Conquering Ladies With My 10x Rebate System-Chapter 35: Let’s fight together

Caleb’s eyes lit up for a moment.

An auction — that was a perfect start-out for the Mega Hall!

It would offer them a lot of wealthy audience, and that was a good opportunity to show off the splendid architecture of the hall.

Julia must’ve thought deeply into the entire matter.

But she definitely isn’t doing this for just my gain... An auction would also help boost her income drastically. Can she foresee the outcome of the event?

That could possibly be one of the powers offered to her by the card.

Speaking of which, Caleb couldn’t help but think back to the system’s task.

Sleeping with my sister? He looked towards Julia, feeling goosebumps all over his body.

I mean, she’s not directly my sister... But even then! That alone was enough to make him crash out.

Even to him, it didn’t feel morally correct to sleep with his own sister!

Although he wasn’t the main Caleb, he still possessed his body.

Caleb looked at Julia from the sides of his eyes.

She’s pretty, but fuck! I can’t convince myself to do this, he thought, pinching his nose bridge.

He let out a deep breath, just enough to calm himself.

"That’s a great idea... The auction will be a good standing for the Mega Hall as well. It’ll be great to have you host it in our hall," Caleb said with a polite smile.

Julia looked at him, her gaze softening.

"Caleb... Tell me, have you forgiven Dad for what he did to Mom?" Julia asked suddenly, the air tensing up slightly.

Caleb glanced towards her. From that brief moment, he caught a glimpse of the pain behind those brown orbs.

What his father did to his mom? Caleb thought. That memory was like a thorn stuck deep in his flesh.

He didn’t need any effort to remember.

Even when he had taken control of Caleb’s body, it was the first thing he remembered... Almost as though the previous Caleb always thought about it constantly.

His mother was the wife of a ruthless man.

A man who never had time for his family... and could think of nothing more than his work.

Growing his empire. Becoming wealthier.

Caleb’s mom was sick, suffering from stage four breast cancer.

She was living on machines and constant chemotherapy sessions, just enough to keep the cancer from spreading further.

With their advanced technology, the possibility of saving her was still there.

But the cost was dangerously high.

Over a million dollars.

Jin Monrrow, his father, had his business going down the rabbit hole.

He didn’t help his dying wife.

He came back home after getting the news from the doctor.

All the kids sat in wait in the sitting room, waiting for their dad to bring back good news about their mom.

Jin didn’t walk into the room like anything had happened, and when asked what happened to their mom—his words were engraved in Caleb’s mind.

"Forget about her. I can’t waste money on a dead asset."

Caleb felt his chest clench remembering that line.

Their marriage was an arranged one. One that helped both companies to grow—but to call her an asset?

Caleb couldn’t bring himself to forgive his father after that day.

Even as the story resurfaced in his mind, Caleb felt the same anger, the same pain that the original felt losing his mom at the age of five.

He knew how much he loved his mother in his previous life, and the Caleb here didn’t even have the opportunity to enjoy that to the fullest.

"I haven’t forgiven him... I don’t think I can," Caleb said, his fist clenched tightly.

Julia looked away, staring at the calm waves of the ocean.

Her expression turned dark.

"I don’t know how the others did it, but I haven’t... And I’ll do everything I can to climb above him. I’ll watch him fall the same way he watched Mom die."

Julia’s voice was dark, filled with a surge of twisted emotions.

Anger. Frustration. Betrayal. It was not lacking in any.

She could envision the man standing in front of her—the man that stripped her of a good childhood.

And then tossed her and her siblings into a rivalry for influence and power.

If eyes were bullets, then hers would drill a hole through reality itself.

Caleb looked at her, the realization hitting him.

She has the same goal as Caleb... That was why she took a card. He sighed inwardly.

Now it made more sense to him why she would take a card from X.

"Sis. I understand, you have my full support. I’ll do anything I can to help," Caleb said, with a look of understanding in his eyes.

Julia smiled, turning her gaze to Caleb.

From that view—the sun kissing her fair, smooth skin, and her smile that carried a lot of secrets—

Caleb couldn’t help but admire his sister’s delicate beauty.

"Lil bro, don’t bother yourself... I don’t want you to involve yourself in all of this. If possible, I want you to stay away from all of this as much as you can," Julia said calmly. But Caleb could feel the weight in her words.

It sounded more like a warning—but not a dangerous one. Rather, one filled with genuine love and emotions.

"I’ve already tied myself into a lot of ridiculous things. I don’t want you to do that as well," Julia added, standing from the chair.

Caleb looked at her back, and he couldn’t hide the admiration he had grown for his sister with just the few minutes they had spent conversing.

She was a strong, resilient, and ambitious lady... One that wasn’t scared of whatever came her way.

But Caleb wasn’t going to let her fight her demons all alone.

He chuckled lightly, lightening the already tense air.

"I wish I could promise you that... But I can’t stand by and let you suffer alone. If we are going to get back at Dad, then let’s do it together. Side by side, let’s fight together."

Caleb’s eyes shone with an unwavering resolve as he looked at his sister.

Unbeknownst to Caleb, at that moment, he had laid a strong foundation.

Let alone his siblings—even his father couldn’t see what was coming.
