The face of Finn was hard to look at, as if he had just swallowed a bug. He didn't bother hiding his discomfort. Louis couldn't help but look at him with disdain—arrogant people who were ignorant of their shortcomings and believed themselves as intelligent as Finn were genuinely despicable. The Smith family would collapse under Finn's leadership, even without the Alexander family or him. Louis stood up, glanced at Mason, and left the guest room. As Louis walked by, Mason heard him say, "Handle this matter well." Mason nodded and looked toward Finn, saying, "The contract violation has been dealt with appropriately. You may leave now." The Smith family and Atlantis would be practically enemies in the future, and Mason had no qualms about showing his attitude. Upon hearing Mason's words, Finn became extremely angry. He looked at Mason defiantly and said, "Just wait. Without a noble lineage, you're nothing. After Atlantis goes bankrupt completely, I'll show you what real suffering is.
Upon hearing Helen's words, Leon couldn't help but furrow his brow and said, "You should drop the pretense of being innocent. You should know that your acting skills are truly clumsy."Helen licked her lips, and her eyes curved into a mischievous smile. The leader looked at Helen, his eyes as if gazing at a monstrous creature. He never expected that there would be someone like her in this world. She, indeed, was a monster!Helen paid no attention to the leader's gaze. Usually, anyone who looked at her with such eyes would have to die. However, she couldn't kill him now because her master still needed him.Helen sighed with regret but then immediately regained her cheerfulness. She would crush his head when her master no longer needed him.Helen happily thought to herself and quickly departed. She moved around as if she were an invisible shadow. Desperation flickered in the leader's eyes. Perhaps today, they couldn't escape from this place...The others were searching everywhere. Right
As soon as Maya heard Louis say that, her pupils constricted, and her body trembled uncontrollably.Louis smiled slightly and took a seat opposite Maya, prepared in advance. He looked at Maya and said with a laugh, "Don't look so worried. I was joking with you. After all, you dared to harm Elena and steal the company's project. I thought you were powerful. It turns out I was mistaken."He then appeared sorrowful. Maya could only see how genuinely terrifying Louis was at this moment.Louis ignored Maya's feelings about him. He looked at her and gently said, "Alright, now you have two choices. One is to remain silent and be tortured until you die in agonizing pain that will make you reveal the secret you've always wanted to hide. The other is to confess everything immediately, and I won't do anything to you."Pausing momentarily, Louis smiled and softly said, "Of course, I can't protect you. I will hand you over to the law for prosecution. It's your choice."Maya trembled upon hearing L
Elena had finished preparing everything. Today, she wore a simple white dress, not as extravagant as the times she accompanied Louis to high-class parties. Looking youthful and beautiful, her smile added a touch of innocence. At this moment, she indeed resembled a twenty-year-old girl.Elena looked at herself in the mirror, confirming everything was right before stepping outside.Just then, her phone suddenly rang. Elena hurriedly picked it up to check. She thought it might be Louis calling her. However, the name jumping on the phone screen was Layla - her close friend. Layla was also a classmate who had skipped a grade, so they were close.Elena answered the call, and Layla's voice immediately came through the other end, "Elena, are you on your way?"Elena replied, "I'm getting ready to leave."Layla began to complain, "Oh my, I arrived too early. There's no one here yet! I could have gone home to freshen up a bit more!"Layla's words made Elena laugh, and she said, "Don't be silly l
Elena could also sense that many eyes were focused on Louis. Where he went, he could become the center of attention.As she was lost in her thoughts, Layla's voice rang out, "Elena, you are a terrible person!"Elena startled and looked up, immediately seeing Layla heading toward her. Elena raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask, "In what way am I terrible?"As soon as Elena finished asking, Layla was already in front of her. Layla's gaze involuntarily shifted towards Louis before quickly retracting. She looked at Elena, pretending to reproach her, and said, "Why didn't you tell me you have such an outstanding boyfriend?"Upon hearing Layla's words, Elena blushed and wanted to deny it immediately, but before she could say anything, Louis, standing beside her, spoke up, "I am not her boyfriend. Please don't say that; rumors can affect Elena's reputation."Louis genuinely didn't want others to think he was Elena's boyfriend, subsequently affecting her love life. Elena deserved an ex
That annoying voice cut through the cheerful mood of everyone. Louis also raised his head and looked towards the entrance. He saw Aboli with her arms draped around a man, her beautiful face displaying an undisguised arrogance.Drawing everyone's attention, including envy, she seemed genuinely happy. She lifted her head high, casting a sidelong glance at Louis. There was a cunning calculation in her eyes.Aboli looked towards her boyfriend, feigning coquettishness as she said, "My love, he is over there. He's the one who wants to get acquainted with me. When I refused, he threatened me. I'm really scared."Having grown up in the prestigious Alexander family, a renowned clan in the capital, Eren was accustomed to seeing deceitful expressions on people's faces. Aboli's clumsy acting techniques couldn't hide it from him. He was certain that things were not as she had described. However, Aboli was his girlfriend. Moreover, he enjoyed being relied upon and revered by others. Since childhoo
Louis said, "Do you want me to choose?" The corner of his eye curved in a contemptuous smirk, seemingly belittling Eren's arrogance. Eren felt himself being looked down upon. He glared at Louis, and his face contorted with anger. Seeing Eren's reaction, Louis chuckled and said, "Alright, I don't want an unfair fight. Let someone at this party choose a discipline for us to compete in." Louis tilted his head and looked at Eren, asking, "Do you agree with that?" With Louis speaking like that, Eren had nothing more to say. He also felt it would be fairer this way, as the only thing that angered him was Louis' attitude. How could someone like Louis, the president of a company on the verge of bankruptcy, maintain such a carefree and lighthearted demeanor? It was as if nothing could shake him... Eren was eager to bring Louis down from his pedestal. He casually pulled a man from the party over and furrowed his brow, saying, "As you've heard, I want you to choose a discipline for us to compete
Louis took off his swimming cap and then touched his face slightly. He turned around, slightly bending down to look at Eren, who was still underwater and said with a smile, "You've lost. It's time for you to fulfill your promise."Eren's face was colder than the water. His expression twisted with anger. He had never thought that he would lose to Louis. Why? Could he be unlucky enough for swimming to be Louis' strong suit?What Eren didn't know was that even if he had competed against Louis in anything else, he would still lose.Seeing Eren's silence, Louis raised an eyebrow and mockingly said, "What's wrong? Are you going to take back your words?"As soon as everyone heard Louis say that, they immediately looked at Eren with suspicion and contempt. Eren felt the gaze of everyone and immediately furrowed his brows. His face turned red with embarrassment and anger.He quickly swam to the shore, and the sound of the water seemed to wake Aboli, who had been standing by. She hurriedly ran
