Chapter 101
Aaron stepped back on instinct, shocked. Why did he have to meet again the man who had destroyed his life?! If Zane hadn’t left him in the park all those years ago, he would never have met Leonard.Aaron’s hand balled into a fist. “I… I don’t understand what you mean. Stop acting like you know me.” Aaron tried to act normal even though his chest hurt.Leonard said that Maria had handed Aaron back to the Hale family in exchange for money. Even though he had struggled to escape the mansion because he was always beaten and abused. In the end, Maria “saved” him and took him to the orphanage.But he never expected Maria to cruelly sell him again to his father. From childhood to adulthood, his life had only been made into a slave for the Hale family, not their son.Worse, when his father died, Leonard inherited all the Hale wealth, not Aaron.“Don’t play dumb. I already know everything,” Zane said firmly.“So, what do you want? Money?” Aaron sneered. “Has the money Zion, my father, gave Mar

“Watch your mouth when you talk about Zane if you don’t want to deal with me,” Laura snapped, her fists clenched tight. Her face flushed with anger, looking like she was ready to attack.All the men immediately fell silent. Laura was automatically regarded as a powerful woman after officially becoming the Vice CEO of Chrizen Corp.She could kill anyone easily without being caught by the police. After all, the police would think twice before crossing Christopher.Conglomerates were always superior and feared in everything.“We’re sorry.” They couldn’t help but envy Zane. How could a poor-looking guy like him stand beside Laura?Laura grabbed Zane’s hand, just like she did at the party. “Let’s go home.”Zane nodded, and the two of them left the crowd that stared at them with hate.But Zane stopped walking when he bumped into someone very familiar. He felt a bit emotional seeing that the man’s face looked like Evan.“What’s wrong?” Laura frowned as Aaron glared at Zane with resentment, a

The guests sat gracefully, champagne glasses in hand, waiting with curiosity. The music slowly faded as Louis stepped onto the stage.“Thank you for your patience,” Louis said firmly. “Now, it’s time for me to announce who is officially partnered with Chrizen Corp.”His voice echoed across the hall. Everyone straightened up, filled with anticipation, nervousness, and tension.Zane sat at one of the back tables, silent, his sharp eyes observing each guest’s expression—curiosity and greed painted across their faces. From the start, he wanted to know who genuinely sought cooperation, not those who were just flattering.Louis began reading the names of the companies one by one. Every time a name was mentioned, polite applause followed. Some guests even smiled broadly at Louis in gratitude.Laura sat clutching her glass tightly. She waited, holding her breath, hoping Zenith Corp would be called. But the longer Louis spoke, the thinner her hope became.“…And finally,” Louis’s voice rose sli

Laura looked around the ballroom, eyes bright with excitement at the glittering crystal lights. The orchestra played softly, and the scent of expensive perfume filled the air."Ladies and gentlemen," Louis's voice rang clear through the microphone, cutting through the guests' growing whispers. Everyone was captivated as Louis stood on the stage, posture straight like a soldier and his expression serious.They grew eager because the event was about to begin. That meant Christopher would soon appear."I have an important announcement," Louis continued.The room fell silent automatically. All the guests listened intently, faces full of confusion and curiosity."Mr. Christopher is here." Louis glanced toward the entrance. "Welcome, Mr. Christopher."Everyone turned to the door and found Zane and Laura standing at the threshold, looking surprised. The guests stared at them in shock.Realizing people were starting to suspect Zane was Christopher, Louis hurried on. "However, he has chosen to

“Answer me! What did you do to my father that made him submit to you? He was even shaking when he talked to you.” Laura couldn’t hold back her curiosity anymore.“Why do you suddenly want to know?” Zane asked while keeping his focus on the road, a sly smirk tugging at his lips.“Because I know my father—he’s arrogant and never bows to anyone, unless that person is richer than him.”Zane chuckled softly at Laura’s words. The truth was, she already had the answer she’d been looking for.Hudson bowed because he was rich.“But for the first time, my father bowed to a poor man like you,” Laura added.Zane glanced at her briefly, a grin forming on his face. “You’ll find out why your father respects me at the Chrizen Corp event. Be patient.”Laura pouted. “Why don’t you just tell me now?”“If I told you now, you’d think I was lying.”Laura frowned. Her curiosity grew stronger, but she decided to stay quiet and enjoy the ride since Zane was clearly too stubborn.Half an hour later, the car st

The sound of a phone ringing broke the silence inside Hudson Zenith’s office. He was reading Zenith Corp’s financial report, which had been dropping day by day, his face tired and full of despair.Hudson picked up the call without enthusiasm. “What is it?” he asked coldly.“Your daughter...”Hudson’s face instantly turned grim. “I don’t care about Laura. Don’t ever call me just to report her foolish behavior!”He was about to hang up, but his assistant hurriedly said, “But this is important. Laura... Laura is going to the Chrizen Corp inauguration with her boyfriend.”“What?!” Hudson shouted so loud that the pen in his hand flew. “Laura went to Chrizen Corp’s opening?!”The secretary swallowed hard. “Y-Yes, sir. I heard it myself when I accidentally ran into her. She said she’s going with some thug.”“Thug?” Hudson growled in fury. “Has she lost her mind? How dare she try to mess with Christopher! Is she trying to get me killed?!”The secretary stayed quiet, not daring to confirm or d
