《All Five of My Sisters Have Systems》 Chapter 1 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Aunt, you know, I¡¯ve always respected my five sisters!¡± ¡°That doesn¡¯t mean you should hold off on marriage! You respect all of your five sisters. Does it mean that you think they¡¯re all very nice?¡± ¡°If you like one of them, just tell me! Don¡¯t be shy with me. After all, I¡¯m your godmother!¡± The woman who was talking with him was Bennett, his aunt, who was not blood-related to him. Her personality was as impressive as her figure. She was forty-eight years old this year and could not be considered young anymore. However, thanks to expensive health supplements, her figure was still incredible, and she gave off an elegant lady vibe. She had a pair of beautiful eyes that could enchant countless men. She was definitely an entrancing mature woman. Young girls in Simon¡¯s class had asked him several times about Bennett¡¯s secret method of maintaining her beauty. When he mentioned that his aunt had five daughters, those naive little girls all widened their eyes in surprise! As for why Simon, an ordinary college student, could have a beautiful young woman from a different universe as his aunt, the story started ten years ago. Although he was magically transferred here from another universe, Simon had the memories of the body that now he was in. At that time, he had just turned ten years old. He followed his parents to the hospital to get a free medical check-up. Coincidentally, he met Bennett, who had been in a car accident, on the road. Simon¡¯s parents were very helpful and called the ambulance. Although it only scratched her skin, Bennett was still carried by ambulance to the city hospital. As the saying goes, one accident always occurred with another. Although she avoided a car accident, she had been found to have myeloma in the hospital! There were two conditions for curing this disease. First, there had to be money. Second, there had to be hematopoietic stem cells. However, Bennett had Rh-negative blood. There was no matching blood type in the entire city¡¯s bone marrow bank. It just so happened that Simon¡¯s blood type was recorded by the hospital when he was vaccinated, and that was exactly the Rh-negative blood Bennet needed! The moment they got the news, Bennet¡¯s parents flew back from abroad. The old couple had a daughter in their old age, and they came to Simon¡¯s parents¡¯ house. Simon¡¯s parents were a little hesitant, after all, Simon was only ten years old at the time. Their lack of knowledge worried them that donating blood stem cells would have an impact on their child¡¯s growth. But at that time, Simon¡¯s words completely dispelled the parent¡¯s concerns. He said, ¡°I want to be like you, be a helpful person!¡± Childlike words, but really moved the parents, so they agreed to Bennet¡¯s parents¡¯ request. Later, Bennett¡¯s parents spent a lot of money to hire an expert in bone marrow transplantation. The surgery was very successful! Soon after she was discharged from the hospital, Bennett came to visit Simon¡¯s family with her parents and a generous reward. Simon¡¯s parents never considered asking for a reward. They insisted that they did not want a penny! The Bennett family was very touched, but the more Simon¡¯s family rejected, the more they wanted to do something for them. In the end, Bennet and Simon¡¯s father took each other as brother and sister, and Simon was deemed a nephew by Bennet. From then on, Simon had an aunt! From then on, the relationship between the two families was closer than blood relations, and they got together every New Year. Three years ago, Simon had just entered college, and his parents died in an accident. Simon had died in that accident, too. But someone¡¯s soul was magically transferred to his world, and now was living in his body. When Bennet got the news, she flew back from abroad. In front of Simon¡¯s parents¡¯ spirit tablet, she cried so hard that she almost passed out. But in her grief, she did not forget to take over Simon¡¯s custody. However, Simon was already seventeen years old at the time. He had just entered his favorite university, so he did not agree to his aunt¡¯s proposal to send him abroad. And now, he graduated from university. When Simon was packing his luggage in the dormitory, four burly men wearing sunglasses suddenly rushed in. Without saying a word, they carried his things and stuffed them into the SUV downstairs. Then, they stepped on the accelerator pedal and left! That was almost all of Simon¡¯s belongings. Just like that, Aunt Bennett threatened Simon with his luggage and persuaded him to get into her Ferrari. At this moment, they were heading to a villa in the suburbs. ¡°Simon, I will not give you a chance to live in a small and dilapidated rental house! Give up on that idea!¡± Bennet said unyieldingly. Her good intentions had been rejected by Simon countless times, so this time, she was unscrupulous and had to take him away! No matter how unwilling Simon was, he could only sigh helplessly. Seeing that Simon was unhappy, Bennett thought that she had spoken too harshly and scared him. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she said in a sad tone, ¡°You are the only child of my brother. Back then, your family saved me. If I can¡¯t even protect you well, how can I face them when I meet them again up there! ¡°I know that you must be very angry in your heart, but even if it¡¯s for you, I Won¡¯t change my mind!¡± After saying that, Bennett raised her wrist to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes. Seeing his aunt cry, Simon couldn¡¯t bear it. He said to Bennett, ¡°Aunt, you¡¯re so good to me. Why would I blame you? Aren¡¯t we on our way home?¡± Although he said that, Simon had other plans in his head. It didn¡¯t matter if he stayed at her aunt¡¯s house for one or two days. When he found a stable job, he would have a good excuse to leave his aunt¡¯s house. Bennett didn¡¯t know what he was thinking. She just thought that Simon had agreed to stay at her home. Before the tears at the corner of her eyes had dried, she smiled. After thinking for a moment, she felt something off. She said, ¡°No, something not right. You must be planning some tricks! ¡°Do you want to run away? ¡°Your sister is waiting for you at home. They will find work for you. You just have to listen to our arrangements.¡± As she spoke, she angrily kissed Simon on the forehead and left him a crimson lip print. Simon helplessly echoed, ¡°Okay, I will listen to your arrangement.¡± Bennett looked at Simon¡¯s handsome face and suddenly had a plan. She smiled wickedly and said, ¡°People say that one should first get married before starting a career. You have finished reading your book. It¡¯s time to find a beautiful wife!¡± Simon¡¯s brow furrowed when he heard that. He whispered, ¡°I don¡¯t like arranged marriages.¡± Bennett did not hear what he said at all. She started to think about it. ¡°The Koch family¡¯s daughter is not bad. She¡¯s the school belle of Summer University. She¡¯s the same age as you. I¡¯ll arrange for you to meet her tomorrow! ¡°The George family¡¯s girl is pretty good too. I¡¯ve met her once. She¡¯s very cultured. I¡¯ll get her to come over tomorrow too. Take a look. ¡°Pritzker¡¯s sister may be a few years older than you, but she knows how to take care of people. I¡¯ll invite her too!¡± Simon¡¯s expression became darker the more he listened. They were all set for tomorrow. How was this a blind date? It was more like The Bachelor! However, this was something that Bennet was used to. Because of Bennet¡¯s wealth, which was one of the best in San Tico, people always were eager to marry their daughters into her family. They were afraid if they were one step slower, the opportunity would fall into someone else¡¯s hands! But Simon thought that this was immoral! He was just about to say something to stop Bennett from letting her imagination run wild when he saw the latter put her fingers together. She pursed his sexy red lips and said, ¡°How could I have forgotten about your sisters? ¡°You guys have known each other since you were young and have a foundation in relationships. Moreover, if you are married, aren¡¯t we even closer? I can always be by your side and take care of you!¡± She felt that this idea was simply wonderful! Simon almost cried when he heard that. He stuttered, ¡°Aunt, you know that I have always respected my five older sisters!¡± He secretly complained in his heart. Within a day, both his work and marriage were arranged by his aunt. Looking at the villa that was getting closer and closer, Simon knew that it was too late to jump out of the car now! Chapter 2 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Bennett was an incredible woman. After her husband died, she had to take care of her parents and five very young daughters all by herself. Despite all the difficulties, she made a name for herself in the business world, and at the same time, she had never neglected her daughters¡¯ education. Her five daughters had very different personalities, but they were all highly talented. Except for the eldest daughter, who had chosen to inherit her mother¡¯s company, the other four were doing very well in their respective fields. Simon had a vague impression of these five sisters. Every year during the New Year, the Bennet family would visit the Simon family. They would always bring big and small bags of gifts to fill Simon¡¯s small dormitory. They kept doing this for seven or eight years. But later on, as the sisters grew older and went abroad to further their studies, the number of people who came to visit Simon in the new year decreased year by year. Simon¡¯s impression of his five older sisters also gradually blurred. He only remembered that his eldest sister was called Jane. His second sister, Elizabeth, his third sister, Mary, his fourth sister, Catherine, and his fifth sister, Lydia. Because of their similar age, Simon and Lydia were closer, and occasionally they would chat about their lives online. As for his other sisters, Simon only had one impression: they were all beautiful. They had perfectly inherited Bennett¡¯s good looks, and they had also developed their own beauty on that basis. Simon often saw the pictures of the sisters sent by Lydia, exclaiming about the power of genes! Of course, except for being surprised by their beauty, he had never thought of anything else about his sisters, because he had always felt that this had little to do with him. Simon knew that if it weren¡¯t for the hematopoietic stem cells from many years ago, he might not have interacted with the rich and powerful in his lifetime. After all, the gap between them was as wide as a chasm! Simon was a very proud man, and he did not want people to laugh at him for being a gigolo. He had always thought that he could make a name for himself on his own. Unless he could reach the same height as Bennett, any help from Bennett would be like giving him a handout. Thinking of this, Simon couldn¡¯t help but feel a little depressed. It wasn¡¯t easy to be on par with Bennett. He had just graduated from college, and he might have to spend half of his life thinking about how to reject his aunt¡¯s help. Simon felt mentally exhausted. ¡°Simon, you don¡¯t look well. Are you feeling unwell or carsick?¡± Bennett asked with concern. Simon squeezed out a smile and thought to himself, ¡°It¡¯s just that your love is a little too much for me.¡± He smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, Aunt. I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°Great.¡± Bennett was relieved and continued, ¡°What do you think of Aunt¡¯s suggestion just now?¡± Simon was thinking about the future just now and completely did not pay attention to what Bennett said. He vaguely remembered the wedding ceremony and the guests and so on. Simon frowned. ¡°Is she already thinking about my wedding ceremony with her daughter?¡± thought Simon. With Bennett¡¯s hotheaded personality, it was not impossible. With his eyebrows frowning, he said, ¡°Aunt, an arranged marriage is immoral! It¡¯s not fair to the sisters either! ¡°Moreover, the five sisters are so outstanding. There must be so many people who are going for them. Maybe they already have someone they like. ¡°Don¡¯t get involved in my personal life. A man should put his career first!¡± Simon randomly came up with a few reasons. He thought that Bennett would be angry if he rejected her outright. He did not expect Bennett to have a bright smile on her face. She even reached out to pinch his cheeks. She said happily, ¡°My little Simon has grown up. He knows to think for his sisters. ¡°Your parents would be very happy if they know that you are so rational!¡± As she spoke, her eyes turned watery again. Bennett truly treated his parents as a family and always thought of them. Simon¡¯s heart softened, and he comforted her, ¡°Aunt, don¡¯t be sad. My mother said that you look the best when you smile.¡± ¡°Yeah, I won¡¯t cry.¡± Bennett wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes and smiled. ¡°You have grown up. I should be happy.¡± They finally got rid of the topic of marriage, and both of them recalled the past. Ten minutes later, the door of the villa slowly opened. The Ferrari turned around the fountain in the middle of the courtyard and pulled up at the door. The Bennet family¡¯s villa was located in the suburbs of San Tico, where every inch of land was very expensive. In this famous, wealthy district, the Bennet family¡¯s villa was as gorgeous as a castle. The surrounding small villas were as unlike the Bennet family¡¯s villa as a cottage was unlike a palace. ¡°Simon, we¡¯re home.¡± Bennet stopped the driver, turned to Simon, and personally opened the car door for him. Her fair hand was holding Simon¡¯s arm. Bennet pushed open the heavy door and smiled at him. ¡°Sisters have been waiting for you for a long time!¡± ¡°I feel sorry for keeping them waiting.¡± Simon smiled politely. He was a little nervous because the world inside the door was totally different from what he had known before. And that world was something that he hoped he could be a part of in the future. At this time, the door opened, and an orange figure suddenly threw her arms around Simon. ¡°Is the world of the rich so suffocating?¡± thought Simon. It happened so suddenly that Simon had no idea about what was going on. He only felt a soft touch on his chest, and a sweet smell rushed straight to his nose. A cheerful voice sounded in his ear, ¡°Welcome home, Simon!¡± The cute voice had an infectious sense of happiness. Who else could it be but his fifth sister, Lydia. Simon tried his best to ignore the soft touch on his chest and said shyly, ¡°Hello, elder sister.¡± Lydia wrapped her arms around Simon¡¯s neck and pouted, ¡°You¡¯re so annoying. Why did you have to call me elder sister? It sounds like I¡¯m an old lady. Just call me Lydia! ¡°Wait, are you being embarrassed? We haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time, and I didn¡¯t expect you to become shy. Why is your face red?¡± ¡°It¡¯s all because of you keeping rubbing me!¡± thought Simon. ¡°I don¡¯t mind you saying hello to me, but why did you have to hug me so tight while jumping crazily? Gosh, I can¡¯t stand it. Lydia, you¡¯re too forward.¡± Just as he was thinking of how to get Lydia off his body, a slender hand grabbed Lydia by the back of her collar. Lydia was lifted aside like a chick was lifted by a farmer. ¡°Lydia, Simon is going to be suffocated by you!¡± The person who spoke was domineering and beautiful. Her eyebrows were straight to the temples. She had an air of queen! Her vibes were practically the same as Bennett¡¯s. This person must be big sister Jane. Simon politely greeted her, ¡°Hello, big sister.¡± Jane smiled and asked the two of them to enter the house. ¡°Mom, Simon, I was going to send someone to pick you up.¡± As they spoke, two girls came down the stairs side by side. ¡°Jane always thinks too much.¡± One of the girls with messy hair said, ¡°I saw you bustling around the house so long.¡± Jane glanced at her and mocked, ¡°Catherine, tidy up your hair before you say that.¡± Jane¡¯s words seemed to touch Catherine¡¯s sore spot. As Catherine combed her hair with her hands, she said aggrievedly, ¡°When I heard that Simon would come home, I rushed back from the lab in a hurry. How would I have time to tidy up? Jane, don¡¯t make fun of me!¡± The girl standing next to her saw the two of them bickering and covered her mouth to laugh gently. She reached out her hand to Simon and said, ¡°Simon, I hope you forgive your third sister for her untidy appearance. Do you still remember me?¡± Simon shook hands with her and called shyly, ¡°Hello, second sister.¡± Four gorgeous beauties appeared in the room at the same time. Simon did not know who he should turn his gaze to, but he felt his heart skip a beat. Bennet, who was at the side, saw Simon¡¯s embarrassed expression and could not help but laugh. ¡°The most beautiful third sister has gone to the film festival. She won¡¯t be back in time. ¡°When she comes back, you can see who you like the most! Aunt will arrange a wedding for you!¡± ¡°Huh? I thought we had agreed not to mention this matter anymore?¡± Simon¡¯s shoulders collapsed. He felt this is such a weird and comic situation.. Chapter 3 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In the living room. Simon held the teacup with both hands and took a sip of the tea. There were five people sitting in the living room and staring at him. Simon was trying to calm down as he drank the tea. Any man would be nervous in front of a group of beautiful women, and Simon was no exception. Lydia saw him drinking the tea and said in surprise, ¡°Simon drank the tea. I told you guys that he would like Ceylion black tea.¡± Ah? Simon pricked up his ears. Wasn¡¯t Ceylion black tea the one that was reported on the news? It was said to be very difficult to find. As Simon hears, a mysterious buyer paid 300,000 dollars a gram for the top-quality Ceylion black tea in an auction. It turned out that the mysterious buyer was Bennett. She was indeed very rich. Simon took another sip of the tea. He could even smell the money in it. ¡°Simon, there are no strangers in the house today, and you¡¯ve seen my daughters before. Therefore, you don¡¯t need to feel shy.¡± Bennett saw him holding the teacup with both hands and thought that he was shy. In fact, only Simon himself knew that he was just afraid of spilling the tea. Jane pushed the delicate confections in front of him and said, ¡°Simon, don¡¯t just drink tea. Eat something.¡± Elizabeth continued, ¡°Yeah. You didn¡¯t have the time to come here because you had to study. Now we¡¯re going to live under the same roof. Make yourself feel at home.¡± Catherine held Lydia¡¯s hand, whispered in her ear, and looked at Simon from time to time. Everyone¡¯s attention was focused on Simon, which made him feel very stressed. He could only keep drinking the tea. Seeing Simon¡¯s nervous expression, Bennett could not help but feel a little worried. Bennett was afraid that Simon would be nervous in front of strangers, so she gave all the servants in the villa a day off and only kept her daughters around. Could it be because Mary did not come back? Bennett shook her head and thought, ¡°Simon is not such a narrow-minded person.¡± What was the reason then? Bennett scratched her head and could not think of the reason. Jane saw that Bennett was shaking her head in pain and thought it was because of her pathology. Jane said worriedly, ¡°Mom, are you okay?¡± ¡°Ah? Well, I¡¯m not feeling well.¡± Bennett put her hand on her forehead. ¡°I want to go back to my room and lie down for a while. Lydia, take Simon to his room.¡± Then, Bennett winked at Lydia. Lydia instantly understood that Bennett wanted her to get Simon to open up. After all, Lydia was closest to Simon. Lydia immediately nodded and said to Simon, ¡°Simon, your room is upstairs. Let¡¯s go up.¡± Simon had a blank look on his face. Why was Bennett winking at Lydia since she was not feeling well? Simon never heard that myeloma would have effects on the nervous system. He looked at Bennett worriedly and saw that she looked energetic with a red face. It seemed that Bennett was fine. Simon followed Lydia upstairs. Right after Simon left the living room, Bennett put her hand down and said sadly, ¡°I should have brought Simon here more often when he was in school. In that case, we wouldn¡¯t be so distant now.¡± Jane, Elizabeth, and Catherine understood what their mother meant and nodded in agreement. Jane said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, mom. I will treat Simon as my brother.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Elizabeth continued, ¡°Simon saved you, so we will definitely be nice to him.¡± Catherine agreed, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry. Ever since we met Simon, we have been treating him as a part of our family.¡± Their voices were not loud, but Simon could hear them clearly as the villa was quiet. Simon felt very warm. Lydia took him to the room on the third floor and said to him, ¡°Our rooms are all on the second floor. If you need anything, just call out to us.¡± ¡°Thank you, Lydia.¡± Simon smiled. It was the first time Lydia saw his true laugh since he entered the villa. She happily put her arm around his shoulder and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to thank me. You¡¯re just like my brother.¡± Then, she lifted her chin and pointed at the few boxes in the corner. ¡°Your luggage is there in the corner. Jane said that we could not touch it without your permission, so I just left it there. What¡¯s in the boxes?¡± Simon looked at the boxes. The bodyguards brought all his stuff to the villa. If Simon wanted to leave the villa secretly, he might have to go with nothing. Simon shook his head helplessly, walked over to the corner, and opened one of the boxes. He took out a book from the box and said to Lydia, ¡°Mostly clothes and study materials. There¡¯s nothing special in the boxes.¡± Simon took out a few more books and casually placed them on the table. Suddenly, he felt a kind of electric charge surge through his brain. ¡°Ding! You placed your personal items in this place and successfully marked your territory. Now you are tied to Supplier System. ¡°You can give certain people a system. ¡°Each person can check in twice a day in the system to get treasure boxes. ¡°When the recipient of the system obtains a treasure box, you can get a skill. ¡°The quality of the treasure box will vary depending on the situation.¡± What? After living three years as a poor university student, Simon finally got his lucky break. This was awesome! Simon was overjoyed. He could not help but curl up the corners of his mouth. Lydia blinked her bright eyes and asked in puzzlement, ¡°Simon, why are you grinning stupidly?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Simon hesitated for a while and said, ¡°Well, I¡¯m just happy that you guys are so good to me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m glad that you think so. You have a good rest and I¡¯ll call you when dinner is ready.¡± Seeing that he was in a good mood, Lydia took the books in Simon¡¯s hand and placed them on the table. Then, she sat him down on the bed. ¡°You can pack your things tomorrow. What you need to do now is have a good rest.¡± After saying that, Lydia winked at him and closed the door in satisfaction. She could not wait to go down and report to Bennett. Hearing that Lydia¡¯s footsteps died away, Simon was so excited that he immediately called out to the system. ¡°How do I give others systems?¡± ¡°You can tailor-make the system according to the characteristics of the recipient. ¡°Every time when the recipient signs in, you can get a small treasure box. ¡°Ding! You have signed in. You get 1,700 dollars from the treasure box.¡± Simon didn¡¯t know that he could get money simply by signing in. This was awesome! Simon was ecstatic. Although 1,700 dollars was not much, it was still something for a graduate who had no savings. Besides, according to the system notice, he could customize systems for others. When others signed in, he would get something. So he became a system dealer. It was terrific! Simon was so excited. He lay on the soft velvet blanket and clenched his fists. Simon already knew who he was going to give systems to. He believed he should give systems to people who deserved them, like Bennett¡¯s five excellent daughters.. Chapter 4 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Simon immediately thought of Bennett¡¯s five daughters who had different styles. He saw a photo of Bennett and her five daughters by the bedside. Bennett probably put it there to let him feel closer to them. Simon carefully looked at the people in the photo. Bennet briefly introduced her five daughters to him previously. Jane looked smart and cool. She was Bennet¡¯s successor as well as the second-generation leader of their family business. In Simon¡¯s opinion, Jane was an aggressive woman. Elizabeth was a gentle and lovely psychiatrist. Her patients were celebrities from all walks of life, so she knew many people. As for Mary, Simon had not officially met her yet, but he heard that she was a popular actress who usually made headlines in tabloids. Catherine looked sketchy the first time Simon met her. However, he knew that she had a pretty face. Catherine was a genius in scientific research and she was currently doing a big project at Oxferd University. And Lydia was a cute live streamer. Recalling Lydia¡¯s resume, Simon was suddenly stunned. Lydia was quite different from her four excellent sisters. Although it was harsh to say this, Lydia was too ordinary compared to Bennett¡¯s other daughters. It was not that Lydia was plain looking, but that she was not as extraordinary as her four sisters. Simon hesitated for two seconds and remembered something. When Lydia smiled, her dimples and buckteeth would appear. Simon thought it was very cute. He immediately decided that he would like to give a system to Lydia first. Not only because Lydia was too plain, but also because she was closest to him. Bennett would definitely ask Lydia to make more contact with him. Most importantly, Lydia looked silly. Therefore, it should be easier for her to accept new things. Simon slapped his thigh and said decisively, ¡°I¡¯ll pick Lydia then.¡± ¡°What?¡± A sweet voice reached Simon¡¯s ear, and the door suddenly opened. Lydia, who was supposed to be downstairs, appeared at the door again. It seemed like she was eavesdropping just now. Simon didn¡¯t know what to say. He was glad that he did not say anything strange in the room. ¡°Ding! Lydia has entered your private territory and successfully signed in. You get a reward of 1,700 dollars. ¡°The reward varies depending on how long Lydia is going to stay in your room.¡± Simon didn¡¯t know that he could get a reward just because Lydia entered his room. In just a few minutes, he already got 3,400 dollars. Simon tried hard to hold back his excitement and asked Lydia calmly, ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Lydia touched her hair embarrassedly, ¡°I¡¯m just here to ask if you feel cold.¡± Simon turned around to look out of the window. The sun was high and hot, and he could feel the heat even inside the room. Lydia¡¯s excuse was not convincing at all, and it also confirmed Simon¡¯s idea. Lydia was nothing but a little fool. Seeing that Simon did not respond for a long time, Lydia finally realized how stupid she was. She gave a short laugh and said, ¡°I guess you¡¯re not cold. ¡°Hahaha! All right. I¡¯ll leave you alone. Dinner will be ready in a while. You have a good rest.¡± Just as Lydia was about to step out of the room, a siren went off in Simon¡¯s head. ¡°Warning! Lydia stayed in the room for less than a minute. Your reward of 1,700 dollars will be withdrawn. ¡°Lydia stayed in the room for less than a minute. Your reward of 1,700 dollars will be withdrawn.¡± What? Simon didn¡¯t know that the reward could be withdrawn. He immediately stood up from the bed and shouted, ¡°Lydia, wait a second.¡± Lydia looked at him in confusion. She walked in with a red face and pouted, ¡°All right. You can laugh if you want to.¡± Simon was slightly relieved. Fortunately, his reward of 1,700 dollars was not withdrawn. Lydia lowered her head and did not hear Simon¡¯s response for a long time. She thought that he was trying to hold back his laughter. She put her hands on her hips and said angrily, ¡°Why don¡¯t you laugh?¡± Lydia had a chubby face. When she was angry, she would raise her eyebrows. In Simon¡¯s eyes, she looked very cute at the moment. Simon waved his hand and smiled. ¡°You were just concerned about me. Why would I laugh at you? Actually, I want to talk to you about something.¡± Hearing Simon¡¯s response, Lydia immediately cheered up. She sat next to Simon with a smile and blinked her beautiful eyes. ¡°What do you want to talk about?¡± ¡°I just graduated and I¡¯m very confused about my future career. I want to listen to your opinion.¡± Lydia was very happy to hear that. She lifted her seemingly big breasts and said proudly, ¡°I see. ¡°Tomorrow, I¡¯ll ask Jane to let you work in her company. She will show you how it¡¯s done. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that.¡± Lydia only worked for two years. She could understand Simon¡¯s confusion as a new graduate. After Simon opened up to Lydia, the relationship between the two of them unknowingly became much closer. Simon hesitated for a moment. What Lydia mentioned was exactly what Simon was trying to avoid. Fortunately, with the support of the system, he had a choice. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go to Jane¡¯s company,¡± Simon said straightforwardly. ¡°Why?¡± Lydia looked puzzled. ¡°With Jane covering for you, no one in the company will dare to bully you.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you go to Jane¡¯s company then?¡± Simon seized the opportunity to ask. Lydia¡¯s lips curled and she raised her proud head. ¡°We already have two strong women in our family, so I can chase my dream. ¡°I want to be a female live streamer with millions of fans and spread happiness.¡± Simon nodded in agreement. Lydia seemed to be greatly encouraged, She grabbed Simon¡¯s hands and leaned forward to get close to him. ¡°My sisters always say that I¡¯m just fooling around. You¡¯re the first person to support me. ¡°Simon, why didn¡¯t you come earlier?¡± The two of them were extremely close. Simon could even feel Lydia¡¯s breath when she spoke, and she smelled like gardenia. Simon lowered his head and saw something under Lydia¡¯s clothes. It seemed that her breasts were not as big as they appeared to be. Simon was disappointed when he saw Lydia¡¯s falsies. He asked without batting an eyelid, ¡°What do you live stream?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Lydia blinked innocently and stuck out her tongue. ¡°I haven¡¯t decided yet.¡± She patted her chest in disappointment and said, ¡°I tried cooking, and people said that I was not in good shape. ¡°I tried commenting on different stores, and people said that I was not in good shape. ¡°I tried playing games, and people said that I was not in good shape. ¡°I don¡¯t understand. Why does everything have to do with my figure? ¡°That¡¯s why I haven¡¯t decided what to live stream yet.¡± Seeing her grumbling, Simon gritted his teeth to not laugh out loud. Lydia¡¯s figure was actually good. She had a narrow waist and long legs, and her skin was white. When she walked on the street, a lot of people would look at her. Unfortunately, Lydia had four sisters with very hot bodies, and their legs seemed extremely long through filters. Compared to them, Lydia indeed looked quite ordinary. No wonder she could not succeed in her live streaming business. Simon muttered inwardly, ¡°I would like to give Lydia a system.¡± ¡°Copy that..¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Target has been locked in your private territory. Lydia is now tied to a system. Please activate the system.¡± ¡°Activate?¡± Simon was puzzled. ¡°What do I need to do?¡± ¡°You need to determine the type of the system and assign a task to Lydia. ¡°After Lydia completes the task, you and she will both get treasure boxes as a reward. ¡°You can assign ten tasks to the recipient of the system every day.¡± Simon got it. In short, he became Lydia¡¯s system now, and he would be the one to assign tasks to Lydia. After Lydia completed the tasks, both of them would get treasure boxes as a reward. ¡°Lydia, I¡¯m going to the bathroom.¡± Simon made an excuse to hide in the bathroom. He wanted to give Lydia some space. After going into the bathroom, Simon curled up the corners of his mouth and immediately assigned a task to her. ¡°Ding! Your identity has been verified. You are now successfully tied to a system. The system is being activated. ¡°The system has been activated. Congratulations! You are now successfully tied to the system. As long as you can complete the tasks assigned by the system, you will get treasure boxes.¡± Lydia was slightly startled. Who was speaking to her? She looked around the room and realized that no one was talking to her. The bathroom was very soundproof, so it should not be Simon¡¯s voice. Suddenly, Lydia¡¯s eyes lit up. The word ¡°system¡± sounded a little familiar to her. Wasn¡¯t it something that often appeared in novels and TV series? In those novels and TV series, the female lead would magically get a system. Then, she got to punch bad guys, slap b*itches in the face, and reach her peak. Lydia thought she was finally discovered and she would reach her peak soon. Lydia pinched her thigh hard. A sharp pain shot through her, which made her grimace. Lydia thought to herself, ¡°Oh my! I finally got my lucky break.¡± After she was tied to the system, Simon could hear her interesting internal monologue very clearly. He spoke up, ¡°Hi, I¡¯m your system.¡± Lydia was shocked when she heard the system¡¯s response. She could not help but exclaim, ¡°Wow! Has the system become so smart now? ¡°Can you make me a super suit? I want to go and fight criminals. And don¡¯t forget to add falsies.¡± Simon pursed his lips bitterly. Even if it was a great dream, Lydia could still not forget about the shortcomings in her figure. In a sense, she was quite persistent. ¡°I do not provide this kind of service.¡± ¡°What can you do then?¡± Lydia opened her mouth and asked. ¡°I am called Live Streamer System. I can help you get more fans and use your popularity to exchange for items. ¡°Every time you complete a task, you will get treasure boxes as a reward. ¡°Your first task is to get 100,000 followers. When you complete the task, you will get treasure boxes as a reward.¡± When Lydia heard that, her eyes lit up. Then, she excitedly rubbed her hands and said, ¡°What¡¯s in the treasure boxes? Is there some secret magic?¡± Simon really did not know what to say. It seemed that Lydia watched a lot of TV series. Simon had no idea what on earth she was thinking about. ¡°I have to say that I can¡¯t change the world. ¡°The service I can provide mainly works on you. I¡¯m able to modify you and make you a better person.¡± ¡°I think I¡¯m pretty perfect,¡± Lydia said proudly. One of her firm beliefs was that women were not allowed to expose their flaws in front of others. However, Simon pretty much knew all Lydia¡¯s flaws. ¡°Well, if you don¡¯t need me, I will¡­¡± ¡°No!¡± Lydia gave in, ¡°Can you make my breasts bigger?¡± ¡°As long as you complete the task, I¡¯ll give everything you want, including bigger breasts.¡± Lydia nodded, ¡°Okay! What should I do next?¡± ¡°After dinner, you need to go to Simon¡¯s room to help him unpack his things and think of what to live stream.¡± ¡°Why do I have to do it after dinner?¡± Lydia asked suspiciously, ¡°And how do you know about Simon?¡± ¡°I¡¯m omnipotent.¡± Simon bluffed. By letting Lydia help him unpack his things, he could let her stay in his room for a while longer, and there would be more rewards for him. As for why Simon asked Lydia to do it after dinner, it was because the bathroom was very stuffy in summer. He just wanted to end the conversation quickly and get out of the bathroom. ¡°All right,¡± Lydia agreed. After getting her answer, Simon ended the conversation and wrung his wet T-shirt. His sweat dropped to the ground. It was like a sauna in there. Simon opened the bathroom door and saw Lydia spinning excitedly in the room. When she saw him coming out, her beautiful eyes sparkled. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Simon opened the door, and Catherine was shocked to see his forehead covered in sweat. Then, Catherine said with anger, ¡°Lydia, I asked you to take good care of Simon. Why is he sweating profusely?¡± Lydia was still basked in the joy of getting the system. After being reminded by Catherine, Lydia realized that Simon was sweating. Lydia was amazed as well. ¡°Why are you so sweaty?¡± ¡°It was a little hot in the bathroom,¡± Simon said helplessly. Then, Catherine asked Lydia to find Simon clean pajamas from the wardrobe, and the pajamas were exactly Simon¡¯s size. After that, Catherine urged him to go to the bathroom to take a shower. ¡°It¡¯s easy to catch a cold if you wear wet clothes. Hurry up and take a shower. ¡°I¡¯ll ask someone to install an air conditioner in your toilet tomorrow. ¡°Come down after you¡¯re done. Dinner is ready.¡± After saying that, Catherine turned around and left with a smile. Simon looked down at himself and saw that his shorts were soaking wet. It was true that he should wash them. Just as he was about to enter the bathroom, his arm was pulled by Lydia. She whispered to Simon, ¡°Don¡¯t let my sisters touch your luggage. ¡°I¡¯ll help you unpack after dinner.¡± Simon pretended to be confused, ¡°You don¡¯t have to do this. I can unpack by myself.¡± ¡°No!¡± Lydia teased, ¡°Let me help you unpack, please.¡± Then, Lydia pushed Simon into the bathroom, not giving him a chance to refuse. ¡°Do remember what I said.¡± She repeated it before she went downstairs. She was still thinking about what the system promised her. The system would make her breasts bigger as long as she helped unpack Simon¡¯s things. And she didn¡¯t need to have an injection, take medicine, or receive surgery. To Lydia, it just sounded too good to be true. But at the same time, she was in a dilemma. What should she live stream? She tried everything she could. However, her live streaming always ended up being ridiculed by the audience. The system asked her to get 100,000 fans. Lydia was depressed. She had been live streaming for two years, but she only had about 20,000 fans. If Lydia wanted to have more fans in a short period of time, she would have to work in the grey. After all, there were so many female live streamers on the internet who had a bunch of fans no matter how bad they were at performing. After a moment, Lydia shook her head and rejected this idea. Her family was prestigious in San Tico. If Lydia dared to work in the grey, Jane would shut down her Internet and send her into the mountains. While Lydia was distressed, her sisters who were sitting neatly at the dining table attracted her attention. All of a sudden, Lydia had an idea. She knew what to live stream now.. Chapter 6 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In the dining room. Simon came downstairs after taking a shower. Bennett and his four daughters had been waiting at the dining table for a long time. Although the family¡¯s personal chef was on vacation, the dishes on the table were still very sumptuous. There were five dishes for meat lovers and four dishes for vegetarians. There were also two pots of steaming thick soup and a plate of exquisite desserts. When Bennett saw Simon, she pulled him to sit beside her and asked him a few questions about why he was sweating. When she heard that he just felt hot and was not sick, she finally felt relieved. Then, she gave her eldest daughter a glance. Jane understood her mother¡¯s intention and nodded in response. Then, she cleared her throat and acted like a big sister. She raised her eyes and looked at the crowd. ¡°I announce that starting from tonight¡¯s dinner, our big family will welcome a new member, young brother Simon!