Luna looked at the two black drns on the table.
She couldn’t help crying sadly.
Gilmore placed his arm around her shoulders and offered her a tissue with his other hand. He consoled her, saying, “Don’t be sad. People who have passed away cannot come back to life..
“What’s more, you have me by your side. Nothing could beat us down.”
Luna took the tissue from Gilmore and wiped the tears from her face as she nodded at Gilmore.
Then, she threw herself into Gilmore arms and sobbed softly.
Gilmore patted her on the shoulder. “Just cry. Everything will be fine…
After an unknown amount of time, Luna finally stopped crying.
Then, she lifted her head from Gilmore’s embrace.
With tears staining her beautiful face, she appeared delicate and poignant. Her eyes were red, evoking sympathy from anyone who saw her.
Gilmore wiped away the tears on her face and asked softly, “Are you feeling much better now?”
Luna nodded.
Then, she looked at Gilmore and said, “Gilmore, I want to bring my father and brother’s ashes back to Atita.”
(Note: Luna found out about Gilmore while they slept together.)
Gilmore replied, “Yes, it’s better for them to return to their hometown.”
Tears welled up in Luna’s eyes as she looked at Gilmore. “Can you accompany me back to Atita?”
Gilmore looked at her seriously. “I can go back with you, but how are you going to introduce me to your grandfather?” Luna couldn’t help but be stunned.
How should she introduce Gilmore to her grandfather?
Whether it was the identity of Black Eagle Master or Gilmore’s true identity, both were considered enemies by Kenji.
Moreover, Kenji also mentioned to Mr. Suarez Senior that Gilmore had taken away the shares of the Davis Group’s gold mine from him.
Gilmore even asked the leader of Star Gate to nullify Tatsuya’s martial arts skills and eliminate their martialists.
Therefore, Mr. Suarez Senior likely considered both Black Eagle Master and Gilmore as his enemies.
If she brought Gilmore back to the family, Mr. Suarez Senior would definitely be furious.
However, Luna needed Gilmore.

Chapter 311
She couldn’t bear to part with Gilmore.
And she would have to bring Gilmore home to meet her grandfather sooner or later.
After thinking for a while, Luna said to Gilmore, “Gilmore, why don’t you go to Atita with me first?
“After we arrive, you don’t have to meet my grandfather immediately. You can stay in a hotel in Kouis for the time being.
“As for me, I will gradually explain to my grandfather that you are not an enemy of our family.
“When he understands that this is a misunderstanding and is willing to see you, I will take you to see him, okay?”
Although Gilmore felt that it was almost impossible for Mr. Suarez Senior to overcome his prejudice against him.
However, Luna just lost her father and brother. Moreover, after the two of them had sex last night, Gilmore knew that she had lost her mother when she was very little.
Thus, at this moment, Luna truly needed his protection.
So, Gilmore nodded at him. “Okay, I’ll do as you say.”
When Lund heard that Gilmore was willing to accompany her back to Kouis, the tears in her eyes suddenly disappeared, and her eyes filled with joy.
“I’m afraid this trip to Atita will take some time. I’ll make arrangements for the three Presbyters to handle the sect’s affairs,” Gilmore said to Luna.
Luna nodded. “Sure, go ahead.
Gilmore reached out and touched Luna’s head, “Then don’t cry here alone.”
Luna gently pushed Gilmore and said softly, “Don’t worry! I won’t cry anymore. Just go ahead.
Gilmore then turned around and went downstairs.
After leaving the attic, Gilmore went to find Tiger, Phoenix, and Steve.
He told them he was heading to Atita with Luna and left them in charge of handling gate affairs during his absence.
Of course, Gilmore was not worried about anything happening to Star Gate, since it had allied itself with 11 sects from Oakhaven and central region.
Once something happened, Star Gate could immediately seek help from other allied sects.
Of course, everything would be fine.
The three Presbyters were a little surprised when they learned that their Sect Leader was going to send Luna back to Atita
They didn’t expect that their leader would fall in love with her.
Moreover, Luna was from foreign country.
Of course, they had to admit that Luna was stunning in terms of both beauty and temperament.
Many men would consider themselves fortunate if they could have such a beautiful woman in their lives.

Tiger and the other two–couldn’t help but envy their leader’s good fortune with women.
In the end, they said to Gilmore together. “We wish you and Madam have a good time in Atita.”
Gilmore was speechless.
He didn’t expect these three old guys to say such words.
Although Gilmore knew that they were just flattering him, he liked it.
This trip had to be romantic and sweet.
Gilmore pretended to be deep in thought. He cleared his throat and said, “Tll accept your well wishes.
I’m entrusting everything to you. If I return and find that things haven’t been handled properly, there will be consequences” Tiger and the other two immediately replied, “No worries, master.
“By the way, please book flight tickets for tomorrow to Atita, Gilmore instructed.
“Yes, master!
Gilmore then left the Presbyter’s Hall.
On the way back to Luna’s residence, his phone beeped with a text message notification.
Someone sent him a WhatsApp message.
Gilmore took out his phone and found that it was from Lilian.
The message read, (Gilmore, I miss you. I’m here to participate in the Film Exhibition in Atita. I’ve been missing you since I left Eldoria.]
Although Gilmore had not seen Lilian for some time, since he once loved her.
He had been in contact with Lilian.
Of course, he kept in touch with most of his ex–girlfriends, Claire, Helene, Juline, Christine, and Elaine.
After reading Lilian’s WhatsApp message, Gilmore learned that she had arrived in Atita to participate in Kouis Film Festival..
He knew that Lilian was already an A–list celebrity in the film and television industry and had acted in many popular movies and TV series.
Therefore, Gilmore was not surprised that she would participate in the Kouis Film Festival.
At this moment, Gilmore suddenly narrowed his eyes. He seemed to have seen something with his God’s Eye.
Gilmore suddenly became serious, and his eyes flashed with a cold light. “It turns out that Lilian is in danger in Kouis!” he thought.
Then, he picked up his phone and replied to Lilian, (Since you miss me, Lilian, I’ll go to Kouis to accompany you!]

