"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.

She tilted her head, arms folding across her chest. "So you want me to come over because your sisters are fans?"

Ethan scratched the back of his neck. "Something like that."

Vanessa smirked, sensing his discomfort. "You know, most guys would ask me over for entirely different reasons."

She chuckled. "Yeah, I'm starting to get that."

He reached into his pocket, pulled out his wallet, and held up a crisp bill.

"I can pay you by the hour if that makes it more reasonable," he said, entirely serious.

Vanessa's eyes widened before she let out a sharp laugh. "You really just said that, huh?"

Ethan, seeing her reaction, sighed and put the money away. "Figured you wouldn't take it, but it was worth a shot."

Vanessa shook her head, still amused. "You're ridiculous."
