Chapter 17
At the Red Syndicate headquarters, Victor crushed the report document that explained how the thugs led by Tom had failed to capture Halston. Instead, they were humiliated once again and ended up being treated in the hospital."Shouldn't we be more cautious of that strange man? He has the ability to defeat our mid-level members," said Nadine, a spy in the group, while reading the information about Halston.Her forehead furrowed as she discovered that Halston's school records were fake. He had never studied anywhere in Veyland, as if he were someone who did not exist. His sudden appearance in Rivertone was also suspicious, especially since he had married Mia in such a short period."I have a bad feeling about this," Nadine continued. "What if we report it to Big Boss Enzo?"Victor threw a sharp glare at her, making Nadine forget all the suggestions in her mind. Big Boss was the title for the leader of the Red Syndicate, and any report submitted to Enzo had to be extremely important."Do
Chapter 16
The guards were initially worried they would get fired for making a mistake. But seeing how wisely Halston handled the situation, they no longer had to think about that. They had assumed he would yell at them by using his connection to Miles, just like the rumors said that he took advantage of the Brown family."Not all rumors can be trusted. Return to your posts while I go meet Mr. Rowan," said Halston, patting Alex's shoulder before walking away.He could have ruined the guards' lives with a single command. But after hiding his identity to become Mia's husband, he started to realize how arrogant rich people acted as if they were gods.They were the same people who would kneel before him, begging for money. A person's true character can be seen in how they treat those they believe are beneath them."Looks like I don't need to reveal my identity just yet," Halston muttered, glancing at a woman dressed in all crystal striking a valet because he had not opened her car door fast enough.
Chapter 15
Ethan pushed aside the shame of being ignored, more shocked to find out that Halston really did have an invitation to the dinner. Even so, his mind could not accept that Halston knew someone as influential as Miles.What Halston had been doing all this time was working as a delivery guy and bothering Mia. Ethan could not find any connection between that clown and a famous investor."Sir, I think you've misunderstood something. The man dragged out by the security team isn't your guest. He's actually the useless ex-husband of CEO Mia," Ethan finally concluded.Miles frowned. "Are you talking about Mia Brown from Silver Trust?""Exactly!" Ethan replied, thinking his conclusion was correct. "You probably haven't heard the gossip among the city's elite since you're busy. His name is Halston, and he caused a scene claiming you invited him to dinner. Obviously, he's just pretending to be your guest!"Since Miles did not respond, Ethan kept going with his chatter, thinking this was his chance
Chapter 14
The guards, swayed by Ethan's words, immediately grabbed Halston. They were afraid their superiors would scold them for allowing someone like Halston to enter the restaurant. Eden West was a symbol of wealth, and the rich were always sensitive when someone from a lower class stepped into their territory.Ethan grinned in satisfaction. "This man might be dressed neatly and politely, but he's actually Halston, the useless ex-husband of CEO Mia from Silver Trust! He probably got compensation from the divorce and used it to sneak into the elite circle!""I-I didn't know this man was a leech sucking off the Brown family!" the guard at the entrance stammered."You should have been more careful," Ethan glanced at the name tag on the guard's uniform, his eyes gleaming with mischief as a wicked idea crossed his mind. "Your name is Alex, right? I'll report you to your supervisor so you'll get fired for being careless on duty!"Hearing that, the waitress rushed inside and resumed her work. She w
Chapter 13
Julian laughed along because nothing made more sense than Grayson's words. "That loser did it, and I'm the one embarrassed! He probably spent his divorce compensation money to hire that actor," he sneered."But why would he approach Kyra? That's strange," Grayson said while rubbing his chin."Obviously because he thinks I'm easy to fool," Nick replied angrily. "That loser Halston convinced my father to marry him to Mia. And now that Mia dumped him, he thinks he can get close to Kyra and live off my family!"Everyone believed Halston lived comfortably in the mansion given to him by the Brown family, but Mia actually treated him like a servant. It was even worse than that, since Mia never appreciated him, even though he worked hard. No one would believe him if he said that she treated her dog better than him.With all those nasty rumors, Nick had no good impression of Halston. He grabbed Grayson's shoulder and pleaded, "You have to defeat that loser no matter what! I don't want him anyw
Chapter 12
"Grayson Spark?" Halston frowned, recognizing the neatly dressed man. He knew him because Grayson came from the Spark family, whose wine brand had always been a top seller thanks to funding from Dominion Capital.The reason he could remember Grayson was because his parents would always boast about how their son would be able to handle the family business well, so the Overlord didn't need to worry about its future."You know me?" Grayson raised an eyebrow, inspecting Halston's appearance with a judgmental gaze. "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before. That's strange, because loudmouths like you would never be anywhere near me."Julian snickered and said, "Mr. Spark, you must've seen this loser somewhere. All the wealthy people in the city know him. He's Halston, the useless husband of Mia Brown!""I don't have time for gossip like that because I'm busy managing the family business. But what is this parasite doing here?""As you heard, he's trying to get close to Kyra and even bragg