Almost instantly, Lilian–replied. There were no words, only a shy expression and nine roses.
Gilmore could feel how happy Lilian was on the other end of the phone from her reply.
Chapter 312
In the evening, at Kouis International Airport, a plane from Eldoria landed.
Gilmore and Luna were also on the plane.
They sat in the business seats.
“Gilmore, according to what we discussed last night, you stay at Hotel Royale first. I’ll go back to my villa,” Luna said to Gilmore.
Hotel Royale was one of the most luxurious and high–class hotels in Kouis.
It was also Gilmore who asked to book a room there.
Through his God’s Eye, he had learned that Lilian would have an accident in this hotel tomorrow night..
After checking into the Hotel Royale, he would be able to protect Lilian at any time.
Gilmore nodded. “Okay, call me if you need anything after we part ways.”
After getting off the plane, they walked out of the exit one after another.
The reason they did not walk together was that Mr. Suarez Senior knew that Luna would return to Atita.
He had already sent someone to pick Luna up at the airport.
Luna walked out of the passage with two urns in her arms, while Gilmore dragged a suitcase.
“Miss Luna! Welcome back!” At the exit, an old man in a suit, who looked very gentle and polite, waved at her.
A look of joy appeared on Luna’s face. “Mr. Simpson!”
Mr. Simpson’s complete name was Dylan Simpson, and he worked as the butler at the Suarez family’s big house in Kouis.
Mr. Suarez Senior sent him to pick up Luna.
Dylan asked the two bodyguards behind him to take the two urns from Luna.
Looking at the two urns, Dylan unconsciously looked sad and said, “I didn’t expect that they would suffer such a disaster.”
Luna unconsciously lowered her head and fell silent.
The butler’s words undoubtedly made her sad again.
Dylan seemed to know that he should not make Luna sad again. He quickly changed the topic and said, “Miss Suarez, our car is outside. Let’s go!”
Luna nodded.
Then, she followed Dylan and the bodyguards out.
Before leaving, Luna did not forget to look back at Gilmore, who was a few feet behind her.
12:21 Mon, Sep 9 B
Chapter 312
Gilmore smiled and waved at her.
Luna also secretly waved at Gilmore when Dylan and bodyguards when Dylan and bodyguards weren’t looking.
Then, she turned her head and walked out of the terminal with them.
After Luna left, Gilmore took out a pair of sunglasses from his suit pocket and put them on.
He instantly transformed into a stylish and attractive man and pulled his suitcase along.
Upon exiting the terminal. Gilmore hailed a taxi and headed directly to Hotel Royale.
As Gilmore made his way to the Hotel, he noticed towering skyscrapers lining both sides of the street. The bustling scene was filled with numerous cars and pedestrians, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
Kouis, being the capital of Atita, boasted a population exceeding 20 million residents. It stood as the nation’s primary hub for politics, economics, and culture, and held its status as an international metropolis.
They drove straight to the Hotel Royale, which was located in the heart of the city.
The hotel was a lavish establishment, boasting nearly 100 floors of opulence.
It was one of the most luxurious five–star hotels in Kouis.
Gilmore exited the taxi and walked into the Royal Hotel with his suitcase in tow.
On the hotel’s highest floor, one could find the most extravagant presidential suite.
After the waiter had set down Gilmore’s suitcase, he courteously addressed him, “Mr. Reed, we’ll serve your dinner at 7 p.m..
“If you need anything, just let us know at any time.”
Gilmore nodded. “Can I have a cup of coffee now?”
“Sure, Mr. Reed. I’ll get someone to bring you coffee,” the waiter said.
“Thank you then. You can leave now! Gilmore replied.
“Yes, Mr. Reed. With that, the waiter left the room and closed the door.
Gilmore then sat down on the leather sofa
Feeling somewhat bored, he grabbed the TV remote from the table and switched it on.
The program swiftly began airing on the massive 100–inch TV screen affixed to the wall, featuring entertainment news.
On the TV, there was this trendy and lovely host who had this sweet smile, and she said, “Good evening friends. Kouis Entertainment’s got some really crucial news for you today.
“Everyone knew that the world–renowned Kouis Film Festival was about to start tomorrow.
This time, the celebrities attending the conference aren’t just from our own country. We also have popular stars from other
nations,
“Among them, Lilian, a beloved young actress from Eldoria, played a leading role in the movie “The Captain, catapulting her

to become the most renowned actress in Eldoria…”
The host appeared to have a strong liking for Lilian and gave her a special introduction.
In the end, she circled back to the subject of the Kouis Film Festival. “I’d like to remind you all that the Kouis Film Festival is proudly sponsored by the Fillalgo Group. And on that evening, there will be a lavish banquet at the Fidalgo Group–owned Hotel Royale.
When Gilmore saw this, a smile appeared on his face. It seemed that his God’s Eye could predict this.
There would be a grand banquet here tomorrow night.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Gilmore stood up and opened the door, only to find the waiter carrying a tray with a cup of coffee.
“Here’s your coffee, Mr. Reed,” the waiter said very politely.
“Thank you.” Gilmore replied.
The waiter entered the room with the coffee, placed it on the table, and bid farewell to Gilmore before departing.
After closing the door, Gilmore settled onto the sofa and leisurely savored his coffee.
Nightfall descended upon the Suarezs‘ villa.
An old man with grey hair and a solemn expression looked at the two urns on the table.
Unfathomable sadness filled his eyes. He couldn’t stop himself from tightly squeezing his fists, as if he were exerting all his strength.
“How dare Hiroshi kill my son and grandson. I wish I could tear him to pieces!”
Luna turned toward him, his face filled with anger. ‘Grandpa, he was murdered by Black Eagle Master, the leader of Star
Gate”
The silver–haired elderly man was Mr. Suarez Sr., Luna’s grandfather, named Mateo.
Matco’s eyes flashed with hatred as he said, “Although Black Eagle Master killed that traitor.
“He’s the one responsible for disabling your brother’s martial skills, which is why your father sought my assistance.
“If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have sent Hiroshi and you to Eldoria. In that case, your father and brother wouldn’t be killed by him.”
Luna couldn’t help but be startled “Grandpa, you mean…”
Mateo spoke with bitterness, “Black Eagle Master is no different from Hiroshi. He’s the one who killed your father and brother. I’m determined to bring him to justice.
Hearing this, Luna’s face turned pale.
Originally, she wanted to put in a good word for Gilmore so that her grandfather would not be hostile to Gilmore.
However, it appeared that she would require some time to gradually mend the deep–seated hatred and misunderstandings

In the Hotel Royale.
After dinner, Gilmore was sitting on the sofa drinking red wine.
Then, message arrived.
WhatsAp
It was from Lilian, Gilmore, are you in Kouis?]
Gilmore replied, I’m already here. Do you want to see me?]
Message notification.
Lilian replied. [Not today. I’m too busy. Tomorrow is the opening day of the festival. I got too many things to do.]
[I’ll look for you after the cocktail party tomorrow.]
Gilmore replied, [Okay, see you tomorrow night.]
Lilian responded with a smile and sent a caring message, [You must be tired from the flight today, huh? Take a warm shower and get to bed early.]
No wonder Gilmore was his first love. She was so gentle, and thoughtful.
Gilmore smiled and replied, [You too. Take care and go to bed early, I love you!]
Message notification.
Lilian immediately replied with a cute emoji, I love you too!]
Gilmore could tell from the message that Lilian must be smiling happily at that moment.
Just as he was about to put down his phone, he received another WhatsApp message.
It was not from Lilian but from Luna
After reading the message, Gilmore wasn’t surprised in the least.
Luna’s message naturally conveyed to him that her grandfather had misconceptions about him and held a profound grudge. Gilmore had already expected this.
She also mentioned that she wouldn’t give up and was determined to gradually mend her grandfather’s misunderstanding and hatred towards Gilmore.
Although Gilmore understood that resolving Mateo’s misunderstanding and hatred towards him wouldn’t be easy.
To prevent Luna from becoming overly worried and stressed, he still responded to her messages.
He comforted her, telling her not to stress too much, and mentioned that he was okay,with waiting for her grandfather to work through the hatred and misunderstanding.
They then shifted the conversation to other topics and chatted for over an hour.

