Chapter 2

Author: Cold Cloud Deviant
Evelyn's beautiful face was filled with shock, and her gaze was complicated. Her unhappy marriage had always been a thorn in her heart. Was it over now, just like that? Had all her dreams come true?

If that useless man finally left her, she could find a better, richer husband. So why was she not as happy as she had imagined she would be?

Howard, her father, looked up in confusion. "Something's wrong with that kid. He really left, just like that? Is he really not coming back?"

Lana's expression was stormy. "Even better! I've always disliked that wimp. Evelyn, divorce that dog right now and find a richer, more powerful family! Any man on the streets would be a hundred times better than Rinz. I mean, look at all your friends and classmates! They're nowhere near as beautiful as you, but they found better husbands!"

"Alright, that's enough! You're annoying." Evelyn did not appreciate her mother's nagging. She quickly returned to her room and slammed the door shut.

"That wretched girl, what's with her attitude? I'm doing this for her own good! How could she call me annoying? It's all her fault. If she had married into a rich family, we'd be rolling in dough by now. We wouldn't be living in this rundown house! That Rinz is absolutely useless!" Lana ranted.

By then, Elio had already walked out of the building. He took out his phone and dialed the number that had been buried in his heart for ten years. He said calmly, "Mom, send someone to pick me up."

A familiar and gentle voice came from the other side. "Where are you, my boy? I want to see you as soon as possible."

Elio hailed a cab and arrived at Fortune Square half an hour later.

A helicopter slowly descended onto the plaza, causing a minor commotion among the onlookers.

"Where did that helicopter come from? It's going to land on the square."

"It's probably some filthy rich guy. Pfft, the one percent has graduated from luxury cars these days. They're taking straight to the skies!"

As the multimillion-dollar helicopter steadily touched down, a man in black jumped out of the cockpit.

As everyone watched, Elio greeted the man, got into the helicopter, and left the plaza elegantly.

The gathering crowd erupted.

"Damn, that kid is probably some super-rich second-generation heir. That was super cool! Urgh, I don't even want to compare!"

"He's definitely part of the dream of the crop. I don't even think he's from Cloudsea City. I've never heard of one of our wealthy families buying a helicopter."

A stylish young woman said dreamily, "I wonder which family he's from. If only I had a boyfriend like him!"

The others looked down on her. What a love-struck idiot. She should look in the mirror! A man that rich would have supermodels as his girlfriends — yes, plural!

As the helicopter flew over Cloudsea, Elio stared out the window at the blue sky and white clouds. He looked down at the city below and felt as if the world was at his feet.

He was about to return to his previous life of luxury. He was going to inherit a business empire worth billions. Logically speaking, he should be ecstatic, but he was not happy in the slightest. A flawlessly beautiful face kept flashing in his mind. It was his wife, Evelyn!

Uncle Shaw, the man in the passenger seat, turned around and smiled. "Welcome back, Master Elio!"

Elio forced a smile. "It's been a while, Uncle Shaw."

Hundreds of miles away from Cloudsea, there was a natural lake called Mirror Lake. It was huge, like a pearl embedded in the ground, with scenery as beautiful as a painting.

There was an island in the middle of the lake, and on top of the island was a majestic palace called Garuda Estate. It was said that the entire lake, as well as the island and the palace, were privately owned by an extremely secretive tycoon. The place was like a paradise.

The helicopter landed right outside Garuda Estate. Many well-known figures from the surrounding cities had already gathered on the grassy clearing. All of them were elites in their industries. The men were dressed in suits and leather shoes, while the women wore smart suits and dresses. They were all in formal attire.

The moment Elio stepped out of the cabin, everyone bowed and said in unison, "Welcome back, Master!"

