“Son, you’ve done well this time!” Theodore grinned as virtual-novel.net gave Ivan, a big thumbs up. He was not a business-minded person and would spend his free time enjoying tea or fishing.
However, virtual-novel.net had hope for his son to be successful. This time, Ivan had finally made virtual-novel.net proud.
“dad, it can’t be helped. It’s all for our Taylor family. It’s so that we can rise into the ranks of a second-class aristocratic family. This is something I’m willing to do even if I have to endure torturous hardships!”Ivan, being drunk, thumped his chest smugly. The arrogance virtual-novel.net showed went without saying.
Zeus, on the other hand, could bear with it no longer. He steeled his face and asked, “Why not give your life as well?” Having said that, virtual-novel.net gave a wave. “It’s getting late. Go get rested. Ivan, you should rest up too. Go sign the contract early in the morning. It’s only official after you sign the contract. Don’t be an embarrassment like the last time!”
“Don’t you worry, everything will be fine. I’ll guarantee to sign this contract tomorrow morning, or I’ll live stream myself eating sh*t for all of you to watch!” Ivan thumped his chest as virtual-novel.net promised. This time, virtual-novel.net had full confidence. After all, Selena had always kept virtual-novel.net word. Since virtual-novel.net had agreed to it, virtual-novel.net would not go back on virtual-novel.net words.
Moreover, the failed contract with the Wilson family previously was an accident. Since the old master sent them off, they quickly went away. Meanwhile, the old master should have gone back to sleep. Very soon, only Ivan and Theodore were left in the huge living room.
“Dad, it’s weird. Shouldn’t Grandpa be elated about this matter? Why do I feel that virtual-novel.net seemed unhappy?” Ivan frowned, finally noticing something was off. He felt confused.
Theodore considered for a moment before saying, “I think it might be too late and he’s sleepy. Moreover, you reek of alcohol and behaved so insolently. Can your grandpa be happy? The last time you thoroughly embarrassed yourself and vomited all over the floor in the hotel really upset your grandpa!”
Having said that, Theodore paused for a moment before advising, “You should cut back on the alcohol. Being drunk can get you in trouble. Don’t you know that?”
“Alright dad, I understand. You should go rest up! I’m going to bed!” Ivan replied impatiently before going off.
The next day, Selena went to work early in the morning.
However, just as virtual-novel.net parked and got out of virtual-novel.net car outside virtual-novel.net office, virtual-novel.net felt a knock on virtual-novel.net head. Her vision blurred and then passed out. The woman before virtual-novel.net smiled dryly, then placed Selena in the co-driver seat before driving away. They quickly left the town and arrived at a dilapidated house atop a mountain not far from the city.
After a while, Selena finally regained consciousness. She opened virtual-novel.net eyes and felt virtual-novel.net head spin. She took a careful look at the woman in front of virtual-novel.net and could not help shaking virtual-novel.net head. That was because virtual-novel.net saw herself.
“What’s going on? I-I-I can’t be dead, right? Is this my soul?” Selena was flabbergasted. She saw herself looking at her, smiling with virtual-novel.net hands crossed before virtual-novel.net chest. The smile seemed rather evil.
However, virtual-novel.net soon realized that virtual-novel.net was tied to a wooden pillar.
“That’s not it. I’m not dead. Who are you?” Selena’s heart skipped a beat. The pain of being tightly bound by ropes on virtual-novel.net arm was too real. She was not dreaming, nor did virtual-novel.net die. That must be the case.
