"Today, the Peak Summit Conference was established. I ordered a cake to celebrate with the members. This is the first slice. I brought it back. Do you want to have some?" Heloise squatted there, looking at him calmly, and said lightly.
At the mention, Reginald's gaze paused, his voice slightly husky, "You want to share your success with me."
Share?
Heloise was taken aback. No, she was just worried that he would be upset about what happened during the day and thought it wouldn't hurt to be a little attentive. But she didn't know what to buy. Abel bought the cake, so she... just took a slice.
She didn't deny it.
Reginald extinguished his cigarette in the nearby ashtray and looked at the cake in her hand with a determined gaze. Suddenly, his expression turned cloudy.
A faint curve formed on his thin lips. "It seems I misunderstood."
She was so eager to share her success with him. How could she think of escaping from him?
She loved
"Abel and the brothers spent two days cleaning up before finally putting up wallpaper, hanging the emblem and sign, barely making it look like a student organization.The sunlight streamed in through the small gridded windows, not warm but at least allowing for some air circulation.A camel-colored conference table was set up.Heloise sat at the head playing on her phone, listening to the chatter below."This time, I went early to get used to the competition venue, only to realize that all those so-called elite competitions were fake. I heard someone won the international Seychelles award before, thinking it was impressive. But when I went this time, goodness, it was all people from the Talent Society. Apart from them, it's similar student organizations from abroad."Gavin, a chubby guy, expressed his indignation, "So what were the previous competitions? Just hand the awards directly to the Talent Society."Abel, sitting nearby with his legs
"At Mr. Wordsworth's, taming horses is always exhilarating. No matter how wild the horse, once it's under Mr. Wordsworth's control, it behaves just as he wants.""Indeed, every time Mr. Wordsworth appears, I dare not approach. I'm afraid the horse arena will turn into a battlefield, with bloodshed all around.""Mr. Wordsworth looks tired, let him come down."One by one, they stepped forward eagerly, wanting to help the person dismount.Sitting atop the horse was Reginald. He glanced coldly at the people below, then elegantly swung his long legs and dismounted, tossing the reins to Ben, who had been waiting nearby.Reginald took off his gloves and helmet, throwing them aside, ignoring the group of people, and headed straight for the large umbrella ahead.Seated under the umbrella was the President, dressed in a white shirt with a vest, looking at a tablet in his hand. When he saw Reginald approaching, he immediately gestured for a servant bes
"That was the match won by that transfer student with all sorts of tricks. What does it have to do with you?" Fred said confidently, apparently forgetting about his own attempts to obtain test questions in advance and steal the opponent's design ideas.Tricia looked at him with a sorrowful gaze. "What I fear most now is the Peak Summit Conference winning the third match again. If that happens, Spicy ThankGod will definitely bring up what was said at the student council meeting and demand the dissolution of the Talent Society.""The Talent Society has always held a high position in the public's eye, with a long history. Once dissolved, it would be equivalent to admitting that the Talent Society is just a golden opportunity for the offspring of the tycoons. This would not only affect us but also the predecessors who came from here.""At that time, Fred, do you think those predecessors will spare me?"Tricia's voice was bitterly cold. "I think my outcome can
Immediately, Heloise walked towards the door, her eyes filled with a murderous intent staring at the closed door in front of her."Bang, bang..."Before the third knock could sound, she suddenly opened the door, moving forward to loop her arm around the person's neck.The person grabbed the belt in her hand, his fingers long and distinct, with a fierce tattoo on the back of his hand, and his angular features exuding dominance.Heloise froze.The man leaned against the door frame with one hand, clad in black clothes, leaning slightly at the doorway, his tall and imposing figure casting a shadow that seemed to engulf her.He slowly lifted his face, hidden under the duckbill cap, from behind the hand holding the belt, and glanced at her with a pair of narrow gray eyes, unusually eerie, with deep creases extending to the corners of his eyes, exuding a seductive charm. His magnetic voice carried a hint of mockery as he said, "What's this, are you
"..."Normally composed, Heloise was now feeling a bit disoriented, unsure of how to respond. She had never encountered a situation like this before.Sighing from outside, Agatha asked, "Sis Heloise, are you there? Taking a shower? Can I come in and sit for a while?"As soon as she heard Agatha's hand reaching for the door handle, Heloise froze, quickly speaking up, "Don't... um, don't come in."Meanwhile, Reginald turned his face to kiss her neck, his tongue mischievously licking the delicate skin beneath her lips.Feeling tingles throughout her body from his actions, Heloise's words came out twisted, sounding more like moans and groans.Raising an eyebrow, Reginald observed Heloise, who was usually composed even in the face of death, now blushing and looking flustered, her confusion evident in her eyes. This was a stark contrast to her usual demeanor, which seemed detached from worldly desires.Reginald found this change amusing and
He said so much to her, and she didn't understand any of it? She's in a precarious situation now, surrounded by danger. If she wants to safely pass through tomorrow's ordeal, she needs to ask him for help. Heloise glanced at him inexplicably, then thought for a moment before sitting up from his embrace. "I should plan for tomorrow's competition again, can't afford any mistakes." In this third round, she must come out on top. Reginald sat there, watching her rise. The locks of his black hair, coiled around his forehead, slipped away and fell, as if a piece of him had suddenly vanished from his chest. As Heloise got off the bed to retrieve her laptop from the sofa, she hadn't even touched the computer bag when she heard a "bang" sound. Turning back, she saw her phone, which had been placed on the bed, thrown to the ground by Reginald. His face was livid. "..." Heloise looked at him somewhat inexplicably. "What's wrong?"
