Ronald Richardson was gaming in a luxurious suite at a seven-star hotel in Sandviken's CBD, adorned with a high-tech flair, wearing headphones in front of one of the five computers in the living room.  The violence in the game did not alleviate his frustration; it only intensified his irritability. Angrily, he flung his keyboard at the computer screen after his teammate was killed, shattering the display. Cursing, Ronald rose from his gaming chair, grabbed a cigarette from the coffee table, and lit it while calling Stacey Zechariah. "What do you want?" Stacey answered, her tone unfriendly. "Can't I chat with an old friend?" Ronald lounged on the sofa, trying to sound nonchalant. "Don’t bother. Jean Harry clarified that she'll never want to see you again." Stacey's cold laughter came through the phone. As friends who grew up together, Stacey wasn’t taking sides, b

 City S The project negotiation went smoothly, and Murray was in a good mood with the contract signed. Breaking his usual routine, he indulged in some wine at lunch. He was quite tired after a sleepless night and a morning of intense mental exertion. He took a shower in his hotel room, planning to rest a bit before returning to Sandviken. Just as he was falling asleep, his phone rang. It was Cornelius calling. Cornelius briefly reported on what Emily had been up to. Since their last incident where Emily detected their tail, he only had a general idea of her activities. He knew Emily had visited Ronald Richardson, but the specifics were unclear. Murray's instructions were clear: while he was away from Sandviken, he wanted to be informed about Miss Rockefeller's every move. "Got it," Murray said and hung up.

Emily's eyelid twitched; today seemed bizarre as if everyone was targeting her.Lydia Sander was the alias she used for her card registration here. It couldn't be such a coincidence.She cast a sidelong glance at Ronald Richardson, who showed no reaction."This is the place."A young man with a face full of fleshy folds, his head tilted and eye askew, blocked the doorway like a small mountain, peering into the room.Upon seeing Emily, he bellowed, "Sis, I've found that vixen!"Ronald Richardson's words to tell someone off were on the tip of his tongue, but the scene suddenly piqued his interest.Pointing at Emily, he asked the man, "Is she Lydia Sander? The vixen?"Holding his phone, the man compared the image, his chubby finger tapping the screen, "Are you blind? Isn't t

Emily exited the building and went to the small park where Sandy had previously waited for her. Finding a bench by the lake, she prepared to call Sandy. Before she could dial, Sandy's call came through. "Boyce Holt is heading to see Nora Frank." After a moment of thought, Emily instructed, "Organize the recordings you've saved, and whatever he says to Nora Frank today, package it all and send it to me." "Okay." After hanging up, Emily sat on the bench, mulling over the day's events. Ronald Richardson's appearance was unexpected; he must have been seeking revenge and followed her there. Nora Frank manipulated Caroline. No wonder Nora had been so persistent in talking to her that day, trying to extract information. Then, using the recorded conversation, Nora used Caroline to indirectly attack Emily. This also suggested that Nora didn't want

Haley Bertie swiftly approached Jean Harry, deftly retrieving her phone from her pocket and handing it to her. Jean, phone in hand, stepped aside to take the call.Stacey Zechariah, noticing Murray's entrance, naturally moved to his side, draping her arm around his. With a hint of discontent, she urged, "You really need to keep a tighter leash on your bro." Ronald was eager to see Jean, hoping for a chance to mend their relationship. But that pesky Haley Bertie always tags along.Watching Haley Bertie and Jean Harry's overly affectionate demeanor, he felt a surge of irritation. When Jean returned from her phone call with Harry, Ronald pulled Emily into his arms. "Let me introduce you all to my girlfriend, Emily Rockefeller," he declared suddenly. Caught off guard and still pondering over how to act now that Murray had arrived, Emily found herself suddenly claimed by Ronald Richardson as his girlfriend, struggling to react in time.There she was, encircled in Ronald's arms, becomin
