After saying that, Reginald clasped the back of her head with one hand and lowered his head right over her lips, dominating and forcefully kissing his way into her lips.Her mouth was full of the bitter flavor of beer, but it was like poppies that made him addicted.Originally, Reginald was meant to taste it lightly, but he couldn't let go of the kiss, sucking on her lips with more abandon, as if he was devouring everything she had to offer.Heloise stared fixedly at his sharp frown, her mind going blank, as if she felt she should resist, but then she didn't feel so bad.His lips were cool and comforting.Heloise licked them unconsciously, and was rewarded with more furious treatment.Finally, Heloise's neck was sore from the kisses and she struggled away from him.Reginald sat behind her, his breath uneven as he stared at her, his thumb running across his own lips, a cannibalistic light flashed through his off-gray eyes.It was just her.Reginald heard the voice in his own mind.Helo
"There is something wrong with the lady here, and if you don't keep a good eye on her, how are you going to report it to Mr. Wordsworth, if she rushes into the lake one day?" Ben reprimanded again, pointing to his head.Heloise followed Reginald step by step down the stairs.It seemed, did they think she had had a psychotic seizure and wandered on the soccer field and picked up beer cans to drink?She remembered that there were some beer cans left by spectators by the dumpster inside the soccer field, and it was very logical to have that conjecture.But ......Heloise glanced up at the man holding her hand in front of her, his back as a mist in her eyes.He was Reginald, the president of the PHOENIXFELL Empire's first consortium. He really couldn't see through her, could he?Seeing Reginald leading Heloise down, Jane and Harriet almost rolled and crawled forward in the living room, crying, "Young Master, it's all our fault, we didn't take good care of Miss, please spare us this time,
The steps in front of the main entrance of the house were covered with a thick white shag carpet.Pale pink flower petals crumbled down on it.Reginald was sitting on one side of the carpet, wearing an ink-colored shirt, with the collar's buttons casually unbuttoned, revealing his bronze-colored skin, his long, slender legs stretched out in front of him, a tablet PC in one hand, reading information, and one hand resting on the body of the person beside him.Heloise was lying on the long steps, her head resting on his lap, reading a newspaper in her hand upside down.His hand rubbed her face every now and then.Yet again, they didn't bother each other.The sun shone down in front of the vintage house, both of them were sitting on the doorstep, one lying down and the other sitting, with hyacinth bud petals at their feet, some of the meaning of the quiet and beautiful time.But Heloise was forced, she was hard pressed on the head by Reginald to lie on his lap.He was masterful and impude
Brady sat there, a hint of cunning in his eyes. "After this incident, I've come to understand that regardless of whether Spicy Thank God is Heloise or not, she can only stir up trouble with the support of the ThankGod’s family at the border. So, as long as our Brook’s family's influence is greater, what do we have to fear from the ThankGod’s family?" What was the best way to deal with enemies? It should be to elevate oneself first. "I understand this principle, of course. At my birthday banquet, there were so many children of high-ranking officials. Did any of them step forward to help me? Weren't they all afraid of the ThankGod’s family?" Even Darnell, when she poured out her grievances to him, was willing but powerless. "So honey, I have decided to help you make your dream come true. You want to marry Reginald, don't you?" Brady looked at her. Grace sat by, eating grapes, and when she heard this, she nearly choked on a grape. These two, father and daughter, had big ambitions, e
Lucas naturally knew, "Faye Roberts' paintings are unrivaled in the world, impossible to imitate, and she's recognized as the most outstanding oil painting master today, without a doubt. The Turquoise Award competition was initiated by her, and she favored turquoise to name the grand prize. Two years ago, she suddenly disappeared, and there's been no trace of her since. Her paintings are priceless."That's all true."Hmm," Heloise replied indifferently. "Do you remember the elderly lady at BlueWolf Mountain with a disfigured face and severed hands?""I remember. I heard she had an accident that led to her condition, and since she had no children and was all alone, she was brought to BlueWolf Mountain and became a member of the slums," Lucas's voice came through the computer."She is Faye Roberts, the one who forced me to study oil painting for three years," Heloise said.So, she had no fear of the current Turquoise Award winner; the founder of the Turquoise Award was her teacher."Wha
She reached for the handrail, but Reginald pushed her away.Dammit.Fine.If she had to die, she'd die with him.A glint of coldness flashed in Heloise's eyes. At the moment when she was about to be sucked out of the car, she used all her strength to turn and throw herself into Reginald's arms, holding onto his waist tightly with both hands.Reginald's chest shook from her impact. He lowered his gaze and saw Heloise's head buried in his chest; her soft curves pressed against him.The car shook, and she bumped into him.Reginald's body tensed, and he looked down at her, his gaze growing deep and ambiguous.This woman always managed to tempt him at just the right moments.The next moment, he raised his hand to force her to look up.Then, in the car, he didn't hesitate and kissed her passionately, capturing her soft lips and devouring them without any restraint. His desire for her was evident in his eyes.“……”Heloise was completely stunned and tried to resist, but he wouldn't let her go
Coral watched from afar and felt her heart stop beating. She unconsciously tightened her grip on Brady's arm.Brady looked at her and said, "A young lady should carry herself with grace. After winning the Turquoise Award, you might not even need to approach him. He might come to you on his own.""Yes!"Coral nodded vigorously.When she won the championship and stood in the spotlight, Reginald would naturally see her.Suddenly, Reginald turned around and reached into the car.Coral's heart skipped a beat. Then, a slender, delicate hand emerged, resting in his palm.Reginald directly led the person out of the car. It was a tall, slender figure, and their back matched perfectly with his.The media became even more frantic to capture the moment. Coral tried to get a better look at the person behind them, but Reginald was already walking towards the art gallery, accompanied by several organizers who shielded them from view.The figure in the black dress remained elusive, and not even the r
"Golden Cloud Hotel" were now trigger words for Coral, and the moment she heard them, her hair stood on end, making her feel uncomfortable as if a hundred insects were biting her from inside her body.She glared at Heloise with resentment, saying, "Stop pretending in front of me. I know you're Heloise, not 'Spicy ThankGod.' I will take off your mask sooner or later.""Is that so?" Heloise shot her a cold glance, "I'll be watching for that.""Cough, cough." Brady sat on Heloise's side with a stern expression, cleared his throat a few times, and said with a sly smile, "Heloise, you didn't even say 'hello' when you saw Dad?""Who are you? Daddy?" Heloise looked at him, appearing bewildered.Why would a father send his daughter to a place like that slum?Brady's face stiffened, and he gazed at her. "Heloise, no matter what, I've raised you for eighteen years. I don't expect anything in return, but I hope you'll find time to come home.""Dad..." Coral was annoyed. Why was he being so polit
"......" 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
