She didn't really want to know his secrets, did she?Heloise felt a sudden shiver, and Reginald raised his hand, his long, bony fingers brushing away a wisp of her hair from her forehead, his fingertips trailing over her delicate skin."Little blighter, welcome to my world of games." There was an almost perverse excitement in his eyes.Heloise suddenly felt a chill. Mr. Wordsworth, she hadn't asked, it was he who had volunteered this information, hadn't he?"Anyone entering my world has to abide by one rule, very simple, and that is... you can only have me."Reginald's finger stopped on her face, his handsome face slowly coming closer to her, planting an icy kiss on her forehead. Heloise's heart pounded from the kiss.His childhood was really miserable, and he was genuinely twisted. Her world had hatred and slums, but not him."Remember that," Reginald's tone was like he was pampering a little pet, with affection and tenderness, yet every word was cruel, "If you forget, the consequenc
Donations? It's not about seeking trouble, is it?"I'm free, I'm free," Coral hastily responded, then hung up the phone. She got excited and jumped up, leaving everyone in the live broadcast room confused.Coral quickly turned off the live stream, rushed downstairs, and instructed her maids, "Hurry and book a spa appointment, a makeup artist, and a stylist for me!"She wanted to look her best when meeting Reginald.Grace was sitting in the living room, tending to a potted plant. She looked at Coral when she heard her and asked, "What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?""Reginald asked me out!" Coral excitedly told Grace. "Mom, he invited me for a meeting this afternoon! He said he wants to discuss a donation!""But didn't he reject you before? Why did he suddenly change his mind and invite you?" Grace found it a bit strange. "Could it be related to the media's silence matter?""It can't be. Would Reginald personally meet someone to cause trouble? He's such a busy person, and I d
Their gazes met through the rain and mist, a distance of several meters.The moment Reginald saw her, his thin lips curled slightly, a gesture he was not even aware of himself.He waved at her as if calling a pet, inviting her to come closer.Heloise walked towards him, with Jane and Harriet incredibly nervous.When she reached him, Reginald grabbed her hand and pulled her from under the guards' umbrellas into his own shelter.She stood close to him, her eyes falling on the photographs on the two tombstones, both of them stunningly beautiful women.Considering how exceptionally handsome Reginald was, his mother and sister could not have been ordinary either."These are my mother and my sister," Reginald said, his gaze still on her, noticing her fascination with the photos. His voice was low and deep as he asked, "Do you know how to offer prayers?"Heloise glanced at him, and Reginald set the umbrella aside, handing it to one of the guards.Then, he enclosed her within his arms, holdin
Reginald's anger flared, and he couldn't believe that after rescuing her from a destitute background, providing for her, and allowing her to act so recklessly, she would dare to plot against him.It was as if she considered him just another piece on her chessboard.His fury intensified, and the storm outside seemed to mirror his turbulent emotions.His outburst had taken Heloise by surprise.She sat there in silence, feeling a mix of confusion and shock.The broken bowl and spilled ginger soup created a mess in the room, while the thunder outside continued to roar.Jane and Harriet wisely kept their distance, cowering in fear, unsure of how to react.It was difficult to understand why Reginald was suddenly so angry and who he was reprimanding.Heloise still sat there in a state of confusion, not knowing what had triggered his rage. she found herself at a loss for words or actions, her expression frozen in a puzzled and stunned manner."You like to play, right? Fine! I'll play with you
"Shut your mouth, I find your voice nauseating," Reginald said with a sinister glance. "Mr. Wordsworth..." What did he mean? He brought her in and then said her voice was nauseating? "Take her to the adjacent room and make sure I don't see her," Reginald ordered the bodyguard who followed him. What? Coral, soaked to the bone, stared in shock and was dragged up from the ground by the bodyguard, who proceeded to pull her towards the adjacent room. Bewildered, she looked at Reginald. "Mr. Wordsworth, what do you mean by this? You invited me, you brought me in, how can you treat a girl like this... Mm-mm." Before she could finish her sentence, the bodyguard forcefully covered her mouth. He pushed her into the adjacent room and, in a hushed tone, said, "Shut up, okay? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" He didn't mind her getting herself killed. Mr. Wordsworth can be quick-tempered, and the bodyguard doesn't want to further bother him. "Mm-mm-mm..." Coral was frustrated to t
"..." This time, she had made a real mistake. "And, if Reginald truly falls for Coral and she discovers your presence, there's a chance she'll play the victim and you might be in danger," Lucas said, his tone growing more serious. "Here's the plan: while Reginald is ignoring you, you need to get to the border quickly. I'll protect you." Revenge could wait. Survival was the priority. "I can't just leave like this," Heloise said. She hadn't come to PHOENIXFELL Capital with the intention of retreating. "Coral has attached herself to Reginald, how can you compete with her?" Lucas frowned. She is too stubborn! Heloise's gaze turned even colder upon hearing this, and she said with unwavering determination, "No one should think they can stand in my way, not even Reginald." If Reginald had truly fallen for her and wanted to be the Brook's benefactor, she would push even that mountain out of her way. She was fearless and determined. "Heloise..." Lucas sighed. "Besides, Coral attachi
Obviously, this group of people is here with malicious intent. Heloise instinctively stood in front of Jane and Harriet. "Ahh!" Coral's friends were frightened by the sudden appearance of these armed individuals. Coral was in the middle of a phone call when she saw this, and she dropped her phone in shock. She stepped back, inadvertently bumping into Heloise. Heloise extended her hand and pushed Coral forward. Coral screamed and bumped into one of the men, who then grabbed her. "Boss, it's her!" he said. "Take her," someone ordered. Heloise quickly realized the situation: it was a kidnapping. Bena, trembling, had hidden to the side and was trying to call the police, but one of the kidnappers pointed at her, saying, "Don't be afraid to die by calling the police!" "Ahh, ahh!" Bena screamed and dropped her phone. Coral was being forcibly taken toward the vehicle, shouting, "What are you doing? Don't take me! My boyfriend is Reginald Wordsworth!" "Humph, if you weren't Reginald
He casually flicked the silver fork in his hand backward, with fierce tiger-claw tattoos. The silver fork pierced through the tablecloth and into the solid wood tabletop, standing there defiantly. Everyone was stunned, instinctively reaching for their own necks, feeling uneasy. Fortunately, the fork wasn't aimed at them. Ben stood there in a daze for quite some time before hurrying to catch up. Mr. Wordsworth's face... did it change too quickly?" …… The black car raced forward recklessly, and sirens were already blaring outside. Inside the car, several dark gun muzzles were pointed directly at them. Jane and Harriet shielded Heloise in the middle, forcefully pushing Coral away and even giving her a kick, "Shameless, pulling our miss into this mess." Heloise sat in silence as the car jolted. Coral, held by two kidnappers, was trembling in fear, "Please don't take me. Let me go, I'll give you as much money as you want." "Money?" the leader of the kidnappers sneered, "We dare t
