Unable to resist the curiosity clawing at his heart, Tony pried open the notification. His eyes narrowed as he finished reading. The search history, all about Shadow Seeker.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Alpha Kilian is searching for Mommy as well? It was hard for him to fathom Alpha Kilian’s reaction when he finally discovered Nelly’s true identity. The thought brought a knowing smile to Tony’s face. Things were about to get interesting. Tony discreetly wiped away any evidence that could expose him, then shut down the computer.
He slipped into his bed, the excitement of the night still coursing through his veins. The next morning, the Moonwalk pack awoke to a series of shocking news on every major media outlet. It was all about the events that unfolded at Morris Corporation’s anniversary.
“Shocking news! Alpha Kilian Morris, CEO of Morris Corporation, is already married! Mrs. Morris made a stunning appearance at the anniversary, captivating everyone with her beauty! Just in: Alpha Kilian Morris, CEO of Morris Corporation, is married and has three sons! Lucas Corporation humiliated itself and faced consequences during Morris Corporation’s anniversary.”
The presence of Mrs. Morris dealt a heavy blow to Lucas Corporation at Morris Corporation’s anniversary! Newspapers were filled with attention-grabbing headlines, all revolving around Morris Corporation. Nelly’s name was trending alongside many famous female celebrities. Netizens swarmed to the internet to discuss the breaking news. One comment read: “This is what true wealth looks like. She’s absolutely beautiful! More stunning than any celebrity. If she were in the entertainment industry, she would reach incredible heights with her looks and figure. Rich people like her don’t bother with the entertainment industry! She is the most beautiful woman of the year.”
“I’m already a fan! Can it be true that she already has three kids? She doesn’t look like she’s given birth… Am I just blind?”
Aside from the discussions about the media reports, some uploaded videos of Nelly holding hands with Erin at the party that night. The moment the videos hit the internet, they gained immediate attention, with many people praising her. Nelly’s name dominated the top five trending spots. “Such a powerful and beautiful woman. She’s like the main character! Did anyone notice how she didn’t bother explaining herself and instead demanded an apology? She’s so charming! Look at the love in Alpha Kilian’s eyes towards her. Only a woman who is adored like that would dare to be so fearless.”
In a nutshell, Nelly had become the talk of the Moonwalk pack. Meanwhile, at Prosper Technologies, gossip spread like wildfire the moment the news was published. At first, there were doubts about its authenticity, but after watching the videos, no one questioned it anymore. While the Moonwalk pack was reeling from the news, Chris, Ross, and Tommy were still hard at work in the conference room. Their eyes strained from hours of staring at screens. When they decided to take a break, Ross opened his phone to unwind. As he took a sip of water, he read the group chat and nearly choked. Tommy stared at him with disdain.
“Could you be any more repulsive?” Ross didn’t bother replying and turned his attention to what was currently trending. After a few minutes of scrolling through the news, he looked back at Tommy and Chris. “Guys, big news!” Tommy glanced at him lazily. “Which man is rumored to be with your goddess now?” “No, it’s about Ms. Jackson, Ms. Wealthy!” Ross quickly showed them his phone screen. “Ms. Wealthy is trending!” Intrigued, Tommy and Chris reached for their own phones. “What’s going on?” Tommy’s eyes widened as he read the headlines. “She’s married to Alpha Kilian?” Chris furrowed his eyebrows. “Aren’t they siblings?” Tommy asked. “Who said that?” Ross responded, still in shock. Chris remained the calmest of the three. “Didn’t she tell us that our guess was wrong that day?” Tommy chuckled. “This is so unexpected. They don’t even look like a married couple.” “The news even mentioned her three children being acknowledged by Alpha Morris,” Ross added, pausing to ponder before continuing, “No wonder one of the children looked so familiar. I thought I’d seen him before, but I couldn’t remember when. Now, the truth is revealed.” The three men exchanged astonished looks. “Ms. Wealthy is quite secretive,” Tommy concluded. “Does she even look like a CEO’s wife? If she’s that rich, why is she working at our company?” Ross questioned, eyeing them. “Why are you asking us? I have so many more questions,” Tommy replied. Ross fell silent, his gaze fixed on the news. Suddenly, a realization struck him, and he piped up, “Well, at least we’ve confirmed something!” “What?” Chris and Tommy looked at him. “Compared to Lucas Corporation, we have a much closer relationship with Morris Corporation,” Ross said, arrogance lacing his tone. “We’re practically sworn brothers with the CEO’s wife. How about that?” Chris turned to him, raising an eyebrow. “Aren’t you worried about this? Mr. Morris gets jealous easily.” Ross, whose arrogance had faltered, blinked in confusion. “P-Pretend I never said that.” Chris and Tommy couldn’t help but find it comical, bursting into laughter. Chris returned his focus to the news displayed on his phone. “However, this woman clearly has no idea who Boss really is, considering the chaos she’s causing. It won’t be long until Lucas Corporation meets its end,” he commented. “They’re already on the verge of closing down. Several suppliers are demanding payment from Lucas Corporation.” A phone was brought out, showing a video of a massive crowd gathered outside Lucas Corporation’s entrance and the Lucas residence’s main doors. Banners held high as people demanded their money. The sight raised all three men’s eyebrows. It seemed like the company had brought it upon themselves.
Meanwhile, Lara’s anger grew with each passing moment as she read the news. It reached its peak when she saw the look of adoration in Alpha Kilian’s eyes as he protected Nelly. He had never looked at Lara that way, despite their long history. The more she scrolled, the closer she came to losing her temper. Throwing her phone onto the couch, she seethed. She had planned to use Erin as a pawn to get rid of Nelly, but not only had Erin failed, she had inadvertently created opportunities for Nelly. Erin’s actions had caused such a stir that everyone knew about it. Useless! What a foolish woman! Lara’s frustration only grew as thoughts of Nelly stealing everything that was rightfully hers consumed her mind. And with that, a venomous and resentful glint flashed in Lara’s eyes. She refused to sit idly by any longer. She vowed to fight for what she deserved, no matter the cost. With that thought, Lara calmed herself and picked up her phone to make a call. “It’s me.” Just as the other person on the line prepared to hang up, Lara continued, “Don’t you hate Alpha Kilian? Only I can help you with this…”
