Peter insisted on taking Arthur straight to the Selune household.Once Arthur stepped inside, Peter turned and walked away, his face slipping back into its usual cold, emotionless mask.He shot a command to his subordinates: “What happened today stays between us. No one talks about it. Anyone who dares to leak it... won’t live to regret it.”His men froze, their bodies tensing in fear.Inside the Selune home, the family was practically buzzing with excitement over a special invitation they’d just received from the prestigious Charles family.Ana clutched the invite like it was gold, her eyes gleaming with excitement.“Honey, look at this!” she said, her voice almost a squeal.“The Charles family is throwing a party tomorrow night, and it’s for someone huge! You better get dressed to impress – who knows, you might even get a chance to meet this VIP!”She shoved the invitation into Selune’s hands with a grin.Harold couldn’t contain his pride.“That’s right!” he added, puffing out his c

Ever since the news broke that Ken Wells had dumped Selune, he’d been sure her family was done for.But to his shock, word spread fast that the richest man in the city was backing her!And it didn’t stop there.The fallout from Ken’s split with the wealthiest guy sent ripples through the social world.Other powerful families started distancing themselves from the Wells family, causing Ken's family stock to drop through the floor—by more than ten times!Obviously, Ken wasn’t invited to this fancy banquet.If it weren’t for Elina tipping him off, he never would have known about this golden opportunity!Ken’s eyes locked onto Selune as she walked into the grand hall.A cold smirk curled on his lips.He leaned over to whisper to his subordinates, who immediately disappeared.He hadn’t forgotten that crazy guy.The one who had taken down his bodyguard, breaking a few ribs in the process, and humiliated him in front of everyone.Ken scanned the room. No sign of that guy.Lucky him.If he we

The lights in the room were still on, but the warmth had drained out of them, like an invisible black mist had taken over.The glow was swallowed by the shadow, turning cold and eerie, casting an unsettling vibe to anyone who dared to step inside.The air felt heavy, thick with something off.Two nurses and a doctor stood in the middle of the room—not helping anyone, not even moving.They were frozen, as if trapped by some unseen force, stuck in place.The three of them formed a tight circle, eyes blank, postures weirdly stiff, like they were guarding something dark and forbidden.But the worst part? Their necks.Twisted at angles no human could ever bend, like they’d been snapped by some invisible hand.The twisted necks emitted a nauseating, uncanny feeling, making it impossible to look directly at them.One of the nurses, near the door, had skin as dark as bruises.Her eyes were rolled back so far, all Arthur could see were the whites, staring straight at him.Her face was twisted

Peter Charles’s panicked voice blared through the phone, and Arthur’s eyes narrowed."What’s happening?" Arthur’s voice was ice cold.Peter didn’t hesitate. He fired off a surveillance video.On screen, Selune was stumbling out of the banquet hall.She pulled out her phone to make a call when a black SUV screeched to a stop next to her.Four big men piled out, grabbed her, and shoved her into the vehicle—no questions asked.It all happened in less than a minute.Arthur’s blood boiled.Seeing Selune dragged away like that, his heart slammed in his chest.Anyone who laid a finger on his woman—anyone—was as good as dead.Meanwhile, George, witnessing his granddaughter’s kidnapping, was nearly on his knees, begging."Please, save my granddaughter!" His voice cracked.“I won’t let anything happen to her!“Without hesitation, Arthur threw open the window and jumped out.Peter’s voice cracked on the other end."I’ve got my men tailing the SUV. We’ll have her back in no time!""Where?" Arthur

Peter Charles burst into the room, winded and looking a little frazzled.He quickly realized he’d probably just messed with the host’s mood.With a forced smile, he scrambled to apologize.“Sorry I’m late!”“Today’s mistake is mine. I should have taken better care of my esteemed guest!”“Luckily, Ma—”Arthur cleared his throat loudly.Peter immediately paused, awkwardly rubbing his neck.“…Arthur showed up just in time. Or I’d be in real trouble now.”Peter was still adjusting to his new role, feeling a bit nervous.He glanced over at Arthur, then turned to Selune, speaking carefully.“Miss Selune, I’m really sorry for what you’ve been through tonight. You name your price, and I’ll make it right. I’ll keep my word.”Selune’s eyes widened. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.Honestly, she’d already been shocked when the wealthiest man in the city actually showed up here.She thought, sure, he’d probably send someone to clean up the mess and handle the situation.But him showing
