Chapter 282

Author: Edelweiss W.S.
I took the card, left him alone, and entered the banquet hall. Only then did I realize how humble the lavish entrance looked compared to the interior.

It was here that I caught glimpses of information about Leda herself. Her guests spoke of her freely among themselves.

"I can't believe the Rivers family managed to return in full glory after leaving Revaria with their tails between their legs. They're absolutely massive internationally—juggernauts, even!"

"I think the only families who can still match the Rivers family are the Astergrad Four. But in terms of future development? I doubt anyone can surpass them!"

"They say the mysterious man who brought them back to life is also Ms. Rivers's crush and true love. She once told the international press she'd marry no one but that mysterious man!"

My heart skipped a beat. They were talking about Leda, right? Then who was this man she had sworn to marry—the one who saved her family and turned it into the ritzy juggernaut it was today?

  • Goodbye, Saintess.   Chapter 354

    I decided we should just visit the factory without him, especially since Taylor had already informed his guards about our arrival. The only part of the factory we were forbidden to enter was the dispensary. Everywhere else was fair game.We concluded the factory was just as good as Shawn Inc.'s."They both meet our standards, huh? Then let's split the deal. Shawn Inc. can make our sleeping pills, while Lockheed Pharma handles the Flametamers," I said.Metis went to the restroom.I was just about to call Jeanine to draft two contracts when I ran into someone I least expected. A flat voice behind me said, "Oh, is that Sebastian Grimwald? I can't believe it's really you."I turned, equally surprised. It was my older cousin, Kevin. I frowned."Why are you here?" I asked."Because I'm the leader of one of Lockheed Pharma's production teams. I'm on my break right now," he said. "I earn a lot more than normal workers here, man."He chuckled smugly. "What happened? Couldn't make a livi

    "Wait! Since when are we getting married? How come I have no idea?" I asked, baffled."Denial won't get you far, Sebastian! I overheard it myself from Claire's grandmother! You two are supposed to get married soon!" she snapped.I froze as realization dawned, then chuckled, amused. "No, no! That was just Claire and me pretending to be a couple so her grandmother wouldn't worry about her love life and future!"Metis widened her eyes in disbelief. "Is that true?""Of course it is!" I nodded, slightly confused by her sudden mood swings."This is wonderful! I knew the universe wouldn't let me miss my true, destined love twice. I misunderstood you, yet the universe brought us back together, as though we were never meant to be apart. I almost misunderstood you for life…" she murmured so softly that I could barely make out the words.I wondered if she was cursing me under her breath for calling her my girlfriend. Then, suddenly, she looked up. "What were you actually thinking when you c

    How the tables had turned!Wayne and Taylor exchanged a glance before prying Joe away from their future benefactor's thigh."No! Don't! Give me a chance, noooo! We know we're wrong now!"…His pleas fell on deaf ears. Metis and I had already stepped out of the room without looking back.Taylor and Wayne shot Joe one last gleeful, schadenfreude-laden look before following me."You brought this on yourself, man." Sam sighed, turning away.All three of them met me in the hotel lobby.Before I climbed into my car, Taylor and Wayne asked eagerly, "What about us, Mr. Grimwald? Are you interested in our factories?"I nodded. "Yes. You're still under consideration.""That's great! How about later this afternoon? We'd love to give you a live, on-site inspection of the factory!""Agreed. But only after I've settled my girlfriend," I replied.The two men left their contact numbers and returned to their factories like the happiest schoolboys.I barely noticed Metis' expression when I

    "Please forgive the innocent in this matter, sir. I promise I will beat what he should have learned today into his bones, preferably with blood," Joe said, not once glancing at his unconscious son.He stood next to Sebastian with the same humility a commoner showed a lord when begging for mercy.Joe feared more than the loss of a contract. He feared Sebastian would take out his anger on Joe's Dispensary.…I glared at him and sneered, "Is that how your mind works? An apology, if theatrically delivered, somehow fixes everything? He drugged my girlfriend last night and planned to send her to his room to be raped. Do you hear me? He tried to rape her."Joe shivered. Desperation crept into his voice."Then your son brought a group of henchmen and barged into her room to do what he could not do the night before. I do not even know how he got her room access card."Then, after I taught him a lesson and let him go, your son strutted back into our room and told me you would back him. Th

    Why did it look like things had not de-escalated in the slightest?His son kept gloating as if reinforcements had arrived. "Didn't I warn you, shithead? My dad's right here now! Where's your apology?"Sebastian stared at Joe, who shivered."You brainlet! I told you to go back and apologize. What the hell did you do instead?" he roared, slapping the back of Harry's head.The world spun. Harry could not tell left from right for a moment. "D-Dad! Why did you hit me? Can't you see I've already been hurt enough? I'm trying to make him apologize, Dad. But he acts like some top dog, like he's better than us. Can you believe this idiot?"He's pretending you don't exist even when you are standing right here. We should teach him a lesson, Dad. Show him how much weight we carry and crush him with it!"Harry's words landed like a slap. Rage flooded Joe."You little shitstain! What did I do to deserve a son this cognitively compromised? I should have worn a condom back then, I swear!""Why

    The room was a wreck. Metis and I exchanged a glance.Her tears hadn't even dried. Worried she was still in shock, I began, "Are you alright—"She lunged at me and kissed me with sudden intensity. Her arms wrapped around me tightly. Her kiss was clumsy but overflowing with the desperate need for security after surviving a harrowing ordeal.It lasted a minute or more before Metis finally pulled back, out of breath, and tremblingly collapsed into my arms. "I-I thought I was done for… I… I'm so glad you're here…""It's okay. It's over now. Let's get you to a new hotel, alright?" I replied, gasping for air.Was I hallucinating? Was I sick? My heart raced as if it had a mind of its own. It resonated with hers and beat in perfect, wild unison.What was happening? My heart had never raced like this, not even at the wedding aisle with Hera. Why did being with her feel like this?Then, as if the universe were mocking us, Harry Applebaum barged back in. This time, he was dripping with eve
