“Sorry, the place is too small, and there's nowhere else to put my legs. I’ll have to squeeze in next to you!” Laura said with a flirtatious smile as she brushed her bangs aside.Frederick noticed with a sidelong glance that she was clearly lying. There was plenty of space around, but she chose to crowd him. Plus, the strong scent of her perfume was almost overpowering.Trying to stay calm, he said, “No problem, we’re in your place, after all.”Laura’s smile grew more mischievous. So, he was still trying to play it cool? No matter! There was one thing that could strip away all of a man's pretenses: alcohol. She exchanged a knowing look with Selene, who promptly brought over a dozen beers and opened them with a bottle opener.“Come on, Fred! Let’s drink! You never let me drink with you when I was younger. Now I’m an adult, let’s have a real sibling drink-off! We’re not stopping until we’re both drunk!” Selene cheered.Laura added playfully, “They say your character is shown by
Outside on the balcony, Selene waited anxiously. It had been over two hours since Laura and Frederick were alone in the room. During that time, Laura had even asked Selene to buy some more liquor, intending to continue drinking.'Oh no! Laurie is really planning to get Fred completely drunk!' Selene thought to herself, worried. She feared that if Frederick got too drunk, he might succumb to Laura's deliberate seduction and do something he would regret. If that happened, it would be too late to turn back!Suddenly, a piercing scream erupted from inside the room.“Laurie!” Selene's face turned white with fear. She didn't hesitate, rushing into the room like a rocket and flinging the door open. "Fred! Don't do anything stupid!"But what she saw left her speechless. It wasn't Frederick making a move on Laura. It was Laura who had pulled her shoulder straps down, exposing her ample D-cup chest, with her lace camisole torn away. She was throwing herself at Frederick!“Why are yo
"Do you know where she might have gone?" Frederick sensed something was off.Selene hesitated, and said, "She works at a modeling agency. Mostly photoshoots and runway shows. It's not usually dangerous… Oh, but the agency is known for having lots of beautiful models. The owner is a rich playboy who often takes them to parties. But she always messages me if she's doing something like that.""You stay here. I'll go find her!" Frederick said, concern growing as he listened. The agency sounded less than reputable, and the private lives of models could be chaotic.As Frederick put on his coat and prepared to leave, Selene suddenly cried, "Fred! Fred!"Frederick's expression changed, and he immediately asked, "What happened?""I was just scrolling on my phone and saw...people are sharing this online..." Selene's breathing was rapid, and she looked terrified."What are they sharing?" Frederick asked, his concern deepening.With shaking hands, Selene handed over her phone. The s
"So I’m telling you, it’s pointless! Why make such a fuss?" the receptionist grumbled, still shaken.Frederick ignored her complaints. Smiling, he said, "Thank you."Golden Princess? He remembered it was one of Byron's properties. If that was the case, getting Byron involved would make retrieving Laura easier. Whether the video was real or not, ensuring her safety was paramount.As he headed to Golden Princess Paradise, Selene called him."Fred, Laurie’s back! The video is fake! She said someone just edited it! And she said she made an excuse to leave early. No one hurt her." Her voice was filled with relief.Frederick felt a weight lift off his shoulders. "Good. I'll head back now."But after hanging up, he sensed something was wrong. He could tell if a video was edited. That video had real elements, especially certain features of Laura's body, like the two moles on her butt. He had noticed them when he helped clean her up last night, and they matched perfectly.'If that’s tr
"I didn't realize she was saying her last words! It's all my fault! I'm so stupid! So useless!" Selene cried, slapping her own face in anguish and guilt.Frederick grabbed her arms, and tried to calm her down. "Selly, this isn't your fault! It's not your responsibility. It's...those people." His eyes burned with fury at the thought of those who had harmed Laura. The murderous rage he felt was overwhelming, a feeling he had only experienced twice before: once when Jennifer was sold to the Crimson Robe Society, and now.Selene wiped her tears, and said vehemently, "Fred, let's call the police! Let the law punish them!" Frederick smiled bitterly, and gently pinched her cheek. "My naive sister, this is Centropolis. Here, the law doesn't touch the powerful."Determination etched on his face, he declared, "I'm going to handle this my own way."Selene gasped. "What are you planning to do?"Frederick didn't answer. He walked over to Laura's body, gently closed her lifeless eyes, and s
Frederick glanced at Jasmine, remaining unmoved. He reached out, and gave her bottom a firm squeeze."Stop messing around. I have serious matters to discuss," he said sternly.Jasmine's body jolted as if shocked, almost letting out a gasp. Her eyes widened as she glared at Frederick. But then, she saw that his face was darker than usual, and his eyes were as cold as ice.Her expression turned serious, and she followed him into the office."What's going on?" she asked.Frederick got straight to the point. "Do you know Kelvin Thompson?" Being part of the elite circle in Centropolis, Jasmine had a much broader network than an outsider like Phoenix. If there was a breakthrough to be found, it would be through her.Jasmine was surprised. "Kelvin Thompson? Of course I know him! He's a spoiled rich kid and a typical playboy! His private life is a mess. I've heard he's ruined quite a few college girls.""He's been living it up these past few years, using his family money to start a mo
The next evening at eight o'clock, at Golden Princess Paradise, a group of wealthy heirs gathered. They were singing and dancing, surrounded by a blaze of lights and the allure of fine wine."Mr. Thompson’s here!""Mr. Thompson, you're as impressive as ever!""Of course, being a noble, the blood in your veins is different from us commoners!"As Kelvin the earl's son arrived, the suckups quickly stood up to flatter him. He was dressed in a sharp suit, his arms covered in elaborate tattoos, and he was strikingly handsome.He pulled out a box of cigarettes, generously handing them out. "These are a special palace supply my father brought back from the Imperial Capital. You can't buy these anywhere else! Come on, don't be shy. Try the same cigarettes the nobles in the Imperial Capital smoke! And remember—everything tonight, food and drinks, is on me!""Mr. Thompson, you're so generous!" the group cheered, gathering around him as he took the central seat.Kelvin smirked, and declared
"It's not about doubting you. I check everyone who spends time with me. Those people out there were checked as well," Kelvin hurriedly explained. "Better safe than sorry, right? Ms. Smith, why are you so upset? Could it be that...""Could it be what?" Jasmine interrupted with a cold laugh, stretching out her arms. "Go ahead, check. As a noble, it's only right to satisfy your curiosity."Kelvin looked a bit embarrassed, but reluctantly began to pat her down. He quickly skimmed over her body, avoiding only the most private areas. There really was nothing!With a cautious smile, he said, "Ms. Smith, my apologies! I truly misjudged you. How about this: all your expenses within a five-kilometer radius tonight are on me. Even if you max out your card, it's no problem! Consider it my way of making amends."Jasmine smiled sweetly. "Kelvin, do you take me for a gold digger?"With that, she silently moved closer to him, placing her delicate hand on his waist. "Originally, I was thinking..
