*****Williams hurried toward Dara with a worried expression on his face when he spotted her with a pained expression. However, Dara merely pushed his chest with pouted lips, appearing both charming and alluring when she saw Williams like this, anxious. "Wasn't it your fault?""Huh?" Williams was momentarily bewildered, and then a look of comprehension flickered in his eyes.Afterward, all signs of fear in his gaze vanished, and even though he remained genuinely concerned for Dara, he felt proud of himself."Come here," Williams forced himself to return to his senses and was about to lean over to pick Dara up but got puzzled in the next second.'Why did she suddenly appear as if she has lost her mind?' Williams pondered before lowering his head to glance at where Dara was gazing blankly. Nevertheless, in the next moment, a broader grin spread across his face."Do you appreciate what you see?" He teasingly inquired."Yes," Dara responded absently as she gazed fixedly at the sculpted ch

*****"Young friend Williams, I thought you had forgotten this old man after he had departed two nights ago…”This was the first statement uttered by the elderly man who had stood up for Williams two days ago as he entered the place Williams was brought after his arrival."I apologize for keeping you waiting, Mr. Pu," Williams placed down his teacup and rose to greet the elderly man, who promptly gestured for him to remain seated.Glancing beyond the elderly man, Williams spotted a graceful and elegant lady who appeared to be no older than twenty-three, studying him intently, as if she had heard much about him."This is my beloved granddaughter, Sophia. Like her grandfather, she has had a lifelong passion for discovering gems," the elderly man explained as he took his seat."Oh..." Williams nodded his head in the beautiful maiden’s direction and then became perplexed by the competitive and hostile gaze she directed at him.He contemplated the reason for a moment before he eventually s

*****At the same time, Williams who had left the mansion was finally back at Grace’s company after some hours of driving on the roadHowever, before alighting the car, Williams pulled out his phone and typed in a name, but to his greatest confusion and disbelief, amongst all the images of the people who owned the name, the particular person he was searching for didn’t appear. "I refuse to believe that someone so important to the country would have no public information available," Williams muttered to himself as he continued his search. But in the end, he found absolutely nothing about the old man, which left Williams deeply puzzled.The name Williams was searching for belonged to Old Man Pu, the same person whose mansion he had just left. While he hadn't shown his amazement when he was at the elderly man's mansion, he was genuinely astounded by how much this old man knew which made him deeply perplexed about his identity. The information he knew wasn't something that just anybody

*****At this moment, inside a VIP dining lounge within the restaurant, two assemblies of people were seated facing each other.On one side consisted of a middle-aged man, a middle-aged woman, and a young man with a self-assured expression on his face, while on the opposite side sat a middle-aged woman, an ordinary-looking lady, and two middle-aged men.One of these two men on the side of the table seemed prosperous and exuded an aura of arrogance, while the other middle-aged man appeared uneasy and anxious, portraying the aura of a low self-esteemed person, especially when he felt all the disdainful gazes directed at him in the booth.Before the two middle-aged men on this side of the long dining table entered, everyone was still all smiles and cheerfully discussing, but as soon as they arrived and the man with a modest appearance was spotted, the place fell into silence.The silence endured for several moments before finally, the middle-aged woman on the other side of the table spok

*****On that very night, following their departure from the restaurant where Lucas had invited him, Williams drove intending to pick up Dara from the hotel. However, the extraordinarily glamorous and meticulously made-up Dara he encountered enticed him to the extent that he was compelled to visit her secret sanctuary with his divine rod until they both released their heavenly essence.Little did the confused Williams know that Dara had only done what she did to get back at her family who had executed their plan.That's right, even though Williams remained oblivious to the situation, earlier that day, Sarah had gone to his restaurant and requested to switch places with Dara. The entire staff of the restaurant had been deeply and completely taken aback then, and Laura had to be called in to mediate the situation.The most amusing part was that Sarah had actually dared to act as if she were the boss in front of Laura, even claiming to be the owner's wife, while threatening that she wou
