A moment later, the man from the Everett family picked up a glass of red wine, stood up from his chair, and walked towards Aurora, saying, “Miss Aurora, let’s have a toast!”“A toast? Why should I toast with you?” Aurora retorted sharply.Hearing the unpleasant response, the man’s heart began to feel irritated. “Miss Aurora, don’t you think you’re the oldest woman in the Skyler family since you returned there?”“Now Wilona has spent a fortune to buy Monolith Group, and she’s now the big boss there. Because of your mistake, the Skyler Group lost this opportunity. Do you think Mr. Alexander will forgive you? I doubt it. It won’t be long before you’re kicked out by him.”Hearing this taunt, Aurora only gave a slight smile and was unwilling to respond.The man continued, “Wilona is very favored by Mr. Alexander. Along with her successful acquisition of Monolith Group, she’s now earned the title of the number one businesswoman in Ligos city.”“Miss Aurora, I suggest you fully understand th
Since the first time he met Wilona, Richard always wore a skin mask to disguise himself. But today, he wasn’t wearing it at all.So, when Wilona reached out to grab Richard’s hand, she was utterly shocked and embarrassed. In her heart, Wilona thought, “Why is there someone with a figure so similar to his? Ah... it’s just making me feel embarrassed!” Wilona was currently standing a few meters behind Richard, continuously observing his back and posture. The more she looked, the more convinced she became that it was indeed the great boss himself. “From behind, he looks so much like him, but why does he look different from the front? The great boss must not have arrived yet.” “Aurora, don’t think you can escape from here! I’m engaged to Reginald Dwayne now, and I’m going to take the great boss away from you. This time, I’ll make you look utterly cheap.”“A strong and powerful man is only worthy of me, Wilona Skyler!” Wilona muttered to herself confidently. She believed that the great
Richard stepped forward with clenched fists. The moment he looked into the open room, his emotions erupted.He saw Aurora, who looked confused and terrified. The top button of her blouse was torn, exposing her enchanting collarbone, along with her beautiful necklace.Meanwhile, the people with malicious intent toward her were writhing on the floor, screaming in pain. They clawed at their bodies with their own nails until they bled profusely. The white marble floor was soon covered in blood.“Richard!”“Is that really you? You’re not wearing a mask? Richard!”Aurora suddenly realized Richard’s presence. She looked at her boyfriend with his real face and immediately recalled the face she had seen near the elevator earlier.Realizing her mistake, she rushed forward and threw herself into Richard’s arms.“Calm down, calm! You’re safe now!” Richard said softly as he gently stroked Aurora’s head.“By the way, what happened to them?” Richard asked.Aurora was still confused. Struggling to ex
The man had a large lion head tattoo on his right neck. His men also had tattoos, but none were as big as his. Now, he and his men rushed into the room, unable to stop themselves from being shocked by what they saw. Despite their large physiques and fearsome faces, the sight before them filled them with immense horror.“Oh my God!”The tattooed man approached one of the poisoned individuals. He stared intently at the person and exclaimed, “That’s right! Yes, that’s it! I’m 100% sure this is the poison. This is not a poison you can get in Rio Dio Country.”“Who poisoned them? Step forward!” said the foreigner in a harsh voice.Aurora instinctively took a step back. She was so frightened that her palms were sweaty. Richard quickly held Aurora’s hand, pulling the weight of the situation onto himself. “Don’t be afraid! I’m here!” Richard whispered to her.“I’m the one who gave them the poison! Why?” Richard said this without a hint of fear. He was trying to protect Aurora.The foreigner’
“What are you looking at?” Richard asked curiously.Aurora took a deep breath and looked into Richard’s eyes with uncertainty. “I saw a person whose face looks just like yours,” Aurora said, then corrected herself, “His face is exactly like the skin mask you usually wear.”Richard was shocked and replied, “What did you say? There’s someone with a face exactly like that mask? Are you sure?”“Yes!” Aurora said, nodding, then she stated firmly, “I’m absolutely sure! I swear!”“When I saw him, he was hugging two women. We were a bit far apart, but your body shapes were similar. I even thought it was you...”This was all because of Roderick. Right now, all the important people were gathering in Ligos city. Among them were people from Vandrelis. The skin mask belonged to Elena Ysabel; he had received it from a doctor from Vandrelis Country.So...Could this skin mask have been reproduced again? Or is it possible that there’s someone who was born as if wearing a skin mask?“Richard.”“Eh?
The pain on her face was overshadowed by a sense of satisfaction at having successfully made Aurora angry and sad.“Aurora!” Wilona said, raising her head proudly while trying to bear the pain on her face. She wanted to embarrass Aurora once again, especially in front of the big man beside her.“Why did you hit me? Are you so ashamed that you got angry? Weren’t you supposed to call us last night if you weren’t happy? You must have enjoyed last night so much that you forgot about the big man next to me.”“Five or six young masters yesterday, right? You were made to feel satisfied over and over again, weren’t you?”“So, what’s making you angry? Is it because I slept with the big man?”“You clearly chose Reginald Dwayne, and you’re going to get engaged to him, but you’re still flirting with other people everywhere! You’re truly disgusting and more shameless than anyone else.”Seeing Wilona like that, Aurora didn’t know whether to be angry or feel sympathy. Aurora glanced back at the big
Seeing the trade chamber boss arrive, Wilona lifted her head arrogantly while looking at Richard and Aurora.“You two, look!”“The trade chamber boss is here to greet us personally. Sorry... you’re just like trash, not on our level,” Wilona said with pride and a mocking gesture.Hearing this, Richard smiled lightly and replied, “Are you sure? What if that boss comes out to greet me?”Upon hearing Richard’s embarrassing brag, Wilona laughed loudly. “Hahaha... What are you saying? The trade chamber boss is coming to pick you up? That’s a divine-class joke.”“You really are something else. In a situation like this, you can still boast like that. You truly have no shame!” Wilona continued to insult and belittle him.Richard looked relaxed, but Aurora felt like slapping Wilona’s face for the third time.At this moment, the trade chamber boss noticed Richard’s presence. He felt very pleased and immediately walked toward Richard with an admiring smile.As the boss was about to greet Richard,
“What are you going to uncover?” Richard leaned against the wall behind him. The man flashed a knowing grin and asked Eno, “Wasn’t he just enjoying the feeling of being a boss?”“Let him enjoy it a little longer. Soon enough, he won’t have the chance to enjoy it again.”Eno involuntarily shuddered as he saw the smirk on Richard’s face, especially with the expression that seemed to suggest he was plotting something.When Eno was in prison, he once thought Richard was an impudent man with power but no brains. He also contemplated how to escape Richard’s control once he got out of prison. Fortunately, he hadn’t gone through with it.But now, it seemed Richard was not that simple.“Richard!”Suddenly, a shout filled with hatred echoed from the center of the room. Richard looked towards the source of the voice, and his eyes immediately caught sight of Reginald, who was grinning sarcastically.“It really is you. This world is so small, Richard. I never expected to run into you here!”Regina