In the end, Luna reluctantly concluded their conversation, bidding Gilmore good night.
After that, Gilmore was bored, so he took a hot shower and went to bed early.
The next morning, after breakfast, Gilmore left the hotel and went to a luxury car rental company nearby to rent an catching Lamborghini.
It would not be a problem for him to actually buy a brand–new Lamborghini.
However, if he purchased it, he might not be able to use the car right away.
Certainly, for those willing to spend more money than others, it wasn’t impossible to use the car right away.
However, Gilmore didn’t want to come across as a show–off like that. He aimed to be a low–key and subtly wealthy guy Furthermore, there was no one he wanted to impress at the moment. He didn’t see the need to show off.
Therefore, Gilmore rented a Lamborghini.
Then, he drove to a high–end villa development that was up for sale.
It was a mountain villa situated in the eastern part of Kouis.
The villas were constructed atop the hills of Kouis, offering close proximity to the bustling city while enjoying scenic sea
views.
Furthermore, the hillside villa was peaceful and far removed from the hustle and bustle, providing a more secluded and private living environment.
As a result, the prices of these villas were astonishingly steep.
Each villa carried a price tag of no less than 20 million dollars, with some even reaching into the billions of dollars.
Hence, despite having been on the market for a while, only half of them were sold.
Of course, the development company had no intention of selling these premium villas at a discount. Their target market consisted of a select few super–wealthy individuals.
Gilmore was undoubtedly their target.
He drove to the sales department. In less than half an hour, he bought a hillside villa worth 100 million dollars
The hillside villa he bought was Villa No. 18.
Accompanied by the staff, Gilmore drove his Lamborghini into Villa No. 18.
The staff handed the keys and property deed to Gilmore.
“This villa will the staff said respectfully.
be your future residence, Mr. Reed. If you have any questions, just let us know. We will serve you sincerely.
Gilmore nodded. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, Mr. Reed. This is what we should do, the guy said politely.
12:21 Mon, Sep 9ti G.
Chapter 313
“Then I won’t disturb you, Mr. Reed. Take your time to look around.”
Gilmore nodded.
The staff left.
Gilmore then opened the door.

The interior decoration was exceptionally luxurious, with imported high–end furnishings, flooring, and decor adorning the
villa.
However, it was not surprising that the villa had such an extremely luxurious decoration. After all, it was a hillside villa valued at 100 million dollars.
Gilmore came to the second floor and sat on a lounge chair on the balcony.
Overlooking Kouis Bay, the view was expansive and invigorating, making it a distinctive and unique geographical location.
How did Gilmore know that this was the best and most expensive villa in Kouis? Naturally, it was via his God’s Eye.
He purchased the hillside villa here because he wanted to have a place to stay in Kouis for himself.
What’s more, it would soon be of use to him.
Of course, he would not tell anyone what it was used for.
On the balcony. Gilmore let the sea breeze wash over him, enjoying the comfortable sensation.
After sitting like this for more than an hour, he reluctantly stood up.
He came to a bedroom
Everything was prepared in the bedroom, from the bed and comforter to the pillow and even slippers.
Truly, a villa worth 100 million dollars.
There was a laptop on a table.
Gilmore then sat down at the table.
He powered on the computer and began using it.
Gilmore accessed the international stock market index.
He activated the God’s Eye and promptly chose the stock with the highest growth rate for the day.
Gilmore checked the funds in his account.
After spending 13 billion to purchase shares in the Davis Group’s gold mine, he still had 4 billion remaining in his account. Despite having over 4 billion dollars in cash and shares, Gilmore felt it wasn’t enough.
Therefore, he wanted to make a fortune in the stock market.
Upon activating his God’s Eye, the stock prices on his computer screen in the international stock market began to fluctuate

rapidly.
The final stock that caught his attention was the Fidalgo Group.
The share code was 4458, and it had increased by a staggering 600% in just 24 hours!
+60%
As Gilmore narrowed his eyes once more, the data he had observed with his God’s Eye swiftly vanished from his sight.
When Gilmore returned to reality, he noticed that the stock price of Fidalgo Group had only increased by 2%.
His eyes lit up. He had perceived, using his God’s Eye, that Lilian was in danger tonight due to the young master of Fidalgo Group
Well, it was like two bulls in one pen.
Gilmore quickly purchased all the shares of Fidalgo Group with billion dollars.

After buying the stock, Gilmore immediately thought of Gerald.
As his good friend, Gilmore would never forget to take Gerald along to seek their fortune.
Gilmore then called Gerald.
As soon as the phone rang, Gerald answered, “Hey, Gilmore, are you still in Vista Verde?”
In fact, Gerald had been in touch with Gilmore these days.
Gilmore learned from him that his parents and sister were safe and sound.
Of course, Gerald had to ask him about the stock price.
Gilmore said. “I’ve already arrived in Glenedale. I think I can do some business here.
“What? Gilmore, you’re in Atita?” Gerald was a little surprised.
Obviously, he didn’t expect that Gilmore would expand his business to Atita so quickly. Gilmore nodded. “Yes, I just arrived in Kouis today.”
“Wouldn’t it be inconvenient for you to handle everything alone there? Do you r Gerald hadn’t forgotten his role as Gilmore’s bodyguard.
Of course, he didn’t know that Gilmore didn’t need his protection at all.
Gilmore pondered for a moment. In fact, Gerald was right.
It seemed that there was no one in Kouis who could work for him.
If he did everything himself, it would take a lot of time and effort.
If Gerald was here, Gilmore could hand over many things to him.
me to go and help?” It appeared that
With that in mind, Gilmore spoke on the phone, “Well, come over here tomorrow! You should ask Claire to send more bodyguards along with you.”
Gilmore had recently been in touch with Claire and had learned that her grandfather, Denton, had returned to Oakhaven and resumed his former way of life..
Of course, it was because Gilmore assured them that the new leader of Star Gate had no intentions of seeking revenge against the Carters, so they returned to Oakhaven with peace of mind.
“Alright, no problem. I’ll book the flight ticket right away, Gerald replied promptly.
“Bye. Gerald added.
When Gilmore heard that Gerald was about to hang up, he hurriedly stopped him and said, “Wait, Gerald. Besides what I mentioned earlier, 1 also want to discuss the stock market with you.”
“The stock market? Which one are you interested in this time? Gerald asked enthusiastically.

