Chapter 1

Leaving the restaurant my sister owned, I was stopped by the manager.

"Excuse me, sir, you haven't paid your bill."

I looked at the unfamiliar face, assuming he was new and didn't recognize me.

So, I politely explained, "Just put it on my sister's tab. She knows."

The male manager swept a dismissive glance over me.

"Sir, this is a Michelin three-star establishment. We don't have a 'tab' system here."

He finished speaking and handed me a printed bill.

I glanced down.

A single meal, fifty thousand dollars.

Utensil Radiance Maintenance Fee: Three thousand.

Exclusive Ambient Air Purification: Five thousand.

VIP Serenity & Emotional Support Service: Ten thousand.

And a bunch of other ridiculous charges.

I had no idea my sister ran such a shady business.

I laughed in disbelief.

"I'm Mia's brother, the owner. If there's an issue, she can come talk to me at home."

But he wouldn't let it go.

"If you can't afford it, just say so. Don't try to pull rank or pretend you're family with our owner."

I shot a text to my assistant: Tell my sister to either fire this guy or I'm pulling all my investments.
