Semua Bab You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone: Bab 111 - Bab 120

The attendees of the auction were all from the same social circle. They were people who met one another regularly.Upon hearing that, someone immediately chimed in, "Are you sure? How did you know?"The invitations were only presented at the entrance and Lily was just climbing up the steps."Her invitation fell to the floor when she got out of the car. I happened to see it and it looked like it said 'Northwood'."Northwood was not a common surname. It was also associated with someone of great influence and status. Who else could it be but Lucian Northwood?"They've both been on the news before. The dancer fell off the stage and was carried away by Mr. Northwood. Now she's attending the auction with his invitation. Something seems to be going on."The noblewoman who was chatting with Selena knew about Lucian's marriage and said with righteous indignation, "These people don't know anything at all. There they go running their mouths again. It's like they forgot all their morals back

Hector Calloway thought he had the wrong person at first. He shot Calista a casual glance when she first walked in. He couldn't be certain then. Now, he was sure it was her."I thought you looked familiar when you walked in. It is you."He sat down in the chair next to her with his legs spread out in front of him in a bold manner."Have you seen the catalog? Is there anything you like? I'll buy them for you."A catalog was placed on each seat. The booklet provided details about the items being auctioned for the day. Calista was just about to respond when Lucian spoke coldly. It was as if he were looking to pick a fight."I believe that isn't your seat, Mr. Calloway."It was only then that Hector noticed Lucian. He raised a brow."Who's this, Calista?"The two men locked eyes. One was arrogantly assertive while the other was cold and composed. There was a dark look in Lucian's eyes as he wrapped his arm around Calista's shoulder in a possessive manner."I'm her husband.""Husb

The SUV let out a resounding roar as the door closed. They weren't going particularly fast because Calista had yet to fasten her seatbelt. But, the noise was enough to attract the attention of half the hotel.By the time Lucian reached the entrance, all he could see was the red glow of the tail lights flashing in the darkness.His gaze remained fixed in that direction. The look in his eyes was darker than the starless night sky. His lips were pressed into a thin line in displeasure.An injured Lily came outside with the assistance of a staff member."I'll go get a car, Ms. Scott. Please wait a moment.""Alright."She stood by Lucian. Due to the ache in her ankle, she had to lean against the doorframe to keep her balance.She had to change out of her high heels into disposable hotel slippers, making her swollen ankle look even worse.He turned his attention to her and parted his lips. Lily knew he had something to say when she sensed his gaze on her. She interrupted him."You s

Lucian opened his eyes. The white wisps of smoke escaped from between his lips.None of the lights in the living room were on. The only source of light that illuminated the room was from the street lamps outside the massive windows.The already dim glow was further obscured by the smoke that lingered in the air, casting a hazy veil over his vision. He cleared his throat and hummed in response. David quickly sent him the manuscript after hanging up.The brightness of his phone was rather harsh under the dim lighting. But, Lucian wasn't in the mood to switch the lights on.He simply checked through what he'd been sent despite the manor being equipped with smart home technology. All he needed to do was use the smart app to switch it on.It was just as he expected. Calista had been caught confronting Lily. But, it only featured a photograph of her raising her hand. There was no follow-up.The article's text sympathized with Lily and insinuated that Calista was arrogant and overbearin

Hector had gone to the hospital to get his wounds treated after leaving last night. But, seeing the earnest look Calista was giving him, he shook his head."No.""Take off your mask. Let me see your injuries."He glanced around the bustling entrance of the apartment building."Here? Should we move elsewhere?"The two bodyguards behind her were Lucian's men. Having them bear witness to his injuries was the same as his rival seeing the extent of his injuries."It's not like I'm asking you to take off your clothes. Why are you fussing about taking this elsewhere? Should I book you a hotel room too?""Well, you could …"Calista couldn't be bothered with his nonsense. She immediately ripped his mask off. Hector reacted the moment she moved but lowered it.He was a rough man. He worried that he might accidentally hurt her hand if he failed to control his strength.With the mask off, the injuries on his face could finally be seen. They looked even more alarming than they had seemed
