Chapter 2281
The two staff members checking invitations nearly jumped out of their skin. "We apologize, Mr. Vargas. We didn't mean to waste your valuable time. Please, go right in!" They were extremely respectful. After all, anyone claiming to have worked at the White Palace as a security advisor, dropping names like Kyrie, Luna, and Philip, was no ordinary guest. Normal people would not even know those connections. Both staff were now 100% convinced that Andrew was one of tonight's most important VIPs. Aspen, walking in as his companion, naturally did not need a second look. Nobody would dare check the woman on the arm of a powerhouse guest. Once they slipped inside the Grand Hall and blended with the crowd, Aspen laughed so hard she nearly doubled over. "Honey, you're unbelievable. Talking about being a White Palace security advisor… You had those guys eating out of your hand!" Andrew laughed along with her. "I used this trick all the time when I was overseas. Alright, now we split u

Aspen looked like a fiery red sprite weaving through the crowd. The Grand Hall had five floors total, with the first and second floors packed with various VIP guests carrying wine glasses and chatting with their elegant female companions. When Aspen appeared alone in the first-floor lobby, someone on the second floor immediately noticed her, his eyes lighting up. "Kyrie, that woman is absolutely stunning! She's such an eye-catcher." Kyrie's subordinate, Noah, was the first to be smitten, licking his lips as he spoke. Kyrie was putting on airs while chatting with a foreigner, speaking broken Westral with the same few phrases over and over. "Oh, yes! Very good! Wonderful!" When he heard Noah's comment, he immediately smiled and excused himself from the foreigner in front of him. Then, his gaze looked downstairs, and he immediately spotted Aspen. "Who's that lady? She doesn't seem like she's from Chetvine," Kyrie said, stroking the short stubble on his chin as excitement rushe

Kyrie felt his throat burning with desire. The temptress before him was playing hard to get, but there was no way she was not interested in him. She was just being a little playful, and it seemed he would need to bring out his best moves to win her over. He said, "Miss, maybe you don't realize who I am. I'm not just a Major General in the military, I'm also from the Harding family." He revealed his identity, feeling confident that everything was now in the bag. Aspen burst into cold laughter. "Oh, I know you're from the Harding family, and I also know you're my husband's enemy." This completely threw Kyrie off balance. He stammered, "W-Wait, hold on a second… What enemy? And you have a husband? Is he here too?" What the hell was going on? What was this woman playing at? Aspen continued casually, "That's right, my husband is right here. General Harding, you're incredibly bold, trying to seduce a married woman at an event like this. If word gets out, what do you think all

Kyrie's face had turned as black as coal. He silently cursed, 'Damn it! That bitch had played me hard and good.' He realized he had been set up in a trap. Yet there was nothing he could say in his defense, especially since the hallway had surveillance cameras that had caught him walking in with Aspen, looking overly intimate, and even trying to touch her afterward. One of the foreigners, Pierre Sanders, said, "Kyrie, just moments ago, I still admired you for your exceptional martial arts skills and noble background. But now, in the eyes of us gentlemen, you're nothing but a complete beast. Fuck you, you bastard!" Pierre cursed outright, which only made Kyrie's rage boil over. He was the real victim here, yet these clueless foreigners dared to insult him. He finally snapped and fired back. "Fuck you, you bald old bastard! Fuck you, and your whole family, too!" Even though Kyrie's accent was thick, Pierre could tell Kyrie was cursing at him. His temper flared as he removed his

Watching Kyrie storm off with that twisted, bitter face, Andrew let out a dismissive laugh. Isabelle's small face showed no expression. "That loser is pathetic. He just dragged the Harding family's name through the mud. Andrew, do you know that woman in the red dress?" Andrew tilted his head to look at the stoic girl. "If I said I didn't, would you believe me?" Isabelle pouted. "Nope." Andrew gave a weary smile. "Since you already saw through it, why bother asking?" Isabelle blinked her big eyes. "I just wanted to make sure. She's pretty, especially her figure. It's way better than mine. I didn't expect that's the type you liked, Andrew." Andrew had no interest in chatting with this girl about such things. "Belle, I need to get busy now, so don't follow me." However, Isabelle was not giving up that easily and asked, "Don't you want to know which room Ezekiel is in? This place is huge, and you'll never find him if you search slowly." Andrew sighed helplessly and asked,

