Chapter 392

“So what if you’re the richest person in Lightdom City? After leaving Lightdom City, you’re nothing. How dare you be so arrogant?“

Horace stared at the backs of Reign

and his eyes gleamed a malicious intent.

He swore that he would teach Reign and Haylan a lesson after the ship was out at sea

“Mr. Horace, why do you look so fed up?”

cone suddenly asked in a gentle voice

An attractive woman in her mid-twenties with a curvy figure appeared in front of Horace

The woman looked smart and sophisticated with her silver-rimmed glasses. She was looking at Horace with a smile.

“Siobhan?”

When Horace saw her, he was delighted. So, he quickly suppressed his anger and replaced his ferocious look with a smile. “I need to perform a play for the audience after getting on the ship I was practicing my facial expressions”

You’ll be performing a play? Then I have to be there to support you” the woman said excitedly.

Her voice was sweet and charming. It tickled Horace’s ears.

“Sure, I’m more than welcome. Let me give you an invitation card, Horace was beaming with joy.

As he spoke, he was taking the invitation out.

Siobhan Lester was a university student Holace had just met a week ago.

She was a walking encyclopedia of business, whether it was stocks, finances, and management, she was well-versed in all aspects and everyone recognized her as a smart and talented woman.

Most importantly, she was an incredible dancer.

Three days ago. Holace happened to watch Siobhan’s performance on stage and was completely blown away by her aptitude for classical dance.

After that day, he had been actively paying court to her.

But Siobhan was too beautiful. There were many rich young men pursuing her. Furthermore, some successful entrepreneurs were also after her, hoping to get close to her.

Although Horace was from the Zabel family, he hardly stood a chance with Siobhan because there were too many

competitors.

He did not even have the chance to invite her to dinner. Now that he had run into her again, he was pleasantly surprised.

Siobhan took out an invitation card from her bag and said. “Thank you for inviting me. Mr. Horace. I actually have an

invitation.”

Horace was disappointed, but he still extended his invitation to her and asked, “Siobhan, you came alone, right? Why don’t we go together?”

“Okay Siobhan replied.

Horace was over the moon and quickly got his men to help Siobhan carry her luggage.

He on the other hand, followed the woman in an ingratiating manner, chatting and laughing with her

The organizers of the Swan Cruise were good mind readers who were intensely aware of the need of wealthy people. They specially opened up five lanes of different classes for them.

Tycoons with a net worth of more than tens of billions of dollars would walk through the lane with the fewest people and pass by the most luxurious buildings before arriving at the highest deck.

Billionaires with a net worth between 2 billion and 20 billion dollars would take the second lane and go to a relatively lower deck

Those with a net worth of 200 million to 2 billion dollars would take the third passageway and go to the third deck.

Those who were worth between 20 million and 200 million dollars would take the fourth lane and go to the second deck

Lastly, those who were worth less than 20 million dollars were all on the first deck.

Haylan was an insignificant security guard, but he owned two high-rise buildings in central Gurz City. Therefore, after

assessment, he was eligible to stay at the second deck.

However, because of Reign, he was able to access the highest deck.

“I didn’t expect you to be so rich. You’re indeed the richest person in Lightdom City”

The two of them arrived at the luxurious room. After putting down their luggage, Haylan looked at Reign beside him and sighed.

At such a young age, the woman already had a net worth of more than tens of billions of dollars. It was definitely the height of success that other people were unable to reach.

“It’s because I’m the CEO of Mapleturz Group. They included my family’s assets in my property,” Reign explained flatly. “No wonder Philip and the other people in your family tried every possible means to steal your position. This money is enough to make many people take risky measures. No, it’s not taking risky measures, but trampling on all the laws in the world,” Haylan said.

“You read “Theories of Capitalization’ before?” Reign was shocked.

“Yeah. I read a little.

Haylan nodded and said, “When the profit margin reaches 10%, people will be tempted;

“At 50%, they will take risky measures;

“At 100%, they will trample on all the laws in the world;

“And at 300%, they will risk their lives and commit deeds that are punishable by a death sentence.

“With the money you have now, it’s enough for Philip and many people in the Labenz family to take the risk to kill you.”

Even if it was 2 billion, 200 million, or only 20 million dollars, many people would make a desperate attempt to earn the money even though it might cost their lives, they would still do that, not to mention 20 billion.

For many people, poverty was more terrifying than death.

“I know.” Reign nodded.

After becoming the Mapleturz Group CEO, countless bad things had happened to her. There were many times when her life was hanging by a thread.

When she was staying with the Labenz family, they almost killed her with poison.

After moving out, she was attacked and nearly died in a fire.

Even though she had been holding a high position and enjoying great wealth over the years, she had also experienced a lot which gave her an illuminating insight into human nature.

Reign smiled and said, “Those who endure the most difficult hardships become the most outstanding people. I’m considered lucky. It’s very hard and tiring, but the fortune I possess is something a lot of people can’t achieve.

“Many mercenaries face great danger every day. Their lives are at stake, yet they carn less than me.

“Many people work very hard all their lives, waking up at six to go to work and returning home at seven or eight in the evening but only earn a little bit of money.

“Compared to them, I’m so lucky and I don’t feel that tired.

Haylan was shocked to hear that. “Ms. Labenz, you know the struggles of ordinary people?”

That was entirely unexpected to him.

He thought that Reign would complain to him about how bad and how hard her life was, and how much she had sacrificed. Surprisingly, she knew what the lives of the underclass of society were like.

She was unlike those experts who suggested that people should rent out their empty houses and drive their cars out to altract customers. Those comments were like Marie-Antoinette’s remark that the poor should eat cake if they had no bread.

Reign nodded and replied, “Though I came from a rich family, my father took me to the countryside to farm before. And I’ve been doing poverty alleviation projects all these years.

“I know well enough the lives of the farmers and the underprivileged.

“The farmers work extremely hard but they don’t earn much. Worse still, if the weather turns bad or sometimes when a storm or a typhoon comes, they will suffer a great loss.

“So, I took out a sum of money and set up a poverty alleviation project to help those farmers who can hardly make ends.

As she spoke, her eyes were filled with compassion and she looked as if she basked in the glow of kindness.

Haylan looked at Reign and respected her even more.

The woman had more foresight than many experts. She was well aware of the conditions of the people living in poverty and she was much better than many wealthy people who were oblivious to their privileges.

“Then you can ask them to rent out their empty houses and drive their cars out to attract customers to increase their income,” Haylan said with a smile.

Reign glared at him. “How can you make a joke like that?”

Haylan spread his hands and said, “I know I shouldn’t. But unfortunately, this is a joke other people made. I know you’re kind, but I’m afraid you can’t help everybody.”

Reign sighed and said, “My father once told me that a person should give back to society when in dignity. I can’t do anything. But I’ll help as many people as I can in Gobouis Province.”

“Beep, beep”

Suddenly, Reign’s phone rang.

She picked up her phone and took a look. Her eyes lit up and she immediately put down her luggage. “Mr. Jaber, come on. Let’s go and meet the CEO of Deity Pharmaceutical Group”
