Fiona Davies, at 33 years old, had pursued her studies from undergraduate to doctoral level at universities ranked in top ten globally, specializing in surgical medicine.For someone born into wealth, such a resume was not uncommon. After all, even someone as seemingly clueless as Damon could attend a prestigious university like yGenova. So, of course, Fiona could too.What left Celeste stunned was Fiona's resume that Megan sent her.Unlike the other branch of the Davies family, Fiona's parents were politicians. When she flew abroad to study at the age of 19, she was still the daughter of a high-ranking official. But at 20, her father was disgraced due to involvement in corruption, and even covering tuition and living expenses became a problem.When 20-year-old Fiona learned that her family's assets had been seized, all she had left were a dozen or so luxury bags and two suitcases of clothes that she had taken abroad. She dismissed the servants who had accompanied her abroad an

After checking thoroughly, they cleared all the car owners of any suspicions.But there was only one black Volkswagen that couldn't be found. It seemed to disappear as it headed toward the outskirts on the Six Circle Road.After Caleb regained consciousness. He immediately underwent the leg surgery, with Fiona performing the operation. Celeste waited anxiously outside, eagerly awaiting news while closely monitoring Winston's and Liam's investigation."That car must have fake plates. It switched different license plates along the way in deserted areas. "My men tracked it to the outskirts based on the bloodstains on the left tire after it hit Cal," Winston said.But once it got onto the Six Circle Road, the car disappeared, and there was no trace of it on the next surveillance camera."No nee

Three days later, Celeste left Caleb in the care of Winston and Damon. She headed to Marksville solo.Kenny had heard about her arrival and had arranged a welcome banquet in advance. It was serving Geno cuisine, which both Kenny and Celeste loved.During the meal, Celeste laid out her plan. Kenny smiled faintly. He set down his fork, and crossed his arms as he looked at her. "I never help people with these kinds of things.""Kenny, what do you want as an exchange? I'll make it happen." In Celeste's plan, Kenny was an important piece, and she was determined to swallow her pride to ask him for help."At my age, I don't need money, and I'm not interested in women. There's nothing I really want."Kenny was speaking the truth. Last time, when he helped Celeste, it was more out of admiration for her and concern for Phillip's feelings. He only took a token amount of money.Celeste remained calm. After spending some time with Kenny, she felt she had a decent grasp of who he was."Afte

The big shots who ran the casino were skilled at pulling slick moves. They planted "scouts" around their target.The so-called "scouts" were those who lured others to the Gambling City to spend extravagantly and ultimately earned the commissions.There were some old friends, maybe even family, who ended up unwittingly leading people to the Gambling City, where they ended up losing everything they had.There were those who rely on nurturing "scouts" to make money. But they were aiming low. Most of the time, it was about pushing people to the brink so they can be manipulated and controlled.Celeste spent a few days hanging around the Gambling City to get close to Kenny. She had a bit of insight into this gig. And lucky for her, Damon had connections in the gang and could talk to Bryan. So, she wanted to give it a try.Many people in the underworld are addicted to gambling. Kenny's people checked Bryan's spending records and found that he hadn't been gambling much in recent years

Celeste retorted without hesitation, "This table hosts the biggest game in the house. Anyone who dares to sit here isn't just some naive rookie. "Once you're in the game, it's all about winning or losing, and there's no point in using status to oppress others.""Hey, lady. So, you wanna do it the hard way, huh?" Jerry slammed the table."Jerry, sit down." Finally, Bryan spoke in a deep voice.Jerry immediately sat down obediently, glaring at Celeste."Since it's all about winning or losing. Then, you shouldn't just boast." Bryan confidently placed a stack of chips on the table, speaking casually.He seemed calm, but Celeste knew her provocation had worked because the fierceness in his eyes had intensified.This was exactly what she wanted, Celeste thought, but she didn't let her guard down.The dozen or so people at the table were all her temporary hired hands. Except for Bryan and the outsider, they were kept in the dark.After giving Bryan a taste of victory twice, letting

Instead of handing Bryan 100 million, it's smarter to let him snag a loan for the same amount and help him settle it with his own cash. Despite Bryan's considerable skill, he was just a street thug who gradually climbed to the position of second in command within the Leapard Syndicate. This amount of money wasn't so easy to repay.In his line of work, it meant doing whatever it took, including committing heinous acts and taking lives, just to earn a nine-figure sum. That much was certain.Celeste forced Bryan into a corner, yet she remained polite and gave him respect. Celeste kept calling him "Dragon Lord". Bryan started to feel that she wasn't someone to mess with, and a sudden chill ran down his spine.With things reaching this point, everything fell into place.Bryan agreed to follow Celeste's plan to restrain Titus, and Celeste also breathed a sigh of relief.In less than a week, Celeste had taken down Bryan and even picked up a godfather along the way. Celeste's trip to

"At that time, Damon was just about as big as Kayden. "The first time Damon saw me at Nicholas' place, he kept clinging to my leg, calling me "Ms. Davies" non-stop. "He refused to go back for dinner even when the servant came to take him, and he kept crying. "Later, Mrs. Bishop had no choice but to send him over to find me again that day."Fiona told Celeste, "Look at him now, acting all aloof. But in reality, he's the clingiest.""Can't even have a meal in peace with you around, Fiona?" Damon frowned immediately after his weaknesses were pointed out. "No wonder Kayden likes the pretty girl. It runs in the family." Celeste recalled the scene where Kayden wanted her to carry him the first time they met. She also imagined Damon clinging to Fiona's leg and refusing to leave, which made her burst into laughter.Fiona was almost seven years older than Damon. She had lived abroad for a long time. So, she didn't have the typical delicate appearance of a local woman. She was t

As the conversation reached this point, Celeste's insistence on going made it seem like she didn't trust Fiona Even though Celeste had good intentions, being unjustly suspected still made her feel uneasy.Considering Fiona's kindness to Caleb, Celeste chose not to say much and got up to fetch clothes for Damon.While Celeste helped Damon put on his shirt, he frowned discontentedly. "Why can't Liam go?"Getting called away from Celeste late at night made him really angry."If Fiona specifically asked for you, then just go. Consider it as payback for all those times you clung to her leg when you were little," Celeste teased Damon while attentively buttoning his shirt and planting a kiss on his forehead, finally managing to calm him down."Alright. Wait for me to come back, darling," Damon said, lowering his head for a kiss. Then, he immediately dialed Fiona's number as he walked out."Where are you?" Damon asked on the phone, and Fiona responded him."Wait for me..." Damon said.