It was no surprise that he was so excited. After all, it was Gilmore who had guided him into stock investments, turning him from someone who had lost everything into a billionaire.
Hence, whenever Gilmore mentioned stocks, it represented a potential opportunity for him to amass wealth.
“Code 4458, buy as many as you can, and sell them at this exact time the day after tomorrow,” Gilmore instructed over the phone.
“Okay, I’ll keep it in mind. I’ll do it immediately, Gerald said confidently.
Gilmore added. “Also, tell Claire to buy some too.
“Hehe, Mr. Reed, even if you didn’t tell me, I’d inform her,” Gerald chuckled.
“Well, that’s it.”
After that. Gilmore ended the call.
At that moment, Gilmore happened to glance at the stock index. He noticed that while he was chatting with Gerald, Fidalgo Group’s stock price had shot up by 50%.
However, he didn’t bother checking the index further since he already knew the final outcome through his God’s Eye.
Leaving the bedroom and settling on the living room couch, Gilmore grabbed the remote and switched on the TV.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he switched on the TV, he came across a live broadcast of the Kouis Film Festival.
At that moment, the award presenters were announcing to all the stars in the audience, “The Best Leading Actress of the 50th Kouis Film Festival goes to Lilian for her role in The Captain! Congratulations, Lilian!”
As the award presenters announced the Best Leading Actress, the entire audience erupted in applause.
At the same time, the camera focused on Lilian, dressed in a long red gown. She looked as stunning and graceful as a fairy. With a smile on her face, Lilian walked from the audience to the stage.
The hosts congratulated Lilian on her award, and she smiled and nodded in gratitude towards them.
At this moment, the two award presenters said to Lilian, “Lilian, although we are the presenters for the Best Leading Actress award, there’s someone else significant who wants to personally present you with the award.”
Lilian asked curiously. “Who is this important guest?”
Simultaneously, the camera panned to the faces of the stars in the audience. Gilmore could see that these celebrities were
also curious.
Obviously, everyone wanted to know who this important figure was.
At that moment, the female award presenter gazed at Lilian and the audience, then smiled and said, “I believe everyone is quite curious.
“After watching Lilian’s performance in “The Captain, he mentioned that he was utterly captivated by her exceptional acting
talents.
“He said that he would personally award the best actress for Lilian, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to invite

Lilian to play the leading role in his upcoming movie.”
“Wow!” Among the audience, envy–filled exclamations filled the air.
Of course, everyone was even more curious as to who this important figure was.
At this point, the female award presenter finally gestured to a well–dressed man in a suit seated in the front row of the stage and said. “Mr. Fidalgo, please come onstage to present the award to Lilian!”
When the mystery was unveiled, the audience was suddenly taken aback by surprise and then erupted into enthusiastic applause.
Erik was a well–groomed man in his thirties, tall and robust. As he ascended the stage, he exuded the demeanor of a prosperous businessman.
He came to Lilian with a gentlemanly smile on his face and reached out to Lilian, “Miss Morales, congratulations!”
Lilian shook hands with him politely and said, “Thank you, Mr. Fidalgo.”
He received the award from the female presenter and placed it in Lilian’s hands.
Then, he gazed at Lilian and spoke into the microphone, “Miss Morales, the two ladies just explained why I wanted to present this award to you.
“I wonder if you would be interested in starring as the leading actress in a movie funded by the Fidalgo Group?”
As soon as he finished speaking, some of the stars and actors offstage let out admiring gasps.
Lilian smiled and said, “First of all, I want to thank Mr. Fidalgo for thinking so highly of me.
“But I still have a few movies to shoot this year, and I don’t have much time, so… but I’ll think about it carefully. Thank you. Mr. Fidalgo.
Erik said with a smile, “It appears that it won’t be easy to persuade Miss Morales to take on the role, but I believe we’ll have an opportunity to collaborate.”
Everyone under the stage applauded.
Lilian shook hands with Erik again and then returned to her seat
Then, the host continued the process.
Seeing this, Gilmore couldn’t help but feel super proud of Lilian. He totally didn’t see it coming that she’d be such a big hit not just in Eldoria but even in Alita
She was so crazy popular there that she snagged the award for best leading actress at the Kouis Film Festival. Way to go.
Lilian!
This was an honor that many actresses had difficulty achieving.
However, on the one hand, Gilmore couldn’t help but be happy after Lilian won the reward.
On the other hand, Gilmore felt pretty grossed out seeing Erik trying to suck up to Lilian in front of everyone.
Erick was seriously skilled at buttering up Lilian.

Night fell.
In the luxurious presidential suite of Hotel Royale, Erik Fidalgo, who was dressed in a suit, was sitting on the sofa with a glass of wine in his hand.
He gently swirled the glass.

“Mr. Zellweger, all the guests are here?” Erik looked at a middle–aged man in a suit standing respectfully in the room and asked.
The middle–aged man replied, “Yes, all of them are here.”
That was right, even Hotel Royale was also owned by the Fidalgo Group.
As one of the Ten Great Families in Atita, the Fidalgo family ran businesses like hotels, entertainment media, advertisement, telecommunication, and so on.
They had dabbled in a wide range of fields and become a business giant.
Erik was the lineal descendant of that huge family.
And Mr. Zellweger was the general manager of Hotel Royale.
Erik asked Pete, “Is Lilian Morales, the celebrity from Eldoria, here?”
“Yes, Miss Morales is already here,” Pete replied.
Erik’s eyes lit up. He put the red wine on the table and said, “I fell in love with Lilian Morales at first sight.
“So later, I need you to do me a favor.”
Pete immediately agreed. “What can I do for you, Mr. Fidalgo?”
“Come here.” Erik motioned mysteriously.
Pete had to lean over and listen carefully,
Erik whispered in his ear for a while.
In the end, a sinister smile appeared on Erik’s face as he asked Pete, “Do you remember what I just said?”
Pete nodded and bowed. “Yes, I’ll keep it in mind.”
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Erik took out a small bottle from his pocket and handed it to Pete. “Do–as Tinstructed earlier. Spike the wine with the medicine.”
Pete took the bottle and nodded. “Yes, Mr. Fidalgo.”–
Erik ordered. “You go to entertain the guests first. I’ll be right there.”
“Yes. Pete left.

As the biggest sponsor of the Kouis Film Festival and the vice president of Fidalgo Group, Erik participated in the entire
event.
Therefore, he naturally had to meet with the major stars from Atita, Eldoria, and other countries.
During those meetings, he got to know Lilian, a popular actress from Eldoria.
At first glance, he was attracted by Lilian who was a born beauty,
A stunner!
And he felt even more attracted by the elegance of Lilian as he talked to her.
Then, he couldn’t get Lilian’s voice or smile out of his mind.
That was also why he made an exception to step onto the stage and give Lilian her trophy.
He even invited Lilian to act in the movie he was about to make.
He had thought that sending an invitation to Lilian on such a grand occasion would move her very much and conquer her in one fell swoop.
However, to his surprise, Lilian did not agree.
But even so, he didn’t give up.
And tonight’s celebration party would be his last chance.
He reached out to pick up the glass.
He swirled the wine.
Then, he drank up..
After finishing the glass of wine, Erik left the presidential suite.
The celebration banquet was held in the hall on the lower floor of the presidential suite Erik stayed at.
At that moment, the banquet hall was brightly lit and melodious music rang. All the well–dressed stars and nobles were
present.
Pastries, wine, delicacies, and fruits could be seen everywhere.
The waiters shuttled back and forth, serving the guests.
Celebrities and socialites chatted and laughed. They raised their glasses and drank heartily in a lively and happy atmosphere.
Lilian was dressed in a white dress and exuded an outstanding temperament, the focus of the party.
Almost all the male- guests present would glance at her from time to time.

