Xander Youngblood had a secret no one knew about—all his dreams would come true. However, he had been having the same dream since stepping into adulthood. In his dimly lit dreamland, a woman’s delicate body resembled a ball of fire, slowly setting him into flames. “Let go of me…” The woman’s voice sounded strained and desperate. “You initiated this.” His attractive voice lingered in the woman’s ears. A layer of mist covered the woman’s face, so he could only make out her helpless eyes. “It was you…” The woman managed to say a few words while placing her cold, weak hands against the man’s toned waist, seemingly wanting to push him away but also playing hard to get. Then, a delicate mutter rang in his ear. “I… I’m scared…” The woman’s cold fingers did not abate the warmth from the skin around them. Instead, they only made her seem more desirable to Xander. Gradually, the two indulged in their desires. Although the woman did not get the response she hoped for, the man was much gentler than before. She felt like she was in an illusion and got drunk in it. The darkness loomed over Xander’s layback and cold side profile. The mole below the corner of his right eye stood out like a sore thumb, adding a touch of elegance and nobility to his somewhat rough-looking eyes. After who knew how long, he slowly opened his eyes and frowned, feeling his head throbbing. It’s that dream again! He still could not make out the woman’s face or remember her voice, but this time, an additional faint fragrance appeared in his dream. Then, he noticed a unique scent in the air, a blend of bitter medicinal herbs and a fresh fragrance. It was the same smell from his dreams. Focusing on the messy bed, Xander saw a noticeable speck of red on the bed sheets. His pupils contracted as his mind instantly cleared. The things he saw last night were not a dream! A while later, he found a ruby necklace inside the hotel room. It was a high-end custom luxury item from his company. With a puzzled expression, he grabbed his phone and parted his thin lips, ordering, “Jonathan, can you check…” … That night, Yolanda Rose dragged her exhausted body out of the hotel and escaped. When she arrived at the Xavier Residence and was about to push the door open, she heard a gloating voice. Wendy Butler covered her lips while laughing. “That b*tch isn’t home yet, which means Mr. Quinlan must be satisfied with our gift.” Meanwhile, Gordon Xavier poured himself a glass of red wine. His cheeks were flushed, putting on a smug look. “We’ll have nothing to worry about ever again if we manage to get into the same boat as Mr. Quinlan!” Hearing what was said, Yolanda shivered. She pushed the door open with a pale complexion and questioned, “Was the man at the hotel of your doing?” Last night, Sofia Xavier called Yolanda, asking her to send a custom necklace to Eldonna Hotel because she needed it to attend a party. However, Yolanda did not expect to get forcefully pulled into a pitch-black room. After what had happened, she escaped without knowing what the man looked like and lost the necklace. When faced with her accusations, the unfazed Gordon taunted, “So what if it was me? You aren’t even related to the Xavier Family. We’ve been providing for you for many years. It’s about time you repay us.” Moreover, you’re a woman, so this situation is where you’re worth the most. Trembling slightly, Yolanda scoffed. “The Rose Family is my adopted family. What does that have to do with the Xavier Family?” Born as an orphan, she was adopted by her infertile adoptive mother, Nina Rose, at age five. As for Gordon, he was the Roses’ live-in son-in-law. Since Nina passed away from cancer, and Old Mr. Rose was bedridden due to illness, the modest Gordon instantly revealed his vicious nature! He sent Old Mr. Rose, Philip Rose, to a nursing home and took over the Rose Family properties. Wendy snorted. “The food you eat, the place you stay, and all the college fees. Aren’t we the ones paying for those?” Does she think that money is spent for nothing? Digging her nails into her palms, Yolanda stared angrily at her. After marrying Nina for many years, Gordon found a mistress whom he immediately married and brought home after Nina’s passing! Being the adopted child, Yolanda’s days in the Xavier Residence had become more treacherous, especially with the presence