¡± Simon stood up. He bowed to his aunt and four sisters one by one. ¡°It¡¯s my honor to be able to become family with all of you. I may cause you guys some trouble, please bear with me.¡± Bennett pulled Simon to sit down and smiled. ¡°Simon, sit down. We¡¯re all a family. There¡¯s no need to be so polite.¡± Simon replied with a bright smile, ¡°I see, Aunt.¡± Jane continued, ¡°Simon, since I am your elder sister, I hope you will not treat me as a stranger when it comes to your work. ¡°You studied science and engineering at university. I guess you have no idea about our Hilton Group.¡± Simon nodded. He only knew a little about the Bennett family¡¯s company. The Hilton Group was named after Bennet¡¯s great-grandmother. She was a genius in business and had developed a world of her own in the shopping malls that were dominated by men at that time. After two or three generations of hard work, the Hilton Group had already covered many fields such as real estate, entertainment, transportation, finance, and so on. They were often the bellwethers of the industry. Whatever industry they invested in, it would become a lucrative industry! At this point, Jane raised her head proudly. ¡°Simon, I took over the group from my mother two years ago, and now I¡¯m the CEO of the company. ¡°To be honest, such a big family business is still a little too much for me to carry alone. I¡¯ve always hoped to have a reliable family member to help me. ¡°You know that your four sisters have their own pursuit¡­¡± Jane¡¯s eyes subconsciously glanced at Lydia, her eyes filled with reproach. Lydia tactfully shrank her neck, not daring to say a word. Jane continued to say to Simon, ¡°In short, I¡¯m very happy and looking forward to you joining us! ¡°I believe that we, as siblings, will definitely be able to¡­¡± Before she could finish, Simon raised his hand to interrupt her generous speech. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Big Sister. I may have to disappoint you. ¡°I hope to rely on my own strength to create my own business, and not rely on my family to take an easy way out!¡± Jane was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly said, ¡°Simon, we are now a family. What is ours is yours!¡± ¡°Really, you don¡¯t have to think that you will cause us trouble. I¡¯ve seen your transcript. It¡¯s very impressive! ¡°What you need now is a platform to accumulate experience, and we¡¯re only providing you with a stage to show yourself. ¡°You don¡¯t have to feel pressured.¡± Her gentle voice sounded very tempting. What she meant was that Simon would learn from her to manage the company, and in the future, I¡¯ll have my own share in the company. But this went against Simon¡¯s original intention. He could listen to the Bennett family¡¯s arrangements for everything except for his work! ¡°I¡¯m sorry, big sister, I can¡¯t accept your arrangement!¡± Simon said firmly. He looked straight into Jane¡¯s eyes and said seriously, ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have let you and Aunt down. ¡°But I hope that you will listen to my opinion on this matter. ¡°I¡¯m young and inexperienced. There are still many things that I need to learn. ¡°I¡¯m used to challenging difficult jobs and not living under others¡¯ protection ¡°I also hope to use my own hands to create a better life for my family, which means you guys!¡± Simon told them what he was thinking. Others might think that he was a little arrogant. After all, the Hilton Group was the work of several generations, and Simon wanted to create a considerable amount of wealth on his own. He was really boasting shamelessly! But Bennet was very happy. A good man should aim for the stars! She immediately slapped the table. ¡°Good boy, you have ambition! Aunt supports you!¡± ¡°I support Simon Too!¡± ¡°Me Too! That¡¯s the spirit!¡± ¡°Go ahead, we¡¯ll back you up!¡± Not only was her mother convinced by him, but even her three younger sisters also raised their hands in support. Jane had got to hand it to him. She smiled with relief and said, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll respect your choice, Simon.¡± Simon nodded gratefully at her. It was the first time Catherine had seen her elder sister¡¯s overbearing attitude being overpowered by someone other than her mother. In her heart, she had developed an admiration for her brother, who was both familiar and unfamiliar. One had to know that for the new graduates, the Hilton Group was the perfect gateway to climbing the social ladder. Many people worked their heads off in order to be hired by the Hilton Group. Such a big temptation was rejected by Simon with just a few words! She started to look forward to seeing more of this younger brother. At this moment, Jane took out another card and handed it to Simon. Simon¡¯s hands did not move. He asked in puzzlement, ¡°Big sister, what are you doing?¡± Jane explained, ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand me, Simon. This is your pocket money. Your fifth sister also has it. ¡°To my eyes, all families who haven¡¯t started working are children, and children need pocket money. It¡¯s not much. It¡¯s just 100,000 dollars. ¡°If you need money to start a business, you can tell me alone.¡± Simon quickly stood up, pushed the card back, and said, ¡°No, no, I can¡¯t take this money!¡± Lydia, who was sitting opposite him, pushed him back on the stool and said unhappily, ¡°Come on, don¡¯t be difficult. ¡°Do you think you can start a company without any money? Are you really going to start from scratch? ¡°If you don¡¯t take this money, you have to work at the big sister company!¡± Jane nodded in agreement. ¡°Simon, I can do whatever you want with the work, but you have to take the money.¡± ¡°I¡¯d given it to your second and third sister before, so I can¡¯t only skip you.¡± Ever since she took control of the company, Jane had always been an overbearing woman of her word, but now her tone sounded not so dictatorial anymore. Hearing this, her sisters felt like the sun was about to rise from the west. They switched sides and joined her sister¡¯s side. Together, they persuaded Simon to accept the card. The four of them worked together trying to convince Simon. Bennett also played along with them secretly. Simon really had no reason to refuse. He could only resign himself to taking the card and said, ¡°I see. Thank you, Big Sister.¡± Actually, Simon already had the system and was not short of money. Even if he accepted the card, it would only be left in the drawer idly. However, when the others saw that Simon accepted the card, they all laughed happily. ¡°Since everything is settled, let¡¯s eat,¡± Elizabeth said with a smile. At this moment, Lydia, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly stood up from the stool and said to the crowd, ¡°Wait a moment! I have something to announce, something big!¡± Chapter 7 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Lydia¡¯s so-called ¡°something big¡± aroused everyone¡¯s curiosity. They all stopped cutting the steak and turned around to look at her seriously. Lydia smiled mysteriously. She held the phone in her left hand and the phone holder in her right hand. She placed them on the other side of the dining table. The live stream interface on the screen recorded the scene of the family eating. The bullet comments that were originally rolling slowly sped up the moment the sisters entered the screen. ¡°Beautiful ladies, do I have the honor to have dinner with you?¡± ¡°Eh? I think I¡¯ve seen that beautiful lady in the middle somewhere before!¡± ¡°Has the streamer changed her style again? Her family seems to be very rich.¡± The reaction was mixed, but it brought popularity to Lydia¡¯s live stream room! As the eldest sister, Jane naturally knew her younger sister¡¯s personality the best. Seeing that Lydia had openly started a live stream at home, she frowned slightly and said angrily, ¡°Lydia, cut it out!¡± ¡°I have nothing against you being a streamer, but how can you live stream our dining!¡± Jane really could not understand Lydia¡¯s mindset. They were both born from the same mother, so how could the difference be so huge! Lydia did not mind. She proudly shook her head and said, ¡°Big sister, don¡¯t be so rigid. This is called a life vlog. It¡¯s super popular now!¡± ¡°Lydia!¡± Jane raised her voice. Hearing Jane¡¯s intimidating voice, Lydia hung her head listlessly like a frosted eggplant. She unwillingly turned off her phone and sat back in her seat. Jane widened her beautiful eyes, thinking that she really should not have expected anything great from Lydia, she lectured, ¡°You¡¯re also an elder sister. Can you set a good example for your younger brother? ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of being laughed at by Simon?¡± ¡°Okay¡­¡± Lydia answered weakly, burying her head in the plate of spaghetti. After subduing the restless fifth sister, Jane turned her head to Simon and said, ¡°Simon is the most sensible one. He knows how to be considerate to his older sister.¡± Simon, who was named, smiled embarrassedly and looked at Lydia sympathetically. He suddenly understood the reason why Lydia¡¯s live stream failed. It was because she did not understand the difference between live stream and surveillance. Without planning, without design, without even informing people who were videoed, she suddenly set up the camera. The only difference between this kind of behavior and secretly taking pictures was that secretly taking pictures requires more intelligence. Simon could not help but worry for himself in his heart. It seemed that he had unintentionally given Lydia a mission that was too difficult to complete. Wouldn¡¯t that mean that his System Treasure Chest would also go down the drain? ¡°Was it difficult to have 100,000 fans?¡± wondered Simmon. In short, this meal may seem very enjoyable, but Simon was preoccupied with worries and did not pay any attention to what he ate. When everyone was almost done eating, Simon stood up to clear the dishes, but Lydia snatched them away. Lydia had already recovered from the failure of the live stream. She waved her hand in a domineering manner and said, ¡°Go back to your room. Leave this to the housekeeper!¡± Jane, who was at the side, picked up her teacup and said, ¡°The housekeeper took a day off today. ¡°Since you¡¯re so enthusiastic, I¡¯ll leave the dishes to you.¡± ¡°All right, no problem!¡± Lydia patted her chest and swiftly put the dishes into the kitchen. Bennett pulled Simon and covered her mouth as she laughed, ¡°Lydia is usually very lazy. It¡¯s rare for her to wash dishes. ¡°It must be because you¡¯re here, so she wants to impress you.¡± The other sisters were also curious about Lydia¡¯s change and sat at the dining table to discuss it. In the end, they all agreed that it was because of Simmon. Simmon was definitely a good influence. But only Simon detected the truth. The phone used for live stream on the dining table was gone! The kitchen and dining room were separated by a small bar. Lydia hid the phone in the corner and was live streaming the conversation between her mother and her sisters. Simon had noticed Lydia¡¯s intention and walked out of the picture. It was not that he did not want to remind them, but Simon knew that if Jane knew that Lydia was secretly filming them, she would immediately cut off Lydia¡¯s live streaming career and have her report to the group tomorrow. He did not want to see Lydia look so sad. Simon simply walked to the kitchen and used a tissue to block the live broadcast camera while he was pouring water. Then, he found an excuse and went back to his room. By the time Lydia finished washing the dishes, the sisters had already dispersed. She excitedly looked back at the comments and realized that not only did her fans not increase, but they had actually decreased. ¡°Beautiful women are very eye-catching, but they keep talking about Simon. It¡¯s too boring.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the difference between a beauty who can¡¯t interact and a poster? Brothers, let¡¯s go to the dance section.¡± ¡°The second half of the video screen is black. There¡¯s only sound but no pictures. By the way, who is Simon?¡± The merciless ridicule continuously dampened Lydia¡¯s enthusiasm. She touched her chest, and the silicone breast pad was hard. She felt so frustrated. No matter what, they were all born from the same mother. Her sisters were all above C, and her elder sister had even reached D! Only she was a B that was better than nothing. It was unfair! However, two minutes later, she quickly pulled herself together! Rome was not built in a day, and the accumulation of fans would not be achieved overnight! This was also one of Lydia¡¯s few advantages. She could pull herself together quickly! The most important thing now was to help Simon unpack his luggage in his room and complete the small mission that the system had given her. Thinking of this, Lydia clenched her fists and ran up to the third floor in excitement. Knowing that Lydia was going to open the door, Simon deliberately did not close the door. Lydia forgot to knock on the door. She violently pushed open the door and barged in. ¡°Simon, big sister is here. How are the luggage?¡±Lydia greeted him amiably. Simon pointed to the corner and said, ¡°They are all for your sister.¡± ¡°Good brother!¡± Lydia habitually leaned her hand on the table, rolled up her sleeves, opened the cardboard box and started to unpack. [ Ding! Lydia has successfully clocked in. Host has received a small treasure chest! ] The system notification sounded in Simon¡¯s head, and his eyebrows twitched. However, he was not in a hurry to receive it. According to the system notification, the punching time ranged from 1 minute to 24 hours. The last time Lydia stayed in the room for a full minute, he received a reward of 10,000 dollars. What if it was 10 minutes or 20 minutes! The treasure chest should magnify with time. Now Lydia was helping him clean the room. He needed to use this chance to confirm his theory. However, Simon did not intend to use Lydia as a servant. He looked at her squatting on the ground and working hard. He felt bad and squatted down. ¡°Lydia, I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± Seeing Simon pick up the learning materials on the ground, Lydia was like a cat that had its dried fish taken away. She leaned on him in a cutesy manner. ¡°Brother, do you not trust me? ¡°Although I¡¯m clumsy, I can still clean things up easily. Give me a chance to take care of you!¡± Her voice was as sweet as honey under the sun. Ever since he entered the house, everyone was so serious with him. Now Lydia suddenly talking to him in a cute voice struck him dumb. Simon stood up as if he got a shock and looked at Lydia, who had a triumphant smile on her face. He sat back down on the edge of the bed. Just then, he saw the cell phone on the table.. The bullet comments were rolling like crazy! Chapter 8 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Lydia had been live streaming since the time she secretly took the photo, and she did not turn it off when she entered Simon¡¯s room. The camera happened to focus on a pile of luggage in the corner, live streaming the entire interaction between Simon and Lydia. This included Lydia eagerly helping Simon unpack his things, as well as her sweet and cutesy manners. It was unknown when it started, but the live stream room was filled with netizens. The originally unpopular live stream channel now had a huge audience at this moment! ¡°Is he the Simon that the beauties are talking about? He¡¯s so handsome!¡± ¡°When she¡¯s being cutesy with him, she¡¯s so charming! I totally fell for her!¡± ¡°A live stream of siblings in love. Do I deserve to watch this?¡± ¡°Taking the initiative to go to his brother¡¯s room to tidy up his room, a man and a woman in the same room together. I seem to have seen this scene somewhere before!¡± ¡°Please, guys, watch your manners!¡± The crazily scrolling bullet comments spread the enthusiasm of the netizens. Simon was delighted and secretly thought that Lydia¡¯s finally turned the corner. He pretended not to care and said, ¡°Lydia, your phone screen keeps flashing. Is It broken?¡± The phone was Lydia¡¯s treasure. She had specially bought a high-end phone which was suitable for live streaming. Hearing Simon¡¯s reminder, she immediately put down the things in her hands and held the phone to check. Then, Lydia stared at the screen with her eyes wide open in disbelief. Was she dreaming? When did the channel become so popular? There were even new audiences who kept coming in! Every audience in the channel was extremely curious. ¡°They are so close as siblings. My sister and I fight all day long. I really want to be the younger brother of the streamer!¡± ¡°They have one younger brother and four elder sisters. He must have done something really great last life to deserve all this!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen this familiar plot in a certain sort of anime!¡± ¡°Watch Your Manners!¡± ¡°Streamer, don¡¯t block the camera. Go back and tidy up your stuff!¡± Lydia never dreamed that one day, she would be urged to live stream by the audience. Seeing the number of fans crazily rising in the upper right corner of the screen, her heart was as happy as fireworks in the sky. There was an old saying, ¡°Something good always happens unexpectedly.¡± She had spent two years looking for a live stream theme, from a good-looking live streamer to a full-time live streamer. She did not expect Simon to help her realize her wish just by entering the screen. She pointed the camera at Simon and suddenly turned around to give him a big bear hug. ¡°My dear brother, you¡¯re my lucky little star!¡± Lydia said excitedly. Simon did not expect her to be like this. She almost threw her arms around his body like a koala bear. The soft touch was on his chest. As Lydia jumped up and down, Simon had goosebumps all over his body. ¡°She had something inside her chest!¡± Simon kept telling himself in his head that this softness was because of the breast pad. It was not her real breast. But then the thought struck him that her fragrant soft body pressed against him and there were only two thin layers of cloth between them. Simon felt the hot sensation on his face burn all the way to his ears, and he coughed embarrassedly. ¡°Lydia, we¡¯re not kids anymore.¡± ¡°Whatever, I¡¯m so happy!¡± Lydia snorted and jumped down from Simon¡¯s body. She quietly turned her head to look at the camera. The audience in the live stream channel exploded. ¡°Oh my God! The despicable sister is using her younger brother, but I like it so much!¡± ¡°God, Simon¡¯s life is the paradise that I¡¯ve always dreamed of!¡± ¡°Sister, do you still lack a younger brother in your family?¡± ¡°Take him down, take him down!¡± Lydia did not expect that just a hug would cause such an increase in the number of audiences! Seeing that the number of fans in the live steam channel was just one step away from 100,000, she suddenly had a plan. ¡°Hehe, my dear brother, I¡¯m going to interact with the netizens behind your back!¡± thought Lydia. She turned to Simon and said, ¡°I put something under the bed by accident. Help me get it out.¡± Simon did not doubt her and nodded immediately. Then, he leaned on the side of the bed and reached out his hand into under the bed to search. After creating a gap, Lydia moved closer to the camera and said in a soft voice, ¡°I¡¯m going to complete my brother¡¯s mission. If you like, follow me!¡± My brother¡¯s mission! It was too tempting! If the audience in the live broadcast channel could send a voice message, it would definitely be a series of wolf howls! Although Lydia was just going to unpack his luggage, her ambiguous words caused the popularity of the live stream channel to reach its peak again! She covered her mouth and snickered, constantly refreshing the number of followers. 60,000.. 90,000.. 100,000! It¡¯s done! [ Ding! Congratulations! Fan count reaching 100,000. Successfully completed the mission. Gift of Treasure Chest. ] [ Bra Size + 3, Skin Smoothness + 2. ] All of a sudden, Lydia felt her chest tighten. After the Bra Size increased, the extra breast pads squeezed her chest, and she felt she could not breathe normally. It was not a dream! It did grow bigger! At this moment, Simon, who had found nothing under the bed, raised his head and saw Lydia¡¯s flushed face. ¡°Lydia, are you not feeling well?¡± Simon asked with concern. ¡°Yes, I feel wonderful!¡± Lydia waved her hand happily. Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, she hurriedly corrected herself, ¡°You didn¡¯t find anything under the bed? Maybe my memory failed me, Hahaha.¡± She felt her breast had become heavier, but this was a sweet burden to her. Unfortunately, this joy could not be shared with her dear brother. Lydia smiled and squatted down to unpack the rest of his luggage as fast as she could. She clapped her hands and said, ¡°It¡¯s done. I¡¯ve done a good job, haven¡¯t I?¡± Simon looked at the neat room and gave Lydia a thumbs up in gratitude. Not only did she take the things out of the box, but she also sorted his books and placed them neatly on the bookshelf. Some small things that were easy to lose were placed in the drawer and separated by dividers. She also patiently folded the clothes one by one and placed the clothes and pants separately. ¡°Thank you, Lydia,¡± Simon said sincerely. To be honest, the neatness of the room was far beyond her imagination. ¡°No, I should thank you.¡± Lydia hugged her chest in enjoyment. ¡°You helped me increase the popularity of the live stream channel,¡± thought Lydia. I just got rid of the title of Princess Flat Breast! [ Ding! Tidying up the room is completed. Bra Size + 2, Skin Smoothness + 1] As soon as she finished speaking, Lydia felt a familiar warm current slowly pass by. The excess fat from her arms, waist, and thighs all gathered at her chest. The weight that increased once again made her stomach tighten. The breast pad was squeezed out of her bra and stuck at the edge, making it difficult for Lydia to breathe. ¡°It grew again! It grew again!¡± exclaimed Lydia inwardly. The bra size grew, and her skin became smoother! ¡°Hahaha, in the future, let¡¯s see which audience dares to say that my channel is boring!¡± said Lydia proudly in her head. Every mission has its own reward, it¡¯s too wonderful, I must give a good review! She could not wait to show off to her sisters. So she turned to Simon and said, ¡°Good brother, I¡¯m done packing, I¡¯ll go back, you have a good rest!¡± Simon smiled and nodded, watching Lydia leave with dancing hands and feet. The moment her right foot stepped out of the door. Simon¡¯s system rang in his head. [ Ding! Lydia has punched in for one hour and 50 minutes. Treasure Chest has been upgraded! ] [ Congratulations host for obtaining: Expert-level Programming ] [ Ding! Lydia has completed the 100,000 fan quota and obtained a treasure chest! ] [ Congratulations host for obtaining: Expert-level Massage ] ¡°Holy sh*t! Two at once!¡± shouted Simon in his head.. Chapter 9 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The longer the time it took to punch in, the better the gift pack will become. The difference between 10,000 dollars and Expert-level Programming was too big! Simon was ecstatic! In the future, when he released the check-in mission, he would choose the time-consuming mission. He could not let any good chance slip. Moreover, the more people he gave the system to, the more chances he would have to get a gift pack. Since the first step of the experiment was successful, now he should proceed to the next stage, giving more people the system. Simon began to consider to whom he should give the system. In the room on the second floor. Lydia ran back to her room in a hurry. The second after the door was closed, the bra button on her back finally could not take it anymore and snapped open! Lydia leaned against the door and took in large mouthfuls of fresh air. Because her breast was too tight before, she could not even breathe normally, and her face went so red. Now, she finally could breathe as she liked. She pulled out the bra from her sleeve and willy-nilly threw it on the bed. Lydia held the silicone breast pad and kissed it. ¡°My dear friend, I don¡¯t need you anymore.¡± Her wrist made a perfect arc, and the two thick pads were thrown into the trash can. She pulled open her t-shirt and looked at the satisfactory roundness. ¡°Oh my God, how did I get such a perfect figure! ¡°If I don¡¯t show off, then what¡¯s the point of working so hard on the mission!¡± She pulled out the silk pajamas that she had been reluctant to wear before and put them on. Her figure had no curves before, and the soft silk had hung on her body like a curtain. Now her breast was prodigious, and the pajama perfectly accentuated her attractive body. Lydia spun around in front of the mirror and gasped in admiration. ¡°My God, with a body like this, my smoother skin, it¡¯s perfect! I feel I¡¯m gonna fall in love with myself!¡± Lydia mentally praised herself. Then she walked out of the room and knocked on her fourth sister Catherine¡¯s room. She pushed the door open before Catherine said she could come in and entered the room briskly, Lydia put one hand on her waist, puffed out her chest, and strode like a high fashion model in front of Catherine¡¯s bed. Catherine was busy reading the literature and had no time to respond to her. Without raising her head, she said, ¡°I¡¯ve used up the facial mask long ago. Go get it from Jane.¡± Hearing her words, Lydia touched her face in a flirtatious manner and said, ¡°Facial mask? Ridiculous! Do I need that kind of thing?¡± ¡°What was wrong with her this time?¡± Catherine rolled her eyes inwardly. She was busy with her research and had no time to fool around with Lydia. She looked up impatiently and was stunned for a moment. Then she asked in surprise, ¡°Lydia, how did your skin become so good?¡± Hearing that she only noticed her skin, Lydia shrugged her shoulders in dissatisfaction and swayed her breast. ¡°Didn¡¯t you notice something else?¡± The two big balls in front of her chest swung back and forth. Catherine could not ignore them even if she wanted to. She stared at the things that her sister should not have and asked in puzzlement, ¡°Did you buy a new breast pad? It looks pretty good. It looks just like the real thing.¡± ¡°Tut tut, what do you mean ¡®just like the real thing¡¯? This is the real thing!¡± Hearing this, Catherine stood up and touched Lydia¡¯s forehead. She then touched her own and said, ¡°We both don¡¯t have a fever. Why are you talking nonsense?¡± Lydia almost fainted from her anger. She felt her sister was so blind. As a top student with an IQ of 130, the fourth sister actually did not have such eyesight. Although she was well-educated, she could not even see things clearly. ¡°Sister, put on your glasses and take a good look!¡± Lydia gnashed her teeth and said. When Catherine was at home, she basically did not wear glasses, even when she was reading books and documents. She picked up the gold-rimmed glasses at the bedside and put them on to carefully identify them. ¡°I can¡¯t see any flaws, it¡¯s perfect!¡± ¡°Gosh, you¡¯re really pissing me off!¡± Lydia was so angry that she stomped her feet. Unable to bear it any longer, she grabbed Catherine¡¯s hand and pressed it against her breast. Catherine¡¯s five fingers slightly closed. This touch¡­ was soft! This temperature¡­ was hot! It was real! Catherine unconsciously opened her mouth wide and pinched it twice in surprise. Lydia was tickled by her. She grabbed her hand and threw it to the side, saying proudly, ¡°The real thing! Are you convinced?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never heard that your breast can still grow in your twenties! It¡¯s impossible for the breast to grow bigger after you washed dishes. Did you take medicine?¡± Catherine asked while holding her glasses. She was a true academic, and the way to solve problems was from a scientific point of view. If she felt that something was not in line with science, then she would get to the bottom. Hearing that Catherine was once again trying to find the truth, Lydia smiled awkwardly. ¡°Oh, No! How should I explain the whole system thing to her? If I tell her, she definitely will say I read too many Sci-Fi books. I really should have considered this before I told her,¡± thought Lydia. Lydia scratched her head. She could not think of a reasonable explanation even if she racked her brain. ¡°Why don¡¯t I bring you to the hospital tomorrow to have a check?¡± Catherine suggested. ¡°Normal development won¡¯t happen so quickly. If you get sick, it¡¯ll be bad.¡± ¡°No, no, I¡¯m not sick!¡± Lydia hurriedly waved her hand. ¡°What a joke. If I go to the hospital, they may dissect me to see what is going on! I¡¯m not going!¡± Although Lydia refused to go to the hospital, Catherine was still unwilling to let go of this mysterious matter. ¡°Then how do you explain your bra size?¡± ¡°Uh¡­ well¡­ it¡­ is Simon¡­¡±Lydia was quick-witted. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s Simon!¡± ¡°Younger brother?¡± ¡°Yes! It¡¯s him. Fourth sister, if you have nothing to do, you can chat with Simon. He¡¯s sensible and understanding. Your mood will be better if you chat with him!¡± ¡°Is what you said true?¡± Catherine asked doubtfully. How could chatting make one¡¯s breast grow? Lydia continued to talk nonsense, ¡°Scientific research shows that a woman¡¯s physical condition has a lot to do with her mood! ¡°Being angry and upset will cause many diseases. On the other hand, a good mood can promote body development! ¡°You were the one who showed me those journals. Have you forgotten?¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Catherine was skeptical of her words. She seemed to have read the relevant papers, but did she come to this conclusion? She was not a professional medical student, so she did not know much about these things. She reluctantly agreed with Lydia¡¯s point of view. Seeing that Catherine was a little relaxed, Lydia continued, ¡°There must be no mistake, fourth sister. You have been troubled with the subject recently. Not only has your skin become rough, but your memory has also faded. You really should find your younger brother and have a good chat.¡± After being reminded by her sister, Catherine subconsciously touched her cheek. Her skin was actually a little not good! ¡°Where did my delicate skin go?¡± groaned Catherine inwardly. She was suddenly shocked. It had indeed been a long time since she had taken good care of her skin! Even if Catherine was an intellectual at Oxford University, researching high-level technical fields such as NLP, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence, she was still a woman. How could a woman not care about her skin? ¡°Fourth sister, do you think what I said makes sense? Oh, right, lend me one of your bras. Mine is small¡­¡± Before she had finished speaking, Lydia saw Catherine suddenly jump up from her bed and rush out of the door. ¡°Fourth sister, where are you going?¡± Lydia called out. ¡°I¡¯m going to discuss academic issues with Simon!¡± Catherine said without turning her head. ¡°No hurry!¡± Lydia stuck out her tongue. ¡°If you want good skin, just say it. Academic my a*s! Do you think anyone can be like me? I¡¯m the chosen one! That¡¯s why I can become so beautiful! But you, you¡¯d better stop daydreaming!¡± thought Lydia. Lydia hummed a little tune happily as she opened Catherine¡¯s wardrobe and picked out bras that suited her.. Chapter 10 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Simon lay on the bed and looked through the two skills he had just acquired. He opened the ¡°programming¡± column. In an instant, countless programming-related knowledge flooded his brain like a tide. His major was related to science and engineering. He did not plan to learn programming seriously, so he had only bought two introductory books of programming. The system had almost stuffed all knowledge of programing into his brain. Usually, a programming expert may spend a lifetime learning this knowledge. He had mastered the systematical knowledge of programming. Knock, knock. A series of knocks on the door interrupted Simon¡¯s train of thought. ¡°Simon, it¡¯s me, Catherine. Are you asleep?¡± Catherine said in a low voice. Simon¡¯s eyes lit up, and he immediately sat up from the bed. He was just thinking about who was the second target, but now the target had come to find him. He walked over and opened the door. Catherine¡¯s little round face was red as she grabbed the corner of her clothes sheepishly. At this moment, seeing Simon¡¯s handsome face, Catherine regretted that she was only wearing a stiff black-and-white long-sleeved pajama. Her good figure was completely hidden by the loose clothes. ¡°If I had known earlier, I would have taken off Delia¡¯s silk nightgown and worn it myself!¡± muttered Catherine inwardly. She did not leave a good first impression on her younger brother, and her second impression was also ruined! ¡°Catherine? Do you have something to talk about with me?¡± Simon blinked his eyes twice, deliberately pulled an innocent face. Of course, he knew why Catherine would suddenly come looking for him. It was definitely because Lydia had flaunted her newly obtained bra size in front of her. Not long after joining the Bennett family, Simon could tell that Lydia and Catherine had a better relationship and would definitely share everything with each other. Catherine took a look at Simon and felt like she was about to stop breathing. She said shyly, ¡°I¡¯m a bit upset because of work, so I want to have a little chat with someone.¡± ¡°Do you want to talk about NLP?¡± Simon pointed at the documents in Catherine¡¯s arms. On the cover was written ¡°Artificial Intelligence Natural Language Processing.¡± Catherine hid the book behind her back. She was in such a hurry that she forgot to put the documents away. She smiled awkwardly, ¡°That¡¯s not a good topic. Let¡¯s talk about something simple.¡± ¡°Okay, anything you like. Please come in.¡± Simon invited Catherine into the room. After getting permission, Catherine nodded with a smile. Only then did she really step in. [ Ding! Fourth Sister Catherine has entered the host¡¯s private territory, punching in successfully! The host has received a reward of 10,000 dollars! ] The system¡¯s voice sounded at the right time. This reminded Simon of the last time when Catherine came to call him to eat. The door was clearly open, and Lydia was also in the room, but Catherine just stood at the doorway and knocked, without actually entering the room. It seemed that the system would only reward money if an unbound relative entered the room. If Lydia, who was bound to the system, entered the room, she would be able to punch in and Simon would receive the Treasure Box. Simon gradually understood the rules of the system. Catherine, who entered the room, was not like Lydia, who did not care about elegance and carelessly sat by the bed. Instead, she sat by the desk like a demure lady. ¡°Simon, are you happy living here?¡± Catherine asked. Simon nodded immediately. ¡°Of course! With all you guys caring for me, how could I not be happy?¡± He was such a considerate person. No matter what others asked, he would be able to answer them appropriately. ¡°I¡¯m glad to hear that¡­¡± Catherine was not good at chit-chat and tried to find a topic to talk about. She saw a few introductory programming books on Simon¡¯s bookshelf and said happily, ¡°You learned programming?¡± Simon said modestly, ¡°I know a little.¡± People always felt at ease once they found something they were good at. Catherine became less nervous and said with a smile, ¡°Simon, you don¡¯t need to be humble. If you know, then just say you know. If you don¡¯t, I can teach you.¡± Lydia just told her that talking with Simon could make her feel happy, and now she believed Lydia. She did feel better now. She was in a great mood. She raised her hand and touched her cheek. She was not sure if her skin had improved. When would her skin return to its original smooth state? She couldn¡¯t stay here and chat for an entire night. Catherine knew that she was not a chatty person. After a few sentences, there was no more conversation. Now that she thought about it, she felt she should not have come to disturb Simon in the middle of the night. She got carried away because she thought talking with him could improve her skin smoothness. Even if she wanted to leave now, she could not find a suitable excuse. ¡°Catherine, what are you thinking about?¡± Simon asked her with a smile. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m just wondering if you¡¯re happy living here,¡± Catherine whispered. ¡°Catherine, you asked this question just now.¡± ¡°Ah? Oh, I¡¯m sorry, I¡­ I mean, if you need anything, just tell me. As your elder sister, I¡¯ll definitely think of a way for you. Work, study, anything you need my help, just tell me,¡± Catherine said. After saying that, she fell silent. She really could not find a topic to talk about. She had to repeat the conversation about ¡°sister helps brother.¡± Simon only smiled and agreed, but Catherine did not answer, so he could not speak on his own. The two of them looked at each other without saying anything. The atmosphere in the room became extremely awkward. Catherine was so regretful. She really should not have rushed over. Her eyes kept glancing at the few programming books on the bookshelf. Ambivalent thoughts ran amok in her head. She thought, ¡°If I were to talk to him about programming, would he think that I¡¯m a nerd? ¡°But other than programming, I can¡¯t find a common topic. ¡°If I had known earlier, I would have dragged Lydia along! ¡°Why did I believe her nonsense at that time!¡± Catherine bit her thin lips lightly. Although she was not as well-dressed as the other sisters, she was still a beautiful woman. Even if she sat upright, she was still a pleasing beauty. In addition, all her emotions were written on her face. She exuded a sense of innocence. Simon saw that she had bitten her lips until they were red. He could not help but break the silence for her. ¡°Fourth sister, can I take a look at the documents in your hands?¡± Simon took the initiative to ask. ¡°This? You can¡¯t understand,¡± Catherine said. It was not that she looked down on Simon, but only people who had expert knowledge could understand these documents. The documents that she often read were all academic journals in the field of NRL. There were a lot of special terms, and ordinary people would not be able to understand them at all. ¡°I¡¯m just curious. If I don¡¯t understand, I can still ask you,¡± Simon said with a smile. It was also a good opportunity to test the system¡¯s reward ability. When she heard that her brother was eager to learn, Catherine did not deliberately hide it. She was very willing to discuss academic issues with others. Then, she passed the documents to Simon. Perhaps he would get bored after reading it for a while, Catherine thought to herself silently. After all, she had been reading these books for several days. She read them in the research room and read them when she went home. Not only did she not break through the bottleneck, but she was also tired of reading them. That was why she stayed up all night and made her skin look terrible. She cupped her chin and looked up to observe Simon. However, she saw that he was frowning slightly, biting his thumb with his teeth, and was staring at a certain part of the page in deep thought. His facial features were very handsome. He looked even more charming when he was being serious. Catherine felt that her face was about to burn. She raised her hand and kept fanning herself to cool down. Suddenly, Simon reached out his slender fingers pointing somewhere in the passage, and said, ¡°Fourth sister, do you think this is wrong?¡± Chapter 11 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Wrong? How could it be?