"..."Heloise's heart raced as she looked at him.Shouldn't he be congratulating her on winning an award? Why was he congratulating her for getting his attention?She didn't want this kind of attention.Reginald stared at her eyes behind the mask, and a faintly amused curve played on his thin lips. His eerie gray eyes seemed like an endless abyss, awaiting her arrival.In that moment, Heloise felt a sudden chill running through her body."That's fine," she said.The next moment, Reginald continued to act as if nothing had happened. He casually handed the award trophy to her and walked away, heading towards the exit.Is he just leaving like this? He's not taking her with him?Heloise quickly grabbed the host and said, "I'm leaving first. I've left the authorization letter and payment details on your work table outside. Just make the payment.""Eh? Wait, you haven't said anything about the award..." The host was bewildered as Heloise, the overweight woman, agilely ran out, leaving him w

She didn't really want to know his secrets, did she?Heloise felt a sudden shiver, and Reginald raised his hand, his long, bony fingers brushing away a wisp of her hair from her forehead, his fingertips trailing over her delicate skin."Little blighter, welcome to my world of games." There was an almost perverse excitement in his eyes.Heloise suddenly felt a chill. Mr. Wordsworth, she hadn't asked, it was he who had volunteered this information, hadn't he?"Anyone entering my world has to abide by one rule, very simple, and that is... you can only have me."Reginald's finger stopped on her face, his handsome face slowly coming closer to her, planting an icy kiss on her forehead. Heloise's heart pounded from the kiss.His childhood was really miserable, and he was genuinely twisted. Her world had hatred and slums, but not him."Remember that," Reginald's tone was like he was pampering a little pet, with affection and tenderness, yet every word was cruel, "If you forget, the consequenc

Their gazes met through the rain and mist, a distance of several meters.The moment Reginald saw her, his thin lips curled slightly, a gesture he was not even aware of himself.He waved at her as if calling a pet, inviting her to come closer.Heloise walked towards him, with Jane and Harriet incredibly nervous.When she reached him, Reginald grabbed her hand and pulled her from under the guards' umbrellas into his own shelter.She stood close to him, her eyes falling on the photographs on the two tombstones, both of them stunningly beautiful women.Considering how exceptionally handsome Reginald was, his mother and sister could not have been ordinary either."These are my mother and my sister," Reginald said, his gaze still on her, noticing her fascination with the photos. His voice was low and deep as he asked, "Do you know how to offer prayers?"Heloise glanced at him, and Reginald set the umbrella aside, handing it to one of the guards.Then, he enclosed her within his arms, holdin

"Shut your mouth, I find your voice nauseating," Reginald said with a sinister glance. "Mr. Wordsworth..." What did he mean? He brought her in and then said her voice was nauseating? "Take her to the adjacent room and make sure I don't see her," Reginald ordered the bodyguard who followed him. What? Coral, soaked to the bone, stared in shock and was dragged up from the ground by the bodyguard, who proceeded to pull her towards the adjacent room. Bewildered, she looked at Reginald. "Mr. Wordsworth, what do you mean by this? You invited me, you brought me in, how can you treat a girl like this... Mm-mm." Before she could finish her sentence, the bodyguard forcefully covered her mouth. He pushed her into the adjacent room and, in a hushed tone, said, "Shut up, okay? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" He didn't mind her getting herself killed. Mr. Wordsworth can be quick-tempered, and the bodyguard doesn't want to further bother him. "Mm-mm-mm..." Coral was frustrated to t

Obviously, this group of people is here with malicious intent. Heloise instinctively stood in front of Jane and Harriet. "Ahh!" Coral's friends were frightened by the sudden appearance of these armed individuals. Coral was in the middle of a phone call when she saw this, and she dropped her phone in shock. She stepped back, inadvertently bumping into Heloise. Heloise extended her hand and pushed Coral forward. Coral screamed and bumped into one of the men, who then grabbed her. "Boss, it's her!" he said. "Take her," someone ordered. Heloise quickly realized the situation: it was a kidnapping. Bena, trembling, had hidden to the side and was trying to call the police, but one of the kidnappers pointed at her, saying, "Don't be afraid to die by calling the police!" "Ahh, ahh!" Bena screamed and dropped her phone. Coral was being forcibly taken toward the vehicle, shouting, "What are you doing? Don't take me! My boyfriend is Reginald Wordsworth!" "Humph, if you weren't Reginald