    "What?" Charlie's anger boiled over, his face turning bright red as he yelled, "This is too much! I want to see your chairman! He needs to apologize, or he'll regret it when I trash this place!"Laird gave a cold snort, grabbed the ready walkie-talkie, and called out, "Security, get in here, quick! We've got someone trying to wreck the place."In a flash, four security guards in black suits rushed into the room, grabbed Charlie, and marched him right out the door.The poor Jones family heir thought he could throw his weight around, but instead, he got a beating from the guards and ended up tossed outside, his suit torn and his face a mess of bruises.He tried to get up, wanting to shout insults, but the angry stares from the guards scared him silent.

    York nodded non-stop, apologizing. "Got it. Please forgive me. I'm really sorry."With the bill canceled, Elio felt they had done enough. "Let's call it even. Time to go."They walked out, heads high, leaving the staff and the hostesses in awe. York sat on the couch, face grim, and gulped down the fake Louis XIII. It was liquor from some other brand, cleverly resealed to look like the fancy stuff. It tasted pretty good, and hardly anyone could tell it was not the real deal. However, somehow, that kid figured it out. Who was he, anyway?York was fuming. Ever since his shop opened, he had sold bottle after bottle of this top-notch liquor to all sorts of important people, and no one had ever called him out. Now, some nobody had caught him."That little troublemaker, causing a scene in my shop," he grumbled. "Just you wait. I'll take care of you."As the boss was getting worked up and ready to get even, one of the girls spoke up, "That Mr. Rinz seems pretty impressive. I heard he even

    York asked with a friendly smile, "I don't think I've met this young man before. Can someone introduce him?"Yvonne replied with a grin, "This is Mr. Rinz, a dear friend of ours. He's the one who wanted to meet you."York did not know Elio's story, and he looked like an average guy. However, he had ordered three bottles of the fancy Louis XIII cognac and seemed to be friends with some pretty important people, including a famous TV beauty. York could not help but be impressed."Really? I'm super honored and happy to meet you, Mr. Rinz. Hope you'll come to hang out with us more," York said with a big smile. He's the kind of guy who knew just what to say and was ready to shake hands, showing lots of respect. However, Elio did not reach out his hand at all, which made York's smile disappear, and he felt really annoyed inside.Elio just frowned and said, "I think once is enough for this place." Yvonne and the others exchanged puzzled looks. They had no clue why Elio was upset and wh

    "You think you can hit me and get away with it? I could ruin your family in an instant. Now, get out of here, do you hear me?" Tanner yelled at her."You..." Fear flickered in May's eyes. She was too scared to argue, worried about what he might do to her.Jenny let out a sigh, went over to help her friend up, and whispered, "Let's just go. We can't stand up to him. We've just got to deal with this bad luck."May knew the truth. She and Jenny might come from money, but they were nothing compared to Tanner's powerful family. What could she do? If she pushed him too far, she was afraid he might make her disappear for good.May had no choice but to follow her best friend, looking all messy and upset. She did not think she would end up like that, feeling so angry. She was mad at Tanner for messing with her feelings and even madder at Elio, thinking he had a big part in her troubles.The room was super quiet; no one wanted to talk. Tanner was in a bad mood—he got tricked by someone not

    As Evelyn's figure vanished from view, May frowned deeply and sneered, "She's so hopeless. She can't even handle her husband. Being a woman like that is just embarrassing.""Come on, don't be so hard on her," Jenny said. "Evelyn's got guts. She was ready to divorce Elio to stand up for what's right. Friends like her are rare.""Hmph, what good does that do? She still didn't get the stuff back. I really thought she could handle that jerk, but it was a waste," May said, not hiding her scorn."May, just a heads-up," Jenny lowered her voice, "the divorce might be good for Evelyn, but it puts you at risk. I've noticed Tanner looking her way a lot. Be careful."May felt a chill, sensing trouble, but she pushed back, "No way. Tanner told me he only loves me. You're just worrying too much."Jenny could tell what her best friend was thinking but kept it to herself. "Okay, let's just say I didn't mention anything. Let's head back."In the private room, Tanner was eager to hear the news. Wh