of Wendy’s daughter. “Stop with the nonsense. Since the deed’s been done, you should just admit it!” He put on a fake smile, confident that Yolanda could not escape his grasp, and poured her a cup of water. “As long as you continue to please Mr. Quinlan, you can get the best of both worlds.” Ungrateful b*stard! She pushed away the cup he offered to her. Gordon came from a small town, and if Philip had not been so kind as to help him, he would not have reached his heights today. However, the ungrateful man had now exposed his ugly nature. “You don’t know what’s good for you, eh?” Seeing her defying him, he became displeased. The atmosphere in the room became so tense that it felt like it would explode at any moment until someone’s phone rang. Yolanda looked at her device and saw it was a call from the nursing home’s director. Then, she heard the director’s anxious voice. “Yolanda, Old Mr. Rose fell and is now…” Grandpa! She felt her heart almost stopped beating, quickly saying, “I’m coming!” Then, she ignored the Xaviers and ran out of the Xavier Residence. … On the villa’s second floor, the heavily made-up Sofia leaned against the exquisitely designed stairs, watching everything. How dare that b*tch try to take Lucas from me! Then, she tidied up her wavy waist-length hair and took out her phone to dial a number. A vicious smile appeared as she spoke, “Mr. Quinlan, when will you send me the pictures you promised?” She was eager to see Lucas’ reaction when he saw the photos of Yolanda sleeping with an old man! However, before she could celebrate, her smile instantly stiffened. “What? That b*tch was not at the hotel? But that’s impossible!” “Pfft. You tricked me into waiting at the hotel until now. Very well.” The man scoffed and hung up. His words were a threat, and though he spoke slowly and attractively, there was a trace of warning amidst his cold voice. She could not help but shiver as she frantically ran downstairs to tell her parents. “Mom, Dad, what are we going to do now?” Although they did not know what happened in the middle, offending Mr. Quinlan meant they were doomed! “That little b*tch…” Gordon reprimanded, frantically calling Mr. Quinlan with flushed cheeks but found the latter had blocked him. The Xaviers were restless throughout the night, tense and nervous. The following morning, they were almost in despair when a bunch of strangers showed up at the door. The six suit-clad bodyguards stood in two rows while a handsome man approached them, asking, “May I know who Miss Sofia Xavier is?” “I am.” Jonathan Hex took out a ruby necklace. “This is a custom necklace you left in the hotel room. Our president got drunk last night and accidentally…” He stopped after successfully conveying his message, but Gordon felt his eye twitching after hearing that. That little b*tch did do something wrong! With a gentle smile, Jonathan continued, “Our president is deeply sorry for that, but don’t worry, Miss Xavier, we will come out with a satisfactory answer for you on this matter.” “May I know who he is?” “Mr. Xander Youngblood.” Hearing that, Sofia nearly dropped the necklace in her hand, after which he returned the jewelry and assured her, “Please wait patiently.” Once all the bodyguards left, she finally muttered in shock, “Xander Youngblood… It’s Xander Youngblood!” Confused by her daughter’s behavior, Wendy asked, “Who’s Xander Youngblood? Is he powerful?” “Xander Youngblood is the only heir to Youngblood Group, owned by the Youngbloods, the wealthiest family in Eldoria. He established his own perfume brand, Cloudscent Enterprise, at the age of twenty. Then, he developed it into an internationally-known brand in just a few years!” Sofia’s eyes reddened; rumor had it that Xander never allowed women anywhere near him. How could Yolanda be so lucky? “We mustn’t let Xander find out about Yolanda. We have to cease her existence!” A sly glint flashed across Gordon’s eyes. “Mr. Quinlan is migrating abroad soon, so we must send Yolanda to him by any means necessary.” That way, they could calm Mr. Quinlan’s anger and ensure that Yolanda could never return to Eldoria. “I heard Mr. Quinlan has several fetishes. The women who fall in his hands would either turn up dead or crippled…” A hint of excitement appeared in Sofia’s eyes as she believed Yolanda was doomed and no longer a threat!