¡± thought Catherine. Catherine took the documents and checked them carefully. These documents were all collected from various thesis websites and professional programming journals. One could say that all of them were written by well-respected experts in this field. How could there be a mistake? Catherine looked at them a few more times and did not find anything wrong. Because she needed these documents for her study, she had been reading these documents for several days, and there was no way she would fail to notice any mistakes for all these days. ¡°Perhaps Simon was just anxious to prove himself and did not check them carefully,¡± thought Catherine. She thought this was very possible. Then she smiled at Simon. ¡°Simon, if you are interested, I can spare some time tomorrow to teach you. But it¡¯s too late now. You should hit the sack now.¡± After finishing speaking, she got to her feet and wanted to leave. Simon raised his hand and blocked her way. From the knowledge he had obtained, there was an inconspicuous calculation error in the data in these documents. Every number played a very important role in academic research. A small mistake could directly overturn the entire conclusion. The reason Catherine had not made any progress in her study may be because she had consulted this inaccurate data. Simon already had a conclusion in his head, but he knew that Catherine would definitely not believe his theory. He had to gain his trust first. Simon pulled a sincere face and said, ¡°Fourth Sister, I can¡¯t sleep. Your documents are very interesting. Tell me more.¡± His thirst for knowledge was really hard to refuse. If Catherine went back to her room now, she probably could not fall asleep. She would likely sit before the desk and read those documents until dawn. Therefore, she would rather have a chat with Simon. Beginners would always come up with all kinds of fantastic ideas because of their lack of experience. Perhaps talking with Simon could inspire her. Thinking of this, Catherine readily agreed, ¡°Since you are interested, let¡¯s go to my room. There¡¯re more documents there.¡± Hearing that she invited him to go to her room, Simon was a bit surprised. Simon had never been to a girl¡¯s room before. He felt a bit curious about how it looked. It just so happened that Catherine had already punched in his room for more than a minute, so her leaving now would not affect his reward. Simon nodded and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go. Thanks for keeping me company.¡± It was already late at night, and the two of them quietly went down to the second floor. The other sisters had already turned off their rooms¡¯ lights and gone to bed. Only Catherine¡¯s door was slightly opened, and the light leaked out through the door. Catherine thought that Lydia might still be staying in her room, but she did not think too much and pushed the door open and entered the room straightaway. When she saw the extraordinary situation in the room, Catherine was petrified on the spot. Simon followed behind her, and when he looked over her head, he saw that the room was a mess! The wardrobe door was wide open, and bras and underwear were thrown willy-nilly all over the bed. There were all sorts of underwear. The basic, light-colored one, the almost transparent one, and the one with black laces! Lydia rummaged through Catherine¡¯s underwear as if a pirate was looking for treasure. Although Catherine looked quiet on the surface, the style of her underwear was a little wild. Simon seemed to catch sight of an orange one with a leopard pattern. It was both sharp and tacky. He did not dare to comment further. He could only bite his lips, lower his head, and pretend that he did not see anything. However, the half-covered underwear was too eye-catching. It was only half the size of a standard bra. Simon wondered how it could be fastened inside, would it not pop open? Girls¡¯ clothes were indeed a magical existence! Seeing that her private items were exposed, Catherine was so embarrassed that she hoped that the ground would swallow her up. Her face was as red as an apple. She hurriedly picked up the bra on the bed and explained, ¡°Lydia, that wretched girl. She went through my clothes and didn¡¯t put them away. Simon, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ve made a fool of myself.¡± However, there was too much of her underwear. There was no way she could hold them in her arms. She picked up one piece and then another piece dropped from her arms because there were too many of them. Simon was too embarrassed to help her pick up the girl¡¯s private items. He could only carefully suggest, ¡°Fourth sister, why don¡¯t you put them in the wardrobe first?¡± She kept trying to stuff all underwear into her arms. She had almost checked all of her underwear. After hearing Simon¡¯s words, Catherine seemed to have woken up from a dream. She stuffed everything in the wardrobe and then slammed the door. She leaned against the wardrobe door and panted heavily as if she had used up all her strength. She had really made a fool of herself again! She had never been so embarrassed in her life! ¡°Lydia, you¡¯re in big trouble!¡± screamed Catherine inwardly. Catherine had decided that she would settle a score with Lydia one day. She smiled bitterly and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry for making a fool of myself.¡± ¡°That¡¯s all right. No worries.¡± In order not to make the atmosphere awkward again, Simon took the initiative to ask, ¡°Fourth sister, do all the documents you¡¯re using on the bookshelf?¡± ¡°Yes, the difficulty level of these books increases from left to right. You can start from the leftmost side first,¡± Catherine reminded. A whole row of books was all about programming. Simon randomly picked one and opened it. There were many notes densely written in the book. There were also important sentences that were marked out with various colored markers. From the notes, one could tell that Catherine was a fantastic student. No matter how obscure the words were, with Catherine¡¯s notes, it looked as simple as ABC. Simon flipped through it twice and put it back. He skipped the middle and took out the book at the back. Catherine asked in surprise, ¡°You¡¯ve read all the books at the front?¡± Simon nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ve learned programming for a while. I¡¯ve read all these.¡± Self-study? Catherine obviously didn¡¯t believe it. She picked out a simple book from the bookshelf. She then asked two questions from the book, and Simon answered them easily. She couldn¡¯t help but show an appreciative smile. ¡°You really know this stuff.¡± Catherine wanted to figure out how much Simon had studied, so she changed to a more advanced book. As usual, Simon was not stumped. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be studying science and engineering in college. You should come to my university,¡± Catherine said with a smile. ¡°Fourth Sister, you¡¯re joking. Let¡¯s continue,¡± Simon said. Catherine was surprised. Simon had already outstripped many college students in programming knowledge. He even asked her to continue asking? She had to suspect that there may be no problems that could stumble him. Catherine finally chose a question that had been difficult for her in the past. In order to solve it, she spent two weeks in the library. Eventually, under the guidance of an old professor at Oxford University, she fully understood the principle behind it. She blocked the answer, spread the book with the question on the table, and said, ¡°If you can solve this question, you are qualified to study it with me.¡± Catherine still had some confidence in her knowledge. She took out a stack of draft paper and placed it on the table. She said proudly, ¡°You can take your time. No need to hurry.¡± As soon as she said that, Catherine heard the rustling of writing. Simon was writing rapidly on the table! Rows of symbols were written all over the draft paper without any pause. Catherine gasped in surprise and walked to Simon. He was actually solving the problem?! He was solving the problem without any reference books or materials?! Chapter 12 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Catherine stood at the side with her hand over her mouth in surprise. She was so shocked that she could not find her voice. ¡°Unbelievable! How could he know another solution! I studied this question for several weeks and he solved it in a wink? Is he really only a graduate?¡± thought Catherine. Catherine was so shocked that her jaw almost fell to the ground. Simon wrote the solution so fast that Catherine could not catch up with his train of thought. Before she could understand one line, Simon had already started writing another line. ¡°Fourth sister, take a look and see if it¡¯s correct.¡±Simon handed the draft paper to Catherine and picked up another draft paper. Seeing that Simon had already written two or three papers of the draft, Catherine quickly held his hand and stopped him from continuing. If she did not stop him, he might continue to write until dawn! ¡°Enough, Simon, I can see that you really know how to do it!¡± Catherine laughed. Her eyes were full of unconcealable surprise. ¡°I heard that there is a programming major in the university next to yours. Did you go there and take some lessons?¡± Catherine asked softly. Catherine knew very well that programming was not a simple subject. If there was no professional teacher¡¯s guidance, one might still be at the beginner stage after studying it for several years. The teacher who taught Simon programming must be an incredibly good teacher. Simon majored in science and engineering, but he mastered more knowledge of programming than a student majoring in programming. If she could know who this teacher is and ask him questions related to her thesis, perhaps the bottleneck in her research would be broken through! Catherine secretly clenched her fists, determined that no matter what method she used, she must know the name of that teacher! ¡°No, Fourth Sister, I studied it all by myself.¡± Simon scratched his head in embarrassment. He was overjoyed. As he expected, an expert-level programming skill was incredible! When he solved the questions, his mind was overflowing with ideas! If Catherine did not stop him, he might continue to write it until it was solved. He felt thrilled! The feeling of being a programming expert was fantastic! Hearing Simon¡¯s answer, Catherine could not believe him. He only had several books about basic knowledge of programming. It was impossible for him to be this good by reading those books. She pouted unhappily and said, ¡°Good brother, don¡¯t fool me, please. My research has been stuck for a long time. I really need that teacher¡¯s help, just tell me.¡± ¡°Fourth Sister, I¡¯m telling you the truth. I learned it by myself!¡± ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Really! I swear!¡± Simon crossed his fingers. He looked so genuine. No one would think he was lying by looking at his face. ¡°How could it be?¡± Catherine almost collapsed inside her head. ¡°I¡¯ve worked so hard all these years, and I was outstripped by him who only learned it by himself? Is he a genius?¡± Catherine bit her lips unwillingly. She felt everything was like a joke. She always stayed up for study but was still outshone by Simon. She could not accept Simon¡¯s answer, but she could not think of a more reasonable explanation. She circled around Simon in confusion, wanting to see what was different about this young man. Her eyes were filled with fervent light, sweeping Simon up and down. Simon felt uncomfortable being stared at and said awkwardly, ¡°Fourth Sister, why are you looking at me?¡± ¡°Brother, tell me honestly, how did you learn it all by yourself?¡±Catherine asked. ¡°How? Well, how should I explain it? I can¡¯t say it¡¯s the reward of the system,¡± thought Simon awkwardly. However, when he met Catherine¡¯s eager and expectant gaze, Simon knew that if he could not explain it, he would not be able to leave this place today. After thinking for a moment, Simon said confidently, ¡°Well, I just kept my spirits up!¡± ¡°Huh? What the heck?¡± thought Catherine. Catherine frowned in confusion, suspecting that her ears played a trick on her. Simon cleared his throat and continued, ¡°Fourth Sister, do you feel that you have forgotten your original intention of learning? ¡°In the beginning, you became a scholar because you wanted to enlighten yourself, broaden your horizons, and explore the unknown world. ¡°But now, you blindly believe in the experience of your predecessors and directly regard the results of other people¡¯s research as the truth without any doubt. ¡°Don¡¯t blame me for being straightforward, but think about it carefully. Why are you writing this thesis? Is it because you want to find the truth, or just because you want to make a name for yourself in the academic world?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Catherine¡¯s heart almost skipped a beat. Simon¡¯s words hit her hard. She suddenly realized something that she had been blind to for so long. Now she understood. The thing that stopped her from getting ahead was not her thesis, but the fact that she had forgotten her original intention of learning. The long-lasting confusion was finally resolved. Tears formed in the corners of Catherine¡¯s eyes. She was so excited that she almost cried. Simon saw that Catherine¡¯s eyes were red and watery, and she looked vulnerable and cuddly. Although she looked very attractive now, he was in no mood for appreciating her beauty. ¡°Am I being too hard on her? Is she crying?¡± thought Simon. ¡°But I was just telling her the truth. Why did she suddenly burst out crying?¡± ¡°Fourth Sister, are you alright?¡± Simon smiled apologetically, thinking of how to make up for it. Catherine grabbed Simon¡¯s hand excitedly and said, ¡°Simon, you¡¯ve helped me realize something I¡¯d not noticed for a long time! ¡°Oh God, you saved my mother, and now you have saved me! You have also saved Lydia¡¯s bra size. You really have a magical power! ¡°A mysterious power that even science can not explain!¡± Simon did not expect that Catherine actually believed his words. He thought it would be very hard for him to fool Catherine who firmly believed in science. He grinned mysteriously. It was time! Simon summoned the system and muttered, ¡°System, bind Catherine!¡± [ Roger! Binding begins. Target Catherine detected. ] [ Binding completed. Host, please activate! ] ¡°Now release the first mission. Correct the data error!¡± [ Roger ] As Simon released the mission, an unfamiliar voice sounded in Catherine¡¯s mind. [ Ding! Target identity detected. Target binding successful. System activating¡­ ] [ System activation completed. Congratulations to target. Target successfully bound to the system. Once you complete the mission issued by the system, You will receive a treasure box! ] Catherine¡¯s body trembled. ¡°System? What happened?¡± Catherine questioned inside her head. She raised her eyes to look at Simon suspiciously. She saw that Simon¡¯s handsome face was calm and had not opened his mouth. She mumbled inwardly, ¡°Am I hearing things?¡± [ You are not hearing things. It¡¯s real. ] [ Because you have changed your attitude towards research, you have bound the system to help you solve your learning problems. After completing the mission, you will receive a treasure box. ] Of course, these words were made by Simon. After all, Catherine was a top student and it was harder to fool her than Lydia. ¡°For example?¡± Catherine asked back. [ For example, your skin. No matter how long you stay up, your skin will be as tender as a baby. ] This is something that no woman could refuse, let alone Catherine. The system surely got her number. Catherine did not even struggle. She immediately fell for it and simply said, ¡°What is the mission?¡± [ Correct the wrong data! ] ¡°That was it? It was too easy!¡± thought Catherine. Catherine picked up the previous documents. Simon had marked a mistake. Now she needed to correct it, but it seemed too difficult for her to overturn what she believed deeply. Catherine blinked her big watery eyes and said sheepishly to Simon, ¡°Brother, are you willing to talk with sister in the room all night long?¡± Chapter 13 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Catherine pushed her glasses. She kept her head lowered, looking shy. From the way she acted, one would have thought she was up to something else. Simon gave a faint smile and said, ¡°If it¡¯s regarding academic matters, of course.¡± His smile was so gentle that it as warm as the spring breeze. Catherine was a scientific person, but she saw Simon growing the wings of an angel at the moment. She was amazed by her little brother! She wondered which lucky girl would get him in the future. She had to keep an eye on him now. She would rather marry him herself than to give him to someone else weaker! Catherine was not as vibrant as Lydia, there were some words that she would only keep to herself and not tell anyone. Little did she know that the system had conveyed every single part of her monologue to Simon. It turned out that he could hear the other party¡¯s inner voice once the system was activated. Speaking of which, judging from what Catherine thought earlier, these sisters indeed came from the same family! Simon shook his head with a bitter smile. Then, he flipped and checked the previous data. Catherine immediately got nervous. With her face turned serious, she waited for Simon to correct her. After all, the academic research lab was one of her top priorities besides her family. It wouldn¡¯t be a surprise that she would take this extremely seriously. Without noticing, both of them were getting closer and closer. Catherine and Simon were almost leaning their faces against each other while being so immersed in work. Simon could easily sniff the fragrance of shower gel on Catherine¡¯s skin. ¡°Simon, look, there¡¯s a data error from here on¡­¡± Catherine was completely focused on it. To make it easier to read, she squeezed her body to stand in front of Simon. Standing 1.8 meters tall, Simon stretched his long arms on the sides of the table. He was embracing Catherine in between his arms. Right below his head, he could see the beautiful back of Catherine¡¯s neck which formed a tempting curve underneath her clothes. The baby hair on the top of her head tickled Simon¡¯s chin. It was so seductive that it could make one¡¯s mind go wild. Simon roared in his heart. How could he remain focused in such a situation? He was trying hard to hold it in. However, he couldn¡¯t tell Catherine to stop moving in between his arms. They stood so close to each other but there was no direct physical contact. This intimate posture lasted for half an hour. Finally, with Simon¡¯s help, they finished correcting the data error. Catherine was so delighted that she jolted in joy, ¡°Simon, thank you!¡± Right then, she was completely stunned after realizing that she was in Simon¡¯s arms. With her heart beating violently, her face flushed red. She turned around and quickly moved to the side. ¡°You¡­ Why are you hugging me?¡± Catherine said, feeling embarrassed. Simon felt speechless. She was the one who squeezed her body in front of him. Why would she even ask him? On top of that, they were not even touching each other! ¡°Fourth sister, you¡¯re too immersed in work just now. You just didn¡¯t notice it,¡± Simon said as he scratched his head. Catherine took a quick glance at Simon. When she met Simon¡¯s eyes, she immediately looked away. She fiddled with the corner of her clothes and said, ¡°You¡¯re the first man¡­ who hugged me.¡± That intimate contact brought a strange feeling in Catherine¡¯s heart, giving her butterflies. She had always been obsessed with research and spent most of her time in the research lab. She had never been in a relationship with anyone before. Simon was the first man who spent time with her alone in a closed space. She looked at the alarm clock on the bedside. It was already six in the morning! ¡°Ah, the sun is already up now!¡± Catherine felt as if she couldn¡¯t have enough yet. [ Ding! Congratulations for completing the Data Correction, mission accomplished. You¡¯ve received a Treasure Chest. ] [ Skin Smoothness + 5] The system¡¯s voice sounded in Catherine¡¯s mind. In an instant, Catherine felt a warm current flowing through her skin. Her loose skin seemed to be lifted by a pair of invisible hands. It was tightened all over her body. She hastily picked up the mirror at the bedside and looked into it. Oh heavens! Her dark circles and big pores were gone! Her skin was as soft and smooth as a freshly peeled egg. It was too magical! At the same time, Simon¡¯s system was updated. [ Ding! Catherine has completed the Data Correction quest. Dear host, you¡¯ve received a Treasure Chest, congratulations! ] After receiving the new Treasure Chest, Simon was not in a hurry to open it. He had already figured out the system¡¯s trick. For such a simple quest, the Treasure Chest must be filled with money alone. If he left it aside and kept it for leveling up, it would give him an unexpected surprise! For example, he got some skills upgrade before this. He would definitely wait for a better opportunity to unbox it. Moreover, the higher the difficulty of the quest, the better the reward he would get! As he thought of that, Simon looked at Catherine who was still obsessed with the improvement of her skin condition. ¡®Sorry, fourth sister. I helped you to fulfill your wish. Now, it¡¯s your turn to help me!¡¯ Simon summoned the system again and thought in his heart, ¡°Release the Second Mission!¡± [ Dear respected user, which target do you want to release the mission for? ] Simon recalled that he had not named Catherine¡¯s system yet. All the sisters¡¯ systems were named after their professions. For example, Lydia¡¯s system was named the [ Live Broadcast System ] . Nevertheless, Catherine was so interested in academic research that she would do it even without a mission. Plus, the mission was just a piece of cake to her. Plus, Catherine would only get a small Treasure Chest in each mission. It was really pointless. Simon thought carefully. What position should he place Catherine at? Got It! Let¡¯s name it the [ Academic System ] ! He only had to assign various check-in missions with moderate difficulty, then all the problems would be solved! Simon continued, ¡°Catherine¡¯s system will be named the [ Academic System ] .¡± [ Yes, Sir! ] ¡°Now, please assign the Second Mission to [ Academic System ]. Check-in at my room at three in the morning!¡± A specific time was assigned. Hence, the difficulty was higher! [ Yes, sir! Assigning the mission now¡­ ] Following that, Catherine heard the system¡¯s announcement again. [ You¡¯ve received your Second Mission: Check-in beside Simon¡¯s bed tonight at 3 a.m.! ] Catherine was shocked. She put down the mirror and looked at Simon instantly. Why must she check-in beside Simon¡¯s bed? Was it because he had enlightened her earlier, only then could she activate the system? If that was really the case, then everything would make sense. Catherine was clear-headed. She found a reason to explain everything. Then, she nodded her head in satisfaction and reassured herself. She accepted the mission too quickly. Simon couldn¡¯t even stop the system from randomly assigning the mission. Simon asked the system unhappily, ¡°Why my bedside? Can¡¯t it be somewhere else in the room?¡± [ The more precise the location is, the more difficult it will be. Dear host, I hope you can understand. ] Hey! The system was really considerate for the host! Alright, let it be the bedside then. Anyway, it was something that Catherine should be worried about. After assigning the mission, Simon felt a little sleepy. Out of his expectations, he stayed up all night on his first day at this new home. After yawning loudly, Simon said to Catherine, ¡°Fourth sister, I¡¯m going to sleep. You should rest early too.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Simon. I¡¯ve wasted your entire night!¡± Catherine said apologetically, ¡°Let me send you back to your room.¡± ¡°Thank you, fourth sister.¡± With a creak, the door opened, both of them froze at the same time. Simon saw the morning sun shining into the room¡­ And, Big Sister was standing at the door with a shocked expression¡­ ¡®Wait!¡¯ ¡®Let me explain!¡¯ Chapter 14 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Wearing a sexy black lingerie, Jane was holding a steaming hot cup of coffee in her hand. She was usually a morning person. Right now, she witnessed a scene she could never imagine! At 6.30a.m., while the family members were still asleep, her fourth sister and her younger brother came out of the same room. Both of them were in their pajamas with tired faces. Apparently. they had been together all night! Moreover, how did fourth sister get such a good skin overnight? Yesterday, her skin condition was as poor as a messy straw hut. After one night, she now had her skin as glowing as a new porcelain glass! Jane felt a shock in her heart! There was a saying that women would get glowing skin when they received enough affections. They definitely seemed like they spent the whole night together! Did the two of them hook up? Jane wondered what to do now. Should she leave, or send her best wishes to this couple? Perhaps, she should inform mother now so that they could reserve their wedding venue? Jane¡¯s mind was a mess. She couldn¡¯t get it. How did they hook up so fast? Simon had only been here for twelve hours! Splash! The cup of coffee in her hand slipped and fell to the ground. The beautiful porcelain cup shattered into pieces, and the hot coffee splashed onto their pants. As a man, Simon had tougher skin on his legs. Catherine was wearing long pants, so she was safe as well. ¡°Hiss!¡± Jane gasped in pain. She was wearing a short skirt. Her fair and smooth legs turned slightly red from the scalding. ¡°Big Sister, are you okay?¡± Simon squatted and asked worriedly. He was about to check her wound. Jane quickly dodged and forced a smile. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m just passing by. Please, stay calm¡­ You guys¡­ I¡¯ll get the wedding planner for you guys!¡± After saying that, Jane immediately turned around and went downstairs. Simon went speechless. What the hell? Why would she say that? He knew that Jane must have misunderstood. He hurriedly stood up and chased after her. ¡°Big Sister, listen to me! It¡¯s not what you think!¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, brother,¡± Jane turned around and smiled. ¡°This is just as mother wished. Catherine will definitely take good care of you!¡± Simon stepped forward and blocked her with his arms. Then, he explained with a bitter face, ¡°Big Sister, listen to me!¡± ¡°Last night, fourth sister and I discussed programming for the whole night. Because we were too engrossed, we lost the track of time.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask fourth sister!¡± This explanation was not convincing at all. Jane touched Simon¡¯s hair with love, ¡°Silly boy, with your fourth sister¡¯s knowledge, she doesn¡¯t even have to ask you.¡± Jane knew everyone in the family very well. As the top student in the family, the only one who could discuss academic matters with Catherine would be an old man and experienced man. Her younger brother who was a fresh graduate, would never get the chance to. ¡°I¡¯m not a stubborn person. If you truly love each other, I will give you my blessing. Don¡¯t hide it from me,¡± Jane added. Listening to Jane¡¯s gentle advice, Simon was not relieved at all. Since his big sister refused to listen, Simon could only look at Catherine. Catherine came forward beside them, ¡°Big sister, we were really discussing about programming for the whole night. We didn¡¯t do anything else.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can check out my room.¡± ¡°There are draft papers that we¡¯ve used everywhere!¡± ¡°Really?¡± Jane looked suspiciously into Catherine¡¯s room. She indeed saw the draft papers scattered on the ground. So that was really the case. It was real! Jane had mixed feelings all of a sudden and ran out of words. She quickly changed topic and said, ¡°Fourth sister, how could you make Simon stay up all night on his first day here? How could you be a sister as such?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, big sister. I didn¡¯t mean it. He is just so knowledgeable!¡± Catherine apologized endlessly. Simon interrupted, ¡°Big sister, don¡¯t blame fourth sister. Let¡¯s treat the burn on your leg first.¡± The three of them looked down. Jane¡¯s right foot was red and swollen. She didn¡¯t feel anything at first. After Simon¡¯s reminder, Jane suddenly felt a burning pain on her leg. It was so sad that she didn¡¯t dare to move. ¡°Simon, there¡¯s a first-aid box in the TV cabinet. Help me get it,¡± Jane pointed at the living room. Simon helped Jane to sit by the staircase. Then, he went to get the medicine. After a while, he returned with the first-aid box. He took out the scalding ointment and handed it to Catherine, gesturing her to help. Fortunately, the coffee was not too hot. Thus, there was no blistering on the skin. Jane¡¯s leg got scalded and turned red. ¡°Hey¡­ What is so important? Why must you discuss it overnight?¡± Jane lectured. Speaking of her profession, the quiet Catherine became very excited. She said while applying the ointment, ¡°Big sister, you don¡¯t know how great Simon is! It has been bothering me for a month, but I became enlightened after listening to Simon!¡± Jane obviously did not believe Catherine¡¯s words. To her, Catherine was just exaggerating. Yet, she smiled and asked, ¡°Oh? What ultimate move do you have, Simon?¡± ¡°Big sister, it¡¯s not to that extent as fourth sister said,¡± Simon replied with a shy smile. He continued, ¡°You just have to set your mind straight and be in a good mood.¡± ¡°Right, right! Being in a good mood makes you more beautiful. Besides that, it also makes you more busty!¡± Catherine showed her face proudly. Jane had been craving for her skin that was so fine, as if it carried a natural beauty effect. Jane could not help but touch Catherine¡¯s face. It felt soft and smooth on her fingertips. It was even finer that any premium silk. It felt so good to touch that one could get obsessed with it! Was it true that a good mood could bring such a great effect? If it was Lydia, Jane would definitely not buy her story. However, Catherine was the most scientific person in the family. It would be totally different! Could it be so magical? Really? Simon noticed how obsessed Jane was with the skin smoothness. He thought to himself, ¡®Wait till you see Lydia¡¯s breasts, you would definitely doubt your own life.¡¯ Being in a good mood was indeed a perfect excuse! Simon smirked. After applying the ointment, Jane asked Catherine, ¡°Fourth sister, I feel a little cold. Please get me a jacket from my room, take the one on the yoga mat.¡± ¡°Okay, wait a moment,¡± Catherine turned around and left. ¡°Big sister, I¡¯m going to sleep too,¡± Simon stood up and said, about to leave. Jane reached out to him and said, ¡°Do you still remember what I¡¯ve said just now?¡± ¡®Huh? Which line?¡¯ ¡®You¡¯ve said a lot just now.¡¯ Simon didn¡¯t get it. He shook his head in confusion. Jane laughed while covering her mouth, ¡°Do you really like her? You get along very well with Catherine. Are you interested?¡± Simon was stunned. Why did she bring this up again? He waved his hand and smiled bitterly, ¡°No I don¡¯t. Big sister, don¡¯t think too much.¡± Jane¡¯s smile became even brighter. She continued, ¡°Mom told me to check what kind of girl you like. If there¡¯s someone you like, even if it¡¯s one of us, I will help you out!¡± ¡°Simon, tell me honestly, who do you like?¡± Chapter 15 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Did Jane send Catherine away just to tell him about this? Big sister acted like aunt, they were very interested in marriage matters. Moreover, it involved two persons in a marriage. Why didn¡¯t they ask the other person¡¯s opinion first? An arranged marriage was immoral! Simon stood by his principles and waved his hand, ¡°I¡¯ve told aunt before. I respect all of you sisters very much!¡± ¡°Oh? Respect?¡± Jane stood up and cinched her hands on her waist. ¡°Are we not beautiful enough for you?¡± Jane had a very good body figure. Her revealing pajamas were hanging on her body like a piece of thin fabric. It was so short that it showed off her thighs and slender long legs. Simon tried hard to keep his eyes away, so he stared blankly at the stairs. Jane lowered her voice and laughed softly. ¡°Don¡¯t be shy, little brother. Tell me, I will keep the secret for you!¡± ¡°Big sister, don¡¯t make fun of me,¡± Simon said helplessly. These five sisters were fair, rich, and beautiful. If they were to find someone to date, countless men would be interested. Why did they seem so eager to marry him now? It was as if it would be too late if they didn¡¯t marry him by tomorrow. It shouldn¡¯t be so urgent! ¡°Well, big sister, let¡¯s stop talking about this. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back to my room,¡± Simon was reluctant to continue this topic, so he quickly left. ¡°Alright, go,¡± Jane waved at him. Watching him leave, Jane could not help but smile in relief. Her mother had never been wrong. Simon was indeed a good man. She was dressed so sexily, yet he wasn¡¯t staring at her at all. He acted like a gentleman. Moreover, he was bold and ambitious, so it was not a bad idea to marry him. Jane recalled her mother, Bennet mentioning that she wanted to choose someone among the five sisters to marry Simon. Jane was not surprised at all. She knew her mother¡¯s character very well. She would repay her life savior¡¯s kindness throughout her entire life. Otherwise, she couldn¡¯t feel rested. Jane had always been very supportive of her mother. Moreover, she had been taught to share her mother¡¯s burden. Even if her mother forced her to marry Simon, she would do it anyway. To the outsiders, she was the chief of the Hilton Group. However, only Jane knew that she was just a small potato in the Hilton family. Her mother was the main reason of the Hilton family¡¯s continuous glory. If her mother left one day, the family would only fall apart. Nevertheless, mother¡¯s health was getting worse these days due to aging. So, the Hilton family needed a new leader to keep their glory! Jane looked at Simon¡¯s room and gave a smile. ¡®I wish you would grow and be great, don¡¯t disappoint me.¡¯ Following that, she touched her face. Her skin didn¡¯t seem to have changed. Didn¡¯t they say that one could get finer skin being in a good mood? Catherine was indeed lying! How long did she need to get the clothes? She got angrier as she thought about it. Jane held onto the wall for support while stumbling back to her room. Simon returned to his room. His eyes were about to close, but he had something important to confirm. He called out, ¡°System.¡± [ Dear host, how can I help you? ] Simon worried for Catherine the most. She had the highest IQ in the entire family and was a science scholar. If a system suddenly appeared in her life, she might be blinded by the rewards in the beginning. But, wouldn¡¯t she get suspicious after a while? After all, she was harder to fool compared to Lydia! ¡°Will Catherine be suspicious of you?¡± [ Of course not. Once she accepts the system, Catherine will no longer be suspicious. ] ¡°Good,¡± Simon nodded. ¡°There¡¯s one more thing. Why must Lydia check-in at my room, but not for Catherine?¡± [ Because the system¡¯s coverage will increase as more people are set to check-in. ] [ When the target helps you check-in, you will have a wider coverage in control. ] In short, the area restrictions would slowly open up as more check-ins were done. At first, check-in had to be done in his own room. Later, he could check-in everywhere within the house. Finally, he could check-in wherever he was. The design was very logical. After getting the answers, Simon could not hold himself back anymore. The fatigue from staying up late swept over his entire body. He fell asleep soon after lying down. After some time, Simon was still dreaming when the system¡¯s announcement suddenly sounded. [ Ding! Lydia has entered the host¡¯s private territory, successfully checked in! The host has received a reward of 50,000 yuan! ] [ Ding! Catherine has entered the host¡¯s private territory, successfully checked in! The host has received a reward of 50,000 yuan! ] [ Ding! Big sister Jane has entered the host¡¯s private territory, successfully checked in! The host has received a reward of 10,000 yuan! ] [ Ding! Second sister Elizabeth has entered the host¡¯s private territory, successfully checked in! The host has received a reward of 10,000 yuan! ] Didn¡¯t it sound like a weather forecast? Simon thought in a daze. No! He opened his eyes and found four elder sisters standing by his bed. Each of them was holding a tray in their hands. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Simon stared at the four of them in bafflement. He quickly got up from the bed. He was lying while they were standing nicely by his bed. It was as if they were having a memorial service. Touchwood! ¡°Little Simon, you must be hungry. Quick, have some milk,¡± Lydia offered her tray. There was a small cup of milk and a piece of burnt buttered bread. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t you like it?¡± Lydia asked, feeling wronged. Simon laughed bitterly. The food looked very delicious. Yet, he didn¡¯t feel like having greasy food as soon as he woke up. ¡°Hehe, I told you not to choose buttered bread, but you didn¡¯t listen!¡± Jane mocked. She took the opportunity and offered, ¡°Simon, try this.¡± It was vegetable soup and croissant. The sweet fragrance was more attractive than the buttered bread. Simon was about to eat when Lydia said in a sarcastic tone, ¡°Big sister, you aren¡¯t that good either. Simon didn¡¯t even make a move!¡± Lydia tried to stir up trouble. Jane immediately stood up to argue with her unhappily. The croissant left Simon¡¯s sight as Jane stood up. Simon was speechless. He was just about to take the croissant! How could she take it away? Right then, Catherine and Elizabeth tried to pass their trays to Simon while the other two were arguing. ¡°Choose one,¡± Catherine said shyly. ¡°Ah! Second sister, fourth sister, you¡¯re so sneaky. It¡¯s not fair!¡± Lydia shrieked and handed over her tray too. Simon did not understand. What was going on? Why was everyone sending him food? What the hell were they doing? Chapter 16 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio There were four trays of food with different styles and tastes in front of him. Simon stared at his four sisters who were trying hard. He felt something fishy was going on! ¡°Simon, you must be hungry. Quick, choose one!¡± Jane urged. After hesitating for a while, Simon asked with a smile, ¡°Must I only choose one?¡± ¡°You can have them all if you can finish!¡± Lydia raised her beautiful eyebrows while replying. Simon looked at their expressions. They were full of expectations. There must be a conspiracy! He looked at the food in front of him again. The portion on each tray looked small, but it was just enough for one person. Simon touched his belly and estimated how much he could eat. Sure enough, he could only finish one of the dishes. He swallowed his saliva. Looking at the four dishes, if he had to choose one of them¡­ He would rather die! Simon pushed the trays away and jumped out of bed. He faked a laugh, ¡°I¡¯m not that hungry. Hahaha.¡± Lydia said in surprise, ¡°It¡¯s already one in the afternoon. How can you not be hungry?¡± What? Did he sleep for so long? ¡°Yes, Simon,¡± Catherine said worriedly, ¡°Is your stomach alright?¡± Simon had a bitter smile on his face. He walked to the bathroom awkwardly. A voice in his heart whispered. Run! Otherwise, he would never get out of this! With every step he took, the sisters¡¯ eyes followed. They were staring at him closely as if they wouldn¡¯t want to miss anything! Their beautiful eyes were blinking with eagerness, ¡°Eat mine!