The slap instantly shocked everyone there. Several people froze completely while staring at Mireya in disbelief. Even the beautiful assistant herself covered her burning cheek in shock, clearly unable to believe she had just been slapped publicly. “M-Manager…” she muttered weakly, her voice trembling. “Did you not hear what I said?” Mireya barked. “Quickly swipe his card and apologize to him right now!” ​The assistant’s face instantly turned pale. At that moment, looking at Mireya's frantic expression, she finally realized something was terribly wrong. Immediately, Mireya turned back toward Kael, her posture bending low as her expression became deeply respectful once more. ​“I’m truly sorry for what happened here tonight, sir. I'm Mireya Arden, the General Manager of Elythrine Galerie. Would you perhaps like to follow me to the VIP office for a private discussion or anything else you may need?” Kael shook his head. “No, time is already being wasted enough, just swipe the card s

Chapter 13Magnus repeated, his voice trembling. That was the multi-billion-dollar global mega-corporation that controlled the major portion of the entire financial lifeblood of the region! Working under its director meant a lot!Samuel nodded. “Yes, AstraVail Consortium.”Even Lyra herself looked slightly surprised after hearing that. She truly did not expect Samuel to be working directly under the Regional Operations Director of AstraVail Consortium.Grandma Voss’s eyes instantly brightened.“Does this mean you have enough access to help people handle certain things inside the AstraVail Consortium?” she quickly asked.Samuel smiled lightly and nodded.“Well… let’s just say I have a very comfortable level of access there, and I can easily pull a few strings to help out with certain exclusive things.”The moment those words came out, Elowen instantly became excited.“This is really good! Samuel, you already know Lyra currently manages our family cosmetic business and it’s already all

Instantly, everyone inside the living room turned toward Kael at the same time. Their eyes were all fixed on him now, clearly waiting for him to bring out the receipt and prove Samuel wrong.Even Lyra herself quietly looked at Kael expectantly. Meanwhile, Kael suddenly remembered something.Earlier at Elythrine Galerie, because he was in a hurry to return back to the villa quickly, when the workers wanted to prepare the purchase receipt for him, he casually told them it was unnecessary and left immediately with the necklace.Thinking of that, he shook. “I didn’t collect the receipt, I was in a hurry so I left before taking it.”The moment those words came out, the expressions inside the living room instantly changed again.Samuel immediately laughed mockingly. “Hahaha! Did everyone hear that? A three million dollar necklace and he somehow forgot to collect the receipt?” He looked toward the Voss family with a smile full of ridicule.Elowen’s expression instantly became ugly after hea

The moment Kael slowly opened the box, he instantly became slightly stunned. Inside the box were only two things resting quietly on the black velvet surface.The first was a plain dark ring. It looked simple and ordinary at first glance without any diamonds or luxurious decorations around it.The second item was a strange necklace made from white beads connected together neatly. The beads themselves looked unusual, almost ancient, and between some of them were tiny dragon shaped symbols carved faintly into the surface.Kael slowly brought the necklace out quietly and looked at it carefully under the light.The dragon symbols instantly caught his attention.“A necklace and a ring?” Kael muttered softly to himself.“That’s the gift my father left for me?”Honestly, Kael suddenly felt slightly disappointed. After hearing all those mysterious things from Vaeric earlier about the P

Kael and Lyra both turned around almost at the same time after hearing someone suddenly call her name.The moment Lyra saw the young man standing beside the black BMW X5, her expression instantly changed slightly from surprise.“Lucien?” she called out stunned.Meanwhile, Kael quietly looked at the man from head to toe, he did not know who the person was.Lucien Cross smiled lightly after seeing Lyra recognize him. “Lyra, I truly didn’t expect to meet you here.” His eyes carried obvious surprise. Then he suddenly looked toward the beautiful lady holding his arm and smiled.“Babe, look properly, this is the lady I told you about before, she’s Lyra Voss, my classmate back at university.”The young lady instantly looked interested. “Oh?” She smiled while sizing Lyra up. “So she’s the one you said you used to chase back then?”Lucien laughed lightly and nodded without hiding it.“Yes, what a pity though, she never agreed to date me, later I heard she actually married some useless live-in
