"I want us to drink wine at my apartment." Lily winked coquettishly with one eye. Her lips curved slightly, teasing.

Zane was stunned, but tried to stay calm. He could read Lily's intention. A faint sigh escaped him.

"Sorry, Lily. I can't tonight because I have to attend my friend's universsery event," Zane politely declined so as not to offend Lily. His tone remained gentle.

Lily instead smiled widely. "I'm coming! I'll be your party date!" Her eyes sparkled brightly.

Zane hesitated. He didn't want to ruin Louis and his lover's happy moment, because Lily would attract all the guests' attention.

Zane rubbed his neck awkwardly. "Sorry, Lily. I'll come alone." His voice was firm but calm.

Lily pouted angrily. "Fine. But I'll go somewhere dangerous so I can get kidnapped again!" She stomped lightly.

"Don't joke. Do you want your grandfather to have a heart attack?" Zane scolded firmly. His brows furrowed slightly.

"Then you must let me come with you." Lily demanded. She crossed her arms

    “It looks like I need to recruit a Deputy CEO to represent me in meeting clients so my identity stays secret,” Zane said. “But I don’t know who I can trust.”“How about Avery?”Zane rubbed his chin. Avery was smart, but not trustworthy.“No.”Louis thought hard too. His friends had insulted Zane at his university event, so there was no way Zane would want to recruit them.Zane suddenly remembered someone, and a smile spread across his face. “That will be my business. Your job is to make sure tonight’s event runs smoothly.”“Do you have a suggestion?”“Yes. There’s someone I can trust.”“Who?”“You’ll see later,” Zane replied. “Make sure Hudson isn’t allowed to attend the inauguration, including Niel Corp.”Louis nodded, though his curiosity was clearly piqued.

    Zane was sipping his coffee while reading news on his iPad. He smiled happily as he read about Zeeva officially becoming an ambassador for several makeup, fashion, and other brands, dominating the global market.“Sir.” Louis entered and stood in front of Zane. “I’ve completed the tasks you assigned. Chrizen Corp is ready to operate. Only the inauguration event remains.”Zane grinned with satisfaction. “Good.” He picked up his phone from the table. Now he had to call Avery.“Are you going to call Miss Avery?” Louis guessed politely, worry showing on his face.“Yes, why?” Zane noticed the change in Louis’s expression.“Haven’t you read the news about Miss Avery and Leonard? In two days, they’ll be married.”Zane’s eyes widened. Married? He had no idea about thi

    After the event ended, Louis and Zane returned to the Caleste penthouse to discuss Chrizen Corp.“I have bad news,” Zane said as he sat on the sofa.“What is it, Mister?” Louis frowned, worry showing on his face.“Avery…” Zane’s sentence hung in the air. His chest ached at the mention of that traitor’s name. “Avery is going to reveal my identity as Mr. Christopher to Leonard to get a cooperation contract with Hale Corp.”Louis was stunned. His expression turned grim. “How dare Miss Avery betray you, Mr. Christopher. Didn’t you have to destroy Fallon Corp to save Avery’s future from Leonard? How could she repay your kindness with treachery?”Zane let out a heavy snort. “I’m sure Avery is afraid her grandmother, Camila, will get even sicker if she finds out Fallon Corp went bankru

    Zane’s eyes widened perfectly.‘Lily?’Damn! He forgot to pick up Lily. The woman would definitely be furious with him.“What’s wrong, Zane?” Zeeva asked anxiously, seeing Zane looking panicked.Zane immediately shook his head slowly, giving a small smile, not wanting to make Zeeva worry.“Nothing.” Zane put his phone back in his pocket. He chose to dance with Zeeva rather than pick up Lily, because this was a rare moment for him.Usually, Zeeva would always avoid Zane. So, this was a good start to rebuilding their romantic relationship.“Are you sure?” Zeeva wasn’t satisfied with Zane’s answer.“Sure.” Zane smiled even sweeter to calm Zeeva. He took both of her hands and placed them on his shoulders, then held her slim waist.Romantic music played softly. Zane and Zeeva danced to the rhythm.

    "Is it true what Louis said, Lucy? You’re having an affair with Danzel?" Valarie asked with a shocked expression, representing the question on everyone’s mind.Lucy suddenly became nervous when all the guests stared at her with disgusted faces."T-That’s not true. What proof do you have that I’m having an affair with Danzel?" Lucy protested in a stuttering voice, trying to look angry."Of course, I have the proof." Louis took his phone out of his pants pocket and showed photos of the moment Zeeva caught Lucy and Danzel being intimate in Danzel’s apartment complex. He took them while on a mission escorting Zeeva."You...?" Lucy’s eyes widened. "Where did you get those photos?""So, you admit that the woman in the photos is you?" Louis grinned, making Lucy lose the words to deny it."Did you follow me, Louis?" Zeeva asked, her voice still soft and polite."No, Miss," Louis denied calmly. "It just so happens that my apartment is near Danzel’s. I often saw Danzel and Lucy being affectiona

    All the guests panicked immediately, their faces filled with shock and confusion.“What’s going on?” Louis stood up quickly, his posture tense and his expression darkened with concern.“That man stole a historic painting from the national museum!” the police leader announced loudly, his voice echoing across the room and making everyone freeze.“Where is the proof?” Louis challenged, his eyes narrowing as disbelief washed over him completely.A man with a cold, unreadable face stepped forward from the crowd. His mere presence filled the room with an overwhelming sense of intimidation and unease.“Me.”Everyone frowned, surprised and slightly alarmed. None of them recognized this man, and his sudden appearance made the atmosphere even tenser.“Who are you?” Louis asked cautiously, trying to gauge the intentions of this unexpected intruder.<
