Louis took the cash and carefully counted the bills. He felt satisfied after he counted them.He had vented his anger at his nephew’s situation because his nephew usually gave him a lot of benefits, and this woman had just given him benefits that would last a few months.Adina stared at the changes in Louis’ expression, and she knew that this person was greedy for money.She nudged Flint in the arm. Then, Flint took out his wallet from his suit pocket and presented him with another stack of cash. It was twice as much as earlier.Adina smiled and said, “I heard that you’re Terry North’s bodyguard, Mr. Louis. If there’s an opportunity, we’d like you to introduce us to him.”“No problem. It’s a piece of cake.”Louis stood on his toes and snatched the cash from Flint’s hand. He licked his index finger a little before he counted the bills one by one.Flint smiled faintly. “Can we go in now?”Louis hid the money in the pocket of his undershirt before he cleared his throat and said, “
“Someone asked you to pass a message just now, and she said that she wants to be Terry North’s mistress?” Isabelle fiddled with her long red nails. “Say, how much money did the woman give you?”“No… No.” Louis’ head was instantly full of sweat again. “She was really beautiful, so I became a little soft-hearted and helped her convey the message.”Isabelle sneered.She took out a card from her purse and handed it over. “There’s $100,000 in here, which is worth several years of your income. Once you accept this money, don’t ever introduce any questionable women to Terry North again. Also, inform all the guards in your security team that no one is allowed to help any woman.”Louis was stunned. “You… You mean…” “Terry North is mine. Whoever stands up against me opposes my father.” Isabelle smiled faintly and said, “If you dare to take this money without doing anything, I’ll get my father to pull out your fingernails one by one and throw you into the sea to feed the fishes.”After she
Adina instantly stopped walking.Her gaze flickered, and she cast her sights on Isabelle.It turned out that this woman was Terry North’s fiancee. No wonder she was so hostile toward her yesterday.If she turned around and left now, it might make Isabelle suspect her purpose more.She smiled faintly, raised her hand, and moved Louis away. “I know Ms. Isabelle as well. Please move aside,” she calmly said.Louis just felt a huge force push him away.While he wondered how a woman could have such strength, Adina walked up to Terry North and Isabelle.A strong uneasiness rose in Isabelle’s heart.This woman had mentioned that she was married yesterday, but it was also possible to still acquaint herself with other men even though she was married.Besides, yesterday, Isabelle had falsely claimed that the tea from this woman was a Cairnstanian’s specialty that her father found everywhere. If this woman exposed her lie, how could she face Terry North?Thinking of that, Isabelle immedi
“I’ll be fine.”Adina gave Flint a reassuring smile.Then, the meeting room door was closed.Flint appeared extremely downcast. He touched his pocket and took out a cigarette.“Ha!” Isabelle sneered and walked over. “Your wife’s alone in a room with a man, and you’re fine with it?”“Don’t even bother.” Flint stared at her coldly. “You better keep an eye on your own fiance.”For some reason, he had always sensed something strange about Terry North’s gaze whenever he looked at Addy.Terry North was the leader in the area. If he really had an inappropriate interest in Addy, Flint did not know what he should do.Flint’s hand shook as he held his lighter, and he could not light up the cigarette for a long time.Isabelle scoffed again. “Only a lousy man would let his wife go to get more benefits. What a disgrace.”Flint could not be bothered by what Isabelle said. He breathed in some smoke while he focused on listening to the sounds inside the meeting room. But the sound insulation
Terry North looked at the woman who had a bright smile, and he became slightly absentminded.Her smile, voice, and behavior always gave him a very familiar feeling for some reason.He could not help but extend his arm.Alarmed, Adina leaned back, but the man still managed to hook a strand of her hair.Terry North looked at the black hair in his palm in a daze, and his nose smelled a recognizable long-lost fragrance.“Mr. Terry North, what are you doing?”Adina’s voice was cold, which pulled the distracted man back to reality.“I’m sorry.” Terry North let go of her hair.Countless emotions flashed across his face, and he pursed his thin lips tightly, but the golden mask covered all of it.To Adina, he still looked cold. He was dangerous and mysterious.“Mr. Terry North, if you’re not willing to work with me, I’ll step out first,” she said with displeasure.She stood up and turned around to go out.Adina could give anything, but that did not mean she would sacrifice herself
He also felt sad all of a sudden, even though he did not know where this sadness came from.He fell into contemplative silence before he calmly said, “It’s not difficult to find someone in Hestia Border, but this will stir up fear among other forces. I need a few days to consider this.”His reaction was expected, so Adina smiled faintly. “Okay, I’ll await your reply with peace of mind.”She nodded at the man, then turned around and walked outside calmly.She pulled open the meeting room door, and just as she took one step out, a beautifully-dressed woman blocked her path.Isabelle’s emerald green eyes were full of anger. “You’re already married, yet you’re still seducing my fiance. Are Cairnstanian women really that shameless?” she mocked in a low voice.“Ms. Isabelle, please mind your language,” Adina said coldly. “Mr. Terry North and I were talking about a business collaboration. Please don’t speculate about us with your dirty thoughts.”“If you were talking about collaboratin
Adina was stunned.She thought she had heard him wrongly, but when she saw how Alden and Georgie glared at Harold, she knew that she had heard right.She calmed down before she asked, “Is Terry North your friend?”“Yes, it’s him!” Harold said excitedly. “I also heard from Georgie that this person is very powerful. He seems to be the boss in this area. Georgie and Alden are going over because they want Terry North to help us find Daddy.”Adina stared at Alden and firmly said, “Alden, tell the truth.”Alden pursed his lips.It looked like he could not hide it anymore.If he had known about this earlier, he would not have allowed Harold to participate in their conversation.He looked up and obediently said, “Mommy, you know that I’m a hacker. I met Terry North during a mission and indirectly helped him a few times, so we became friends. I didn’t know he was the leader here until we arrived in Hestia Border, but he doesn’t know my identity yet.”“That’s great.” Adina sighed in rel
As soon as he landed, two bodyguards in the courtyard instantly rushed over and surrounded him.“This is a misunderstanding…” The man raised his hand while he spoke in not-so-fluent Cairnstanian.At this time, the mansion’s door was opened.The young man excitedly said, “Sir Daugherty, it’s me, K! I’m Karl!”Flint sized him up with a judgmental gaze. “Are you really Karl?”Did the two kids not say that Karl was brilliant? Why did he look like a softie?“Of course it’s me! I’m real!” Karl immediately moved out of their grasp. “Sir Daugherty, I didn’t know that you were actually so handsome. Which year were you born in? Let’s see if you’re older or me.”Flint pursed his lips. “I’m not Sir Daugherty.”Karl immediately rushed into the house.He had known Sir Daugherty for more than a year, and the two of them had partnered to open a studio, but he still did not know what his partner looked like.As soon as he rushed in, he saw Adina walking down the stairs.Adina had already h
