Daisy noticed a sudden shift in her husband's countenance and immediately inferred that Richard was in a rush.‘My…’ she muttered under her breath, ‘I’ve just remember that my wonderful husband is on a mission!’ She cast a fleeting glance at Richard before nodding her head and addressing him in a calm voice."My dear Richard, if your business takes precedence over tonight's gala dinner, don't hesitate to leave. We can always reconvene and invite a thousand guests of gala dinner for the next time." As she spoke, Daisy deliberately shifted her gaze towards Giselle, subtly alluding to the grandiose nature of the event they had planned.Richard, eager to depart, seized the opportunity and turned to Lesley, the manager of Phoenix Hotel. "Miss Lesley, can we book another gala dinner for a thousand guests at your hotel?"Lesley, fully aware of the importance of pleasing their priority customer, lowered her head and responded in a deferential tone, "Mr. Forger, if you wish to hold another gal
Giselle and her friends exchanged uneasy glances, realizing that they had overstepped their boundaries. They had underestimated Daisy's power, and now they were paying the price.In fact, Giselle's social media was invaded by her online friends, all of them were jealous that Giselle had managed to become a selected guest at the gala dinner held by Phoenix Hotel.If being the chosen guest is already a great achievement, isn't the person who organized the event and paid for everything even more remarkable?Daisy Miller and Richard Forger are extraordinary?'But isn't this too impossible to happen?' Giselle took a deep breath before she finally took a step forward and bowed to Lesley."Miss Lesley, I have proof that Daisy Miller is the poorest granddaughter of the Miller family. I can also ask Daisy's cousin for evidence to show that her husband's job is only a cleaning maid at a real-estate company. I mean, what if Daisy and her husband are committing fraud against the Phoenix Hotel?"G
In the car while driving to Ironwoods Casino, Richard remembered the piece of paper he had received some time ago.Luna Swan. That was the name written on the piece of paper that the beautiful girl in the Phoenix Hotel hallway gave to Richard. The girl mentioned Richard King's name more than three times and it really made Richard curious. Most likely, the case referred to by Alexander King was indeed something that Luna Swan might know about.Therefore, when Luna Swan invited Richard to meet at Ironwoods Casino, there was no reason for Richard to refuse. In fact, this was the golden opportunity he got to find out more quickly about what conflicts occurred in South River that made Alexander King intended to drag him back to Manoko."Mr. Forger, we're almost at our destination," Tom Haley reminded Richard, gesturing towards the looming Ironwoods Casino ahead. Richard acknowledged Tom's warning with a nod, but quickly offered a word of caution in return."Tonight, Tom, I'll be your drive
Previously, Luna Swan had whispered to Richard some information that Richard should to know. The first was, Luna Swan is the older sister of the teenage perpetrator of the murder of a tax official in the South River.Luna Swan considered the case against her younger brother to be odd. Her younger brother never had any criminal history and should not have any motive to kill a high-ranking official.Surprisingly, during the trial, all the evidence showed that Luna's brother was indeed the culprit although time and again, Jerry - Luna's brother, also said that he was just framed.One day, in his cell, Jerry tried to commit suicide. Before Jerry died, Luna, who was visiting Jerry in the hospital, heard one name mentioned by Jerry.'The culprit is probably, Richard King...'Hearing that, Luna Swan immediately asked the police to find out about 'Richard King' but the police had closed the case because all the evidence was complete and accountable.'From then on, I struggled to find support
Luna Swan felt both awkward and calm when she realized Richard's hand was now wrapped around her shoulder. The two of them were currently following Bruce Lazar who was leading them to a hidden room inside Ironwoods Casino.In the end, the two had arrived in front of a 'unisex' toilet room that was marked as broken. Seeing Bruce Lazar reach into his pocket for something, Richard guessed that the broken toilet door was the portal to the secret room in question.Richard's guess was right, the three of them one after another entered the narrow cubicle then seemed to walk in a dimly lit hallway until they finally arrived in a room with an area of four by four square meters."Miss Swan, sit there, I'll be right back soon." Bruce Lazar asked Luna Swan to sit on a long sofa in the center of the room.Luna complied, she invited Richard to sit together while Bruce went to another room using a door that also seemed to be camouflaged by the arrangement of furniture in the room.Richard nodded hi
The discussion about Luna Swan's mission was finally over. Bruce Lazar gave a small scroll of paper to Luna and asked her to study it after she left the secret room.When Luna had put the scroll away, Bruce Lazar nodded his head and murmured to Luna, "I guess you can go now, Miss Swan." Bruce Lazar's one hand shot forward, signaling Luna Swan to exit using the door he had pointed.Meanwhile, Luna immediately frowned at Richard who was still sitting casually on the sofa. Richard seemed silent and did not move an inch even though Bruce Lazar had asked Luna to leave."Why are you still there? Forger, let's go out!" Luna invited Richard in a half-whispered voice.In response to Luna's invitation, Richard shrugged while glancing at Bruce. "Luna, Mr. Bruce hasn't given me any instructions yet. Doesn't that mean only you can go out for now?""You?!!!"Luna Swan frowned even more, how could there be a young man who looked so relaxed when dealing with dangerous syndicate members. Luna who was
Tom Haley, of course, had no idea what Richard was talking about as it was outside the scenario they had agreed upon before entering Ironwoods Casino.Fortunately, Tom does have a knack for pretending and making up stories. That is why, when Tom offended Richard at the Phoenix Hotel, Richard chose to punish Tom with unexpected missions like this one. According to Richard, in addition to Tom's extraordinary background, Tom's skill in acting was also worth utilizing to smoothen the mission given to Richard by Alexander King."Hey, who said you could meet Richard King in person?" Bruce Lazar interrupted the conversation between Richard and Tom Haley. He felt that he didn't say anything about 'meeting with Richard King', how could Richard just lightly say that case to Tom Haley."What did you say?!" Tom Haley seemed to give an offended look at Bruce Lazar's. By doing so, it would useful to give an effect of dominance. It signified that Tom Haley felt superior to Bruce Lazar, and has the r
Bruce Lazar's entourage carrying Richard and Tom Haley had arrived on the Corvo island. The island was chosen as the headquarter of the Richard King Syndicate for the past few weeks. Reportedly, the syndicate on behalf of Richard King does have a nomadic base with the aim that their hiding place is difficult to be sniffed out by members of the local intelligence or police.In fact, Corvo Island is more like a wilderness with the edge of the island in the form of towering shrubs. There are no signs of human life if one only looks at the island from a distance.As he stepped onto Corvo Island, Tom Haley glanced at Richard a few times, an uneasiness starting to settle in Tom Haley's heart. He and Richard had been herded into the lion's den without the opportunity to bring any weaponries. If they were later harmed on Corvo Island, wouldn't the two of them be unable to put up any resistance?To calm his heart, Tom Haley stopped walking, making Bruce Lazar who had been walking in the front
