One evening, while Kourtney was conducting experiments in the laboratory, she suddenly received a call from Jeff."Kourtney, I have some good news!" Jeff's voice was filled with excitement."What good news?" Kourtney put down the test tube and asked eagerly."Grandfather's old friend has provided new leads that might reveal the true leader of the ANN organization. We're going to meet him now, would you like to come along?" Jeff invited.Without hesitation, Kourtney joined Jeff and headed to the location where the grandfather's old friend was. It was a remote cabin, and the old friend's name was Joseph, someone who had been a close friend of the grandfather many years ago."Everyone, I've found some leads that might help you," Joseph said.He activated an old projector, displaying some video footage. The footage showed a masked individual, the leader of the ANN organization. For some reason, everyone felt the person looked familiar, but they couldn't quite pinpoint who it was."I had s

In the room at the Palace Hotel, the sound of running water emanated from the bathroom, and the frosted glass door faintly revealed a sturdy figure. A man was showering, his features obscured by the dispersing water vapor. Yet, from his perfectly sculpted back forming an inverted triangle, the smooth lines of his leg muscles, his firm chest, and defined abdominal muscles, it wasn't difficult to discern his physical perfection. His name was Jeff Howard, the president of the Howard Group. Reflecting on the events of the previous night, a smirk played upon Howard's lips. The woman had mistaken him for a "male stripper" and "utilized" him throughout the night. Silence enveloped the room until a cell phone abruptly shattered it. The woman, still in bed, stirred awake. An arm emerged from beneath the covers, revealing skin adorned with hickeys—marking her back, breasts, neck, and even the insides of her thighs. Signs of their passionate encounter were scattered across the bed. With effo
Kourtney had just exited her room at the hotel. In the hallway, a man disguised as a waiter spotted her and eagerly reached for his cell phone to make a call. Quick as lightning, she snatched his phone and slammed it against the wall, shattering it. Then, with a swift kick to the stomach, she sent him reeling, rolling toward the stairwell where he collided with the wall before fleeing in disarray. Adjusting her robe, she stepped into the elevator. A car awaited her outside the hotel. In the back seat lay an outfit prepared by Brittany. "Why are you here?" she inquired. Brittany, stylishly tousling her brown wavy hair, replied, "They had urgent matters. I'm available." As the car started, Kourtney changed clothes in the back seat of the car, her movements fluid and graceful. Glancing at the hickeys adorning Kourtney's body, Brittany exclaimed, "Wow, eventful night." Blushing, memories flooding back, Kourtney needed to compose herself. It wasn't the time to dwell on him. She fi
A young woman strode into the room. She was clad in a short bodysuit, snug blue jeans, and a pair of sneakers. Despite the simplicity of her attire, it accentuated her enviable figure flawlessly. The snug fit of her sweatshirt hinted at a toned midsection, while the jeans hugged her legs, highlighting their perfect contour. Clearly, she was a fitness enthusiast, her long blonde hair tied back in a casual ponytail, radiating youthful vigor. Her presence left many in awe. Here was a woman who exuded both allure and innocence, blending youthfulness with maturity and poise in a remarkable manner. How could one person encapsulate such a diverse range of qualities? Yet, amidst a gathering where opulence and sophistication reigned, her attire seemed out of place, albeit extraordinary. Nevertheless, her natural beauty shone through, capturing the attention of several onlookers, particularly the young men who couldn't help but be drawn to her. "Who is she?" "What's her name?" "I've neve
Jeff Howard was also invited to Old Mr. Elijah's birthday party, which was attended by basically every celebrity in New York. Originally, he never attended such boring and hypocritical parties. But today, when he asked Ethan to hurry up and prepare the costume for dinner, Ethan was very surprised. Since when would his boss go to such a party? Besides, he was not familiar with the old gentleman. All Jeff could think of was to see his beautiful girl again. He was in a good mood today and dressed himself up. He was already handsome, and with this custom-made suit on, he was comparable to Leon Nadeau back then. "Boss, you dress up like this, will it be too high-profile?" "Wouldn't male strippers all dress more... attractive?" "Yes, but why ask that?" "Nothing. Let's go." Jeff didn't want to reveal his identity yet. So when he went to the dinner, he signed in as Ethan's assistant, his private assistant. Since he rarely made public appearances outside and never appeared in the media