¡± Simon felt uneasy. This was the first time he felt so uncomfortable getting free food. He stopped at the bathroom door and turned around, ¡°Well, I need to go to the bathroom. Can you guys go out?¡± As soon as he said that, Simon sneaked into the bathroom and locked the door. He didn¡¯t want to go, but he was waiting for his sisters to leave. After a short while, the sisters realized that Simon was avoiding them. It was getting a little awkward, so they packed up and left dejectedly. Simon was delighted. Sure enough, the bathroom excuse was the most effective at all times! He hummed a little tune as he swaggered out of the bathroom. Turning his body, he lied on the soft mattress. Then, he counted the cash reward that he had just received. The system would give him 50,000 yuan every time the check-in target entered the house. The system would only give him 10,000 yuan for the non-targets. Simon thought happily, ¡°If they check-in more than 10 times a day, wouldn¡¯t I become a billionaire soon?¡± [ Unfortunately, each person can only check-in twice a day! ] The system explained at the right time. As expected, there was a limit to the number of check-ins¡­ Simon asked, ¡°Then, how can I get a large amount of cash?¡± [ Dear host, the more target you set in the system, the more reward you will get from their check-ins. ] [ Other than that, you may also get a large amount of cash by opening the Treasure Chest. ] So that was the case. Simon nodded his head. After understanding the rules, he shut down the system. He played with his phone and enjoyed his time alone. Meanwhile, the atmosphere downstairs was not so pleasant. In the dining room, the sisters were sitting at four different sides of the table. They looked at each other with dissatisfaction all over their faces. Lydia complained, ¡°It¡¯s just a meal delivery, why are you fighting with me? Great, he won¡¯t take anyone now!¡± ¡°You scared him,¡± Jane said lightly. Among the five sisters, besides the third sister Mary who was not around, Lydia was the only one who dared to argue with Jane. She pouted and said unwillingly, ¡°You¡¯re the one to blame. I was the first one to prepare food for him. It¡¯s all your fault!¡± ¡°He won¡¯t eat it even if we don¡¯t do so,¡± Catherine said in a low voice. She whispered, ¡°Greasy food is not that appetizing.¡± ¡°Fourth sister, even you despise me!¡± Lydia said aggrievedly, ¡°I¡¯ve even told you Simon¡¯s secret. I will never be nice to you again!¡± Seeing that Lydia was about to cry, Catherine realized that she had gone overboard. Without pointing fingers anymore, she ran to Lydia¡¯s side and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I shouldn¡¯t have said that.¡± Elizabeth was confused. She asked, ¡°What is Little Simon¡¯s secret?¡± However, they were too busy quarreling to answer the question. Elizabeth felt a little disappointed. She was a psychiatrist. Thus, she was more sensitive than the average person. After just one day, the sisters got to know their new brother well. They even knew his secret. She was the only one left out. It was the same when they were preparing lunch today. After taking a nap, she woke up to see Lydia making something in the kitchen for Simon. Later on, big sister and fourth sister joined in as well. Her mother was cheering beside them. With that, she joined the crowd and made something as well, despite feeling confused. Then, she got rejected. In the end, she was sitting in the dining room, watching her sisters¡¯ argument. The feeling of being excluded was unbearable. ¡°Alright, stop arguing!¡± Jane could not stand it anymore. She interrupted them and said to Elizabeth, ¡°Little Simon¡¯s secret is that everything will be fine if one has a good mood.¡± Thinking that big sister was trying to comfort her, Elizabeth smiled and nodded. ¡°Understood, big sister. I¡¯ll chat with Simon when I¡¯m free.¡± The second sister was the most reassuring. Jane returned a smile and looked at those two who were arguing. She slammed the table and said, ¡°Don¡¯t try to pressure Simon anymore in the future! Do you understand?¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll deliver the meal later. None of you are allowed to fight with me!¡± ¡°What? Why?¡± ¡°Because I¡¯m the first to know Simon¡¯s secret!¡± Lydia puffed out her chest and showed off her overnight results to everyone. She felt extremely proud. Jane rolled her eyes and said, ¡°Stop it. Aunt will be back today. I¡¯ll get her to send it later. None of you should interrupt!¡± ¡°It¡¯s the same for third sister when she¡¯s back. Tell her that there will be no more vicious competition! Do you understand?¡± No one dared to disobey the big sister¡¯s words. Catherine and Lydia answered feebly, ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Great, let¡¯s dismiss. I¡¯m going to the company. I¡¯m skipping dinner tonight,¡± said Jane as she took her crocodile leather bag, about to leave. Lydia said in surprise, ¡°It¡¯s so late now. Are you that busy in the company?¡± Speaking of that, Jane was filled with anger. She glared at Lydia, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have fallen into the enemy¡¯s trap if you were here to help! Stop it!¡± With that, Jane swung her purse and walked away in her high heels. Lydia felt embarrassed and made funny faces while facing the door. Then, she went back to her room. Catherine recalled that she had a mission at night, So, she went back to get ready as well. Elizabeth was left alone in the dining room. She stared at her big sister who had just left. Then, she looked at her younger sisters who were fighting. With her beautiful eyes blinking with a gentle light, she said, ¡°Perhaps, I should make time to chat with our little brother too..¡± Chapter 17 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Because of eldest sister Jane¡¯s order, no one went to disturb Simon after dinner. Simon was still wondering why did the sisters act like wolves when they delivered lunch in the afternoon, yet all of them became kind-hearted during dinner time. The sisters seemed to have reached a strange agreement when he was not there. So after dinner, Simon waited in his room until 10 o¡¯clock, but no one came to sign in! It felt like he had lost 100 million! Simon felt a little heartache, but fortunately, Catherine still had to come over that night to complete the mission, so it would not be a total loss. He did not know what the smart sister would do. Simon still had a little anticipation in his heart. In order to maintain enough energy, he covered himself with a thin blanket and went to bed early. It was 2:50 am. Simon was still having a dream when he heard the sound of the door lock being turned. He suddenly opened his eyes and the moonlight shone into the room. A black shadow stood at the door and crept towards him. It was Catherine! She really came! Simon kept lying flat and opened his eyes a little. He silently observed the fourth sister¡¯s every move. Catherine changed her long pajamas and wore a light-colored tank top and hot pants. Her graceful figure was faintly discernible under the moonlight. Simon couldn¡¯t help but take another look. He was a man after all. A beautiful sister walked over in a hot suit, saying that his heart was still as the water was a complete lie. For no reason, he recalled Catherine¡¯s wonderful underwear color and looked at Catherine¡¯s current appearance. It turned out that there was a burning heart hidden under her stiff academic body! The contrast was cute. ¡°Brother, are you asleep?¡± Catherine walked to the bedside and asked softly. Simon kept quiet and continued to pretend to be asleep. Seeing that he was asleep, Catherine was happy. She even specially poured a glass of water to pretend to send him water. Fortunately, he was asleep. She quietly sat beside Simon and felt that she was still a little far from the bedside. She raised her butt and moved forward by an arm¡¯s length. No, why was there a foreign object under her butt? Catherine grabbed below her. It was Simon¡¯s hand! She had just sat on Simon¡¯s hand! Hmm, wouldn¡¯t he touch her¡­ Catherine took a deep breath, her face was redder than a Valentine¡¯s Day rose. She looked at Simon again and saw that his breathing was low. He shouldn¡¯t be awake. Luckily, he did not wake up. Otherwise, she would really be a welfare giver! After suffering a loss, Catherine did not sit down anymore. She stood up shyly and waited obediently for the signing to be completed. Simon pretended to be asleep silently. The moment Catherine sat down just now almost made him unable to continue pretending. His hands still retained the feeling of touch just now. Warm. Soft. Through the tight cotton hot pants, there was a special kind of tightness. He didn¡¯t remember that the mission was to sit on his hand. What on earth was she trying to do? [Ding! At 3 am, the target has been detected arriving at Host¡¯s room. There are still 15 centimeters to the designated location.] [Please complete the mission within 10 minutes.] Hmm? Accurate to centimeters? The requirements were too harsh. Why didn¡¯t the system mention the designated location in advance? Simon rolled his eyes in his heart. He was pretending to be asleep. How should he deal with it? Suddenly, he had an idea. If he kicked off the quilt, Catherine would cover him with the quilt, and she would definitely get close to the headboard. Then, he kicked the quilt to the foot of the bed. Seeing this, Catherine picked up the quilt at the foot of the bed and gently covered Simon with it. She even tucked the corner of the quilt to Simon¡¯s back. ¡°You¡¯re already so big, why are you still kicking the quilt?¡± Catherine moved closer to Simon¡¯s face and felt that he was a little cute. Simon was proud of himself. He was simply too smart. He summoned the system, ¡°Have she reached the designated location?¡± [Respected Host, sorry, there¡¯s still three centimeters left.] F*ck! Simon could not help but swear. Who was the mission testing! Why did it feel like he was the one working hard! ¡°Let¡¯s forget about three centimeters.¡± Simon bargained with the system. [Dear Host, I¡¯m sorry. In order to show you that I¡¯m responsible, I can¡¯t even miss 0.1 centimeters.] Simon was so annoyed by the system that he lost his temper. If he had known earlier, he would have drawn a circle at the head of the bed and told Catherine exactly where to stand. There was no other choice. He could only kick the quilt once more. Hmm? Why couldn¡¯t he kick it? Simon exerted strength with his left foot and realized that the quilt had wrapped around his body. No wonder he couldn¡¯t kick it. He complained in his heart, ¡°Fourth Sister, you¡¯re too considerate!¡± ¡°Why isn¡¯t there a mission completion notification yet?¡± Catherine thought in puzzlement. She looked at the alarm clock at the bedside and saw that it was five minutes past three. The system actually did not make any movements. She yawned silently. Catherine only felt her eyelids become heavy and her heart became anxious. What if Simon woke up? How was she going to explain standing by his bedside in the middle of the night? Having nightmares? Afraid of cockroaches? Looking at a luminous watch? None of them worked. She scratched her hair in frustration and began to call the system in her heart. ¡°System, the time has long passed!¡± Thank God! Simon was ecstatic. Now that Catherine had called out to the system, he could talk to her! [Hello, Target. The designated position is at three centimeters to the upper right. Please move to the designated location.] ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier!¡± Catherine took a small step. Simon let out a sigh of relief silently. The system¡¯s voice sounded again. [Target Catherine has reached the designated position. The ten-minute countdown has begun.] Hearing that there was still a time limit, Simon¡¯s breathing stopped. How could it be so strict! On the other side, Catherine stood at the designated position for ten seconds. Thinking that the mission had been completed, she picked up her cup and prepared to retreat. She did not take the initiative to call the system, and she could no longer hear Simon¡¯s words. Oh no! If he did not stop her, the mission would fail! He had no choice, he had to go all out! ¡°Eh? Fourth Sister, why are you here?¡± Simon rubbed his eyes and said. When she suddenly heard the voice, Catherine was shocked. Her hand was unsteady, and the water in the cup splashed onto Simon¡¯s quilt. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry!¡± Catherine panicked, and she apologized while brushing the water. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Fourth Sister,¡± Simon said with a smile. ¡°You have wet my quilt. You have to stay for ten minutes, right?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Simon, I didn¡¯t mean it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, Fourth Sister.¡± Simon scratched his head and pretended to be confused, ¡°But it¡¯s so late, why are you in my room?¡± It was abnormal not to ask, so Simon could only pretend to be stupid. ¡°Uh¡­¡± Catherine evaded her eyes and stuttered, ¡°I¡­ I came to cover you with the quilt.¡± ¡°I see. Thank you, Fourth Sister,¡± Simon said obediently. After saying that, neither of them found another topic to talk about. The room fell into silence. The strange atmosphere made the two of them, who had their own thoughts, very uncomfortable. Catherine couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Let me help you change the quilt.¡± Hearing this, Simon immediately stopped her, ¡°No need! I¡¯ll go get it myself!¡± Then he smiled awkwardly and found a new quilt from the wardrobe. He had to move around to change the quilt. If he moved, the mission would fail! However, Catherine could not see the countdown of the system. She came in late at night uninvited, and the water was splashed on someone else¡¯s bed. Anyone would want to find a hole in the ground to hide in and bid farewell to society from now on. Catherine felt uncomfortable all over. She laughed dryly and said, ¡°You have a new quilt. Then I won¡¯t bother you anymore. Bye-bye.¡± Simon thought to himself. ¡°If she leaves, I¡¯ll be in trouble!¡± Chapter 18 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Seeing that Catherine was walking out, Simon quickly stopped her. ¡°Fourth Sister, don¡¯t go!¡± If she left, the night would have been wasted! Seeing Simon was stopping her from leaving, Catherine turned around in confusion and asked, ¡°Is there anything else?¡± Simon blinked his eyes and put on a pitiful look. ¡°Well, Fourth Sister, I just had a nightmare.¡± ¡°Can you stay here with me for a while?¡± When Catherine heard this, she remembered the journal she had read before. It said that the surrounding environment would affect people¡¯s dreams. She thought that she had intruded into the room without permission and disturbed Simon, causing him to have nightmares. Her heart was filled with guilt. She sat by the bed and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯ll stay here with you.¡± ¡°You won¡¯t be afraid if we talk about something happy.¡± ¡°Thank you, Fourth Sister. You¡¯re so good to me.¡± ¡°Silly child.¡± Catherine looked at Simon gently. ¡°We¡¯re family. Of course, I have to be good to you.¡± Simon felt a warmth in his heart. He had just transmigrated when the original host¡¯s parents passed away. During university, he only cared about his studies and was not close to his roommates. Now, he suddenly had an aunt and sisters. Although the aunt and sisters always wanted to arrange his marriage, he still felt at home. ¡°But what should we talk about? Why don¡¯t you let me tell you a joke?¡± Catherine suggested. ¡°Okay.¡± Simon had a faint sense of anticipation. A joke told by a genius student should be very meaningful. Seeing that he was very happy, Catherine cleared her throat and said with a smile. ¡°Then I¡¯ll tell you my best joke. Listen well.¡± ¡°One hot summer day, two bananas were walking on the road, and the banana in front suddenly felt very hot.¡± ¡°He said, ¡®it¡¯s so hot, I want to take off my clothes.''¡± ¡°Then he peeled the skin off and the banana at the back fell. Hahahaha! Isn¡¯t that funny!¡± After Catherine told the joke, she covered her stomach and laughed hysterically. In the summer, Simon shivered and said with a dry smile, ¡°That¡¯s funny¡­¡± What a corny joke¡­ But Catherine felt that it was funny, and the laughter grew louder and louder, and it didn¡¯t stop for a long time. Simon was worried that it would disturb the people downstairs and cause unnecessary misunderstandings. He covered Catherine¡¯s mouth and asked her to keep quiet. ¡°Fourth Sister, your laughter is too loud. It will disturb others.¡± ¡°Oh, oh.¡± Catherine nodded and said embarrassedly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it¡¯s not funny, right?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s quite funny. I¡¯m in a much better mood.¡± Simon said it was funny, but there was no smile on his face. Catherine felt a little embarrassed. She usually read boring theses and periodicals and rarely saw jokes. If she didn¡¯t make Simon laugh on that night, it would be a waste of her high education! ¡°Let me tell you another joke!¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Seeing that Catherine was full of confidence, Simon could only cooperate. However, she really didn¡¯t have the talent to tell jokes. After telling him several jokes, she was the first to laugh. She laughed until she was out of breath, and Simon was dumbfounded when he heard it. After listening to a few of them with great difficulty, Simon was so bored that he was about to fall asleep. [Ding! Catherine has completed the late-night signing mission and obtained a treasure box!] At this moment, the system notification sounded. Simon suddenly came back to his senses from his half-asleep state. It turned out that they had spent enough time. Looking at Catherine again, she was also stunned. Simon knew that she had also received a reward. [Ding! Congratulations to Target for completing the late-night signing-in mission. Reward: Fade black eye circles +5] Eh? Only completed now? Catherine secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, Simon stopped her, or the mission would have failed! But in the darkness, Catherine could not see how her skin had become better. On the contrary, her heart was filled with frustration. She tried hard to tell a joke to Simon, but he was actually about to fall asleep. He didn¡¯t give her any face at all! Thinking of this, Catherine took the opportunity to lie down on the bed, her graceful figure lying in front of Simon. What was going on? Why was she lying down after receiving the reward? ¡°Fourth Sister, are you alright?¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Catherine said with a smile and dissatisfaction, ¡°Are my jokes that boring? You¡¯re already asleep!¡± So it was because of this. The top student¡¯s desire to win was really strange. Simon didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry, ¡°No, it¡¯s time to sleep now.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care!¡± Catherine said shamelessly, ¡°I can¡¯t sleep now, you have to take responsibility!¡± Taking responsibility for what? She shouldn¡¯t say such misleading words in the middle of the night. Simon shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, ¡°Then Fourth Sister, lie down.¡± Huh? Now, it was Catherine¡¯s turn to be speechless. Her face was red and her eyes were wide open. She said shyly, ¡°I have lie down properly¡­ What are you going to do?¡± Realizing that she had misunderstood, Simon waved his hand and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you couldn¡¯t sleep? I know a set of massage techniques that can help you sleep.¡± ¡°After I help you massage, you can sleep.¡± ¡°Massage? You even know this?¡± Catherine asked suspiciously. ¡°I¡¯ve learned one or two moves,¡± Simon said modestly. He had never used the expert-level massage technique that the system had rewarded him last time. He took this opportunity to test it. Unintentionally, Simon had actually spoken to Catherine¡¯s heart. Previously, in order to research the subject, she couldn¡¯t sleep at night and couldn¡¯t wake up during the day. Her biological clock was completely messed up. When it came to night, she was full of energy and did not feel sleepy at all. When she heard that Simon knew how to massage, Catherine was a little tempted. When she thought that there would be physical contact, her face turned red again. ¡°Alright then.¡± She obediently leaned against the place where Simon had just slept. He did not expect Catherine to agree so readily. Simon was a little excited and stared at the shiny back. She did not seem to be wearing anything under her vest. After looking at it for a few seconds, Simon coughed lightly and turned his head away in embarrassment. He knelt beside Catherine and held her slender waist with both hands, pressing his thumb on the acupuncture points. ¡°Yes!¡± Catherine could not help but snort softly and laughed, ¡°It¡¯s so itchy!¡± ¡°Endure it for a while, Fourth Sister. If I use force, it won¡¯t itch anymore.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Catherine buried her face into the pillow and bit her lips, trying hard not to laugh out loud because of the itch. Simon¡¯s fingers exerted force and slid up and down Catherine¡¯s waistline. It had to be said that the Bennet family¡¯s genes were very good. Even if Catherine spent all day reading research materials and basically did not participate in any exercise, her curvaceous figure was still able to kill a large group of girls in an instant. She was a true beauty scholar. ¡°Fourth Sister, do you feel better?¡± Simon pressed on Catherine¡¯s spine and gently pressed down. ¡°It¡¯s numb and swollen, but it¡¯s so comfortable,¡± Catherine said shyly as she bit the pillow. Simon¡¯s hands seemed to have magic power. It was so comfortable that she almost cried out. Moreover, her eyelids were very heavy. She really wanted to sleep. No, it was still too early to sleep in Simon¡¯s room! Thinking of this, Catherine got up with a red face and shyly pushed Simon away. She ran away. Simon stared at the open door in confusion. She was about to fall asleep, why was she suddenly awake? Chapter 19 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Four in the morning. Simon, who had been tossing and turning for an hour, could not fall asleep. After Catherine ran away, he stared at his hand in a daze for quite a while. The soft feeling seemed to remain on his fingertips, and there was even a faint fragrance of her body. Simon shook his head twice and threw out all his distracting thoughts! He was a man, and he had to put his career first! He opened the system and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s my treasure box?¡± [Ding! Due to Host¡¯s completion of the mission, a small treasure box has dropped.] [Congratulations, Host, there are now two unknown treasure boxes in the system.] Hmm? There were additional rewards? Haha, this night was not wasted. ¡°System, I have a big treasure box and a small treasure box. Can I keep the big treasure box to continue leveling up?¡± [No, there are three levels for treasure boxes: small, medium, and large.] [The big treasure box cannot be leveled up again, but it can be merged with other treasure boxes.] After listening to the system¡¯s explanation, Simon understood. The signing-time allowed small treasure boxes to be upgraded to medium or large treasure boxes. If they were merged, they could receive other rewards! ¡°Is there a limit to the number of treasure boxes that can be merged?¡± Simon asked. [Currently, the level limit is at least two, at most five. However, the more there are, the greater the randomness.] There was randomness? That was right. The rewards that could be merged should be related to the original rewards in the treasure boxes. It could be money changing into skills, or it could be skills changing into money. Just like in business, if one wanted to pursue high returns, one had to bear high risks. It was just two treasure boxes, he could afford to gamble! ¡°System, treasure box fusion!¡± [Understood! Congratulations Host for obtaining a luxurious treasure box!] A golden light flashed before his eyes, and the luxurious box that was shining with a golden light appeared in front of Simon. He had made the right bet! Simon snapped his fingers and could not wait to open the treasure box. [Congratulations, Host, you have received the ¡®Creative Information Technology Company¡¯!] Information technology company? Was it very high-class? After seeing the Bennet family¡¯s financial resources, Simon was no longer interested in small companies. Simon was a little confused and quickly checked the information on the literature website. Treasure box reward: Creative Information Technology Company Its industry: Creative literature website Main Business: 1. Excavate creators, including but not limited to writers, directors, screenwriters, cartoonists¡­ 2. Strengthen IP operations. Estimated value: 100 million. He remembered now! It was that Creative Literature Website! It incubated a lot of literary IP, and then animates, movies, and TV god-level literary websites? Recently, two-thirds of the popular adaptations on the entire internet had been created and distributed! He was now the boss of this company! Could the system still directly give out company? Was this reasonable? [Of course, it¡¯s reasonable, there¡¯s no need to doubt it.] The system answered confidently, and its appearance was too funny. Awesome! Simon was in a good mood, and he lay down on the soft mattress again. With this company as his starting point, his desire to catch up with the Hilton Group was no longer a dream! It was really interesting! Kacha! The crisp sound of the door lock came from downstairs. Simon got up alertly. It was not that he was not worried about the security system of the mansion, but he was just a little curious. It was five o¡¯clock in the morning. Who would enter the house at this time? The servants lived on the first floor. It was very suspicious to go out at this time. However, he had to go and take a look. He walked quietly to the door. Simon opened the door a little. Jane, dressed in a business suit, leaned against the door. She kicked off the red high heels on her feet and stepped on the ground with her black-silk feet. She staggered on the living room sofa and raised her arms to cover her eyes. Eldest sister? Why did she come back at this time? Looking at her motionless appearance, she seemed to be asleep. Recalling the scene of his eldest sister caring for him, Simon took a thin blanket and went downstairs to cover Jane. ¡°Simon? Why aren¡¯t you asleep?¡±Jane moved her arm away and asked in puzzlement. Simon smiled. ¡°Sorry to disturb you, Eldest Sister.¡± ¡°No, I just want to sit for a while. I have to go out later.¡± Speaking of going out, Jane¡¯s face was filled with exhaustion, as if the powerless look just now was just Simon¡¯s illusion. She was still the president of the company and the Queen of the business world. Her disguise was very good, but Simon saw through it at a glance. He pinched the thin quilt that Jane kicked away and covered her again. ¡°Simon, thank you for your kindness, but I really have something to do,¡± Jane declined tactfully. ¡°What is more important than your body?¡± Simon¡¯s tone was tough as he pushed her back to the sofa. Jane was slightly surprised. Usually, she was the only one who gave orders to others. Why was she so obedient when Simon asked her to lie down obediently? After lying down for two seconds, Jane felt dizzy and felt like she was about to fall asleep. No! She could not fall asleep! She forced her bloodshot eyes to open, but she did not want to go against Simon¡¯s good intentions. She bit her fingers and thought about whether there was a way to achieve both. Got it! With her elbow supporting her upper body, Jane patted the seat beside her and said in a commanding tone, ¡°Come over here.¡± Simon thought that his eldest sister had something to say, so he obediently went over. As soon as he sat down, he felt his legs sink. Jane naturally rested her head on Simon¡¯s thigh and let out a comfortable sigh. ¡°Little Simon, quickly talk to me, or else I will fall asleep,¡± Jane said. The knee pillow was a little too intimate, but seeing that Jane was so confident, Simon had no reason to be shy. He said softly, ¡°Is there anything troublesome in the company?¡± Jane felt a headache whenever she talked about the company. There was a hint of annoyance in Jane¡¯s tone. ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious. I met a villain!¡± Under normal circumstances, it was the default rule not to spread the news from within the company. She spoke vaguely, not because she treated her new brother as an outsider. It was because none of her four younger sisters liked listening to her talk about the company. Usually, they would pretend to listen to her when she spoke because they were intimidated by her. However, other than a few comforting words, they could not say anything else. It was better to find a wizard to speculate with the crystal ball and say a lot of good things when they were paid. Gradually, she did not want to talk about the company at home. ¡°If it¡¯s convenient, I can hear about the company,¡± Simon said with a smile. Hearing this, Jane was not sleepy at all. She got up from the sofa. It was great that he wanted to hear about it! She said in surprise, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll tell you everything!¡± The Hilton Group had countless industries, including the film and television industry. Not long ago, it had taken a fancy to a pretty good script and wanted to buy it. Originally, Jane did not need to personally ask about such a small matter, but a company had offered a high price, clearly wanting to snatch it away. Jane was already about to sign the contract with the script author at that time and did not want to give it away. That author was very trustworthy and chose Hilton. Speaking up to this point, Jane pinched the space between her eyebrows wearily. ¡°At that time, that author said nice things, wanting to hitch a ride on the company.¡± ¡°Who knew that he turned his face and betrayed us!¡± ¡°What did he do?¡± Simon¡¯s expression changed. He dared to harm the Hilton Group. Who was so bold! Chapter 20 - The Other Side Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°I was busy with other things at the time and didn¡¯t ask about it. I left it to the people in the department to take full responsibility,¡± Jane said. This was very understandable. The Hilton Group was so big, so it was impossible to leave everything to Jane. The people under her definitely needed to work after receiving their pay. Soon, the script was put into production. She didn¡¯t expect the author of the script to suddenly make a comeback! ¡°Then he actually accused us on the internet of bullying him and forced him to sign the overbearing clause!¡± Jane said angrily. Because the methods were too dirty, she didn¡¯t even bother to remember his name. Simon was a little puzzled. For a big company like Hilton, the contract for signing the script had a template. The person-in-charge would evaluate the value of the script, the author¡¯s ability, and then make some slight changes. Why would there suddenly be an overbearing clause? Then, an idea flashed through his mind. Simon asked, ¡°Did the person-in-charge make the decision on his own?¡± Jane nodded weakly. ¡°That¡¯s right. When the person-in-charge saw that the author was easy to talk to, he had a devious idea and signed the authorship rights of that person.¡± ¡°It¡¯s equivalent to a contract of selling someone, only allowing that person to serve us.¡± The person-in-charge¡¯s heart was quite vicious. He actually dared to scam people like this. An author with slightly normal brains would not sign this condition but that author really did sign it! It was an obvious trap. The person-in-charge thought that he had picked up a bargain. ¡°Did that author stir up public opinion after that?¡± Simon asked. When one wanted to twist one¡¯s arm, public opinion was the standard setting. Jane was quite surprised by her brother¡¯s guess. Her bright eyes revealed a little surprise. She raised her hand and gestured, ¡°Continue.¡± ¡°For Hilton to pick the script, it proves that the author¡¯s ability is not bad. There must be a considerable number of loyal fans.¡± ¡°The group is indeed unreasonable in this matter, so the fans can lead passersby to side with the author.¡± ¡°Even if the person-in-charge of the script is pushed out, the netizens will think that they¡¯ve found a scapegoat, and their comments will make things worse.¡± After saying that, Simon got up and poured two glasses of water. Having said that, they were going to spend a longer time talking about this matter. Jane nodded happily. Simon¡¯s logic was clear and logical, and the facts were exactly the same as what he said. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Jane praised. ¡°The group¡¯s reputation has been damaged, and there¡¯s even a black PR who fabricated a black history, causing the group¡¯s share price to fall.¡± ¡°It really was premeditated!¡± Simon frowned and thought seriously. Hilton Group was already the head company, and there were very few companies that could compete with it. Small companies playing tricks were courting death. At present, the most suspicious company was the company that robbed the script. ¡°What¡¯s the name of the company that robbed the script?¡± Simon asked abruptly. Jane took out her phone from her bag and showed Simon the company¡¯s information. Simon looked down and read it carefully. Name: Sanno Network Co. Ltd. Main business: newspapers, magazines, and publications When it was founded¡­ Seeing the third column, Simon knew that there was no need to continue reading, so he returned the phone to Jane. Sanno was founded less than three months ago, and they dared to openly challenge Hilton! It was obviously a shell company, used by someone to trap Hilton! There must be someone behind it! Simon¡¯s eyes changed slightly, and he looked straight into Jane¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°Sister, do you have any leads?¡± Seeing the anger jumping in Simon¡¯s eyes, Jane¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He looked so reliable. The sudden thought made Jane shy away and said with a faint smile. ¡°Not yet. I¡¯m thinking of a way to restore the company¡¯s reputation.¡± ¡°Is there anything I can help you with?¡± Simon asked with concern. This sentence hit Jane¡¯s heart. No matter how strong she was, there would come a time when she would not be able to hold on. When she learned how to read and learned how to manage the company from her mother, she was already used to stress and taking care of others. But that day¡­ she actually wanted to rely on Simon a little¡­ ¡°No need.¡± Jane tucked her hair behind her ear. ¡°I can handle it, don¡¯t worry.¡± Simon was slightly stunned and shut his mouth obediently. Indeed, he could not ask her anymore. If he asked her again, it would be time for him to go to the company and help her. However, the way eldest sister looked like she was in a terrible state made him feel really uncomfortable. He had to think of a way to help her. Got it! Since he could not help her on the surface, he could just use a cheat! ¡°System, bind Jane!¡± [Ding! Target eldest sister Jane detected. Target binding successful!] ¡°Eldest sister system¡¯s name is ¡®Return Rate System¡¯!¡± [Yes, Sir!] Looking at Jane again, she was slightly stunned at first. Then, she smiled at Simon, covered her ears, and walked to the dining area. ¡°Who¡¯s talking?¡± Jane sat at the dining table and looked around, looking for the source of the voice. [Congratulations, Target is bound to the ¡®Return Rate System¡¯. It can randomly increase the rate of return on the basic profit!] Increase the rate of return! Jane¡¯s eyes lit up. There was such a good thing? She immediately took out her merchant nature. ¡°What is the rate of return?¡± She accepted it really quickly. As expected of eldest sister. [Rate of return is random¡­] ¡°Random? There has never been any random in my place! Give me an accurate number!¡± Jane said coldly. Hmm? Simon thought that something was wrong. Why did she seem to have changed into a different person? Did the gentle and virtuous eldest sister suddenly turn into the iron lady? ¡°I¡¯ll give you two minutes.¡± Jane lowered her voice. There was no room for doubt! F*ck! Simon¡¯s hair stood on end. So this was the real eldest sister! [The return rate is based on the amount of profit of the investment company. It has to be judged according to the potential of the target of the investment.] [I¡¯m sorry that the system is unable to calculate for you in the current situation.] ¡°Useless!¡± Jane scolded. If the system worked in the Hilton Group, this kind of low efficiency would have made him pack up and leave! Simon didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. In front of the system, the eldest sister¡¯s imposing manner didn¡¯t decrease at all. [First mission: quickly find the investment target and redeem the reputation of the group.] ¡°Are you teaching me how to do things?¡± Jane asked back, her sharp eyes like a knife. [I don¡¯t dare, I¡¯m just suggesting¡­] ¡°Hmph, you better not let me waste my time!¡± Jane snorted coldly. Then she returned to the living room and sat down. Simon was scared out of his wits. What a terrifying woman, she even dared to threaten the system! ¡°Eldest Sister, were you hungry when you went to the dining area just now? Let me cook something for you.¡± Simon tried his best to squeeze out a smile, pretending as if nothing had happened. Jane touched her brother¡¯s cheek and said with a smile, ¡°No need. The secretary will send it over later.¡± She looked at the clock on the wall and felt that it was about time. She said gently, ¡°I¡¯m going out soon. You should go to sleep.¡± Her voice was so gentle that it was like a stream running through the stone, which made Simon¡¯s ears numb. It was as if she had discovered a shocking secret. His eldest sister seemed to have two personalities. The insufferably arrogant female CEO smiled gently and movingly in front of him just now. Thinking back, he seemed to have disobeyed her before¡­ But fortunately, his eldest sister was very gentle to him. Hearing Jane¡¯s words, Simon smiled. ¡°Alright, be careful on your way. No matter how busy you are at work, you have to take care of your health.¡± After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs. ¡°Wait.¡± Jane suddenly stopped him and said with a smile in her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m preparing to increase the competitiveness of the company. I want to invest in a company.¡± ¡°Jewelry, clothing, film and television. Which industry do you think is better for me to invest in?¡± Why did she suddenly ask him? Simon knew that she did not like to wait, so he casually said, ¡°Film and television. The film and television industry is great, isn¡¯t it?¡± Wait! Eldest sis probably didn¡¯t want to make such a hasty decision¡­ He was just casually saying! Chapter 21 - Creative Literature Website Was Not Bad, Buy! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio At 6:30 in the morning, when the sky turned bright, the secretary drove over to pick up Jane. Simon went back to his room on the third floor and recalled how Jane had smiled and said nothing before she left. Why did she suddenly ask about his views on the industry? The eldest sister was cautious and shrewd. She would not invest in film and television rashly just because of one sentence, right? As a woman, she should know more about jewelry and clothing. Why did he say film and television? Simon didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. Eldest sister looked like a completely different person in front of the system. She even showed disdain towards the rewards. It was more efficient to talk to her face to face than through the system. Now, he could only hope that the first mission went smoothly and let the eldest sis have a taste of the sweetness. After all, the random reward could also improve her breasts and skin, and improve her physical condition. No woman would refuse the opportunity to become more perfect, and his sister was no exception! ¡­ In the business car. Jane sat in the back seat and took a bite of the soft bread in her hand. Her other hand slid across the tablet, and her eyes were glued to the text message. ¡°It suits your appetite, right?