Semua Bab The CEO's Secret Weapon: Her Husband: Bab 21 - Bab 30

"Why, you!" May shrieked, her expression morphing into one of embarrassment and rage. "L-Let go!"It was a rather indecent position to be in.However, Damian raised his hand and slapped May's butt.Squealing, May nearly fainted from the mortification. "You bastard! I'll kill you!"Damian slapped her again."You—"Despite her all-consuming anger and hatred, May dared not say anything else. She merely glared daggers at Damian, her eyes seething with resentment. How she wished she could kill him."Keep kicking up a fuss, and I'll continue hitting you!" Damian threatened with a glare.In reality, he was feeling rather smug. Alden had been right about women needing to be disciplined. If a woman wasn't cooperative, all he had to do was smack her on the butt. If one didn't work, then two smacks would do the trick.From the looks of it now, it was a pretty effective method.Out of the blue, Christine's beautiful face and her icy, haughty expression popped up in Damian's mind. An idea

Christine was stunned. It took her a moment before she reminded Franklin, "Aren't you going to look at the terms first, Mr. Webb?"With a hearty, easygoing laugh, Franklin declared, "What's there to look at? I have no reason not to trust you, Ms. Spencer!"Christine felt both surprised and touched. She said sincerely, "Thank you for your trust in us, Mr. Webb. Rest assured, I'll give this project my all."Damian was also pleased with Franklin's prompt and forthright manner. Initially, he'd worried that Franklin might have considered his debt of gratitude repaid after helping Damian yesterday. Thus, there was a chance Franklin would refuse to do him any more favors. Damian was already prepared for the possibility of needing to seek Kane's or Fergus' help to get Franklin to acquiesce. Who would've thought that Franklin would be this cooperative?Since that was the case, he felt the need to repay in kind. Glancing over at Sean, he abruptly said, "Thank you, Mr. Webb. You can leave S

At first, Damian thought May had been poisoned by someone. Now, he realized she was the one playing with poison herself. Unfortunately, she wasn't an expert and ended up poisoning herself instead.Damian looked down at the corpses on the ground, his gaze piercing.…One hour later, Damian was seated in a VIP private dining room at Luxora Hotel with Kane and Fergus on both sides."That bastard Kevin actually dared to go after you, sir? I'll head over to Sengrove right this minute and kill him!" Fergus declared furiously.He immediately tried to march off, but Kane stopped him.Turning to Damian, Kane asked respectfully, "What do you plan to do now, sir?"Damian glanced at Kane. After rubbing his temples, he said calmly, "Kane, Alden left you in charge of the Shadow Sanctum all these years. This proves you're a wise and steady person. What do you think we should do about this?"Kane's eyes gleamed for a moment before he replied, "Kevin sent someone to assassinate you because he t

After hearing everything, Horace grew even more confused. "She's just a CEO of a small company?"A small fry like that wouldn't even catch Fergus' attention. Why would Kane, of all people, personally get involved?Something felt off.Horace mulled it over for a moment. Soon, a cold gleam appeared in his eyes. He already had a foolproof plan in mind.…At the break of dawn the next morning, Damian left the house and headed straight for the mountain ten miles away. After arriving at the summit, he didn't begin his exercise. Instead, he searched around."Oh? That woman isn't here today? Did she die of poisoning?"He shook his head when he saw that May was nowhere to be found. Then, he sat down cross-legged and began to meditate. Even after the sun had fully risen, there was still no sign of May. He had no choice but to head back down the mountain and return to the Spencer residence.After breakfast, Christine left the house bright and early to busy herself with the project. Damian

"Wendell, I was reckless earlier and wrongly accused you. I truly apologize. Do forgive me," Eli said earnestly.Though Wendell was still somewhat displeased, he knew there was a valid reason for what happened, so he didn't press the matter. Waving his hand dismissively, he said with a snort, "Forget it. I can't be bothered to argue with an old fool like you."Eli laughed heartily, knowing that meant Wendell had let it go."Come. Let's have some drinks."The three men proceeded to the living room and sat down. It was obvious that Wendell felt a mix of curiosity and respect toward Damian.After having some coffee, Wendell couldn't resist asking, "Your mastery of the art of geomancy is truly the best I've ever seen, Mr. Luther. You have my deepest respect. May I know who your mentor is?"Eli also raised a brow and glanced over at Damian. He didn't know the name of Damian's mysterious mentor, either.With an apologetic smile, Damian replied, "I'm sorry, but my mentor doesn't let me