Andrew finally said, "Alright, I can agree to it for now." However, he found it strange and asked, "But you're from the Robertson family. For something small like breast enhancement, there are plenty of people in Chetvine who could help you. Why come to me?" Isabelle's small face turned red as she mumbled shyly, "Because you have a grudge against my family, so you won't tell anyone about this. If I went through my family or found someone else at Sovereign's Apothecary, they would definitely leak this information. By then, how could I show my face in Chetvine?" Andrew nodded, understanding her concern completely. "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. This shows that everyone who thinks you're just an emotionless girl has been completely fooled by you." Isabelle tilted her head. "They call me 'Girl of Three Nothings'. No brains, no chest, nothing at all. But I don't know why, when I'm with you, I feel so relaxed and can tell you anything without worry." She giggled and add

Andrew pulled back the curtains and looked down at an angle. Sure enough, he could see about eight men in black suits wearing sunglasses and carrying weapons, patrolling back and forth. The area they were guarding was the Grand Hall's most luxurious presidential suite. At that moment, Ezekiel was completely naked, swimming in the pool. Isabelle glanced once and quickly looked away, mumbling coldly, "Disgusting!" Andrew, however, observed carefully for several moments. He finally confirmed that the naked man in the pool was indeed Ezekiel, the heir to the Sorya's Tristars Group empire, whom Andrew had only met once many years ago during a mission in Sorya. Ezekiel had quite a legendary reputation in Sorya. He was called the future of Sorya, Sorya's top heartthrob, a military legend, and the fang of Sorya's elite special forces unit, the Polar Tigers. In short, this guy truly enjoyed the praise and admiration befitting a crown prince in Sorya. "Nice body, almost as good as

Andrew did not hesitate and immediately pulled the closet open and slipped inside. Isabelle rushed in right after him and bumped straight into his chest. She cried out, "Ouch! Andrew, move over a little, you're squishing me!" Outside the closet, embarrassingly passionate moans and screams sounded. No matter who heard it, they could tell exactly what was going on. "Oh, baby, come on!" "Oh yeah! Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah!" Andrew was speechless. The space inside the closet was ridiculously cramped, so he and Isabelle had to press tightly against each other just to hide. As his eyes shifted, Andrew noticed that Isabelle was also staring at him, her face flushed red. "Andrew, are they… doing that?" she whispered in his ear. Andrew gave a dry laugh. "Well, most likely, yeah." Isabelle fell quiet. Although she was usually bold and rebellious, she felt shy and embarrassed by the live broadcast happening right outside. After all, she was still just a young lady. Gradually, A

Isabelle glared at him with wide eyes. She snapped, "What misunderstanding? I don't care! Either way, you messed with me, and I can't guarantee I won't spread the word about this." With that, she grabbed her skirt and bolted like lightning. Andrew shook his head and cursed his bad luck under his breath. Then, he pushed aside his distracting thoughts and headed straight to Ezekiel's suite door. He knocked hard on the door, but there was no response from inside. Andrew knocked again, this time louder and more insistent. Suddenly, the door swung open to reveal a bearded face, followed immediately by the dark barrel of a gun pointed straight at him. Andrew's face showed genuine terror as he threw up his hands. In an exaggerated Eastonian accent, he said, "Sorry, sorry!" The bearded man was caught off guard and blurted out in Soryan, "What the hell! We're Soryan, not Eastonian, you idiot!" Suddenly, Andrew's fist shot out like lightning and slammed into the man's forehead.

Aspen recalled Andrew's warning. "High-end safes and lockboxes can't just be tampered with. Unless you know the exact code, the moment you mess with it, you'll likely trip an alarm and give yourself away." She studied the safe in front of her and immediately saw it was top-of-the-line. The digital screen flashed the Tristars Group logo, and next to it was a set of physical buttons. Aspen had come prepared. She pulled out a UV flashlight and scanned the keypad, but her heart sank. Ezekiel had clearly anticipated this because there was not a single fingerprint mark. It was as if no one had ever pressed it with bare hands. That could only mean he always wore gloves when entering the code. Aspen slipped two thin hairpins from her pinned-up hair. The ends were bent into hooks, perfect for lockpicking. She went to work on the safe, but it was no use. The material was rock-solid, and no matter how hard she tried, the door did not budge. Just then, her phone buzzed against her si