Many celebrities toasted her one after another to congratulate her for winning the best actress at the Kouis Film Festival.
At that moment, someone came up to Lilian and said, “Hello, Miss Morales. Nice to meet you again.”
“Yes, Mr. Fidalgo, we meet again, Lilian greeted him back with a smile.
The person who walked up to Lilian was none other than Erik.
Seeing Erik approaching Lilian, those who had wanted to talk to her walked away sensibly.
“Congratulations, Miss Morales, for winning the best actress at the Festival. I want to propose a toast to you,” Erik said.
Lilian looked at his hand and didn’t see any wine, so she smiled and said, “I don’t think you have anything to toast.”
“Then what about this?” Erik smiled faintly.
Then, Erik turned to Pete nearby and snapped his fingers. “Mr. Zellweger, two glasses of wine, please!”
Pete was holding a tray, on which there was a bottle of Remy Martin and two full glasses of wine.
Upon hearing that. Pete immediately came over and said, “Mr. Fidalgo, this is the wine you asked for.”
Erik picked up a glass on the left side of the tray,
Lilian then raised her glass half full and said to Erik, “Mr. Fidalgo, I wish your Fidalgo Group more and better movies.”
However, Erik shook his head.
Lilian asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”
“You didn’t, but you’re not sincere enough. I have a full glass of red wine.
“And if you’re going to toast me with that meager wine of yours, that won’t do.
After that, he pointed to the remaining glass of wine on Pete’s tray.
Lilian had no choice but to agree. “Well, guess I’ll drink up this full glass of wine to express my sincerity.”
She then put away her glass and picked up the full glass on Pete’s tray.
Erik raised his glass and said smilingly, “Congratulations, Miss Morales. I hope to see you again at the Kouis Film Festival
next year.”
“Thank you” Lilian raised her glass.
The two of them clinked glasses.
Then, they drank up the wine in their hands.
Seeing Lilian finish her wine, Erik and Pete smirked at each other.
After the drink, Lilian smiled at Erik and said apologetically. “Mr. Fidalgo, excuse me. I’m going to the bathroom.”
Erik replied with a very gentlemanly smile. “Go ahead please.”

Lilian turned around and left. However, after taking a few steps, she felt light–headed and dizzy, as if she was drunk.
She couldn’t help but frown. She held her forehead and thought to herself, “Am I drunk?”
At that moment, Erik came to her and asked with concern, “What’s wrong, Miss Morales? Are you not feeling well?”
Lilian answered. “I think I drank too much.”
Erik suggested. “Then I’ll help you to your room to rest.
Lilian still wanted to say no, but she found that she felt dizzier to the point where she couldn’t even walk.
So, she nodded to Erik and said, “Mr. Fidalgo, please call my assistant.”
“Okay, I’ll help you to your room, and then call your assistant,” said Erik.

In the presidential suite of Hotel Royale.
Erik looked at Lilian lying unconscious on the mattress.
The corners of his lips curled into a smile.
“Mr. Zellweger, please stand guard outside. No one is allowed to disturb me,” he said as he turned to Pete.
Pete and Erik had helped Lilian, who was “drunk, into the room together.
Pete immediately took the hint. “Yes, Mr. Fidalgo. Please enjoy yourself.”
After that. Pete left the room and closed the door.
Erik stared at Lilian with hungry eyes.
None of the women he took a fancy to could escape from him.
So did Lilian Morales!
That was right, Lilian was “drunk and unconscious because Pete spiked her drink.
And it was Erik who instructed Pete to do so.
Everything had been planned.
Only in that way could he take advantage of her.
In the blink of an eye, Erik stripped himself.
Then, with an evil glint in his eyes, he approached Lilian on the bed.
He stretched out his filthy paws to the unconscious Lilian
Then, a dull thud rang outside.
Erik was startled, turned to the door, and asked aloud, “Pete, what’s going on?”
However, Pete did not answer.
Erik frowned. He had ordered Pete to stand guard outside and Pete would never leave.
Therefore, Erik turned around and walked toward the door to check.
But before he could take a few steps, the door was kicked open with a bang
Then, he saw a figure flash in.
Before he could react, the intruder kicked him between his legs.
That kick almost broke his balls.

And even if they didn’t break, the kick alone made him gasp in pain.
Erik’s face turned ashen. He opened his mouth wide but couldn’t make a sound.
Then, with a plop, he fell down and rolled on the ground.
It was Gilmore who almost crippled Erik.
Ca
Gilmore ignored Erik who was rolling in pain and went straight to Lilian on the mattress.
He picked up the unconscious Lilian and walked out,
As he walked past Erik, Gilmore said coldly. “Listen up, Lilian is my girlfriend.
“Im warning you today. If you dare to covet Lilian again, I’ll cripple you.”
After saying that, Gilmore kicked Erik in the face again.
He sent Erik flying a few yards away. Erik’s head hit a piece of furniture and he immediately fainted from the pain.
Gilmore carried the unconscious Lilian out.
After coming out of the hotel, Gilmore put Lilian in his Lamborghini.
Then, he drove away.
Early the next morning.
Lilian opened her eyes, only to find herself in a strange place.

She sat up from the bed and found that it was a spacious bedroom. The curtains in the room were half–closed, and she could see the sea through the floor–to–ceiling glass.
She couldn’t help but wonder. “Where is this place?”
It didn’t seem like Hotel Royale or the hotel where she was staying.
Because there was no way she could see the sea in those places.
At that moment, the door clicked open. In an apron, Gilmore entered with several plates of sandwiches, ham, fried eggs, and two glasses of milk on a tray.
“Gilmore….” Lilian felt more pleasant than surprised to see Gilmore.
But what was going on?
Gilmore walked over with a smile and placed the breakfast tray on the bedside table.
He said, “You’re awake. I made breakfast for you.”
Lilian smiled sweetly and nodded at Gilmore. I’ll wash up first.
Gilmore answered, “Okay, go ahead.”
Lilian got out of bed and went into the bathroom.

Gilmore explained. “Your wine has been spiked. If I had come a little later, I’m afraid you would have been eaten up by Erik Fidalgo.”

