At this moment, Selena's hair was disheveled while the slap mark on her face was on full display. She tried to hide it but the stinging pain on her cheeks prevented her from doing that. "Y-You.." Selena stuttered as her tears threatened to fall. On top of that, Sheila's words to her were like a punch in her stomach. For a split second, Sheila's eyes showed sympathy for Selena, his cousin; after all, blood is thicker than water, but then she shook her head as her gaze turned icy cold as she recalled how cruel her cousin Selena and her parents were to her. Also, who cares if she was kicked out of the Laurel family? And his father was a failed businessman? That doesn't mean they can point fingers at her and judge her! Sheila had numerous problems at hand, and these two self-entitled a*sholes manage to add up in it! She had enough of their scornful words and being looked down upon! If these two were twice as smart, they'd still be stupid! Likewise, there was a problem with their ugl
Sett could be seen trying to sleep, with his bloodshot eyes, as he kept fidgeting on the couch like a bothered ghost while covering his ears with pillows from the hard music being played by his neighbor while partying.Needless to say, Sett's effort to cover his ears didn't help either, though he was feeling that he should do something to stop the sound that kept bashing his eardrums."Brother, I can't sleep." Nini had gone down the stairs while rubbing her eyes as she did so in the complaint. Nini's words were the last straw that broke the camels' back!"Don't worry, Nini; I'll be right outside. Just wait here, Nini." Sett gently said, doing his best to assure his little sister that he would handle this matter, otherwise he too would explode in a rage. He was already dead tired.On top of that, it wasn't long since he had moved into this apartment and some idiot was having a party at a time like this! Supposedly, he was expecting a comfortable sleep..."Thanks, brother and be careful
"Hmm?" The young man full of pockmarks on his cheeks raised his brows while rudely scanning Sett up and down, judging him based on his looks and the way he dressed. 'Who the **** is this guy? With the way he dressed, this dude is nothing impressive!' The pockmarked young man thought to himself as he couldn't help but smirk, but then something clicked in his head."Oh, you must be my new neighbor. You've just moved to that rundown apartment, right?"When Sett came to the realization that he was facing a notoriously fickle-minded person, his lips twitched in irritation. Also, calling his new place "rundown," isn't that a downright slap to his face? Sett shook his head, but at least this fellow still had some common sense in him and was not completely retarded.."Yes, I just moved here the other day...""No, no, I'm not asking that. What I'm trying to say is, we're partying here and being loud..." The pockmarked young man rudely interrupted Sett's words as he spoke arrogantly. "What do
Early in the morning, Sett woke up feeling revitalized. His sleep was perfect; it felt good as the morning glory of the sun shone on his face. He stretched out his hand. Suddenly, he heard the doorbell ring, pulling him out of his daydream. His left eye twitched in annoyance. At that juncture, Sett opened the door, and he was startled to discover who the dude was. "D*mn, you're giving me a heart attack!" Sett snapped at Kent, who was standing in front of his door. "Why are you here and what the h*ck do you want?" Sett raised his sword-like brows as he spoke, and he didn't want to beat around the bush as he got straight to the point. Who in their right mind wouldn't be startled to see their ignoramus neighbor? And on top of that, they had a conflict yesterday. Just as Sett was about to interrogate Kent, aiming to find out what this Kent dude was up to, he heard him say something unbelievable. "I-I'm sorry..." His voice sounded more like a mosquito. Huh? What the... At this junc
At the prestigious hospital, the nurse that was in charge of the private medical ward was surprised to find it was deemed to be an ordinary visit from the lady who had introduced herself as Madam Scarlett.Their patient Charles Crossword, who was supposed to be in a coma, had shockingly spoken her name with such familiarity in response to her arrival... But what was baffling to see was how calm Ms. Scarlett was, as though she had already expected that Charles would respond to her arrival. "Little Jane... You're as beautiful as your mother." At this time, Charles Crossword turns her face toward Ms. Scarlett's direction with his blurry eyes. "How is your mother?""Dead.""I see..." Charles's expression turn lonely as Ms. Scarlett's mother was an influential woman, he was one of her admirers but he knows that a lady like her, had no chance of being with her... Hearing his daughter say that she was dead filled his heart with sadness. "It must have been hard on you, little Jane. I'm sorry.
Sett looked a bit confused at Sheila, who for some reason was gazing at him with a worried expression.'Huh? Why is my face wet?' Sett was baffled, but then he sensed coldness on his left cheeks, so he subconsciously touched his left cheek and that's when it hit him..."I'm crying. How come?" Sett let out a blank expression.Indeed, Sett was crying... They were saying that the rain was because the beautiful clouds could no longer handle the humidity and just like tears, they fall because the heart can no longer hold the pain."Spokesman, Mr. Crow, what's the matter?" Sheila couldn't understand what had goten into him that would cause the spokesperson to abruptly shade tears.Moments ago, when they had just entered the train, Mr. Crow, the spokesperson, was okay. He was pretty spirited, yet in the blink of an eye, he would suddenly cry with a blank look on his face. It was startling!"I'm alright.." Sett mumbles in reply, then lifts his head and gazes warmly and gently at his wife, Shei
At the Treasure Palace entrance, a security guard could be seen using his large frame to bar Sett and Sheila from further entry. This resulted in a handful of the onlookers raising their brows at the security guard. However, apart from the onlookers shaking their heads, they walked away. To them, it wasn't their problem, so who cares if Sett and Sheila were being stopped?"Sir, why can't we enter? Is there a problem?" Sheila inquired, but when she was saying that her tone wasn't as usual, obviously she was keeping her anger in check.On the other hand, Sett could understand why his wife, Sheila, was using that tone. Naturally, it was because they were the only ones being blocked! Clearly, the other guests who came here didn't even have any kind of entrance invitation or anything of that sort.... If this isn't intentional, then what?However, the next words of the security guard made it all clear."Ma'am, you'll have to pass through our scanner if you want to enter as we suspect you are
Sheila couldn't help but be amazed as her eyes continued to scan the Treasure Palace auction house. Sheila paid more attention to the details than Sett did, even though the place was very beautiful and mesmerizing. It truly deserves to be known as the best auction house in Darian City! The other establishment couldn’t even hold a candle when comparing its interior. The artisan to make the auction house and its entirety must be really famous. "Beautiful..." Sheila mumbled, completely ignoring Sett, who was clicking his tongue as he watched the few floors that had private rooms. Obviously, only those with high status or those who came from wealthy family backgrounds had the right to enter those private rooms; otherwise, they would be thrown outside. There was no exception for the poor. Just then, Sett heard Sheila mumbling. "It reminds me that there was an interesting history of the auction house, where the whole nation was being auctioned off after the Emperor was killed...." Hear
