No one knew how Milton spent his time other than his trusted aide, Thomas Cox.
Milton had gone into hiding to lick his wounds. He kept telling himself to forget this woman over and over again, yet now, he still couldn’t resist showing up in front of her.
“Hmph!” Lea <b>gave </b>a scornful sport. She only

She was already tired of repeating <b>things </b>like “Stay away” or “Your behavior disgusts me” Besides, this man would never listen..
Thus, Lea chose to ignore Milion. “If Alfred doesn’te to me, it’s because he has his own difficulties. He wille to me eventually
Lea had absolute faith in Alfred
Milton pursed his <b>thin </b>lips and restrained the emotions in his eyes. His <b>naturally </b>sharp gaze observed Lea intently.
She seemed to have grown taller. The beautiful gown entuated her slender and graceful figure. As the ray of light shone down, her smooth, sun- kissed skin glowed. She was indescribably beautiful, pure, and proud.
Despite the presence of so many socialites, Milton only had eyes for Lea.
All thoughts had vanished from <b>his </b>mind except this one. All he wanted was to possess her…
“Lea, let me send you back. Alfred will contact you after tonight” Milion had relinquished all scheming and rationality at this moment. He only wanted to treat this woman he had <b>taken </b>a fancy to in his own way.
<b>Lea </b>turned around and gave him a skeptical look
“I believe that if one keeps thinking about someone, the other party will respond.” Milton uttered these words so calmly <b>and </b>with such deep

Lea’s expression turned frosty. Feeling bored, she distanced herself from Milton, took a sip of champagne, and began to think.
What was the old manke Andrews going to do tonight?
Milton wanted to follow Lea <b>at </b>first, but he knew that she <b>hated </b>him. If he followed her, would simply move
we further <b>away</b>. Hence, he stood nearby quietly to apany her.
“What’s wrong with him<b>?</b>” Jonah Manning walked up <b>to </b>
to Lea with a ss of red wine in his h
hand. He raised <b>his </b>ss to point in Milton’s direction.

Lea batted her eyelids. “He hasn’t <b>given </b>up because he’s hopeful that he still stand a chance. Once that hope vanishes, he will <b>naturally </b>give up?
“Tak<b>, </b>t?k, isk” Jonah looked at Lea <b>in </b>admiration. Lea, you’re so dangerous. Fortunately, I don’t fancy you. Chherwise…”
He rubbed <b>his </b>chest <b>in </b>a mock disy of protecting his heart.

Lea looked at him from the corner of her eye. “Have you also fallen deeply in love before. Mr. Manning!”
She did not know much about Jonah’s personal rtionships in her previous life.
Jonal’s expression clouded over and he instantly changed the topic. “To me, you are the key to <b>wealth</b>. When you defeat Milton Andrews, swallow him. But if you fail, I will swallow you.
With that, he raised his ss to toast lier before draining the red wine in his ss.
“Very well. You are indeed an excellent choice of coboration partner” Lea also raised her ss and took a sip of champagne.
Jonah’s smile then faded. Is Ivan Berry really your younger brother?
“He’s my older brother.”
I will
Jonah was speechless for <b>a </b>while before adding. “Hispetitive talent is quite <b>amazing</b>. I <b>n </b>to <b>buy </b>over his <b>team </b>and enter the team in e–sports,”
This was the real reason Jonah approached Lea,
“He’s better at game design, As long as he wants to, he can be the future king of the gaming world,” Lea replied.
Jonah’s eyes widened <b>and </b>a sharp light sparkleil in his eyes. “Is he really your boological young older brother?” In other words, that fellow was also <b>an </b>incredible genius like his sister.
<b>Lea </b>did not answer.
However, <b>Jonah </b><b>didn’t </b>mind since he <b>had </b>already gotten the information he wanted. Though Ewan Berry himself is mediocre, I am surprised the children he gave birth to all inherited the talent genes of the Berry family”
Jonah did not know the Berry family very well. He treated Lea as a true friend so he would not investigate further. In his mind, the Berry family was a family of genes.
<b>Lea </b><b>nced </b>at <b>him </b>but did not <b>say </b>anything.
If this fellow studied the Berry family closely, he would realize that her talent and <b>Ivan’s </b>stood out from the rest.
Lea wasn’t expecting to keep this matter under wraps for long.

Jonah was only concerned about the new key to wealth he had found. He swept his gaze across the crowd and caught sight of t blue–gray hair walking up to a girl in a green dress.
Jonah’s eyebrows twitched. <b>Was </b><b>that </b>fellow going to flirt with one of the daughters of the Andrews family?
<b>The </b><b>daughter </b>of the Andrews family’s fourth son was unique among the top socialites. Apart from her eye–popping family background and <b>talent </b>she <b>was </b><b>also </b>the most hardworking and sessful.
Furthermore, she <b>was </b>an unworldly introvert, which made her unapproachable.
In some <b>ways</b>, she was very simr to Lea, yet these twodies werepletely different people.
Among the aristocratic <b>families </b>in Iverton, there was none that did not want to secure a marriage alliance with the Andrews family. In spite of this, no one dared to <b>have </b>any designs on this ughter of the Andrews <b>family</b>. The main reason was that no one was confident that they could win her
“What does he like? How can I buy him over?” Jonah asked Lea. He <b>was </b>determined to get his hands on Ivan
“He probably takes to do whatever he pleases.”
Jonah frowned at once.

Jonah’s brows then rxed. “Interesting”
After listening to Lea, he did not approach Ivan imunediately. Instead, he hovered at Lea’s side.
Lea checked the time on her watch. When she raised her head, she caught sight of a figure not far away and <b>was </b><b>startled</b>.
She nodded at Jonah to excuse herself before heading toward that figure. From afar, it was impossible to tell who she was <b>talking </b>to
“Brian, why are you here?”
Anyone could attend this event today, but Brian Wright of Dark Thnion would never show up without a good reason.

Brian already noticed Lea as soon as she headed in his direction. This woman was astonishingly beautiful, to begin with. Coupled with her stunning gown, she was the center of attention wherever she went.
Fortunately, the location where Brian and Lea were was remote and there were few people near them.
It was rare to have such <b>a </b>banquet where the upper echelons all attended. Everyone made use of every avable opponunity to set up matchmaking dates and discuss business <b>deals</b>.

Brian leaned closer and discreetly wiped the cold sweat <b>from </b>his temples. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear. “The p assigned to protect will show up here today<b>.</b>”
Lea’s eyes widened. That important figure whom some countries wanted to protect was going to:
