His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 497 The World Within My Grasp

With the question given, whispers arose in the hall; both the guests and reporters gladden that someone finally brought it up.

If given the same opportunity, they will take this chance to ask the same question, which was why they were all gathered tonight.

Sheena swept her gaze to the entire hall, then fixed her eyes on the table where her dad and Jacob were seated.

Fred nodded at his daughter, cheering her up to answer it.

"Thank you, Mr. Dion." Sheena smiled and thanked the reporter, who was the person they assigned the task to fire this question.

The event tonight is an opportunity to break down the news. Since someone wants to mess up their lives, they will give them a dose of their own medicine.

"In the past few days, the world was in chaos after news erupted that my dear brother had died after being assassinated. Reporters around the globe harassed our family, friends, and even our employees and business partners because someone emailed them to confirm the news they received from an unknown sender."

"How credible is the source of this information? It is a big question even for us. Among everyone who knows the truth?"

"I would not deny that the news isn't real. However, it isn't telling the entire truth."

"In the past months that my brother lived with his girlfriend, his life has been threatened. P Country heard the news that my brother encountered an accident, and after a thorough investigation, a group of people orchestrated the accident. Including these people is my brother's nominal wife's family, which we recently found out that the marriage was fake."

"What? Is that true?" Whispers once again arose in the event hall and outside the hotel; reporters were excited to note this revelation.

"This is unbelievable!"

"It was true! Have you forgotten the documentary? They often highlighted that the couple first met in Budapest one year before Mr. Shen married a girl named Eva Lan."

"Then is marriage just an act?"

"That's right! Aren't wealthy people common to this kind of setup? They would look for someone to act as their wife or lover, then get divorced after a few years."

"Well, it's not surprising at all."

Meanwhile, as this revelation struck the world, Sheena continued to deliver her speech.

"After that, my brother's life continued to be threatened. And yes, recently, my brother encountered a group of men that ambushed his convoy."

Suddenly, the event hall filled with gasps and muffled noises from the guests. Even the reporters, bystanders outside the hotel, and every netizen who watched the live streaming were shocked to see the images and videos played on the big screen.

"My brother is on his way to the airport when it happens. Fortunately, my brother had escaped, and his bodyguards defeated their attackers. As you can see on the screen, cars are on fire, and bullet shells are left on the scene."

"In the past few days, the Special Task Force has finished investigating and collecting several evidence pieces. After they find out what weapons they used and locate where they bought these bullets, it will be just a matter of time before naming who is the mastermind of my brother's assassination."

"But Liam Huo is already gone to jail."

"Who did you suspect this time?"

"What is the profound reason someone wanted your brother dead?"

"Could it be because he married an heiress like Princess Hailee Davies?"

The order and silence inside the event hall become chaotic when the guest reporters raise their questions at once.

Standing on the stage's corner, Kristian hurried to the microphone a few feet from him and persuaded the reporters, who began throwing questions.

"Please, settle down, everyone, and let Director Keller continue."

While Kristian is announcing this, security personnel wearing dark blue suits rush inside the hall to settle down the reporters making commotions.

"Please, get back to your seat, sir. We are permitted to drag out any guests who would cause an interruption in the event."

Upon seeing these bulky men, the reporters shudder from fear. They were giant men. With those muscles, they could easily crush them.

The reporters finally settle down, and so Sheena continues.

"Alright. Is everyone calm now? Can I carry on now?"

"Yes, please!" Replied by other reporters who only observed silently.

"Now, where were we?"

"The recent assassination of Mr. Shen. Please enlighten us."

It was Dion Simons who answered Sheena. The latter smiled at him gratefully for doing his job well.

"As I mentioned a while back. My brother escaped from his assassins; however, he could not disclose where he was hiding to ensure safety. My brother will appear before us after the investigation of his assassination is complete."

"Now, everyone… Allow me to thank you once again for joining us tonight!"

Sheena spoke a little more, and this time, she acknowledged even guests present from the business world.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world…

"Heh." Samuel curled the corner of his mouth after he watched the live streaming. He picked up his phone and dialed his master's contact. "Master…"

"I watched the live streaming. Very well! As I expected from Shun Crow, or I may say..." The joyful voice, replaced by a crisp laugh, echoed in Samuel Miller's ear.

His master had crazily laughed once again as he was delighted with the drama playing before his eyes.

"... I didn't make a mistake in choosing the twin Carlisle and Klein Williams. They are outstanding actors in my play! Excellent, Samuel!"

At the end of the call, Samuel twitched his mouth. Sometimes, he could still not figure out how his master's brain worked. Is he crazy or a genius?

'Perhaps a crazy genius.'

"Samuel, I want you to find Vincent Shen, dead or alive. It doesn't matter!"

Samuel shook his head and sighed inwardly, not letting his matter hear it. "Okay. I will contact my men to search for Vincent fast."

"I want it soon!"

Samuel pursed his lips and sneered in his heart. Once again, it frustrates him, but he has no say and complains.

"I'm on it. Please give me a couple of days, master. John will fly to T Country after the party in Zen City. Vincent will be in your hands soon."

"Good! You will be rewarded soon!"

After that, the call hung up. Samuel dropped his phone on the table and leaned back.

"I don't need any reward but to watch how Vincent's body is rotten," he mumbled.

However, the man Samuel called master has another plan in his mind.

"Vincent Shen, the world will be within my grasp. Soon, your body, identity, and love of your woman will be mine."

The room was filled with crisp laughs and could be heard in the hallway, causing the palace guards to shudder with terror again.
