The next day, Louis sat in the dressing room. He wore an expensive black suit that fit him perfectly. His hair was styled back, revealing his flawless handsome face. The iconic heir's wristwatch gleamed, and his snake-like eyes sparkled like gems. Today, he was the center of everyone's attention. Every detail of his appearance was meticulously groomed. "You've been sitting in front of the mirror for 10 minutes. I admit you're handsome, but do you need to be so vain?" Ace remarked. Louis paid no attention to Ace's words. He glanced at him, nodded with great satisfaction, and said, "You look much more handsome in this appearance than usual." Ace's face was hard to look at. He glanced at himself in the mirror and muttered, "Restrained." However, Louis's praise had a profound effect. Ace's entire face lifted, exuding an air of self-confidence. Because today, he appeared as Louis's bodyguard. Therefore, he had to dress much more neatly. The snug black suit outlined his perfect musc
Louis smiled and looked at Elder Cate, replying, "Everything is fine. This fainting episode was quite miraculous. After waking up, my legs even began to move again. Don't you see that this is what they call a stroke of luck?"Everyone noticed that Louis could walk again, although his steps seemed slow.Everyone present had thoughts, but their faces didn't reveal anything. Lucy had been watching them intently for a while now.At this moment, Louis suddenly furrowed his brows and coughed. At the same time, the castle's servants are pushed out of a wheelchair.Ace helped Louis sit in the wheelchair. Louis looked at them, smiling weakly, "I originally wanted to present the most perfect image in front of everyone, but unexpectedly, I could only stand for 10 minutes."Everyone present laughed. Elder Samuel chuckled and said, "You tried your best." He even thought that Louis wouldn't be able to stand up anymore, so he didn't expect him to make an effort.Naturally, the heir of the Adonis fami
Louis didn't expect Mrs. Adel to speak so directly. However, her attitude was not playful at all.Before Louis could say anything, Mr. Adonis jokingly said, "That doesn't seem like a good idea. My son doesn't ask me for help, let alone ask for yours."Mrs. Adel glanced at Mr. Adonis with a cold, silent gaze and returned to her seat.Mr. Adonis ignored this as if this was their usual dynamic.At that moment, a voice suddenly echoed in Louis' mind, "[Oh my, the scent of betrayal is so strong...]."Louis was almost startled. His whole body tensed for a moment before relaxing again.However, Ace, behind him, noticed something strange about him. He couldn't help but worry and ask, "Boss, are you okay?"Ace always paid close attention in places like this and referred to Louis as "boss."Louis shook his head and said, "I'm fine."There was still a hint of suspicion in Ace's eyes, but he didn't say anything further.The voice in his head continued, "[Your companion here seems quite perceptive.
Elder Samuel rushed out from inside when he heard about the Unfomilyn snake, and his face turned pale. However, he didn't immediately rush to help his son and just asked, "Michael, did you get bitten by the snake?"Michael coldly looked at his father, slowly nodding. The tight furrow of his brows showed that he was uncomfortable at the moment, even in pain, yet he didn't cry.On the other hand, Olivia, standing beside him, continued to gaze tearfully at him, looking as if she was about to cry any moment.Hermes also understood the seriousness of the situation. Everyone present had retreated a few meters away. Hermes looked at Louis and said, "Master, you should step outside. I will handle this matter."Louis didn't respond to Hermes. He smiled slightly and said, "Ace, how many snakes are here?"Ace dropped his sarcastic expression and replied seriously, "There is only one. You just need to look up to see it."Louis nodded and said, "The snakes have never come out of the cellar for wine
On the way back, Louis didn't say anything more to Ace. On the contrary, Ace couldn't help but say, "I didn't know you had such an attraction to snakes. I thought you were just pretending..."Louis: "..."Louis: "I'm inquisitive about how you perceive me?"Ace cleared his throat, not saying anything more.Louis paid no attention and said, "Hurry up. Thirty minutes have almost passed. If we're late, Michael will die."Ace chuckled and said, "I thought you didn't care?"Louis tilted his head and said, "Understand me. Of course, I care. It's my birthday today, and I don't want anyone to die during my birthday party."Moreover, the story between Olivia and Michael is quite intriguing.Above all, Louis felt that Michael was genuinely contradictory.Ace laughed, clearly not believing Louis's words. However, no matter what he thought, he quickly pushed Louis to his room.The guests outside had begun conversing with each other about future collaborations.This was also one of the reasons they
As soon as Ace left the room, Louis furrowed his brow. His right hand was now sore, and he could even feel a heat radiating from his hand to his brain.Leo's voice echoed just then: [How does it feel?]Louis pondered momentarily before replying: [It feels like my life force is being drained.]Leo laughed: [That's the price for saving someone's life. I've told you before, the more life force you have, the more people you can save.]Louis couldn't help but say: [Alright, I've heard these words from you too many times, and I won't forget.]Leo said: [That's good.]Then he disappeared once again. Louis clenched and loosened his hand, feeling slightly numb and fatigued even after Ace returned.The birthday party ended with everyone's joy and satisfaction. However, some felt differently."Bang!"A loud sound rang out as the precious ancient cups and dishes shattered into pieces.Olivia pushed her hair back, her face devoid of fear and replaced with a demonic fierceness.Angry, she sat on th
Immediately after finishing the conversation with Lucy, Louis couldn't help but signal Ace to take him back to the company.When they arrived at the company, they heard a guest was waiting. Louis asked, "Who is it?"Assistant Melly replied instantly, "He calls himself Michael, and I left him waiting in the waiting room."Louis didn't expect Michael to recover so quickly. He nodded and said, "Alright, take them to the chairman's office."Assistant Melly nodded, "I'll arrange it right away, sir."Ace led Louis to the private elevator reserved for the chairman and casually said, "He's probably here to thank you."Louis pondered, "That's probably the case."The private elevator was always fast, and they reached the chairman's office in no time. Inside the office, Michael was standing instead of sitting. His expression remained cold and serious, just like when they first met.Michael stared fixedly at the door, clearly waiting for Louis's appearance. Right as the door opened, almost instin
In the President's office, the atmosphere was strangely quiet. Ace asked Louis, "Do you believe that guy's fantastic story?"Louis fixed his gaze on the documents, not expressing any opinions.Ten minutes earlier.After hearing Louis's request, Michael fully agreed."I want you to pretend that you're still under her control. Act like the thing inside your head that wants to manipulate your memories hasn't disappeared. Because if you seem unable to say anything, maybe she'll come to you and discuss her plan. Then, you tell me every word without leaving out a single detail. Can you do that?"Michael nodded vigorously. "I can!"After finalizing their agreement, Michael left his office.No one else knew about their conversation. Michael came here today only to express his gratitude.Since the incident on his birthday, Louis could see that Olivia was arrogant and conceited. She would undoubtedly boast to Michael about her perfect plan.Because she believed she could control everything.Tha
