The ringing phone made Zachary reach into his pants pocket. He got a call from Naura.
"Zachary, I've been talking to my friend about the contract you should get from that international company." Naura's voice sounded very enthusiastic when Zachary put the cell phone next to his ear. "We can meet him now," Naura spoke again.
Zachary looked happy. He had gotten the contract, but he didn't want to disappoint Naura. Then Zachary spoke, "Alright, I'll pick you up."
After saying that, the phone call was disconnected. Zachary immediately put the cell phone back in his pocket, after which he immediately went to Naura's house.
A few moments later, Zachary had arrived. A beautiful woman was waiting for him in the yard. Naura beautifully decorated her face with formal clothes that made her look even more attractive.
Naura widened her smile. She immediately grabbed Zachary's hand and spoke excitedly. "Zachary, I've been waiting for you. I was so happy when I convinced my friend to help us get the contract that my family wanted. Can we go now?"
"Of course, we'll go now." Zachary took Naura by the hand to walk to his car. He opened the car door, which made Naura feel happy.
They both headed to the international company.
Naura looked at Zachary happily. After she went with Zachary to the manor, Naura knew that Zachary was not an ordinary man. Until now, Naura wanted to show she was also a great woman. No matter, she was constantly humiliated in the past, but now Naura wants to show her ability in front of Zachary.
"Zachary, I didn't expect that I could finally solve this problem quickly. We will soon get that signature and get the blessing to get married." Naura spoke proudly in front of Zachary.
Zachary turned his head and looked at her. "Good job, Naura. You did great." Zachary gave a little compliment that made the beautiful woman beside him happy.
Then she remembered something. "Zachary, did you heard about the news circulated a few days ago?" Naura looked at Zachary.
Zachary saw Naura at a glance without saying anything.
"One of the family members of the four most powerful pillars in this country, Mr. Peter Pierson, while celebrating his seventieth birthday party, was killed by a mysterious masked man." Naura's forehead wrinkled slightly. Reading the news gave her goosebumps.
Zachary looked at Naura. Then he nodded slowly. "Yes, I heard that too."
"I don't know who the person was who dared to do that and what purpose he had in killing Mr. Peter Pierson. Even Mr. Peter is the strongest of the three strongest families." Naura showed a severe face and seemed to be deep into the story.
"Don't think about anything. Perhaps there are some things that many people do not know." Zachary answered her with a calm voice that sounded firm.
By now, they had arrived in front of a large and tall building. Naura immediately took out her cell phone and called her friend back. "Dizon, I'm outside the building. Hurry up and come out. I'm waiting for you."
Inside a room, a man sitting in front of a computer was smiling after getting a call from Naura. "Yes, I'm going out. Come in and wait for me in the lobby." Dizon turned off the phone call.
His lips returned to a smirk as he imagined many people would be frightened when Naura entered the lobby. Or even, she would be kicked out and humiliated there.
"This is going to be an interesting spectacle," Dizon muttered and entered her cell phone.
Dizon wanted to buy some time and allow Naura to be ridiculed outside, but he felt impatient to humiliate that monster-like woman. He was sure that afterward, Naura would go home in tears.
"Who does she think she is that I should help her get that contract?" Dizon got up from the chair and walked out of the room.
When Dizon was in the lobby, he didn't get anything he expected. He did not see an ugly woman or the sound of ridicule from people. Instead, he saw a beautiful woman waving at him. This left Dizon speechless.
Was that beautiful woman Naura?
Dizon swallowed his saliva when the woman walked over and greeted him. "Dizon, we haven't met for a long time. I'm glad that you're finally willing to help me." Nuara spoke with a wide smile.
Naura had envisioned many things after she convinced Dizon to get the contract. Then afterward, she and Zachary would soon get married as they had hoped.
Dizon, the man, was still rounding his eyes. When he walked out, he had thought of many sayings that would be used to insult Naura, but seeing a beautiful woman in a formal dress above the knee made him unable to hold back his lust.
"Naura, you want a signature on that contract? Then you have to pay for it." Dizon spoke without removing her gaze from Naura.
Naura squinted. "Pay?"
"Yes, paying by sleeping with me," Dizon whispered. Of course, he didn't want anyone to hear it.
He remembered that this ugly woman who had turned into a beauty once liked him, but he rejected her.
