There was some prime land in the south of the city that was going to be auctioned off and the Mu family wanted it. The auction was about to begin and Peggy felt anxious.
"All right, Mom. I know. I will handle it," Lena reassured her mother with confidence.
Peggy looked proudly upon her confident daughter and nodded with satisfaction
Peggy had been so fortunate in life and luck seemed to be always on her side. Firstly she met Spencer and then gave birth to two beautiful children, Ron and Lena. Both her son and daughter had made her proud and they were outstanding.
...
Ever since Greyson had told his mother that he was going on a date, Roxie would always glance behind him expectantly whenever he came home, with the hope that his new girlfriend would come with him.
It made Greyson feel guilty. He shouldn't have given Roxie the false hope and lied to her just to make her feel happy.
The Yun family had two sons, Greyson and his older brother, Troy. Troy was a man of stable character and had been greatly influenced by their father. He joined the army when he was quite young.
However, Roxie had always liked girls more and wanted a daughter. When she was pregnant with Greyson, she was so sure that the baby was going to be a girl, that she even bought everything for a baby girl.
But when the baby was finally born and Roxie found that it was yet another boy, she felt quite disappointed at that time. And since she had bought everything for a baby girl, she raised and treated Greyson more like a girl when he was just a baby.
Perhaps that was why Greyson was, the way he was. Because Roxie had mothered him too much and was too lenient with him.
Greyson always liked to play with computers ever since his childhood. And over the years he had honed his computer skills so well, that he became a first-class hacker. If he needed to find out some information, all he needed to do was punch in a few keys on the keyboard and invade anyone's computer or network equipment.
Yesterday, when he had dinner with Ashley and Ellie, he sensed that they were hiding something from him. Normally he wouldn't care or take any notice, but, his curiosity was piqued as to what it could be.
So Greyson decided to figure it out by himself.
In the Starlight Club, the loud sound of energetic music that was pumping out from the massive speakers, was deafening.
The dance floor was filled with hyped up men and women, whose bodies seemed to be overtaken by the rhythm and beat of the music that pounded off the walls. Each of them swayed and moved in their own unique way, completely, uninhibited.
Here they had the license to act freely and release what they felt deep in their very soul and express it through dance.
Nobody really knew who the owner of the Starlight Club was. But they did know that whoever it was, they were very powerful. Even the big shots in J City couldn't cause trouble here.
Only the 'who's who' of J City could afford to attend this club and have the Starlight Club as their late night playground, but even they didn't dare stir up any problems at the club.
Earlier, when the club had just newly opened, an owner of a company had attended the club. He was arrogant and didn't want to follow the rules and tried to use his power and influence to cause a disturbance there.
However, the very next day he became bankrupt, as a direct consequence of his actions that he made at the Starlight Club, and he had to repay a lot of debts that he had owed.
Since then, everyone that attended the Starlight Club took it as a valuable lesson and never dared to rock the boat when they were there.
In a room, on the third floor of the Starlight Club, several young men with different colored hair, wearing hoodies and unusually styled clothes, lounged on the couch.
Greyson sat in the middle of them on the same couch. With his neat clothes, natural black hair and cute baby face, he looked completely different in appearance and style from the rest of them. However, he seemed to be in sync with the group.
The room that they were in had been soundproofed. It blocked out the thunderous noise from the first and second floors.
Each of the young men that were sitting on the couch with Greyson had a woman in their laps and were necking with them without any moral sense.
Greyson looked at them and frowned disdainfully, and then suddenly he yelled, "All of you. Just get out!"
