“What is it?” Andrius yawned as he opened the door. “Look at this!” Halle showed him her phone after a few taps on the screen. When Andrius glanced at it, he instantly woke up. It was an article with the headline spelling “Rich Timberland’s New Handsome Sugarbaby”. Together with the article was a picture from Artemis Clinic. It was taken the night before yesterday when Sonia had shoved the bank card into Andrius’ face. Even though Andrius did not face the camera, a man as attractive as him was the only light in the dark. Anyone who knew his personality would recognize him at first glance. There was a whole essay attached underneath with almost a thousand words. The article described it so vividly that it felt like it really happened. “What the f*ck? Which jerk took this picture? This is slander! The article is accusing me!” Andrius was stunned by the disbelief. “How would I know?” Halle rolled her eyes at him. She added, “I was with Luna yesterday, and when she woke u
Andrius went online again, and the article was gone. …When Andrius arrived at Team Five’s office, Luna was already waiting for him there. “Andrius, a word in my office,” she said coldly before she stormed into her office. Her heels clacked loudly, obvious signs that she was furious. Andrius was speechless. He simply followed her into the office. Bang! Luna slammed the door shut. Her delicate face was frosty. “Andrius, explain the investment from Sonia Timberland.” Andrius sighed. “I guess she just wanted to invest?” “Stop bluffing!” Luna questioned him with a straight face, “Are you… illicitly involved with her? Or else why did she invest in our company and not ask for equity? She’s literally giving us money. If you have nothing to do with her, why would she do that?” She became angrier as she continued. Her chest heaved strongly and her breathing turned loud. Illicitly involved? It must be another way of calling him a sugar baby. Andrius was aggrieved. He expla
Solomon was in the Hanshus’ living hall, looking around with a bitter gaze. A few days ago, he met with Wayman and agreed to work together. He thought by killing Andrius, he would be able to take over New Moon Corporation for sure. To his surprise, the notorious Scarface died in Andrius’ hands. The Hanshus went after New Moon Corporation, but then the Timberlands intervened and gave Luna a billion worth of investment. The Timberlands saved the Crestfalls and prolonged their lifespan! Now, Sonia Timberland even invited Luna and Andrius to attend her birthday party. What the hell happened? When Solomon got the news, he came to the Hanshus right away to discuss a plan with Wayman. A while later, Wayman came out. He glanced at Solomon, who had a terrible expression on his face. “Mr. Stormbrew, you look terrible.” “Master Hanshu…” Solomon nervously asked, “Is New Moon Corporation close to the Timberlands?” If Luna had gotten the Timberlands to side with her, then Solomon w
While her outstanding looks awed every guest that arrived, it also raised a question in their hearts. Who was so important that Sonia had to wait eagerly at the main entrance herself? A while later, a car arrived at the main entrance. luna and Andrius came down from the car. Sonia went up and welcomed them with a bright smile. “Mr. Moonshade, Ms. Crestfall, you guys are here!” Sonia gestured and invited them inside. “This way!” The three of them entered the hotel. The scene shocked everyone. Sonia was waiting for them? Luna was the beautiful CEO of New Moon Corporation, and she had quite the reputation in Sumeria, but Andrius? To the public, Andrius was just a nameless guy, so why would Sonia welcome him herself? Even though he looked rather handsome after wearing the suit Luna bought for him, appearances were not enough nowadays. However, there were people who saw the morning news, and when they looked at Andrius, they sensed something different from the man. It
Behind Kevin was a team of photographers, a boy as the ringbearer and a girl as the flower girl, plus a whole bunch of people. It looked official and grand. When Kevin’s words subsided, thunderous applause sounded. The people who he paid off started to cheer and applaud loudly. “This is so romantic!” “I’m so jealous! Ms. Timberland is really the happiest woman on earth!” “If I’m Ms. Timberland, I might cry a river!” “Marry him, Ms. Timberland!” “Marry him!” The crowd was ceaseless with their merriments. The cheers and comments, plus the crowd pressure pushed Sonia under the spotlight. The crowd then cheered louder en masse. If Sonia rejected Kevin, she would be identified as a cold and heartless woman, a woman who could not read the room. Sonia was in a delighted mood today. She invited Andrius to the event because she thought of advancing on him. However, with Kevin pulling this fiasco in front of her and Andrius, everything was messed up. She got to her fe
However, Luna did not put much thought into it. Similar to most of the crowd, Luna believed that Sonia simply came up with an excuse to reject Kevin, and Andrius was the excuse. As for Kevin, he was fuming, his expression turned bitter. To him, Andrius was a good-for-nothing prick that leeched on women, yet Sonia used him to reject himself. A blatant insult! The only one who remained calm was Andrius. He was reading his magazine and his thoughts drifted away. Slowly, as he realized something strange was happening to his surroundings, he looked up and saw a silent and astonished crowd looking at him. “What happened? What are you people looking at me?” Andrius closed the magazine in his hand, looking more confused than ever. The crowd saw his reaction, and their impression became worse. He was invited to Sonia’s birthday party, yet he was reading a magazine, locked up in his own world, rather than mingling around with other influential figures to expand his network and co
As the melody ended, the two of them slowed down into the final pose. Sonia leaned back on her waist, her hands around Andrius’ back and her chest pressed against his. Andrius held her by the back of her head with one hand and her waist with the other, his torso slightly leaning forward. The two of them stared at each other. It was beautiful and elegant like a painting. “Great!” “What a splendid dance!” “They are made for each other! Elegant!” “Ms. Timberland…” Thunderous applause sounded across the hall as all the guests cheered on them. At that very moment, they were so captivated by the beautiful dance that they forgot who Andrius and Sonia were. They got carried away and cheered on the two of them wholeheartedly. Sonia blushed as she stared into Andrius’ eyes closely, eventually averting his gaze. Just when she thought Andrius would make another move, he held her up, left, and returned to Luna’s side. Sonia was drowned in complicated feelings. She was both h
Everyone stared at him grudgingly. Andrius was not overly bothered as he continued to play with his phone. “Hey, punk!” Then, a suited bodyguard went up to Andrius, calling him in an unfriendly manner. “Are you calling me?” Andrius looked up and asked. “My boss is looking for you,” the bodyguard said with a grunt before he led the way. Andrius had always been a decisive person who would solve problems with his own hands. Therefore, when he heard someone was looking for him, he ought to answer the call, be it bad or good. He put his phone away and followed the bodyguard away. The two of them exited the hotel. A few minutes later, they arrived in a secluded alleyway. There was someone standing in the shadows with his back showing. “Boss, I’ve brought him here,” the bodyguard said to the figure in the shadows and then stepped aside. The figure turned around. It was none other than Kevin Longtide, the man who got rejected by Sonia earlier in the banquet hall. “P
