"See, from Miss Newton's expression I think I can guess something!" Judith finally let out a loud squeal, as Mina Newton gave no response to her question."Wow, Mrs. Judith was right! Mina Newton's facial expression says it all."When some people had thought that Henry James was simply lying about the ownership of Madam Larissa's collection, Mina Newton asked everyone to be quiet first."Don't make wild speculations before I confirm something!" Mina Newton's face looked annoyed as she warned Judith and the others."But, doesn't your phone screen show a 'blank' page, Ms. Newton? Doesn't that mean that none of Henry's identities were recorded on Madam Larissa's website?" Judith was still trying to sway public opinion.At that moment, Mina Newton shook her head doubtfully. She seemed to be remembering something. "I think I've encountered a case like this when an influencer tried to make a video reaction about the status of a VIP customer of Madam Larissa."People fell silent trying to di
Judith was most upset when she noticed her husband's face starting to perspire tiny beads of sweat. Roggie's expression resembled that of a prisoner anticipating his imminent execution.Pale. Sweating. Terrified. And desperate."Roggie, where is my strong and confident husband? You can't be taken aback by this kind of deceit! You need to realize that Mina Newton and Henry James are attempting to deceive us both!" Judith snapped at Roggie again, causing him to furrow his brow and swallow repeatedly."Judith! What do you mean?" asked Roggie with bated breath. "Miss Newton has seen for herself that Henry's assets reached over a hundred on Madam Larissa's official website, which means Henry James' wealth is indeed enormous! What if your cousin-in-law is now a wealthy man!" asked Roggie right in his wife's ear.Judith chuckled, her mouth still grinning widely and looking sarcastically at Henry and Mina. Even as others were now showing respect to Henry, Judith seemed to have no aspirations
Roggie struggled to process the words spoken by his boss, Edward. To make matters worse, immediately after uttering that sentence, Edward delivered a powerful slap to Roggie's cheek.He just told me to stop breathing?Isn't that an insinuation that Mr. Edward wanted me to vanish from the world?What kind of fatal mistake did I make that Mr. Edward would even want me to die?At the same time, Judith was shocked beyond belief at Edward's actions. "W... Why did you slap my husband?" asked Judith who was shocked to see her husband being slapped by his own superior in front of everyone. "What kind of mistake would make you slap my husband in public like this?""Yes, Mr. Edward, why did you slap me?"Edward looked angry but also a little confused, he tried to catch his breath before finally returning to swearing at Roggie and Judith."I don't know exactly what you did wrong, but, the largest shareholder of Crystal Clear Jewelry gave me an order to slap you a hundred times for your negligent
Meanwhile elsewhere at the same time, Lily Wilson was at a beauty salon with her mother. That afternoon, Lily who had just returned from the Emerald Group then ordered a Taxi to take her to visit Catherine Wilson's house.When Lily arrived at her mother's house, Catherine immediately took Lily to the beauty salon. And, now both of them were getting various kinds of beauty treatments. After the various treatments were done, Catherine asked the salon attendant to do Lily's makeup."Lily, even though you are blessed with a beautiful face, you still need to take care of your body and do your makeup. You should also make sure that everything on your body is precious and of great value. Wore the lavish dress! That way, other people will be more easily attracted to you."Catherine Wilson felt that she had given Lily some wise words. At the same time, Lily, who was being made up by the makeup artist, seemed to exhale repeatedly, indicating that she did not agree with Catherine Wilson's words.
Lily asked for permission from Catherine to call Henry first. With pleasure, Catherine allowed Lily to find a quiet place if there were any private matters that Lily wanted to convey to Henry.After all, Catherine felt there was nothing to worry about if Lily asked Henry to make preparations before Henry came to the Royal Champillon Hotel. In Catherine's mind, she wondered what preparations could an unemployed husband like Henry James make? And, of course, the answer was, nothing!"Lily, please tell Henry to bring plenty of tissues." Catherine reminded Lily before Lily went to find a quiet place to call her husband."Uh, tissues? What for?""Ha ha, apparently, Henry is going to cry his eyes out tonight. So, it wouldn't hurt if you gave him an insight of what will happen tonight. Also tell him that tonight Mommy has prepared a young, handsome, and wealthy prospective son-in-law. According to Mommy, there is no gap for Henry to win over him or even just keep up with Mommy's chosen candi
Lily had arrived at the Royal Champillon Hotel at seven in the evening. At that time, the taxi Lily was traveling in was worried because the car was stopped by security before it even reached the drop point in the front lobby. To be more precise, the security stopped Lily's taxi right at the entrance gate, making the taxi driver feel confused because there shouldn't have been any mistake he made."Sorry, sir. Tonight you cannot enter the Royal Champillon Hotel because it has been booked by someone," said the security to the taxi driver.The taxi driver turned his head back, as if asking for an explanation from Catherine and Lily."Madam, are you sure the place you are going to is the Royal Champillon Hotel?" the driver asked Catherine.Catherine Wilson was surprised because she also did not expect the Royal Champillon Hotel to be booked by someone. Her expression looked complicated when she was questioned by the taxi driver."One moment, can I call someone first?" Catherine asked the
The taxi driver glanced back at Lily and Catherine, observing them very closely. His curiosity getting the best of him, he then finally asked, "Madam, why didn't you just tell the security at the beginning that your group had fully booked the Royal Champillon Hotel? Well, you know, I'm worried we might be fined or something for entering the sterilized area without permission."The taxi driver's words only added to the confusion in Lily and Catherine's minds. Somehow, they found it difficult to believe that the one who had most likely booked the Royal Champillon Hotel was Zeke from Neo City, the man who claimed to be attracted to Lily after seeing her on television.As both of them were lost in their own thoughts, neither Lily nor Catherine had a chance to respond to the taxi driver's words."Mom, look at that..." Lily Wilson choked up as their taxi got closer to the lobby of the Royal Champillon Hotel. There was a Red Carpet that had been installed along the lobby door to the inner ar
Ting!Ting!Ting!Lily's hands were shaking violently as she felt her phone ringing notifications repeatedly. She wanted to open her phone but at the same time, she was terrified to see who had just sent her messages."Miss, can you take me to the toilet?" asked Lily to an employee of the Royal Champillon Hotel who accompanied her to the restaurant of the hotel.The female employee immediately looked down and nodded her head. "Of course, Miss Lily. I will escort you to the nearest toilet."Lily breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly to the nearest toilet. Meanwhile, Catherine was busy turning on her cell phone, taking pictures and videos of how wonderfully the Royal Champillon Hotel welcomed her.With the video, Catherine would be able to show off her good fortune to her social friends.Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!"Ah, Zeke called me!" Catherine let out a stifled squeal. Immediately, she picked up the phone from the wealthy young man who had given her a lavish surprise that ni