¡± The secretary, Barbara, asked nervously. ¡°Yes,¡± Jane replied casually with a simple syllable. Barbara pushed the black-rimmed glasses on her face, and a cloud of doubt arose in her heart. She was Jane¡¯s secretary. She had just started working for three months and was responsible for many things, including preparing three meals for Jane and full-time transportation. The nature of her work made her the person closest to Jane. Through the three months of observation, Barbara could already judge Jane¡¯s mood from her micro expression. And then according to Jane¡¯s condition, she would selectively report her work. Barbara found that President Jane seemed to be a different person on that day. She couldn¡¯t help peeping through the rearview mirror. Yesterday, President Jane was still irritable like a fire-breathing dinosaur, but when she went home in the morning, she was in a good mood? Could it be because of former President Bennet? Barbara thought about it but felt that it was impossible. She had heard in the company that the previous CEO had not asked about the situation of the group for a long time because of his poor health. The important decisions of the group were all handed over to Jane! But if it was not for the previous CEO, who would have the guts to smooth the fur of a lion? Barbara could not help but be a little curious about the identity of this brave warrior. She had gone too far. Barbara took a few more glances and confirmed that Jane was really in a good mood. She quickly struck while the iron was hot and said everything that needed to be said. She carefully asked, ¡°President Jane, about the investment mentioned in yesterday¡¯s meeting, do you think¡­¡± Jane did not even raise her head. ¡°I¡¯ve decided to invest in film and television.¡± What? The unexpected answer made Barbara frown. How could it be? During the meeting yesterday, the manager of the investment department had drawn up a few options for food, jewelry, and clothing. These industries were all businesses that the group was familiar with. They might earn less, but they would definitely not lose money. Why did she suddenly decide to invest in film and television that day? ¡°President Jane, do you think that film and television have a better future than jewelry?¡± Barbara could not help but ask. After all, the secretary had to convey the President¡¯s intentions to the rest of the company. Many things needed to be clarified. Otherwise, if she did not know anything, she would not be qualified to work by President Jane¡¯s side. ¡°Someone gave me some advice, saying that it would be better to invest in film and television.¡± Actually, it wasn¡¯t much of a suggestion. Jane could tell that Simon was just saying it casually but she felt that what her brother said made a lot of sense. Investing in film and television was not only to make money but also to turn back the bad reputation! The Hilton Group¡¯s reputation would never be tarnished by villains! ¡°But yesterday¡¯s proposed direction was jewelry¡­ the information I have¡­¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Jane lifted her eyelids and interrupted Barbara softly. There was not a single word, just a simple look in her eyes. Barbara was very observant and automatically swallowed the rest of her words. She took out her most energetic voice and said, ¡°I understand, I will prepare the information immediately!¡± ¡°Very good, put it on my desk before two o¡¯clock in the afternoon.¡± Jane nodded in satisfaction. Another reason why she decided to invest in film and television was that Jane wanted to see Simon¡¯s business vision. Part of the reason why the Hilton Group was able to develop steadily until now was because of the leader¡¯s sharp vision. He had his own understanding and judgment of the market. It was easier said than done to follow the wind. She had studied by her mother¡¯s side for more than ten years, but she had only learned a little. Recalling the past, Jane quietly sighed, She was no longer in the mood to read her messages. She put her tablet aside and propped her head up with one hand to look at the scenery outside the window. Barbara noticed the relaxed Jane and thought that she would not be blamed if she spoke now. She said timidly, ¡°President Jane, I have an immature idea about the film and television investment.¡± ¡°Speak!¡± ¡°If we buy a novel website, we can get a high-quality script and let the authors give us positive publicity.¡± Jane found it interesting. She stopped looking out of the window and stared at the back of Barbara¡¯s head. Barbara was nervous about being stared at. She was worried that she was too naive and would be despised by President Jane. Her hands that were holding the steering wheel were sweating non-stop. Unexpectedly, Jane did not say anything. Instead, she held her hands and waited for her to continue. Barbara swallowed her saliva and mustered up her courage to say, ¡°Online novels have developed for nearly a decade. They have already gained a considerable audience.¡± ¡°Moreover, many IP addresses that are movie-based also have a fan base. They can take care of the bottom line. It¡¯s safer.¡± Barbara did not know if she was showing off in front of an expert but she just wanted to say what she was thinking to give Jane a reference. ¡°Well said. Continue.¡± ¡°That¡­ That¡¯s all,¡± Barbara replied softly. ¡°Is there a suitable target website?¡± Jane asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Barbara nodded like she was pounding garlic. ¡°Creative Literature Website. It has a large number of fans, and the type of web novel is also very suitable for the later stages of IP operations.¡± ¡°I heard that the founder is a university student. It¡¯s not difficult to acquire.¡± Jane had also mentioned this name. She heard that it was a small website, but the treatment was very good. The authors were willing to post on it. However, this was strange. Since Creative Literature Website had a lot of IP, why had no one bought it? The fat was hanging on the branches. No one couldn¡¯t see it. Could it be that there was a big tree behind the small website? Instinct told Jane that this literary website was definitely not simple! There was no time to waste! ¡°Barbara, give me the information on the Creative Literature Website before lunch.¡± Jane was very enthusiastic about the acquisition and directly brought forward the time of handing in the information by two hours. Barbara, who had not had the time to be happy, wanted to cry but had no tears. If she had known it was so urgent, she would have said it later! Unfortunately, Jane was a stickler for efficiency. Since she had already made up her mind, she would definitely act as soon as possible! Regardless of whether or not someone was backing up the Creative Literature Website, the prey that she had her eyes on must be captured! Hmph! Wanted to use public opinion to destroy Hilton? Dream On! Chapter 22 - Eldest Sis Was Very Angry. The Consequences Would Be Very Serious! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Bennet mansion. Simon was holding his computer as he sat on the bay window and browsed through the Creative Literature Website. ¡°Buzz buzz!¡± Just as he was fully focused, his phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Simon hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button. ¡°Hello.¡± A gentle female voice sounded. ¡°Is this Mr. Simon?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me.¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. Simon. I¡¯m the manager of Creative. My name is Mona.¡± Someone from the Creative Company came looking for him so quickly? ¡°Hello, Miss Mona. What can I do for you?¡± ¡°Haha, Mr. Simon is really forgetful. You bought our company yesterday. There are some important documents that you need to see in person.¡± ¡°Who was in charge of these jobs in the past?¡± Simon asked. He had just taken over the company, so he had to ask about the relevant matters first. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it was my oversight. When Mr. Hughes was the president, there were people in charge of these things. Now that Mr. Hughes has left, the managers don¡¯t know if you are willing to use them again, so they asked me to ask.¡± Mr. Hughes should be the person who transferred the company. Judging from the company¡¯s operating status, these people should be very professional. So, he wanted to keep using them! Why not? He didn¡¯t want to be like his eldest sister, running a company and exhausting herself to death. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Even if Hughes leaves, the personnel in the company will not change,¡± Simon said. ¡°Okay, I understand. I¡¯ll pass on your message right away.¡± ¡°Thank you for your hard work. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll hang up now.¡± ¡°Please wait a moment!¡± Mona raised her voice. ¡°There¡¯s another important matter. A company wants to acquire the Creative Literature Website. What do you think we should do about it?¡± Acquire? What a joke? Creative Literature Website was the reason why it was founded in the first place. If they bought the facade, the company would immediately disband. Besides, it hadn¡¯t been twenty-four hours since he took over the company. How could he agree to the acquisition? ¡°Not for sale!¡± Simon said firmly. Mona was obviously in a difficult position. She stammered, ¡°The other company¡­ is not easy to deal with. Do you want to come out and meet them¡­¡± Simon understood what Mona meant. Even if they did not agree to the acquisition, the two sides would sit down and have a good talk, giving face to each other. If the deal didn¡¯t work out, they could still be friends. However, Simon hated bullying people. Why did they have to buy his website and ask him to treat them to a meal? They were clearly bullying people! ¡°I won¡¯t see them!¡± Simon said angrily, ¡°If they want to see me, ask them to come personally! If they dare to make things difficult for you, tell them the exact words!¡± ¡°I¡­ understand,¡± Mona agreed obediently. ¡°There are still a few important documents. I¡¯ve sent them to your email.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± After saying that, Simon hung up the phone. ¡°Ding! Ding! Ding!¡± The email notification rang and Simon clicked on it. As he read it, he remembered that he was going to be acquired. The market value of the Creative Company was 100 million. It was considered a medium-sized company in San Tico City. It had been established a few years and its development momentum was fluctuating. However, it was moving forward and had long established itself in San Tico City. From what Mona said, it seemed that the other party still wanted to make a barbaric acquisition. Who was so confident? Simon thought about the big companies in San Tico, but he had no idea. ¡°Thud! Thud!¡± Suddenly, a muffled sound of something being smashed came from downstairs. It was exactly two hits. Strangely, after the sound, it was quiet downstairs, as if it was a deserted street in the middle of the night. Why was no one there to take a look? Simon opened the door and walked out, puzzled. Just as he reached the second floor, a warm hand grabbed Simon¡¯s clothes and pulled him into a room. Simon lost his balance and fell to the ground. ¡°Second Sister, why are you so strong!¡± Lydia exclaimed softly, ¡°What if you break it?¡± Elizabeth quickly helped Simon up and said gently, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Simon, I didn¡¯t mean it!¡± Rubbing his hurt thigh, Simon waved his hand and said, ¡°Second Sister, I¡¯m fine, but why are you pulling me?¡± After saying that, Simon quickly blinked his eyes twice. Because he saw Lydia wearing her silk pajamas inside out, the corner of her skirt was still hanging on her waist, revealing her long white legs. There was also aqua blue¡­ Simon lowered his head and pretended not to see. What kind of emergency was it that she wore her pajamas inside out? Only then did Lydia realize that her clothes were disheveled. She hurriedly pulled a thin blanket from the bed and draped it over her. With a red face, she said, ¡°It¡¯s so embarrassing. Second Sister, why didn¡¯t you tell me!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t have time.¡± Elizabeth covered her mouth and laughed. ¡°In any case, don¡¯t make a sound. Just hide here with me.¡± Hide? Who were they hiding? Seeing the two of them as if they were facing a great enemy, it seemed like they had entered a state of battle. Simon tilted his head and asked in puzzlement, ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear the two ¡®thuds¡¯ downstairs just now?¡± Lydia said in horror, ¡°That was the sound of Eldest Sister throwing her high heels!¡± ¡°Every time Eldest Sister is in a bad mood, she will throw her high heels when she enters the door. Just Chanel alone has broken more than ten pairs of high heels!¡± As she said that, she revealed a pained expression and said that she missed those shoes. Seeing that she was immersed in the world of high heels, Simon knew that he would not be able to get anything out of her. He turned around and asked Elizabeth. ¡°Eldest Sis is not happy. We should comfort her.¡± Elizabeth shook her head. ¡°Please don¡¯t. When Eldest Sis is angry, please don¡¯t pass by her. Otherwise, we all will be implicated.¡± Then, she looked at Lydia sympathetically and continued. ¡°One time, when Lydia just came back from outside, she bumped into the angry Eldest Sis. Then, Eldest Sis caught her doing sales at the company without any explanation!¡± ¡°You know how hard it is to do sales. Most importantly, she didn¡¯t give her a single salary!¡± ¡°So every time, they would hide in my room.¡± Ah? That was really bad! Simon didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. His sister¡¯s way of punishing people was too cute. ¡°In short, in the future, if you hear the sound of high heels falling, hide and don¡¯t come out!¡± Elizabeth kindly reminded him. ¡°Thank you, Second Sister.¡± Simon smiled. ¡°But we can¡¯t just leave our sister alone, right?¡± As he spoke, Simon walked towards the door. He always felt that Jane that his sisters talked about was different from what he saw with his own eyes. She was obviously gentle and considerate. How could she be so terrifying? Simon felt that they had overreacted and wanted to go downstairs to take a look first. ¡°Don¡¯t! Simon!¡± Lydia stopped him. ¡°If you¡¯re captured by Eldest Sister, you won¡¯t be able to get out of the company!¡± Simon shrugged and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Eldest Sister isn¡¯t an unreasonable person.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand, an angry Eldest Sister is a cold-blooded female demon!¡± Lydia shouted. ¡°Who are you talking about?¡± The door opened. Jane stood at the door with a frosty face, staring straight at Lydia. ¡°Hi¡­ Eldest Sister¡­¡± Lydia was like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw Jane, hiding behind Simon. She thought that Jane would definitely not let her off this time. Maybe she would lock her in the warehouse to broadcast live, and then she would not be able to be with Simon! Lydia was heartbroken. She hugged Simon¡¯s waist and refused to let go. ¡°Eldest Sister, why are you here?¡± Elizabeth changed the topic. ¡°I¡¯m here to look for Simon.¡± Jane rubbed the space between her eyebrows. When they heard this, their hearts skipped a beat. They looked at Simon sympathetically. Brother, you would be finished¡­. Chapter 23 - Three Confused Faces. When Did Simon Become the Boss? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be a big deal, right?¡± Simon thought to himself as he followed Jane downstairs. His sister looked no different than usual, but her expression was not very friendly. It shouldn¡¯t be as serious as Lydia said. The four of them walked to the sofa and sat down. Lydia and Elizabeth sat in a corner, furthest away from Jane. ¡°Why don¡¯t I see Catherine?¡± Jane asked. ¡°Reporting, Eldest Sister! Fourth Sister has a breakthrough in her research, she went to the research room today!¡± Lydia said seriously. ¡°Oh, I see.¡± After saying that, Jane curled up on the sofa and did not speak again. If she did not speak first, no one dared to speak. The strange silence made everyone feel awkward. Lydia thought of the disrespect she had shown just now and was worried that her eldest sister would settle the score later. Hence, she got up and asked with a concerned smile, ¡°Eldest Sister, who provoked you today?¡± Jane glanced at her but did not reply. Her effort was not well received by Jane, and the atmosphere became even more awkward under Lydia¡¯s efforts. However, Lydia was a live streamer, and her face had long been tempered into an iron wall by her repeated activities. She took the fruit on the table and said, ¡°Eldest Sister, I was wrong. Who has made you angry? I¡¯ll help you beat him up!¡± Jane still couldn¡¯t be bothered with her. Why was she so stubborn? Devil Eldest Sister! Lydia was asking for it. She pouted and sat back next to Elizabeth. When she saw Simon looking back at her, she made a face at him and mouthed a reminder, ¡°See, don¡¯t provoke her!¡± But seeing Jane¡¯s listless look, it seemed worse to leave her alone. Simon couldn¡¯t bear it. Although he knew that he might hit a wall, he asked softly, ¡°Sister, what happened in the company? Why are you not happy?¡± Lydia reacted first and covered her face speechlessly. ¡°Young Man, you have guts! But don¡¯t blame me for not reminding you later.¡± She prayed for Simon in her heart and tilted her head to steal a glance at Jane¡¯s reaction. She did not expect Jane to suddenly sit up straight when she heard Simon¡¯s voice. Although she was tired, she revealed a gentle smile and said to Simon, ¡°The acquisition did not go well.¡± ¡°I chose a literary website with great potential, but the other party refused to make a move no matter what, and his tone was especially arrogant!¡± It was said that harmony brought wealth. Simon could understand why Jane was angry. She was the President of the Hilton Group and was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Wherever she went, flowers would greet her. It was unacceptable for her to be suddenly rejected by someone. However, who was so confident? Simon frowned, feeling that the other party was not simple. ¡°Eldest Sister, is it because of the wrong way of communicating that people feel offended?¡± ¡°How is that possible?¡± Jane smiled bitterly. ¡°We have a professional team, but that person refused to even meet us.¡± He did not even care about Hilton Group¡¯s olive branch. Who was this person? Simon was even more curious about this person¡¯s identity. He could not wait to ask, ¡°Sister, what is the name of the website you want to buy?¡± ¡°Creative Literature Website,¡± Jane enunciated each word. Eh???? This name¡­ isn¡¯t it his company? Simon didn¡¯t know what expression to put on for a moment. It seemed like ten minutes ago, he had asked Mona to reject the acquisition of the website. F*ck! So it was Jane who wanted to acquire the website! No wonder she was so confident about the acquisition! Oh no, he had said it so harshly just now. Now it was definitely not going to end well! ¡°The name sounds terrible!¡± Lydia chimed in from the side. ¡°Eldest Sister, how did they reject you?¡± Hearing Lydia¡¯s reply, Jane glanced at her speechlessly and turned her head to ignore her. Lydia was left out and scratched her face awkwardly. Why was Eldest Sister so gentle to Simon? Why did she always ignore Lydia? She had two faces! Was she not worthy? Lydia felt wronged and her pink lips almost curled up into the sky. ¡°Then, Eldest Sister, what are you going to do next? Give up?¡± Simon asked. After understanding Jane¡¯s next move, he could think of a way to deal with it. ¡°Give up?¡± Jane sneered, ¡°There¡¯s never the word ¡®give up¡¯ in my dictionary! I¡¯ve already sent people to inquire about the behind-the-scenes boss. I have to dig three feet into the ground and find him!¡± Hiss¡­ Oh no, it seemed that eldest sister was serious. Simon originally wanted to hide his industry and give his family a surprise after he made some achievements but it seemed that he couldn¡¯t hide it anymore. He was still in his fledgling stage. With the power of the Hilton Group, it was only a matter of time before they dug him out. After thinking for a moment, Simon felt that rather than being dug out, it was better to take the initiative to admit it! ¡°Eldest Sister, actually¡­¡± ¡°Buzz buzz!¡± The ringtone of the phone interrupted Simon¡¯s words. Jane raised her hand to ask him to speak later, and then pressed the button. ¡°Hello? Is there any news?¡± Jane¡¯s eyes instantly became fierce. ¡°That¡¯s good, send me his information immediately!¡± Her tone carried a hint of ruthlessness. Jane was such a person. Once she had determined her goal, she must achieve it! She would do anything to stop anyone! When she heard that she had found the person, Lydia did not feel wrong anymore. As if nothing had happened, she moved closer to Jane. She did not mind the commotion. ¡°Eldest Sister, let me take a look too.¡± Jane did not stop her and allowed her to squeeze her way over. Even Elizabeth, who had been silent the entire time, ran over with her skirt in her hands. They excitedly moved closer to her phone. ¡°The boss of Creative Literature Website¡­ Simon?¡± ??? The three faces looked up at the same time! Their eyes widened as they stared at Simon in shock. Their eyes were filled with disbelief. ¡°Simon, how did you¡­¡± Lydia looked at the phone and then at Simon, not knowing what to say. Elizabeth covered her mouth to prevent herself from acting too exaggerated. Jane¡¯s gaze was even more complicated. The literary website that she yearned for was actually her younger brother. He had just graduated, how could he have a company? Why had he never mentioned it to us? Could it be that he had always treated us as outsiders? When she thought of this reason, a look of sadness appeared in Jane¡¯s eyes. ¡°Simon, what exactly is going on?¡± Simon said guiltily, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Eldest Sister. I didn¡¯t think that the person who came to me to buy was you.¡± ¡°The foundation of Creative Company is Creative Literature Website, so I can¡¯t sell it.¡± ¡°But why do you have a company?¡± Simon scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, ¡°I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but now it¡¯s all exposed.¡± [Ding! The source of the company has been checked, making arrangements for Host.] [Arrangement completed, please check!] The system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind, and a string of memories instantly flooded into his mind. Simon¡¯s lips curled up slightly as he continued to speak. ¡°Actually, when I was in university, I founded this literary website together with one of my senior brothers.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that it would attract so many people to post articles on it later on, and it gradually formed a scale.¡± Jane nodded in realization. She had indeed heard that the founder of the website was a university student. ¡°But how did you get another company?¡± ¡°Of course because I sold the website later!¡± What? Jane had just understood a little, but she was puzzled.. Why did he sell it again? Chapter 24 - The Company Would Be Bought Over! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°The process is a little tortuous,¡± Simon explained. Lydia was intrigued by the story. She threw Jane and Elizabeth aside and hopped to Simon¡¯s side. ¡°Oh, don¡¯t keep us in suspense. Tell us about it!¡± Even Elizabeth, who had not said much all this time, pulled up her skirt and sat on Simon¡¯s other side. She urged, ¡°Simon, hurry up and tell us.¡± The two beauties sandwiched him in the middle. Their soft bodies were pressed against his arms. They were so close that he could even tell the type of perfume they were wearing. Simon smiled. Facing Jane¡¯s puzzled gaze, he continued, ¡°After the website developed, it attracted the interest of my senior brothers and schoolmates.¡± ¡°One of them wanted to buy our website.¡± ¡°At that time, I didn¡¯t agree because I knew that with the involvement of a company, the profits would become the first priority and the authors¡¯ income would be greatly reduced.¡± Listening to Simon¡¯s thoughts, Jane revealed an appreciative smile. The reason why the Creative Literature Website was able to stand out was that readers and authors liked a simple environment. But from a business perspective, Simon¡¯s naive ideas were a waste of natural resources. Yet, he was still a student at the time, so this idea was understandable. ¡°Have you told your senior brother about these ideas?¡± Jane asked. ¡°Yes, and our ideas clashed because of it,¡± Simon answered. That senior brother¡¯s family was very rich, and his family had high hopes for him. Therefore, he wanted to start a company to prove himself, so he was very interested in the acquisition. ¡°The senior brother hit it off with the alumnus, and then gave me a sum of money to quit the website management,¡± Simon said regretfully. Lydia pouted unhappily. ¡°Too much, isn¡¯t this bullying our little Simon!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t interrupt, listen to Simon. What happened after that?¡± Jane said. Simon scratched his head and thought for a while. ¡°I was only a freshman. I didn¡¯t know how to use the money, so I put it in the bank.¡± ¡°After that, Creative Company was founded. The authors¡¯ salaries were reduced by a lot, causing the development of the website to be sluggish.¡± ¡°Senior brother didn¡¯t want Creative Company to be destroyed by his own hands, so he went back to the original mode.¡± ¡°So, the two of them had a serious disagreement!¡± When there was a disagreement, there was competition. ¡°Later, when the alumnus saw that Creative Company couldn¡¯t get any profit, he took the initiative to quit.¡± ¡°But the two of them didn¡¯t completely fall out, and they even teamed up to do other business together.¡± After saying that, Jane revealed a knowing smile. Then she said, ¡°Did your senior brother get cheated by the alumnus later?¡± ¡°As expected of Eldest Sister.¡± Simon gave a thumbs up. ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± He continued, ¡°The alumnus was unhappy that senior brother had blocked his way of earning money and tricked him into investing in non-performing assets. My senior brother was heavily in debt.¡± ¡°He was eager to cash out. It just so happened that I had some money on hand, so he sold the company to me at a lower price.¡± ¡°That¡¯s how it happened.¡± ¡°But I only took over for two days, and coincidentally, Eldest Sister was about to buy it.¡± He laughed twice, put his hands together, and made an apologetic gesture to Jane. Not only was Jane not angry, but after listening to the story, her opinion of Simon changed greatly. ¡°I was wondering why you didn¡¯t want your pocket money. So you¡¯re already a small boss,¡± Jane praised. She was worried that Simon treated them as outsiders and didn¡¯t tell them anything. Fortunately, there was an explanation for everything. With such a complicated story, Simon had only been at home for two days, so he definitely did not have the time to tell them. Simon¡¯s ability was really beyond imagination! ¡°As expected of our little Simon, he¡¯s so amazing!¡± Lydia hugged Simon¡¯s arm and affectionately rubbed against it. After her bust became bigger, the touch became softer. Man-made processing was indeed not as good as natural processing! Simon was embarrassed by the rubbing and pulled his arm out of Lydia¡¯s arms. ¡°Sister, don¡¯t blame me. When my assistant said that someone was going to buy it, she didn¡¯t even mention his name. I spoke a little too harshly.¡± Jane shook her head in amusement. ¡°Although I was almost angered to death, who asked you to be my dear little brother?¡± Looking at Simon¡¯s sensible appearance, how could Jane still be angry? But thinking back, when she heard Barbara say that Simon¡¯s attitude was terrible as he requested for her to meet him personally. She was really furious! In all her life, only her mother spoke to her in such a tone. If it was anyone else, he would have been in big trouble long ago! ¡°Seriously, what was wrong with your assistant? She can¡¯t even say the name of the buyer clearly,¡± Lydia said unhappily. As expected of a live streamer, she really could answer anything. Simon laughed. ¡°At that time, she only said that the other party was not to be trifled with.¡± Indeed, she was not to be trifled with. Mona laid out the most important point. However, he could not be persuaded by force and had made a big mistake. Simon asked tentatively, ¡°Eldest Sis, are you still going to buy my website?¡± ¡°Hahaha, of course not.¡± Jane laughed loudly. ¡°If I buy it, won¡¯t I make the same mistake as what the alumnus did before?¡± ¡°Then what about your acquisition?¡± ¡°The acquisition website isn¡¯t as important as you. I¡¯ll just get Barbara to look for another one,¡± Jane said generously. With that, she stood up and walked in front of Simon, placing a hand on his shoulder. Her red lips parted slightly, and she smiled happily. ¡°I have seen countless people, but I couldn¡¯t see that my brother is so powerful. I am willing to concede defeat!¡± Simon¡¯s heart was filled with waves of warmth. He knew that the acquisition was not like selling cabbages. She couldn¡¯t change it as she wished. Perhaps the eldest sister¡¯s retreat for him would cause Hilton to suffer losses but she still did not change her mind. ¡°Thank you, Eldest Sister,¡± Simon said gratefully. ¡°It¡¯s no big deal.¡± Jane patted his shoulder. Then, she straightened up and suddenly stood up again. ¡°Who said I was a cold-blooded female demon just now?¡± Lydia did not expect Jane to hold a grudge, and her body froze. She raised her smiling face and said, ¡°Eldest Sister, I didn¡¯t mean that¡­¡± ¡°Slander me in front of my brother, Fifth Sister. After I make the call, you¡¯d better have a reasonable explanation!¡± Jane took up the phone and walked to the side. Simon heard that she was telling Barbara to find a new acquisition target. Lydia, who was at the side, had a sad look on her face. She shook Simon¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Good brother, you have to save me!¡± ¡°I promise to clean your room every day!¡± Simon thought about it and felt that it was not bad. If Lydia came every day, he would not have to make up an excuse to get her to come over and sign in. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll try?¡± Elizabeth quickly stopped him, ¡°Simon, Lydia deserves to be punished. Don¡¯t let her!¡± ¡°Aiyo, Second Sister, are you still my good second sister? Don¡¯t stop Simon!¡± Elizabeth could not do anything about her and could only say to Simon, ¡°Ignore her!¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, Second Sister. Lydia originally had good intentions.¡± If Lydia was really sent to the warehouse, she would definitely not be able to complete the missions in the future. No way. He still had to help! [Ding! The ¡®Return Rate System¡¯ has completed the mission. Congratulations Host for obtaining the treasure box!] The system¡¯s voice suddenly sounded! Simon looked at Jane¡¯s back in disbelief. The eldest sister was so fast! She completed the acquisition mission with a single call! Chapter 25 - One in One Hundred Million. A Huge Potential Stock! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio As expected of the eldest sister! The system mission was just a matter of minutes to her! No wonder she did not care about the system¡¯s temptation! ¡°System, Eldest Sister has completed the mission, did you give her a reward?¡± Simon asked in his heart. [Dear Host, not yet.] ¡°Can I specify a reward?¡± [Of course. Every time you complete the mission, you can choose what to reward.] Not bad! This was the best! Recalling the blunder this time, it was all because he had unintentionally given Jane his investment advice. As a gift of apology, he would choose this! ¡°System, reward her with an ¡®Eye of Assessment¡¯ to evaluate the basic profit!¡± [Return Rate System] increasing the rate of return was random, but if the basic profit was high, it could make up for the randomness. It was to prevent the eldest sister from being fooled again in the future. [Okay, but only two times a day.] ¡°Okay! Send it.¡± Not far away, Jane hung up the phone, and then her body froze on the spot. Without a doubt, she was definitely communicating with the system. [Congratulations to Target for completing the acquisition mission. The return has increased by 100%. A treasure box is rewarded as the additional mission reward.] ¡°Haha.¡± Jane looked down on it. ¡°Don¡¯t play tricks. Open it quickly!¡± [Ding! Congratulations to Target for obtaining the Eye of Assessment. It can evaluate the basic value of investments. ] [It can be used twice a day!] Jane smiled with interest. ¡°Oh? It¡¯s that powerful.¡± [You can try it.] ¡°Ha.¡± Jane was not willing to listen to other people¡¯s orders. She did not care what the system said and walked back to Simon¡¯s side and sat down. Seeing that she did not seem to want to use the reward at all, Simon was a little anxious. The eldest sister was too steady. As expected of a mature woman, she was never led by the nose! Then he would give her a way out. Before Jane opened her mouth to teach Lydia a lesson, Simon asked first, ¡°Sister, have you settled the matter?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Jane brushed away the loose hair beside her ear, her movements were elegant and charming. ¡°Onion Literature can¡¯t be compared to Creative, but it¡¯s not bad either.¡± Simon showed a questioning look and said, ¡°Sister, it¡¯s not that I doubt your ability.¡± ¡°It¡¯s better to be more cautious most of the time to avoid being tricked again.¡± Hearing that, Jane¡¯s expression changed. Simon¡¯s words had indeed reminded her. Last time, it was her subordinates who had messed up. She had to be more cautious since she was personally watching over the situation this time. It was a good opportunity to try out the system¡¯s skills. ¡°Eye of Assessment!¡± Jane muttered in her heart. After activating it, Jane did not feel that the world was any different. She opened her phone and found the new information that Barbara had sent over. She first used this eye to assess the Onion Literature Website. [The basic profit is 80%.] It was about the same as what she had estimated. She accepted it. If it was Creative, it might be 100%. Jane was barely satisfied with this substitute. It also indirectly verified the system¡¯s ability, proving that it was not bullsh*tting. It was still convincing. At this moment, her eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of Simon. [The basic profit is 100 million percent!] ???? What was that? Simon¡¯s basic profit was actually 100 million percent? This thing could even evaluate the value of a person?! Wait! Life was limited, but the ability was unlimited! A person could create wealth! Recalling Simon¡¯s unique vision, lofty ambition, and ability to judge the situation. Jane was secretly shocked. Oh God, it turned out that her brother¡¯s future was limitless! Her mother really picked up a treasure! Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that after she chatted with Simon, she suddenly opened the system and obtained the ability! God! ¡°Thank you for your gift, let Simon become our family!¡± Jane felt a myriad of emotions, her heart was surging, as if there was a huge wave and she could not control it. Her face was slightly red as she excitedly held Simon¡¯s hand. Seeing this scene, Simon was completely confused. Eh? What was going on? Were the website¡¯s basic returns frighteningly high? That was impossible. No matter how he looked at it, it was just a medium-sized website. Simon was slightly surprised when he did not know what Jane saw. ¡°Simon, from now on, I will definitely take better care of you!¡± Jane said excitedly. ¡°I¡¯ll treat you even better than my biological brother!¡± ¡°Thank you, Eldest Sister, I will do the same.¡± Simon was caught off guard by her passionate confession, and his face turned red because of her straightforwardness. The rate of return shouldn¡¯t be so small¡­ However, Jane was still unwilling to let go, as if no words could express her feelings. ¡°What do you want? I will satisfy you!¡± In the end, Jane decided to use the most straightforward method. Give! Give him whatever he wanted! Simon actually did not lack anything. He thought for a moment and saw Lydia beside him. The latter¡¯s eyes were about to pop out as she kept giving him hints. Oh right, he said that he would help him. He would take this opportunity! ¡°Eldest Sister, Lydia knows that she¡¯s wrong. Please forgive her.¡± Simon smiled and tried to persuade her. ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll let it go this time!¡± Jane was very straightforward. She then turned her head and said to Lydia with a cold face, ¡°Don¡¯t let this happen again.¡± ¡°Thank you, Eldest Sister!¡± Lydia felt as if she had been pardoned. She almost burst into tears on the spot. Fortunately, the eldest sister favored Simon. Otherwise, no one would be able to save her that day. Thank God! ¡°Alright, the matter has been settled. Let¡¯s disperse for today.¡± Jane was in a great mood. She waved her hand and walked upstairs. Elizabeth nodded at Simon and followed Jane upstairs. ¡°Do you remember what you promised me?¡± Simon joked. ¡°Of course, I remember,¡± Lydia said playfully. ¡°It¡¯s just cleaning the room. I¡¯ll go right away!¡± In fact, the room was not dirty. Simon just wanted to trick her into signing in. After binding Jane to the system, the reward for signing in should increase as well. [Ding! Lydia has entered Host¡¯s private territory, signing in is successful! Host has received a reward of 100,000 yuan!] The system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind. As expected, the reward for signing in increased! Simon collapsed on the sofa and stretched comfortably. At this moment, Lydia, who was cleaning the room, ran out and shouted while leaning on the railing. ¡°Simon, your computer keeps ringing. It seems like someone is looking for you.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Simon returned to his room and saw Lydia lying on his bed. Her pajamas were on inside out, and the loose fabric hung on her chest as if it would fall off in the next second. Simon teased her, ¡°Is wearing pajamas inside out a trend this year?¡± Lydia rolled her eyes at him. ¡°What do you know? It only took a few seconds for me to run into Second Sister¡¯s room after hearing the sound of falling shoes.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already not easy for me to keep my pajamas on!¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± ¡°What did I hear?¡± According to what Lydia said, wasn¡¯t she naked in the room? Too bold! The scene was too erotic! ¡°Cough.¡± Simon pretended to cough and pretended that he didn¡¯t hear the main point. He walked straight to the bay window. The computer page stopped on Mona¡¯s email. Simon read ten lines at a glance. In less than two minutes, he finished reading all the emails and sent the comments back. Just when he thought there was nothing important, a new email popped up. Simon opened it. It was him?! Chapter 26 - Internal Liquidation? The New Boss Was Coming to the Company! