LOGINEver since I was a kid, I could see the bank balance floating above people's heads. After I took a summer job at an electronics factory, this ability helped me dodge plenty of workplace scams and shady coworkers. But everything changed on a Friday afternoon when Hailey Marin, the factory beauty, slammed her phone down in front of me. "I thought my online date was a rich heir with sports cars," she complained, rolling her eyes. "Turns out, he's just a broke guy tightening screws in the next workshop. He keeps begging to meet up, and it's driving me crazy. Go meet him and pretend you're me." I looked at where she pointed. A young man in a faded uniform was squatting by the gate, trying to fix a peeling scooter. Nearby workers were openly mocking him. Hailey wrinkled her nose. "Letting a guy like that carry my purse in public would be an embarrassment." I didn't hear a word she said. My full attention was on the numbers hovering above his head. Tens. Hundreds. Thousands. Tens of thousands... Hundreds of millions. I nearly choked on my boba. It was a staggering eight-figure balance. And the numbers were still ticking upward in real-time. I grabbed Hailey's arm. "Quick. Tell me every detail you two talked about online." She froze. "Are you crazy? You really want to meet that broke loser?" I nodded, looking at the hidden billionaire outside. "Yep."

Blinded by a black cloth, she's led into a big spacious room where she's left behind. Inside the warm room, with the sunlight nearing it's setting time, laid a woman on the luxurious, well laid and soft big bed.The woman was entangled in a nearly transparent black veil, and a beautiful white bow was tied at the end of the black veil which fell on the woman's lower abdomen and touched her laps.From the side view, you can tell she is a very beautiful woman with milky white skin and a sharp high bridged nose. Her skin is smooth and her figure is beautiful.Her small and shapely face was blindfolded by black gauze and her nervousness could be seen from the tight silk quilt hands which kept shaking in her laps.With a "click", the door opened leading in and out of the room opens.The silence suddenly seems so loud as someone enters into the room bringing a soft fragrance in.The visitor was silent, and the sound of footsteps was muffled on the carpet.Hearing the slight sound of the door opening, Sue turned pale with nervousness and her hands shook even harder.Then someone reached out and stroked her face, making her flinch for a second. His fingers are not smooth with a rough layer of calluses on the palm and fingers alike.Sue was so frightened and nervous that she trembled violently, almost like she would run away any minute."Ah!" Sue mumbled with a teary voice sounding like she is almost crying.With a crying and nervous voice: "Please, please... let me go." Sue mutters almost silently, hoping whoever it is in the room with her will listen to her pleas.She was like a nervous little rabbit, begging with red but covered eyes and even the room was a dark one."Regret agreeing to this marriage already?" A low and magnetic male voice said very close to Sue's ear.Sue flinches at the closeness of the voice.Although this voice was a question, there was no joy or anger or any emotion at all in it.Sue's body trembled more and more.Tonight, she is here in place of her sister. The Mason and Greene families are about to marry but tonight is to ensure that the daughter of the Greene family is clean.As a tradition of the Mason Family to check the women to be married into their homes, tonight was one of those nights. Although in the past generations, the tradition had been dropped but it's been held tonight.Sue Drayton was not perfect, but she was clean enough that her family forced her to come.As expected or is always done, the person who examined the body was not the eldest or youngest son of the family, but just a bodyguard, gardener, cook or someone from the lower class of the Mason family.The Mason family did not agree with this marriage, so they deliberately made such a this tradition known to them to know if they will back out or not just to humiliate the Greene family.In order to climb up the ladder, so as for the Greene family to be allied to the Mason family and even though they knew that there was a fire pit in front of them, they had to jump into it.Sue was the moth sent to the Mason family flame by James Greene, her supposed father, and she was not prepared for this at all."I, I'm afraid, can you...can you give me some time?"After she finished speaking, her small chin was pinched, and a man's extremely indifferent and emotionless voice came too close to her ear again, "No one can talk to me about conditions."Although she couldn't see the appearance of the man in front of her, she could feel the