Chapter 1

After I got off the plane, my assistant, Reagan Judd, drove me straight to Smyth Hot Springs Club.I was the owner of this club, and I mostly used it as a place to host my elite clients. The threshold for registering as a member of my club was quite high. While I made money from running the club, it also helped filter the clients who were worthy enough to do business with me.At the same time, I could help connect them with others. Because of that, many elites of the business world liked to come here, sit around, talk about life, and casually gather the latest information.That was how information gaps came about, and through them, I gradually became an untouchable new figure with immense influence in the financial world."Mr. Smith, Mr. Salway and Mr. Cooper of Rogmire are here tonight. Would you like to see them now?" Reagan asked.I rubbed my temples and replied, "Okay. Ask them to come over."I had just gotten off the plane. After soaking in a hot spring and grabbing a bottle

Brett looked displeased as he patted my face. "Kieran, you've got quite an attitude. You're selling wine here, but you refuse to drink, huh? Does your boss know?"I replied steadily, "He does. The boss said we have full discretion to decide if we want to drink or not."Harry slammed the table and said, "You put on quite a convincing act. Your boss might've said that, but what he didn't say is that when your client is Brett, you will have to drink no matter what!"Brett liked what Harry said. He lifted his chin at me and continued, "You won't be able to save enough to buy a bottle of this even after working your whole life, you country bumpkin. Come on, pour the wine!"Harry immediately played along. "Brett is right. Who knows? Maybe he'll enjoy it. The only fitting job for a poor loser like him is to stand here and serve us."The two of them chortled mockingly.I looked at Zyla. She remained silent the whole time as she sat beside Brett. Occasionally, she glanced at me. Her eyes

Brett froze for a moment. "Are you threatening me? I replied, "Firstly, this room was already reserved, and the person who booked it wasn't you. This bottle of wine wasn't for you either. You forced me to open it and took over the room, and now you want to force me to drink? You'd better think carefully about the consequences."My words made them hesitate.Someone beside Brett said, "I've heard the owner of Smyth Hot Springs Club holds grudges. Also, only VIP clients can book Room 308."Others spoke up one after another."Maybe we should just let it go, Brett.""Yeah, I think this pauper is trying to set you up. He deliberately brought us here.""Let's go somewhere else. We'll have plenty of chances to deal with this guy later."I broke free from them and rubbed my sore shoulder.Just then, Brett snapped back to his senses and slammed the table. "What's there to be afraid of? My uncle and Mr. Cooper are hosting an important guest tonight, and this is the room they reserved. I

Right away, the faces of the people behind Brett fell dramatically."It's you?""Are you telling me you're the Mr. Smith?"Reagan pushed her way out of the crowd. The moment she saw me, her expression immediately turned grim.Brett, however, still looked clueless. "Mr. Smith? Who's Mr. Smith?"Reagan quickly called for someone to bring a towel and began wiping me down. "Mr. Smith, should I have them all thrown out?"Meanwhile, Brett kept talking arrogantly. "Who are you? Why are you addressing him so respectfully? What a joke! He's just a lowly wine promoter. You spent money to hire a waitress from the club to act this out with you, didn't you? Was that really necessary?"Edmond Salway, who was standing nearby, was so livid that he looked like he might faint from anger. Pointing at Brett, he shouted, "Shut up! Just stop talking already!"Brett blabbered ignorantly, "Listen to me, Uncle Edmond. Kieran was my college classmate. This guy is just a poor loser. He—"Before he could

"What do you mean?" Brett looked absolutely confused.Edmond shot back, "It means we owe him, you idiot! He won't show any mercy. He's definitely going to come after you. Just you wait!"Brett didn't believe it at all. He didn't believe that I, the coward, would dare lay a hand on him. In fact, he didn't buy it for a second. He said indifferently, "Stop trying to scare me. Kieran? Come after me? Has the world gone mad? He's just the owner of a club. What's there to be afraid of?"Brett was the only son of his generation in the Salway family. So, he had been spoiled rotten since he was a child. There was no way he would listen to anyone.Of course, he didn't believe a single word Edmond had said, especially when the opponent was someone he saw as useless as me.Edmond was furious. "I'll deal with you properly when we get home!"After returning home, he ordered his men to keep an eye on Brett and even assigned him bodyguards. No matter what, they had to protect their sole heir fr

In less than three days, all of the Salway family's projects and supply channels fell apart. Edmond flew into a rage and cursed nonstop, but he could do nothing about it.Brett, who was a scion, had only ever cared about having fun, fighting, and bullying others. He used to drive luxury cars and flirt with ladies all over town. Now, he was beaten so badly that his whole body ached, and he couldn't even get out of bed. He finally realized that he had offended someone he couldn't afford to offend. Otherwise, the Salway family's business wouldn't have plummeted like this.Only then did it dawn on him that I held a grudge against him.He went to the entrance of my club and asked to see me. However, he couldn't even get past the front door. He had been able to enter before because he carried the Salway family name. I had my own criteria for selecting clients. The Salway family had offended me this time. In the past, I might have let it slide for Samson's sake. But now, Brett amounted

This time, I was the one who was stunned. "They're not married? Then, why were they together back then?"Harry replied, "How would I know? I was just tagging along with him for fun. I don't really know why Zyla came back either. Maybe she couldn't make it out there, or maybe she regrets everything… I really have no idea!"Watching him kneel on the ground, crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, along with the stitches at the corner of his mouth splitting open again and bleeding, I suddenly felt a wave of disgust. I had someone drag him away.A small fry like Harry was nothing more than Brett's lackey. If Brett had already been dealt with, how much better off could Harry be? The only reason I had spared him was so I could get Zyla's whereabouts from him.After getting her address, I drove there myself. When I arrived and saw the familiar old building, I was stunned for a moment.I had thought that after she got together with Brett, she would at least have moved somewher

When Zyla spoke, her tone was calm. It sounded as if she were merely talking about something insignificant. But hearing it made my heart ache.Zyla elaborated, "My mom was hit by a car after her night shift. The driver fled the scene. There were no cameras on that road, so I couldn't find the culprit or get any compensation. I had to pay for everything myself. I couldn't just abandon my mom. That 100 thousand dollars was my only hope."I exclaimed, "You could've told me! We could've worked hard together!"I hadn't expected the truth to be this cruel. It was more melodramatic than I had imagined.Zyla cut me off without hesitation, "Kieran, I can't see the future. Neither of us could've known that you would become a tycoon who could shake the whole city eight years later. "Back then, we were just college students. Your family was already under heavy financial pressure. How could I tie you down and drag you to hell with me?"You've seen it. For the past eight years, this has been

Zyla nudged me. "Go comfort her. She's upset. I heard she's been with you for a long time. I… I think you should explain things."There was a gloomy look on her face. Instantly, I knew she had misunderstood.I was a powerful boss with a beautiful female secretary by my side—anyone would jump to conclusions. When I wasn't around, Reagan was the one in charge. Anyone who saw her would assume she was the lady of the house.In the past, I had let that assumption stand to prevent people from springing honey traps on me.But I didn't dare risk it with Zyla.I panicked and explained, "Don't misunderstand, honey! Reagan is my assistant. Don't get the wrong idea. The one she's seeing is my secretary, Donovan Lynd. In fact, she became my assistant just to pursue Donovan."Hearing this, Reagan rolled her eyes at me. "If it weren't for Donovan's sake, why would I follow you around working so hard? Besides, now that you're married, when are you going to transfer Donovan back from overseas? I'