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio It was an email from Hughes! He was the senior brother who transferred the company! Simon was surprised. He opened the email and saw an ordinary electronic postcard. The picture on the card was St. Mary¡¯s Cathedral at Cambridge University. There was a row of small words at the bottom. ¡°Dear Junior, thank you for helping me solve my urgent problem. I regret not listening to you at that time.¡± ¡°You have a very unique vision. You are definitely more suitable to be the boss of Creative Company than I am.¡± ¡°I wish you all the best!¡± According to the system, Hughes was studying at Cambridge University. The alumnus who cheated him should still be there. After all, he had sold a company to him at a very low price. Simon felt that there was still a need to greet him. He opened the QQ Message and saw that Hughes¡¯s account was really on the list. ¡°Senior Brother, I received the postcard. I should be the one thanking you. After all, I took such a huge advantage.¡± Sent! Two minutes later, the notification sounded again. ¡°Junior Brother, you are too modest. Half of the company was yours. Thank you for letting me be the boss for a short time!¡± ¡°You¡¯re exaggerating, Senior Brother. I¡¯ve seen the personnel arrangement of the company. You¡¯ve run the company very well.¡± ¡°No matter how good it is, it can¡¯t withstand internal strife.¡± Through the screen, one could see Hughes¡¯ helplessness. ¡°You¡¯d better check the company from top to bottom!¡± Was this a hint? He was asked to be careful of the people in the company? That shouldn¡¯t be. Hughes¡¯ alumnus had long quit the Creative Company. All that was left were people that Hughes trusted, so why did he need to go and do the cleaning himself? ¡°Is there a problem with the company?¡± Simon asked straightforwardly. ¡°I¡¯m not sure either. I was muddle-headed about the whole thing this time, so I can¡¯t give you too much advice. I¡¯m sorry.¡± It seemed that Hughes had not recovered from the shock, and his words were vague and incoherent. He felt as if he had been hit by a hammer and a stick. He just kept repeating what he had said. Simon could understand his feelings very well. Selling Creative to him this time was equivalent to cutting off a piece of meat at his heart. ¡°I understand. Thank you for your reminder.¡± Simon replied simply and ended the conversation. He sat down and thought for a moment. He still felt a little concerned. Then, he took out Mona¡¯s contact information and sent her a text message. ¡°Check the personnel, especially the people that Mr. Hughes mentioned before!¡± It was unknown what Mona was busy with. Simon sat in front of the computer for ten minutes before he received a simple word. ¡°Understood.¡± It was still inconvenient to communicate by email. Simon held his chin, planning to go to the company headquarters to take a look. It was a little boring to be the boss behind the scenes all the time. He raised his head and looked out the window. He found that he had been here for two days. He had not left the house for two whole days¡­ No! If he stayed any longer, it would really be no good! Simon suddenly had an idea. He wanted to go out for a walk. ¡°Lydia, I¡¯m going out. Do you want to go with me?¡± Simon asked. Lydia lay on the bed, her restless legs shaking non-stop. Then she answered lazily, ¡°No, it¡¯s so hot outside, I¡¯ll turn dark.¡± ¡°But where do you want to go? If It¡¯s a good place, I can accompany you!¡± Seeing her mischievous look, Simon thought it was fine. He was going to the company to deal with matters, so Lydia would definitely feel bored. After thinking for a while, he decided not to bring trouble on himself. Simon waved at her and said, ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll go by myself.¡± ¡°Bye bye.¡± Lydia waved her hand readily. ¡°If it¡¯s too far, get the driver to send you off!¡± ¡°Got it.¡± After saying that, Simon closed the door and left. ¡­ ¡°I don¡¯t even know where the address is, yet I ran out alone. As expected, I should just stay at home.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s a little big around here.¡± Simon walked slowly on the road. The scorching sun still hurt his skin a little. Standing on an unfamiliar street, he suddenly felt a little lost. ¡°If I knew this would happen, I would have gotten the driver to send me off.¡± Simon stood at the intersection and sighed. ¡°Buzz buzz!¡± At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang. Simon took it out and saw that it was Mona. Whatever he thought about would come to pass! He picked up the phone, and Mona¡¯s hesitant voice came from the other end. ¡°Mr. Simon, this is Mona.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°You asked me to check the staff just now, but I didn¡¯t get anything. As for Mr. Hughes, he was busy with other businesses when I came, so he didn¡¯t specifically mention anyone.¡± It seemed that Mona hadn¡¯t been working for long and hadn¡¯t had a deep understanding of the company. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m coming over now,¡± Simon answered. Mona sounded very happy and smiled. ¡°That¡¯s great. Where are you now? I¡¯ll pick you up!¡± ¡°No need,¡± Simon interrupted her. ¡°Just send me the company address.¡± ¡°No problem! I¡¯m really confused. A successful person like you must have a full-time driver.¡± The flattery was loud and clear as if he had suddenly stepped into middle age. Mona seemed to have some misunderstanding about his age. Simon didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. After receiving the message, he hailed a taxi at the roadside. The headquarters of Creative Company was an hour away from the Bennet Mansion. If it was in the past, Simon would definitely be reluctant to hail a taxi for such a long distance but now it was different. Even if he was lying at home, the money would continue to flow into his pocket. The journey was long. When the taxi stopped downstairs, Simon had already taken a nap. ¡°Young Man, we¡¯re here,¡± the driver shouted. ¡°You¡¯re here for the interview too, right? You¡¯re so ambitious, how can you sleep!¡± Simon rubbed his stiff neck and said casually, ¡°Uncle, do people often come here for interviews?¡± ¡°Hehe, including you, it¡¯s already the fourth one today.¡± ¡°This company is so popular.¡± Just by looking at Simon¡¯s face, one could tell that he had not completely gotten rid of the childish nature of the school. One could tell that he was a graduate. Simon paid the money and got off the car. He looked at the towering skyscraper in front of him. The bright glass walls were so dazzling under the sun that people could not open their eyes. From now on, this place was completely his. Simon put his hands in his pockets and walked into the building. The lobby on the first floor was very spacious, and the floor was very bright. The windows were circular, and the lighting was very good. Simon had a good impression of this place from the moment he entered. However, the air conditioner was turned on at a very low temperature, and it was a little cold at first. He was wearing a short jacket and shorts, and could not help but shiver. Near the wall, there was a row of metal seats. A few boys in black suits were sitting upright as if they were waiting for something. They looked about the same age as him. They were probably the graduates that the driver had mentioned. It was not surprising that it was graduation season. Looking at their nervous looks, Simon could not help but sigh. If Bennet had not brought him to his house, he would definitely be running around in formal clothes now. ¡°Hey! Hey! What are you looking at here? You are not allowed to visit this office!¡± At this moment, a security guard came over with a baton. He looked Simon up and down and revealed a look of understanding as he pointed at the group of men in suits. ¡°Go and wait for the interview over there. Wear more serious clothes next time.¡± Huh? Who was interviewing? Chapter 27 - Met an Acquaintance in the Company. an Inevitable Clash between Opposing Factions! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Simon lowered his head to look at himself. Sports shoes with shorts. He looked like a standard student. He had just graduated and stayed at home for two days straight. He did not have time to buy clothes. Moreover, he had decided to go out at the last minute. His clothes were very casual. Indeed, the security guard could not be blamed for judging a person by his appearance. Simon could not help but laugh. ¡°Big Brother, you have misunderstood, I¡­¡± ¡°Misunderstood what?¡± The security guard interrupted him, not listening to his explanation at all. ¡°If you are not here for the interview, then go out. Don¡¯t take advantage of the air conditioner here!¡± It was as if he had eaten gunpowder. The air conditioner could not extinguish his agitated heart. After being yelled at for no reason, Simon became the most conspicuous existence in the hall. Seeing this, a few of the interviewees covered their mouths and laughed, whispering to each other and laughing at themselves. ¡°Yo, I thought who he is? Isn¡¯t this the famous elite scholar of the entire department? Why did he come here for the interview?¡± Just when Simon was too lazy to argue with the security guard. A discordant voice sounded. He didn¡¯t expect to meet an acquaintance here. Simon turned his body slightly and faced the man who was walking towards him. The man in front of him was named Dennis. He was his classmate and also a very conceited man. The feud he had with him started with Hughes. Hughes was five years older than Simon. He had discussed topics with his classmates when he studied abroad. At that time, the most outstanding students in his class were Simon and Dennis. However, Hughes had limited energy and could only take one person with him. The result was obvious. Hughes chose Simon and later founded the Creative Literature Website together. From then on, Dennis hated him and thought that he had made him lose face, so he targeted him in school. During school, Simon didn¡¯t want to rely on Bennet, so he consciously distanced himself. When his classmates saw him, they only said that he had a distant aunt. Everyone thought that he was a poor student whose parents had both died. Dennis felt that it was an opportunity. He always bragged about his family¡¯s wealth in front of him. Although he disdained it, Dennis was like a fly. He was disgusted when he was beaten. Therefore, when Simon was in school, he would hide whenever he could. Every time he went to class, he would wait for the bell to enter the classroom. He was afraid that Dennis would catch a glimpse of him. Unfortunately, with such a lazy attitude in class, his grades were still better than Dennis¡¯s. Because of this, Dennis¡¯s fragile self-esteem was hurt, and he pursued him even more. Initially, he thought that he would have some peace after graduation. Who knew that he would meet his nemesis here! ¡°When I first saw you, I couldn¡¯t believe it. Our top student is wearing this for the interview? If you don¡¯t have any clothes, I can lend you!¡± Dennis shook the tie on his chest. He deliberately showed the Gucci logo on it. Dennis¡¯s looks were average, and his figure was considered average. However, he was dressed in branded clothes, which created a jewelry-like effect. He looked like a reed chicken with peacock feathers on it! It was just a facade. The mild mockery did not pique Simon¡¯s interest at all. Simon looked at his wrinkled suit and raised his eyebrows. ¡°The suit is not bad. Are you also here for the interview?¡± Hearing Simon¡¯s answer, Dennis¡¯s face changed, and the corner of his mouth twitched. His face turned red. He grabbed the badge and wanted to shove it into Simon¡¯s eyes. ¡°Open your eyes and take a good look. What is this?¡± ¡°Technical consultant?¡± Simon took a closer look and read out a line of small words on the badge. There was a slight scratch on the surface of the badge, and the paint on the four corners had been scraped off a little. From afar, no flaws could be seen but these marks proved that the brand was old. The two were classmates. When Dennis was in school, he was always comparing himself to others, so he had no time to come to the company for an internship in advance. Combined with the above conditions, Simon had reason to think that the brand was not Dennis¡¯s, and he was pretending to be fat again. However, it was a virtue to see through it and not say it out loud. Simon just smiled and did not care much. Seeing that Simon was not curious at all, Dennis felt a little embarrassed. He pretended to raise his head and tried to look at Simon with his nostrils. He said proudly, ¡°I heard that you fell out with Senior Hughes later on, and now you¡¯re coming to his company for an interview. You¡¯re too thick-skinned!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t compete with you, Dennis. It feels like you have worked for a few years though you were here for a few days,¡± Simon mocked back. He didn¡¯t want to cause trouble, but he wasn¡¯t afraid of it either! Putting aside the fact that he was already the boss of Creative, even if he wasn¡¯t, with Aunt Bennet and his five sisters behind him, Dennis wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything to him! ¡°Oh my consultant, you¡¯re finally here. Those students who are interviewing have been waiting for a long time.¡± The security guard saw that the atmosphere between the two wasn¡¯t right, so he quickly interrupted them. If a fight broke out in the place he was responsible for, it would not end well! He respectfully hunched his back and invited Dennis to his office. Dennis knew that his eloquence could not be compared to Simon¡¯s, so he turned around and said, ¡°See, I¡¯m busy. I won¡¯t lower myself to your level!¡± ¡°Let me tell you, I¡¯m the interviewer here today! Creative doesn¡¯t welcome you, so it¡¯s best if you could just go back to where you came from!¡± His way of chasing people away was extremely straightforward and impolite. The only thing missing was the words ¡°Revenge for personal vendetta¡± written on his face. Simon couldn¡¯t be bothered with him, so he turned to ask the security guard, ¡°How do I get to Mona¡¯s office?¡± ¡°Hey! What¡¯s wrong with you!¡± Dennis interrupted, ¡°If you can¡¯t get close to a senior, then you try to get close to Miss Mona! Where did you find out? You must have planned it all along!¡± Simon was speechless. Why did he still treat him as a graduate for the interview? If he had known earlier, he would have changed his outfit and come. Seeing that he refused to leave, the security guard also wanted to protect the face of his company¡¯s consultant. He pulled Simon by the arm and walked him out. As he walked him out, he said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to criticize you, but how could you be dressed like this for the interview!¡± ¡°You¡¯re still being stubborn! Now that you¡¯ve offended the company¡¯s new consultant, we really can¡¯t tolerate you anymore!¡± Simon felt that it was funny. The first requirement for hiring an employee was not ability, but the ability to dress and please the interviewer! How pedantic! Although he did not know how Dennis managed to sneak into the company, with him around, the recruitment process would definitely become a disaster area for mediocrity! ¡°Let go.¡± Simon shook off the security guard. ¡°Why are you so¡­ stubborn!¡± The security guard¡¯s bad temper was even worse. He also gave up on being polite. He swung his hand like a propeller and directly threw Simon out. ¡°Get out! Get out!¡± ¡°This is none of your business! Go, go, go!¡± Simon¡¯s face darkened. He said coldly, ¡°Who do you think you are talking to!¡± ¡°Ha! I want to see who you are.¡± Dennis felt that there was not enough excitement, so he came up again. Simon sneered, ¡°The company has always only recruited capable people.¡± ¡°Dennis, with that pitiful average of yours, don¡¯t you feel ashamed to enter the Creative Company?!¡± When Dennis was in school, his favorite thing was to compare his family background with those with good grades, and to compare his grades with those with good family backgrounds. He was really not someone with outstanding capability! Since he had met him here, Simon definitely could not let him continue. He had come to the company to check on the staff, so let¡¯s start with Dennis, the rat droppings.. Chapter 28 - No Need for Incompetent People, Fired! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Simon admitted that he was different from Dennis. He had never treated people differently, and he did not want to look at people with prejudice. Although Dennis¡¯s grades were terrible, if he had something that others did not have, Simon was willing to give him a chance. Seeing that they were classmates, Simon decided to waste time to verify the slim possibility. ¡°Dennis, what ability do you have to work in the company?¡± Simon took the initiative to strike first. ¡°My ability is not something that an outsider like you can see!¡± Dennis said arrogantly. His skin was thicker than he had imagined. When he talked about something that he did not have, he could still remain calm. His calm and composed appearance seemed to really be the case. The security guard and a few interviewees were intimidated by him and looked at Dennis with admiration. The way they looked at Simon was even more disdainful. They thought that he had delayed the interview time. The corner of Simon¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. He smiled and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll be the interviewee. Strictly speaking, I¡¯m not an outsider. Show me, Interviewer.¡± ¡°Pfft, you want me to interview you just because you say so? Who do you think you are!¡± Dennis mocked. ¡°You should know my results the best. Senior brother values ability the most. Do you think you can give him an explanation if you chase me away?¡± Dennis¡¯ eyes kept rolling when he heard Hughes¡¯ name. In fact, he had never seen Hughes ever since Hughes chose Simon. It was just that he was looking for a job and accidentally found the Creative Company. After knowing that the boss was his senior, he started to build a relationship in the company. Even after a few days, he was not exposed. He even got a job as an interviewer. But now that Simon, who knew everything, had come, he had to restrain himself to avoid being seen through and losing face. ¡°Don¡¯t use senior to pressure me! I don¡¯t think you have much ability!¡± Dennis was forced to soften his attitude. He turned around and walked towards the interview office. Before he left, he did not forget to make things difficult for Simon. ¡°First come, first served! You go to the back of the line!¡± Simon did not care about these meaningless details. He swung his sneakers and sat at the back of the group of men in suits. The four boys who were interviewing saw that he did not get along with the interviewer. In order to get the job, they would definitely not treat him well. They crowded together like they were avoiding the plague. ¡°This is hilarious. He didn¡¯t even bring his resume with him when he came for the interview!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear? He came here because of his senior¡¯s connections!¡± They lowered their voices, but it also seemed like they were saying it on purpose for Simon to hear. Simon glanced at them indifferently and ignored them. If these people were more capable than gossiping, then they could stay. After all, the company needed talent now. In the past, it did not matter how Hughes ran the company. Now that Simon had taken over the company, he could not tolerate people who were more arrogant than their abilities! The first four people accepted the interview one after another. But strangely, before the first one came out, the second one was called in. Simon did not know what Dennis was planning. He leaned on the stool and stared at the ceiling in a daze. When a person was free, they would think of something that had been put on hold. Hughes¡¯ reminder rang in his ear. He said to be careful of the people inside, but who should he be careful of? Was it one person? Or was it a group? Where should he start? Simon sat on the iron stool for two hours, but he still had no idea. ¡°Hey, it¡¯s your turn!¡± A rash interviewee called out. ¡°Okay.¡± Simon stretched his frozen calves and followed him into the office. There was only a table and a small blackboard in the office. Other than that, there was nothing else. It looked empty, more like an interrogation room. Dennis crossed his hands on the table and covered the bottom half of his face, revealing a look that he thought was cool. The four interviewees stood behind him like bodyguards, moving in unison. The temporary team stared at Simon in a threatening manner. Simon looked away in disgust. What was the point of doing all these fancy things? Dennis, on the other hand, was in a good mood. He felt that he was very impressive, so impressive that Simon did not even dare to look at them. ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡± Simon pulled out a stool and sat down. ¡°Did I ask you to sit?¡± Dennis snorted. ¡°Is this your first time coming out for an interview? You don¡¯t even know how to be polite.¡± He was really addicted to pretending to be a leader. What a joke! Simon rolled his eyes and knocked on the table. ¡°Don¡¯t be so superficial. Let¡¯s get straight to the point!¡± Dennis widened his eyes and gritted his teeth. Although he had only been here for two or three days, he had spent a lot of money to get in. No matter what, it was not Simon¡¯s turn to yell at the interviewer! ¡°Stand up!¡± Dennis raised his voice and shouted, ¡°Simon, this is a company, not a school. You don¡¯t have the right to behave atrociously!¡± ¡°You¡¯re already suppressing me in school. How can you be arrogant here?¡± Dennis thought viciously in his heart. On that day, he purposely left four interviewers here to watch a good show. He would definitely make Simon lose face and never be arrogant again! ¡°Stop making such a fuss. What a mess.¡± Simon covered his ears and said disdainfully. Hearing this, Dennis¡¯ face immediately turned red. Who was the real interviewer?! ¡°Simon, I¡¯m not going to argue with you. There¡¯s no need. Let¡¯s start now!¡± ¡°It should have been like this a long time ago. You¡¯ve wasted a lot of my time.¡± Simon was not polite at all. Dennis was so angry that his face was red. He wanted to go up and strangle Simon to death! However, he wanted to show his magnanimity as an interviewer, so he could only swallow his anger first! Simon, just you wait! ¡°Take out your resume,¡± Dennis said with a smirk. From the beginning, he had noticed that Simon did not bring anything. He probably wanted to use Hughes¡¯ reputation to pull strings. Simon said bluntly, ¡°No need. We are all classmates. You know my situation better than anyone else.¡± ¡°In short, I am better than you in every aspect. Do you think there is a need to look at it again?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s get to the main topic. What ability do you have to enter Creative? What can your ability bring to Creative?¡± The series of questions made Dennis speechless. Simon¡¯s calm and composed appearance made him furious. F*ck! Dennis cursed in his heart. He finally could not stand Simon¡¯s overbearing aura. ¡°For the sake of my senior, I have tolerated you many times, but you have repeatedly broken the rules!¡± ¡°Then don¡¯t blame me for sending people to kick you out!¡± ¡°Security!¡± Dennis shouted fiercely at the door. He couldn¡¯t answer any of Simon¡¯s questions, so he could only chase him away. The voices of a few people behind him whispered into his ears. It was too embarrassing! Denise was extremely regretful that he didn¡¯t throw Simon out right from the start! ¡°You can¡¯t answer it, right?¡± Simon stared at him calmly. After a few seconds, Simon retracted his scrutinizing gaze. Alright. His expression had already explained everything. He shouldn¡¯t have had the slightest bit of hope for this guy. He slowly stood up, and his lazy gaze landed on Denise¡¯s name tag. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Dennis. You haven¡¯t gone through the test. Our company doesn¡¯t need someone like you.¡± Then, he took out his phone and called Mona.. Chapter 29 - When Did Simon Became the Boss? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Hello, Mona. I¡¯m in the interview room. You can come down directly.¡± Simon said simply and hung up the phone. ¡°Who are you calling? Put on an act?!¡± Dennis stood up and said angrily, ¡°Get out now!¡± Simon put his hands in his pockets and sat in his seat without moving an inch. He smiled and stared at Dennis¡¯s face without saying a word as if he was admiring a strange-looking animal. ¡°F*ck! Get lost!¡± Dennis was helpless and furious. With his physique, he did not dare to go up and pull Simon. He could only wait for the security guard to come in. ¡°Where¡¯s the security guard? Where the hell is the security guard? There¡¯s someone causing trouble here!¡± Dennis roared at the door. After five minutes, the security guard, who had a confused look on his face, finally arrived. Seeing Simon sitting down, Dennis and the four people who were interviewing stood up. They felt that the one sitting down had the aura of a boss. ¡°Who is the one causing trouble?¡± The security guard asked. ¡°Are you blind? It¡¯s this kid! Quickly kick him out!¡± ¡°It¡¯s you again!¡± With the hint, the security guard instantly found the main point. He pulled out his baton and quickly walked to Simon¡¯s side. He said seriously, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to leave just now? Why did you come to the interview room again?!¡± Simon lifted his eyelids and glanced at him. He smiled and said, ¡°Why can¡¯t I come to my own company?¡± ¡°Now let¡¯s see who has the loudest voice and who seems to be causing trouble.¡± The security guard was confused by what he said. He really didn¡¯t know how an interview could make the interviewer so angry that he was fuming. He did not dare to let his imagination run wild. The security guard only wanted to do his job well. Once again, he grabbed Simon¡¯s elbow and dragged him out of the door. ¡°Hurry up and leave. Don¡¯t come here to cause trouble again!¡± ¡°Hmph, get lost!¡± Dennis said happily. He sat on the table proudly and enjoyed the beautiful scene of Simon being thrown out. A few male interviewees who were standing guard immediately surrounded him. No one knew what they said, but it made Denise¡¯s heart burst with joy. As he said that, he rolled his eyes. ¡°What are you doing?!¡± At this moment, a female voice that sounded like a silver bell rang out, but it carried a decisive aura. Hearing this voice, Dennis jumped down from the table as if he had been electrocuted, and he stood properly. A purple figure just happened to bump into Simon. She was dressed in a light purple professional suit that wrapped around her s-shaped body. Her golden hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head, and her pair of large, shining eyes were like gems. Seeing the security guard pulling Simon, she frowned and asked, ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Miss Mona, this person is causing trouble here!¡± The security guard smiled obsequiously and answered truthfully. Mona looked at Simon suspiciously and then jumped over him to look at the five people behind him. She remembered Simon¡¯s decisive and bold voice. The few ordinary people behind him really did not fit him. Then she looked at the tall and handsome young man in front of her. Mona looked at Simon with uncertainty. ¡°Are you Mr. Simon?¡± ¡°Yes, I am,¡± Simon answered with a smile. Hearing that the boss was right in front of her, Mona¡¯s eyes lit up visibly. She took a step forward and held Simon¡¯s hand. ¡°Mr. Simon, you are really young and promising. I almost didn¡¯t recognize you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± ¡°But what are you doing here?¡± Mona asked in confusion. It was already very strange for the leader to inspect the interview room. More importantly, he was being dragged by the security guard. Mona frowned and slapped the security guard¡¯s hand away. ¡°Why are you dragging the boss? You have no idea who are you holding!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯m sorry!¡± The security guard hurriedly apologized and stepped aside. Although he was not familiar with Dennis, he was familiar with Mona. He knew that Mona was now the head of the company. He could not afford to offend her. ¡°What¡­ What¡¯s going on?¡± Dennis said shakily. ¡°You¡¯re¡­ a technical consultant?¡± Mona saw Dennis¡¯s name tag. ¡°I don¡¯t remember our company having a consultant at your age.¡± Dennis wiped the sweat off his forehead. He knew that he couldn¡¯t hide it anymore. He stammered, ¡°Miss Mona, I¡¯m¡­ I¡¯m an intern in the technical department¡­¡± Hearing this, the interviewees who were busy fawning over Dennis were shocked! The person they had been fawning over was actually an intern! After knowing the truth, they looked at Dennis with disdain. These gazes were like small awls, piercing so much that Dennis¡¯s face turned red but he knew that this was not the worst. He secretly raised his eyes to look at Mona. ¡°Boss, I¡¯m really sorry. I should have come down earlier to welcome you,¡± Mona said apologetically. When everyone heard this, their bodies trembled! Dennis did not want to believe his own ears. Simon? How could he be the boss! He had been in the company for a few days, and everyone said that the boss was Hughes and that he was very busy. Otherwise, he would not have dared to show off in front of the interviewees! His previous anger was gone, and Dennis only felt his limbs shaking violently. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I saw something very interesting downstairs.¡± Simon smiled faintly. Then, he looked at Dennis and the security guard meaningfully. Both of them lowered their heads and didn¡¯t dare to speak. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you about the issue of personnel inspection before?¡± Simon said calmly, ¡°I think we can start from the lowest level.¡± ¡°Please go ahead,¡± Mona said respectfully. Simon raised his finger and pointed at the security guard. ¡°Like him.¡± The security guard was shocked. He knew that he couldn¡¯t keep his job and was so scared that he didn¡¯t dare to speak. ¡°He¡¯s quite competent, but his service attitude needs to be improved.¡± Hearing this, the security guard raised his head in disbelief. He was so fierce to the boss, but he wasn¡¯t fired? ¡°What are you waiting for? Why aren¡¯t you thanking the boss for the compliment?¡± Mona saw that he was in a daze and shouted decisively. The security guard immediately beamed with joy. He gave a standard 90-degree bow and said, ¡°Thank you, Boss. I¡¯ll definitely work hard to improve!¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Simon nodded in satisfaction. Then, he focused on Dennis. ¡°As for him¡­¡± Simon said in a long voice, ¡°He¡¯s useless. He¡¯s fired! Find out who hired him!¡± ¡°Understood!¡± Mona immediately understood the relationship between the two. She immediately called the security guard to get Dennis out! ¡°Don¡¯t! Don¡¯t! Miss Mona, I was wrong! Give me another chance!¡± Dennis pleaded while avoiding the security guard. Mona saw him jumping up and down like a monkey and turned her face away in disgust. ¡°It¡¯s useless to beg me, the boss is letting you go now!¡± ¡°Go back and improve your ability first, then consider coming back to work.¡± ¡°How dare you use other¡¯s badge!¡± She walked over angrily and tore Dennis¡¯ badge off! ¡°Drag him out!¡± Mona shouted. The security guard did not dare to delay. He pounced on Dennis and grabbed him, pulling him out. Dennis glared at Simon, who was acting as if there was nothing to do with him and cursed loudly. ¡°Villain! You¡¯re using your official position to get revenge! Don¡¯t think you¡¯re so great just because you¡¯re the boss! You¡¯re still basking in the glory of your senior!¡± ¡°You¡¯re so petty! Remember what you have done today!¡± ¡°Hehe.¡± As if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, Simon sneered, ¡°Dennis, I gave you a chance. You¡¯re the one who¡¯s not capable.¡± ¡°Send the guest out!¡± Chapter 30 - I Was in the Light, the Enemy Was in the Dark. Lets Retreat for the Time Being! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After sending Dennis off, only Mona and a few interviewees were left in the office. They were in a very awkward situation. They stood where they were and rubbed their hands together like chickens that had nowhere to run in a rainstorm. ¡°Boss, what should we do with these interviewees?¡± Mona asked. She knew that she should chase these people out immediately but Simon was here. She could not make a decision beyond her boss, so she waited for Simon to make a decision. ¡°Bring their resumes to me to have a look.¡± Simon spread his hands and said. Hearing that, Mona immediately collected their resumes and handed them to Simon with both hands. Simon flipped through them one by one. Their education was ordinary. Their abilities were average. Plus, they hadn¡¯t entered the company yet, but these people were eager to stand in line and exclude outsiders. They really didn¡¯t have to stay. ¡°None of you are hired.¡± Simon threw the information on the table. The four of them were filled with regret. They knew that they shouldn¡¯t be standing here anymore, so they left the company with their heads drooping. Before Simon could say anything, Mona led him upstairs. Simon thought of the badge and said, ¡°Is there a problem with the management of the company? Why can Dennis get the badge?¡± ¡°Boss, this badge belongs to the former technical consultant. Since he left, we have not looked for a technical consultant anymore.¡± Mona¡¯s words were a little strange. It was not that they could not find another one, but that they had stopped looking. Was a technical consultant a dispensable position? Simon asked, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you looking for another one anymore? Whose decision was it?¡± ¡°It was Mr. Hughes¡¯s decision.¡± At this point, Mona suddenly looked around and said in a low voice, ¡°You might not know this, but Douglas was the technical consultant!¡± Douglas? Simon felt that this name sounded a little familiar. He seemed to be his senior¡¯s schoolmate! The partner who tricked Hughes into taking on too much debt! ¡°Why are you still keeping his things?¡± Simon¡¯s tone was unpleasant. Such things that harmed the partners and the people in the company should not be left behind at all! ¡°Yes! I¡¯ll send someone to clean it up immediately!¡± Mona replied. She retreated to the side and called the people. Simon stood by the window and looked at the scenery outside. The buildings made of concrete and steel extended to the horizon, and one could not see the end of them. Standing at a high place, there was always a comfortable feeling of having an open mind. At this moment, Hughes¡¯ warning appeared in Simon¡¯s mind again. ¡°Be careful of the company¡¯s internal affairs!¡± It seemed that the work permit was a breakthrough point! Under what circumstances would they keep something that belonged to the boss¡¯s sworn enemy? They must have felt that his sworn enemy would return one day. That was why they didn¡¯t dare to throw them away! Simon was ecstatic! ¡°Mona, don¡¯t make the call yet!¡± Simon stopped her. ¡°Take me to the technical department to have a look first!¡± She hadn¡¯t figured out Simon¡¯s temperament yet, so Mona could only comply. She hung up the phone decisively. She turned sideways to lead the way and said, ¡°Boss, please follow me.¡± When he followed Mona to the technical department, Simon made a tour of the company one by one. Hughes really treated the company as if it was his own child. Although there were always minor problems, it could be seen from the work atmosphere and the enthusiasm of the employees that the company was well taken care of. If he didn¡¯t have any debts, he would definitely not sell! ¡°Boss, this way please.¡± Mona led Simon into the elevator. The company¡¯s technology department was on the sixth floor, and the Department Head¡¯s office was at the end of the corridor. ¡°Is the department head a senior?¡± Simon asked Mona. ¡°Yes, he was the first person to start the business with Mr. Hughes,¡± Mona answered truthfully. ¡°I heard that Mr. Hughes is your senior?¡± Simon did not shy away. ¡°Yes, he¡¯s my senior. The website was created by the two of us.¡± ¡°Sure enough, when I first saw you, I was a little surprised,¡± Mona said with a smile. As they chatted, the two became familiar with each other. Mona was not as distant as when they first met. She mustered her courage and walked side by side with him. Simon did not even have to turn his head. He could see Mona¡¯s breasts from the corner of his eyes. This capable woman caught Simon¡¯s interest. She was not an old employee, but she could temporarily act as the leader of Hughes. Besides being capable, there must be another layer of relationship. ¡°Mona, are you familiar with my senior?¡± Simon asked with a smile. ¡°Nothing can be hidden from your eyes,¡± Mona said. ¡°Indeed, Mr. Hughes and I were schoolmates. He asked me to come over and help.¡± Schoolmates too? There were so many schoolmates who were on good terms with the senior. Ever since he knew that Hughes had been cheated by Douglas, who was also a schoolmate, Simon was very sensitive to the word ¡°Alumnus¡±. Suddenly, Simon stopped in his tracks. Before he knew whether there was an internal member or a group of people who needed to be liquidated, he should not have walked to the technical department like this. Putting himself out in the open and letting the enemy be in the dark was the stupidest way! Simon knew that he should not walk any further! Seeing him stop, Mona asked in confusion, ¡°Mr. Simon, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ I suddenly remembered that I have something to do,¡± Simon said half-heartedly. If he went any further, it would be a death sentence! ¡°Then don¡¯t you want to go to the technology department?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t go for now. Just ask the people in the technology department to check and tell me!¡± ¡°Okay, I understand.¡± Mona bowed and said, ¡°Do you need me to drive you?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ll go back myself.¡± Simon rejected her kindness. Then, he hurried downstairs and left the building of the Creative Company. He was still young, so he couldn¡¯t confront the unknown enemy directly! Although he was unwilling, he could only lay low for now and gradually strengthen his strength. Even though he had an aunt and sisters, he still wanted to rely on his own strength! Simon stopped a taxi by the roadside and went home! An hour later, the taxi stopped outside the gate. Simon saw a fountain in the courtyard that looked like a landmark again. After paying, Simon got out of the car and pushed open the gate that was as gorgeous as a castle. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re back!¡± Jane waited at the door happily. Simon did not expect someone to be standing at the door. He smiled hastily and said, ¡°Eldest Sister, why are you standing at the door?¡± In the living room, Lydia poked her head out from the sofa. She smiled at Simon and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t come back soon, Eldest Sister will go out to look for you.¡± ¡°Look for me?¡± Simon did not understand. He was already so old, how could he get lost! ¡°Who told you not to bring a driver?¡± Lydia mocked. So that was the reason. The first time he entered the door, the eldest sister also wanted to send someone to pick him up. She seemed to have an endless amount of worry. ¡°Shut up!¡± Jane scolded Lydia, ¡°Eat your fruit!¡± Lydia playfully stuck out her tongue at Jane and obediently retreated into the sofa. After lecturing Lydia, Jane turned to Simon and put on a gentle smile. ¡°Simon, where have you been? Why have you been gone for so long?¡± Simon smiled and said, ¡°I went to the company to take a look.