Naura rounded her eyes. She didn't expect to get such bad treatment from Dizon. "I thought we were still friends, but you mistreated me." Naura looked disappointed. She immediately turned around and thought about leaving, but when she was about to go out, she saw Zachary, who was still waiting for her in front.
Naura stopped her steps. She wanted to marry Zachary so severely that she turned around and thought about convincing Dizon again.
Dizon smiled at Naura, who turned around. He was sure that Naura would agree to his request. "Have you changed your mind, Naura?" Dizon smiled slyly.
Naura shook her head. Of course, she didn't want to spend the night with Dizon. "Please help me to get that contract, Dizon. I'll pay you whatever you want." Naura seduced him, but Dizon refused.
Dizon only wanted Naura's body, and he didn't want any money. "The only thing is, you must spend the night with me," Dizon emphasized.
"I won't do that cheap thing!" Naura rejected him firmly.
At the same time, a woman arrived. She was Lyla, a subordinate of Dizon and one of Naura's friends.
Initially, Dizon told her that Naura would come to ask for help. At first, she also thought that she would humiliate Naura, but seeing Naura, who turned very beautiful, made Lyla very upset. Lyla was also jealous of Naura, who got much attention from the people here.
Lyla looked at Naura sarcastically. She spoke, "Are you going to sell yourself and be shameless, Naura?"
Naura looked at Lyla in disbelief. She thought that Lyla would come and help her, but instead, Lyla was making fun of Naura, and it was the same with Dizon, who was saying bad things to her.
"Why are you talking like that? Of course, I'm not what you think." Naura gave affirmation, but Lyla was sarcastic.
"Just because you've gotten your beauty back, you even came up with seducing Dizon. How embarrassing." Lyla insulted Naura, which made Nuara feel hurt.
Naura's mouth felt stiff. Two people in front of her were insulting her.
Meanwhile, Dizon became upset. He wanted Naura so much that he stared at them sharply. "Never mind, we should immediately go to the hotel and do it in threes. It'll be fun."
Dizon looked confident. He was very sure that Naura would be interested in his offer. He knew that Naura wanted the contract.Meanwhile, Naura looked at Dizon with annoyance. Dizon's words were as if she was demeaning herself. "I want that contract, but something like that will never happen." Naura gave another refusal.Lyla folded her arms with a cynical smile. She knew that Naura was just pretending to reject Dizon. Lyla was also sure that Dizon hated her so much that Dizon only gave bad words to demean Naura."You don't need to pretend. I know this is your main goal. Come and make advances to Dizon to get what you want. How embarrassing." Lyla gave Naura another insult. She was sure that Dizon still hated Naura even though she had become a beautiful woman.Dizon walked closer. He looked at Naura's face from a close distance. But this made Lyla feel jealous. Naura stepped back, giving her some space.Lyla tapped her foot hard. "I know, you're just pretending to refuse because I'm he
After completing the contract, Naura returned to see Zachary. She immediately got into the car and looked at Zachary. "Have you been waiting for me too long, Zack?" She looked at Zachary."But I have good news for you. I have finalized my contract." The beautiful woman showed Zachary a copy of the document she had brought.Zachary looked at her. He had known about the matter, but he gave his answer to Naura. "That was an excellent job, Naura," Zachary replied with a slight smile."Zack, do you know Mr. Jeremy? He talked a bit about you. Did you know each other before?" Naura moved her eyes as she asked Zachary."Yes, I know him. We are friends." Zachary answered her briefly.Naura now nodded in understanding. Previously, she felt surprised when she got a big contract so easily, but after hearing the explanation from Zachary, she knew that it might have been Zachary's intervention.This was enough to make her feel surprised. Then she remembered about the Manor that Zachary lived in.Na
Howard got up, his eyes sharp. He had imagined that the beautiful woman would be his wife. But seeing and hearing that Naura was going to marry that strange man made him feel upset."Naura will not marry anyone other than me," Howard spoke firmly again. He patted his chest firmly.Naura squeezed the hem of her shirt firmly. She looked at the man with a cold gaze. Likewise, Zachary also gave Howard a cold stare.Naura had envisioned getting married to Zachary soon, but she had another obstacle that upset her. Naura didn't know the man, but he had dared to forbid Naura to marry Zachary."Naura, he is Mr. Howard. He is the only son of the Lawson family. You should get to know him first." Leo, who was there spoke.Leo forced Naura and said, "Don't you know if the Lawson family is one of the four giants? He is an extraordinary man." Leo wanted to make Naura feel interested."I don't care. I'm just going to marry Zachary." Naura decided it firmly. She also looked at Leo sharply.Howard didn
