Within a minute, a harmonious atmosphere was spread in the room and only Allen sat quietly by the side and watched the three of them conversate joyously.
He leaned on the back of his chair, his handsomely-carved face was intimidating and his cold eyes were scary and fierce.
By the way he was seated, he displayed pride and elegant temperament which was fascinating enough.
“Allen, I had discussed with Uncle Bruce, the engagement dinner is to set on the 1st next month, what do you think?”
Benson looked towards Allen and asked in an irrebuttable manner.
Hearing about the engagement, Emily blushed involuntarily and her eyes were bright with expectancy and fantasy.
Allen sneered and stood up to stare at Benson, he opened his lips slightly and said in an extremely cold and sarcastic voice.
“Engagement? Have I agreed to that?”
Hearing Allen’s words, the expectant face of Emily froze to the spot.
The blush from the pretty face began to fade away and her pretty eyes were then filled instead with disappointment and astonishment.
In Country Z, other than her, Emily couldn’t find another woman who was worthy enough to be Allen’s wife.
Undoubtedly, she was the best choice for Allen and the perfect mother of his child.
It was because of this that Emily had always been confident and proud. She was so sure that Allen would engage her no matter what and so she had been behaving as perfect as she could.
Gentle and sweet, natural and graceful. She never thought that this man would refuse to engage with her without any mercy.
“Allen!” Hearing Allen’s words, Benson snapped at him with an angry and distressed face.
“I apologize for ruining your moods, but I’d like to explain myself that I did not come here for the engagement. I came only to explain that I, Allen Tim, won’t get in any engagement with Emily Bruce, and I, Tim’s Empire, certainly don’t need to take advantage by the means of a marriage!”
Allen finished his words plain and quick then stood there in a king-like posture, intimidating and arrogant, like a fierce and cruel cheetah.
“Allen, you…”
Emily’s face was covered by disappointment, with her watery eyes, she looked at Allen weakly.
No man could ever say no to such a beautiful and pitiful girl.
It was different with Allen. Ever since he had Belle Spriz, there was no place left for any other woman in his eyes, his heart or his mind. These women were nowhere as good as his Belle.
Seeing the tears in Emily’s eyes, Allen grew even more resentful and disgusted.
Only the tear from Belle would touch him and pain him while no other women would ever hope to have such an effect on him.
He turned away to leave without any emotional turmoil even after seeing the pitiful Emily.
It never dawned on Emily that Allen would ignore her like this when she had such a misery look.
The tearful and pitiful face froze on the spot and she watched in shock as Allen turned to leave.
“Allen, you damn son, come back here!” Benson was so angry that his face was burnt with fire.
However, Allen who had already left the room continued to walk ahead without looking back, leaving his angry father behind.
His thin lips were pursed with certain satire and sarcasm and his eyes were clouded with darkness and solitude, looking lonely and sad.
Bob has been close with Allen for more than a decade and he couldn’t help but feel compassionate towards him.
“Young master!”
He was used to calling Allen boss at work but he preferred to call him “young master” in private.
“Back to the villa!” Allen got in the car swiftly with tiredness showed between his eyes then he closed his eyes to rest.
“What about Belle…” Bob asked worriedly.
“Let’s go home first!” His low magnetic voice sounded tired. He felt a little restless and so he fished the cigarette case out of his pocket and lit one.
The smoke blurred his refined cold face almost an instant. With a hard-to-read dark and puzzled face, he glanced outside the window, feeling a little lonely.
Belle, what should I do with you?
In the VIP presidential suite of the Victoria Hotel, Belle and Kevin were seated face to face, the air between the two was subtle and in the end it was Kevin who gave in.
“Alright, if you can solve it, I won’t get involved but the brothers and sisters in Dark Night worry about you very much!”
“How are they?” Belle raised her eyes and asked.
“They’re all well, except…” Kevin stopped abruptly, he looked at Belle and seemed difficult. In fact, it was one of the main reasons he traveled to Country Z.
“What is it, who?”
Seeing Kevin’s difficult face, Belle blinked her eyes and asked.
“It’s Night Owl. He came to Country Z on a mission a week ago but was then disappeared completely and we couldn’t make contact even by tracing his signal, so we suspect…”
Kevin’s voice trailed off and his face turned grim.
“You suspect that he was being detained by a secret organization or the high level?”
Belle guessed with a sullen face.
“Yes, we’re not ruling out the possibility, he has disappeared for a week after all, and anything can happen now!” Kevin replied seriously.
“Give me a day, I’ll find out. As for you, help me keep an eye on the Fraizer and look for a way to sell this. Remember not to blown your identity!”
Belle instructed Kevin while she took out a chip from her bag and handed it over to him.
“What’s this?” Kevin took over the chip and asked curiously.
“This is the new game software the Fraizer develops and they’re planning to launch it in the market next month. You go look for a reliable company to make the deal, preferably one of the competitors of the Fraizer family so that we can enjoy a good show.”
Belle raised her eyes which were full of the coldness from the calculation.
“He who offends you surely won’t end well. Not to mention the Fraizer family who tried to buy your death. Being targeted by you, I think they should mind their own lives. Don’t worry, I’ll get it done nicely!”
“I’m always reassured with you. Did you bring my stuff?” Belle stared at Kevin and asked.
“Do I dare to forget? Here!” Kevin walked towards the desk and took out a quite small-sized laptop from the drawer and passed it to Belle.
Belle took it and turned it on, then she started to type in lines of instructions with her fine fingers.
As Allen got inside the villa and before he could change his shoes, there came a special warning alarm from his cellphone.
Fully alert, he took the cellphone from the pocket.
Once he saw the secret code on the screen, he went out of the villa and told Bob who was still outside the villa.
“Emergent intelligence. Gather in the underground base!”
“Yes, sir!” Bob became highly alert when he heard Allen and got on the car immediately. The black Rolls Royce sped into the night.
