There was a commotion on the screen as the camera focused on Xander, who was on the ground, and the woman who was currently on top of him. Said woman wore a sexy outfit, and the pair had caught a lot of attention in their compromising position.
However, by the time Xander had the chance to ask, the woman had suddenly disappeared.
"Don’t leave. Keep an eye on Xander! I need to catch a damn sneaky mouse!" Tyrone heard Raine’s instruction to him and her squad members from the bluetooth in his ear. "It’s Megan. Make sure she will not escape."
Raine gritted her teeth as she followed Megan outside. The assassin walked in long strides, and Raine followed suit as they avoided making more of a commotion inside the party. Raine spotted Megan quickly going for the exit door, so she quickly followed.
"Why are you following me, Princess?" Megan grunted. "You even jeopardized the mission to kill Xander!"
Raine stepped closer as her eyes turned red. Megan froze. She knew what happened once Raine’s eyes changed color like that. One wrong move from her, and she’d probably die in that instant.
"I simply followed instructions from Prince Yun!" Megan almost pleaded.
Raine smirked and sneered, "Didn’t I make myself clear? Xander Yang is mine. I get to decide when, where, and how I should kill him," Raine staked her claim with a harsh declaration. "I already had my eyes and mark on him. This will be your last warning, Megan. Don’t say I didn’t warn you the next time you meet your doom."
"B-but Prince Yun..."
"What about Uncle? Tell him I interfered because I hate it when someone messes with my business," Raine challenged with a hiss. "He can talk to me directly if he has a problem with that. Xander Yang will die by my hands, and whoever dares to interfere will die by them as well."
Raine could see the fear in Megan’s eyes, but she understood how the assassin was torn on whose orders she should follow at this point.
"Get out of this place now," Raine hissed.
With her words, Megan scurried off into the dark. After ensuring that the assassin had truly left, Raine composed herself in the powder room and returned inside the function hall.
"Boss?" Dylan asked her from another line.
"Let Megan leave," Raine helplessly murmured. Megan was still one of them, and she would deal with her and the rest who happened to be used by her uncle later.

By the time that more women had already flocked around Xander, his assistant and his security finally assisted him.
"What took you so long?" Xander scolded as soon as he escaped the group of women.
Shaking his head, Xander returned to his duties. The program was about to start, and he still had to give the opening remarks.
Meanwhile, Raine was already back in her position with Tyrone beside her.
"Everything alright?" he asked.
Tyrone wrapped her in her coat as she chuckled, "Prepare for the striptease show later, you dummy!"
At her words, Tyrone ended up massaging the back of his neck in exasperation.
After a few more minutes of waiting, the host of the party finally called out the attention of everyone. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Before the evening starts, we will have some opening remarks from our Dr. Xander Yang, mostly known as Doctor CEO, who always gives his best for Yang Globals. Let’s give a round of applause to the man of the hour - our Dr. CEO, Xander Yang!"
Everyone clapped their hands in respect as Xander went on the center stage with his beautiful smile. He slightly bowed at everyone and gestured for them to stop clapping.
"Yang Globals Group had faced a lot of trials this year. But because of your help and support, we were able to overcome it. And now that we are once again back to..." Xander hung his words, pointing the microphone at the audience.
The audience, of course, knew exactly what to shout. "Save more lives!!!"
"Alright... I won’t make this long, but let’s hope for the best in the future. Let’s give our best to all our patients and treat them like family. Enjoy, everyone!" Xander ended with a blissful smile as he received a very warm and loud round of applause from the crowd.
Raine shook her head as her eyes darted in a particular direction.
"Hath no fury like a jealous wife, no?" she amusingly whispered.
Noting her words, Tyrone followed Raine’s gaze and he shook his head as his glance drifted back on Xander, who was about to get off the stage.
As Xander went off the stage, he noticed that the crowd’s attention seemed to be stolen by someone who was fixed to a particular spot.
"What’s going on?" Xander muttered to his assistant, seeing most of the reporters and flashes congregating on the one spot near the entrance.
His assistant was about to leave to check when Xander suddenly said, "Stop. I’ll go and check it myself."
Walked towards the center of the commotion to welcome whoever it was that appeared, Xander noted how the latecomer was somehow gaining a lot of attention despite their tardiness. Upon seeing who it was, however, his jaw dropped. His lovely wife was the latecomer who was currently the center of attention.
’My darling looks so stunning!’ he gasped, seeing how sexy his wife looked in her dark emerald one-shoulder high slit cocktail dress. The ensemble emphasized her supple porcelain bare shoulders along with her bosoms. The dress was a below-knee length, but it didn’t detract from the sight of it all. What was with that freaking slit?!
Xander almost ran to her while unconsciously removing his suit to cover Yera’s top. However, Yera removed it before he could even finish covering her up.
Xander gulped, feeling the frigid and ice cold tone of his wife. He cursed, knowing that his wife had most certainly witnessed everything that had happened up at that point. Her burning gaze was more than enough proof of it as she almost killed him on the spot with her ire alone.
"Darling, it’s not my fault..." Xander pleaded for mercy with his humble eyes on his wife, but he was promptly ignored.
Yera let off a malicious smile as she spoke, "Hmm... it seems like the CEO of the Yang Globals group enjoys the company of many gorgeous women. I wonder if he’ll also enjoy the company of his opponent..."
Xander wanted the ground to eat him alive that instant. He almost lost his breath when he felt her wife’s cold arms encircling his arm while she declared, "How about I have this gorgeous Dr. CEO the whole night? Let’s see if he will also enjoy the company of his mortal enemy?"
"He’s so doomed," Raine chuckled as she watched the scene from afar.
Tyrone chuckled and teasingly whispered, "You’re doomed too. I bet his wife wants to pull all your hair out right now..."
