تسجيل الدخولRoy was stunned.This was the first time Vessara had ever told him to suspend a mission.A sense of unease crept into his chest.Instinctively, he wanted to say something more, but in the end, only two words came out.“Understood.”The brief, professional response brought the conversation to an end.After hanging up, Vessara lay back on her soft bed.Yet no matter how hard she tried, her heart refused to settle.Had other families besides the Valdis family been affected?If so, why hadn't she received any reliable intelligence about it yet?The people at her base were all highly trained specialists.They even had a dedicated reconnaissance team.Could it really be that every member of the reconnaissance unit had failed to uncover anything?If that were true, then the foreign forces behind this incident were far more dangerous than she had imagined.Any trace of sleepiness vanished.
Selena bit her lip as she followed Martin Laurent out of the ballroom.Her eyes darted around, thoughts racing through her mind."Dad... why don't we find a quiet corner and sit down first?"She looked nervously at the guests surrounding them.Many of the people she'd only ever seen on television were gathered here tonight. An overwhelming sense of fear rose from the pit of her stomach without warning. Pressing her lips together, she tried to calm herself.Martin frowned immediately, shooting her a dissatisfied look."What are you talking about? Do you have any idea what an incredible opportunity this is?" He lowered his voice into a warning. "And don't you dare cause any trouble tonight."His sharp rebuke instantly silenced Selena.She lowered her head, hiding the emotions in her eyes. Her heart continued pounding violently against her chest. Clenching her fists, she turned&md
Sania pressed her lips together as countless thoughts flashed through her mind before finally settling into calm.She kept her eyes fixed on Vessara, as though something was still brewing beneath the surface."Your name is Vessara, isn't it?""Yes."Vessara frowned slightly, puzzled by the question.Sania took a deep breath. Through gritted teeth, she said, "I'll admit it. Everything you said earlier made sense. I owe you an apology for the way I treated you."She paused, and her expression hardened."But..." Her voice turned icy. "When it comes to Razen... I won't back down. You don't deserve him."With that, Sania turned on her heel and disappeared into the crowd without another glance.Vessara was left standing there alone, surrounded by countless curious eyes, looking momentarily bewildered.She had suspected Sania's feelings for Razen all along.But suspecting it and hearing the confes
Vessara wandered along the exhibition displays, her gaze lingering on the treasures showcased behind the glass.Countless thoughts bloomed in her mind.To her, these weren't merely luxury items.They were works of art.Works with souls.Reflections of their creators' hearts and minds.That was what made them valuable.“Are you looking at this watch?”A voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.“How convenient. It's one of my designs. Why don't you choose directly from my collection?”Sania had been wondering how to start a conversation. The moment she spotted Vessara standing in front of her display, her eyes lit up and she walked over.Vessara turned and nodded.“Sure.” A faint smile appeared on her face. “I happen to like these pieces quite a bit.”She hadn't expected this.After examining nearly every display in the exhibition, she'd fou
Vessara turned her head and found herself face-to-face with a dazzling smile.The woman before her was breathtakingly beautiful. Her delicate features were complemented by striking bone structure, giving her an irresistibly captivating charm.As she spoke, her eyes curved into crescents, their sparkling gaze reflecting Razen Valdis's figure.Dressed in a form-fitting red gown that accentuated every graceful curve, she leaned forward and walked straight to Razen."Razen, you came all the way here today and didn't even tell me?" she pouted. "This is my event. That really hurts my feelings."Without waiting for an invitation, she slipped into the empty seat beside him and turned to face him.Only then did she seem to notice Vessara sitting next to him."Oh!" she exclaimed in mock surprise. "I didn't realize there was another young lady here. Did you bring her with you?"Razen frowned slightly, his express
Selena stood proudly before Desa, even joining the surrounding crowd in mocking her.“So let me get this straight,” Selena said with a smug smile. “You barged in here out of nowhere and accused me of stealing your design. You've already damaged my reputation with these baseless accusations.”She crossed her arms.“I gave you the chance to explain yourself, so why aren't you talking now? Are you scared?”“Of course not.” Desa clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white.Looking at Selena, she practically ground the words out through her teeth.“What you just described... those were my ideas.”“Oh?” Selena widened her eyes dramatically. “Are you going to claim I simply said everything you wanted to say first?”She laughed.“Miss, you already crashed this event without an invitation. Now you're standing here making rid
