Lucy was stunned. She hadn't expected Tobias to say that. Tobias was amused by her stunned expression. Her act was very convincing. It was a pity she hadn't debuted as an actress.Lucy chuckled dryly. "Your grandfather would be so sad if he found out what you do for a living."Tobias said mockingly, "Well, I'm just trying to make a living. You seem to pity me. Why don't you become my sugar mommy? I'll be sure to serve you well."Tobias intentionally moved closer to Lucy when he said that. His face was right next to her ear, and his warm breath touched her ears suggestively. Lucy's face blushed instantly. Then, she glared at him and said, "I have a very strong urge to smash your shameless face in with my shoes."Tobias gave her a provocative look. She rolled her eyes and cursed under her breath, "Shameless!"She turned and left. Tobias sneered. Then, he followed the manager to the VIP room."Lucy, what were you talking about with that man? It seemed like you two have quite a

At the dining table, Sienna wolfed down the food. Lucy couldn't help but smile in exasperation when she saw Sienna's behavior. "Sienna, slow down. We have plenty of food, and no one's going to take it from you.""That's not the point. I've been extremely blessed to be able to taste your cooking. Hmm, it's simply divine! I feel like I've struck gold every time I get to eat food made by you. Who will be the lucky man who gets to taste the delicacies you make every day?"Smiling, Lucy said, "When you're done, we'll go shopping. I have to buy some things for the house, and I also have to hire someone to keep the place clean.""Sure."…Meanwhile, Tobias was enjoying lunch at a restaurant when his phone suddenly rang.Glancing at the incoming call displayed on his phone, Tobias had a cold look in his eyes as he answered the call. "Hello."Anna's voice came from the other end of the line. "Tobias, I've just wrapped up filming, so I can go back and spend some quality time with you in a

In the meeting room at Ripley Group, someone spoke up."Mr. Ripley, regarding the royal purchase orders from Faldoria, we have invited Alicia, the world's most versatile designer, to be the design director of this project. We're currently coordinating with her.""Do you mean the very same Alicia who is capable of designing everything? I heard that everything she designs instantly becomes a popular limited edition item as soon as it's released. The Queen of Faldoria will definitely love it."Tobias asked, "When will the contract be signed?""We've agreed to have a meeting in person at 3:00 pm today."Tobias glanced at the watch on his wrist. "That's too late. Tell her to come over right now.""Of course."…Lucy was drafting the designs when her phone rang."Hello?"Her good friend, Faith Parker, spoke up on the other end of the line. "Lucy, Ripley Group just called. They want to meet you right now, and they seem to be in a rush. Are you available?"Lucy glanced at the time a

With that, Tobias prepared to leave.Faith got up and ran after him. "Please wait, Mr. Ripley. No matter who you're having a meeting with, Alicia will still be the one working with you. I'm sure that your time is very precious, so won't it be better if we draft a contract first?"Tobias paused in his footsteps. Turning around, he glanced coldly at her. "I won't repeat myself."With that, he turned around and walked away. Left alone, Faith began to panic."Why is he so unreasonable?"Faith wiped her tears as she called Lucy. "Lucy, how are things on your end?"Lucy replied, "I'm at the police station, and they're looking into it. What's the matter?""The CEO of Ripley Group thinks he's the king or something! He insisted on having a meeting with you in person.""Well, it's an order worth billions of dollars, after all. I can understand why he's erring on the side of caution. Ask them to schedule a meeting another time. When I've settled things here, I'll go to the meeting right a

Tobias held a fork and a knife in his hands as he elegantly cut a piece of the steak. He chewed slowly.After a lot of hard work, Finn finally entered the private room.Finn looked like he was really bothered by the women outside. He couldn't help but complain, saying, "Mr. Ripley, I've finally escaped. "Those women keep trying to stage an encounter with you, but they never try to come up with new ideas. I've gotten sick of their techniques."Scoffing, Tobias raised a glass of wine and took a sip from it. "These things have happened every day ever since I took over as the CEO of Ripley Group. I can't even be bothered to spare them a glance."Switch to another restaurant in secret. Don't let those people figure out my whereabouts.""Understood."Just then, Finn's phone rang. "Hello, yes… Understood. I'll make arrangements for Mr. Ripley to meet you right away."Tobias was eating. When he heard the conversation, he raised an eyebrow as he looked at Finn.After ending the call,

When Lucy heard the retreating footsteps outside, she returned to her senses first. She pushed her hands against Tobias' chest as she resisted.However, to Tobias, Lucy's efforts were no more than tickles. It only served to stimulate his hormones even more. As he pressed further, Lucy felt her mental fortitude gradually crumble.As she thought of the other night, Lucy wrapped her arms around Tobias' neck and began kissing him back without realizing it.Upon noticing her response, Tobias became even bolder."Wha—"Someone entered the restroom. When he heard the noises in the cubicle, he clicked his tongue. "Damn, they're doing it even in toilets! Can't they just get a room?"The man slammed the door on his way out.Tobias and Lucy, who had just been getting passionate, suddenly came to their senses.Screaming, Lucy shoved Tobias away as she fell onto the floor.Her clothes were torn open, revealing the skin underneath, which was covered in hickeys. Even her lips were swollen.

It was already 5:00 pm by the time Lucy woke up from her nap.Just then, her phone rang.As it turned out, it was a call from Howard, whom she had saved last time. He told Lucy that he and his wife, Agatha Shaw, were holding a family dinner and enthusiastically invited her to attend. Lucy felt that it would be rude to say no, so she agreed.Howard sent a driver to pick Lucy up. When Lucy reached her destination, she was surprised to see that Howard lived in a luxurious villa.After dinner, Lucy prepared to leave.However, the old couple insisted that she stay as their guest. Lucy tried to decline, but in the end, she succumbed to Agatha's stubborn and tear-filled request.

She also tended to the garden and talked about daily life with Agatha. They got along very well.One day, Lucy and Agatha were preparing lunch in the kitch

What guest?Tobias, who was enjoying his meal, had a puzzled look on his face.When Howard and Agatha heard that Lucy had fainted, they were so anxious that they tried to rush upstairs. However, Tobias hastily set down the cutlery in his hands. "Grandpa, Grandma, calm down. I'll go upstairs and have a look.""Tobias, Lucy is our esteemed guest. Do not mistreat her in any way.""Don't just stand around and do nothing. Call 911!"The maid hastily called 911 while Tobias went to the guest room upstairs. He spotted someone who had fallen on the floor. He stepped forward, about to pick her up, when he noticed the drafts scattered on the floor.It was an emergency, so Tobias didn't examine the drafts before picking the woman up. It wasn't until he had brushed her messy hair away from her face that he realized that she was that gold digger!"Why is she here? How could she be the guest?"Just then, Howard and Agatha arrived at the scene as well. "Tobias, how is Lucy doing? Why di
