Semua Bab VOW OF REVENGE : Bab 71 - Bab 80

She wore a wine-red silk robe in a crisscross style. As she moved lazily, the scenery across her chest was slightly revealed, incredibly tempting—no wonder she wanted to make it into the entertainment industry; she did have the potential. A subtle change crossed Kent's face, but he hid it well; the change was momentary, fleeting. After casting a glance at Hayley, he turned around, taking my hand and carrying our luggage as we entered the room we had booked earlier. I planned to ignore her, but she seemed to have no intention of letting us go. As soon as we entered the room, without being invited, she sat on our bed. Crossing her legs, she smiled at us—or, to be precise, at Kent. She challenged me: "Kent, after you’ve unpacked, would you like to have dinner together?” She called Kent's name now, not 'President Miller,' with an overly affectionate tone that gave it a lover's tease—something I never used when calling his name. Before I could speak, he refused first: "My wife a

Kent took me out, bringing along a surfboard for us to go surfing. As I hugged his waist tightly, allowing the surfboard he controlled to smash into the billowing waves, I couldn't help but conjure up an image of that day when I was kidnapped by Jared: how he used the surfboard to miraculously arrive in front of me, saving me at that moment.We returned from surfing, and it was already night. Afterward, we climbed to the rooftop of the hotel. From this height of thirty-something stories, the night view of the entire island was in full view. The refreshing wind blew, and the stars in the sky seemed so close as if one could reach out to touch them.His countenance was hidden in the darkness, not visible, but as I leaned into his embrace, I could hear his erratic heartbeat. I couldn't help but imagine his heart beating only for me. I hugged his waist. Breathed in and sighed in relief, I never imagined we would be at peace, locked in each other, embrace, without a care in the world. "H

I'm sitting in the passenger seat, the car slowly advancing. My mood is low, I feel pressured, and honestly, I'm very uncomfortable.The Long family has now collapsed, and Jared has disappeared. Leila, a sheltered rich lady with a mentally ill mother, where can she turn now?With Kent's current power, it should be easy for him to find them. After all, these matters didn't take much effort to dig out, even for Ben.But now, he has been beating around the bush, advising me again and again to stop looking.I don’t understand his intentions. But one thing is clear: he does not want to continue searching for them. If it's like that, I won't force him to.At the moment, I have no contacts to help me; I can only shelve this matter for now. Jared hasn't fallen into the law's net yet; I'll wait for a chance in the future to personally ask him.What I didn't expect was that, following this event, there were even more unexpected things to come.Having temporarily dropped the investigation into

Although I was vexed by Hayley's attitude, I wasn't angry at all. After all, the purpose of the fashion show has changed to showcase her, and it was specifically orchestrated for her. If she's unwilling to cooperate and get a dress custom-made, then in the end, she'll have nothing to wear and can't perform on stage.The one who is at a loss is still her, right?She merely wanted to show me her power but she didn't realize that by using such a lowly method, she was only putting herself in a disadvantageous position.I'd like to see who will win this tug-of-war in the end.When I got back, Kent was already in my office. The look on his face was kind of gloomy. Seeing me come in, he popped a candy in his mouth, sucking on it, he looked anxious like he was waiting for me, for a while, he folded his hands and put them on the desk, looking at me: "You've been to the set?"I made an affirmative hum. He asked again, "Did you quarrel with Hailey?"I ignored his question, only asking, "Wha

Ben asked again, "Who is your boss?"Hill laughed, "Our boss is, of course, the 'Big boss' who controls this territory. He has a nickname in the underworld. Seeing how well you are doing, Brother, you should know, right?"The corner of Ben's eyebrow raised. He gave a signal to his bodyguard, who understood, grabbed Hill's arm, and pulled up his sleeve, revealing a crow-colored tattoo resembling wind-filled sails.I didn't feel anything about this tattoo. It was merely a guess that it should be the emblem of some organization. But Emilia was particularly excited and shot up from the sofa.Everyone was looking at her. Ben was also watching her, leaning slightly forward as if he was about to hold her in his arms the next moment.I pulled at her, "What's the matter?"She came back to her senses and forced a smile, "Nothing."She sat down.Ben asked Hill again, "What kind of 'lesson' does your boss want to teach my woman?"He chuckled and began to act arrogantly, "Well, I can't say.