Agatha stood up from the couch, took a deep breath, and said, "Seeing you so relaxed, Sis Heloise, makes me feel much better suddenly. I think I can handle today's competition well.""...?"Just by calling her a duck, Heloise smoothed out Agatha's nervousness.What kind of logic was this?Heloise wanted to explain but eventually gave up and said, "Well, let's get ready. We need to head to the arena.""Okay."Abel and Agatha both nodded solemnly....The International Seychelles Competition was held at the local Museum of Science and Technology. Due to the buildup of excitement from the previous two matches, this time, there were quite a few media outlets present.Heloise and her team arrived fashionably late, walking into the vast technological museum under the gaze of many eyes.As soon as they entered, the air conditioning blew icy cold air, making them shiver.The competition took place in the high-rise,
"..."The journalists fell silent.Calling someone a "dog" and a "damn dog" seemed oddly endearing, giving the impression that Mr. Wordsworth was indeed a dog lover.As the "damn dog" herself, Heloise couldn't help feeling helpless upon hearing this. After Reginald uttered those words, he walked towards the audience seats, sitting four rows behind her.As soon as he sat down, Ben immediately led his people to clear the entire row of spectators.Elevated.Supreme.From start to finish, Reginald didn't even glance in her direction.Heloise withdrew her gaze and sent a message to Reginald on her phone.[Heloise: Why are you here? Your presence alone ensures that the Peak Summit Conference can't escape attention. You've lost the bet with yourself.]Reginald's influence far surpassed that of top-tier celebrities. With his appearance, it was easy to imagine that today's headlines would be dominated by this competition.
"......" Heloise gave him a speechless look. Distracted for a moment, her character on the screen was shot in the head by Reginald, dying a heroic death.Reginald had aimed for this outcome. He turned to look at her, his mischievous gaze wandering up and down. "Strip."Today, he had suddenly proposed a game where for every round lost, she had to remove an article of clothing, with a one-hour time limit.Heloise didn't want to play, but he had persistently pestered her, not allowing her to do anything else until they played for an hour and only then would he let her go to the study to do her own work."......" Heloise straightforwardly took off her shoes, leaving her feet bare on the carpet.This wasn’t the effect he wanted.Reginald glanced at her small, fair feet and reached out to adjust the air conditioning to a higher temperature.The next round began.Heloise focused on the screen, maneuvering the controller with pre
"Suspect what?"Reginald wiped his hands with a hot towel, seeming to ask casually, as if he didn't care."With her abilities, it would be easier for her to make a mark in other circles. Yet she chose to endure hardships in the Legal Affairs Committee, where the network is already established. She’s been there for two months, and although she rose quickly, she's still just an assistant," Benjamin said."On one hand, she's willing to endure these hardships, and on the other hand, she's able to cultivate people under her into prominent figures in various fields in a short period. Do you think she has a grand ambition?"Those in high positions naturally have their sensitivities.Even though he admired Heloise, Benjamin couldn't help but think more deeply.Such a perceptive girl wouldn't do meaningless things; she must have her own calculations. She propels these people to become figures in various fields, and with more experience, they co
Someone passed by and first looked at her, screaming, with eyes that suggested she was crazy. Then, upon seeing the snake, they quickly fled.Why!Why couldn't she get close to Reginald? Why wasn't she the one to receive Reginald's special attention?She couldn't accept this outcome! She couldn't!She sat on the ground, tears quickly welling up, streaming down her face, overwhelmed with despair.…Ever since she had that candid conversation with Reginald on the football field, Heloise had become increasingly focused on her work in the Legal Affairs Committee.Heloise tackled each task with enthusiasm, consistently completing them with excellence. During this time, some colleagues tried to sabotage her, but she cleverly deflected their attempts. Similarly, higher-ups tested her abilities, but she passed each challenge with flying colors.Soon enough, everyone in the Legal Affairs Committee knew of her. Her path to promoti
