“Grace Cecil!” George stood abruptly, his eyes burning with anger.“What game do you think you're playing? Do you believe you have the power to fire me? I will rally my people to demonstrate and remove you from your position as General Manager.”“Really?” Grace Cecil shocked. “Well, how about this? There are 56 people here. If you can get more than half of these people to support you, I won’t fire you. I might even consider stepping down.”“Keep your word!” George, scanning the room of project managers, his voice filled with defiance, said, “How long are we going to bow to this Capital city woman! This is Blackwood! We need a leader from Blackwood! We will inform the Chairman that Grace is unfit to lead us, oblivious to our local traditions!”Some were still reluctant, but a few hands hesitantly rose.“25... and still not enough to make half,” George shouted, trying to bolster his side. “Come on, guys, we people of Blackwood need to stick together. Now is the time to rise. With the m

"Really?" questioned a businessman, his face already etched with desperation as he gazed at his massive formidable competitors. Suddenly, a glimmer of hope emerged within him.“There are only three senior managers at the Eden Group, and my father is the most senior, just one level below the general manager.” Preston added with confidence."As you know, the current general manager of Eden Group is from the capital city. She doesn’t know much about Blackwood, so she delegates all decisions regarding project contracts to my father!" Preston boasted.As he spoke, more people were drawn to his words.“Listen to me, if you want a quick and guaranteed project from Eden Group, you need to know my father. And with the right…” Robert gestured with his thumb and forefinger, mimicking the universal sign for money, “all of you will get any project you want.”“Are you sure?” asked another businessman.“Envira,” Preston called out to her. “This is my fiancée, from the Deneuve family. I just secured

"Please don’t resign!" Lucas said frightenedly, as he and the other workers quickly crowded around Sophia."Miss Sophia, please don't say something like this. We will handle all this problem together," said another worker hurriedly."But," Sophia's face turned pale, "they are cancelling all the contracts because of me.""Miss Sophia," Lucas added, "as long as headquarters hasn't fired you, please don’t resign. Our livelihoods are connected to you. If you resign now, someone will get angry at us and fire us all.""But the phone call," Sophia glanced towards the incessantly ringing phone."I am having fun answering that," Lucas said with a smirk. "They'll regret it soon.""Yes, even I’m not worried about that. Why must Miss Sophia worry? At times like this, we must believe in headquarters." Added another worker.“Are

As the internal audit group passed through the crowd, George Spencer looked down, his face pale and distant. Everyone around sensed that something was terribly wrong.Before Preston could go to meet his father, four Eden Group security guards approached him and Envira."Are you Preston Spencer and Envira Deneuve?" one of the guards asked with a displeased and mocking tone."Yes," Preston and Envira answered cheerfully, still thinking they would be treated as VIPs."Leave this place now! You are not welcome here," the guard commanded sternly, as two other guards started to push them toward the exit."Hey, stop it," Preston protested, his voice cracking with confusion, disbelief, and anger."My father, George Spencer, is a senior member here. What is your name? You will be fired if you do this to me.""My name is Jackson," the guard replied bluntly, pushing his head to gesture toward George being escorted out of the building. "Your father has just been fired. So get the fuck off this bu

Andrew knew well that his mother fanatically believed in superstitions. She might actually harm that poor man."Mother, it will cause Sophia displeasure," Andrew cautioned."Why should I care about the bitch who put our Deneuve name to shame and bring bad luck to this family?" she retorted sharply.Andrew activated the screen in the living room and displayed the Eden Group awarding Sophia Deneuve a $500 million project.Grandma Deneuve watched the news with a shock."Did she really secure a $500 million project while we are blacklisted by the Eden Group?" she said in disbelief. "How could this have happened?"Another news story showed that George Spencer was fired along with 29 others from Eden Group, as he was proven to have engaged in illegal activities during his work time.Grandma Deneuve yelled, "It turns out the Spencer family, whom we thought would elevate our status, is actually the one dragging us into bankruptcy! I want to sever all ties with them. Cancel our wedding with th

"Victoria," Sophia replied, knowing it's still hard for many people to accept different class marriages."He is a project leader at the company I work for. A good person and also handsome, if that’s what you’re asking."“So it turns out to be true,” Victoria sighed in disbelief.Sophia quickly tried to change the topic. “What made you call?”“My dad can’t see me being happy unemployed forever. He wants me to move to Blackwood City.”“You?” Sophia couldn’t believe what she heard. “You, from a second-tier wealthy family with assets of $1 billion? Why are you moving to this small city?”“I need your help, Sophia Deneuve.”Sophia laughed, “The Deneuves are only a fourth-tier wealthy family with assets of about $100 million. What help could we possibly offer you?”“Even the richest here are only third-tier, with around $500 million in assets. Nobody in Blackwood City can help you, Victoria.”“I have information, but you need to keep it a secret. Can you?” Victoria whispered.“My lips are s

