Elias Hawthorne gave Raina North a meaningful glance and said, "Don’t know her? Then someday I’ll have to catch her and make her cough up the money she ran off with. That was the engagement gift I prepared for my wife." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel-fire.ɴet
Raina was quite surprised, "You’re using three billion as an engagement gift?"
Even considering her current net worth, she couldn’t come up with three billion as a gift. After all, that was all her assets, and she didn’t have that much in liquid funds.
Elias said lightly, "Raina, didn’t you claim not to know Wraith? How come you know she made off with my three billion?"
Oops, she’s about to let it slip.
Raina immediately said, "I heard about it, I heard it from Baby." She quickly changed the subject, "We’ve arrived, let’s hurry and get out of the car."
Saying that, she naturally pushed open the car door and got out.
Elias watched Raina’s retreating figure as if she was fleeing, a trace of a smile appearing in his eyes.
Raina stood in front of Elias’s residence at The Dark Tower Headquarters, where her vision was filled with two enormous gates.
On either side of the gates stood majestic stone lions several meters tall, exuding grandeur.
Raina couldn’t help but click her tongue, thinking the development of The Celestial Alliance was decent, but compared to Elias’s mansion, it instantly became a slum.
Indeed, there’s no harm in comparison.
Looking at the man standing beside her, Raina couldn’t help but say, "I suddenly feel everyone was wrong, they shouldn’t call you The Hell King Hawthorne, but The Hawthorne God of Wealth."
If she guessed correctly, Elias hasn’t been in The Umbral Zone for many years, yet he managed to amass such a large empire.
"Then you are the Goddess of Wealth."
Raina glared at Elias, ever since their identities were revealed to each other, this man never missed a chance to tease her!
At this moment, a soft voice called out gently.
Raina had just learned that Elias’s alias in The Umbral Zone was Nameless.
This man was remarkably lazy, choosing a name even more perfunctory than Orion Rivers.
While internally mocking him, Raina turned her head and saw a young girl walking out from the mansion.
The girl’s chestnut hair cascaded over her shoulders, her small face surrounded by strands of hair was only palm-sized, and her already exquisite features enhanced by makeup made her appear even more sweet and charming.
This person was none other than Claire Lowell.
Upon seeing Raina at Elias’s side, Claire’s brows furrowed involuntarily, her expression displeased, yet she maintained her noble and aloof demeanor, "Alliance Leader Rivers."
Raina nodded slightly, her expression not particularly warm.
No matter what, she and Elias were husband and wife, and for a woman coveting her husband, Raina found it hard to be congenial.
Claire was somewhat displeased.
In this Umbral Zone, no one dared to treat her like Raina did.
Even though she was dissatisfied, she wasn’t willing to show it in front of Elias, so she merely smiled and said, "Nameless, why didn’t you tell me you invited Alliance Leader Rivers over today? I wasn’t prepared."
"Not a guest," Elias said flatly, "it’s coming home. Leo is the person I have chosen, and this will be her home in the future."
"Chosen person? Her home?"
Upon hearing Elias’s words, Claire nearly lost her mind, her eyes full of disbelief as her voice rose.
Nameless had always been indifferent to people. Over the years, she had relied on her fiancée status and being the Dark Tower’s young lady to come and go around him.
She had thought she was the special one, destined to become the mistress of this mansion eventually. But this seven-family joint meeting shattered her delusions.
