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
As Henry read Lily's message, his heart skipped a beat. A young and wealthy man had now fully booked a luxury hotel for dinner with his wife?The wealthy man also knew very well that the woman he was approaching was a married woman!Henry felt a burning sensation in his chest. This was the first time Henry had ever felt jealous. Moreover, the person who was trying to get close to his wife turned out to be an extraordinary person who had an abundance of wealth.It was certainly not acceptable. Henry would come to the Royal Champillon Hotel soon to win back his wife's heart.However, Henry suddenly remembers something: if the young man named Zeke has the power to fully book the Royal Champillon Hotel, doesn't that imply that Zeke has a formidable background? Zeke is definitely not someone that one should cross.[Lily, can you tell me the full name of Zeke? I want to trace his background. Well, you don't have to worry about me, Lily. I will still come and make sure that I can bring my wi
Before proceeding to Chapter 85, you can read the following important points (I have summarized these notes because the novel has been on hiatus for quite some time): • Lily Wilson is going to be betrothed to Zeke, a wealthy young man from Neo City. • Previously, Zeke had visited Katherine Wilson's house and had asked for 'secret information' from Katherine. • Lily Wilson is convinced that Zeke is not sincere, and there is a hidden agenda behind his insistence on getting close to Lily. • Meanwhile, a few days before Lily's meeting with Zeke, Henry was invited to a closed meeting by Oliver Wood at Medium Café, the headquarters of the followers of 'The Great James' – Henry's ancestors. However, is Zeke's plan as simple as Lily suspects?
