Nina smiled helpless and stretched out her hand to rub Nichola's cheek. " You have really change a lot, and i am so proud of you. But now that you are the heir to a multi billionaire family, what are your plans? You need to know what to do or haven't you thought about it?" She raised her brows with curiosity, as she questioned seriously. Nina's question made Nichola's hand to purse, his forehead creasing, and he pursed his lips into a thin straight line. Seeing this, Nina thought otherwise and frowned slightly. " Don't tell me you don't have any plans?"" No," Nichola shook his head, giving a negative answer, then he said again calmly, " I haven't really decide much until I see my parents. But for now, I want to keep my identity a low profile, in order not to attract any attention and most importantly, the hidden enemy. I just have to be very careful and still take on the poor unfortunate guy title, till it would be the right time to reveal who I truly am." His eyes hard
Nichola heard her but didn't comment. Instead, he squinted his eyes sharply, like shattered ice, containing a hint of anger! " If you are here to break the marriage contract, then do it! Don't bother acting like an undignified brat! Undignified brat?Anna felt like cursing out loud, but she clenched her fists silently! " Yes, I am here to break the marriage contract, and you don't have the right to talk back at me! Are you hurt?! I can't date someone like you, so this marriage contract is just a joke! I will call my lawyer and have everything finalized. You better cooperate, so it will peaceful!" Nichola was about to take a step forward, wanting to leave when he heard this. A wee ridiculous smile hung down his lips, and he pinched the bridge of his nose. " Miss Anna, I don't think you read body languages, cause if you truly do, you would have known I don't want to have anything to do with you. In fact, your presence irks me to the bone, but what can I do? I am not interested
Liliana raised her brows and stared weirdly at her. "Oh really?" She shrugged and adjusted herself properly on the couch. " So tell me, it's early in the morning, and I am not in a good mood right now. Why are you here?" Anna turned to her, and a scowl instantly scrunched on her face! " It's that Nichola! Grandfather threatened me yesterday if I don't go on with the marriage contract, but I don't want to! Why can't he just understand and make me happy?! Doesn't my happiness matters?!" She growled, digging her sharp nails into her thighs with frustration. " But you know what?! I don't care! I went to see Nichola, and i already broke the marriage contract! Well, he agreed, and I just need my lawyer finalize it." Liliana, who was about to sulk up, listened to this, and her face immediately became ugly like she had been slapped. " Oh, so that's why you are annoyed?" She muttered absentmindedly. "Yes!" Anna barked and twisted her lips. " Isn't that worth it?!" Then without warn
Just as they stepped outside, some shadows instantly blocked their view." Don't say any word and just follow us." A tall burly man stood in front of them, with cold glaring eyes and leaned slightly closer to them, to display the gun hid in his waist. Instantly, Anna held her breath, her body stiffening. She didn't dare to move, not with what she just saw. Lily jerked her head backward, with an incredulous daze. " What is the meaning of this?! Who are you people?! You can't just come here, and tell us to follow you! That's insane!" It took some seconds for Liliana to reacted, and she pushed the burly man in front of her away, gritting her teeth. Immediately, the rest of the men loomed over her, threatening her with their chilly and heavy presence. The burly man that was pushed , growled and swiftly hit Liliana's cheek! Pah! " It seems they think we are here to play. Take them away now!" He ordered and wiped away the stains on his shirt. Anger ripped though Liliana
" Take me instead! She is innocent and not involve this. I am the daughter of Lord Rossi, so I can take this! Or, can't you do it? Are you all scared of my dad?!" A wicked curve bloomed on her thin cherry lips, and she smirked. Who would dare to touch the daughter of the biggest Mafia boss in the country? The men were frightened and immediately their expressions changed. Of course, who doesn't know the daughter of the biggest Mafia boss in the country? With this, they turned to their leader, who had pursed his lips the instant Lily appeared. " Miss Rossi, don't be silly! You can't threatened us with your status!" The leader hissed through gritted teeth and sneered. " Silly?" Liliana repeated and chuckled. " You call this silly? How about i stab myself to release my friend, and my death will instantly be on you. What will you call that? Extra silly?" She grinned, her foxy eyes sparkling of a whimsical and a sinister glow. The men gasped and lowered their eyes. This was a
Nichola threw a tender smile at her and winked playfully. " Just trust me. I will save you both and get you out of here, unharmed." He crossed his chest with his hand and promised sincerely. Liliana choked. She felt a lump in her throat and blinked her tiny tears away. " Nichola!" The men had already surrounded Nichola, giving him no chance. Immediately, one of the men appeared in front of Nichola and raised his fists, wanting to hit the Nichola, but the latter stepped back and raised his long leg instead, kicking him across the wall! The strange man fell down and rolled violently, before his head banged the hard wall harshly! Blood sprouted out instantly like a water from a broken pipe! Witnessing this, the other men were alerted and turned serious. They thought for Nichola to be able to kick a person like that, then he mustn't be an ordinary man. With this, they decided not to go easy on him. Liliana's face brightened, when she saw how Nichola kicked the man again
Artis Hardy stepped into the sleek, modern headquarters of Texter Technologies, only to find a significantly different atmosphere than his previous visit. The lingering tension and frosty reception had dissipated, replaced by a polite and cautious demeanor from the staff. It looked like the dramatic effects of the previous event were yet to be forgotten, and no one wanted to risk offending him again.As Artis made his way through the bustling corridors to reach the top floor where his office was located, employees nodded respectfully and exchanged polite greetings.This time, the air was charged with curiosity, and Artis could feel the weight of eyes on him as he entered the lift.As he stepped out, he found that Claire McKonnell was already waiting for him in the hallway outside his office, probably the receptionist had informed her in advance. She offered a warm smile, "Good morning, Mr. Hardy. It's a pleasure to have you here," Claire greeted him, leading the way into his office
Subconsciously, Liliana clenched her jaws, and her face hardened....Nichola squinted his eyes fiercely at Scar and raised his chin. Scar didn't care about their expressions. He was boiling at the moment, with rage pulsing through his veins, and this was mainly because his plan was ruined! What happened was all his plan, but it didn't go as he anticipated! He wanted to use Anna to achieve his aims and forced Collins to a corner, but it seemed luck wasn't on his side this time. Watching him like this, Liliana instinctively stood in front of Nichola in a defending position, her lips tensing. " He saved me! Without him, I would have been dead, so don't do anything to him," she immediately said, wanting to clarify the situation. " I don't care!" Scar's heart twisted, and he grabbed hold of Liliana. " Your dad sent me here since he is out of the country. Why are you defending him?! He only happens to save you! Don't treat him like a god!"Liliana sneered and twitched her nose.