"Sir, I want to report," Lavinia said. "Last night, there are attempts to breach our system and obtain your identity information.""Have you found out who tried to do it?" Alex asked, knowing he has many enemies."It's a group of hackers, and we've already caught them all. They said that the Cavendish family, paid them. What should we do?""Trying to breach into the system and find royal family identity can be charged with spying, and the entire family could be punished.” Alex replied. “But they are my wife’s best friend's family.""Let's give them a second chance for now. If they turn out to be dangerous, we can erase the entire family from the Empire later. Also, try to find out why they want my information.""Yes, sir," Lavinia added, "5 of your collection of cars are already in the Eden Group’s special parking lot; you can use them anytime you want.""Thanks." Alex cut off the communication, thinking about how to entertain his wife's best friend well, to not embarrass his wife.Ho

Grandma Deneuve was walking with Jerry through the mansion's hall to her room. “How is Lionville?” Grandma Deneuve asked. “Did you build a good network there, Jerry?” “Grandma, in the capital city, the rank of the family is everything. Since they know I am only from a fourth-rank family in a relative remote city, none of them want to talk with me. It's so hard to build any connection.” Jerry continued, “That's why, in my opinion, marrying Victoria Cavendish is the fastest way to elevate our family rank.” Inside her room, Grandma Deneuve opened a drawer, and beside the drawer, there was a small secret compartment. When she put her hand there, a small bottle fell out. She handed it to Jerry. "Inside this bottle is a poison. If a woman comes into contact with it, she must make love within 30 minutes, or she will die. Use it on Victoria when you have the chance." Jerry looked at his grandma in shock. “Don’t ask where it came from. It was supposed to be used to get Sophia married to

Ophelia nearly leaped from her seat in shock, her eyes bulging wide as she whispered harshly, "Alex, have you gone completely mad? It’s utterly impossible! The Golden Guild would never partner with an insignificant family like ours!"But Alex merely smiled, calm and unnaturally confident, his voice steady as he whispered persuasively, "Relax, Ophelia. You’re always saying I’m nothing more than a jobless fool. So why not let this fool try?”“I'll prepare the proposal. It'll carry your name—who knows? Maybe fortune will finally smile upon us.""Alex—" Ophelia hesitated, uncertainty wavering in her voice."Come now, Ophelia," Alex urged more insistently, eyes blazing with unexpected determination."We have nothing left to lose, and everything to gain. At worst, we fail quietly, but at best—we rise triumphantly.”“Besides, look at your grandmother. She’ll erupt into flames if no one steps up."Ophelia felt herself slipping into resignation—after all, they were already at the bottom.What

“Fine,” Alex exhaled deeply, the weight of guilt hidden beneath his stoic exterior. “Exactly how much is this damned debt?”“Half a million,” Peter replied tersely.“And?” Alex pressed impatiently.“I've settled them all. I refuse to attend university while people whisper that I still owe money.”With a dramatic flourish, Alex swung his bag onto the table, swiftly drawing out half a million dollars in crisp bills and slamming them down.Peter and Yuri stared, mouths agape.“Take this cash and get yourselves to university immediately!”“Where did you get this money?” Yuri gasped, eyes wide with disbelief.“I won it gambling,” Alex smirked devilishly. “Now leave before I gamble it all away again!”Peter snatched the money greedily, gripping it tightly. Yuri paused at the threshold, turning back briefly, whispering softly, “Thank you.”She bolted out into the night.Soon after, Ophelia approached Alex, urgency blazing in her eyes. “Alex, Grandma’s summoned us to the D’Arcy mansion.

“You're right…” Michael whispered hoarsely, his voice dripping with bitter resignation.He dropped his gaze to the floor, unable to meet anyone’s eyes as he imagined the volcanic fury that would soon erupt from his father and his grandfather Baron Dunsmore.He had utterly destroyed their family’s empire in one reckless move.He could already see their grand barony plunging into poverty, spiraling down into disgrace, just like Alex Leonhard’s pitiful house."I—I have to get home. Immediately," Michael stammered, dread gripping his heart like an iron fist.In no time at all, scandalous whispers stormed through the streets of Haventon, spreading faster than wildfire—The Golden Guild had brutally expelled the proud Dunsmore family.Rumors flew thick and vicious, speculation rife with venom.Though no one knew exactly what grave sin had provoked the Guild’s wrath, it was clear the Dunsmores had committed an unforgivable transgression.Overnight, their vast fortune shriveled, their lofty st

