Chapter 27“This underground room was designated by my late mom, where experiments are being made on herbs before being formulated into drugs.“ Hong Fei explained to me." My mom was the brain behind the success of City Light Hospital. She was a great pharmacist, it was such a pity that she only shared some of her secrets with my father.“" The secret was written in a journal which had been passed from generation to generation. My mom was fortunate to blend the knowledge from the book with the modern knowledge, hence she was able to formulate and invent drugs.““This was her study room, and experimenting room.“ Hong Fei said in a sober tone lowering her gaze.Nathan could feel the brightened countenance of Hong Fei fading into a griever one.Tempted not to ask but he couldn't control the questions so he inquired. “ Why sad when you have the journal with you?“ Nathan curiously asked." That was what I think but later on I realized I was so careless. I couldn't find the key to the lock,
Chapter 38Rue's eyes widened in shock. “Honey do you know him?" He inquired.Angie became startled,she rolled her eyes around,and her fingers dug into her hair.“No, I must have mistaken him for someone."Angie spat. Initially she wanted to acknowledged Rue that Nathan was her ex-boyfriend,that he was nothing but a miserable person but later realized the implications if perhaps she talked.She diverted her gaze towards Rue, her hands softly grabbed his chin, her cheeks brightened with a warm smile.“Honey, what are you thinking about? It's our first day, you shouldn't allow such a lowlife to ruin your mood.“ Angie said aloud to Nathan's hearing.Moments of silence.Rue was quiet, as he stared hard at Angie, his deadly glare suddenly reduces to a look filled with lust. He pulled her closer to him. “You're beautiful."He complimented, licking his bottom lips.Angie smiled at his compliment, and turned around such that she was staring at Nathan from the corner of her eyes.She was surp
Chapter 39“Guards!" Rue yelled.“This necklace is for Hong Fei but If you're still adamant about taking the necklace from me, I would not engage in a shameful fight with you.“Nathan said, and Angie darted her gaze from him towards Rue. She quietly observed his face, from the wrinkles on his face, Angie was afraid that Rue might be a married man.“Hong Fei?" Her brow creased into a frown as she muttered the word.She quietly withdrew herself from him. So, Nathan had been working with Rue's mistress? She gasped in disbelief.Although she never wants to get herself clung to a married man because of the aftermath scandal, since the mistress was Nathan's boss, how about she hypnotize Rue?“Hong Fei?“ Rue scowled. “Do you think I'm a gigolo compared to you?" He rolled his eyes.Silence."If I take the necklace from you, Hong Fei would not beat, chivy, or chase me out of the house. Rather, it is you who would receive the aforementioned.“"It would be my pleasure if she chased you out of t
Chapter 40“Honey, you don't have to take some permission from me, I'll have the house Butler to arrange my outlet for you.“ Hong Fei said over the line." Should I go in at the moment?“ He inquired. “Have you been standing outside the whole time?" She asked, curiousness filled in her voice. " What sort of useless husband is this?" She cursed and hung up.Nathan at the moment became confused. He pondered how his act or speech had gotten Hong Fei infuriated.She even hung up on him! He squeezed his face.Maybe he should take a walk in or better still take a ride home to avoid embarrassment, but he was hungry, right?“Just go in."His instincts instructed so he adhered to it.Nathan found himself walking back into the store, following the traces of the arrow down to the outlet.“Dring…” his phone rang, he glanced over the screen to behold a strange number.He picked, keeping silent. “Hi, Mr. Nathan this is Butler Tyler, and your room reservation has been booked, you may go in with the s
Chapter 41After a long period of heated argument, Nathan had no choice but to withdraw himself.He doesn't want to be the cause of a dispute in the family between two siblings. Moreover, he's just a son-in-law.Angie gave a sardonic smirk at Nathan as he walked away.***”The next day at the annual meeting.Hong Fei, Rue, alongside some of Hong fei maternal uncles were present for the meeting.They were going to sell their shares to be able to invest in a large project.Hong Fei was seated at home when her assistant brought the phone closer to her ear.“What do you mean!" She thundered, her brightened eyes getting faded.“My brother invested two hundred million dollars?" Hong Fei's eyes widened in shock as she repeated those words.She has been in control of their family wealth based on her father's instructions to not permit Rue to be in charge of the family's business.Her eyes glided through the space in her front. She puffed out hot air to ease her anger and tension.Today's meet
Chapter 42“Nathan, "Hong fei voice spread through the atmosphere in a deadly aura, even though she had called calmly.Nathan looked up shivering. Not that he was afraid of Hong Fei but he just wanted to play his roles well.“How much did my brother pay you to get my downfall?“ She asked with seriousness in her tone."I and my brother should combine our wealth? To kick the new investor away?“ Her brow furrowed at her utterance.Hong Fei had her reasons, but she wasn't ready to spout it. She didn't want anyone apart from her immediate family to know about the relationship that subsided between her and Rue. “What news did you hear about me outside, gigolo?" The last of her words hurt Nathan's ego.Nathan didn't utter a word, he only swallowed down a heavy lump in his throat.“Paid?" Nathan rolled his eyes at Hong Fei. “What would your brother pay me for?“ Nathan asked. He feigned ignorance as if he wasn't aware of where Hong Fei was driving.Hong Fei cackled into a bust of laughter. “Y
Chapter 43Hong fei turned to behold the speaker, it was no other than Aunt Lisa the sister to Mr. Hong.She has been in exile eversince Hong fei was six years,and had always be denied access to the mansion because of the silly mistake she committed.Hong fei could still remember the scenes as they played in her head like a movie.When Hong fei mother had died, Hong fei was sick and me Hong was not around, Aunt Lisa didn't bother about Hong fei and asked her to kneel under the sun with her face to the sky.Hong fei temperature rose, which caused her to convulsed.When Mr. Hong had returned from his outing, he couldn't control his anger as he barnished her from the mansion,and also scolded Rue for not trying to defend and protect himg fei.“Wonder! The Little vixen has grown so big." Aunt Lisa spoke with taunt in her tone. Hong fei who was furious at that moment, began calm. The frown which had settled on her face suddenly disappeared as if they never exist.“The barnished woman is h
Chapter 44What Insolent!What the hell did they take him for?Nathan's eyes squinted in anger.“Yes aunt, he looked hungry, but I think we shouldn't undermine him.“ Rue suspiciously rolled his eyes away from Nathan, with his hands draping over Aunt Lisa's shoulders.“Huh?" Aunt Lisa exclaimed in shock. “Whether we undermine him or not, there's no way he could leak our plans to his husband, his husband is fire, and would never even stoop herself to believe him.“Aunt Lisa taunted. She knew Nathan was afraid of Hong Fei and would never be able to summon the courage to tell on them. Whatever, Nathan is nothing but a wife in her presence. She believes that Hong Fei is the husband, cause definitely, she would definitely be the main provider and controller of the house.But who cares if he tells?Smirked! “ If he tells, we make the house unbearable for him, and have his scrotum thrown to the dogs.“ " I doubt if he can even make his husband pregnant.“Aunt Lisa said, climbing through the
