"Ahhh!!!"Charmaine screamed again.Fortunately, the soundproofing in her room was impeccable. No matter how loudly she shouted from inside, no one outside could hear her.Otherwise, if the people outside saw her like this, she would be even more embarrassed.Seth grabbed a long black dress from the closet and helped her put it on.Because he had no experience, he fumbled around, causing Charmaine to scream again.When she was finally dressed, Seth picked her up with one hand and carried her to the bathroom.Charmaine's eyes were filled with fear as she screamed even louder, "No, please don't…"Splash cough urgh…Seth turned on the faucet, and the cold water washed over her head, making her swallow the rest of her words.Charmaine stopped screaming after a minute or two under the water.Seth said mildly, "Have you calmed down yet?"Charmaine raised her head. There was still hatred in her eyes, but she was no longer mad with rage. Her tone was cold. "What exactly do you want
When she arrived at the surveillance room, she immediately ordered the guards to replay the past hour's security footage.After watching the whole thing, Charmaine decisively commanded someone to check the equipment.However, all the equipment was intact. A chill ran up her spine.She could not accept this."How did he get in so stealthily? Can he really turn invisible?"Charmaine took a deep breath and asked everyone to do a thorough inspection of the entire villa.They still found nothing.Charmaine could not sit still anymore. She immediately left the villa with a group of her trusted aides under the cover of the night.She was truly afraid.Her entire surveillance system could not uncover how Seth had come and gone.That meant Seth could come and go as he pleased.What if Seth suddenly crawled into her bed and did something to her when she was sleeping soundly at night…?Charmaine shuddered at the thought and immediately asked her driver to speed up.In any case, she
Charmaine was the only one in the restaurant.She did not like people watching her while she ate.Meanwhile, she focused intently on various tasks, completely unaware of the man sitting across from her.Charmaine finished the bread in her hand, then reached into the plate for more. Her eyes were still fixed on her computer. However, she managed to grab at nothing.Frowning slightly, she looked up and felt a chill run down her spine. She nearly jumped out of her seat.Across the table, Seth was munching on a piece of bread while smiling at her.“Morning.”Charmaine’s heart raced, and her face turned pale for a moment.She opened her mouth, perhaps wanting to scream, yet she could not.Seth’s presence had overwhelmed her.If she did anything unusual, she would undoubtedly face severe repercussions.She forced a smile that looked more like a grimace before saying, “Morning.”Seth finished his bread, his smile unchanged. “Let’s do the transfer. You haven’t forgotten about las
Her emotions were even more heightened than the previous night.“Truly a wild spirit!”Seth snorted coldly. He moved quickly and repeatedly slapped her in the same spot five or six times.“Miss!”The bodyguards outside heard the commotion and rushed in.What they saw left them stunned.In their eyes, the pure and untouched Charmaine was now roughly pinned to a table by a man. “Let her go!”“You’re courting death!”…The bodyguards were visibly enraged, their voices full of fury as they advanced.“Back off!”Seth bellowed, using the renowned Lion’s Roar technique.Visible sound waves radiated in all directions.The bodyguards felt like their heads were spinning, and before they could get close, they collapsed while foaming at the mouth.Seth continued his assault The sharp and clear sound of his actions echoed in the room.Shame!Anger!Helplessness!Despair! A myriad of emotions surged within Charmaine.Her lip was nearly bleeding from her biting down on it.W
“That guy was quite bold last night!”Jade only heard about Seth’s doing in the morning.Her secretary, Yulia, was reporting next to her. She replied, “Yes, he even had the guts to confront Roman and kill his most trusted subordinate. Now, he’s probably being hunted down throughout the city.”Resting her cheek in her hand, Jade visualized Seth’s handsome face and turned pale. “Crap. What will I do if he’s killed?”“Don’t worry, I won’t die.”An abrupt voice echoed in the room, startling both women.Seth had appeared as if out of thin air. Both women stared in shock.Jade looked as if she had seen a ghost. “You’re still alive?!”Seth smiled, asking, “Is that so surprising?”After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself, Jade responded, “It is impressive. You actually managed to escape from the Jacques family.”Seth pulled off the mask from his face, crushed it, and threw it in the trash. Standing up, he said, “Come on, I’ll perform dry needling on you.”Jade got up and
As he passed by Jade’s room, the door happened to be open.Then, he saw Jade and her secretary walking out, one behind the other.Oddly enough, both of their faces were flushed.Seth asked, “What happened to you two?”Jade looked as flustered as a thief caught red-handed.The secretary appeared more composed. She coughed and said, “It’s nothing, just girl stuff. You shouldn’t pry.”Not dwelling on it, Seth informed Jade, “I need to go out for a bit.”After saying that, he put on a new mask.This time, it resembled a middle-aged man.He also had one prepared for Lucy.“Go, go, go, hurry up.”Jade said, waving her hand. After having done something unspeakable and then accidentally running into Seth, she felt very flustered.Seth continued, “I’m bringing Lucy, Alaska’s mother, to stay over. Is that alright?”“It’s fine.”Before leaving, Seth gave her a curious glance.Once he had left, Jade heaved a sigh of relief. She then shot her secretary a look. “You can’t do that agai
When the burly man saw Seth, who was seemingly unimpressive and slender, interfering in his business, he became furious. “Trash, is this any of your business?”With a cold expression, Seth replied, “I’ll say it one more time, get lost!”The burly man immediately swung his massive fist toward Seth’s face.“I’ll finish you up, trash!”“No, stop!”A scream came from the young girl behind Seth.People on the bus averted their gaze, not bearing to watch.In their eyes, the relatively slender Seth stood no chance against the burly man.A scream rang out, but it was not from Seth. It came from the burly man.Everyone looked up in surprise.Before them, Seth had the burly man pinned underfoot. He was screaming in pain.Whispers of shock spread throughout the bus, and the young girl’s eyes shone with astonishment.Seth glared at the man. “You’re a disgrace to men. Have you realized your mistake?”The burly man’s face turned beet red as he roared. “Who do you think you are? Do you e
Inside a dormitory at Imperial City’s university, Shirley Shrill opened the door to find that all her roommates had gone to eat, leaving her alone.She placed her belongings on her bed and turned on her second-hand computer that she had bought for 50 dollars.She adeptly logged into a stock trading software.On it, several stocks were highlighted in green.She had been following these stocks for years but never had the money to invest.Shirley clicked on the top stock and began typing rapidly.To outsiders, she might appear clueless, but at that moment, her eyes sparkled with determination. It completely transformed her demeanor.If she changed her attire, she would have looked every bit the powerful businesswoman.After a series of operations, she muttered to herself, “This stock is at its lowest point now. If I invest now, its value could increase tenfold within a week!”Without hesitation, she invested the two grand that Seth had transferred to her....Seth pushed open t