The phone call was still going on, and Howard was still frozen in shock after hearing the report from his father. He couldn't believe that all this was happening. This could destroy his family's industry. Prague. Inc. was a huge company, but he had broken the cooperation contract with Pierson Group, which would make many other companies withdraw some of their shares. This was an alarming thing.If that happens, it will affect the Pierson family's wealth. So far, the Pierson family has been known as a mighty giant family."You are so stupid. What have you done? Mr. Jeremy said that you had done such a bad thing that we were stripped of our partnership." Her father shouted back over the phone.Howard was still clutching his cell phone tightly. One hand was clenched into a tight fist. "This can't be, Dad!" Howard rejected the truth."Prague.inc has completely canceled cooperation. We are in grave danger. You-" Suddenly, the voice cut off."Great master? Mr. Big? What happened? Mr. Big is
The Spire of Thunder was one of two family heirlooms that had been passed off as mythological stories. Zachary remembered something about a story he had heard from his grandfather about how they were descendants of Zeus.The spear being talked about was one of Zeus' weapons, although no one believed it. Zachary looked up at Hermes. "Is this serious?" He looked at him sternly. "Zeus, I heard the news. In fact, it's all over the place. And everyone wants it." Hermes gave an explanation. Zachary squeezed the hem of the shirt he was wearing. His eyes looked straight ahead. The words of his grandfather were still vividly remembered. Even on the night of the massacre, when the car exploded, Zachary realized that what his grandfather had said was true if the second heirloom was gone. Zachary touched his chest. He could feel his heart beating rapidly. A stream of blood from Zeus was currently flowing in his body. Hermes looked at the expression on his chairman's face in the mirror befor
Zachary and Naura had arrived at the building where the auction was held. It was a fairly large place. When they arrived, there were already a lot of luxury cars in the courtyard. "Zachary, is this the place? I think there are a lot of people here. Even more than I imagined." Naura muttered. She looked up at Zachary's face and seemed unconfident. Zachary nodded. "Yes, this is the place and don't forget to wear your mask." Zachary gave the eye mask to Naura. Naura accepted it. She immediately put on the mask, likewise with Zachary. Then, they immediately went down and entered the building.Naura continued to hold Zachary's hand. This was her first time coming to a big event like this. When she first stepped into the building, Naura could see everyone present wearing glamorous clothes. She was insecure about being in the middle of such a big crowd, but she tried to calm herself down. She turned to Zachary and pressed her chest. "Zachary, this is my first time coming to an event like
Naura was still staring at Zachary. She felt hesitant to buy the jewellery at such a high price. "Zachary, you shouldn't do this. I admire it, but I don't think I need it." Naura spoke in a soft voice.Her expression looked confused. She hesitated to take the jewellery, but everyone stared at her. "Yes, ten million dollars. Does anyone have a counteroffer?" The host spoke again. He held up the jewellery in front of everyone. A hammer was tapped. He smiled and said, "This jewellery is won for ten million dollars." She made the announcement to everyone. Zachary looked at Naura. "You got it." Naura let out her breath. "Yes, at a very high price." Naura got up from her seat. She picked up the jewellery that she had won. She was very forced to accept it all. Naura sat back in her place. She looked at the diamond necklace, which had a lovely shape. She looked at Zachary. "Do you have money? You've spent a lot of money just for me."Zachary nodded slightly. "Take it easy. I have more th
Zachary and Naura were in a large room. There were many items, including some that Naura had won in an auction today. Several well-dressed people were also with them. And currently, several people were packing the items that had been won."Miss, all the items are ready for immediate transport." A man wearing a neat suit approached Naura and Zachary. "You can deliver them to this address." Zachary gave a paper with the address of his other house. "Okay. We'll deliver all these things, sir. We'll pack them better." The man again spoke obediently. Zachary shook his head. "Not all. You can say those items except for the spear of Thunder barrel." Zachary spoke in a firm voice. Zachary immediately approached and picked up the Spiere of Thunder spear. He grasped it tightly. Even as he held it, he felt satisfied at winning the spear. After all, he wouldn't let anyone else inherit the spear from his ancestors. Naura looked at him. She didn't know why Zachary wouldn't let anyone else touc
