2024-11-04 15:25:36"You're truly unruly, uneducated, and nothing more than a frog in a well, thinking you're so great!”
Sabrina scoffed with disdain.
“That's why I despise talking to someone as lowly as you!"
Richard chuckled, “Believe me, I am trying to be honest here.”
"You? A powerful man?" she sneered, glaring at him with utter disgust.
"You can't even begin to understand how powerful I am or the people I've encountered who are far more powerful than you. They could erase you with just a sneer."
Richard laughed.
"The powerful men you know might be the ones seeking my favor, pleading for me to marry their daughters just to stay in my good graces. Trust me, you're incredibly lucky to have crossed paths with me."
What a braggart!
Sabrina rolled her eyes in disgust.
She wanted nothing more than to throw something at his smug face.
How shameless could he be, pretending to be so powerful when all he had was an old military backpack?
"You might pretend not to know me and try to bind me with marriage just to get my money," Sabrina retorted.
"But I warn you, that’s never going to happen. If my family finds out I slept with a poor man like you, you’ll be erased from this world. So you’d better keep your mouth shut and forget everything that happened here."
"I…"
"I don’t want to hear another word from you. Now, get out of this room," she demanded, her eyes blazing with fury.
"But…"
Richard tried to protest.
This was his room.
“NOW!”
Yet, seeing the fury in Sabrina’s wide eyes, he chose not to argue.
He quietly put on his clothes, grabbed his old military backpack, and looked at Sabrina one last time.
"I…"
"Get out!"
Sabrina’s yelled at the top of her lung.
"Alright."
In the elevator, Richard sighed, running a hand through his hair.
He knew the woman was under the influence of a cruel aphrodisiac, one that would end her life if she didn’t have sex with a man within the hour.
If there were any other way to save her, he would have done it already.
But that kind of sinister poison had no antidote.
"What the hell have I done? I came here to meet my fiancée, but before even meeting her, I’ve already slept with another woman. Maybe this is what they call a legendary bachelor party."
As Richard walked out from the elevator into the lobby, it was around five in the morning.
The hotel was quiet, with only a few people scattered around.
Yet, as he crossed the lobby, a group of men in black—about forty of them—suddenly appeared, forming two lines and bowing deeply as he passed.
He glanced at them with little interest, his expression one of boredom as if this was something he was long tired of.
A middle-aged man stepped forward from the group, kneeling before him in a knight-like stance.
"I am Aaron Windsor, at your service, Young Master," the man declared with reverence.
Richard looked down at him. "Aaron, do you know why I’m here in such simple clothes?"
"Young Master, please enlighten me," Aaron responded, his head still bowed.
"I’m here incognito," Richard explained. "And all this unnecessary fuss—are you trying to blow my cover so everyone knows who I truly am?"
"I apologize for my short-sightedness," Aaron quickly stood, turning to the men behind him.
With a swift gesture, he signaled for them to disperse, and the line of men quickly melted away, leaving the lobby empty once more.
"Tell me what you’re here for," Richard said as he walked toward a nearby sofa.
Aaron followed closely behind, like a faithful servant.
"Yes, Young Master," Aaron responded promptly.
He reached into his coat and pulled out a small box.
Opening it, he revealed a black card with gold trim and a .235-carat diamond embedded in the center.
"This is the World Majesty MasterCard. With unlimited credit, just use it as you see fit."
Aaron humbly handed it to Richard.
"This card also comes with a dedicated 24/7 concierge service that is highly personalized for you alone.”
“You’ll have access to a team that can fulfill almost any request, whether it’s securing last-minute reservations at the finest restaurants, arranging private jet travel, or gaining entry to exclusive events.”
“It connects you to the most secretive circles—no one will ever say no to you."
Richard looked at the card without any interest.
Aaron continued.
"I also arranged for the newest Sport car Bugatti La Voiture Noire, a one-of-a-kind model equipped with the latest artificial intelligence technology and self-driving capabilities.”
“But since you are here incognito, I guess you won’t like it, — so here is a villa in case you need to have a long stay."
Aaron explained with caution.
Richard nodded.
"Good to see you understood. I’ll keep the card for emergencies, but you can hold onto all the other gifts you’ve prepared."
“Now, tell me what you want.”

