Chapter 20 - Reunion

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Inside the house…

Lucy, who was quietly sizing up Heller through the camera, suddenly paled!

She knew that there was a long distance between her and Heller; she knew that this was just footage from the surveillance cameras,

But…

When Heller pulled the trigger, when the bullet shot nearer and nearer toward her from afar, and when Heller’s gunshot smashed the camera, Lucy nevertheless couldn’t help but feel her scalp go numb! She couldn’t help but tense up all over!

It was as if Heller’s gunshot had really struck her!

On top of that, it was even a headshot that struck her right in between her brows!

Lucy had a dark and sinister look on her countenance.

The butler said cautiously, “Ms. Lucy, I’ll bring some men over with me and kill Heller immediately!”

After a moment’s thought, Lucy shook her head and said coldly, “No! The Hades Swords have suddenly appeared in L.A. and storm clouds are gathering in the city tonight. We shouldn’t act rashly because of a mere nobody like Heller!

.

“Even if we want to kill him, we have to do it secretly!”

“Go, invite him in! Take him to Villa No. 3! Tell him that I want to speak with him personally!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

…

The Xanders’ residence wasn’t an ordinary mansion but a manor. There were three villas in the manor and Lucy was in one of them.

Heller was very familiar with the residence because it was originally the Nicholsons’!

Five years ago, when Lucy seized the Nicholsons’ assets for herself, she had also taken the manor as her own and turned it into the Xanders’ residence.

Now, it was that vicious woman again who wanted to ruin Ruby!

Heller would never let Lucy off!

Killing intent gradually bubbled and boiled in Heller.

At this point, the Xanders’ butler came out. He looked at Heller condescendingly, put on a fake smile, and said sinisterly, “Heller, milady invites you to the residence for a talk. However, I wonder if you have the courage to walk through the gates of the Xanders?”

Heller replied calmly, “This is my home. Why wouldn’t I?”

The butler sneered and said, “In that case, this way, please!”

The Xanders’ manor gates opened large and wide. Without any street lights inside, the place was pitch-black, making it seem as if a powerful beast had opened its cavernous jaws in front of Heller!

Heller walked in without hesitation!

…

Lucy and Heller’s meeting place was at the small three-story villa on the left. It was originally meant to be Heller and Lucy’s bridal chamber after their wedding.

The butler left after he led Heller there. The entire villa seemed devoid of anyone.

Only the half-open door of the master bedroom at the side hall was lit by a faint light.

Heller walked over, pushed the door open, and went in.

Then, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

He had thought that Lucy might prepare a big ‘surprise’ for him, such as a cluster of jet-black gun muzzles or a group of ferocious bodyguards.

However, there was only one beautiful woman in the room!

She stood in front of an open closet as if she had just changed, and her clean and fair back faced Heller.

Upon hearing footsteps, she turned and glanced at Heller, who couldn’t help but narrow his eye a little.

Just the view of her back alone was enough for a young man to think about for a year! Sensuality filled her every action!

Even after five years, Heller had no choice but to admit that she was really very beautiful—in fact, even more so than before!

Her makeup was exquisite, and beneath her slanted bangs were delicately arched brows and flaming red lips. She was flawless!

The black and red sleeveless gown set off her slender and seductive figure, making her look all the more enchanting.

Her arms were as fair as snow and her long, slender legs started at a point even higher than the dresser.

However, her most seductive feature was naturally still her moist large eyes. As her gaze moved, every frown and every smile of hers was as if it could speak. She was a bewitching sight to behold.

An enchantress! She was an out-and-out enchantress!

She… was Lucy Xander!

Lucy looked at Heller and said with a smile, “You’re here just in time! Pull up the zipper on my back for me!”

Pull up the zipper?

Prior to this, Heller never imagined that Lucy’s first words to him after five years of absence would actually be such a request.

In the middle of the night, a lone man and a lone woman sharing the same room… It was as if Lucy had left herself defenseless against the young and impetuous Heller.

“Do you remember?” A smiling Lucy, “I was also wearing this dress when we first met back then. I’ve kept it with me all these years. What a shame that I’ve gained a little weight, so it doesn’t fit so well anymore!”

Heller fell silent for a moment. Then, he stepped forward and slowly pulled up the zipper for her.

Lucy twirled on the spot. The black and red gown spun along with her as though it was singing and dancing!

If one were to say that Ruby was a young woman from a middle-class family, then Lucy would be the model example of a fiery dominatrix!

She walked up to Heller, stood on her toes lightly, and said coquettishly, “It’s been a long time, Mr. Nicholson!”

Heller gazed at Lucy, feeling as if a whole lifetime had passed him by.

Anyone who saw the two of them right now would probably think that they were a pair of young lovers in love with each other.

Who would have imagined that there was, in fact, an irresolvable blood feud between Lucy and Heller?

It went back to the same thing—Lucy was simply too gorgeous. Back then, Heller had also been crazy about her and regarded her as the woman he loved the most.

Unfortunately, though the rose may be beautiful, it came with thorns!

Buried beneath Lucy’s gorgeous visage and figure was a cruel and vicious heart!

Back then, Lucy had also spoken his name again and again like what she was doing tonight. She was the one who had said the words “I do” to him, yet she was also the one who sent all the Nicholsons to their graves!

It was just like how she looked so dazzling and beautiful at this moment, yet she had almost ruined Ruby just now!

She was a slut! A bitch!

Lucy sized up Heller and said with interest, “You must be wishing you could kill me right now, right?”

Heller’s eyes narrowed.

Lucy smiled playfully and said, “Sorry, I used to pretend to be magnanimous and intellectual in front of you, but as the mistress of the Xanders now, I’m more accustomed to going straight to the point. It’s more efficient that way!

“I know you wanted to see me. What a coincidence! After a separation of five years, I also really want to see what you’ve become!”

As she spoke, Lucy swiftly came forward and leaned against Heller without any reservations. From Heller’s angle, he could even clearly see the expanse of fair skin under her gown!

Yet it seemed like Lucy didn’t care! At the very least, she didn’t care that her body was exposed to Heller’s eyes!

She stretched out her long, slender fingers that were naturally perfect for playing the piano, and gently tilted Heller’s chin upward. Her coquettish eyes gazed straight at Heller and her lips parted slightly as she said aggressively and teasingly, “After all, you and I were once madly in love with each other! I know you very well! I know you couldn’t wait to see me!”

“Right?”

As she spoke, Lucy started to push her luck.

The look in her eyes started to turn hot and fervent!

Just as her stunning visage was about to press right against Heller’s, Heller looked up slightly and gazed at Lucy indifferently.

He didn’t avoid her gaze in the least. Rather, he simply stood motionless where he was with a cold and indifferent look in his eyes, as he looked emotionlessly at Lucy right in front of him.

One was hot and fervent while the other was cold and indifferent!

It was just like a confrontation between ice and fire! If the fire didn’t melt the ice, then the ice would surely put out the fire!

Lucy curled her lip and said disdainfully, “After not seeing you for five years, you’ve become even less romantic, Heller. How utterly boring!”

Right after she said that…

Smack!

Heller gave Lucy a tight slap. Then, he said indifferently,

“Am I a little more interesting now, bitch?”
