Semua Bab Revenge of the Night: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Ferguson smiled. "Hello, Ms. Sanders. Mr. Weeks sent me here.""Mr. Weeks? Who's that?" Queenie asked curiously."His full name is Alexander Weeks."Hogs and George almost fell to the ground. The richest man of Riverton really did have business with them.Queenie, however, muttered, "Sorry, but I don't know that guy."Hogs and George felt their legs getting weak again."It's very normal for that to happen, but he did tell me you are his VIP from today onward. Should you run into any trouble, do please tell us. Say the word, and our company can deal with all your problems. That's the promise my employer made. Problems like… imprisonment."The Sanders family looked tense immediately. They couldn't believe Alexander wanted to get to know Queenie and stand up for her. This was not what they expected.Queenie was stunned as well. She had no idea what Empire Corp or who Alexander Weeks was, but she was getting some ideas after she heard Ferguson speak. "I have no idea who your boss i

Queenie thought an amnesiac staying in an unfamiliar place alone would end up in chaos. Nox could've run around aimlessly, but he stayed at the mansion, much to her surprise.Nox looked at Queenie and smiled. "I didn't run. I was waiting for you.""Not bad. You're smart for waiting. If you had run off, I wouldn't have tried to find you or anything." Queenie put her bag down. "Hello, Blackshark. Miss me?"Queenie ran to her mastiff and patted his head. The mastiff nudged toward Nox."Thank you, Nono." Queenie got up."What did you just call me?" Nox was flabbergasted."Nono. Because you're Nox, aren't you?" Queenie asked.Nox was speechless. He was the god of war of Faeast, and yet this girl just gave him a ridiculous nickname."Thanks for saving me and teaching that bastard a lesson," Queenie said.Nox didn't really mind what Queenie called him. He smiled. "No problem."Worried, Queenie muttered, "But that bastard's one heck of a petty a-hole. I wouldn't put anything past him

Queenie continued her explanation.Nox said, "But no one in Empire Corp said anything about taking a liking to you."Queenie smiled cunningly. "Oh no, you don't know the half of it. It doesn't matter who took a liking to me. What matters is they came to me. I have no idea why, but neither does my family.""Huh? What are you getting at?"Queenie chuckled mischievously. "Simple. I just need to get a random guy and say he's Alexander's son or relative."Nox thought, 'Wait, you're going to find an impostor and put on an act?' He was speechless."Yeah. Think about it. My family's as confused as I am. No one knows why Empire Corp sought me out, not even my scumbag of an uncle. If I tell them Empire Corp's heir took a liking to me, they would have to take my word for it," Queenie said, intelligence twinkling in her eyes.Nox smiled dryly. He thought, 'She is going the extra mile just to get away from Silas. Even came up with an elaborate plan of getting a fake heir to act things out, b

Yet another thing he had to learn was how to act haughty like a bona fide scion. "Listen up, Nono. You're the godson of Riverton's richest man, so you don't have to care what anyone thinks about you. You have to present yourself as a gentleman and as someone with culture. But most importantly, as someone with money."Hearing that, Nox wanted to curse. He used to be the commander of two million soldiers, but now a girl was teaching him how to present himself as someone with culture and money, too!More than two agonizing hours later, Queenie's throat was getting sore. "Did you understand everything I just said?"Nox nodded with a smile."Good. I'm taking you home now." Queenie picked up her bag."Now? I think it's a bit too soon," Nox said."Too soon? I'm getting married to Silas in two days." She yanked Nox away and took him back home. On the way back, she kept telling him to keep up a perfect act. Failure was not acceptable."And talk less. I'll speak up in your place. This is

"Don't underestimate my boyfriend, Dad. Do you know why Empire Corp sent its head steward to our house this morning?"George felt something getting stuck in his throat, but he said, "What do you mean?"Queenie answered, "Isn't it obvious? Dad, Mom, to tell you the truth, my boyfriend is Alexander's godson. His name is Nox Greenshade."The news was like a bombshell. George and Yvette were petrified. They couldn't believe Nox was Alexander's godson.When they looked at him once more, Yvette and George didn't know what to say.Nox finally spoke up. "Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Sanders."George remained stunned for nearly twenty seconds while staring at Nox with widened eyes. "A-Are you really Alexander's godson? The godson of the richest man in Riverton?"Nox nodded with a smile. At the same time, far, far away in the resplendent halls of Watercloud Villa, Alexander sneezed. This was not the kind of honor he could take without suffering any repercussions.George couldn't believe his eyes, and Yvett
