Aside from changing clothes, the lounge contained only an extremely luxurious set of guest sofas.

At that moment, Bella stood to greet him, which was considered polite. Luis walked straight over, sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and said nonchalantly,

"There must be something unusual behind this."

"This reception is hosted by the Taiga and Leon families, so there are only two possibilities. First, that grandson David wants to set a trap for me."

"The second, and more likely, possibility is that it's related to you, this persistent ghost."

Hearing the smoke, Bella instinctively frowned, clearly disliking the smell.

But this profoundly shrewd boss's wife still sat down, personally poured tea for Luis, and said softly, "There's no other way. You are too difficult to invite. I could only resort to this indirect approach."

Luis snorted and said, "You flatter me. The boss's wife's methods of using others to do the dirty work are so masterful. A simple commoner like me can only keep a respectful distance."

Seeing that Luis was still unhappy about the previous incident, Bella smiled helplessly. "Luis, last time I didn't do it on purpose. You've seen David's personality. He would have caused trouble for you whether I was involved or not."

"But that doesn't justify you adding fuel to the fire like that."

His attitude was indifferent and dismissive. Luis didn't dislike her that much; he just lacked confidence in this task and indeed held a grudge over that matter. So what if he was petty?

Bella pondered silently. Then a radiant figure approached. Nina, with her blonde hair and blue eyes, also dressed in formal attire, walked over.

Her tall, slender figure was in no way inferior to any supermodel's. Her skin was flawlessly fair, like milk. Her ethereal, princess-like beauty seemed not to belong to this mortal world.

If an angel's beauty could intoxicate, then it should be a stunning creature like her.

Nina gracefully sat down beside Bella, her movements slow and elegant. Her long gown was sexy yet not revealing. Together, one Eastern, one Western, they formed a breathtaking sight.

Nina greeted him in slightly awkward but sweet Chinese. "Hello, we meet again."

Luis nodded at her in acknowledgment.

One look, and any lustful thoughts vanished. They were clearly a standard couple. Probably, this beautiful girl was a stone-cold lesbian, just like Bella.

Bella said softly, "Luis, I know what I did before was truly wrong. But I still hope you will give me a chance to make amends."

"What, does the boss's wife make it sound like I'm kicking someone when they're down?"

Luis rolled his eyes, took a drag of his cigarette, and snorted coldly. "If I can't handle the trouble, I can at least avoid it. Please don't drag me into the power struggles between you important people."

Bella's face showed helplessness. She glanced at the time and said softly, "I must go attend to the guests. Nina is your dance partner for tonight. She will stay with you the entire evening."

After speaking, she gave a meaningful look and then left the lounge.

Luis stretched lazily. "I just can't adapt to these rich people's games. I feel uncomfortable all over. I don't know how to dance or anything like that. I think I'll leave now."

As soon as he stood up, Nina came over and linked her arm with his. Her soft breast pressed against his arm through the thin fabric.

That soft, springy sensation made it clear that beneath the long gown, she wore no bra, only pasties. The gown wasn't revealing, but up close, the snowy curve of her cleavage was visible.

Nina smiled radiantly. "Please don't refuse me. My task is to be with you all night. I'm begging you."

The soft, coquettish pleading from this elven princess was indeed something any man would find hard to resist. Besides, she had never wronged him. Luis found it difficult to vent his anger on her.

He could only say helplessly, "Miss Nina, what exactly do you want from me?"

"Could we have a drink? I'll explain everything to you slowly."

The reception hadn't officially begun yet. Nina gently pressed Luis back onto the sofa, then retrieved a bottle of chilled whiskey from the ice bucket nearby. With elegant motions, she began to mix a drink.

They clinked glasses and each took a large sip. Only then did Nina, her eyes hazy, say, "She is currently overwhelmed and in dire need of your help."

"What could I possibly do to help her? Please don't overestimate me."

Luis remained vigilant.

"The asset liquidation of Tiger Real Estate will, in due course, divest those sectors related to property and real estate."

Nina elegantly crossed her legs, then suddenly rested her head on Luis's shoulder. A wave of fragrance washed over him, and Luis shuddered. Instinctively, he did not refuse this seductive gesture.

"Because of you, Waller clearly holds a grudge against us. Bella was already at a disadvantage in front of Dominic. Coupled with Leon and other members of the Leon family vying for power..."

"With internal strife and external threats, if this isn't resolved properly, not only will she lose her shares in Tiger Real Estate, but she will also be pushed out of the Leon family altogether. She won't even have the chance for a desperate, last-ditch effort."

"Stop..."

Luis swirled his glass, lit another cigarette, and said bluntly, "This... seems to have nothing to do with me. I'm powerless to help!"

Nina turned her head. Her delicate, jade-like hand began to caress Luis's chest, her expression growing increasingly tender and seductive. "No, you underestimate yourself."

"This liquidation isn't about completely dismantling Tiger Real Estate. It's about asset restructuring, aiming to launch another attempt at going public."

"After all, this was President Ye's brainchild. Neither the Taiga family nor the Leon family can afford to incur his wrath. They've also realized that Waller came with malicious intent."

Nina directly sat on Luis's lap. Her slender, delicate arms wrapped around his neck. As she spoke, she blew warm breath into his ear.

"Hail will come tonight. If you are willing to forgive Bella, then he won't target us. That way, we can have our chance for that desperate gamble."

"Otherwise, if Leon and his faction join forces with the Taiga family, we will be devoured, leaving not even bones behind."

This brazen, open seduction was truly to his liking. Luis sprawled back casually on the sofa, watching that exquisite face draw nearer. He couldn't help but tease,

"Landlord, I came here to discuss the rent. If you're going to talk about these troublesome matters that are beyond my capabilities, I think you'd be wasting your energy on me."

Nina threw herself into Luis's embrace. Her soft, delicate body writhed against him through the thin fabric, further tempting and teasing him with her astonishing allure.

A mist seemed to gather in her eyes. She exhaled, her breath fragrant like orchids.

"For you, it's a very simple matter. All you need to do is forgive Bella and say a word to Hail. If he sees us sitting together, being very intimate, that will be enough."

Hail represents Waller, but Waller does not represent Ye.

Luis quickly calculated in his mind and felt he had still underestimated that cheap father of his.

Seeing Luis's slight surprise, Nina immediately said, "As for the property of Hans's bar, if you agree, it will be yours."

This made Luis somewhat tempted. Although it was on the second floor, that commercial space was at least 300 square meters. At current market prices, a conservative estimate would be 4 million dollars.

Seeing Luis stunned and unresponsive, Nina grew anxious. She cupped his face and kissed him directly, whispering breathlessly,

"We know if you want money, you have plenty of ways and people to get it. But we don't have anything impressive to offer. Please, I beg you, help Bella."

"Can you bear to see a woman like her being bullied so badly...?"

Luis felt his blood begin to race. He pushed her away sharply, took a step back, and looked at the stunning beauty before him with a strange expression. He asked, "Wait... aren't you two lesbians?"

"She is my beloved!"

Nina was momentarily stunned by the question, then replied with a thousandfold charm, "What does that matter? Surely you don't find it off-putting? Or do you think I lack appeal?"
