Chapter 1
The room was a hot mess. A man and a woman were tangled up like a pair of intertwined snakes.
Under the sunlight, their bodies were twisted tightly together.
When Frederick Winston woke up, he found a woman snuggled into his arm, her face covered by her
hair, making it hard to see her features.
This woman shifted her neck slightly, murmuring in her sleep and unconsciously burrowed into his
embrace.
Frederick had a splitting headache and realized that the woman in his arms was naked. Her skin had a
sexy glow under the sunlight that made his almond–shaped eyes squint slightly.
His eyebrows furrowed as he instinctively looked around. Then, he suddenly remembered all the things
happenedst night.
At thepany’s anniversary celebration, he had drank quite much and crashed in his hotel room.
In his half awake state, the woman wrapped herself around him. Their skin–to–skin contact filled the air
with a steamy atmosphere.
So, in a blurry haze, they did the deed.
Turns out,st night wasn’t just a dream, it was real.
Frederick’s expression darkened instantly. He rolled out of bed, hurriedly put on his clothes, his gaze
swept over the bedsheet and then came to a
sudden halt.
The red stains on the bedsheet, like a blooming flower, caught his eye.
To his surprise, she was a virgin.
All of a sudden, he had an urge to see what the woman, whose virginity he took, looked like.
Hisrge hand was about to brush away the hair obstructing her face, but he stopped just before
touching her.
This was just a one–night stand, no need to get hung up on it.
After all, the women who wanted to sleep with him were only after his money and status.
His hand moved towards the suit on the bed, and Frederick bolted from the room.
But what he didn’t know was that as he picked up his suit, a ne that had fallen from the woman’s
neck got caught on it. The ne was swept away along with his suit.
Ten minutester, a Rolls–Royce Cullinan raced down the bustling streets.
The CEO Frederick’s assistant Chuck was respectfully reporting work, but Frederick seemed a bit
distracted, his thoughts started to wander.
He thought about the sweet scent he seemed to have smelledst night. He began to wonder if it was
just his imagination.
After all, he lost his sense of smell in a car ident three years ago.
“Mr. Winston, there’s a resident on Cedarbrook Street that refuses to move. The demolition department
is at a loss,” Chuck reported.
“What’s the reason?” he asked, snapping back to reality.
“That family runs a casino, they are drowning in gambling debts. They think thepensation we
offered for relocation is too low, so they are asking for more. If that plot ofnd isn’t demolished, it will
affect our uing bids,” Chuck exined.
Frederick, sitting in the back seat, squinted his eyes and immediately gave an order, “To Cedarbrook
Street.”
Chuck was surprised but quickly understood Frederick’s intention.
It appeared that Frederick was going to handle this matter personally.
Soon, the driver changed direction, and the car started heading towards Cedarbrook Street.
Just then, the suit draped over his shoulder began to vibrate.
As Frederick reached into his pocket to find his phone, a pendant suddenly dropped onto the floor..
It was a ne with a stunning sapphire. The surface of the gem was carved with a floral pattern
surrounded by a ring of tiny, dazzling
diamonds.
Frederick bent over to pick up the ne. His deep eyesnded on the sparkling gem, his pupils
quivered.
Was this ne hers?
Was it her?
The person he had been searching for over a decade, could it be the woman he spentst night with?
Chuck looked at Frederick with a puzzled expression, “Mr. Winston, this is…?”
Frederick clutched the ne like a treasure, a small smile ying on his lips, “Track down someone
for me.”
“Who is it, Mr. Winston?”
“A woman.”
Chuck’s eyes widened in surprise, “A woman?”

What was going on here?
Mr. Winston wanted to find a woman? This was shocking.
It wasn’t surprising that Chuck was surprised, after all, Frederick was a legendary figure in Stonebridge
City.
In the world of wealthy families, the family business is always inherited by the rightful heirs, no
exceptions. But Frederick, being an illegitimate child, broke this tradition.
In less than three years since he took over, he turned Stonebridge City’s top wealthy family, the
Winston Group, into the world’s top business empire.
The Winston Group was involved in many industries, not only globally renowned real estate but also a
perfumepany. Its unique scent drove all women crazy.
But the man in charge of the Winston Group, Frederick, has been single for 28 years.
There were even rumors that he… didn’t like women.
Chuck was stunned for a moment before he found his voice again, “Mr. Winston, can you give me a
search scope?”
*Regal Haven Hotel, Room 1205. Between 11 PMst night and 10 AM this morning.”
Regal Haven Hotel?
Did Mr. Winston take that girl to the hotel?
Chuck forced himself to calm down, his hand trembling as he pulled out his phone to immediately
contact the person in charge of the Regal
Haven Hotel
Meanwhile, Frederickzily leaned back into thefortable seat, the ne clutched in his hand.
The sapphire sparkled under the sunlight.
The sternness in his eyes faded away, reced by endless tenderness.
His mind was filled with the image of a little girl from fifteen years ago, who held a loaf of bread in her
hands and saved him in the snow.
He was only thirteen then, an illegitimate son of the Winston Group who was not acknowledged by the
family, cruelly kicked out of the house along with his mother and dumped in the middle of nowhere.
During those desperate times, if it weren’t for the generous little girl, he and his mother would have
starved to death.
Now, he was the king of this city, and the only one he cared about was that little girl.
He kept reying in his mind how the little girl had told him in her soft, childlike voice, “Will you marry
me when you grow up? This is my ne, remember what it looks like, so you can find me in the
future!”
He had to find her!
He had promised to marry her since he was just a kid, and he was damn sure gonna make it happen!