Lilian finally came back to her senses after feeling gratitude and happiness.
She then asked, “Gilmore, how do you manage to have so much money to buy a hillside villa?”
She knew that he had established the Evermore Group with Claire Carter.
She also knew that the Evermore Group was thriving.
But still, 100 million was not a small sum.
Gilmore explained, “In addition to the profits I made with the Evermore Group, I also made a fortune on the stock market.
“So, I can afford a villa halfway up the mountain that costs 100 million dollars.”
Lilian agreed that could indeed afford it.
He could always surprise her and even appear omnipotent to her.
She remembered the last time she returned to Elmwood, she had thought that Gilmore was still poor and thought little of himself like he did before.
But he had already won the lottery and had millions.
Later on, when Gilmore and Claire set up the Evermore Group, it flourished all over Vane.
Now, he had even spent 100 million dollars to buy a top–notch hillside villa in Kouis Bay.
She admired Gilmore so much.
She was his biggest fan.
After breakfast, they took a walk in the garden of the villa hand in hand.
The courtyard of the villa was very large, with a swimming pool, grass, and even a garden.
They smelled fragrant flowers under the shade cast by the green trees.
While walking, Lilian received a call from her assistant, Becky Swan.
It turned out that Becky had been looking for her all night, but her phone had been off.
Becky got so anxious that she was about to report Lilian missing
Fortunately, Becky got through to Lilian and asked her why she had disappeared after the banquet.
Lilian explained that she and her boyfriend left the hotel afterward and she just forgot to inform her.
After learning that Lilian was fine, Becky felt relieved and asked her where she was now.
Lilian said that she was on vacation in her boyfriend’s villa.
After hearing that, Becky sensibly did not mention picking Lilian up. Instead, she wished her a pleasant vacation and

decided to return to Eldoria first.
She also reminded Lilian to take good care of herself.
After that. Lilian hung up.
In the afternoon, two taxis arrived at the gate of the hillside villa.

Five people got out of the car–Gerald Graves leading four burly men.
The four were all bodyguards that Gerald had selected from the Carter family.
Gerald marveled at the high–end villa in front of him and couldn’t help exclaiming in his heart, “Gilmore is indeed rich!”
The hillside villa was in a favorable position both in terms of living environment and location. Even in the whole country, it was top–notch.
It was worth at least more than 20 million dollars!
Gerald didn’t imagine Gilmore buying such a luxurious villa in Kouis Bay.
Then, he rang the doorbell.
“Ding–dong-
Soon, Gilmore and Lilian walked out.
Spotting Gerald through the iron gate, Gilmore smiled and walked over with Lilian.
He opened the gate and greeted him. “Gerald, you’re here so soon.”
Before Gerald arrived, Gilmore had sent him the address of the villa.
Gerald nodded. “Yes, I wanted to see you as soon as possible.”
Gilmore could not help but tease him. “We’re not a couple, Why were you in such a hurry to see me?”
At that, everyone burst into laughter.
Gerald answered, “Although I’m not your girlfriend like Miss Morales, I’m your bodyguard.
“I was afraid you’d be in danger left alone in Kouis and I’d fail as a bodyguard.”
Sull, Gilmore felt a little touched.
Although he didn’t need Gerald’s protection, he could tell that he was sincere.
Gilmore led the five of them into the villa.
In the living room of a luxurious villa of the Fidalgo family….
Crash!”
The sound of a teacup amashing to the ground rang out.

The maid was so scared that her face turned pale and she screamed.
Erik roared at the maid fiercely, “Get lost!!” His forehead was bandaged and one of his cheeks was red and swollen.
The maid immediately fled from the living room.
At that time, Pete, who was also black and blue, came in from the door.
“Please calm down, Mr. Fidalgo. Pete looked at Erik with fear on his face.
However, when Erik saw Pete, his anger only deepened. “Mr. Zellweger, how dare you come to see me!”
Last night, he asked Pete to guard outside the hotel room, so he could take advantage of Lilian.
Nevertheless, not only did he lose the girl, but he was almost crippled by Gilmore.
And it was all because Pete did not warn him in time so that he could be on guard.
Pete looked aggrieved and pleaded with him. “Mr. Fidalgo, I was knocked out last night before I could even see his face clearly.
“I couldn’t have warned you even if I wanted to. But it was my dereliction of duty that caused Mr. you to be so seriously injured. Mr. Fidalgo, please punish me!”
Hearing that, Erik finally calmed down a little.
He sat down on the sofa and asked, “Did you find out who attacked me last night?”
Pete said solemnly, “I did. He checked into the Hotel Royale the night before yesterday, and he stayed in a presidential suite. His name is Gilmore Reed, and he’s from Eldoria.”
Erik frowned, his eyes squinting. “From Eldoria? Is he really Lilian Morales’s boyfriend?”
Pete echoed Erik’s guess. “That’s very likely.
“Otherwise, how could just anyone kick open your door and ruin your plan?”
“I don’t care if he’s Lilian’s boyfriend or not. He almost made me infertile, Erik said through gritted teeth.
“I must make him suffer 10 times the pain he afflicted on me.”
Thinking of the vicious kick Gilmore gave him last night, he felt a dull pain in a certain part of his body.
“But, Mr. Fidalgo, after he left the hotel with Lilian Morales last night, he drove away,” Pete added.
“We can’t find his whereabouts for the time being.”
“Find out where he is hiding at all costs. I’ll make him suffer a fate worse than death.” Erik clenched his fists, and his knuckles cracked.
Pete replied, “Yes, Mr. Fidalgo.”
Then he left.
Not long after Pete left, an old man in his 50s wearing traditional attire with a majestic face came in.

“Father!” Seeing the dignified–looking old man, Erik swooshed up and greeted him respectfully.
Yes, the old man was Erik’s father, Enzo Fidalgo.
“Mm,” answered Enzo before he sat down on the sofa, appearing slightly dissatisfied.
Erik felt a little uneasy as he sat down on the sofa.

Enzo stared at his son intently and said earnestly, “Erik, you are now the heir of the Fidalgo family, so you should be responsible for your deeds instead of acting willfully. If you flirt with women every day and even come back home all black and blue, when will you be able to shoulder the responsibility of the family?”
Erik immediately apologized with his head hung in shame. ‘Father, it was my fault this time. I’ll learn my lesson and live to your expectations.”
Enzo knew what had happened to Erik at the Hotel Royale.
He looked at his son and said, “Treat your injuries first. I’ll take you to meet the Suarez family in a few days and arrange a marriage for you
Shock registered on Erik’s face. “The Suarezes? A marriage?”
Chapter 318
Enzo nodded solemnly. That’s right. You’re already 30. It’s time for you to get married instead of being obsessed and flirting. with women all day long and ending up doing nothing!”
Erik answered, “Yes, father.”
Enzo continued. “I want you to get engaged to Luna because Kenji and Tatsuya Suarez died in Eldoria. The Suarez family no longer has an heir, and once you marry Luna, the wealth of the Suarezes will go to our Fidalgo family.”
Erik’s eyes lit up as he questioned Enzo. “But father, even though they’re dead, the family still has Hiroshi.
Tm afraid that even if I marry Luna, we won’t get our hands on their wealth.”
Enzo added. “Hiroshi died in Eldoria too.”
Shock registered on Erik’s face. “Father, why did they all die in Eldoria?”
“Mateo Suarez said that they had a car accident in Eldoria, but I think there must be something else going on, but he didn’t say it explicitly,” Enzo said.
Then, he looked at his son and said, “Come with me to the Suarezes‘ place in three days.
“Mateo also wants to find the best support for his granddaughter and family, and our Fidalgo family is absolutely one of his best choices.”
Erik replied. “Father, I understand. This marriage is beneficial to both of us.”
“That’s right. It’s good that you understand.” Enzo nodded.
Erik’s eyes lit up. Although he couldn’t get Lilian, it would not be bad for him to get Luna instead.
The daughter of the Suarez family was a famous beauty in Kouis.
Countless young men from rich and powerful families yearned for her.
In the manor of the Suarez family…
“Grandpa, what did you say? You want me to get engaged to Erik Fidalgo?” Luna, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, asked her grandfather in surprise.
Mateo nodded while sipping coffee. “Yes, this is my decision after careful consideration.”
Anxious, Luna refused. “Grandpa, I’m not getting engaged to Erik Fidalgo
Mateo tried to persuade her. “Although this is a little sudden for you, now you are the only hope of our family.
“And you also bear the burden of the entire family.

