In the Grandier family's mansion which looked like a palace... In the hall decorated for the wedding ceremony, people dressed in luxurious gowns and suits gathered, questioning why the wedding hadn't started yet. Scott, the groom, tried to call Lisa, the bride, but there was no response, causing a bit of sweat to form on his forehead. The weather was a bit hot today. His sweat almost soaked his suit, making him a bit uncomfortable. If his subordinates had seen him so nervous, they would probably be astonished. He was a god-like figure in their eyes, never showing any sign of stress even in the face of the most formidable enemies. But today was different; it was his most special day. And Lisa was the woman he had decided to care for the rest of his life, and he didn't want any mistakes on their wedding day. He decided to go to the bridal suite on the second floor to see what she was doing there for almost 30 minutes. When Scott was about to grasp the doorknob of the br

One by one, they left the bridal room, leaving Scott alone there.Scott wasn't in a hurry. He wanted to clean his late mother's bracelet first.He brought the bracelet to the sink, cleaning it gently and patiently.After finishing cleaning the bracelet, Scott was about to leave the room. Suddenly, his phone rang.It was a call from Zach, one of the highest-ranking generals in the military who was his loyal servant. Scott picked it up."What's up, Zach?" Scott asked."General, we need to inform you something important about the girl who saved you a few years ago," Zach said.Scott frowned. "Go on," said Scott."Apparently, General, she is not the person you married today. Her name is not Lisa but Luisa. She previously lived with Lisa's family, but there is no blood relation between her and them. A few months ago, they sold her to a brothel and used the money they got to cover their family's business losses," Zach explained.Scott's eyes widened. His blood rushed suddenly."Are you sure

Scott stepped into The Red Velvet, its interior dominated by a vivid red. He glanced around briefly, then approached the receptionist's desk."What do you want?" the receptionist asked curtly, a woman in her mid-twenties with her hair in a ponytail."I'm looking for a woman named Luisa. I heard she's here," Scott said."Luisa?" the receptionist repeated, eyeing Scott suspiciously."Yes. Her name was Luisa Grandier, but maybe she's not using her last name anymore," Scott replied.Based on additional information from Zach during the ride to the brothel, Scott understood that Luisa wasn’t fully accepted as a member of the Grandier family. Unlike Lisa, Olivia's biological daughter, Luisa was an illegitimate child, born from a woman Daniel once kept as a mistress. This fact made Luisa despised by the Grandier family, especially Lisa, who felt threatened by her beauty. Among those who suggested selling Luisa to a brothel, Lisa was one of the most enthusiastic."Wait a moment, let me check

“Relax, Luisa. You’re safe now. No one’s going to hurt you here,” Scott said as he slowly placed the wet towel back into the basin of warm water he had set on the nightstand.Luisa furrowed her brow. Her eyes darted around wildly, and her hands trembled slightly.Scott guessed that memories of the incident at the brothel were flashing through her mind.“You’re in a villa in the Oval Enclave. I brought you here and treated the wound on your head. You are safe now,” Scott said, smiling gently.Scott noticed a slight change in Luisa’s expression. It wasn’t fear anymore but deep, excruciating sadness.“You brought me here from The Red Velvet? You saved me from…those men?” Luisa asked.“Yes. And I took care of all five of them. Now you can rest easy. No one will ever touch you without your consent again,” Scott replied.Suddenly, Luisa started to cry. Tears streamed down her cheeks.“Why are you crying?” Scott asked, concerned. “What’s making you sad? Shouldn’t you feel relieved right now?

Scott turned to see Steve walking toward them, his face annoyed. When Steve recognized the casually dressed man facing away from him as Scott, his expression immediately changed. His eyes widened, and his pupils dilated. Steve had been informed by Lombard that Scott was an extremely powerful man. If he offended Scott or made him uncomfortable, not only would his career as CEO of Dominion Group be over, but his life could be as well. Steve was about to greet Scott with a deep bow when Scott gave him a slight shake of his head. Steve understood. For reasons unknown, Scott didn’t want anyone to know the nature of their relationship. That explained why he was dressed so casually, even though he was at the Dominion Group office. “Mr. Steve!” Wayne called out, pushing Scott aside and stepping forward to approach Steve. Steve was a well-known businessman in Mildenbrough. Many people knew him, including job applicants like the bearded man. Then he added, "It looks like this woman appl