powerful aura of the man.Feeling his breath getting closer, Sue was so frightened that tears fell and her hands shook very fast like they were going to fall off."No..." Sue said unwillingly with a teary voice, struggling to escape from this place."Do you think you have the qualifications to say no? Miss Alexa, recognize your identity and be classy." The man's domineering and powerful words floated into her ears and danced to her brainThat voice seemed to be cold to the depths of the bone marrow.She could hear the contempt, disdain and disgust in it."Feel aggrieved?" The man increased his strength, and her chin was pinched to the point of pain.Sue could feel the chill on the man's body through the black gauze, and she didn't know whether it was cold or it was because of her trembling from fright.She gritted her teeth and said unwillingly, "If I could choose, I would definitely not come!"If the Greene family hadn't been kind to her and adopted her and took her in since she was a child, she wouldn't have to come here today in place of her sister.The little woman's stubborn expression caught his eye, and the man smiled mockingly, "Since the women of the Greene family want to climb up to the Mason family so much, then don't put on such a wronged look, you are not worthy!"Hearing the man's words about not deserving even the least level of respect, Sue clenched her fists.The man, like the storm outside the window, showed no pity for her on the bed that night, Sue closed her eyes and tears fell.Greene family, I have paid off what I owe you! Sue said and closed her eyes to the world.The heavy rain fell all night and stopped at dawn, and the sunlight gently poured in through the glass and reflected back to her eyes, and Sue woke up from her drowsiness.The long and lushious eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings and she opened her eyes, blinking a few times before adjusting to the light. Thinking of what happened last night, her little face suddenly became terrified. She looked to her side of the bed and it was not occupied, the room was empty except for her, and thankfully, there was no man.She moved her fingers over her body and felt her whole body was sore. She struggled to get out of bed while holding back hot tears, casually put on a sleeping gown and dragged her exhausted body to the bathroom.Pushing the door open, she stiffened on the spot.Lying casually in the bathtub was an indifferent man with delicate and handsome features but an expression like an ice cold sculpture. He looks like a living god with all his facial features looking like they were intricately made.Hearing the door opening, the man slowly opened his eyes and looked at the door. They look at each other.This moment was electric. A sudden moment when something unexpected like a shock happened and neither party can help it.She had never met a person with such a powerful aura. Those cold eyes were like giant eagles flying on the snowy mountains. Sue's legs were already soft like jelly. When she saw him like this, Sue fought the urge kneel on the ground.Could he be the man from last night?!For a while, Sue didn't know whether to sigh at the man's handsomeness, or how to break the awkward atmosphere now.The man's eyes were too cold, and she didn't know how to react, so she had to step back cowardly, to just run from there."Stop." The man ordered, and his voice was a little more hoarse after he was satisfied, very sexy and magnetic.Sue stammered: "That... I, I didn't know you were there, I'll go out now."Who is this uncle? This man is definitely not a cook. Is he a bodyguard? He definitely has the body but the face does not match."come over here." He orders againJust after turning around to leave, she could feel his eyes on her like a thorn in her back and she could only stand motionless like a bunny being stared at by a giant eagle."No, it's not very convenient." She refuses and takes another step forward"Don't let me say it a second time." The man was used to being aloof, and every word, every sentence that dropped from him had an irresistible majesty.Sue didn't dare to disobey his words, turned around and took very small steps and walked over to him."You asked me to come over. I'm here now" Sue mutters meekly Strangely, she had no temper at all in front of this person. This person seemed to be born to rule the life and death of others.Like a god.A big steamy palm grabbed her wrist, Sue let out a coquettish cry, and fell heavily and not so girlishly into the water."Sir, what are you doing..." Sue managed to cry in pain, tears gathering in her eyes.Her chin was lifted like he did the previous night, and the man's eyes as deep as treasure coves stared straight into her kwn eyes.The little girl with red lips and white teeth faded away after baptism. Her