Faced with Sabrina's doubts, Aaron remained motionless. He nodded, his gaze unwavering.“It was thanks to Richard’s efforts—his connections, his work—that Sabrina was given the opportunity to be here today.”“I am personally grateful to him. After all, he’s the one who saved my daughter when she was gravely ill.”The crowd gasped. Whispers spread like wildfire.“Who exactly is this Richard?” “Richard? Never heard of that name before…” “Carter just got publicly humiliated by Mr. Windsor…”The audience buzzed with chatter. Sabrina’s face turned pale. Standing on the stage, she was at a loss for what to do.Her eyes darted toward Richard, and then back to Carter.“But... but...” Sabrina stammered. “But Carter... you told me... you said—"“Yes,” Richard interjected, his voice calm but tinged with a hint of mockery.“Carter told you that he did all of that. He’s lying.”A hush fell over the room. Sabrina’s heart sank as she realized how badly she had been deceived.She had believed ever

“Dad, did you pull the strings for this? Did you make sure Sabrina got on the list?”There was a long pause on the other end of the line before Carter father finally spoke.“Ah? Don’t bother me! We’re still handling the financials. Who cares about you!”With a sharp “beep” the call ended.The room went deathly quiet. Carter’s face turned crimson.“Could it really just be a coincidence?” Carter murmured, a trace of doubt flickering in his mind. If it wasn’t his father, then who could it have been? “Carter, what exactly did your father say on the phone? Why don’t you share it with everyone?”Richard remarked, his tone dripping with mockery. In truth, Richard had heard every word of the conversation. His hearing was remarkably sharp, and nothing escaped him.“I’ve confirmed it. My dad said he handled it!" Carter blurted out confidently, trying to reclaim his pride.Jillian couldn’t hold back her disdain any longer. She rolled her eyes, a smirk on her lips.“You’re really something, Ca

Sabrina showed a look of disbelief and said: “Then was it you who helped me? You’re useless, so why do you think others are the same as you?”Carter and Laura overheard Richard’s comment and couldn’t help but laugh. “Richard, are you blind? Didn’t you see that after I sent a text, Sabrina got the spot?” Carter mocked proudly. “Exactly. People like Richard who are so low and useless shouldn’t even be here,” Laura chimed in. “You still dare to question Carter? What about that rich woman you were with? Why don’t you go back to her instead of bothering us?”Laura’s voice grew louder with each word. Richard looked at the emotionally charged group in front of him and sneered. “Then I’d like to ask to see what Carter has to offer! “Richard looked at them.“Carter’s ability to get Sabrina to take the spot with a random text message, isn’t that something?” Laura interjected first. “Sabrina, don’t trust this guy who is full of lies,” Carter encouraged. Hearing all this, Sabrina turned t

The announcement for the evening event officially began.All eyes were on the stage. At this moment, Sabrina was extremely nervous. She clasped her hands together over her chest, fingers intertwined.Then closed her eyes in silent prayer. Seeing this, Carter leaned closer to her ear and whispered confidently.“There’s absolutely no problem!” Sabrina frowned slightly and nodded.The host on stage spoke: “Now, I will announce the names of the candidates...” Sabrina was on the edge, her heartbeat so loud it felt like it might burst out of her throat! “Martin Family Enterprises…”“Baker Group…”The host announced one name after another.The crowd's applause echoed throughout the venue. The executives of announced companies rose from their seat, offering friendly nods to those around them.“Only one spot left... will it really be me?” Sabrina thought anxiously, her toes curling tightly against the floor in nervous anticipation. In contrast to the excitement around her, Sabrina felt

