L left the cafeteria hall and entered the office building in the factory area. The gifts he received today were temporarily stored in a utility room on the first floor of the office building.


    “Mr. Willis!” A young man guarding the door greeted L as he approached.


    “That’s enough, you can go eat now. I’ll take a look inside,” L waved his hand dismissively.


    The young man hesitated for a moment but eventually left as instructed. In seconds, L walked into the utility room and saw all of his gifts piled up inside.


    His eyes settled on a pair of golden ornaments made of copper with ayer of gold ting on top, hollowed out inside and about the size of an adult cat. With his dragon energy infused vision, he could see that one contained a timed bomb that had not yet been activated.


    After all, Romeo and Harlow were still here eating; they couldn’t just blow themselves up along with them! Their supposed desire to reconcile was nothing but ill intentions! To think they wanted to create an explosion together? He couldn’t imagine what serious consequences would have urred if they hadn’t been discovered today!


    This father-daughter duo was truly malicious!


    Just then, L sensed someone approaching him and quickly shifted his gaze away from those ornaments to feign greediness over all these gifts instead.


    “L?” Harlow walked into the utility room with her sultry voice trailing behind her while shutting door behind her without thinking twice about it.


    Her eyes flickered for a moment before settling onto L as she asked sweetly, “L, why did youe here instead of eating?”


    At this moment, Harlow spoke to L in a sweet and charming manner, making people feel a bit ufortable, like being scratched by cat ws. However, L seemed impervious to her charm, coughed expressionlessly, and said, “Nothing much,e and take a look at these gifts. Do you have something on your mind?”


    Harlow scrutinized L for a few moments and discerned a hint of embarrassment and greed on his face. She secretly sneered in her heart: This guy is, in the end, just an ordinary guy from amon family, fundamentally an ipetent loser. Look at this inexperienced appearance, he even came specially to inspect these gifts? Looking at these gifts, acting as if he couldn’t take his eyes off them, tsk tsk…


    “Oh! Brother-inw, are you satisfied with the gift my dad and I gave you today?”


    “Take a good look at this. It’s a treasure that brings wealth and prosperity. You and my cousin must disy it in the office.”


    Harlow rolled her eyes a few times, deliberately pointing at the gift as she spoke.


    She thought the more she made L carefully examine this decoration, the less likely he would be suspicious of the item.


    Hearing this, a hint of mockery shed in L’s starry eyes, but he waved his hand nonchntly and said, “What’s there to see? It’s just a gilded trinket, not worth much money.”


    Saying that, he shifted his gaze to the side, showing a somewhat disinterested demeanor.


    Harlow, seeing this, secretly chuckled in her heart.


    In the next moment, she fluttered her eyshes and approached L, her tone bing tender and sweet, “Brother-inw, today I’vee to make peace with you, and you haven’t shown any reaction. Before, it was my fault for not recognizing your talents. Now, I finally realize that you are a real man. Not only are you powerful, but you also have remarkable medical skills! Although youe from a humble background, you are much more impressive than those so-called wealthy yboys. I find that I seem to admire you a bit and even envy my cousin Miranda a little.”


    Harlow, as she spoke, ced her hand on L’s chest, gazing at him with affectionate eyes. L, noticing this, furrowed his brows and asked, “What do you mean?”Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Harlow bit her lip and pressed her body against L, saying, “Brother-inw, don’t you understand what I mean?”


    She continued in a coquettish tone, “Don’t think I don’t know. Although you and Miranda have been married for so long and even had a grand wedding, she hasn’t let you touch her until now, right? You must be frustrated. With your abilities, why confine yourself to one person? Brother-inw, do you think I’m pretty? Last time, you caused me to break up with Kacper, and now no one wants me! It’s all your fault, hm!”


    As she spoke, she looked at L with silky seduction, and her fingers drew circles on his chest.


    L, seeing this, revealed a mischievous smile, unabashedly wrapping his arms around Harlow’s waist, looking quite lecherous. “Oh? Harlow, no one wants you?”


    Seeing this, Harlow chuckled inwardly and didn’t resist L’s embrace. She thought, “Men are indeed like this. Just a bit of charm, and this guy is already captivated. It seems that Miranda, that high-and-mighty woman, has really kept him at bay all this time.”


    Harlow wasn’t afraid that L would actually do something to her here. Deep down, she even hoped that something might happen between them. Although she resented and hated this man, she couldn’t deny that this guy was quite impressive. If possible, she wouldn’t mind turning a staged act into reality and taking L away from Miranda.


    The conflicts between her, Miranda, and L had roots in her jealousy towards Miranda. She liked topare herself to Miranda in everything, but she couldn’t surpass her. However, if she could seduce L, she would feel a sense of superiority.


    “Sure, brother-inw, if you want me, I don’t mind. Just remember to take responsibility for your little sister-inw.”


    Harlow spoke in a soft and flirtatious tone. L nodded and said, “Alright! If the whole world rejects you, remember that I’m here for you.”


    Hearing this, a hint of mockery and satisfaction shed in Harlow’s eyes. This fool was now trying to sweet talk her?


    However, in the next moment, L’s words froze the triumphant and coquettish expression on her face.


    “Because I know a few human traffickers!”


    L spoke with a more wicked smile. Following that, his eyes sharpened, and he forcefully pushed Harlow away.


    “Ah!”


    Caught off guard, Harlow eximed and fell to the ground with a thud. She red fiercely at L, her eyes filled with humiliation and resentment.


    Bastard! This scumbag was ying with her again!


    “You’re a damn scumbag!”


    “Even if I’m starving, I won’t eat something rotten like you. Get lost!” L sneered.