Luna asked in reply, “Grandpa, will you sacrifice my happiness for the sake of the family’s interests
Mateo questioned his granddaughter, “So you don’t like Erik? Though he’s not the top business genius among the Ten Great Families in Kouis, he’s not that bad.
“Most importantly, he is not engaged to any young lady from a wealthy family.
Of course, Luna knew about Erik, who was just another average young man from a wealthy family.
However, Luna only cared for Gilmore.
Moreover, after the romantic night at Star Gate, she had made up her mind to marry no one but Gilmore.
How could she still agree to get engaged to Erik?
Therefore, she confessed to Mateo, “Grandpa, I already have someone I like, so… Grandpa, please decline the engagement to Erik
Mateo looked at his granddaughter in surprise and asked, “Luna, you already have someone you like. Who is he?*
“He… he’s from Eldoria,” A faint blush appeared on Luna’s face as she lowered her head shyly.
Mateo couldn’t help but ask suspiciously, “From Eldoria? You haven’t been there in a long time. How could you fall in love with someone there?”
Luna hesitated. “He… he is a master of Star Gate. He saved me and killed Hiroshi for me.”
“What? What’s his name? Why did he save you?” Mateo immediately asked.
Needless to say, Luna’s words made him even more suspicious.
There was obviously a grudge between Star Gate and the Suarez Group. Why would someone from Star Gate save Luna? Luna was not good at lying. Under her grandfather’s questioning gaze, she knew that it was difficult to hide anything. Hence, she told him the whole story. She had led Gilmore to the secret villa of the Suarezes. After learning that Hiroshi wanted to murder her father and brother and take over the position of head of the family, Gilmore saved her and took her away from the secret villa.
Later, after Hiroshi killed her brother and poisoned her father, he went to Star Gate to look for trouble but was killed by Gilmore.
With the help of Gilmore, she saw her father for the last time and Gilmore even helped her deal with the funerals of her father and brother.
After hearing that, Mateo looked at Luna and said, “This master of Star Gate you mentioned is Black Eagle Master, right? Luna froze. She immediately realized that her father must have told her grandfather about Gilmore holding her “hostage That was why his grandfather knew about it.

“And not only do you not treat him as an enemy, but you also grew to like him. If your father and brother knew about it. they would definitely not rest in peace.”
At that, Luna became sad, with tears brimming in her eyes.
This was the first time that her grandfather had scolded her so harshly.
He even blamed her for forgetting to seek revenge for her father and brother.
She felt wronged and sad.
Choked with sobs, she defended herself. “Grandpa, I didn’t forget about their deaths.
“However, Black Eagle did save me and killed Hiroshi for me.
“He’s not a bad person. Grandpa, can’t I like him?”
“No!” Mateo almost immediately interrupted her.
“Luna, in three days, I want you to get engaged to Erik. Even if Black Eagle is not the murderer of your father and brother, he caused their deaths. I will never let you two be together!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mateo left the living room with an ugly look on his face.
Luna heard him order the masters outside. “From today on, Luna can’t take one step out of the manort”
“Yes, sir, all the masters immediately replied.

The dining room on the second floor of the hillside villa was brightly lit.
Gilmore and Lilian sat at the table where there were three red candles on a metal candlestick.
In front of them were steak, foie grasebread, and wine.
Gilmore and Lilian were having a candlelight dinner.

The atmosphere was romantic. Both of them looked at each other with affectionate smiles.
Gilmore raised his glass and toasted Lilian. “Cheers, Lili. I wish you beautiful and charming forever!”
Lilian smiled beautifully and said, “Thank you!”
Their wine glasses clinked.
Clink!
Then, they drank the red wine in their hands.
After putting down the glasses, they began to cut the steak with knives and forks..
Gilmore picked up a piece of tender steak with a fork, put it into his mouth, and savored it.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
Ring, ring, ring.
Lilian glanced at Gilmore and reminded him. “Someone is calling you.”
Gilmore put down his cutlery and checked his phone. It was a call from Luna Suarez.
Therefore, Gilmore said to Lilian, “I’ll take this.”
Lilian nodded at him.
Then Gilmore got up and left his seat for the balcony outside the living room.
Lilian couldn’t help but wonder who the caller was.
He had to have some space for the call.
On the balcony on the second floor, Gilmore picked up the call Hello, Luna, what’s wrong?”
“Gilmore, my grandfather wants me to get engaged to Erik Fidalgo in three days. What do you think I should do?” Luna sobbed on the phone.
Gilmore quickly comforted her, “Luna, calm down. Don’t worry, you won’t be engaged to Erik Fidalgo. I promise you!”
“Gilmore, I told my grandpa I like you, but he opposed us being together, saying you caused the deaths of my father and brother Luna cried.

“How about this? I’ll go to your house in three days and resolve all the misunderstandings, okay?”
“But I’m afraid even if you come, my grandpa won’t listen to you. He might even have our masters attack you,” Luna answered worriedly.
Gilmore chuckled. “You don’t have to worry about that. Even if it’s your family’s masters, they won’t be able to touch a hair of my head.”
Luna seemed to remember that Gilmore was a good fighter, so she finally cheered up a little. “Can you really resolve my grandfather’s misunderstanding about you?”
Gilmore confirmed her question. “Yes. It’s not a big deal. You’ll see in three days.”
“Okay. I’ll wait for you,” she said. She trusted Gilmore very much.
“That’s it then. I gotta go.
“Okay, bye–bye.”
After that. Gilmore hung up, returned to the hall, and sat down.
“Gilmore, who was it?” Lilian asked casually, but in fact, she felt very curious.
Gilmore continued to cut the steak as he replied. “Luna Suarez, from the Suarez family.”
Lilian’s delicate eyebrows frowned slightly. “Luna Suarez. Isn’t she popular among the boys from wealthy families in Kouis? Why did she call you?”
Gilmore sent a piece of steak into his mouth, chewed it, and explained. “I saved her life in Eldoria, and then she fell in love

Lilian dropped her knife and fork on the plate.

“And you’ll also be my lover in this life. My love for you has never changed.

