As Balaro spoke, a large black butterfly appeared in the suite and landed on the back of his hand."You're here!"The black butterfly gently flapped its wings before landing on the painting in Balaro's hand. Bolero smiled as he saw the butterfly, his expression full of joy.Despite the excellent soundproofing in the suite, the people living next door—Ayo, Shuten, and Yondu, who had just awoken—could hear Balaro's laughter.The laughter shocked them, and they went completely silent.Ayo was taken aback and silently reminded herself to be extra respectful the next time she saw Matilda.The night passed without incident, and morning arrived.Chad awoke from his meditation and exhaled deeply.Feeling refreshed, he glanced at the Diagram of the Golden Crow in front of him. At that moment, he felt like he had been enlightened.The so-called Clairvoyant Eye enabled individuals to see things that ordinary people could not.In the Clairvoyant Eye's world, everything emitted different
Just as Marilyn was wondering why Ayo was there, she saw Matilda and Ayo exit the elevator."Thank you, Ms. Kato, for your kind invitation. I'll be there tonight."Marilyn wore a mask and sunglasses, and she watched from a distance. She waited for Ayo to leave before catching up with Matilda."Matilda, why was she here?"Matilda turned to Marilyn and said distractedly, "She was asked to come on someone's behalf. She said Mr. Yamamoto invited me to a banquet. I'm no longer the president of Bellenuite, but she remembers me. She's quite thoughtful."Marilyn handed Matilda the lunchbox and said, "Here, Chad asked me to bring this to you."Matilda took the lunchbox and smiled. "How's he doing?"Marilyn responded without thinking, "He's... He has Suri, Yara, and Ivy. Fifi from Treasure Trove is also there. He must be feeling great with all those beauties around him."Marilyn realized she had misspoken and immediately shut up.Matilda came to a halt, and jealousy rose within her. Her
"Yes! We're already divorced. It's my fault. I shouldn't have come here to disturb you!"Matilda's eyes turned red as her voice choked. She then turned around and quickly walked away from Treasure Trove.Soon after, the roar of a car echoed down the street as Matilda drove away.She departed as quickly as she arrived. Tears blurred Matilda's vision as she came close to hitting pedestrians several times.She did not even know how she got home. She wanted to tear up the paper that contained the prescriptions and methods.Matilda considered a possibility—perhaps Chad did not leave it.So Matilda looked to where she found the paper, and there was some information that Nathan had given her a long time ago.Nathan probably sent it to her after she divorced Chad when he learned that Matilda wanted to work in the medical industry, and Matilda might have simply left it there."I thought it was from you, but it was actually from Nathan. Chad, you have disappointed me so much!"Matilda l
"Dr. Jennings, please take a look at my son. Tell me what's wrong with him." Chad did not look at the child and instead turned to the caretaker, Mrs. Dunning. She was in her 50s, thin, and emitted a faint bluish-gray aura.So Chad asked, "Where's the child's mother?"Martin looked embarrassed. He said, "Forgive me, Dr. Jennings, but the child's mother is actually my girlfriend. I couldn't marry her due to her status, so I bought this villa for her. She gave birth to my son not long after that."Even though my family has been introducing me to many wealthy heiresses over the years, I've remained faithful to her."But lately, we've been arguing more and more, and two months ago, after a quarrel, she left without a word. Since then, my child has been getting sicker. Even though we've seen many doctors, his condition has continued to worsen. And…"As Martin spoke, the child lying on the sofa let out a nearly beast-like roar. The child then got down on all fours, clutching the couch wi
The caretaker let out a strange laugh that sounded like a toad's croak. The skin on her body peeled off like an orange peel, revealing a hideous and aged face beneath."I see that you've recognized me as a Corpse Tailor. That means you're no ordinary person!"Martin screamed in terror, questioning the monster in front of him, "Who are you? Where's my girlfriend and my child?"Chad said coldly, "Can't you see it yet? This is the retaliation of the Saffronesians against the Conrad family. Your woman and son have long been dead!""What?!" Martin finally understood why Chad brought up the incident of the family preventing the Saffronesian Corporation from settling in Summer six months ago, "But this is Hacniane! How dare they—"Martin was almost out of his mind, roaring as he charged toward the monster in front of him, but Chad stopped him.The monster cackled as it took a few steps back, returning to the direction where Chad had previously seen the dense black light."Let me formal
Chad looked at the lifelike doll in front of him, then turned to Martin and said, "That's them."Martin knelt on the ground in shock. At that moment, he was utterly overcome with sadness. He could not even cry because he felt suffocated.Martin was well-known in business circles as a playboy, so who could have predicted that he would be so devoted?Who would have thought that all of his actions were just a carefully crafted persona?Neighbors who heard the gunshots reported it to police, and officers arrived shortly.When Liam saw Chad, he asked for a detailed account of what had occurred and examined the angel doll in the utility room.After a thorough examination, they discovered a female skeleton inside the doll and a child's skeleton inside the smaller one. Skinning, dismemberment, and deboning were punishments reserved only for the most wicked.Martin could not believe what had happened to his loved ones. Meanwhile, police officers discovered several bags of frozen minced m
When she heard Nathan's name, Matilda looked at the paper in her hand and revised her opinion of him."Really? That's great! How much do you want to invest?"After a brief silence, Martin said, "Matilda, I'll invest any amount you need and whenever you need it. You have my support."Matilda was surprised. After Jojo's betrayal, she knew no one would be nice to anyone without ulterior notice. Their kindness would always come with ulterior motives.So, Matilda asked, "What are your conditions? Do you need me to do something or give you something in return?"Matilda tightened her collar, knowing men usually only wanted a few things.However, Martin said something unexpected, "My condition is that regardless of how successful your company becomes, I must own at least five percent of the shares."It was a strange condition. It was as if Martin was confident that Matilda's new venture would succeed. So, Matilda asked, "Is that all?"Martin remained silent for a moment before saying,
However, when Matilda saw the contract's effective date, she decided to attend the banquet after all.As night fell, around seven p.m., an extremely luxurious top-tier luxury vehicle arrived downstairs.Ayo stood in front of the car, greeting Matilda and even opening the door for her.When Matilda arrived at Cloud Nine Tower, she was led to the banquet hall and seated in the VIP section."Please wait a moment, Ms. Sachs. After the banquet begins, Mr. Yamamoto will sit next to you. Mr. Yamamoto personally selected you as the banquet's most honored female guest. Please call me if you have any questions. I'll be downstairs for now."With that, Ayo left, leaving Matilda concerned about the amount of attention she was receiving. She wondered why Mr. Yamamoto seemed to value her so much.Suddenly, she remembered the Cloud Nine Tower, which belonged to the Long family. Was it because of Nathan?Looking around the luxurious banquet hall, Matilda realized that her seat allowed her to see
