Chapter 64 A Golden opportunity
“Leones, how did you feel during those five years in prison?
“Can you
tell us about your life in prison? It would broaden our horizons.”
Heston seemed to be chatting with Leones with enthusiasm, but Heston kept bringing up the
topic of prison, repeatedly mentioning it, with the intention of making Leones embarrass himself in front of everyone.
After all, spending time in prison is a shameful mark in anyone’s life, and no one wants it to be repeatedly brought up.
The more Susan tried to stop him from talking, the more Heston insisted on discussing it. However, Leones was completely indifferent to it and even responded with ease and humor. Perhaps, to others, prison is a dirty place, but for Leones, it was a place that transformed him. How could he be ashamed of it? Instead, he took pride in it.
Seeing that repeatedly mentioning prison didn’t make Leones feel ashamed but rather made him talk humorously about the various interesting things in prison, classmates became expectant and kept asking, full of interest.
Gradually, the other classmates were won over by Leones’s wit and humor, and they no longer cared so much about whether Leones had been in prison or not.
Seeing Leones happily chatting with his classmates and becoming the center of attention, Heston felt even more annoyed.
Heston thought, “Damn it, I wanted to belittle this guy, but instead he’s gaining fame because of
it?
“How thick–skinned can he be!?
“Alright! Since talking about prison doesn’t faze you, let’s switch to some real–life matters to undermine you!”
With his mindset adjusted, Heston continued to ask, “Leones, how long have you been out of prison?
“Do you have a place to stay now? Where are you working?”
Heston believed that as a former prisoner with a criminal record, Leones couldn’t possibly find a decent job.
As expected, Leones admitted, “I don’t have a job.”
This was exactly what Heston was hoping for, and he immediately adopted a concerned tone, saying, “How can you go on without a job?
“After spending five years in prison, you have become disconnected from society. You need to find
job and integrate into society.
“But with your criminal record, it must be difficult to find employment, right?
“Or how about this? I know the owner of this building. I can help you out. You can start by working here as a security guard. How about it?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the classmates nodded secretly, thinking that Heston was making sense.
After spending five years in prison, it was necessary to quickly reintegrate into society. Otherwise,

a person would be completely useless.
“The Heston is so kind, always willing to help a classmate in need of a
f a job.”
Heston’s sarcastic remarks towards Leones actually won praise from most of his classmates. He had achieved two things with one move.
Next, Heston waited for Leones’s response.
If Leones agreed, it would be like depending on others for support, magnifying the disparity in their identities.
But if Leones refused, he would appear ungrateful and be criticized.
“Work as a security guard here?”
When Leones heard this proposal, he couldn’t help but laugh.
Leones said, “This Grandeur Tower belongs to the Sullivan family, right?
“Go and ask the head of the Sullivan family if he dares to let me work here as a security guard!” The current head of the Sullivan family was eagerly waiting for Leones in another private room. And if his employees wanted to hire Leones as a security guard for their building, how would he feel?
Even if you gave the Sullivan family ten times the courage, they wouldn’t dare entertain such a delusion!
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Heston didn’t understand. “You’re just someone who’s been in prison, don’t worry! The security guards here aren’t necessarily formal either.”
The surrounding classmates chimed in, “Yeah, Leones, you don’t need to worry. Heston now works for the Sullivan family’s enterprise. He can arrange a security job for you without a problem!”
“Leones, you should quickly thank Heston for his promotion!”
“In the future, you should stick with Heston. The good days are still ahead!”
When it came to work and the Sullivan family, the classmates began to flatter Heston, as he was now the most successful one in their class.
Perhaps in the future, they would need to ask for favors from Heston, so it was important to build a good relationship now.
Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open, and a young man dressed in luxury clothing walked in, holding a glass of wine.
“Oh. Mr. Rhett Sullivan!?” Heston stood up quickly and greeted him.
“Heston, I heard you were having a class reunion here. I’m here to take a look!” Rhett Sullivan said with a smiling voice, his mischievous eyes roaming among the female classmates.
“Mr. Rhett Sullivan, I have troubled you!” Heston thanked and introduced Rhett to the elassmates.
“This is Mr. Rhett Sullivan, the third young master of the Sullivan family and the CEO of this building. This Grandeur Tower was a birthday gift from the Sullivan family’s patriarch to Mr. Rhett Sullivan when he turned eighteen.”
Upon hearing this, the classmates couldn’t help but show envy on their faces.
To be able to receive such a gift, a building, as a birthday present, it was evident that Rhett holds a

highly esteemed position within his family and enjoys great favor.
“From the Sullivan family?” Leones glanced at Rhett but didn’t know him.
Leones hadn’t seen anyone this young during the meeting with the Five Major Families.
“Heston, come over here a moment.” After Rhett looked around, he pulled Heston aside and whispered a few words.
At first, Heston was flattered, but as he listened, he felt?embarrassed.
“Mr. Rhett Sullivan, this might not be appropriate…”
“What’s not appropriate?” Rhett stared. “This kind of opportunity is once in a lifetime! Most people wouldn’t even have the qualifications to think about it!
“Let me tell you, not only our family but also the other four major families and a heavyweight will be present.
“You have a few of those beautiful female classmates serve them well. As long as you cater to those big shots, the entire class will have a bright future!”
Heston thought for a moment and realized that it was indeed a rare opportunity.
So he turned around immediately and discussed with those female classmates.
“I’m willing!” Sophie immediately agreed when she heard that she would have the chance to meet members of several important families.
“I won’t go.” Susan immediately shook her head in refusal.
At this moment, Rhett pointed at Susan and said, “No! You’re the most beautiful one. You must
go!”