She could tell that his feelings for her remained the same.
Lilian stared at Gilmore and asked, “So what about Luna Suarez??
“Luna is someone I like too. I promised her that I would protect her for the rest of my life,” Gilmore declared solemnly.

However, at that moment, she heard Gilmore say, “Nothing’s gonna change my love for you for a tiny bit.”
Even her soul was shaken.
As long as Gilmore still loved her, he would not leave her.
As long as she was with him for the rest of her life, she would lead a satisfied life.
That said, Lilian had to act cautious so she asked again, “Will Luna Suarez make an enemy of me and demand you leave me if she knows I’m with you?”
Gilmore said, “First come first served. You are my girlfriend before her. It’ll be good enough if you don’t drive her away. How dare she be rude to you?”
Hearing that, Lilian breathed a sigh of relief.
She realized that she mattered more to Gilmore than Luna Suarez.
That made Lilian feel much more at ease.
“You said it yourself. If you dare to abandon me for another woman and forget what you said to me today, I won’t let you off Lilian glared at Gilmore.
However, Gilmore smiled evilly and said, “Okay, I’d like to see how you’re going to not let me off tonight.”
Lilian immediately took the hint. She blushed and said, “You bad guy, I don’t want to talk to you.”
“If you don’t want to talk to me, then I’ll talk to you. Cilmore rose and craned his neck to kiss her on both cheeks.

Three days later, at night, in the manor of the Suarez family.
Several luxury cars entered the manor and stopped in front of a very luxurious villa.
The bodyguards of the manor immediately stepped forward to open the door and Enzo and Erik got out of the cars.
Mateo and Luna, who had been waiting in front of the villa, immediately walked forward.
Of course, compared to a smiling Mateo, Luna didn’t have the slightest hint of a smile on her face. The only thing on her face was icy coldness because she didn’t like the engagement to Erik at all.
Mateo stretched out his hand to Enzo and said with a warm smile. “Enzo, you’re finally here!”
Enzo shook hands with Mateo and said, “Sorry to keep you waiting.
“No, you came just in time.” After saying a few pleasantries to Enzo, Mateo looked at Erik and said, “Erik, welcome to our place.”
Erik bowed and greeted Mateo. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Suarez!”
Then, he bowed to Luna too. “Miss Suarez, nice to meet you
However, receiving Erik’s greeting, Luna acted very indifferently and only nodded slightly.
Given the cold shoulder, Erik couldn’t help but think, “Why does it seem that Luna doesn’t like me?”
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Mateo quickly said to the father and son, “Let’s go inside and talk”
Enzo nodded with a smile. “Sure, let’s talk inside.”
The group of people entered the villa and sat down in the living room.
Then, Mateo made coffee and served it to Enzo and his son, as well as himself and Luna.
“Have some coffee!”
“Please!”
After a few sips of coffee, Enzo looked at Mateo and said, “Mr. Suarez, we discussed the marriage of my son and Luna a few days ago.
“I wonder if there are any changes by now.”
A smile appeared on Mateo’s face. “How could such a wonderful thing possibly change?
“Luna and Erik are a perfect match for each other.”
Enzo and his son were delighted to hear that.
Haha. Mr. Suarez is right. They are indeed a match made in heaven.
Since Mr. Suarez thinks that there is no problem, let’s choose a good date to hold a wedding for them.”

Mateo nodded. “Mm. Alright”
However, just as Enzo and Maleo had already decided on the marriage of Luna and Erik…
Sitting in the living room, Luna, who had been dissatisfied for a long time, immediately objected. “I don’t agree with this marriage!”
As soon as she said that, Mateo frowned, while Enzo and Erik felt surprised.
In truth, they had long ago discovered that there was something strange about Luna.
They just didn’t expect that she would disagree out loud.
“Miss Suarez, is there something about Erik you don’t like? If so, just tell me and I’ll ask him to change it,” said Enzo amiably.
Erik echoed his father firmly. “That’s right, Miss Luna. As long as you ask, I can change it.”
However, Luna said. “There’s nothing wrong with you. It’s not about you. The reason is I already have someone I like.”
Erik instantly looked embarrassed and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
He had never expected that she had a lover.
It was a slap in the face!
Even if he married such a woman, it was impossible for her to really like him.
To be honest, he really wanted to leave.
He didn’t want to o embarrass himself there.
However, Enzo stopped him with a glance, hoping that he wouldn’t act on impulse.
Obviously, in the eyes of Enzo, whether or not Luna had a lover was not important.
What Enzo wanted was the tremendous business worth of the Suarezs.
Enzo smiled, looked at Mateo, and said, “Mr. Suarez, I didn’t know that Luna already has someone she likes. Why don’t we… “Enzo, it won’t matter. Since we have agreed on it, we won’t change it. No matter whether she has a man she likes or not, she can only marry Erik.” Mateo voiced his opinion in an unusually firm tone,
When Enzo and Erik heard that, they looked at each other tacitly
It seemed that Mr. Suarez Senior didn’t agree with Luna being with the person she liked.
However, Enzo wasn’t surprised at all. After all, how could a daughter of a wealthy family like Luna marry someone without any background?
Of course she’d marry into a wealthy family that was of equal social status and of great help to her family.
That was right. Enzo had mistaken Luna’s lover for an ordinary person.
He thought so because he knew Mateo wouldn’t object if that man was rich and powerful like Erik.

Luna looked aggrieved and pled to her grandfather. ‘Grandpa, I don’t want to…”
Suddenly. Mateo turned solemn as he said, “I won’t change my mind. No matter what you say, I won’t let you be with him.”
Luna knew that she wouldn’t be able to convince her grandfather, her eyes brimmed with tears.
At that time, she only hoped that Gilmore would appear soon.
Gilmore had promised her that he would stop the marriage.
Moreover, she had sent a message to Gilmore before Enzo and Erik arrived.
Gilmore replied that he would be there on time.
However, his grandfather and Enzo were about to settle on the marriage.
And Gilmore had not appeared yet.
That made Luna panic.
At that moment, a man came in.
It was the butler, Dylan Simpson.
Dylan reported respectfully to boyfriend. He asks to see you.
“I wonder if you want his
Mateo. My lord, there is a young man outside the door who claims to be her lady’s
him to see him.”
Upon hearing that, Mateo frowned and glanced at Luna.
Then, he replied to Dylan. “Well, since he’s here, I’ll settle an old score with him. Let him in!”
“Yes, my lord.” Dylan turned around and left.
When Enzo and his son heard that, they looked at each other with imperceptible joy in their eyes.
Speak of the devil.
There was going to be a good show!
Only Luna was secretly worried.
After a while, footsteps rang, and Dylan walked into the living room with a guest.
The person who followed Dylan in was none other than Gilmore
When he saw Gilmore, Erik’s eyes immediately flashed with hatred. He swooshed up from his seat, pointed at Gilmore, and erupted. “It’s you!”
Gilmore looked at the furious man and smiled faintly. “Oh, it’s Mr. Erik Fidalgo. Your head and face haven’t recovered yet?” Then, Enzo, Mateo, and Luna were all stunned. They knew each other?
