“How exclusive?” Cold Yulan walked towards the living room sofa, feeling tired. Even if she could endure, her precious child couldn’t.
“In ways you can imagine,” Lifanya Leight said with hostility.
Cold Yulan glanced at the three women, most satisfied with Lifanya Leight’s response. “Not bad. The Leight family’s reputation is well-deserved.”
“Who are you?” Eugène asked sternly, seeing Cold Yulan sit on the sofa as if at home.
“Don’t…” Chong started to speak but stopped at Cold Yulan’s signal.
“Me? I’m the master of this place.”
“You’re the master?” the three women and the housekeeper asked in shock.
“Yes! I’m the sister of the master you speak of, so naturally, I’m the master here.” Seeing their shock, she breathed a sigh of relief. Secretly, she thought, Let me play with you, my new toys.
[Volume 2: 7, Banquet]
Night, Haleigh Leight’s Villa
The banquet hall was brightly lit and luxuriously decorated. Men in sharp suits and beautifully dressed women moved back and forth, conversing. They displayed their most elegant and dignified demeanor.
Aren’t I giving you a chance to meet beautiful women?” Bi Yue Te Henry said with a teasing expression.
“You guy.” Helai Bo Laite punched his friend, but the genuine smile on his face told everyone the punch wasn’t hard.
“Hey, Helai Bo, how is it? After looking for so long, found anyone you like?”
“What? Did my mom hire you as a spy?” Helai Bo picked up the wine glass from the nearby table.
“Madam, it’s all for your own good. You should settle down quickly. You’re driving me crazy,” Bi Yue Te Henry said with a pitiful expression.
“Annoyed? Aren’t you the best at handling women? Or are the recent rumors true that you’ve been bewitched by a woman and frequently appearing at various parties just to see her?” Helai Bo Laite teased.
Bi Yue Te Henry drank his wine in one gulp, saying bitterly, “So you know about this.”
“Do you think there’s anything in our circle that I don’t know?”
“True.”
Helai Bo Laite looked at his dejected friend and said, “Look, anything tonight? If there is, tell me. Whoever you’ve set your eyes on must be a stunning beauty!”
