"The world’s not fair, but fairness doesn’t pay the bills. You don’t wait for a handout — you build your own damn ladder, one step at a time."
Ethan Grey’s life was built on ambition, hard work, and hope — until a single accusation destroyed it all. 
Framed by his ruthless boss, Ethan loses his job, his reputation, and is left drowning in half a million dollars of debt. 
Cast aside by a society that thrives on crushing the weak, he’s at rock bottom with no way out.  
But in his darkest moment, something extraordinary happens. A mysterious system awakens, offering Ethan a second chance — but with rules. 
[Congratulations, You have awakened the Harem Investment System]
It can’t make him rich overnight, and it won’t give him shortcuts. Instead, it points him toward physical investments: crumbling properties, broken-down machines, and forgotten treasures. 
Each one is a gamble, but with every success, the system rewards him with newfound skills and opportunities.

A smirk tugged at his lips. "You're adorable, you know that?"

Silence again. Then, a small embarrassed sound that made him grin.

Ethan stretched his legs out, resting his free hand behind his head. "So, what's the real reason you called?"

Lila hesitated for a second before speaking, her voice quieter this time. "I just… thought we could talk. You kind of disappeared after our texts. And then, when I saw you today, you barely said anything."

Ethan exhaled slowly. She wasn't wrong.

He hadn't exactly been avoiding her, but he also hadn't actively reached out.

Business had been on his mind, and personal relationships… well, they hadn't been his top priority.

Still, hearing the slight disappointment in her voice made something stir in his chest.

"I've been busy," he admitted. "A lot going on."

She hummed. "Yeah… Zack mentioned something about you investing in the resort?"
