Chapter 241 - 240: Devil

Evelien was already eighteen months and she had grown up to look like her father Nathan.

At first the adults thought that Nathan would hate the child and would even abandon her after birth.

Yes, he did planned to abandon the child. He was not even there when she was born. He was on a business trip.

But a single photo of the child sent by An Qi changed everything.

He then left earlier than schedule to verify it himself.

Those who knew the existence of the child had been pursuing Nathan to bring it home after given birth rather than giving it up for adoption. Celine was willing to adopt the child if her brother didn't want it.

And Nathan didn't express any intentions of listening to them.

So they were surprised to see Nathan bringing a newborn baby one night in the mansion. Nathan loved the baby and they could see it.

Even the two little brothers adored their younger sister so much.

What more intriguing was that she shared Li Wei's temperament.

She even shared Li Wei's green eyes. Her checks were also so fluffy like that of a dumpling.

They had seen the woman on the photo and she was a typical foreign girl with blonde hair but grey eyes.

They just realized that little Evelien had Eunji's dumpling cheeks, eye color and temperament just like Li Wei. Maybe that's why Nathan decided to bring the girl home.

However, they kept their observations for themselves as they didn't want to upset Nathan.

Celine would take a few days off once every six months to visit the three children.

Over the past two years, Mei and Celine's relationship had also improved dramatically.

Thanks to these three angels whom act as catalysts in making the mother and daughter to get closer.

They had solved the big misunderstanding between them and Celine no longer hated her mother.

So on her off days, Celine would go to the mall together with Mei, Grandma Sana and the three toddlers to shop for clothes and other baby stuff.

They would go to MJ World, the mall that Nathan owned. The security was very tight especially when they would go there to have fun.

Aside from the fact that she's a celebrity, these three children were the heirs of the billion dollar worth of empire.

Whenever they go, Celine would wear a disguise to not attract her fans.

After all, she had grown big domestically and had won two best actress award for two movies.

As for her love life. Celine was hopeless.

Everyone thought that J and her would end up together but to everyone's dismay, they didn't happen. Well, there was the chemistry between them but J still hated Nathan for what had happened to Eunji.

In fact, Celine's being pursued by Luo Mian and Nathan was strongly against it but Celine asked him to ignore the man as long as he didn't go to the extreme.

But still Nathan went behind the scenes to help her sister. Of course, she didn't have to know about it.

Luo Mian was Angelina's ex-husband. He was also the guy who had hurt Celine in the past.

One of the reasons why he wanted to kill Angelina was because he learnt that Celine was in China and he thought that she was there because she still loved him.

But Celine had already gotten over Luo Mian but Luo Mian being the thick-skinned bastard kept on chasing her.

And besides, she was so busy to entertain the man.

Everytime the Lous would sponsor a project offered to her, she would decline it immediately.

And Nathan, being the supportive brother that he had always been to her, would fund the project that Celine really liked to take part.

That's how Celine knew that Nathan was helping her.

As for J, he left overseas a month after Eunji's burial.

South Korea

A beautiful woman wearing a gold mask and black tailor-made business suit was sitting on her executive chair sipping her nth cup of coffee of the day.

At first glance, she had that a mysterious and captivating aura on her that could draw people to look at her.

Well maybe because she was wearing that mask.

It was said that the woman had gotten involved in an accident that disfigured her face making her looked ghost like.

Her employees had not seen her because she handled all of the operations of the company through virtual call.

Even her employees didn't know that the top of her every company building was actually an apartment where she would randomly picked to stay.

All of her office would be located a floor below her penthouse apartment.

Her office had this minimalistic black and gold motif with a little red and white on the furniture and fixtures like her white computer desk with customized apple computer monitor.

The two glass walls on her left and right were actually huge LED screens which played the actual landscape view on every famous tourist spots in the world.

If she wanted to have her office in the middle of the Amazon forest, she could do that. Or in the middle of the vast Sahara desert or go underwater. She could shift the atmosphere thanks to that LED screens surrounding her.

Yes, this was now a trend actually. She liked it more compared to the very usual and boring city landscapes.

No one could come inside her office. Only the top executive could step on her floor. Aside from her apartment above it, this was her sanctuary and she didn't want others to spoil it.

Aside from her office, only her two trusted assistants could have their office on the same floor but they were not close to where her office room was.

A lounge and an VIP entertainment room was separating them from her.

These two assistants, who also wear a pair of masks like her had a much higher position than her appointed CEOs. After all, they were the right hand and the left hand of the mysterious Chairwoman.

The CEOs had their designated office a floor below the Chairwoman's office.

For the past six years, her companies namely the Anileve FC and Phantom Eternal Realm Inc. had created a stable footing in business.

However, they had started creating big waves almost two years ago.

Anileve FC, Seoul, was now recognized as one of the best financing company of the world.

Businessmen around the world would come into their office with their respective project proposals and presentations hoping that at the end of their appointment, they could receive the big fat yes from them.

On the other hand, Phantom Eternal Realm Inc., USA was now the leading RPG company in the world. Their mobile RPG game app called 'The Phantom Elites' were very popular to mobile gamers online.

Almost a billion users had already downloaded the app on their phone and it was projected that a few months from now, they would reach their billionth.

This was a huge milestone for the wold of gaming app.

No one had achieved it since RPG world had become popular.

PERI had also hosted a world wide e-game tournament for two years now ever since the game was established.

These two companies were under ELEK Group, the chairwoman's holding company which the main office was in Seoul.

ELEK Group had a couple of promising subsidiary companies under their wing. In short, ELEK Group had slowly spread their influence in every industries in business such as in real estate, construction, hotel and accommodation, and air lines.

Ever since she let her presence and existence known over the past two years, she was now recognized as the world's richest business woman billionaire in the world by Forbes.

The CEOs and the top executives working under her, called her the DEVIL not because they were afraid of her terrifying and cold aura but also because they thought that she had a very ugly appearance underneath that gold mask.

She didn't have a name either. Therefore she gained that DEVIL as her nickname. But she didn't mind though. Only those two assistants know her name.

And of course, since ELEK Group had created a huge wave in the business world over the years, a lot of businessmen were also eager to meet her.

They even tried to bribe the CEOs so they could have an appointment with her in person. Who would not want to meet such outstanding person, right?

However, their countless attempts were futile.

The CEOs were paid handsomely by the Chairwoman together with greatest benefits in exchange for their loyalty to her. And besides, she was their life benefactor.

They would never dare to bite the hand that fed them.

Although they were already huge globally, ELEK Group had no plans in penetrating China.

Yes, Anileve FC had a few branches all over the world, including in Japan, US, Europe, Australia, India, Dubai, Singapore and in the Philippines.

It seems like the chairwoman was avoiding it for a reason.

Despite her success, she was actually alone and lonely making the two assistants to pity her. All they wanted was for her to be happy.

As she finished her cup of coffee, she received a message from her mobile phone and she picked it up.

Even with the mask, her expression had changed dramatically upon reading the message.

She then pressed the intercom to call for her assistant.

A while after, she heard a small knock on the door and she pressed a button to open the door automatically.

"Prepare the private plane. I'll be going to Paris tonight." She said with a voice changer.

The male assistant nodded and spoke in a very familiar voice.

"Okay. Do you want me to go with you?" He asked.

The male assistant felt like she would do something reckless that might hurt her again.

He cared for her dearly. It was evident on how he spoke to her...

However, the woman who now had an iron heart spoke to him in an indifferent tone.

"Thanks Mr. Jin but no."
