No way, after a soak later, she must give herself a few needles to relieve stress.
Raina North unlocked the entrance door with her keys, and was met by a room filled with brightness.
Raina was a bit puzzled. Why were the lights on? Did the cleaner forget to turn them off before leaving?
Forget it, she’s too lazy to fuss over such a trivial matter.
Raina casually tossed the keys onto the cabinet and stepped into the living room.
And then, she encountered the biggest fright of her life.
In the spacious living room, two handsome boys were kneeling side by side, dressed in silk shirts.
Their shirts were oversized and loosely hanging, revealing delicate collarbones and skin as fair as jade.
They were handsome and elegant, not top-tier beauties, but rare twins, and more importantly, they looked identical.
At this moment, they were kneeling on the carpet, looking obediently and gently at Raina, softly calling, "Master."
Raina was so frightened that she nearly bit her tongue: "Who are you? You’ve got guts to break into my room!"
The two young men were intimidated by Raina’s attitude but gathered their courage to speak: "My name is Jean."
Then, they spoke in unison: "We were arranged by the Third Elder to accompany you in playing dice."
No wonder when that old geezer left with Pip Finch and Lune earlier, he had such a strange expression; it turns out he arranged this for her.
Alright then, this is just too much, utterly reckless! This content belongs to Nove1Fire.net
The Third Elder sneezed heavily, puzzled about who might be thinking of him at this late hour.
But he didn’t have time to ponder as Pip Finch was already charging at him like a mad dog, yelling.
Raina took a deep breath, suppressing her anger: "No need, you can go back."
The two young men immediately had red-rimmed eyes, Jean said, "Alliance Hierarch, did we do something wrong?"
Shane added, "Alliance Hierarch, please give us another chance; we swear we’ll do better."
At this moment, Raina finally understood why so many old creeps loved naive young boys and girls: when they look up with innocent and gentle big eyes, like worshippers gazing at a deity, it evokes a sense of superiority akin to being an emperor.
Fortunately, Raina didn’t have much scruples, but she had enough to uphold her principles.
"No need for more words, you..."
Her sentence was abruptly interrupted by the sudden ringing of the doorbell.
Raina frowned, who would come at such a late hour?
She turned and walked to the entry door, opened the video intercom, and saw who was standing at the door.
Raina was taken aback; why would Corvus come at this hour?
No, she had just angered Corvus away earlier in the evening, and according to his usual behavior, he would take at least ten days to reappear.
Why did he come so quickly?
Raina really didn’t want to be alone with Corvus; his personality was too unpredictable.
So, she decided to pretend she wasn’t home.
Just as she was about to hang up the video intercom, Corvus suddenly looked over.
His eyes met hers through the intercom screen.
"I know you’re home. Leo, open the door."
You think I’ll open just because you said to?
Raina decided to continue pretending to be dead, and wouldn’t open the door; after all, Corvus has no proof she’s home.
