William's appearance immediately became the center of attention at the party as he was undeniably good-looking. Because of this, he had involuntarily stolen the hearts of many young ladies while he walked towards Valeria. William, on the other hand, had no idea that the ladies were swayed by his suave as he approached Gavin and Valeria with a bright smile. As Valeria saw William come over, she let go of Gavin's arm subconsciously and moved to take his arm swiftly. Together, the two were like a match made in heaven, which caused someone to mutter jealously, "Isn't that the playboy from the Howard family? Since when did he couple up with the daughter of the Saunders family? "You're right. His looks are impeccable but he had a bad reputation. How could the Saunders family approve of this relationship?" "By the way, did you notice that no one from the Howard family showed up tonight? Sir Hayden and Sir Gavin are good friends for many years, b
Lucian was stunned for a moment. What invitation was that? She had only received a verbal invitation! She stared at the security guards and said, "I don't have a invitation as President Saunders personally invited me." "Are you sure? May I have your name, please?" "I... I'm Lucian Barnbook." "Lucian Barnbook? Your name doesn't ring a bell," One of the security guards frowned and continued, "We are required to remember the names and faces of each guest. However, it seems that your name is not on President Saunders' invitation list." Lucian was extremely furious as she had never been humiliated like this before. She knew that Archer must have done this purposely to embarrass her and to hinder her chance of meeting Natalie. She held back her anger and said, "Why would I lie? Archer did invite me personally! Please call President Saunders to clear things up." "If that's the case
Valeria frowned as she was not interested in it and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm busy right now." "It's a very important matter," Lucian panicked a little upon seeing Valeria's attitude. "Really? Let's go over there, then," Valeria finally stood up and they left the table. They went inside a room and Valeria signaled Lucian as they entered. "What do you want to tell me?" Valeria went straight to the point. "It's about Savannah. Ms. Brown, I've received news that Savannah and Raelyn had teamed up together. Savannah is planning to commit suicide to stir things up here." "Well, she can do what she wants, then. What does it have to do with me?" Valeria had an ignorant and unfazed expression. "She isn't just committing suicide, but she is planning to push Hayden into a corner and force him to stand up for her. She was caught red-handed when she tried to drug him last time, s
Lucian mocked her as she said, "Do you think that you're better than her? Tonight is all about President Garcia and Ms. Brown, so there's no place for you. I would behave myself if I were you. No one would take you seriously as you were out of the picture since long ago." Raelyn did not have to show any mercy as there were no outsiders nearby, so she snapped back, "I am still the eldest daughter of the Saunders family. Even if I'm married, I'm still a Saunders, and not to mention that I'm the one and only Mrs. Anderson! Who do you think you are? You're a nobody, a pet that was abandoned by your master. You know what, just apologize to me, and I'll forgive you as I have a big heart. If you don't want to, then you do know what I'm capable of, right?" "Oh, I'm so afraid!" Lucian said sarcastically as she shrugged her shoulders and continued, "Raelyn, I'm well aware of those dirty tricks of yours. Bring it on, then? Let's see if the Saunders family, or your beloved husband, who
Raelyn was humiliated greatly by Lucian and it made her anger boil. Since Lucian had dared to provoke her, she would definitely strike back. Raelyn knew that it was not easy to deal with Lucian, but she knew that she had a soft spot, which was Natalie. Raelyn decided to use Natalie against Lucian tonight as she whispered her plan to Natasya. Then, the pair made their way towards Natalie and Archer. This time, she had learned her lesson, so she greeted them politely with a big smile, "Archer! Natalie!" Archer and Natalie were both taken aback as this was the first time that Raelyn had acknowledged Natalie properly. Natalie couldn't help but wonder how hard it was for Raelyn to do this, as she knew how much Raelyn hated her. Natalie had to pretend that she suffered from amnesia, so she stared at Raelyn and Natasya blankly. Shortly, Natasya followed Raelyn's footsteps and greeted her uncle and aunt cordially. In reply to their greetings, Archer p
Raelyn had successfully set up Lucian tonight, as she was assisted by William, Archer, and Natalie. If it weren't for the sake of the plan, Natalie would never be alone with Raelyn willingly. William, on the other hand, had wanted to grasp Lucian's intention towards Natalie. Based on his observations and events from the past few days, Lucian did not pose a threat towards Natalie but was extremely concerned about Natalie's safety and wellbeing instead. That was strange! William pondered for a moment, then looked at Michael and said, "Show Michael the video and see if he discovers anything." At this, Bobby showed the video to Michael, who frowned after watching it, "Lucian's reaction is very strange indeed. Any chance that she is homosexual?" William froze and asked, "What do you mean?" "It's similar to a case I've worked on before. The victim was a lesbian and had the same reaction as Lucian when she was harassed by a man. However, I may be wrong as L
Savannah was shocked as the policemen carried out their duties and showed no sign of leniency towards her. Naturally, she was not willing to follow them to the police station and the situation was chaotic. At this time, Charles finally turned up at Ronald's apartment along with George and Philip. The three of them heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that Savannah was fine, but Charles was suddenly anxious when he realized that the police were there too. As Hayden would be furious when he arrived at the apartment and saw that Savannah was alright, Charles quickly spoke up to try to ease her out of the situation. "Oh, Savannah! We're so glad that you're fine! We were all worried about you! Dad is looking for you everywhere! Savannah, what were you thinking? What if something were to happen to you? What about dad?" "Charles, I really can't take it anymore! I... I wouldn't have done this if I had a choice..." Savannah sobbed and felt her heart sank as she realized
William was stunned upon hearing that and asked, "Is it true?" "Yes, but Devon was very secretive about it. I once saw Devon wrote a love letter to Natalie and I recognized his handwriting immediately." "What happened after that?" "Raelyn was interested in him later and began to pursue him. Devon then switched his target from Natalie to Raelyn, as Raelyn is the eldest daughter of the Saunders family, which meant that she has a better status than Natalie." William frowned and thought for a moment, "Does Lucian have any business with any other men besides Devon?" "Nope! The pair are friends that merely benefit from each other. Lucian is an extremely odd woman. I remembered an incident that happened during a company gathering with their clients. She vomited in the bathroom when a drunk client had touched her accidentally. Her reaction is not normal at all." "Could it be that she drank too much?" "Nope. They even joked about it when she went to puk