Just as she finished typing, Heloise was suddenly embraced from behind by a pair of strong arms. Reginald leaned in from behind, his thin lips touching her ear, tracing along the contours of her earlobe, before suddenly taking it into his mouth and lightly licking it with the tip of his tongue.Heloise was tingling all over from his actions, wanting to break free but held tightly by him.Reginald's kisses quickly trailed over her neck and face, finally locking onto her lips with a strong possessiveness, probing deep, intimate, and ambiguous.He pressed his forehead against hers and hoarsely said, "Let me think."Heloise looked at him somewhat puzzled. What did he mean by letting him think? What was he thinking about?Perhaps because he had just showered, his eyes appeared unusually deep and moist under the light.It reminded her of the time at BlueWolf Mountain when a dolphin, accidentally washed ashore by the sea, lay there barely breathing
His voice carried a bewildering power, like a subtle electric current piercing through one's eardrums and directly into the heart.Heloise sat there, captivated by his voice, intimidated by his gaze, her mind momentarily blank.He said he would ensure all her affairs were smooth and worry-free for life. What a touching statement.Growing up, she had never received such a weighty promise.Heloise admitted to herself that she had been captivated. A hot wind passed before her eyes as she stared fixedly at Reginald in front of her.Behind him, the twilight light burst forth with vivid colors, suddenly breaking through."What, speechless from being moved?" Reginald looked at her, chuckling softly.Heloise looked at him. If she followed his temperament, she should express gratitude for being moved, or at least say thank you.But suddenly, she felt that continuing this way was not right."Thank you, Reginald," Heloise looked at
Reginald stood up from the ground, delivering heartless words.Tricia sat on the ground, her heart wrenched by his words.He couldn't produce any evidence to prove that she intentionally incited those people to target Heloise. Yet, despite this, he almost killed her for Heloise. She had risked her life for him!"Brother, has she ever saved you?" Tears streamed down her face as she asked softly.Reginald turned, buttoning his cuff and reaching for the watch on the table. His movement paused at her words before he put on the watch."How much has she sacrificed for you? Why is she the only one for you?" Tricia questioned as she watched his back.The only one for you.Reginald had never thought of those four words. To him, he was simply interested in Heloise. Every aspect of her fit his taste.Her presence filled the loneliness he had endured for over a decade. Was she really the only one for him?If it were someone else...
"Brother, wait for me." Tricia glanced at Heloise and softly called out, catching up to Reginald and brushing his arm with her finger.Reginald glanced at her sideways but didn't stop, continuing forward. Tricia walked alongside him.Heloise stood still, quietly watching the backs of the two, feeling a faint sense of strangeness pass through her heart. Her expression remained calm, showing little emotion.Is this going to be alright? It really caught her off guard.She thought that Tricia chasing after Reginald would take as long as rebuilding the slums.Once Reginald left, the guards followed suit, leaving the office to them.Heloise withdrew her gaze, carrying the documents into the office and sitting at her desk, ready to work. She tried to start her computer, but it showed a black screen.Heloise was annoyed. She clicked the mouse a couple of times, and large blocky characters began to flash on the screen."Miss me?"
"No."Reginald held her tightly.Heloise gritted her teeth and shrunk her body, slipping out from his arms.Reginald attempted to catch her, but failed. Irritated, he reached for her, pulling her towards him and kissing her forcefully. "If you don't want to sleep, then don't sleep. Let's continue playing."Heloise still wanted to break free, but Reginald pulled her back onto the bed and started fooling around with her.…In the office, colleagues remembered her heroic act of catching snakes and, understandingly, ceased their antagonism. This made Heloise's internship path particularly smooth.Her documents were impeccable, and there wasn't a single mistake in the legal texts she handled, which left her superiors very satisfied."This document contains the latest perfected laws for the slums. Once you've organized and verified it, we can make it public."The leader handed her a document.Heloise accepted it,
“Don't worry, I won't engage in such petty behaviors.”Another person expressed their stance to Heloise.“You saved us today. I'll keep an eye out for you from now on, making sure Adam and the others don't dare to act out again,” said several people around Heloise.“…”What's going on with these people? Weren't they trying to curry favor with her? How did they suddenly change sides in such a short time?Tricia stood there, her expression grim.Heloise sat calmly, raising her eyes to Tricia and giving a nonchalant “Oh.”Everyone followed her gaze to Tricia, and there was a moment of stiffness. This incident was somewhat related to Tricia, but she hadn't instructed them to go after Heloise.The atmosphere felt strangely tense.Soon, someone laughed nervously. “Tricia, you're back! You were lucky you weren't here earlier. Suddenly, the office was filled with snake