Jessica Golden hadn't built her towering reputation in Haventon City by luck alone.Her renown as a shrewd, commanding businesswoman preceded her, enhanced by an enchanting charm that masked the steel beneath her velvet exterior.At an astonishingly young age, Jessica had already ascended to the role of head branch at the Haventon branch of the Golden Guild—a testament to her exceptional prowess.Her influence ran deep—an invisible architect behind the meteoric rise of the Haventon branch, which now stood as a gleaming beacon among the many others branches scattered across the country and viscounties, each overseen by one of Count Golden’s other ambitious sons or daughters.Yet, this city—this prized jewel called Haventon—was unquestionably Jessica’s domain.Jessica's confident composure briefly faltered upon seeing Alex Leonhard.The young man's striking looks, combined with his astounding ability to concoct miraculous pills, left her momentarily breathless.Her trusted managers had

Inside the Golden Guild.The vastness struck Alex like a cathedral of wealth—marble pillars soared skyward, each one gleaming under a vaulted ceiling etched with ornate carvings.The hall buzzed like a gilded hive, sleek-suited tellers moving behind golden-trimmed counters with surgical precision.A cool blend of polished oak and metallic sharpness filled the air, mingling seamlessly with the rhythmic murmur of transactions and the musical clink of coins exchanged.Alex stepped forward, the soft click of his boots echoing defiantly on the glossy marble floor.His eyes darted through ornate signage until they landed decisively upon a gleaming plaque: "Item Appraisal & Acquisition."Three counters lay before him, each more exclusive than the last.The first brimmed with commoners clutching cheap trinkets, buzzing impatiently with bargains under hundred credits.The second hosted more composed merchants, quietly guarding wares of moderate value.Yet it was the third counter, isolated at

The next morning, Alex awoke at his usual early hour, greeted by the startling silence of the noble household.He was struck by the realization that these privileged creatures never rose before the sun had fully taken its throne in the sky.Shaking off his surprise, Alex swiftly prepared breakfast, careful to include dishes lavish enough for his wife and, inevitably, his demanding mother and father-in-law.His eyes fell upon the old bicycle gathering dust in the storage room, which, with just a few deft adjustments, was ready once again for action.After an hour-long journey that tested his endurance, Alex finally arrived at the imposing gates of The Golden Guild.He carefully parked the bicycle at the edge of the opulent parking lot, just as a gleaming luxury car slid arrogantly into the spot directly opposite him.Alex's heart sank as he watched a sharply-dressed couple emerge from the luxury vehicle.The man wore an impeccably tailored suit, exuding wealth and superiority, while th

Alex hurried toward the front door, but before he could even walk down the steps, Ophelia stormed inside, trailed furiously by her mother, Michelle, and her father, Justin.The trio burst into the manor as if it were their own, arrogance dripping from their every move—clearly, this wasn't their first invasion.Instantly, the manor filled with blistering tension, a tempest charged with scorn and disdain.Michelle’s shrill voice sliced through the silence, her words dripping venom." Ophelia you better divorce your husband. Alex Leonhard is worthless sack of shame! He is a stain upon our family name. Divorce him, Ophelia—now! Or your grandmother will toss you straight out of the D’Arcy nobility like garbage!"Ophelia stood unmoved, her voice cool, iron beneath velvet, "If that's her choice, I'll simply live here with Alex. He’s my husband, a Baron; my place was always at his side."Michelle’s face twisted with disgust, her eyes blazing."You stubborn fool! What’s so alluring about this

Baron Leonhard once ruled over five villages, but now, two had already deserted him—broken by famine, crushed under unbearable taxes, fleeing for their lives.The remaining three clung desperately together, their souls shredded thin, teetering on the brink of collapse.Misfortune had etched itself into their bones, and they cursed the day they were born into this forsaken land.Two years ago, life was tough but tolerable; they were poor but not starving, scraping by day to day, always hoping tomorrow might offer something better.Then, without warning, the Baron emerged from shadows unknown, raising taxes with ruthless indifference, draining them dry like a vampire thirsting for blood.The villagers' whispers grew darker, their hatred sharper, praying nightly for the Baron's swift demise—but as cruel fate would have it, evil had a way of outliving hope.Today began as another hollow morning, the fields barren as their stomachs, empty hands grasping at dust.But today was different, to

“A gift?” Michael Dunsmore burst out laughing, the sound sharp and cutting, echoing through the garden.“Who the hell do you think you are, Alex? Last I checked, you barely had two miserable villages scraping by on dirt and despair. You've borrowed so much money these past two years, I'm amazed you can still afford your own damn underwear!”Michael’s cruel laughter was shared by the surrounding crowd.His confidence was bolstered by the knowledge of his family's immense wealth—the prestigious Dunsmore clan controlled four prosperous villages, making Alex's poverty an easy target.Though Michael stood next to Olivia, his fiancée, his eyes lingered hungrily on Ophelia D’Arcy.Her radiant beauty eclipsed Olivia's entirely, and it burned him deeply to see such perfection bound to someone as worthless as Alex.Two years prior, Ophelia had fallen gravely ill, her delicate life hanging by a thread.It was Alex who stepped in, with knowledge unknown to others, and saved her life.In gratitude
