Karen returned with Aston who in turn was accompanied by several muscular men.Seeing them come in caused Anna to frown while Rebecca immediately got scared.Ethan didn't even react as he remained on his chair, bathing in the golden rays of the sun. It almost looked like he was sleeping.Seeing Anna and Rebecca react negatively caused Karen to remark. “You bastards, I told you I'd be back. Now let's see if you'd dare to hit me again in front of my man.”Aston inquired from Karen. “Was she the one that hit you?” Karen immediately nodded. “Yes, she was and all I did was ask her to politely let us borrow the pool for some time.”Anna gawked at her blatant lie. “Are you crazy?... Why would I hit you if you were polite? You were the one that attacked me and I merely defended myself.”“Hmmph, you should just stop lying now. Now that I'm back you can forget about getting away scot-free. You should have run before I got back.”“And why should I run?” “Still acting so tough. Fine then, mayb

Leilani let out a resigned sigh. “Yeah, you are right. If only she hadn't decided to go down that path.”Mark bit down on his lower lip but ultimately gave no response.“I guess we should get going then.”“Yeah, let's go.” Mark nodded.With that, Leilani nodded before rising to her feet and making her way outside.Meanwhile, Mark watched her back, his gaze flashing with malicious intent.***Outside, the hall was filled with numerous bachelors who had taken residence in the hotel.There were even those who had been called over by their friends, all of whom were gathered to watch the beautiful Leilani.Also known as the Untouched Rose, Leilani was the stuff of their wet dreams, with incredible beauty and an outstanding appearance.She was like a fairy unsullied by nature and for that reason, she was all the more alluring.Several wished to make her their mistress while others were more than okay with bedding her just once so they could have a taste of her.They didn't even bother to hi

Ethan laughed out loud, causing Falcon's expression to grow even more sour as he had the desire to cut him into tiny pieces.Unfortunately, he couldn't do so, at least not in the hotel but Falcon swore in his heart that he would teach Ethan a lesson should he dare to step outside after the auction.If he didn't teach the bastard a lesson, then his name wasn't Don Falcon!“Why the fuck are you laughing!?” Falcon questioned after he was unable to hold back any longer. Ethan smirked. “Just amused at how myopic your thinking is. I mean, just because you can't fathom more money than 121 million doesn't mean every other person can't. See what I mean about being a frog in a well?”“Shut the fuck up!” Falcon scolded with Ethan chuckling.“You were the one that asked me why I was laughing.”Falcon gritted his teeth as he realized that a word match with Ethan would end in his defeat, so he had no choice but to back down but that didn't mean he was going to let Leilani escape his grasp so easil

After Anna had retired to sleep, Ethan got a call from Poltergeist.“How did it go?” She inquired in an excited tone.Ethan shrugged. “So so.” “That's good to know. How much did you dispense?” “Doesn't matter.”“Really?... I planned on paying you back.” Poltergeist remarked in a teasing tone.Ethan replied. “If you want to pay me back, how about you tell me the relationship between you and Leilani?... I thought about it a lot and realized that you guys look alike a great deal.”“Hmmph, now I'm regretting showing you my true appearance.”“Is she your sibling?”“My twin sister,” Poltergeist replied. “We were kept in the same orphanage.” “So why exactly is one sister stinkingly rich while the other has to resort to such things to make money?”Poltergeist let out a sigh as she replied. “It's complicated.”“I'm listening,” Ethan remarked.Letting out yet another sigh, Poltergeist intoned. “Leilani and I were both abandoned in the orphanage at a young age by our mother. It wouldn't be mu

“Damn it, how useless can these police bastards be?... I forked over more than 30% of my worth and yet they still haven't caught that bastard. What the fuck am I supposed to say?” Don Falcon cursed loudly as he glared at the messenger who had delivered him reports of how the attack had turned out.He'd expected to see Ethan before him, pleading for his life like the worm he is, but instead, he somehow managed to break out of a surprise encirclement by the police and escaped with no injuries.Didn't this mean that the police were incompetent?... How else were they unable to deal with one man?“Don, please be patient, there's no way that man can leave Rhodes Island. It's only a matter of time before he's caught and brought to you.”“Do you think the current state of things came to be maintained?... Fucking do what needs to be done before important families in the city start getting restless. When that happens, do you think the police would be able to mobilize like they did today?” Don q
