Anna snapped her head up and smiled at her friend. However, the instant her eyes landed on Nichola, who was accompanying Liliana, her expression twisted rapidly.Of course, how could her expression not falter when she saw the only man, who dared to reject her without even thinking! How audacious! However, Liliana failed to notice the hostility in the air, except for Nichola. Nichola curled his lips amusingly but didn't comment. " Anna! Thank you coming! I guess you already know I am famished! I was so engrossed in watching the news about the coming of the Redgrave that I forgot to have my breakfast. Luckily, you brought something for me. Girl, I must say you are a life saver!" Liliana exclaimed happily, blabbering with an excited face, and she rubbed her hands together. " C'mon girlfriend, it's just a meal." Anna rolled her eyes in a jovial manner and gestured for Lily to have a seat. " Don't waste time. The food will get cold. I want you to have it while it hot." " O
Two days flew past very fast, and the expected waiting day came. Almost every citizens in the country were eager to celebrate the coming of the Redgraves again, especially those who knew the true story. A five star luxury well decorated hotel was picked for the banquet. Once it was seven in the evening, the guests who are the wealthy families in the country and others, started arriving and making their way in. It didn't take long for the hall to be filled. Anna and Lily were having a drink together in the hall, discussing happily as they went to greet some of their wealthy friends. Everyone in the hall were satisfied. It was obvious they were all excited, most importantly the investment the Redgraves announced. Lisa was also in the hall, but she couldn't socialize with so many people without the help of Mark. Then, she stood up with a glass of wine in her hand and decided to look for Mark. In the same moment, Nichola was just arriving at the banquet. Lisa came outsi
They were terrified, and their expressions paled! No, they can't be exposed just like that! Swiftly, Mark ran to a corner and made a call to someone unknown.." Delete the outside footage asap! I don't want to be implicated! After you are done, message me, and I will send you your pay as usual!" After instructing the strange person, he hung up and went back to meet Lisa. At this moment, Oliver had called the person in charge of the surveillance cameras..Soon, the footage was sent to him. Nichola waited patiently.Oliver was unaware of anything and opened the footage to have a look, however all he saw was a blank view. His brows pulled together deeply, obviously dissatisfied! " Did someone tampered with this ?!" He roared out, glancing around. " There is nothing here! What's going on?!" Hearing this, Mark secretly rejoiced and curled his lips satisfactory..Lisa was stunned and didn't understand what was happening. Nichola didn't react. It was as if he was already expec
Nichola slowly turned to them anxiously, his nerves tensing. " Mum, Dad, is that you two?" He pointed to the two unfamiliar faces staring at him keenly. " So, this is really you two? How did you survive, and why didn't you look for me all these while? Why do you have to make me suffer all these years?!" Leonard and Maria, who were the real parents of Nichola, stood unmoving, their eyelids dropping, and they were overwhelmed with a guilty feeling. They were even lost on how to explain the whole story to Nichola. Nichola smiled bitterly, shifting his gaze away from them. " You don't have to say anything. I am already aware of the whole story since my foster parents explained everything to me." Hearing this, Leonard and Maria's expression gradually relaxed, and their mouths curved into a slight smile.." We are sorry son." They shook their head apologetically. " We are truly guilty for that, and we only did that to protect you. If we didn't do that, you might have gotten killed
Liliana's heart stopped a beat, and a flush creeped onto her face.." What do you mean, Nichola?" Nichola placed a finger on her lips and could feel how nervous Liliana was at the moment. " I promise I will take the responsibility." He assured her and leaned more closer to her. ** In a private room, two people were entwined together, seemingly not caring about the outside world, as they moaned and dived into the overwhelming sensation and addicting pleasure. Sounds of skin slapping at each other resounded around the whole room, a testament to the severity of their union. The temperature was thick and hot, lacing with a familiar pungent smell....*** Previously, when Lily went to the restroom, Anna decided to meet up with one of her loyal underlings in the banquet. " Miss Anna," a familiar waiter approached Anna and bowed. Anna didn't even bother to glance at the waiter but said haughtily, with a contemptous expression. " Don't come close to me. Can't you talk f
All of a sudden, her eyes landed on a piece of shiny emerald ear ring.. Anna's eyes flickered with an inexplicable emotion, and she immediately took the piece of emerald ear ring. " This belongs to Liliana.." She checked the ear ring carefully and turned to Dane. Dane snatched the ear ring from Anna's hand hardly, and his eyes even became fiercer! " It shouldn't be what I am thinking! If anything happens to my daughter, I will hold you responsible!" He threatened Anna, his brows snapping together deeply! Anna trembled, knowing she couldn't escape this. This was when something struck her, and her eyes went wide on her own. " Mr. Rossi, I remember there is a tracker on Liliana's ear rings. There is only a pair here. The other pair might be with Liliana. Why don't we try...and track that?" She swallowed down nervously as she suggested in trembling voice, a sweat tickling down from her face. Dane found her idea useful, and he didn't waste a time to order his men! " Locate
Oliver and the guards also heard this, and they speedily headed towards where the gunshot came from.Dane was so furious he couldn't think straight. He kept shooting the gun at Nichola, wanting to finish him at that moment. Anna was startled by this, but also excited at the same time.She thought since Nichola didn't die by her hands, then he might as well die from Dane's hands. Nichola was swift and managed to dodged all the bullets shooting towards him.In fact, he even grabbed hold of Liliana and protected her. Liliana was still soaked in regret and humiliation. It was at this time, Oliver and his men appeared and rushed in! " What's going on?!" Oliver shouted, glancing all around with a sharp gaze. Then, his eyes landed on the two people, who were slightly unclad, and his expression changed instantly. He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, not knowing how to react in this kind of situation, or what to say. The same time, Scar, Leonard and Emilia, including the Wigh
" I can't do anything. I warned you, but you failed to listen to me. You have done the deed, and you both have to responsible for it. But note, I won't accept him!" He made his decision, and there was no going back. He would never accept Nichola! Liliana was full of guilt and didn't dare to say anything. ~~~ Nichola stepped into a particular Limousine, the moment he was out of the hotel. The Limousine belonged to his parents, and sure enough, Leonard and Emilia were in it, patiently waiting for their son. Nichola wasn't in a better mood and just wore a stoical look to conceal the gloom and annoyance, that was simmering in him. Even the air around him was sort of grim, heavy, and unfriendly. Leonard, being the one who had met several kinds of people, and a legend in the business world, was swift to feel the severe change in the atmosphere as a result of Nichola's presence. His eyebrows pulled together, allowing slim lines to set on his forehead. " Do you want to suf
