Chapter 111: “you wouldn’t be going into the underworld like everyone else.” Jim grabbed his head, if he still had his hair, he would have pulled his hair out of its root in disbelief. Rex was equally shocked but he didn’t have a dramatic reaction to it.Ruben on the other hand didn’t show any visible reaction, he had suspected Tess held a position close to the leader of the underworld. Alpha observed all three of them, as soon as his eyes reached Ruben, he nodded in approval. He was always worried about Tess’s spouse but it seemed she made the right choice.Although Ruben had no visible reaction, Alpha caught a hint of worry flashed past his eyes, there have been many cases even in the other world of men being jealous of their wives holding commendable positions in the society, some of which could later result to homicide if matters escalated, especially in the underworld.Ruben showing signs of worry was indeed commendable, only a man that truly loves his woman will show such a rea

Shannon giggled coquettishly, one could tell she was into Tess. “How may I help you today?” Tess glanced at the old man and little boy from the corner of her eyes.

Chapter 115: “Are you ready for a warm up, boys?”“What’s wrong? Cat’s got your tongue?” Tess leaned in closer onto the table.“N-no, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood my kind gesture, but that’s fine, guards, clear the tray.” Ed moved quickly.Regal stood in front of the table preventing the guard from coming any closer. As soon as he heard Tess mention poison, he felt anger brimming from within him. The thought that he could have lost her right in front of his eyes made his insides churn.“I’m afraid you have to drink the oolong tea you like so much.” Tess said, moving the cup in front of Ed.Ed froze, no one has ever challenged him like that. “I-I am full now, it’s better for the guards to clean it if you can’t drink it.”“Drink it.” Tess said curtly. Her almond shaped eyes lost their cute features and transformed to give a blood sucking sensation.Ed was hypnotized. Subconsciously, his hands reached for the cup.

With every ounce of strength with her, she threw him against the bed and climbed on top of him. “You don’t want me anymore?” She asked, tears brimming in her eyes. “…” Arnold was silent, trying to discern if she had been drinking.“D-do you also believe the rumors about me being Involved with my adopted father’s death?” Elaine asked, her tears fell like a rainfall. She looked so vulnerable, like a dainty beauty. Although Arnold was her closest aide, he wasn’t aware of any of her evil deeds or corruption.
