Wearing a Luxurious silver-white suit, expensive brown leather shoes, and black sunglasses.

A very sophisticated man and strikingly cold domineering figure driving Shelby Ford mustang GT 65's arrived at the build of Stratton Industries located along with top-class buildings at Stanford Business Center.

All of the employees and executive are in front of the building formed a straight line waiting for the heir of the company,

Joseph Randal went out of his amazing car and all of the women's eyes were glaring and admiring the look of a very handsome man standing in front of them.

Everyone has bent down 90-degree positions and then suddenly a greeting in unison can be heard loudly at the business center.

My name is Robert Collins, A year ago I was a simple man living with my wife and son,

When tragic events happened, My father-in-law, Manager of the bank, and Owner of Foster Commercial Center connived to chase me out of the City.

On the verge of death, I found a strength to fight and escape from death, and fortunately, I was saved by a Billionaire man who happened to have the same destiny as me.

He adopted me and transfer all his wealth but I need to inherit his Son name Joseph Randal to smoothly avenge my family and live with them happily.

(A year ago)

A hard stamp of a foot of a lady can be heard walking directly in a small dry good store, then suddenly yelled

"Robert get out"

the lady shouted multiple times, she's the owner of the commercial place that is being rented by Robert Collins for this past 3 years,

Then Robert came out and politely greeted the woman in front of him.

"Hello Dr. Aireen, what brings you here so early?"

When Dr. Aireen heard Robert asking questions, she sneered disdainfully while speaking.

"you idiot bastard I'm here for the rent you have to pay me in advance since last month rent was overdue for two days."

Robert Collins always paid in advance when business was doing well 3 years ago and Dra. Aireen got used to it.

however after two years of prosperity of Robert Collins's business suddenly there was a huge economic crisis happened.

His business was one of the industries that most heavily affected by the crisis since then Robert Collins barely earned money to cover up for the rent and Dr. Aireen always barging ahead of time.

"I still have a week of time before due date" Robert Collins politely said to Dr. Aireen.

"Huh you have the guts to answer, I tell you what you idiot pay me in time or else you will lose your business here in my street"

Dr. Aireen scornfully replies then immediately walks away with a glitch of angry looked to Robert Collins.

That ice-cold woman left him with a problem to this within a week.

Foster Commercial place is a famous recreational and entertainment spot for both locals and tourists,

The place was designed like an open mall,

There is a circular park in the middle, inside the park where fountains displays, every night the fountains dance spectacularly and everybody's can dance with it.

Robert Collins store located at the low-class part Foster Commercials place.

But the lowest monthly rent in this kind of location starts from 15,000 dollars with a contract the rent will have an additional 5000 every year. So from 3 years of doing business, he needs to pay 30000 monthly.

Dr. Aireen who owned the Foster Commercial place is a cunning and money-grabber person she made that contract for people like Robert Collins who doesn't have the capability to retaliate.

People like him work like an ant that needs to feed their queen.

"Papa I want to buy ice cream"

Even though Robert and her wife Ginalyn barely earn money they didn't let little mat mat to suffer lock of food or snacks whenever little mat mat wanted too.

They always pampered him with toys and food, because seeing their child happy is the most wonderful feeling they could ever felt and cherish,

"Yes little boy I'll buy you one but after we ate breakfast, okay?" Said Robert Collins.

Meanwhile, Ginalyn Collins already done cooking food for breakfast she called Robert and Mat mat to eat breakfast.

While eating Ginalyn Collins would like to ask his husband how can they pay the rent since she heard Dr. Aireen yelled at him to pay it in a week

They are also struggling with other loans and expenses in order to continue doing business.

"Darling I have a little bit of savings that we can use to at least pay the half of our rent," said Ginalyn Collins wearying about the rent.

"Darling its for your study, I can't afford to trouble your savings for our business financial problem." While smiling.

"Don't think too much I'll find ways to cover up for this month rent"

Said Robert Collins with a prideful attitude since he's the man of the family.