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand about running a company, you can come and ask me anytime!¡± ¡°Got it. Thank you, Eldest Sister.¡± Simon changed into his indoor slippers and asked again, ¡°Eldest Sister, how¡¯s your matter going?¡± ¡°Hehe.¡± Jane smiled sweetly. ¡°I wanted to talk to you about this..¡± Chapter 31 - Courage! Threw Away Those You Couldnt Keep! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Simon understood that Jane didn¡¯t simply like to talk about the company at home. Instead, she wanted to pass on the experience of running the company so that someone in the family could take her place at any time. So in the past, no matter how much her four sisters thought that business was boring, Jane still had to tell them. But to be honest, this method was a form of torture for both sides. However, ever since Simon came, Jane¡¯s focus had been entirely on him because he had a company and needed business experience. Now, the first thing Jane did when she returned home was to look for Simon. It was no exception on that day. She pulled Simon to sit down on the sofa. ¡°Eldest Sister, seeing that you¡¯re so happy, things should be going well.¡± Jane¡¯s joy was written on her face, and Simon could tell at a glance. ¡°You¡¯ve seen it.¡± Jane covered her mouth and laughed. ¡°Then this isn¡¯t a surprise.¡± She laughed so hard that it was as if her surroundings were surrounded by pink bubbles, making people unable to help but feel happy. Lydia came up to join in the fun. ¡°Sister, tell us about your methods to save the company¡¯s reputation. Let us learn!¡± ¡°You? Learn?¡± Jane could not believe what she had heard. Lydia actually took the initiative to learn how to deal with business. ¡°I¡¯m suddenly very interested. Tell me quickly!¡± Lydia urged. ¡°Yes, Sister, I want to hear it too.¡± Simon also echoed. Jane enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by her family the most. Seeing the eager faces of her younger siblings, Jane cleared her throat. She said in the gentlest voice, ¡°We¡¯ll give him a taste of the method he had used!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t that villain author frame us for using the overbearing clause to pressure him?¡± ¡°I signed directly to the literature website and gave these authors the most generous remuneration. I asked them to help us clean up the public opinion!¡± ¡°Brilliant idea!¡± Lydia praised her lackey. Jane was very pleased and touched her hair as if it was a reward. ¡°This is all thanks to the advice Simon gave me, even though these authors¡¯ standards are not as good as the authors who created the works.¡± ¡°But the opponent is after all a shell company. It¡¯s more than enough to handle them!¡± Simon nodded repeatedly when he heard that. This was as expected of the head of the Hilton Group. Her methods were swift and decisive, suppressing the negative impact of the group so quickly. ¡°Then the stock price should have risen back by now, right?¡± Simon asked. Jane waved her hand helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s not that fast. Public opinion needs to ferment, and the market also needs time to react.¡± ¡°At the moment, it¡¯s just suppressing the negative public opinion.¡± Hearing this, Simon¡¯s eyes lit up. It took time to restore her reputation, but with Jane¡¯s ability, she would only succeed and not fail. Wasn¡¯t this the best time to issue a mission?! There was no need to do any more work, he just needed to wait patiently! Simon called the system in his heart. ¡°Give Eldest Sister, the ¡®Return Rate System¡¯ a mission to restore the company¡¯s reputation and stabilize the stock price!¡± [Yes, immediately assign the mission¡­] Simon looked up at Jane. She, who was still talking, suddenly froze for a moment, then stood up and walked to the living room. After a while, Jane returned with a disdainful smile on her face. Lydia tilted her head in confusion. ¡°Eldest Sister, what¡¯s wrong? Why are you smiling so arrogantly?¡± ¡°Who¡¯s being arrogant!¡± Jane gently knocked her head. ¡°Can¡¯t I be happy?¡± Simon smiled without saying a word. This mission was no different from a pie falling from the sky. Jane would definitely be very satisfied. It would be a win-win situation! The timing was just right! Simon was very satisfied with the arrangement this time. ¡°Don¡¯t just talk about me, Simon. Tell me about your company,¡± Jane said with a smile. ¡°Eh? ! My Little Simon has a company?¡± Bennet came out of nowhere with a cup of red date tea in her hand and sat over excitedly. Suddenly, the whole family knew that he was in charge of the company. Simon was a little shy. He scratched his cheek and said, ¡°Aunt, it¡¯s a small company.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with a small company!¡± Bennet said with a smile, ¡°Great oaks from little acorns grow. Quickly tell aunt about it!¡± Simon also had some doubts about the Creative Company, especially when the internal situation was unknown. He was still very willing to consult his aunt and sisters to gain experience. ¡°Sister, you know that I obtained the Creative Company from my senior brother, right?¡± Lydia and Jane nodded at the same time. Bennet, who was out of the situation, was stunned for a moment before nodding as well. Simon continued, ¡°When I contacted my senior brother this morning, he specifically told me to be careful of the internal staff.¡± There was no need for further explanation. When the two managers of the company began to fall out of sync, there would definitely be mutual deception within the company. It was not uncommon for top management to be forced to take sides. Jane and Bennet immediately understood what was going on. Only Lydia was still out of the situation. ¡°So you went to the company to check on the people?¡± Jane asked. ¡°Do you have any leads?¡± Simon shook his head regretfully. ¡°When I arrived there, I found that the people in the technology department still had some of my senior¡¯s alumni, which was Douglas¡¯ stuff.¡± ¡°My understanding of the company is still blank.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if senior wants me to check on a single person or a group of people. Just to be on the safe side, I came back first and asked Mona to keep an eye on them for me.¡± The three of them nodded in understanding. ¡°Well done!¡± Bennet praised, ¡°A gentleman doesn¡¯t stand under a dangerous wall. You should stay far away from them and make a long-term plan.¡± ¡°Thank you, Aunt.¡± Simon smiled. ¡°But I still can¡¯t find anyone to check on.¡± Jane patted his shoulder and comforted him, ¡°This kind of thing can¡¯t be rushed, but I think you should have alerted the enemy by showing up at the company today.¡± As expected, it was too late¡­ Although he had thought about it, he did not expect it to really be confirmed. ¡°Simon, it¡¯s not that I want to discourage you. Maybe things will go back to the worst case scenario,¡± she said bluntly. Simon glanced at her and nodded affirmatively. He had just taken over the company not long ago, so his network was definitely not as good as Douglas. Moreover, between the new boss and the former boss who knew everything, the employees were more likely to choose the latter. After all, no matter how fierce the fights between the bosses were, the employees only cared about their own interests! Simon already had a rough idea of how to deal with the follow-up. He knew that it would be good enough if he could keep half of the company. Thinking of this, Simon could not help but frown. Seeing Simon¡¯s worried look, Jane could not bear it. She held his hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, Simon. No matter what the problem is, I will help you solve it!¡± ¡°Hmph, I will protect you! In San Tico City, no one dares to bully my precious nephew!¡± ¡°Aunty, Eldest Sister, thank you.¡± Simon felt warm in his heart and said gratefully. That was right, he was now backed by the Hilton Group! There was really nothing to be afraid of! But he might have let down senior brother Hughes. Simon was thinking about when to contact his senior brother again and tell him the news. ¡°Buzz buzz!¡± At this moment, Simon¡¯s cell phone rang! It was a call from Mona! Chapter 32 - Poached All the Authors? I Had Thought of a Solution! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Why did Mona call? Simon suddenly had a bad feeling. He picked up the phone. ¡°Mona? What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Boss, we are in trouble!¡± Mona was very anxious on the other end of the phone, and there was a hint of crying in her voice. There was no benefit in panicking at this time. Simon said calmly, ¡°There¡¯s no rush. Take your time.¡± ¡°Boss, you asked me to check out the people in the technical department today, so I gave the task to my subordinates.¡± ¡°In the end, the people in the technical department all resigned!¡± They left? Simon¡¯s expression changed. If the entire technical department left at the same time, the company would immediately be in a semi-paralyzed state! ¡°Only the technical department?¡± Simon asked. Mona on the other side of the phone was stunned. She had thought of Simon¡¯s thousands of reactions, but she had never expected him to answer like this. ¡°Do you know everything?¡± Mona asked in a low voice, ¡°Douglas poached the authors!¡± Sure enough! After taking a deep breath, Simon sneered. ¡°Boss, Douglas tampered with the content of the contract of the authors for some unknown reason.¡± ¡°They were poached at a high price! Now the content could not be updated and maintenance is down.¡± ¡°Sob¡­ sob, what are we gonna do?¡± As she spoke, Mona finally could not bear the pressure in her heart and cried out loud. She made a mess of the first assignment her boss gave her. She managed the company, even the contract had been tampered with but she did not know anything! It was too useless! ¡°Boss, I¡¯m sorry, sob sob sob, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Mona sobbed. Hearing her cry so loudly, Simon could not bear it. He comforted her softly, ¡°It¡¯s okay, this is not something you can stop.¡± Douglas was once the boss of the company, and he was also a technical consultant, so it was normal for the technical department to listen to him. But he was really insidious! He took the authors with him! Creative¡¯s core industry is the literary network, this was equivalent to being hollowed out the heart. ¡°Boss, sob sob sob, what should we do now?¡± Mona asked carefully. ¡°Go home and have a good sleep.¡± ¡°Boss, you¡¯re firing me?¡± ¡°Not fire you, it¡¯s a holiday. You must be under a lot of pressure. Go back and have a good rest. We can talk about other things tomorrow.¡± Hearing Simon¡¯s words, Mona felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She didn¡¯t expect that not only did Simon not scold her, but he even comforted her and told her to have a good rest. She had worked out for a few years and had changed bosses several times, but she had never met such a tolerant person. Apart from sadness, admiration grew uncontrollably. ¡°Boss¡­ Then I can really go back?¡± Mona asked uncertainly. ¡°Go.¡± ¡°If you need anything, please call me. I¡¯ll be on standby!¡± ¡°Oh right, send me the revised contract and the original contract first.¡± ¡°Understood!¡± After saying that, she hung up the phone. Then, Simon threw his phone on the table. Jane had been observing Simon the whole time. She did not hear what was said on the other side of the phone. She only saw that Simon¡¯s expression was not good. She asked worriedly, ¡°What happened to the company? You look terrible!¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Simon shrugged. ¡°Douglas did something really bad.¡± ¡°Ah???¡± Bennet and Jane opened their mouths wide. Lydia sat up from the sofa in shock. ¡°How much did you lose?¡± Jane was the first to calm down. She was first concerned about the loss. ¡°I lost the entire technology department and the authors.¡± Simon said it lightly. Lydia had no concept of business. She only knew that the matter was serious and did not know how serious it was. However, Jane and Bennet were different. They were both businessmen. They knew that this serious injury was enough to destroy the entire company! ¡°Little Simon¡­¡± Bennet squatted in front of Simon worriedly. She did not know how to comfort him. Jane¡¯s face was also solemn. She stared at her younger brother¡¯s face without blinking. There was one thing that she did not understand. Why was Simon not surprised at all when such a big thing happened? Even if he had expected it, he would not have been so calm, right? What was he thinking? Noticing that Jane was looking at him, Simon revealed a gentle smile. ¡°Aiyo, why are you still smiling?¡± Lydia became anxious for him. ¡°Aren¡¯t you worried?¡± Simon smiled but didn¡¯t say anything. What was done was done. What was the use of being anxious? It was better to think of a way to save it. ¡°Simon, if you need anything from me, just say it!¡± ¡°I will support you with all my might too!¡± Looking at the serious looks of the two of them, Simon nodded gratefully at them. What a joke. The support of his sister and aunty was equivalent to the support of the entire Hilton Group. As long as he spoke, any company could be restarted. Other than the outstanding management style and high-quality environment of the website, the other standards of the Creative Company were average. ¡°Aiyo! Why aren¡¯t you saying anything? Have you turned silly?¡± Lydia moved closer to Simon worriedly. Her face was so close that she almost kissed him. Simon quickly pushed her away and said with a bitter smile, ¡°I¡¯m fine, don¡¯t worry!¡± ¡°You¡¯re still fine! Your small company is almost gone!¡± Lydia cried out in surprise. It was as if she was the boss of the Creative Company. Seeing her shocked expression, her beautiful face was filled with cuteness. ¡°Pfft!¡± Simon could not help but laugh out loud. ¡°Little Simon, are you really okay? Don¡¯t scare me,¡± Bennet said as she covered her heart. She had seen too many people who went crazy because of bankruptcy. The more miserable they were, those people would laugh more. She would rather have Simon cry in her arms than see him smile and not speak. Simon smiled helplessly. ¡°I¡¯m really fine, Aunt, Sister.¡± ¡°I had a premonition about this outcome. I haven¡¯t taken over the company for long. I definitely won¡¯t be able to defend against Douglas.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright. I already have a way to save the company.¡± Hearing that, the three of them widened their eyes in shock. From the moment they heard the news until now, it had not been more than ten minutes. The three of them were all busy worrying and panicking. Simon, on the other hand, was silently thinking of a solution! Jane¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration. She did not expect her younger brother to be so mature despite his young age! Her mother had been in business for so many years, and she could not help but be carried away by emotions. Simon was actually able to get away from all this and use his calm judgment to deal with the sudden situation! Genius! A genius in business! Thinking of this, Jane couldn¡¯t help but want to pull Simon to the group to train him. How good would it be to have him by her side every day! Realizing that her thoughts had gone astray, Jane lowered her head shyly. ¡°Eldest Sister, I need your help to solve this matter,¡± Simon said with a smile. Seeing Jane looking at him in a daze, Simon nudged her. ¡°Eldest Sister, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Ah? Ah¡­ tell me.¡± Jane came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly. ¡°Heehee, Eldest Sister is mesmerized by Simon¡¯s handsome appearance!¡± Lydia narrowed her eyes and smiled maliciously. ¡°What are you talking about!¡± Jane glared at her and turned to Simon, ¡°What do you need me to help you with?¡± Simon smiled confidently, ¡°You¡¯ll know when you see the contract.¡± ¡°Buzz!¡± The contract was delivered! Chapter 33 - An Attack. A Small Scene. Steady! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Simon picked up his phone, opened the file that Mona had sent over, and looked at it carefully. The tampered contract had loosened the restrictions on the authors a lot. They had deleted the clause on the damages for breach of contract. The authors could come and go as they pleased. The website couldn¡¯t hold them accountable. It would take a lot of work to change so many things in the contracts. Douglas had been thinking about this when he screwed Hughes. He made up his mind not to give Hughes any chance to make a comeback but he didn¡¯t expect Hughes to sell the company to Simon. And behind him was the entire Hilton Group! No matter who comes, it would be like a praying mantis trying to stop a car! He was overestimating himself! ¡°This Douglas is too vicious!¡± Jane commented after reading the contract. She had always been lenient in her business. She would never force someone into a corner! This guy actually dared to treat Simon like this! Jane said angrily, ¡°I will help you find this b*stard now!¡± After saying that, she was about to call her subordinates. Simon hurriedly stopped her. ¡°Don¡¯t! Eldest Sister, I have something else that I need your help with!¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Jane sat down obediently. ¡°I want you to lend me the website that you just bought,¡± said Simon. Jane asked in puzzlement, ¡°What is your plan?¡± Simon smiled. ¡°I want to use it to connect the dots!¡± ¡°In order to facilitate the follow-up of the books on the site, in addition to signing the authors, the company will also sign the copyright.¡± ¡°I just looked at it. Although Douglas changed the author¡¯s contract, he didn¡¯t have the time to change the book contract.¡± ¡°I want to merge the two websites together, connecting the fame of Creative and the background of your acquisition of the website.¡± Jane instantly understood what Simon meant. He was trying to transfer Creative¡¯s website to another website. However, the level of the authors of the two websites was far from the same. It might not be able to hide from the readers. ¡°But even if you have the copyright, without the authors, the book cannot be written later,¡± Jane said worriedly. Simon said confidently, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I will temporarily seal these works and then increase the membership discount on the website to divert the readers¡¯ attention.¡± ¡°It may lose a portion of the readers, but in fact, the users of Creative would probably be more loyal than other websites.¡± ¡°This method can minimize the loss!¡± Hearing Simon¡¯s answer, Jane¡¯s tightly knitted brows slightly relaxed. However, although this method was good, the cost was not small. Her brother had thought of a solution, so as the older sister, of course, she had to support him with money. ¡°Your solution is very good! I will transfer a sum of money to you immediately!¡± Without saying anything, Jane raised her omnipotent small phone again. Simon raised his hand again to interrupt her. ¡°Eldest Sister, there¡¯s no need.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you have a huge sum of money?¡± Jane was slightly surprised. ¡°Of course not.¡± Simon could not help but laugh. How could there be so much money? Money did not fall from the sky. ¡°I have the copyright to some of the completed works in my hands. I want to sell them first,¡± Simon said. The quality of the novels produced by Creative was one level higher than that of other websites. They also had a large fan base. In the past, they had operated as a small workshop. The company had filmed their own films and had never sold them. But because it was not a professional film and television company, the quality of the finished products was not good, and it did not attract much attention. If they were willing to sell it now, it would definitely attract many film and television companies to fight for it! The words ¡°Creative Productions¡± were the best way to attract fans! ¡°Good idea!¡± Bennet slapped her thigh and excitedly stood up to walk two rounds. Now, when she looked at Simon¡¯s face, not only did she have tender love, but there was also an infinite amount of pride. She was so moved that her eyes were burning. ¡°Good child, I didn¡¯t know that you were so amazing!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll call your third sister right away and ask her to help you find a reliable film company!¡± The third sister that Bennet was referring to was the popular star, Mary. Simon had not officially met her, but he had seen the movies and television shows that she had starred in. They were all big productions and investments! It could be said that they were extremely popular. With Mary¡¯s connections in the film industry, the price would only be high and not low! ¡°Thank you, Aunt.¡± Simon let out a long sigh. Jane was still worried. ¡°No, Simon, the website I bought definitely can¡¯t compare to the Creative, and the background operation is even worse!¡± ¡°Just to be safe, let your fourth sister be the technical consultant!¡± Jane still did not know that Simon¡¯s programming skills were better than Catherine¡¯s. Just as she was speaking, the matter had already been arranged. She immediately called Catherine to ask her to come back. ¡°It¡¯s not good. Fourth Sister still has her project to attend to.¡± Simon pulled Jane back and told her to calm down first. To have a top student from Cambridge become a technical consultant for the literature network, wasn¡¯t it just wasting Catherine¡¯s talent?. Perhaps only Jane could think of this method. But Jane was a man of her word. ¡°What project can be more important than you?!¡± She directly dialed Catherine¡¯s number. The overbearing CEO¡¯s speech was really touching. Everyone in the family was arranged clearly. Simon was very touched to have a group of sisters who were thinking of him, but the eldest sister was really too strong. She was simply the same style as his aunt. Even if she cared about people, she also carried an irresistible domineering air! ¡°Buzz buzz!¡± Just as the family was busy, Simon¡¯s phone rang. Was it Mona? Simon thought it was something else at the company. He picked up the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and it was from overseas. After hesitating for a moment, Simon answered the call. ¡°Simon, it¡¯s Hughes. Are you hurt?¡± The person on the other end of the line asked without raising his eyebrows. Hmm? Where was he hurt? Was it his soul? Senior brother¡¯s greeting method was really special. ¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯m fine. Why do you ask such question?¡± Simon didn¡¯t understand. ¡°I already know about the company¡¯s matter. I¡¯m sorry for causing such a big loss to you,¡± Hughes blamed himself. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Senior Brother. I¡¯ve already found a solution.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Hughes said in surprise. But after a short moment of surprise, his voice instantly became dispirited. ¡°It¡¯s good that the company¡¯s matter has been settled, but you must protect yourself!¡± ???? Why did he keep emphasizing protecting himself? Hughes¡¯s words were vague, causing Simon to be confused. ¡°Senior Brother, what exactly happened?¡± Simon pressed. On the other end of the phone, Hughes sighed. Slowly, he said, ¡°I received an anonymous threatening letter. It mentioned that the company had collapsed.¡± ¡°I guess the letter was sent by Douglas just to show off to me.¡± ¡°The letter also mentioned you. I¡¯m afraid that he will harm you!¡± It sounded like Douglas was a very dangerous person. He had caused other people to be heavily in debt and yet he did not stop. He even threatened others¡¯ safety? ¡°I¡¯m very safe at home, ¡°Simon said solemnly. ¡°Senior Brother, how about you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m staying at a friend¡¯s house now. I¡¯m fine,¡± Hughes said tiredly. ¡°Douglas is very sinister. You have to be careful!¡± ¡°I got it.¡± With that, Simon hung up the phone. It just so happened that Jane had finished assigning tasks to her two younger sisters. She turned around and saw that Simon did not look well. She walked up to him and asked, ¡°Who called? What did they say?¡± ¡°Nothing, just that someone wants to threaten me.¡± ¡°Threaten?!¡± Jane said in surprise! Chapter 34 - Who Dared to Threaten Simon? I Would Find Someone to Protect You! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°That¡¯s too much!¡± ¡°How dare he threaten my dearest younger brother? I will teach him a lesson!¡± Jane was enraged and she slammed the table hard! She would never allow anyone to harm her family! Not even God! Douglas¡¯ threatening behavior was contempt for her family! It was a provocation! ¡°No! I must teach that person a lesson!¡± Jane was really angry. She was like the commander-in-chief of the operational command. She could give out any commands with the phone in her hand. After giving the order to her two younger sisters, she picked up the phone and was ready to make another call. Seeing that the situation was not right, Simon quickly stood up and stopped her. ¡°Big Sister, it¡¯s not that exaggerated! The threatening letter was not sent to me!¡± Jane looked at Simon lovingly and felt that her little brother was too pitiful. He was trying to run a business, yet he was being threatened by a villain! Compared to her little brother¡¯s experience, what she had encountered was nothing at all. No matter how she looked at him, she felt that Simon was sensible. She asked patiently, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. If he didn¡¯t threaten you, why did he call you?¡± ¡°He really didn¡¯t threaten me,¡± Simon said confidently. ¡°The letter was sent to my senior, and I was mentioned in it.¡± Hearing that, Jane¡¯s face didn¡¯t look any better. ¡°You made a deal with your senior brother alone. How did Douglas know?¡± Jane asked sharply. Simon had thought about this question too. He should have been seen by someone when he went to inspect the company. Otherwise, Douglas would not have acted so quickly. He took all the people away after he left. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because I showed up at the company¡­¡± Simon scratched his face and said. ¡°What?¡± Jane¡¯s voice instantly increased by an octave. ¡°You were seen by the other party?¡± Her scream was earth-shattering. Simon felt that he was not seen by the other party, but had his face peeled off. His sister was used to the storms in life. She was able to remain calm and composed whenever she encountered anything. How could the domineering CEO¡¯s demeanor disappear when she encountered something related to him? Simon did not know how to respond. This was probably the way his sister cared about him. ¡°The concern of a thief is more dreadful than his action. I¡¯ll definitely get rid of that person!¡± Jane said fiercely. Simon felt that the more he described it, the worse she became. Just now, Jane said that she would teach Douglas a lesson. Now, she was going to get rid of him! He might be turned into ashes later! It seemed that he had stopped Jane countless times on that day. ¡°Big Sister, don¡¯t. You really no need to do so!¡± Simon was so tired that he had to stop Jane again. ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that serious, Big Sister. The other party is bluffing, don¡¯t take it seriously! It makes us look like we¡¯re low-class!¡± He couldn¡¯t just ask Jane not to make a move, so he had to find a high-class reason. Jane seemed to remember that she acted like a firecracker on that day. She was easily ignited. It was indeed very embarrassing. She scratched her soft hair. She then confirmed, ¡°You really don¡¯t want me to make a move?¡± ¡°Thank you, Big Sister. There¡¯s really no need.¡± Simon shook his head with a bitter smile. He had said this sentence many times, and Jane finally listened to him. It was not easy¡­ Jane realized that she had lost her composure on that day. Usually, she was a man of her words, and no one dared to stop her actions. For her brother, she took back her words many times. Jane was unhappy, but she could only take a step back because of Simon. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll let him go for now,¡± Jane said unhappily. Simon heaved a sigh of relief as he finally dispelled his sister¡¯s dangerous thoughts. However, Jane was still worried. She kept feeling that someone would do something to Simon! No! She had to find a way to get the best of both worlds. Suddenly, an idea flashed through Jane¡¯s mind. The corners of her lips curled up into a smug smile. Since she could not get rid of that person, she could find someone to protect Simon! The Hilton Group was powerful and had almost reached an unshakable position as the overlord. As the saying went, greatness evoked criticisms. It was inevitable that some contemptible people would use underhanded tricks behind the scenes. Therefore, Jane secretly trained a group of bodyguards. In order to better protect her family, their training was basically similar to secret agents. Jane stole a glance at Simon and saw that he was focused on his conversation with Bennet. She silently walked to the side. She flipped to the bottom of her contact list and dialed a number with the name ¡°Z¡±. ¡°Boss, please give me your instructions!¡± A cold voice sounded. ¡°Pick two elites to my house.¡± ¡°Understood. May I know which lady are they protecting?¡± ¡°Not my sisters, but my younger brother.¡± The person on the other end of the phone was momentarily stunned before quickly replying, ¡°Understood.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let him find out.¡± ¡°Yes, Boss!¡± After giving out a simple task, Jane revealed a smile. Sure enough, she needed to take some action to feel at ease. After arranging everything, Jane walked back to the living room with a heart full of joy. She clapped her hands to let everyone look at her. ¡°Simon must be tired after going out today. Let¡¯s eat dinner earlier.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Speaking of eating, Lydia jumped up from the sofa happily. It would be better if she didn¡¯t ask them for dinner. When the dinner was mentioned, Simon¡¯s stomach growled. Bennet smiled and pulled Simon to sit at the dining table. Then, Jane asked the housekeeper to prepare dinner. During the meal, Lydia kept putting food into Simon¡¯s bowl. ¡°Wow, our Simon looks so handsome when he handles affairs. I¡¯m falling in love with you.¡± Bennet was grinning from ear to ear. She said to Lydia as if she was coaxing a child. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you marry him and become his wife?¡± ¡°Haha, sure.¡± Lydia winked at Simon and said, ¡°When my live broadcast career is successful, I will bring tens of millions of fans to marry you!¡± ¡°By then, we will hold a grand wedding and let all the netizens on the internet come to bless us!¡± Lydia replied straightforwardly. She was the typical example of someone who would cater to others¡¯ opinions! She even came up with a wedding plan. This imagination that was faster than the speed of light reminded Simon of the conversation he had with Bennet. If no one stopped her, they could talk until the baby was born. ¡°Come on, when you reach ten million fans, Simon might have become a father,¡± Jane mocked mercilessly. ¡°Big Sister, how can you discourage me? My fans are growing fast!¡± Lydia pouted her pink lips unwillingly. Her cute appearance made it seem like the whole world was bullying her. ¡°You¡¯re just lucky once in a while.¡± Jane did not know what Lydia was broadcasting. She just thought that she was lucky. ¡°Humph, Big Sister, you only know how to bully me. Simon did not even say that he would not marry me. Why are you so anxious?!¡± Lydia retorted. ¡°Simon is thin-skinned, I¡¯m helping him expose you!¡± ¡°You!¡± Lydia was about to die from anger. ¡°Big Sister is so anxious, I think you are more anxious to marry Simon!¡± ¡°What nonsense are you spouting!¡± Jane¡¯s face instantly turned red. At this moment, Bennet stepped forward and stood between the two sisters. ¡°Seeing that the competition between the two of you is so intense, let me say something fair.¡± ¡°Listen to Simon. Let¡¯s see who he wants to marry!¡± Huh? Why it was Simon¡¯s turn again? Chapter 35 - The Class Reunion That Came Out of Nowhere. Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Simon finally understood. Anyway, whenever the topic of getting married was brought up, it would always be about him. Simon smiled awkwardly and changed the topic. ¡°The soup today was pretty good.¡± ¡°Hahaha, Simon is shy.¡± Lydia placed another piece of lobster meat into his bowl. ¡°He is so cute.¡± ¡°Little Simon, quick, tell me which sister do you prefer?¡± Bennet asked excitedly. Simon didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. How was he going to escape the question? While drinking the soup, Simon raised his eyes and sized up Jane and Lydia. Noticing Simon¡¯s gaze, Lydia even deliberately straightened her chest, which she was proud of. Unfortunately, after the system empowered her, she still couldn¡¯t compare to Jane. Simon quickly averted his gaze. He coughed lightly and said, ¡°All the five sisters are very good to me. I like them very much.¡± ¡°Tsk!¡± Lydia pouted unhappily. ¡°That¡¯s a lie. You¡¯ve never met the Third Sister!¡± That was true. Simon nodded. That was indeed the case. The third sister, Mary, was attending a film festival and had never returned. ¡°By the way, Aunt, when can I meet the Third Sister?¡± Simon asked Bennet and changed the topic. Bennet didn¡¯t know much about her daughter¡¯s situation either. Ever since she handed over the company to Jane, she had also handed over the family matters to Jane. When she heard Simon¡¯s question, she turned around and asked Jane, ¡°Jane, shouldn¡¯t Mary have been back a long time ago?¡± ¡°She said that she was caught up in something and would come back after dealing with it,¡± Jane replied. Jane didn¡¯t know when, but she took out her phone and stared at the screen attentively. ¡°Big Sister, what are you looking at?¡± Lydia leaned over like a curious baby. Jane glanced at her. Her gaze was like a knife, telling her to pay attention to her eating etiquette. Then, she stared at Simon and said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ll get Barbara to select the potential authors.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll release the news first. Then, just leave the backstage operations to your Fourth Sister.¡± ¡°You just need to be a good boss.¡± Simon was delighted as he did not need to do anything himself. Simon nodded to show that he understood. Then, he added, ¡°Big Sister, if you want to release public opinion, just use the name of Creative. It will have an unintended effect.¡± ¡°Then, I am rubbing off on you!¡± This could be considered a collaboration. In the future, the Creative Company would have an invincible suffix behind its name ¨C Hilton! Simon also took the opportunity to assign tasks to Mona while they were eating. He asked her to seal the website first, remove the unnecessary items, and sell the ones that should be sold. After dinner, Simon went back to his room. Lydia had already signed in. Before she went to bed, she walked around the room again before she left reluctantly. Simon wanted Jane to sign in as well. However, he did not know why she locked herself in the room. After listening carefully, he could hear some voice coming from inside. She was probably busy with work. He did not want to disturb Jane, so he obediently went to his room. Then, he fell asleep in a daze. [Ding! The ¡®Return Rate System¡¯ has completed the mission. Congratulations to Host for obtaining a treasure box!] In the middle of the night, the system¡¯s voice rang once. Simon fumbled for his phone and took a look. It was four in the morning! Jane¡¯s mission was actually completed at four in the morning! What a bunch of workaholics! Simon turned over and closed his eyes to continue sleeping. ¡°Buzz buzz!¡± In the morning, Simon was woken up by the ringtone of his phone again. Who could it be so early in the morning? Simon scratched his hair in frustration. He did not even look at who was calling and directly picked it up. ¡°Hello, what¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Simon! Today is the class reunion, are you coming?¡± A cheerful male voice sounded. This voice was a little familiar¡­ Simon thought for a long time before he remembered that it was his roommate, Grote. Why was he only informed about the class reunion now? ¡°Ah¡­ Sure. What time?¡± Simon vaguely agreed. ¡°Twelve o¡¯clock. Third floor of Cahill Hotel. Remember to come on time!¡± ¡°Got it.¡± After hanging up the phone, Simon turned over and stared at the clear ceiling. He waited until the chaos in his mind had passed before he slowly got up. After washing up, he went downstairs to eat breakfast. When he came downstairs, he saw Jane eating breakfast and smiling with her phone in her hand. ¡°Big Sister, why are you so happy?¡± Simon walked to the dining table and sat down. He asked her with a smile. ¡°Simon, you¡¯re here.¡± There was a smile on Jane¡¯s face. ¡°Last night, I sent out the news about the acquisition.¡± ¡°With the authors¡¯ team, the effect is very good. Those negative influences have been cleared!¡± As expected of Jane, she was swift and decisive in doing things. The work that could only be completed in a few days had an initial effect in one day. The system reward that he heard last night was indeed not a dream. Simon counted that he already had two treasure boxes now. He could fuse the new treasure box again! Thinking about it, Simon was in a very good mood. ¡°Oh, Simon, are you busy today?¡± Jane took a sip of coffee and asked. ¡°There¡¯s a class reunion at noon,¡± Simon said. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right. You guys just graduated. You should get together.¡± ¡°Big Sister, do you have anything to tell me?¡± ¡°Nothing, it¡¯s regarding the movie company. Your Third Sister picked out a few for you.¡± ¡°Just leave them to Mona. I leave everything in the company to her.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Jane seemed to be in a very good mood. Almost every word carried a smile that could not be suppressed. It should not be just a matter of the company. Simon was a little curious and quietly clicked on the system. ¡°System, Big Sister completed the mission, what is the reward?¡± [Dear Host, her reward is the news diffusion speed has been increased!] Oh! No wonder the message sent in the middle of the night had such a good effect. The system was too humane. It knew the specific situation and the specific reward! ¡°Not bad!¡± Simon praised sincerely. He flipped through the system¡¯s records. [Ding! Detected relevant personnel entering the private territory, sign-in successful! Host receives 30,000 yuan reward!] [Ding! Detected relevant personnel entering the private territory, sign-in successful! Host receives 30,000 yuan reward!] Two sign-in records? Who was the relevant personnel? Judging from the sign-in time, it should have not been long after he fell asleep. Simon was slightly surprised and his eyes narrowed slightly. Other than his sisters, other people had entered his room last night! The security system of the mansion was so good, who could walk in without being detected? Simon could not understand. He looked up at Jane and asked, ¡°Big Sister, did any guests come to the house last night?¡± Jane was slightly stunned when she heard that and took a sip of coffee to cover it up. She forced a smile and said, ¡°Yes, some employees came to me last night to look for me to handle work. Were we disturbing you?