Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld

Lela glanced at Eleanor, didn't argue, but smirked, "Yeah, some connections." Eleanor gasped.

[Sarah, did you get the papers? It's signed, as I can see.]

Lela looked away from Eleanor and at her phone. [Got them, Thomas. Thanks.]

[You're welcome. When are you coming to Central City? Come over for dinner; I'll have my chef make your favorite.]

Thomas was chatting with Lela when a tall man walked down the stairs. He wore a white shirt and dress pants, making him look even taller.

He walked down lazily, with the posture of a gentleman, his back straight, and it seemed like his body contained immense strength.

He seemed to be a natural gentleman.

Lela sent a message: [Sure, Sarah will definitely come when she's free.]

Thomas saw the message and smiled.

Michael noticed Thomas, who was usually serious, smiling and was surprised. "Grandpa, you're in a good mood today."

Thomas put away his phone. "Remember Sarah? She's in high school in Greafury City now. It's been three years since I last saw her. I really miss her. Wonder how she looks now." He looked up at Michael, a glint in his eye. "Michael, what do you think of Sarah?"

Michael didn't miss Thomas's calculating look. Remembering how beautiful Lela was even as a teenager, he said with a smile, "Sarah is still in high school. She has a bright future ahead." Thomas frowned. "You know what I mean. Don't try to change the subject."

A servant brought a tray to Michael. He took the priceless watch from it and slowly put it on, not answering Thomas but saying, "I have to head to Radiant Country tonight. When Sarah comes, make sure to give her the gifts I've prepared over the years."

With that, Michael turned and left. Thomas watched Michael's back and snorted.

Michael received a message informing him that the shipment he sent from Radiant Country to The Immortal Man was intercepted halfway by the Dragon Gang and the Illusionist Guild. He had to handle it immediately.

In Class 12A, Susanne received a message from Zoe and fainted at her desk. The classmates didn't know what was happening and quickly went to the office to call the homeroom teacher. Dorothy was terrified when she heard the news and promptly took Susanne to the infirmary. Dorothy had no choice but to call Zoe.

Zoe was begging the bank for a few more days and asking them not to pressure her so urgently. But the Harrison family had fallen, and no one was willing to help Zoe. Suddenly, she heard that Susanne had fainted at school and rushed over. After Zoe woke up, Susanne and Zoe hugged each other and cried.

"Mom, you said it was the CEO of Starlit Group who gave it out?"

Zoe clenched her fists, gritting her teeth. "Yes, the CEO of Starlit Group and his chief designer, Sophia, set up your father. At the financial summit, they released all the evidence, including a recording of your father's confession. I didn't know about the summit details until your father told me during a visit."

Susanne's eyes turned fierce. "This isn't simple. They must have planned this for a long time."

"But why would they do this?"

Zoe was confused.
