Winning Her Heart Back

Sadie was pleased. She held up a finger and said quietly, “We’re going to take it one step for the divorce, and finally, we get rid of her while she’s weak from the miscarriage.”

Il Ashley were to die while still married to Elias, her inheritance would go to him as her husband, which would be bad news.

Having reached an agreement, the two women leaned back in their bamboo chairs and fantasized about a future in which one would control the Undvike family and the other would secure the inheritance.

Since the masseuse was deaf and mate, they spoke without fear of being overheard. When the massage was over, the two women went to the res for a meal.

The masseuse quietly tidied up the room and restored it to its original state.

Then, she headed straight to the observation deck.

This resort hotel was nestled in the mountains, surrounded by lush trees and babbling streams. The observation deck, situated on higher ground, offered a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. Every guest would make it a point to visit and capture the breathtaking scenery.

However, there were only two people on the viewing platform at the moment

The masseuse approached with her head down. A slender man was seen sitting in a wicker chair with a small tea table beside him. He held a purple clay teapot and was enjoying a moment of leisure, sipping tea and reading a book.

The masseuse paused behind the man before calling him out. “Boss.”

Beathan lifted his tiny teacup, and the tea excluded a faint aroma. As he took a measured sip, the masseuse reported the conversation she overheard in the massage room. A dark glint flickered behind his plasses,

Getting Ashley to miscarry and divorce Elias was acceptable.

However, talking her life was not.

Since these fools had delivered themselves to him, he would use them to accomplish the first two tasles,

Beathan set his teacup down with a light clink. The masseuse withdrew, and his assistant stepped forward. “Keep a close watch on the Undvike and Thornton families over the next few months.”

“Understood.”

Charles, shuffling in his slippers, approached just in time to hear his last statement

He settled into another wicker chair. “What are you keeping an eye on the Undvike and Thornton families for? Are you still hung up on Ms. Thomton? She’s married and pregnant now, yet you still can’t let go of your ex?

“I didn’t peg you for the sentimental type. If you knew that this would happen, why did you break up in the first Charles had turned Beathan’s seven–year relationship and near engagement into a tale of unrequited love. Cold as ice, Beathan retorted, “I am no match for you. Your beloved is dead, yet you still pine for her. What was that new woman’s name again? What do you call her?”

Charles pretended not to hear the jab and smoothly changed the subject. “You’ve done remarkably well with this hotel, catering to the rich and powerful who need privacy for their dealings. Employing deaf and mute staff from the reception to the servers ensures no secrets are ever leaked. It’s no surprise your business has been booming these past few years.”

The more influential the individuals, the more they valued their privacy and had secrets to hide. Then again, it was more than just anyone who could open a hotel and claim it was secure enough for these elites to trust. Beathan’s ability to accomplish this spoke to his skill

Charles propped his legs up on a stool in front of him and sipped his tea before asking, “Have you reviewed the contract with Aurora Group? Are there any problems with ich

Beathan replied calmly, “The terms of the contract are sound, I’ve also looked into Aurora Group’s activities over the last decade and the key people within the company and found no problems.

Charles chuckled ‘You’re thorough for checking all

Beathan’s tone turned serious as he said, essary to be cautious. The project is massive, and constructing the energy storage warehouse alone will take three years. The amount of capital and resources involved is significant. If there are any mistakes, not only will the Xanther Group suffer, but the four of us won’t come out unscathed either.”

“Seven or eight expert teams have reviewed it and found no issues. If you say that it’s fine too, then it must be. Let’s proceed”

Charles raised his head and noticed the moon perking out from behind the clouds. He raised his cup to it and said, “To our continued success!”

Beatham sipped his tea, but his mind was on Ashley.

Ashley suddenly sneezed. A moment later, a jacket was draped over her shoulders. She looked up.

Elias was standing behind her, leaning forward and watching her intently. She got confused and asked, “What are you looking at?”

Was there something on her face? Ashley touched her cheek instinctively. Then, she heard Elias whispering, with his eyes looking down from above, Honey, your chest seems to have gotten a little bigger

Ashley was speechless.

The weather was getting hotter, and they hadn’t turned on the air conditioning at home. After her shower, Ashley was wearing nothing but a silk camisole as she sat on the tatami reading case files. Elias stood at a vantage point with a clear view of her body.

Ashley covered her chest and angrily grabbed the nearest file before throwing it in his face. “Get out!”

Elias caught the file with a mischievous smile. Of course, he wasn’t going to leave. He sat down behind her and pulled his knees up to serve as her backrest

As he casually flipped through the file, he asked in a laid–back tone, “Is this the case you’ve been working on? Involuntary manslaughter? Did the suspect’s father cause a scene in your office?”