¡± She felt a little uneasy. It was strange. How could Simon be so alert? With the skills of the two female bodyguards, they should not be stupid enough to be discovered by him¡­ No, she had to call them out later and ask them! The two female bodyguards were hired by her to protect Simon. In order not to affect his life and made Simon feel uncomfortable, Jane asked them to hide in the dark. She did not expect them to be discovered by Simon before they could do anything. She could not help but feel a little distressed. Looking at her troubled look, Simon concluded that Jane was most likely knew these two people based on his understanding of her. The eldest sister would not harm him, so he simply did not take it to heart. When they were about to finish eating, Jane suddenly said, ¡°Oh, Simon, your Third Sister will be back today..¡± Chapter 36 - Met Dennis Again. What New Tricks Was He Playing?! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The third sister was coming back? Simon nodded. ¡°I haven¡¯t said hello to the Third Sister. When will she be home?¡± Seeing that her brother was so sensible, Jane smiled gently. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so polite.¡± ¡°Actually, the driver was called away by your Fifth Sister today. When you want to come back, ask your Third Sister to pick you up.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t take a taxi alone, do you know it¡¯s not safe?¡± Simon laughed in his heart. Jane was really overprotective. Simon was already so old, could the taxi driver sell him out? ¡°Did you hear what I said?¡± Jane frowned slightly and stared at Simon with a serious face. ¡°Yes, I know, Big Sister.¡± ¡°If you know it, then do it. I¡¯ll send Mary¡¯s number to you.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you, Big Sister.¡± After breakfast, Jane rushed to work. Simon wandered around the house twice but did not find any new faces, so he could only give up. It was eleven o¡¯clock. Looking at the clock on the wall, it was almost time for the appointment. Simon found a slightly formal outfit to put on and left the house with his cell phone. Actually, he was still a little confused about this class reunion. After all, when he was in school, he was busy studying. He was alone most of the days and didn¡¯t know his roommates very well. And many were always against him because of Dennis. Many people who wanted to curry favor with Dennis also didn¡¯t like him, and they often found fault with him in a weird way. There were no good memories of his school days. However, on second thought, they would go their separate ways after they graduated, and probably they might never see each other again. After all, they had been classmates for four years, so Simon still wanted to take a look. The taxi stopped at the ground floor of the Cahill Hotel. This was a famous top-class hotel in San Tico. It was designed by a famous international designer using a palace as a prototype. Just by standing at the door, one could smell the luxury. When the bellman saw a car parked at the entrance, he hurriedly went forward to open the door. Walking up the spiral staircase, the door of the banquet hall on the third floor was wide open, and soothing music slowly flowed out. Just as Simon reached the door, a huge crystal chandelier came into view. The entire banquet hall was mainly made of crystals. The air in the hall was filled with the sweet smell of cake. Rather than calling it a class reunion, it was more like a dance party. Female students wearing all kinds of dresses bloomed around the hall like flowers. A piece of ancient music was played by their high heels. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Mr. Top Student? I¡¯m sorry for not welcoming you!¡± Simon heard the voice before he saw the man. Simon laughed grimly. It was really an inevitable clash between opposing factions. He was too familiar with this voice. Who else could it be but Dennis? He did not expect that after being fired by him, Dennis still had the face to appear at the class reunion. ¡°Yo, Dennis, have you found a new job?¡± Simon smiled and greeted him. If Dennis behaved himself, nothing would have happened between them. If Dennis dared to come and ask for trouble, then he should not blame Simon! When Dennis heard Simon¡¯s ridicule, not only did he not shrink back, he was even more pleased with himself. He moved closer to Simon¡¯s ear and said sternly, ¡°Simon, don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know that Creative is about to close down.¡± ¡°You¡¯re just a general without an army, what are you pretending in front of me!¡± ¡°If you know what¡¯s good for you, then admit your mistake. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be in big trouble.¡± Simon snorted in disdain. Dennis was such a person who never learned from his mistakes. Perhaps he thought that Simon was very tolerant. Moreover, he was quite quick to receive news. He actually knew about the internal affairs of the Creative Company so quickly. Thinking about it carefully, Dennis was in the technology department. Simon suddenly felt that this matter was interesting. Could it be that Dennis and Douglas had a connection? He raised his head and looked at the person in front of him carefully. The person in front of him was arrogant but incapable. Although Douglas was sinister, he was not so desperate that he would use anyone. Simon felt that he was thinking too much. ¡°Dennis, why are you so concerned about my company? Do you want to apply for a job?¡± Simon countered calmly. ¡°Bah! Such a lousy place!¡± Dennis gritted his teeth. ¡°I don¡¯t even want it!¡± ¡°Then mind your own business and don¡¯t ask too much!¡± ¡°What did you say!¡± A young man behind Dennis stepped forward. Simon recognized him. He was a classmate from the class next door. They often attended open classes together. His name seemed to be Ryan. He was probably the most persistent follower among Dennis¡¯s many followers. He had changed his class for himself. ¡°Ryan, you¡¯re still here,¡± Simon said with a hint of disdain. Ryan saw that Simon greeted him impolitely, so he seethed with anger. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to come up and smack him. Suddenly, a pastry fork flew out of nowhere and hit the back of Ryan¡¯s hand, leaving a red mark. Ryan cried out in pain, ¡°It hurts! Who threw it?!¡± His voice was extremely unpleasant and attracted the attention of everyone in the ballroom. At the same time, they noticed Simon at the door. ¡°Simon! You¡¯re here.¡± Simon¡¯s roommate, Grote, welcomed him warmly. ¡°I thought you forgot to come.¡± Grote was a friendly person, and he was as cheerful as Lydia. He was also closer to Simon than his other roommates. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely come as promised,¡± Simon replied with a smile. ¡°Hahaha, Dennis kept talking about you just now. I was going to give you another call,¡± Grote said. Oh? Dennis kept talking about him? It seemed that Dennis had been dreaming of avenging himself. He must have come prepared on that day. Simon would like to see what tricks he had up his sleeve. Simon smiled grimly. ¡°Dennis, what did you say about me?¡± Dennis didn¡¯t expect Grote to be so quick-witted. Before he could do anything, Simon had seen through him. His face turned pale, and he couldn¡¯t say a word. Simon put his hands in his pockets and waited calmly for Dennis to put on a good show. But in fact, ever since he was fired by Simon a day ago, Dennis had been traumatized. He kept looking at the elevator, anxiously waiting for someone. When he saw Simon¡¯s expression as if he was watching a show, he could only grimace and say ¡°cordial greetings¡±. ¡°Just laugh as you wish, you¡¯ll cry later!¡± Simon raised his eyebrows. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait.¡± There was nothing. He had waited for nothing¡­ He should not have thought that Dennis could come up with any tricks. Boring! Simon rolled his eyes and beckoned for Grote to enter the hall. ¡°Simon, I heard from Dennis that you¡¯ve taken over Hughes¡¯ company. Congratulations!¡± Grote did not shut up and congratulated him loudly. The people around them heard it and saw that Simon had suddenly changed. Simon understood that he used to be a dull top student in the eyes of his classmates, but now he was a top student with a successful career. After all, there were only a few people in the entire school who became boss three days after graduation. The people who were chatting with each other just now instantly gathered together. ¡°Simon, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so amazing!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve always admired you when we were in school!¡± The praises were endless, but they were not very sincere. Looking at the students who did not have their own opinions like sheep, Simon only smiled politely. At this moment, he saw Dennis, who was at the periphery of the crowd, looking at him sinisterly. If it was in the past, Dennis would definitely try his best to snatch the attention away when he saw that Simon was being pursued by others. He actually allowed his classmates to surround Simon on that day as if everything was within his expectation. Simon couldn¡¯t help but wonder what he had prepared? Chapter 37 - A Small Celebrity Gave Me Her Autograph? Who Were You? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Simon, you became a boss after you graduate. You¡¯re the most promising person in our class.¡± ¡°You worked the hardest when we were in school. How enviable!¡± ¡°Come, let¡¯s toast our friendship as classmates!¡± Simon silently raised his goblet. He was like a rising star in the limelight. Dennis seemed to have only talked about the first half of the story to his classmates, but he did not mention the crisis that happened in the company later on. As expected, he harbored evil intentions. Simon took a sip of the champagne in his goblet and smiled politely at his classmates. Then, he passed through the crowd and left the swirl of flattery. He pulled Grote aside and pointed in Dennis¡¯s direction. ¡°Grote, do you know who Dennis is waiting for?¡± Simon asked in a low voice. ¡°He just said that he is a very powerful big shot,¡± Grote answered truthfully. A big shot? Based on his understanding of Dennis, as long as someone was more powerful than him and was older than him, Dennis would call him a big shot. More importantly, there were too many such people. For a moment, Simon could not think of anyone. ¡°But Simon, after you became the boss, your taste has improved a lot!¡± Grote praised. ¡°Really?¡± Simon had no idea about dressing up. He just saw a lot of new clothes in the closet. In order to avoid the awkward situation of being treated as an interview candidate in the company like last time, he deliberately picked a more formal one. ¡°Of course! I can see that this is just a concept. It only appears in the press conference!¡± Grott touched his chin. Although he studied science and technology, he loved to chase after celebrities. He also knew a lot about fashion. The more he looked at Simon¡¯s clothes, the more he liked them. Simon bowed his head and looked at himself. He was wearing a gray casual suit. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary style. The cut of the collar and the pattern of the cuffs showed the careful mind of the designer. And most importantly, this suit was very suitable for his body shape. It seemed to be customed made. ¡°Yup! The more I look at it, the more it looks like a concept piece. Where did you get it?¡± Grote carefully touched the fabric of the suit. He could not put it down. Simon smiled and said, ¡°Maybe it was prepared by my sister.¡± ¡°Wow, your sister really has good taste! She must be a model, right?¡± Simon shook his head. It was a pity that there was talented student and CEO among his sisters, but none of them was a model. But thinking about it carefully, this suit was most likely prepared by his third sister. She was a star, and also a trendsetter. Simon touched the suit fondly and he could feel his sister¡¯s good intentions. ¡°Aiyo, it¡¯s so lively here today!¡± At this moment, a delicate girl walked in, and she was holding a young man¡¯s arm. The young man¡¯s body was like a bamboo pole, and he seemed like he would collapse if he was blown lightly. The girl beside him was very pretty. She had an oval face and a small waist, and her pair of snow-white long legs occupied everyone¡¯s attention. However, her chin was frighteningly sharp, and it was obvious that it had been fixed. The two of them swayed to the center of the hall, receiving the baptism of gazes. Dennis hurriedly went up to him. ¡°Senior Chasel, you¡¯re finally here!¡± The man called Chasel lit a cigar and said casually, ¡°Let me introduce you to my girlfriend, Sofia, the belle of the Glynton Acting Academy!¡± Simon had heard of Chasel. He was the only son of a real estate tycoon in San Tico. Although he was from the school next door, everyone knew of his glorious deeds of racing Ferraris in school. He liked to show off as much as Dennis. However, Simon admitted that Chasel was really rich. He was fundamentally different from Dennis, who pretended to be rich. He was a typical playboy. ¡°Wow, that girl is so beautiful! I think I¡¯ve seen her in a short movie before!¡± Grote praised sincerely. A short movie? Was it the kind of short movie that Simon had in mind? ¡°If you¡¯ve seen it, don¡¯t say it out loud. Be careful that she would come over and beat you up!¡± Simon reminded him out of kindness. ¡°Hahaha, you¡¯ve misunderstood. It¡¯s not those short movies.¡± Grote explained, ¡°It¡¯s a small-budget movie.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it natural for a student from an art academy to act in a movie?¡± ¡°This is my first time getting close to an actress.¡± Grote said excitedly, ¡°Simon, let¡¯s go and get an autograph together!¡± As he spoke, he did not care if Simon was interested or not. Grote pulled Simon and ran to the two of them. ¡°Hello, Miss Sofia. I¡¯m a fan of yours. Can you please give me an autograph?¡± Grote¡¯s action delighted Sofia. She covered her mouth and her eyes narrowed into slits. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s just a movie. It¡¯s not a big deal.¡± As she said that, she pulled out a pen from her strapless dress as if she was performing magic. She slightly raised her fingers and signed Grote¡¯s white shirt. ¡°Oh my, are you here to ask me for an autograph too?¡± Sofia noticed Simon. Simon was a handsome man with outstanding temperament and wore very tasteful clothes. Sofia condescendingly took the initiative to strike up a conversation. Her smiling eyes and her sharp chin made her look like a fox! Being stared at by such a covetous gaze, Simon took a step back. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not.¡± Sofiia did not expect to be rejected. The tip of the pen she raised froze in the air. The students who heard this looked over, and the scene was extremely awkward. They didn¡¯t know each other anyway. Was there a problem? Simon looked at the crowd in confusion. In the blink of an eye, he saw Chasel glaring at him with dissatisfaction. Simon thought to himself that Chasel couldn¡¯t blame him for this, right? He really didn¡¯t know his girlfriend. She forcefully wanted to give him an autograph, and no one was allowed to reject her! ¡°Dennis, are you talking about this kid?¡± Chasel looked at Simon with displeasure. ¡°Senior, that¡¯s him!¡± Dennis seemed to have finally found an opportunity and smiled proudly. Chasel smiled contemptuously and did not even look at Simon. ¡°You? I heard that you took over someone else¡¯s mess and still call yourself the boss, right?¡± His inquiring ability was not good. He did not find out everything. ¡°I am indeed the boss, but I did not take over a mess,¡± Simon said politely. Hearing that, Chasel laughed out loud. ¡°Who are you kidding? You even have the nerve to call yourself the boss with that small Creative Company?¡± ¡°Creative¡¯s partner ran away with the money, and you¡¯re still in a hurry to take over. Do you really think you¡¯ve gotten a great deal, and you¡¯re still putting on airs with me!¡± Ran away? Took over? When the people around heard that, the way they looked at Simon suddenly changed. There was no obvious emotion on their faces, but their bodies had taken a step closer to Chasel. Only Grote, who was next to Simon, did not move. Simon was not surprised at this reaction. It was normal for a student who had just graduated and was in a hurry to find a job to move closer to someone who looked rich and powerful. ¡°Simon, so you¡¯re so miserable!¡± Grote said sympathetically. Simon realized that this kid was really kind-hearted and simple-minded. He was completely different from that motley crowd! ¡°It¡¯s not that bad. I¡¯ve already solved the problem.¡± Simon smiled. Chasel did not want to let him go. He continued to ridicule, ¡°You will be stricken by lightning for being pretentious! Your Creative Literary Network is now selling the copyrights.. You¡¯ve already dug out all your assets!¡± Chapter 38 - The Third Sister Arrived. All Demons and Monsters Should Leave Now! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chasel was indeed Chasel. His source of news was much more reliable than Dennis¡¯s. He could relate to what happened last night on that day. Simon looked coldly at the three people who were laughing at him. They had indeed come prepared. Dennis had deliberately told his classmates that he had become the boss so that his classmates would come and flatter him. Yet, in reality, he had found a more powerful character to expose Simon. What a good show he had put on. Seeing Chasel target Simon, Grote came out to smooth things over. ¡°Mr. Chasel, Simon is already so miserable. Please stop exposing his wounds.¡± ¡°He¡¯s always studying and doesn¡¯t know much about movies. It¡¯s pardonable that he doesn¡¯t know Miss Sofia.¡± ¡°Pardonable?¡± Sofia snorted. ¡°He¡¯s wearing a fashionable suit. It can¡¯t be a fake, right?¡± If even Grote could recognize the concept suit, Sofia must know more about it. She would definitely seize the opportunity to mock Simon. Who asked him to be insensible and make her lose face! He actually used a fake to confuse her? If it wasn¡¯t because Simon was well-dressed, how would Sofia pay attention to him? ¡°Hahaha, Miss Sofia, you¡¯re exaggerating. Simon is famous for being poor, how can he afford to buy genuine clothes!¡± Dennis followed along and stepped on him. The three of them spoke one after another. Ten minutes ago, Simon was a successful person with good taste. Now, he had become a poor pretentious person who wore fake clothes. It was really very magical. Grote didn¡¯t expect that he would attract even crazier ridicule after refuting for Simon. His thick eyebrows hung upside down on his forehead as he looked apologetically at Simon. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Simon. I didn¡¯t expect things to turn out this way.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± Simon said coldly. ¡°It¡¯s not your fault.¡± They were definitely the ones at fault. He didn¡¯t want to be calculative and appear petty before them. But if he tolerated them, they would not be satisfied with small gains. They could laugh at him, but they couldn¡¯t laugh at the clothes Simon¡¯s sister had prepared. Simon snorted. ¡°Just a small crisis, yet you three are laughing so happily.¡± ¡°Hehe, a small crisis? The entire company has been taken away, and you¡¯re still pretending!¡± Chasel sneered. ¡°Please be considerate, Senior. He only became a boss for a day, yet he¡¯s back to being a poor student now. It¡¯s a little unacceptable for him.¡± ¡°Hurry up and take off the fake clothes on you. They¡¯re such an eyesore!¡± The three people¡¯s words became more outrageous. Even the other students couldn¡¯t take it anymore and silently walked to the side. Grote held Simon¡¯s hand and said indignantly, ¡°Simon, they¡¯ve gone too far. We¡¯re not going to be bullied here!¡± Seeing his indignant look, Simon was a little touched. He did not realize that Grote was quite nice. He actually had such a sense of justice! ¡°Thank you, Grote,¡± Simon said with a smile. He was mentally prepared before coming here. These taunts were nothing to him. He could not be bothered to argue with them! Just as the two of them were about to leave, Dennis stopped them again. He pulled out a row of uneven teeth and said grimly, ¡°Last time, I let you immensely enjoy being a boss by getting someone to kick me out. Now, I¡¯m going to return the favor!¡± He was like chewing gum. Troublesome! Simon rolled his eyes at him and said, ¡°Dennis, since we are classmates, don¡¯t push your luck!¡± Seeing that Simon finally refuted, Dennis felt that it was not enough to just talk, so he directly started to fight. He patted Simon¡¯s shoulder. ¡°What? You still want to teach me a lesson?¡± ¡°Go ahead and try!¡± Simon glared at him with disdain. Dennis didn¡¯t have any other skills, but he was the best at courting death. He didn¡¯t believe it and raised his hand to touch Simon again. Suddenly, there was a whoosh in the air! Plop! A plastic fork hit the back of Dennis¡¯s hand. ¡°Ah!¡± Dennis felt pain and retreated to the side with his hand covered. This scene seemed familiar. Simon stared at the pastry fork on the ground. Dennis¡¯s follower seemed to have been hit before. A small plastic fork could also unleash the power of a hidden weapon. Who was it? Simon looked around and found no one. ¡°Senior! He hit me!¡± Dennis ran to Chasel like a stray dog, wagging his tail and begging for mercy. Chasel seemed to have caught onto something about Simon as he walked forward with a smile. He stood before Simon with his skinny body. ¡°You still dare to hit people? I think you don¡¯t want to live anymore!¡± As he spoke, his withered hands grabbed onto Simon¡¯s face. Simon looked at them with disdain. With his small body, Simon was afraid of breaking him if he exerted too much strength. At this moment, a cold female voice sounded. ¡°Don¡¯t touch him!¡± Hearing this, everyone turned to look at the door. A woman in a white dress stood at the door. Her light golden hair reached her waist, and her eyes swept across the crowd without any emotion. Finally, her gaze fell on Simon. The woman smiled gently at him like the sun was shinning on the snow. It was his third sister, Mary! Why was she here? Although it was their first official meeting, there was a photo of the five sisters in Simon¡¯s room. Among the beauties in Bennet¡¯s family, Mary was the most beautiful and eye-catching one! ¡°Wow! Wow! Am I dazzled? It¡¯s Mary!¡± Grote shook Simon¡¯s arm excitedly. To him, seeing Mary was like seeing a fairy. Just when everyone was surprised at why a big star would appear here¡­ Sofia stepped forward with small steps. She was also an actress. Sofia was like a chicken meeting a phoenix after she saw Mary. She bowed humbly and said, ¡°Hello, Miss Mary. My name is Sofia. Last time I visited the crew, you gave me your autograph!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t remember.¡± Mary did not even look at her. She walked around her like she was walking around a roadblock. Sofia¡¯s face turned red. She bit her lips and looked at Mary¡¯s back unwillingly. Under everyone¡¯s surprised gaze, Mary walked up to Simon. She smiled and said, ¡°This outfit suits you very well. It¡¯s not in vain that I specially brought it back from the show. Do you like it?¡± ¡°I like it very much. Thank you, Third Sister.¡± Third sister? What was going on? Everyone stared at the two of them in shock. They had been classmates for four years, but they had never heard that Simon had an elder sister. And¡­ his sister was actually a superstar?! He was too secretive! Everyone¡¯s envious gazes made Simon uncomfortable, but Mary seemed to be used to everyone¡¯s attention. She chatted with Simon as if there was no one else around. ¡°I¡¯ve already contacted ten film and television companies for you. They heard that it¡¯s an IP from Creative, and they¡¯re all fighting to get it.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re not satisfied with the price, just tell me. I¡¯ll find something else for you, okay?¡± How could he not be satisfied? Mary was a hot female celebrity in the industry, and she had the support of the Hilton family behind her. She truly had a strong family background! Even if it was just a piece of blank paper, there would be many people in the industry who would want to buy it just to buy favor. Although Mary¡¯s voice was not loud, she deliberately said it for Chasel and the others to hear. Looking back at the shocked faces of Chasel and the other two, Mary avoided her gaze with disdain. It was cruel to oneself to look at an ugly person a few more times! Chapter 39 - The Acting Was So Bad, Lets Go! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chasel was an average-looking guy, and his body was frighteningly thin. Even if others respected him verbally, they would still stab him behind his back. So in order to cover up his shortcomings, the first criterion for his girlfriend was she must have a delicate face! As long as his girlfriend was more beautiful, the focus of others would always be on how rich he was! So, he found Sofia from the art academy. One of them wanted money, while the other wanted fame. They hit it off! However, he never expected that the school belle he found would one day be completely outclassed! Looking at Mary¡¯s fairy-like temperament, he then looked at the chin of the snake spirit beside him. Chasel began to doubt his own aesthetic judgment. He wished he could gouge his own eyes out! Mary was really the type who could unify aesthetic judgment! ¡°Simon, pinch me quickly. Did I really see Mary?¡± Grote¡¯s eyes lit up. He held onto Simon, unwilling to let go. He would never have dreamed that his roommate was actually the younger brother of the goddess! Why didn¡¯t he discover it earlier?! Taking a few gulps of air, Grote was so excited that he was sweating profusely. Mary smiled at him and said, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Simon¡¯s sister. Thank you for protecting Simon just now.¡± As she said that, she took the initiative to extend her hand. Grote licked his lips and wiped his hand forcefully on his clothes twice. Only then did he hold Mary¡¯s hand lightly, feeling overwhelmed by her favor. At that moment, he felt a numbing electric current spread through his entire body from his hand. He was so happy that he was about to faint. ¡°Hehe, Simon, your friend is really interesting.¡± Mary retracted her hand with a smile. Simon scratched his head. ¡°Third Sister, how long have you been here?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Mary turned around and looked coldly at the three of them. ¡°I¡¯ve been standing at the door for a while.¡± Simon smiled helplessly. From Mary¡¯s attitude towards Grote, he knew that she had heard everything. She knew who was his friend and who was his enemy. The three people standing not far away heard Mary¡¯s ice-cold voice and were so scared that they broke out in a cold sweat. Sofia was the worse among them. She wanted to be an actress in the future. However, not long after she graduated, she offended the most popular senior in the circle. She looked at Chasel and then at Mary. Her eyes rolled around. A man was definitely not as important as her future. As long as she was thick-skinned and apologized, she would definitely be forgiven! She pursed her lips and walked to Simon¡¯s side. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for being blind by the fact. I didn¡¯t recognize your clothes. I apologize to you.¡± She hooked her finger and stretched it towards Simon. As if he saw a drop of dirty water flying over, Simon took a step back in disgust. Mary warned in disgust, ¡°Don¡¯t touch him!¡± Sofia retracted her finger in shock. At this time, someone in the group said, ¡°She is enamored with new people and bored with the old. He¡¯s being cuckolded in public!¡± Some things were completely different when seen and said. Sofia felt greatly embarrassed. She said impudently, ¡°What do you mean by she is enamored with new people and bored with the old? I¡¯m just here to apologize!¡± ¡°Miss Mary, I was my bad. I¡¯m sorry. I apologize to you and your brother.¡± ¡°Go away.¡± Mary waved her hand as if she was shooing away flies, not giving her any respect. Sofia did not expect her to be so straightforward. Her face turned red and pale, and she walked to the side in a daze. Simon did not expect Mary, who spoke gently and treated people with a smile in front of the screen, to be so cold and aloof in real life! After entering the hall, she smiled twice, one to himself and the other to his friend. The people watching the show were also discussing it. How Chasel had mocked Simon just now was now being returned to him a hundred times over. It was as if there were nails on his feet, he stood motionlessly on the spot. Simon stared at his dazed look and knew that he was afraid because behind Mary was the Hilton Group, and so was he. After offending the Hilton Group, there was basically no development for him in San Tico! Chasel considered himself more superior than others, and he was also extremely clear about the rules of those people. At this time, not only did he have to admit his mistake, but he also had to show his stance! At least he had to make the other party happy! There was only one way. He should give up the rook to save the king! Then, Chasel made up his mind. He turned around and slapped Dennis with his palm! The sound was as loud as firecrackers. Simon did not expect that the skinny Chasel would be so strong. He must have exerted all his strength! Dennis was stunned by the slap, and the area where he was hit instantly swelled up. He covered his face, and tears burst out. Chasel did not give him a chance to speak. He pointed at his nose and scolded, ¡°B*stard! Don¡¯t you see what kind of person you are!¡± ¡°You deliberately hid Mr. Simon¡¯s identity! You lied to me to be your accomplice!¡± ¡°You better pray that Mr. Simon will be appeased today, or I will definitely not let you off!¡± What kind of show was this? Was it a show of turning over a new leaf? It was so boring. It had to be said that Chasel¡¯s acting was really bad. While speaking the improvised lines, he still looked at Simon¡¯s side with a guilty conscience. He wanted to decide his next acting based on the audience¡¯s reaction? Simon laughed in his heart. It was too late for him to be remorseful. As a professional performer, Mary looked at this scene in disbelief. How could there be such terrible acting skills in this world? Even kindergarten children were more passionate than him when they read the text. Such an eyesore! Mary couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. She turned her eyes to Simon. ¡°The air here is too cloudy. Let¡¯s go back.¡± Simon had seen enough and nodded in agreement. ¡°We would be in time for lunch when we reach home.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mary smiled gently and said to Grote, ¡°You¡¯re welcome to our house when you¡¯re free.¡± Grote¡¯s eyes were wide open as he nodded his head. ¡°Sure! Sure!¡± After they bid farewell to Simon¡¯s friends, Mary walked to Simon¡¯s side and held his arm as they left together. In the eyes of others, it felt like they were walking down the red carpet. They widened their eyes and opened their mouths as they watched the two of them until they could not even see their backs. The two of them got down to the garage and a low-profile black BMW parked in the corner. After getting into the car, Mary immediately put on her sunglasses and mask. ¡°When we go out later, keep your head down a little,¡± she instructed gently. Simon nodded. He understood what Mary was doing. She was a famous female celebrity, and there might be cameras aimed at her at any moment. There might be countless cameras aimed at them as soon as they got out of the garage. Then, the entertainment headline would be ¡°Popular actress, Mary is dating a young hunk at the hotel!¡± the next day. Brother and sister became a couple? It would be hard for them to argue. Then, Mary drove the car and left Cahill Hotel. After ten minutes, Mary asked Simon to raise his head. ¡°Simon, you may get up.¡± ¡°Sorry for troubling you today, Third Sister. You even made a trip for me.¡± Mary tilted her head to look at him and smiled gently. ¡°Why are you so polite?¡± Her smile was like the melting snow in winter. It was worthy of any headline. She was a born female star! Chapter 40 - New Skills, Expert-level Writing! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Among all the women Simon had seen, Mary was the most beautiful. Although Mary was always expressionless, her eyes seemed to speak. They were like a vortex, one would fall into it if one took another look. ¡°Simon, what are you looking at?¡± Mary asked in confusion. ¡°Ah¡­ I just think that Third Sister is so beautiful!¡± Simon answered honestly. ¡°Glib tongue.¡± The corner of Mary¡¯s mouth rose slightly as she smiled very happily. ¡°No, I¡¯m telling the truth!¡± ¡°I know, it¡¯s the truth.¡± Mary felt strange. The words of praise for her beauty would always callus her ears, and she had not felt anything in her heart for a long time. However, Simon was different. Listening to him made her feel very happy. Due to her work, she had only heard about Simon from her sisters. Lydia said that she would feel very happy talking to Simon. At first, she did not believe it, but now it seemed to be true. Mary could not help but sneak a glance at Simon. He was indeed much more handsome and mature than when he was young. ¡°I heard from Big Sister that you started a company and managed to survive the ambush of others?¡± Mary rarely took the initiative to talk to others. But after being brainwashed by her sisters for a few days, she was very curious about Simon at the moment. ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Big Sister¡¯s help,¡± Simon answered modestly. ¡°Don¡¯t be modest. Big Sister said that you were the one who deployed it, and she was dumbfounded!¡± Mary did not spare any effort to praise Simon. Just as Jane said, her brother was really modest and polite. It was impossible not to like him. Simon felt a little embarrassed when Mary kept praising him. He scratched his head and did not know how to respond. According to Mary¡¯s description, Jane must have praised him to the skies. However, when it came to the eldest sister¡­ Simon suddenly remembered something that he was very concerned about. He said with a probing tone, ¡°Third Sister, can I ask you something?¡± ¡°Ya, sure.¡± Simon held his chin and said thoughtfully, ¡°Just now, when I was at the class reunion, I had an argument with my classmates.¡± ¡°When they wanted to fight, a pastry fork came out of nowhere and hit them.¡± ¡°Two times in a row. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a coincidence, so I would like to ask you.¡± He remembered Jane¡¯s abnormal behavior in the morning. His intuition told him that this was related to her! After listening to Simon¡¯s story, Mary couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth and laugh until her whole body trembled. ¡°Third Sister, what are you laughing at?¡± Simon asked in confusion. Mary laughed until her tears came out and she wiped the corners of her eyes. ¡°You¡¯re too sharp. How did you find out so quickly?¡± Found out? As expected, those people were sent by his eldest sister. ¡°What¡¯s going on, Third Sister? Why is Big Sister spying on me?¡± Simon asked in a low voice. ¡°It¡¯s not spying, it¡¯s protecting!¡± Mary rubbed her smiling face and continued, ¡°You know how things are at home. We are rich and all of us are girls.¡± ¡°In order to avoid accidents, Big Sister trained a group of bodyguards.¡± ¡°They are called bodyguards, but they are more like the secret agents in the movies. They are always hiding in the dark.¡± ¡°In the past, when I was being followed by the sasaeng fans, Big Sister sent two of them to me. They were quite useful.¡± Simon scratched his face. This overwhelming concern was indeed like the eldest sister¡¯s style. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t Big Sister tell me? I wasn¡¯t prepared at all.¡± Simon smiled bitterly. They even entered the room without permission last night. Mary also shook her head helplessly. ¡°Big Sister would send them out if she felt it was necessary. She wouldn¡¯t tell us.¡± ¡°Only Mom and I know about this at home.¡± ¡°You have to keep it a secret.¡± ¡°Otherwise, Big Sister will think that the bodyguards are not capable enough and train a batch of even better ones!¡± How scary! If he had not signed in to the system, he might not have noticed. When he thought about his privacy being exposed to others at any time, Simon felt a chill run down his spine. ¡°How long will this last?¡± Simon asked. It was impossible that he would not have privacy all the time¡­ Mary shook her head. ¡°Until Big Sis feels that you¡¯re safe!¡± What the f*ck¡­ If the eldest sister felt that Simon was in danger for the rest of her life, wouldn¡¯t those bodyguards have to follow him for the rest of his life! Who could stand it?! Simon pulled a long face and thought about how to get rid of the bodyguards. Mary was already used to Jane¡¯s various operations. She smiled and comforted Simon. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the bodyguards are all girls. When it comes to privacy, they will avoid it.¡± ¡°They are more reliable than you think.¡± Simon did not know how to express himself. It was already unreliable enough to let a girl be his bodyguard! The eldest sister¡¯s love was indeed heavy and suffocating. He felt wrapped up all the time. Simon felt tired and lay in his seat, thinking about how to solve this matter. Seeing his worried face, Mary knew what he was worried about. She took the initiative to say, ¡°If you¡¯re troubled, I can go and talk to her.¡± Since Mary had offered him help, Simon instantly felt that he was not tired anymore. He said happily, ¡°Third Sister, if you can help me, I will be extremely thankful!¡± ¡°That¡¯s what you said! Then, stay at home with me for the next two days.¡± This condition was too simple! Besides, Mary was so beautiful, there was no way she would be rejected. Simon did not think too much about it and simply said, ¡°No problem!¡± After getting the answer she wanted, Mary unknowingly smiled even more happily. After all, the other sisters had spent two more days with Simon than she did. Their relationship would definitely be deeper, and she would definitely use this time to make up for it! The other sisters would be busy with their own work these two days. Only Simon and her would be left alone! Just thinking about it made her feel very happy! At this time, the atmosphere in the car was unusually quiet. Mary was thinking about how she should spend the next few days while Simon silently opened the system. He had completed the previous two missions and obtained two treasure boxes. He had been busy and did not have the time to open them. Now was the perfect time! Anyway, with Jane around, completing the mission was just a matter of sprinkling water. He had to try his luck on the fusion! ¡°System, fuse the treasure boxes!¡± Simon did not hesitate at all! [Yes. Treasure boxes fusion begins. Fusion complete!] [Congratulations, Host, you have obtained an Expert-level Creative Writing Skill!] Was it a skill? Previously, he could also obtain a skill from a treasure box¡­ Although he had wasted a treasure box, Simon felt that this skill was very useful! He could now complete the unfinished articles on the website, so he did not have to wait for the ingrate authors to turn back. Simon was in a good mood. He stretched his arms on the seat. He turned to look at Mary. A big celebrity was driving for him. It was better for them to chat along the journey. Simon put one hand on his face and said casually, ¡°Third Sister, how are you going to tell Big Sister about the bodyguard?¡± Mary raised her eyebrows confidently. ¡°Isn¡¯t that simple?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get Mom to tell her.¡± ¡°Just say that the bodyguard has delayed your search for a wife. This reason is invincible!¡± Err¡­ Not again¡­ Simon held his forehead and didn¡¯t know how should he respond. He finally understood that as long as he was in the Bennet family, he would never be able to avoid the issue of his life partner!
