"Are you... are you alright?!"Looking at the strapping youths writhing on the ground, Andrew's expression twitched slightly. His gaze swiftly shifted towards the slender woman with long, thin legs who exuded fierce energy, standing solemnly before him.Even as someone who had weathered countless storms, he found it hard to meet Lissandra's battle-hardened gaze. Her strikes had been precise and aimed low, at the groin.Andrew found himself at a loss for words to describe this sensation. But, the effectiveness was undeniable. Otherwise, how could those youths following that Osborne lad be in such a dreadful state?"I... I'm fine!"When Lissandra found herself under Andrew's gaze, she couldn't help feeling awkward. During the dire situation earlier, she had acted on instinct, kicking as she was accustomed to. But now, under the scrutiny, she couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed."What a useless bunch!"Seeing his minions trounced by a woman and in such a pathetic state, Young Mas

"Lissandra, what do you think of this place? We'll be moving to the new workplace in a few days, so I want to move to a new place for convenience. Plus, it's very close to the city center. It's perfect for my daughter to start first grade next year!"After a lengthy discussion with the New Hanbok Real Estate Company manager and decided to move the office there next week, Londyn took Lissandra house hunting.Looking at the tidy arrangement of the apartment and considering its reasonable price, Londyn was delighted.However, upon hearing Londyn's words, Lissandra's face changed."Londyn, have you gone mad? This place is dirty and ugly, plus they're renting it out at such a high price. If you want to move closer to the office, move in with me. My house is empty right now, and I have a lot of spare rooms. If you and London move in, I will rent it to you for a low price, and you only need to pay the utilities and a little environmental cleaning fee each month!"Upon hearing Lissandra's sug

"Indeed, I almost forgot."With a sudden movement, Farrer rose from his chair and reached into his pocket, revealing a small box, which he then unveiled to the curious eyes around him."Londyn, happy birthday. This is a gift I've prepared for you."The box revealed a silver necklace with a heart-shaped pendant. Basil couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; at first glance, the piece clearly held significant value.Londyn seemed taken aback. "Thank you, but this is too extravagant. I cannot accept it." she gently protested, clearly uneasy about receiving such a lavish gift from Farrer.But Farrer, pushing the box closer to her, spoke with passion. "It's been years since we last met, Londyn. This necklace symbolizes the longing I've felt for you all this time. You must accept it.""But I...""No buts." Farrer interjected: "Do you think I'd be like some others, showing up to Londyn's birthday unprepared, without even a simple gift? What kind of man would do that?"Without pausing, he sent a

“A driver? That’s quite unimpressive." Harvey adjusted his glasses, revealing a smirk.He initially intended to maintain his gentlemanly facade, but Ethan had tested his patience, especially when he realized Ethan’s partner, Londyn, was far more beautiful than his own Ceridwen.A natural male jealousy sprouted, and Harvey could no longer mask his true colors.Ethan, however, responded with a soft chuckle: "What do you consider a promising future?”The room fell silent, and whispers filled the air.Ceridwen looked peeved. She wasn't expecting a comeback. With a haughty glare, she retorted: "Wondering what constitutes a promising future?”She then unveiled a glass case, and as everyone saw its contents, gasps echoed.“This... isn’t this the Hotan Jade ‘Peach Celebrating Longevity’ set that the international jeweler, Weaver Weatherall, has been advertising?”“My God! I recall it being priced at more than 3 million!”“More so, I thought it wasn’t even released to the public yet. How did y

In the heart of the grand Edward estate, Calliope took each step with deliberation, approaching Ethan with grace and intensity. With a pronounced clink, she flung a necklace onto the table before him, the glint of the silver chain catching the dim candlelight.Every word dripped with icy resolve: "If the appraiser arrives and exposes your deceit before everyone, you will lose all face!""Do not presume that my position prevents me from giving you one last chance." she said, her eyes cold."On one knee, pour tea for the three of us, apologize sincerely, and perhaps I, Calliope, may overlook this slight.""And if not?"She was cut off by Ethan, who swiftly rose from his chair, standing tall at 1.88 meters, towering a head above Calliope, instantly diminishing her commanding presence."What will you do then?" he asked, his voice dripping with disdain.His sudden assertiveness left Calliope momentarily stunned, her words caught in her throat."Enough!" Interrupted Londyn, unable to sit qu
