The worry washed over her like a flood, even though she knew Lucas was a great guy. Not having him there could be a big danger, and she knew that Leona liked Lucas. He was especially concerned about the ethics of that woman who didn't want to lose to Lora; she would do anything, even to make her fiancé. So he had been walking around in his room with a very uncomfortable feeling. "Lucas, are you seriously going to go alone?" Lora wanted him to go with her servant. She had met Chris a few times and knew about him from her father. He was a wonderful man and would certainly be a great help to Lucas. I don't know how many times Lora exhaled. She rubbed her forehead, feeling depressed. "Yes. I know what I'm doing, Lora." At that moment, Lucas was putting a pen in his suit pocket. He straightened the suit he was wearing. Chris was there preparing everything for him. This place was perfect for a show before they showed up at the giant party. Lora plopped herself down on the sofa. S
The two men were silent momentarily at their honored guest's words. They laughed afterward. "You're very good at saying something funny, Mr. Lucas." Ricky tried to relax himself by assuming this was a joke. But Lucas didn't react. He told the two people that what he had just said was true. And a few seconds later, they were silent."Mr. Lucas, what is my daughter Leona lacking? She's so kind and wonderful." He started to become more blunt when he said it. He slightly pushed his daughter's back so Leona could do something to get him a positive outlook."I can do anything, and you can count on me if you want to do something, Mr. Lucas." She was a little nervous when she said it while holding her chest. She explained while worrying that it wasn't enough and her father would blame her.Leona spoke again. It had come to this point, so she had to say everything on her mind. "Mr. Lucas, I'm in love with you. We are meant to be together, Mr. Lucas." She advanced but stopped moving immediatel
Leona looked at her father with her head hurting so much. She really didn't know what her father meant. She felt so uneasy about this."Dad, what do you mean?"Ricky leaned closer, gripping his daughter's shoulders so tightly that it hurt Leona. "There are many people who hate and want the Carter family destroyed!" Leona looked into her father's eyes, eyes that were consumed by anger. Those eyes were so greedy, and they looked like a terrifying monster.She was terrified but couldn't say anything out of her mouth. "We will work with them to eliminate the Carter family."That statement instantly made Leona feel like her father had gone crazy. "Dad! That's so dangerous. You don't have to do that!" Instead of listening to Leona's words, Ricky scared her even more. Her father could really put them all in danger. And his father was now holding her hand tightly, giving her a look entirely of foul intent that made her body unable to move.He has looked down on our family, so he should be re
news of the breaking of the engagement between the Elliot and Ryot families was happening. The current situation was a very unpleasant one. Right in the city center, she wanted to think everything was fine."This woman is completely ignorant. She doesn't know her true worth to dare say that she will be with Lucas Carter, who already has a fiancé." Niel's huge voice attracted people's attention.Even his arrival here had caught people's attention. They thought that Niel and Leona would still meet for a date. However, the current situation made them so close because there was no romantic situation happening now, but it was full of opposition.'What does that mean? Didn't she often boast of being engaged to Niel Eliot?"The other woman spoke with a condescending expression. "Don't you know Leona?" she looked at the other women individually. "She's always been a bitch, always wanting to get her hands on extraordinary men. She doesn't know herself exactly as Mr. Niel would say."In her hea
it has become a troublesome thing. Many people talked about Ryot's family as if it were a family of trash. Even the people by his side moved away to save their positions.Ricky knew it greatly impacted his family and was very unpleasant. But he endured this humiliation for something more. The hand squeeze was firm as a rock, the jaw sharp as a knife.Ricky strode confidently to his feet. "They'll all regret it. They won't get anything." He spoke to himself, and his footsteps quickened when he saw the men in black standing guard.He was sure that the secret meeting place was near. Then he entered, and the place was very grand. There were three people there. Two wore masks, and one he knew well because he was famous and, of course, because they had met before."Mr. Margo, I came to see you to destroy that man." Margo smiled, hearing Ricky's words. He knew Ricky would see him soon. He was ambitious and didn't realise his shortcomings.Margo Brimans's family was famous in the natural reso
She had become the centre of attention from all sides. The breaking of the engagement had attracted the attention of high-society people, and she had earned the worst title of undesirable woman to marry.With such a thing, her presence anywhere would attract much attention. People would point at her and start talking wrong about her again. Likewise, when she was at home, her father always looked down on her, and things at home were terrible.No matter where she was, she didn't seem well received. And for her to go out like this, she had to do it secretly. She went through the backstreets of her house and tried not to let anyone know that she wasn't home.Her father wasn't home either. Even now, she was terrified of what would happen to her."Where are they...?" she squeezed her hand tightly.Very few people came to this café in this remote place. She deliberately chose this café because then no one would recognise her. She was also forced to wear a mask on her face.The longer the hou
"Everything is as you say, Mr. Margo. Lucas Carter would have been trapped, and that woman would have been easy to get." Ricky was on the phone with someone he considered necessary.Just an hour ago, he received 200 million dollars, which he used to hire mercenaries for his operations.He will receive other funds in addition to other operational costs. It will be a fee for him.He was walking around very happy about this. The servants were quite surprised by his speech but did not dare say anything, letting their great master into his room.The happy Ricky plopped down on the sofa and acted casually. "Yes, I got that information from you. She will come to the party, and I will do a little provocation there.""You have to do it well. I'll be watching from afar." Ricky was pleased to hear Margo's answer; the man's attention was an extraordinary compliment. In the evening, dinner was served in the Ryot living room. He didn't care about Leona and called her to eat together, which depres
On this quiet night, there was no peace for the woman who had been busy munching on the snacks in her hand. She bought them out of curiosity for new things she had never experienced. Once she tried them, she liked them so much that she had already eaten four bags.“Come on, Lora, why do you look so worried?” Nolan, who was in the same room, felt disturbed by his daughter’s noisy snacking. He had been reviewing work documents but lowered his glasses, staring more intently at her. Lora sighed.“Father, of course, I’m anxious. You know something terrifying might happen to us tonight.” She set the snacks down in frustration, her eyes sharp with worry.She glanced around the room. There were many unfamiliar faces and even more people outside. “Father… something bad could happen, right…?” Her voice was raspy, partly because she had eaten too many snacks. Her unease was understandable. She already knew about Ricky's threat. Lucas had warned her that the man intended harm to her and her fam
