Chapter 317 - Best Friend Forever, eh?

God knows how much Venus was enjoying her bullying. She finally found the perfect person to vent her bottled frustration. Indeed, there are tons of activities for her to release the stress on her heart, alas, anything she does for the last month, from the moment she came to know that her 'hubby', her knight and prince was actually a GIRL!

All the efforts she had done preparing her forthcoming 'wedding', the gorgeous custom made wedding dress just for her and the romantic honeymoon she was eagerly looking forward to... the image of her lifelong dream of marrying the ever charismatic Luciano slowly shattered before her eyes.

Hence, to somewhat relieved the worries of her hubby turned wife and also her stress for the delayed wedding, Venus must accomplish chasing the cursed vixen out of her matrimonial house.

Yes, though she knew that Luciano is actually a woman in disguise, the pure and deep love she has for Seraphina didn't change. It just needs a little adjustment but Venus was still head over heels to her boss.

Glancing at her expensive limited edition wristwatch, Venus smiled widely that her audience never had seen before.

"Just in time." She mumbled and turned her sweet smile back to Marga.

Seeing her smile, Marga's already creased brows knitted even more. For some odd reason, her heart began throbbing louder as she felt a bad premonition behind Venus mischievous smile. 

Clenching her hand into a fist, Marga was reminded of the piece of doc_u_ment that was on her hand. Hesitating to read its content, alas, with the pressuring gaze of her guests and everyone that were waiting for the confirmation of Venus claims, Marga, with her trembling hands slowly opened the folded paper.

The doc_u_ment was folded into four, yet, to her, every passing millisecond as she unfolds the doc_u_ment, her heart skips a beat without any concrete reason. It's as if her instincts tell her that it wasn't good news; not one bit.

'DEED OF SALE'

The three first words that welcomed Marga on the header of the doc_u_ment was akin to a cold water splashed on her. Hence, seeing the title of the piece of paper, she hastily opened it without reserved and read its content.

Marga only skimmed through its content and saw Seraphina's signature on the end. She sold it! Marga raised her disoriented gaze towards the smiling woman before her. Its as if that fleeting time, Marga felt much smaller with the judging gaze from her own guests and clear disgusts from Venus.

Wren rubbed his chin as he was deep in his thought. The depressing silence circling on her huge office broke when a loud knock outside his office door snapped him from his thoughts. Knowing the only shameless person who would drop by in his office every once in a while, Wren didn't bother to turn his gaze on the door as he was certain that the person will surely intrude without permission.

Shortly after, just like what he predicted, the door abruptly opened and revealed Alexander Han's dashing figure. Alex nonchalantly entered and directly sat on one of the sets of sofa inside Wren's spacious office.

"Flash report; your hunch is wrong." The moment Alexander Han positioned himself in a comfortable posture, he informed Wren unenthusiastically.

"Wrong? Is that so?" Wren creased his brows together as he skeptically responded. He tapped his index finger on the surface of his desk as his eyes squint. After some time, Alexander Han spoke his mind, insinuating something.

"Or that was the investigation result stated."

"I know… oh ho, this Jin Family finally showing their fangs." The corner of Wren's lips slightly curled upward, bemused on the news of the so-called new recruit. Glancing at the calm countenance of Alexander Han as he flipped the page of the magazine he was skimming through from Wren's decoration, Wren's insinuated.

"You sure looks calm investigating your best friend forever, eh?"

"Hmm. If he meant harm to my beloved boss, I wouldn't mind losing a friend." Without turning his head while continuing to look through the magazine, Alexander Han bluntly and heartlessly affirmed. Wren slightly nodded in satisfaction. At the least, Alexander Han proved his worth being one of them despite Seraphina living in seclusion for the last three months.

Alexander Han having the Han Corporation wrapped around his fingers due to his brother's absence and intel on the dirty business world surely was a benefit for them especially for Wren. After all, even though Wren's oriental branch was now established, the Han family still hold the most secrets in the industry.

Hence, when the problem that rose three months ago targetted the line of business Wren was in, Alexander Han secretly extended his helping hand. However, someone like Wren who had a keen sense on his playground wanted to gain more knowledge about the said problem. While he's at it, Wren instinct told him to connect the dots if it'll lead to the Jin family but to no avail, there's no trace of the Jin family involvement.

"Interesting…" Wren mumbled in delight. It was as if he accepted a challenged of this seemingly calm before the storm in the economy of the business world. After all, Wren had too much peace in the battle of money and status hence, he was inclined to see more of it.

Just then, Wren's spare phone inside on one of the compartments of his desk vibrated. Since the office was too silent, both men were alerted. If the call came from their modified phones, it meant something urgent or hold a great value.

Wren hastily opened the compartment and grabbed his odd-looking smartphone. Seeing the caller ID of Riggs, he immediately answered thinking that it concerns Seraphina.

"What? Something happened to her?"

"Ahh, goddamnit… you also don't know?" Riggs exasperated words went through the line which made Wren's brows knitted in confusion.
