Chapter 364
It would be a lie to say that Michelle was completely unbothered. However, she wasn't one to retaliate with sharp words. Instead, she spoke in a low voice. "We're all colleagues. Is this really necessary?"The two women sneered. "What? You still won't admit you sold a villa with your body? If you can, why don't you sell a few more houses? How ridiculous!""That's right. If you want us to stop casting weird glances at you, you should prove us wrong with your actions. But do you have that ability?" Just as their taunts faded, a colleague, accompanied by a woman, rushed over. "Michelle, this client is looking for you."Michelle quickly turned away, and a signature smile appeared on her face. "Hello, I'm Michelle Smith."The newcomer was Wendy, who looked her up and down before smiling. "I'm Wendy Kinsley. I'd like to buy two villas from you if that's okay?"Michelle could hardly believe her ears. After a moment, she quickly responded with enthusiasm, "Of course! Please follow me. I

Before George could finish speaking, Michelle had already covered her mouth in shock. The expressions of those around her mirrored her disbelief. It had to be a joke. Rolling two dice could yield a maximum number of 12, which meant potentially buying 12 villas. If that were the case, Michelle would earn so much in commissions that she could kick back and relax.Even though the probability of rolling a 12 was exceedingly low, it didn't matter; the smallest number was two, meaning she would still be making a huge profit. The crowd slowly began to realize that Michelle's success was not merely luck. Clearly, someone powerful was supporting her.Even the sales manager and several members of the management team rushed out, as the commotion was too great to ignore. At that moment, George had already tossed the two dice onto the ground. After rolling around, they came to a stop, prompting everyone to gasp."Wow, it's 12! Why didn't I have this luck when I was gambling?" George muttered,

The VIP seats were in the middle of the concert hall, closest to the performance stage. Everyone knew they were reserved only for the elites. Naturally, most of them were young people; the older generation was rarely seen. Dreamscape wouldn't invite them, either.The VIP seats were all large, single-person couches with unmatched comfort. Beside each couch was a small table with various fruits and drinks.George was one of the earliest to arrive. He had nodded repeatedly to many people he knew, although not to the extent of standing up and greeting them. A polite nod was more than enough.However, he had to stand for some people, such as Nala, who was just passing by him now."Lady Nala, I can't believe you actually came."Nala, as always, wore her veil. Whenever people saw her, there was an urge to lift the veil, though none had the courage."Hmm."With a slight nod, Nala continued onward with Yvonne by her side."Could you let me say a few words to Yvonne?"Without breaking h

"You'll bring me in? What do you mean?" Felix asked, frowning. He didn't recall Xena ever inviting him to the concert."Oh, don't be so coy. I'm in charge of security for this concert, so bringing you in shouldn't be an issue for me." Xena retorted.Felix glanced subtly in Alistair's direction and suddenly understood what was happening."Thank you for the gesture, but Alistair's already left. You don't need to put on this fake show of affection with me."Had Alistair left? Xena turned slightly, confirming that Alistair had indeed already moved off with his team. As always, he was meticulous. Even though he saw Felix, he hadn't stopped to greet him and only focused on his duties."Now that I've made the offer, I won't go back on it! You came all this way to see Dreamscape's concert, right? I'll take you in," Xena insisted.Felix chuckled coldly. If this had been anyone's first encounter with Xena, they might have mistaken her for a gentle, understanding woman. But the truth was th

"Yes, my mistake," George said apologetically.But what had happened had already happened. Felix hadn't been wrong. Initially, everyone focused on the pre-show program on stage, and no one noticed Felix until George came over to his side.Nala and Yvonne were among the first to notice. Their expressions changed upon seeing Felix."Interesting. Felix got an invitation to Dreamscape's concert, too?" Nala mused.Yvonne, however, seemed puzzled. "Lady Nala, isn't it normal for him to be invited, considering he's the top young medical talent in Dragonia?"Nala's gaze returned to the stage before she replied, "You don't understand. Dreamscape's invitation criteria aren't that straightforward. Take a closer look. Why is Ryan the only one here out of the five who are pursuing me? Is he more talented than the other four or the leader in some field?"Yvonne paused, realizing she had been wondering the same thing. If Ryan was here, why hadn't the other four shown up?"I can't explain why,

Dreamscape invited Felix backstage? He was taken aback. Truth be told, he didn't know Dreamscape, nor had he ever paid her much attention. Why, then, had she singled him out and invited him backstage?Seeing him hesitate, the manager nearly slapped him on the spot. If it weren't for Dreamscape's instructions to treat him politely, she would have let her anger flare.Was he joking? This was an invitation from Dreamscape herself—a face-to-face meeting!Anyone else would have been overjoyed and wouldn't hesitate for a second, but here he was, actually thinking it over."Fine, I'll go with you." Felix finally rose, curious about what Dreamscape wanted from him.As he followed the manager, everyone in the VIP area turned and looked. It was an unprecedented sight."Oh? Could it be that Felix knows the mysterious Dreamscape? If so, that might explain why he was invited to the concert," Nala murmured.She made no further comment as she stood to leave. Yvonne, who was about to share her

Felix nodded earnestly. "It was incredible, Delilah. It was truly moving. I'm not exaggerating."Receiving Felix's praise, Delilah's expression lit up with happiness. However, she soon pouted her lips."I thought you'd be so smitten with someone else that you wouldn't even have the heart to listen to my concert," Delilah said grumpily."Huh?" Felix blinked in confusion. "What do you mean?"She extended a slender finger and tapped his chest. Feigning an accusing tone, she said, "Don't play dumb! Leslie has everything in all the right places and sizes. Am I wrong?""Uh!" Felix took a step back, genuinely startled.He stammered as he tried to respond, "How… how do you know about that?"Delilah remained quiet, sinking back onto the couch and fixing Felix with a direct, piercing gaze that made his scalp tingle.Felix quickly started explaining, "Delilah, I had no choice! Didn't Leslie explain it to you? She was poisoned, and I did what I had to do!"Delilah laughed. "Silly, did you

Perry was dead. He lay on the ground in front of Ted's grave, with blood pooling around him.Xena was overwhelmed with grief. With her parents gone, she had only Curtis to rely on, and she cherished every one of her relatives. Now, seeing Perry dead before her and with what looked like a suicide, the pain was unbearable for her.Yet, Jaden's expression remained calm, as if he had anticipated this scene. There was even a flicker of schadenfreude in his gaze."Xena, now's not the time to feel sad. Think about why your uncle would choose to take his own all of a sudden," Jaden said.Still crying, Xena looked at Jaden, feeling confused, "What do you mean?""When I arrived, he was still alive! He only told me that he was sure that Felix was responsible for his son's death, though he had no proof. Maybe, as a father, he found it unbearable to go on without avenging his son's murder."Xena felt guilty. She looked down at Perry's lifeless body."Uncle Perry, why did you have to take suc
