Coral held the champagne in one hand and elegantly looked at Heloise, her beautiful eyes carrying strangeness, "Madam, it seems we don't know each other, right?"A hush immediately rose from the group of guests.The rich kids who had just struggled to strike up a conversation with Heloise were even more eager to disappear at once, feeling humiliated."It’s a real slap in the face, isn’t it?" Bena looked at Heloise triumphantly.A slap in the face? Wait to see.Heloise stuck her hands casually in her jacket pockets and rolled her eyes."What?"Coral asked in mock surprise.One of her friends beside her immediately said, "Coral, you don't know, this woman sneaked into the Golden Cloud Hotel, and even stole something at your birthday banquet to try to cheat food and drink. How ridiculous it is! ""Yeah, she's still eating even after I exposed her, and she's not afraid of filling herself up to death."Bena said mockingly."What’s wrong with the management of Golden Cloud Hotel, which actu
"What if I don't take it off?"Heloise asked calmly in return."You're not getting out of here today without taking the clothes off, you are a thief!" Bena glared at her and said, "You must take them off!""If I take it off and there's nothing there, are you going to get down on your knees and apologize to me?"Heloise looked at her coldly askance and didn't break away from Bena's hand."I ......"Bena was a little hesitant.Seeing this, Coral was a bit annoyed that Bena didn't do things decisively. She must make sure to take Heloise's jacket off, and when that time came to reveal the electronic locks on her wrists, everyone would know that Heloise had come out of the slums. And then Heloise would be dead before she didn't take any action.With this in mind, Coral reached for her ear, took off her pearl earring and quietly threw it into the crowd, then let out an "oops", "Why is my earring gone? They were given to me by my mom. Can you please help me find them?"Her voice was petite a
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately withdrew several steps back as if they had been warned of a contagious virus, reaching out to cover their noses as if Heloise stank.Bena was shocked again and hurriedly dropped the jacket in her hand on the ground, almost crying out.She had actually touched the slut from the slums and felt going to die.Someone thought of something, and said, "Yeah, those who escape from the slums have electronic locks on their hands. Coral, you were just going to see if she had that lock on her hand, right?"At that, the crowd once again focused their eyes on Heloise's hand.That's right.The lace on her wrist was too deliberately tied, and besides, they had never seen such a kind of binding, it looked too strange.Heloise stood there, looking at the way the crowd avoided it, and looked at Coral with a cold smile, "Ms. Brady, you're really interesting. One moment ago you said I was a thief, and next moment you said I was from the slums. What exactly do you in
However, its background was not permitted to be underestimated by anyone, and it was said that Thank God's property was so tremendous that the clan was practically the king ruling the national border.Coral looked at Heloise in dismay, "You dare to say that you are a member of the ThankGod family?"Had Heloise been driven mad?Couldn't she be so naïve that she had thought that she would have a new identity and wouldn't have to go back to the slums by telling a lie this way, could she?Heloise stood there, unmoving, looking at Coral without a hint of weakness on her face."No, you guys, the dress she's wearing is designed in Abby's style, and a person from the slums doesn’t deserve to wear Abby's brand clothes." Someone whispered from the side."Could it possibly be a reproduction of Abby’s brand?""It can't be. How does this stitch and this manufactured craft look like a reproduction?""Could it be that she's really from the Clan ThankGod?""I've ever told you that the temperament on
"Understood, I'll immediately ask the security guards to surround the venue."James dared not to be sloppy and careless, he hurriedly sent people to besiege this birthday banquet.The crowd was in an uproar, looking at each other in disbelief.What was going on?Coral looked confused. What was wrong? Did James really believe Heloise's bullshit?Heloise was welcomed into Coral's dressing room by James, a large projection was pulled down, connected to the video, and James led the men out.Heloise was the only one left in the dressing room.The lights gradually dimmed.The projection screen gradually lit up, in the luxurious and atmospheric study, a young handsome man around thirty years old was sitting in front of the mahogany desk, who was Lucas, the president of the ThankGod's family.As soon as he saw her, Lucas laughed cheerfully, "I knew it was you Heloise, you actually did leave BlueWolf Mountain."The ThankGod’s family was extremely secretive to the outside world, but in reality,
"Heloise, I ......"Lucas felt guilty once again. Although he had a huge family, he couldn't save her from trouble."I'll take care of my own business. You owe me a favor to save your life. Pay it back today."Heloise clapped her hands and stood up from the couch, begging for favors without any semblance of kindness.Lucas, however, smiled, not angry at all.He liked Heloise's nature; she was frank, direct, never false.......Coral and the crowd waited where they were, while Bena was over there with her hands folded and the words on her lips, "Bless her for not being some sort of the ThankGod's savior. God bless me, God bless me, God bless me."Everybody was sure that Heloise wasn't.How could Heloise be Lucas' savior after spending three years in such a shabby, dirty, and awful place as the slums in BlueWolf mountain?The crowd was speculating when Heloise finally came out over there.Ben also followed and looked over, hiding himself in the crowd, seeing Heloise walking this way, th
"Your daughter is not offending me, but she's annoying Miss ThankGod."James said."Miss ThankGod?"Brady looked at Heloise suspiciously, her face looked like Heloise anyway."Miss ThankGod is the savior of the Clan ThankGod's president, Mr. Lucas ThankGod, and is a great benefactor to the entire Clan ThankGod’s family, but what about your precious daughter? She was humiliating Miss ThankGod in public without even a word of apology." James tilted his chin in an aggressive manner.Did she do a great favor to the entire Clan ThankGod’s family?Brady looked at James' expression, clearly convinced that this should not be wrong, but how could ......Brady looked straight at Heloise, his eyes fell on her bronzed and slender wrist, on which there was only a jade bracelet.Back then, he had watched with his own eyes as the authorities put an electronic lock on her wrist, which ordinary people simply couldn't open at all.Could it be that the person in front of him really wasn't Heloise, but j
"Let go of me!"Coral was clutched backwards and her whole body fell back, her scalp tingling with pain."What's Ms. Coral so excited about? Oh, it's the birthday cake you haven't eaten yet, right? Here, I'll treat you."Heloise smiled a pure and harmless smile, then slapped the uneaten cake in her hand onto her delicately made-up face and slowly wiped it away."Ah !!!!!"Coral screamed out of control at the cake smashed in her face, her hands scrambling to wipe it off her face."Miss ThankGod, isn't this too much?" Brady stepped forward in distress.Heloise glanced up at him and said slowly, "Oops, my hand slipped.""......"Did she call that a slip of the hand?Brady's face turned blue, but there was nothing he could do about it, since he had made up his mind not to cross the border with the entire Clan ThankGod, the only thing he could do was to continue to tolerate his anger.Coral, who had never been so humiliated before, had tears pouring down her face, which washed away her mak
"......" 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