gown became transparent and all her treasures were outlined on the gown because it got wet."Come to me early in the morning?" His voice was hoarse, which seemed very indescribable in this atmosphere.The little head shook frantically, "I didn't, I just thought you had left and wanted to take a shower." Sue explains, looking like a lost puppy and it amuses himSue didn't hear the sound of water before she came in, so who knew there would be someone inside."This excuse..." The man whispered in her ear: "It sucks."His scorching breath was in her ears, and she wondered if the water vapor was too hot, and Sue's face turned red tons of times."I'm not lying, sir, please let me go.""Heh... you just got here and you want to leave so soon? Remember, you don't have the right to choose."Sue struggled frantically, messing up and splashing all the bath water in the tub on the pristine white floor.The moment the words left Lucas's mouth, the ground beneath our feet began to vibrate.That wasn't the rattling of the loan sharks' rusted vans. It was the synchronized wail of police sirens.Shortly after, blinding headlights pierced through the workshop's thick dust curtains. Five pitch-black, armored Maybach S680s cut through the courtyard like steel beasts, roaring forward with overwhelming dominance.They ruthlessly rammed the vans aside before coming to a synchronized halt in the dead center of the stamping workshop.The car doors threw open in unison. It wasn't just a handful of men, but over 100 elite bodyguards in black suits and Bluetooth earpieces deployed in perfect formation.Beyond them, heavily armed SWAT vehicles sealed off the perimeter.The arrogant leader and his menacing mob dropped their steel pipes. Their legs gave out, and they fell to their knees, holding their heads and trembling in terror.Splitting the sea of black suits came the CEO of the state's lar
The exposure of the theft did not mark the end of the crisis.Word of Zach's asset fraud and the stolen motherboard leaked, prompting the foreign acquisition team to withdraw their letter of intent and walk out of the negotiations.When the settlement date arrived, the ticking time bomb of Zach's astronomical debts finally detonated. Several rusted vans rammed straight through the factory's shaky iron gates.The side doors slammed open, and 50 to 60 tattooed thugs armed with steel pipes and baseball bats poured into the courtyard like starving wolves.A burly man with a jagged scar across his face led the pack. With one vicious swing, he shattered the security booth's windows."Pay your debts!" he roared. "Zach Langston owes us $15,000,000! If we don't get our cash today, we're tearing this facility apart and selling it for scrap metal!"A wave of huge panic gripped the factory.The workers shrieked, scattering in every direction. Matthew locked himself inside his office, too te
The situation spiraled into chaos. The security guards rushed forward, pinning Zach and Patrick firmly to the ground.Just as the moment of reckoning unfolded, a screech suddenly rang out. "She's a fraud! Don't believe her! She's no genius!"Seeing that Zach was finished, Hailey lost her mind and desperately attempted to save her own skin. She lunged at Matthew, her hair wild as she pointed a finger at me."Sir, her name isn't even Hailey Marin! She is my roommate. She stole my identity and my photos just to catfish this broke mechanic online. She's nothing but a vicious impersonator!"The crowd, already reeling from the previous asset fraud revelation, froze yet again. Hailey spun around, staring at Lucas like her last lifeline.A manic cackle escaped her mouth. "Lucas, you idiot! Do you think you're some deeply romantic hero? You don't even realize the woman you've been coddling is a total fake! You got played like a fool, yet here you are standing up for her. How pathetic!"To
A laptop was quickly brought over.Ignoring the glares from Patrick and Zach, I plugged the data cable into the main board's spare port. My fingers flew across the keyboard, bypassing the visual OS to punch a long string of low-level command code into the system.Once I hit Enter, the paralyzed master screen flickered, and cascades of green text flooded down the black background. My tracking script flared to life, splitting the display into two screens.On the left, a real-time GPS map pinpointed a red dot at an underground recycling yard two kilometers behind the factory.On the right, a log of emails scrolled by—negotiations sent within the last 24 hours from Zach's private account to a black-market buyer.[Item: German CNC micro mainboard. Price: $2,000,000 cash. Delivery: 9 PM tonight at the southern recycling station.]The evidence was ironclad.The foreign technical supervisor sucked in a sharp breath, pulling off his glasses in sheer disbelief.
