Tavares, Jerrold, and Monty were beyond shocked as they read the article about Christian on the internet. Initially, they thought Christian was just an ordinary wealthy person. However, after reading through the news one by one, they realized that their idea of extorting Christian was not only super bad but also foolish and potentially deadly.How so? The article detailed Christian’s profile as a prominent company owner, and even more shocking, Christian had been involved in major scandals, resulting in not just one or two deaths but gruesome murders. They realized that Christian was too dangerous to mess with.“So, what now? Should we just cancel our previous plan to extort this guy?” Jerrold suddenly spoke up, having become increasingly hesitant to proceed after reading the article.Initially, he thought that by extorting Christian with a compromising video, he would gain more profit. However, after learning who this person named Christian really was, his courage instantly waned.Je

“Why do I have to come home now?” Christian asked, puzzled. The phone call was still ongoing.“I’ll explain later, but what’s clear is you need to come home now. I’ll wait,” Elvira said.The woman needed to tell Christian what had really happened. She felt guilty and indebted to Christian. But not over the phone; Elvira would explain in person.“Alright, I’ll come home, then I’ll hang up,” Christian said.After the call ended, Christian approached Claudia, who was still waiting for him by the edge of the lake. “I’m going back to base now.”Claudia asked who had called Christian and what the matter was, but it turned out to be news that irritated her.“Claudia, I’m sorry I can’t explain, I have to go home now,” Christian apologized to Claudia.The man looked at Claudia, who appeared disappointed. Her face immediately looked gloomy.Claudia finally asked, “Why? Why do you have to go home now? Wait here until tonight. The full moon here is very beautiful.” Claudia regretted that Christia

Christian was growing increasingly dizzy because Darrell kept questioning him. Christian felt no need to explain his reasons because he knew it was a disgrace. No one should know about the video, not even his subordinates. He didn’t want the problem to escalate.“I’m fine, there’s nothing I need to explain,” Christian said, trying to convince Darrell that there was nothing wrong.He did this solely to make Darrell stop asking.“Really, Sir? Do you need any help?” Darrell offered to help Christian.Christian waved his hand dismissively; he didn’t need anything. However, Darrell wasn’t stupid. He knew Christian was dealing with something quite serious.He began pressing Christian to explain what was bothering him, but again, Christian shook his head and said he just had a headache from exhaustion.“Alright then, if there’s anything, you can tell me.”“It’s just a personal matter, you don’t need to worry about it, Darrell,” Christian said, trying to keep the issue from escalating.Darrel

Yve fell silent. The flower in her hand released a soothing fragrance that made her feel calm. Its petals were still fresh, as if they had just been plucked from a meticulously tended garden, untouched by sharp objects.“The flower is so beautiful,” Yve murmured softly.She then glanced at the receptionist’s back who had given her the flower. Still holding the flower with joy at receiving such small attention, something she rarely experienced. Yve wondered if Christian had sent her the flower.“Where could this flower be from?” Yve asked herself, curious.Even if it wasn’t from Christian, she hadn’t ordered any flowers or done anything to receive them from anyone else. She didn’t feel like it was a special day, like a birthday or winning a bid. “Or perhaps Christian sent it? Has Christian become so romantic? But that seems unlikely.”Tired of guessing, Yve finally approached the receptionist who had delivered the flower and asked about the name of the person who sent it.The reception

It’s no secret that women are creatures who love to be praised. Just a little compliment can melt their hearts easily. But that’s just how they are. They enjoy beautiful things—listening to pleasant words, compliments, and gentle phrases.Sévon’s remark to Yve was a prime example. After Sévon said that, Yve suddenly felt shy.“Seems like you enjoy teasing married women, huh?” Yve asked Sévon, who responded with laughter.Yve sighed because Sévon laughed instead of taking her seriously.“I only tease the ones I like, and you happen to be one of them, Yve.”In this world, there are many men who can say such trivial things, but for some reason, Yve blushed hearing it.Sévon clearly wasn’t the type to bore his partner. He was sweet and romantic. Sévon knew what made women happy and what they needed besides responsibility.Yes, Sévon fit the ideal man criteria perfectly. Handsome, ambitious, and with a string of successes. Maybe he was often childish, liked to play around by sending Yve hu