“Four...three need to be selected...” Jillian looked at Sabrina’s information thoughtfully.“Miss, are you thinking of choosing Lansdowne Group?” The butler poked around.“Although she meets the requirements, I don’t like her.”Actually, she was a little jealous that Sabrina had become Richard’s wifeShe didn’t want to give her the candidate spot.But Jillian also knew that acting petty would only make her appear small-minded to Richard.“Understood, I will remove her name immediately!”“There’s no rush, why don’t you show the information to Mr. Royaland and let him decide.” Jillian said with a smirk.“Yes.” The butler didn’t ask more questions and left.There were still 20 minutes before the official list was announced.Sabrina overheard a conversation at the next table.The people were saying that the candidate spots had already been decided!Sabrina couldn’t hold back her curiosity.She leaned over to ask the people at the next table:“Excuse me, have you heard if Lansdowne Group m

Richard sensed the situation was spiraling.“Let’s go back inside,” he suggested to Jillian.“Alright. I need to go handle the candidates’ matters.”“Then see you later, Sabrina.” Jillian said, giving a polite nod before she left.“Sabrina, let’s head to the banquet hall," Richard suggested after watching Jillian leave.“Don’t come near me,” Sabrina snapped impatiently, shooting Richard a glare before turning sharply on her heel and storming off toward the hall.Seeing Richard only deepened her frustration.Richard and that woman, Jillian…Whether she could secure the nomination today…All these thoughts swirled in her head, fueling her irritation. Richard followed at a measured pace, watching Sabrina’s hurried strides.The sharp clatter of her high heels echoed through the hallway. He couldn’t help but smirk to himself. “This woman… will she ever develop some proper judgment?” Suddenly, the clacking heels stopped. Sabrina halted abruptly. “Can you stop following me? Stay away!” s

Sabrina and her group returned to Sabrina's mansion.Two hours before the charity banquet Sabrina paced anxiously.She had just heard from Carter that Lan was attending tonight too.If Richard showed up, there could be trouble.Carter took Sabrina aside, his expression serious.“Look,” he began, his voice low.“You know Lan doesn’t let things go easily. If Richard is there, it could get messy fast.”Sabrina frowned, trying to shake off a growing sense of dread.“But he wouldn’t pick a fight there, would he?” she asked, as if convincing herself.Carter shook his head, feigning exasperation.“You know better than that. The last thing you want is for Richard to provoke him and cause a scene.”"Richard will affect your candidacy results!" Carter added.Sabrina thought for a moment and then agreed.Thought of Richard getting dragged into another confrontation made her stomach twist.Sighing, she walked towards Richard.“I’m not taking you to the banquet tonight,” she said abruptly.“Stay h

As Carter walked into the boutique, he took in the situation with a keen eye, sensing the tension in the air.“Sorry! I had just finished handling company matters.”Carter said to Sabrina and Laura.Meanwhile, Sabrina was still in a state of panic, fretting about what might happen next.She was deeply concerned that Richard’s confrontation with Lan would lead to a serious backlash.Her mind raced, and she quickly turned to Carter for help.After telling Carter about what had just happened, she began:“Carter,” Her voice desperate, “I need your help. I don’t care what the cost is, I’ll pay any compensation needed, just please, help protect Richard.”Carter inwardly scoffed, his lips curling into a slight smirk, finding some twisted amusement in Richard’s reckless move.However, he kept his expression neutral, choosing to play along.“I’ll do what I can,” he replied smoothly.Richard stood there, both amused and touched by Sabrina’s concern.Despite her misunderstandings about him, her

The words shattered the last remnants of Laura’s patience. Her face twisted with hurt and disgust as she looked at him, her heart sinking.He wasn’t the man she thought he was; he was weak, willing to abandon her dignity and safety for his own comfort. It was almost too much to bear.Emma’s laughter filled the air, mocking and cruel. “I told you,” she crowed, her voice dripping with satisfaction.“He’s no man, just a pathetic little coward. Can’t even stand up for his own girlfriend!” She turned to Laura, her smile widening. “Looks like I win, doesn’t it?”“We’re done.” Laura hissed to Mike, her voice shaking. “You’re just a spineless, sniveling little coward. Don’t ever come near me again.”Sabrine could see the pain in Laura’s eyes. She stepped forward.“That’s enough,” she said coldly to Emma and Jason, her voice steady despite the fury raging within her. “I don’t care who you think you are or who you know. We’re done here.”But Jason merely chuckled, clearly amused by her
