Chapter 43


    The next day, two big news were released in Pollerton.


    The Wilson family in Tayhaven had established an international investmentpany. Thatpany


    had set foot in different industries such as pharmaceutical, luxury goods, and real estate


    development. Besides, Jennifer was the Chairman of thepany.


    Everyone was utterly shocked upon hearing the news.


    They could not help but wonder about Jennifer''s identity and background. After all, they had never


    heard of her name before.


    Regardless, the Wilson family in Tayhaven was Jennifer''s backing. That was why most


    conglomerates felt threatened.


    Everyone knew who Tayhaven King was. He was a behemoth rooted in Tayhaven. In short, he had


    the right to call the final say on all matters in Tayhaven.


    Hence, many wondered what would happen after that powerful family joined Pollerton.


    The second news was about the return of the Rodriguez family to Pollerton. Furthermore, they had


    announced theireback by establishing a newpany, Noah International Group.


    When Lana heard about the news, she stretched her bodyzily. “Things are getting more and more


    interesting,” she said softly.


    She was wearing a tight-fitting dress with a pair of ck stiletto heels. Moreover, she had a red


    thread around one of her ankles. Her skin was fair and delicate, looking sexy and alluring.


    Suddenly, someone pushed the door open.


    The moment Donald stepped into the room, he unintentionally saw Lana''s red panties between her


    thighs.


    Wow! What a lucky day.


    However, he pretended to keep his eyes to the front.


    “Don''t make me scold you foring in without permission.” Lana immediately crossed her legs


    tightly. She then rolled her eyes at him.


    “I didn''t see anything.” There was no expression on Donald''s face.


    Why are you so nervous? I didn''t mean to look at your panties on purpose. He rolled his eyes inside


    his heart.


    Lana sat straight and asked, “What do you want?”

    Donald took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to her. “I heard that you recognize these


    words.”


    As soon as Lana took over the papers, her expression turned grim. “These are thetest version of


    ciphertexts used by Papillon. Where did you find them?”


    “I''ve killed Bet, the Four-Faced Angel,” Donald replied calmly.


    Lana widened her clear, beautiful eyes in bewilderment as her breathing quickened. “Seriously?”


    She fixated her eyes on Donald, saying, “I''m even more curious about your identity now.


    Donald ignored her question. “What are these papers about?”


    “I can''t decipher them on my own. At least two people are needed to do that,” Lana said.


    “Then ask Reina toe and help us,” Donald said.


    “You''re really well informed, aren''t you? That''s scary.” Lana rolled her eyes affectionately at him.


    She took out her phone, preparing to invite Reina over.


    A momentter, she asked, “She said she''lle tomorrow. Do you have anything to do today?”


    Donald pondered for a while before answering, “Not as of now.”


    “Okay. Apany me to go and meet an important person, then,” Lana said.


    “Is it Lilith?” Donald asked.


    “You still have the cheek to ask me that? You told me you would apany me there yesterday,


    but you ran away in the end. You know, I need you to protect me now,” Lanained.


    Nheless, Donald would not believe a single word she said. He stood still silently like a log, not


    giving her any reaction.


    Upon seeing that, Lana decided to stop joking. “I''m meeting the director of Southwood Emerce


    District today. He''s young and capable. He must be a rich, good-looking man. Perhaps I should try


    approaching him. What do you think? Will you feel jealous?”


    “Are you out of your mind? Why would I feel jealous?” Donald uttered.


    Lana was taken aback by his words. Feeling infuriated, she almost stood up and punched him in the


    face.


    “Go and get yourself ready. I''ve agreed to meet him in the emerce districtter.” Lana changed


    the topic.


    Ten minutester, Donald drove Lana''s Aston Martin, which cost fortyeight million, to the


    destination.


    Southwood Emerce District covered an area of five hundred and thirty thousand square


    meters. Moreover, it had a market value of more than thirty billion.


    Donald did not know that those were actually his assets.


    The moment he got in the car, Charles called him. “Lord Campbell, are you free today?”


    “What''s wrong?” Donald asked while driving.


    “Can youe over to Seasons Hotel?” Charles asked politely.


    Donald was startled. Coincidentally, Seasons Hotel was located in Southwood Emerce District


    too. Hence, he could drop by there on his way. “Sure.”


    Lana did not hear anything. She was taking a rest with her eyes closed.


    She had changed into acy top and a pair of slim-fit pants. Besides that, she wore a pair of ck


    heels, looking elegant and


    demure.


    “This is a limited Aston Martin. Currently, there are only three of them in our country. Each of them


    cost forty-eight million,” Lana said out of the blue.


    “Oh,” Donald responded. It seemed like he was not surprised.


    Suddenly, Lana''s interest piqued. She looked at Donald''s side profile and asked, “Do you want to


    consider dating me? I can give you this car as a present.”


    Donald shook his head. “Nope.”


    Lana added, “You''re so dense! Do you know how many men are waiting to date me? What an


    insensitive, unromantic man!”


    “I know,” Donald answered.


    “Then, am I pretty?” Lana tucked her hair behind her ear, showing her perfect side profile.


    “You''re okay.”
