Lucian mocked her as she said, "Do you think that you're better than her? Tonight is all about President Garcia and Ms. Brown, so there's no place for you. I would behave myself if I were you. No one would take you seriously as you were out of the picture since long ago." Raelyn did not have to show any mercy as there were no outsiders nearby, so she snapped back, "I am still the eldest daughter of the Saunders family. Even if I'm married, I'm still a Saunders, and not to mention that I'm the one and only Mrs. Anderson! Who do you think you are? You're a nobody, a pet that was abandoned by your master. You know what, just apologize to me, and I'll forgive you as I have a big heart. If you don't want to, then you do know what I'm capable of, right?" "Oh, I'm so afraid!" Lucian said sarcastically as she shrugged her shoulders and continued, "Raelyn, I'm well aware of those dirty tricks of yours. Bring it on, then? Let's see if the Saunders family, or your beloved husband, who

Raelyn had successfully set up Lucian tonight, as she was assisted by William, Archer, and Natalie. If it weren't for the sake of the plan, Natalie would never be alone with Raelyn willingly. William, on the other hand, had wanted to grasp Lucian's intention towards Natalie. Based on his observations and events from the past few days, Lucian did not pose a threat towards Natalie but was extremely concerned about Natalie's safety and wellbeing instead. That was strange! William pondered for a moment, then looked at Michael and said, "Show Michael the video and see if he discovers anything." At this, Bobby showed the video to Michael, who frowned after watching it, "Lucian's reaction is very strange indeed. Any chance that she is homosexual?" William froze and asked, "What do you mean?" "It's similar to a case I've worked on before. The victim was a lesbian and had the same reaction as Lucian when she was harassed by a man. However, I may be wrong as L

William was stunned upon hearing that and asked, "Is it true?" "Yes, but Devon was very secretive about it. I once saw Devon wrote a love letter to Natalie and I recognized his handwriting immediately." "What happened after that?" "Raelyn was interested in him later and began to pursue him. Devon then switched his target from Natalie to Raelyn, as Raelyn is the eldest daughter of the Saunders family, which meant that she has a better status than Natalie." William frowned and thought for a moment, "Does Lucian have any business with any other men besides Devon?" "Nope! The pair are friends that merely benefit from each other. Lucian is an extremely odd woman. I remembered an incident that happened during a company gathering with their clients. She vomited in the bathroom when a drunk client had touched her accidentally. Her reaction is not normal at all." "Could it be that she drank too much?" "Nope. They even joked about it when she went to puk

Andrew, Michael, Raymond, and a young man were playing cards together in the chess room located behind the grand hall. Michael's eyes lit up immediately as he waved at William when he saw the pair walking into the room. "William, come take my place. I need to go to the bathroom." William knew that he was going to find Abbie, hence he grinned and sat down to replace Michael. Andrew and Raymond were bitter when they saw that William was joining the game, "Let's make things clear first. The winner doesn't get anything, only the loser has to pay up." "Why?" William picked up the cards and asked nonchalantly. "Because you play dirty," Raymond accused William matter-of-factly as Raymond knew that he did not stand a chance against him.  William laughed and pulled Valeria onto his lap. "You're living in the past. How could I possibly cheat?" "How else could you win every game without losing even once?" Raymond questioned him. "One should never underest

Raelyn knew what Natasya meant, as joining forces with Paisley meant that she was betting on a risky game. On the other hand, Raelyn could always trust Natasya as she was her daughter. However, this was not a simple matter. "Natasya, William is Valeria's now. Making William yours meant going against your uncle and grandfather. It's risky." "I'm fine with it. Why should we be afraid of them when Wolf Group would be under our control? Have you seen the way they treated us tonight? They look down on us because we are not powerful enough. If I can make William mine, they would have no choice but to accept it, wouldn't they?" "William isn't easy to deal with and I'm worried that we might fail." Raelyn was interested in this plan, but she had never once succeeded in setting William up. If he were to make a counter-attack, they would be in deep trouble. "This is a piece of cake as we shall save the best for last. Firstly, let's use Paisley as the opening act of our pla
