Chapter 27
At that moment, Yelena, who was standing on the stage, was holding onto Emerentius‘ artwork while trembling.
She could not believe that Emerentius would create a piece of art just for her.
What is so good about me to receive this?
At that very second, Yelena was no longer the alluring Rose Queen nor the icy–hearted assassin Nightrose. She was merely a
normal young woman who received attention from her favorite personality.
But at the same time, she was also the woman Emrys respected most–Yelena Lynch.
Sure enough, everything was Emrys‘ plan.
The night before the last, Yelena had had a bad time at Lorenzo’s place. The conservative old- timers had thought that Yelena
had no right to have a place in their social circle.
Fine. She won’t join your circle, then. I’ll hold a banquet and let you find out who truly stands on the top instead.
Instantly, numerous collectors began trying to curry favor with Yelena and invite her to visit their collections.
A wealthy business owner even offered hundreds of millions in an attempt to purchase Yelena’s Burgeoning Rose, but Yelena
rejected him.
The businessman was not angry, nevertheless. He passed her his name card, hoping to be friends with her.
Everything they were doing was to get to know Emerentius through Yelena.
They were certain that Yelena had to know Emerentius and was close to the artist. Otherwise, there was no way Emerentius
would have dedicated his painting to her.
It was highly likely that all collectors would memorize Yelena’s name after that day and remember that she was someone very
important to Emerentius.
Lorenzo, Patrick, Harrison, and Rowan could only stand far from the crowd as they watched the people compete for Yelena’s
attention. Bitterness swelled in their hearts...
They had had the best chance to get to know Emerentius, yet they were also the ones who had shot themselves in the foot.
The group turned to cast furious looks at Rowan.
This b*stard’s the reason for our misery. If not for him targeting Ms. Lynch, we would’ve been able to get to

know her and Mr. Emerentius. Him? Reading Mr. Emerentius‘ mind? Nothing but bullshit came out of his mouth!Thump!
Harrison was gripped by regret. Right then, he convulsed and fell to the ground, his entire face red.
“Dad!” Rowan cried out.
Patrick was the first among them to snap back to his senses, and he hastily took out his medical kit to perform acupuncture for
Harrison in the same way as the night before the last.
However, not only did Harrison not wake up, but his convulsions worsened. He even started bleeding out of his orifices.
“Why is this happening? Tell me! Why is this happening?” Rowan screamed at Patrick as he grabbed the latter’s collar.
Patrick was panicking as well, for he had never encountered something like this before.

“I... I don’t know. This worked the other night, so why is it... I’m going to call and consult my teacher about this!”
“Consult? My dad’s going to be dead by the time your teacher’s here!”
In his fury, Rowan punched Patrick, knocking Patrick’s glasses off.
Right then, Rowan spotted Emrys, and he scrambled over to the other man. “Mr. Lund, my dad, he... he’s going to die! Please
save him!”
Emrys only gave him an apathetic glance. “I thought a certain someone wasn’t happy about me questioning his proficiency in
medicine?”
“Patrick’s just a f*cking quack! Mr. Lund, I shouldn’t have lost my temper with you the other day! I should have trusted you. You
can punish me in any way, but you have to save my father, please!”
Even though Rowan had a foul mouth and a lousy character, Emrys had to admit that he was better than some others when it
came to family.
At Emrys‘ silence, Rowan rushed over to Yelena and went on his knees.
“Ms. Lynch, I was an idiot to have said those terrible things to you that night! Please forgive me!”
Even Lorenzo chimed in by pleading, “We’re talking about human life, Ms. Lynch. Please help us convince Mr. Lund to save
Rowan’s father!”
Human life...
Yelena was a coldhearted assassin who had taken a few lives, but those lives belong to the wicked who had committed ghastly
crimes.
