"Isn't Ms. Jasmine supposed to be the one handling this matter? I demand an explanation!" Meanwhile, Sheila’s emerald eyes trembled ever so slightly as she looked at the screen in front of her. ‘It’s Uncle Charles and Aunt Isabella's mansion... Sheila was feeling troubled and she had conflicting thoughts. Should she be angry that someone was auctioning her in-laws' house? And it would be a lie if she wasn’t anxious for her husband, Sett Crossword, to have his relatives sell off his parents’ mansion. Also, it wasn’t simply because the mansion was being auctioned that made Sheila extremely mad, as her face was flustered; there was another reason... and that was that the mansion was dismantled! From the ceiling to the floor, it couldn’t even be called a mansion at this point. It was just a pile of rubbish and debris. It was frustrating to watch. Honestly, if it weren’t for the fountain near the mansion, she wouldn’t even recognize the mansion... It took a while for Sheila to adjust her
The Treasure Palace, auction house venue was filled with stillness and silence, everyone's gaze was directed at a particular man, and to their amazement, it was that man! who had previously gone head to head with the young master Rocco and had even come out on top and bought the real state business of the Bob company. "Brother, do you know that man?" A young man with a rather dull face spoke with interest. He was a young entrepreneur, and it was his job to build connections with powerful individuals. That's the reason he was full of curiosity toward Sett. "No… idea." The senior of the young entrepreneurs shook his head before proceeding. "But I do know that lady beside him. She is Sheila Laurel. She’s the young lady of the Laurel family." The young entrepreneur pondered before his eyes lit up. "Oh you mean, the twin sisters that were recently kicked out of their family?" The fervently discussing crowd quickly shifted toward Sheila, who was beside Sett; after all, they didn't kno
On the stage, Ms. Jasmine was so angry that it made her face flush. On top of that, this self-titled retard was questioning her about "meaning." It was unbelievable!Did this Ratherford young master intend to continue telling lies? Or rather, did he throw his brain into a blender? Ms. Jasmine furiously thought to herself."I should be the one asking you, young master Rocco, why are you deliberately increasing the price? For a second time, do I need to remind you who the seller is?" Ms. Jasmine spoke with a clear conviction in her voice. "Aren't you afraid of people gossiping behind your back?"Ms. Jasmine wasn't an average woman that would easily bend to bribes...Everything was overturned by Ms. Jasmine's statement...At that moment, a man in formal attire had a deep frown on his countenance. He mumbled. "Increasing the price?"A man from a respectable background was displaying a doubtful face, as he stated. "Is Ms. Jasmine implying that young master Rocco is the seller but somehow
Ms. Jasmine could still recall when he was having a conversation with the private detective that his father had personally hired to find out where Sett Crossword had gotten his hand on that precious jewelry. Nonetheless, not everything goes as planned."Ms. Jasmine, we haven't found anything on Sett Crossword besides him being a member of the Crossword family...." The private detective felt ashamed of himself for his failure, for not being able to dig up any information about who Sett Crossword really is!"There is no record of him at all."Sett's being a member of the Crossword family was a given, and that's not what she and her father were after, but the fact of how he got his hands on those "items," the blue diamonds, and their hidden value.Suddenly, Ms. Jasmine's reminiscence of that time was cut short as she heard her name being mentioned."Ms. Jasmine? Are you alright?""Ah, yes, I'm alright... Sorry about that." Ms. Jasmine's face was slightly red, feeling embarrassed."It's
At this time, where the busy guests of the auction house were either collecting their legal documents after winning their bids or they were retreating toward the exit, young master Rocco could be seen with his men; he was scowling after one of his subordinates didn't appear, which was irritating. Well, not exactly a subordinate, as Glenn wouldn't listen to his command. It was really infuriating on his part.Just then, one of young master Rocco's subordinates spoke with a hushed voice."Young Master, I don't trust that guy. Also, there are rumors about him r*ping the daughter of his client the night before her celebration....." Before he could even finish, Young Master Rocco snapped at him. "Shut up! That's none of your f*cking business. You hear me, boy?""Y-Yes, sir...""Good that you understand..... Now that you mention it, where did that sly bastard go?" Young master Rocco scratched his head while looking around for Glenn. He was baffled as to what that punk was doing."Never min
In the back alley, Sett studied his surroundings while glancing from time to time at the dark corner.After finishing that, Sett returns his gaze to his foe and even examines them from head to toe. These guys wearing professional apparel of a back tuxedo, that one would see in movies. Sett couldn't help but chuckle coldly; this bunch of clowns indeed came in numbers. Was he really that important to them? This fellow should cut him some slack!Nothing less, there was a guy who stood out among the other men in black. Sett narrowed his eyes at that person. The person was none other than Glenn.'Hmm? Isn't he the one with that scumbag Rocco?' He kept his thoughts in the back of his head while letting out a whiff of air to cool his head. Earlier, he had sensed an overwhelming presence, so it was from him. There's no mistaking it."This is troubling...." Sett mumbled as he locked his gaze on Glenn; he was the perfect package. He was tall and had the looks to rival any male model, and hid
"I'm the only one you want dead, right? Why don't we settle it in an honorable way? You and I, how about it?" Sett gritted his teeth, and when he shouted about a challenge against Glenn, Sett didn't forget to glare daggers at Glenn, who was mocking him. However, what Sett didn't expect was when Glenn let out a mocking face, and that's when he turned dead serious. "You see, I prefer to do things my way." Hearing that Sett's expression turn dark for almost an instant, as he understood what he meant. The men in ebony tuxedos start to signal at each other as they came closer to Sett limiting his movements. Using numbers to defeat him? What a cheap bastard! Was he even a man? Sett thought while feeling annoyed. The fight broke out. At first, Sett had the initiative in the fight, managing to land a few solid hits on his opponents; however, it quickly boiled down to quantity. If they were merely three to four athletes, Sett could fight them. Unlucky for them, they were all professional at
Ever since that day at the casino, Ms. Scarlett has considered the smart little girl Natasha as family. Ms. Scarlett could somehow relate to the little girl's situation; at some point in Ms. Scarlett's life, it was f*cked up. Regardless, Ms. Scarlett wouldn't want others' lives messed up as well, especially a young child.Although the little girl Natasha was somewhat afraid of the outside world, particularly when she was abducted, that changed after meeting Ms. Scarlett, who was kind to her. Natasha was willing to open up her heart once again. Also, she was an obedient little girl, which was a plus!At this moment, Ms. Scarlett was narrowing her eyes at the individual that was suspiciously walking at a fast pace toward Sheila. At first, Ms. Scarlett was contemplating whether she should act or not. But when she looked at the screen of her phone, she then lifted her head toward the clueless Sheila, who seemed to be waiting for someone. Ms. Scarlett's face turned sour for a moment befo
