“Dad. I’m just going to give something to Ms. Labenz. What are you doing?” Haylan said with a long face.
“Take it. You know, keep it with you just in case. At least you will be prepared when it comes into use.”
The father glanced at him and said earnestly. “Son. I’m old and don’t understand the minds of you young people. Well, 1 might not be able to keep you in check in this aspect, but I just want you to understand one thing. Once you have
committed yourself to someone, don’t flirt with someone else. I know it’s tempting to thirt and sleep with different women, but I think it is more admirable for a man to work hard, love only one woman in a lifetime, raise children, and be faithful. I hope you remember these words, eh? Alright, go now.”
With that, his father stuffed the condom into his pocket and sent him away.
He was completely baffled.
He muttered to himself. “What on earth was he talking about? Why did he make it seem like I was some kind of womanizer?”
After all, he was still single, and after returning to the country, he had not been involved with any woman, let alone had a committed relationship with anyone.
He could not help but wonder why did his parents look at him like that.
At this point, because of their words, he even started wondering if he was indeed a scumbag!
He left home with much puzzlement, then got into his car, driving straight to Reign’s residence.
As the CEO of the Labenz Group and the wealthiest woman in Lightdom City, her place was exceptionally luxurious.
It was located in the Rouge Villa district, the most expensive and extravagant one in the heart of the city.
The area had vast land, peaceful surroundings, and beautiful landscaping
To please the high-profile residents, the developers hired a renowned geomancer to design the layout. They even brought in the large rockery and created a flowing river.
The entire villa district resembled a garden that was nestled by nature.
Moreover, all the villas were traditional-style courtyards, exuding an antique charm, with a low-key yet luxurious decoration and a sense of nobility.
Meanwhile, Reign resided in the most extravagant courtyard in the area.
The layout was particularly excellent, with abundant natural light and surrounded by beautiful landscape, creating a pleasant and enjoyable scenery.
In the pond, there were eight ornamental fish, symbolizing prosperous wealth.
“Living alone in such a spacious courtyard? Isn’t she afraid?”
After arriving. Haylan walked amidst the beautiful scenery provided by the villa district, yet he found it hollow and in lack of vitality. After all, there was a distinct lack of hustle and bustle, making the place appear particularly spacious, and serene, yet deserted.
BANG!
The main gate of the villa closed after he entered.
He was not surprised at all, remaining calm instead.
It was because he had already paid attention to the surroundings when he arrived.
Although the place had an antique and nostalgic charm, it was equipped with many smart home devices, and hidden surveillance cameras were installed at the entrance and on the walls,
Meanwhile, the main gate was also remote-controlled
Among the scenery, there were many high-tech, advanced weapons hidden as well.
It was evident that despite living alone, her environment was highly secure.
He thought to himself, “Both the laser weapons and the firearms hidden in the rockery are capable of killing a general-class individual. Also, in the shadows, there’s a formidable expert with a lingering aura. Well, it should be Landon.”
He glanced at the surroundings around him and immediately came to a realization.
Although it appeared empty, it was heavily fortified
Whoever with malicious intentions, as soon as he entered, would likely be discovered and subsequently dealt with by these mechanisms.
*Mr. Jaber, come to courtyard No. 8. I’m in the study on the second floor.”
Chapter 370
Through a broadcast. Reign’s cold voice echoed.
He followed the instructions and walked into that courtyard, went upstairs, and arrived at the study.
She was wearing a pink silk nightgown. Meanwhile, her long, shiny black hair flowed down, accentuating her fair and delicate skin.
At this moment, she no longer had the cold and arrogant demeanor she carried at work. Instead, she had a hint of agreeableness, gentleness, and… seductiveness!
The nightgown showcased her figure, making it even more voluptuous and graceful.
Her figure was very attractive.
Meanwhile, her legs were long and slender!
Moreover, she seemed to have just finished bathing, emitting a pleasant fragrance of shower gel that smelled particularly pleasant.
She held a cup of coffee and stared at the wall of the study.
On the wall hung a massive relationship map with numerous photographs
Red lines connected the photos, forming an intricate and complex network.
She had been staring at this relationship map, her brows furrowed.
He glanced at the map and saw Landon, Philip, Secretary Lily, the finance department director, Yvonne, and all her confidants and enemies within the Mapleturz Group listed.
He even found himself on this map.
“I listed all the individuals so that I can eliminate them one by one. I hope you don’t mind,” she looked at him with apologetic eyes.
“It’s fine. I understand.”
He nodded and took out the gem he had prepared, handing it to her. “I have prepared the amulet you wanted.”
It was a lifelike dragon pendant made specifically for her.
Seeing the gem pendant, her eyes lit up.
As a CEO and the wealthiest woman in Lightdom City, she had seen many luxury items and appreciated numerous antiques, sculptures, and artworks.
However, this pendant still amazed her.
It was like a work of art carved by God, with every stroke filled with a magical charm. It was simply like a divine artifact.
Moreover, after coming into contact with the pendant, she felt a refreshing sensation spreading through her body, bringing a sense of relief to her previously troubled mind.
Being knowledgeable and experienced, she instantly understood that this emerald pendant was extraordinary.
Thus, it seemed certain to her that h had put a lot of thought into it.
“Thank you.”
