Everyone was gorgeously dressed in the banquet hall and the atmosphere was lively. When Luke and Bianca suddenly appeared, there was a brief silence before an uproar followed. The noise almost drowned out the music flowing in the luxurious hall.The people at the banquet were all influential people. Even though there were many handsome men and beautiful women, none of them were as perfectly matched as the couple that just appeared. That was because they were a rare sight to see, so the moment they appeared, they stole the hearts and breaths of many people.The man had short black hair and was wearing a clean white tuxedo with diamond-studded platinum cuffs, which was very exquisite.In front of his slender neck, he also had a black silk bow tie that elongated his tall figure further. He looked incredibly handsome.The man in front of everyone made the ordinary tuxedo look even more elegant, especially with those energetic eyes of his that were as deep as the sea and as cold as ice.
The air in the banquet hall suddenly became tense with Wayne's sudden appearance.Wayne was stunned for only a second and instantly reacted. His wild eyes unrestrainedly sized Luke up and down.Wayne quickly hid his killing intention in the bottom of his eyes and reached his hand out to Luke. "Young Master Luke."This time, Luke did not refuse. The two strong hands clasped together tightly with a shake. "Young Master Wayne."One of them was cold and handsome, while the other one was unruly and unrestrained, creating a stark contrast between the two of them.This was the second time Luke and Wayne were meeting one another in person. The two men made eye contact and contended silently.It felt as though the surrounding music was their background music.Wayne was secretly surprised. When he shook hands with Luke two years ago, his handshake was not as strong. However, it seemed like the man was about to crush the bones in his palm now. He wondered why there had been such a big chan
The second floor.Julie rubbed her bottom. She felt as if her tailbone had shattered from the fall. She looked at the man who was arrogantly looking down at her with horror in her eyes.His body that could be compared to Schwarzenegger was like a big moving mountain.When his entire body covered her sight, she could not see anything else but his solid muscles that overlapped each other, bulging in her sight. It was simply appalling."Hey you, what did you just hear?" Wayne stared at Julie without moving, and from the nervousness in her eyes, it was clear that she had heard a lot.Julie raised her right hand and braced herself as she swore stiffly, "I-I didn't hear anything... Really... I promise... No, I swear. I just happened to be passing by. If I’m lying, I swear I’ll be struck by lightning!”She did not know who this rough and wild man in front of her was, but everyone at this banquet today was someone influential.Although he was wearing casual clothes like a thug, she coul
Bianca seemed to have felt Julie’s gaze and turned her head around to look at her. Bianca’s gaze landed on Julie.She froze slightly.She had not seen Julie for a long time and did not expect that she would meet her here at the banquet.Julie was dressed extravagantly and luxuriously. Her gown was cinched at the waist with a large skirt inlaid with countless shiny diamond crystals. From a glance, she could tell that it was a customized dress from a big brand.In addition to that, from what she knew about Julie's pay, she should not be able to afford such a high-fashion dress.Julie saw how Bianca was sizing her up and felt as if Bianca was scrutinizing her while looking at her disdainfully. It made Julie's face turn burning hot.She felt that even though she was wearing a fancy dress, she was still an ugly duckling with an inferiority complex. She felt ashamed of herself as she stood in front of the elegant white swan, Bianca.Bianca let go of Luke's arm and softly said somethin
The second floor of the banquet hall.Outside the shooting room.Vincent stood at the railing with his hands in his pockets, looking at Wayne who was approaching him. He reprimanded unhappily, "Wayne, how many times do I have to tell you to go abroad and lay low first until this whole thing blows over? Why don't you listen to me? And why did you deliberately provoke Luke? I heard that he’s secretly investigating the attack and the truth about the plane crash. There’ll eventually be a slip up among the hundreds of secrets. You don't know how scary he is because you haven't fought him head-on before!"Wayne stopped in front of him and laughed grimly. "Oh, Vincent, you're making a big deal out of it. Why do you love making groundless accusations? I said I’d handle everything perfectly. He'll never find out the truth. And even if he does, his clues will only lead him to the scapegoats."Vincent waved his hand at him and spoke firmly. "Wayne, you mustn't be too conceited, or you'll even
Inside a luxurious hotel.In a luxurious suite.The drug in Bianca's body was controlling her mind and she could not even think straight anymore. She was in a heavy daze with no idea what day it was, let alone who the man she was entangled with was.The dryness and heat in her body almost drove her crazy.The only way she could relieve the discomfort a little was to press it against his body and desperately cater to him.The night was late, and the two of them were only getting more deeply entangled with each other. Things were becoming more and more intense.When the sun started to brighten up the sky, the drug’s effects in Bianca's body gradually dissipated and she fell asleep from extreme exhaustion.…The next day, when Bianca woke up in the hotel room, it was close to noon.Right after she woke up, she felt a tearing pain from between her legs that almost made her stifle a scream.The pain was so intense that Bianca's heart surged with panic.The image of her last night
Bianca walked aimlessly in the street with a mournful look.Those big eyes of hers that were always clear and pure were covered with a dark shadow.In the bustling city, there was traffic on both sides, and she was lost in her thoughts. She did not even look at the traffic lights, much less the cars.She was like a wandering soul as she crossed the road without looking.A speeding black car immediately braked when the driver saw Bianca suddenly crossing the road.A driver with a big head rolled down the window and yelled at Bianca, "Damn you, woman! Can't you see that it's a red light for pedestrians? Are you blind? I can’t believe I’m so f*cking unlucky to meet a crazy woman!"The cold wind and the driver's insults floated to Bianca's ears.She acted as if she did not hear it, but a few teardrops slid down from the corners of her eyes.After coming out of the hotel, Bianca did not know where to go. Without her realizing it, she walked to the center of A City—Pearl Tower.The
When she heard the familiar sound of the sports car engine, Bianca knew that it was Luke who was back.She jerked her head up like a startled bird.Luke's tall figure slowly walked in her direction with his back against the sunlight.He was still as dazzling as ever.When he saw Bianca staring at him in a daze, Luke's sexy Adam’s apple moved slightly. He was focused on her beautiful but pale face.He did not say anything to her and just smiled at her. After that, he stretched out his strong arms to hug her into his chest as usual.However, this close proximity caused her to tense up for no reason.The guilt, fear, and anxiety in her heart were like an electric current that instantly shot to her limbs, making all of her nerves tense up as well.The more she tried to control her emotions, the more they betrayed her. She could not hold her tears in anymore and they were about to burst out of her eyes.Bianca's body trembled slightly.She looked at Luke's handsome face and wanted
