Larina still felt sorry for Orion if she told Marigold the truth. She was afraid her nephew would be scolded by their grandmother. But she also felt annoyed with Orion for obstructing her mission.Therefore, Larina became confused and silent for a moment.“Larina! Are you still there? Why aren’t you answering my question?” Marigold asked.“Uh, yes Mom... I’m still here. Um... I was just getting something,” Larina replied, making up an excuse.“Ugh! You’re making Mama worried!” scolded Marigold.“Sorry Mom,” Larina apologized. Then she answered her mother’s question. “Earlier, Orion came over because he wanted to discuss Sévon’s issues with Yve.”The information provided by Larina truly shocked Marigold. Her grandson had always been her number one supporter, but now things were different. He dared to defy her orders and interfere in thwarting...Everything Orion did was because of a man who had once been a subject of ridicule, Christian Demetri. Something unimaginable before.But befor

After Christian stood up and took a step, Elvira followed suit by leaving the room. She wanted to speak with Christian privately, away from anyone else’s ears. The issue she needed to discuss was highly confidential.Christian simply followed Elvira’s footsteps without much protest or arrangement.When they reached the living room, one of Dorian’s men was sitting there. He was naturally introverted and preferred spending time alone. However, Dorian insisted on his presence due to the man’s high-level martial arts skills.With only one person present, Christian politely asked the man to leave the room.“Sorry, could you please step out for a moment? I need to have a private conversation with Elvira. You can join us at the back or front of the house,” Christian said, maintaining a courteous tone.The man nodded and replied, “Of course, Mr. Demetri. I’ll leave now.”Indeed, the man was truly introverted. He avoided crowds and sought out empty spaces, hence he headed towards the front of

After the video finished sending, Elvira immediately opened it and started watching. As she watched, Elvira was shocked because the video showed everything from the moment she entered until the end. Elvira covered her mouth in disbelief and glared sharply at Monty.“This is truly a planned crime. Christian definitely won’t forgive those who took that video if they spread it to the public,” Elvira said angrily, her face reddening with emotion. She was truly enraged and couldn’t comprehend why Monty had planned this.“So that night, everything that happened was your doing? Do you realize what you’ve done? You’ve given Christian’s enemies an opportunity to exploit his weakness!” Elvira continued, her voice trembling with anger. She was deeply frustrated with Monty for orchestrating this.“Now Christian has a vulnerability that enemies can use to destroy him at any time. This is not just about tarnishing his reputation,” Elvira added firmly.“I’m sorry, Elvira. At that time, all I could t

“Sorry, Elvira. I just said it because I thought it wouldn’t matter.” Monty apologized, feeling guilty. The man had been brazen enough to invite Elvira to bed when the video issue wasn’t even resolved yet. But he couldn’t help it; the memory of Elvira’s body that night had him addicted, and he wanted to relive it.“Yes, I know it doesn’t matter. But is it right for us to have fun in bed while this problem isn’t solved?” She asked. She needed to make Monty realize that she should be busy with other things. More importantly, Monty needed to apologize to Christian first.“Of course, it’s not right. Okay, then. I’ll apologize to Christian when the time comes.” Monty was disappointed that Elvira refused, but her reason made sense. Monty felt ashamed of himself for suggesting they get intimate at an inappropriate time.“Exactly, so it’s better to focus on your apology.” Monty had already regretted it, so maybe Christian would be more forgiving.Elvira wanted to leave Monty’s presence immed

Christian, seeing Elvira coming out of Claudia’s room, immediately approached her. “Elvira? What were you doing in Claudia’s room?” he asked, puzzled. In his mind, there were sinister speculations because Elvira entered Claudia’s room without permission. Christian was unaware that Claudia was also inside the room.Before Elvira could respond, the door to Claudia’s room opened and she emerged. She was surprised to see Elvira still in front of her room, with Christian also present. Her mind immediately jumped to unwarranted conclusions.“Elvira, Christian, what’s going on?” she asked.Seeing Claudia come out of her room, Christian felt relieved. It turned out his suspicions were unfounded. “No, I thought Elvira entered your room without permission,” he said, offering a slight smile.She nodded. “Oh, Elvira came into my room because I asked her to,” Instead of Elvira explaining first, Claudia took it upon herself to clarify things to Christian.Christian frowned. “Why did you ask Elvira
