Lotus' lips curved up, her eyes shone, and a wicked glint flickered past her eyes upon seeing the beauty in the mirror. Her beautiful eyes fell on the date, and she realized that there were just three days left until Aster's birthday.Lotus moved away from the mirror, picked up her phone, and tapped on the social media app to scroll through it. Ever since Lotus was sacked from the Meyer company and was disowned by Mr. Meyers, netizens expected that Aster would be the heir to the Meyer family property.Since the past few weeks, the netizen's discussion has become intense. Not only was their discussion about Aster's upcoming birthday, but Aster became the heir to the Ludovic family.And Aster, being the devising and scheming person she was, continuously gave the media an unclear and indirect meaning that implied that she didn't know, but she'd be the heir.Not only that, Aster kept meeting with other companies' heirs and top executives, which further stirred up the netizens and made A
Lotus leaned back on the chair and lazily cast a glance at Aster. Her lips quirk up in an indifferent smile. “What do you mean by what I'm doing here? I'm the major shareholder in the Meyer company.”Upon hearing Lotus’ response, Aster's expression changed. She could see that Lotus' arrival was meant to cause trouble.Despite Aster's chaotic thoughts, none of them were reflected on her face. She bit her lower lip and sat on the shareholder seat demurely. “It's just that I expected my elder sister to be with brother…”Before Aster could complete her statement, Ezra Meyer pushed open the door haughtily. He was about to part his lips and say a word when he saw Lotus sitting on the top chair. Ezra Meyer's expression changed, and he pointed at Lotus in fury. “You! What are you doing here? Get lost!” He berated with a cold scowl.Lotus lazily cast an indifferent gaze at Ezra Meyer and sneered. “Such a wonderful greeting, Mr. Meyer, but this isn't how a company handles superiority, is it?”
Lotus yawned and rubbed her eyes cutely. She pursed her thin lips and opened her eyes wide. Her eyes fell on the clock, and she discovered that it was 5:13 a.m.Upon recalling that the day was Astor's birthday party, Lotus' face inexplicably scrunched up. Originally, Lotus had no intention to go to Aster's birthday, but Ezra Meyer threatened her with her mother's necklace, so she had no choice but to play along with them. Lotus sleepily wrapped her hands around Zaire's neck and grumbled in his embrace, “Hubby, can I not go?” Zaire wrapped his hand around her waist and gently patted her back. “Hm.” He responded in agreement.If it was up to Zaire, he would rather Lotus not attend the party, knowing how desperate Ezra and the Meyer family are. However, Lotus refused and wanted to go just to know what Ezra Meyer had in mind.Lotus believed that going to the Meyer mansion with enough preparation would make her face their schemes confidently and, overall, get her mom's jewelry.

An ambient instrumental played by a famous traditional band gently played in the background, creating a calm and serene atmosphere, which was a contrast to the liveliness, happy laughter, chatter, and glass clinking in the Meyer mansion.Warm light and high chandeliers enveloped the hall. Different flowers ranging from roses, orchids, lilies, tulips, etc. were strategically arranged in the hall, highlighting the mansion’s artistic luxury and beauty—making one's eyes linger—its scent softly teasing one's nose.Wealthy and prominent people in all sorts of industries, which included entertainment, business, etc., held glasses of expensive alcohol and interacted with each other, clearly to build more connections and familiarity and get investors.Ezra Meyer and Riley held hands sweetly.Ezra wore a matching charcoal gray suit, while Riley wore a burgundy dress that accentuated her beauty. They each held a glass of wine in hand and a warm smile plastered on their faces.They made their wa
“We are a happy family; what? Now that you have the Ludovic family behind you, the Meyer family is now worth nothing, so you look down on us.” Ezra Meyer disparaged and snorted. Upon hearing Ezra Meyer's words, Lotus' brows knitted and her eyes narrowed, not understanding what was ensuing.Lotus believed that Ezra Meyer must have threatened her to attend Aster’s birthday party because he had a plan; it can't be that she was the one who was thinking too much, can it?Lotus brushed a glance at the Meyer family, and she discovered that nothing unsightly was revealed on their face. Was she really wrong…Riley took a step forward and hung a caring smile on her face. “Lotus, I informed your father to invite you to the party, hoping to fix the family bond.” Riley softly whispered in a caring tone that unconsciously melted the heart of the guest. Lotus arched her brows, not believing Riley's words. Did they really ask her to attend just to flaunt their family care?Lotus couldn't help wonde
The CEO of X Company was a man in his late fifties. He had an ugly, fat face and a potbelly that jiggled with every action he took. He rubbed his hands with delight upon seeing Lotus' beautiful face. When the CEO of X company heard the news that Lotus had taken over the Meyer company and kicked Ezra Meyer out of the company, he thought that it was a pity. The CEO had thought that he wouldn't have any chance to touch Lotus anymore, but it turns out that he later received such a huge gift. Seeing Lotus' reddened face and her teary eyes tugged at the CEO's heartstrings and made his desire increase multiple times. The thought of touching that smooth, glassy skin, kissing those pouting, plump red lips, and rubbing his hands through her body and figure made his breath emit in waves. The thought of that slim and beautiful finger wrapping around his length made his mood increase so much that he felt as if he'd fly.The CEO's eyes were exceptionally fixed on the woman, whose lips parte
In the private room of a famous and expensive five-star restaurant. The ambiance was calm and serene. At the center of the private room was a table of meals.Two men in suits sat opposite each other and smoothly conversed about business matters. RingThe sudden ringing of Zaire's phone attracted his attention. Upon hearing the certain ringtone, Zaire's expression softened, and he took out his phone to pick up Lotus' call. Immediately, a sound of searching through things drifted into his ears.Zaire's brows arched, and he called, “Lotus?” However, even after calling Lotus' name three times, the noise didn't stop, nor did Lotus say a word. Rather, low pants began to drift from the other end of the phone. Even without thinking, Zaire knew that something was wrong with the woman, making him exceptionally worried.He cut off the call, his face icy and his aura cold to the brim.Zaire had expected that when he gave the Meyer family a warning gaze, it'd be enough for them to toss their
"Hot. Hot." Lotus moaned loudly while squirming in Zaire’s embrace and tracing a clumsy kiss on Zaire’s neck.Zaire’s vein throbbed, and his Adam's apple bobbed. He had to use all his strength to restrain himself from taking Lotus right there.The instant Zaire arrived in his personal cabin, he carefully placed Lotus on the bed.Upon feeling the momentary separation of the wonderful temperature, Lotus’s lips parted in desperate cries, and pitiful tears pooled in her eyes. She stretched out her hand and clung to Zaire with all her strength.It was clear that Lotus had already lost all her rationality, and the only thing she was capable of doing was instinctively solving her urge using Zaire. Even though she already lost her mind, Lotus knew that only Zaire could save her, so she couldn’t let go of him. She can'tUpon seeing the woman’s panicking and desperate actions, Zaire’s expression darkened with rage. He really wants to tear those bastards apart. They must have overdosed her for
