Bella looked at the man before her, her gaze calm yet carrying a trace of solemnity. She lightly parted her crimson lips and said, "Aren't you going to invite your guest inside to sit down."

"No thanks. I'm a scoundrel. It's better to avoid situations where a single man and a single woman are alone together."

Luis decisively refused.

Who would want to get tangled up in these feuds between powerful families. He was already regretting activating that "dad hack" until now.

All four blind boxes were gone. The result felt like he had narrowly escaped disaster, but afterwards, that guy Ye hadn't contacted him, and that Waller fellow hadn't either. It all felt like a complete waste.

"If you have something to say, you can say it right here," Luis said, his anger growing as he spoke.

"Don't push people away like this, keeping them a thousand miles distant."

Bella, who had always been as cold as ice, suddenly smiled with a bewitching charm and said, "It was my mistake before. I can apologize completely. You can tell me directly whatever you want."

Luis looked at her coldly and said, "I certainly don't look like a fool, do I. An apology at this point is already moldy. You might as well just tell me directly what you want."

The door remained wide open as they faced off. She stayed standing in the corridor, not stepping forward.

Hesitating for a moment, Bella asked, "Are you angry because I interfered with something you were doing. If that's the case, I can apologize. If you want a woman, I can arrange someone better for you."

"Can you please stop talking nonsense."

Luis's attitude remained cold and detached. He said dismissively, "There's no need for apologies. I'm warning you, if you come here again, I'm not someone with such a good temper."

Although he wasn't entirely clear on the details of these powerful family conflicts, Luis understood very well that as an ordinary commoner, it was best not to get involved.

Through observation, Luis had also realized that at the very top of the food chain was his so-called cheap father, Sebastian Ye. Not just him, but even that Waller, whose face he could barely remember, were existences capable of deciding everything.

"If you have any dissatisfaction in your heart, you can tell me. I will use all my abilities to satisfy you."

Seeing how utterly unreceptive Luis was, Bella instantly began to panic a little. She clearly knew from her investigations that his identity was that of an utterly unremarkable live in son in law.

Yet, the power behind him was so terrifying that she couldn't possibly measure him using the mindset of a fool.

Luis smiled as he looked at the sexy beauty before him. Frankly, just looking at her figure and appearance would stir lust in any man.

But considering her fiery temper, her nearly fanatical behavior, and the fact that she was a completely pure lesbian, just this last point alone made Luis lose any sexual fantasy about her.

"Boss's wife, I want to fuck you, is that okay."

Luis knew this was a condition that would absolutely make her back down.

A genuine homosexual is someone who rejects men both physically and psychologically, finding them disgusting, nauseating, even to the point of loathing and wanting to kill them.

Asking her to sleep with a man would be worse than asking her to die. Precisely for this reason, Luis had already given up on this side quest from the bottom of his heart.

Just as Bella was struggling internally, even feeling angry, the door slammed shut with a bang.

"Get lost. If you harass me again, you won't like the consequences."

Back in the CEO's office on the top floor, the moment Nina opened the door, she let out a huge sigh of relief. She brought a glass of water and said thoughtfully, "Master, having less profit is still profit. Why must you go looking for unhappiness like this."

"Less... that's at least a ten million dollars."

Bella lay on the sofa, her eyes closed, her face etched with pain and unwillingness. She said, "The asset liquidation for Tiger Real Estate will take at least three to five months, maybe even half a year."

"Any fool can see that Sebastian Ye is deeply dissatisfied. He pulled in resources and single handedly pushed for this project, yet it failed to launch on the market. This visit was clearly a warning to me and Dominic. Furthermore, a subsequent market launch is definitely going to be pursued."

Nina sat down, letting Bella rest her head on her snow white thighs. She massaged her while saying, "Master, or rather, my love, plans always have their deviations."

"You and Dominic secretly joined forces and have already cleared out those deadbeats from the Leon family and the Taiga family who just lazed around waiting to die. But who could have predicted that Sebastian Ye would come back for revenge."

"He's unwilling to accept it. Although it doesn't quite count as a stain, for him it's a failure. How could someone at the peak of his power have such a failure."

Bella said with a headache, "The person assigned to handle this is Waller, an absolute trusted confidant. With that alone, who would dare play any petty tricks."

Nina sighed softly. "So, these past few days, I've been as unsettled as you."

The asset liquidation of a group company is an extremely complex process. Estimating the value of real estate and business operations alone is a tedious task. If it were just the Taiga and Leon families, it would be a matter of wrangling, seeing whose connections are stronger.

But the current situation is that Waller is leading this. It started off relatively calm, but in the last two days, Bella has sensed something is wrong. The scales have begun tipping towards the Taiga family.

Needless to say, Dominic must have mentioned the incident where the boss's wife crashed her car, resulting in Luis being hospitalized.

Bella was no fool; she naturally understood the severity. Compared to letting Tiger Real Estate continue its listing process, from Waller's perspective, hearing about this incident would provoke immense anger.

The Leon family, with its background in ocean hotel operations, was already in a weaker position. The Taiga family, rooted in real estate and construction, was much stronger. She, bearing the Leon name, inherently lacked these advantages.

Now, with Dominic pulling this stunt again, Waller couldn't possibly remain completely impartial. The trend has become clearly visible over the past few days.

"He said he wanted to fuck me..."

Bella's voice was weak, almost self mocking.

"It was just words spoken in anger. You should be able to tell that," Nina said with extreme tenderness. "He just doesn't want to be dragged into these matters. Perhaps my thinking is incorrect, but I believe that having relied on his own efforts for so many years, he must find it irritating to be entangled in this affair now."

"Everything you've said, I've already thought of."

Bella's breathing was accompanied by a bitter smile. "When I went to see him tonight, I was afraid he would shout curses at me. He doesn't even want to cling to a powerful family like the Sebastian Family. I don't know what conditions I could offer that would satisfy him."

"That condition he stated, I find it laughable just hearing it."

"Although I detest men, given his status and backing, he could truly find any woman he wants."

"He was willing to become a live in son in law for such an unattractive woman and has been living a strictly conventional life all along. I'm starting to feel a bit of belated fear. Perhaps I shouldn't have gone to seek him out. That condition he proposed... was clearly meant to make me back down knowingly."

Bella held her aching head and said, "If Waller finds out about this matter, the situation will become even worse."

Over there, she was at her wit's end, while here, Luis was also feeling intensely frustrated.

He had originally planned to bathe and purify himself at this time, then open a blind box with full sincerity to test his luck. But now, it seemed today was somewhat tainted by bad vibes, so it was better to hold off for now.

Just as he was hesitating, Leah suddenly called, her voice sounding urgent and saying, "Brother in law, come save me quickly."
