Richest Mogul

Elsie's eyes were enough to make anyone's heart flutter.

As Alban recalled Joe's cold attitude toward Elsie, a new thought crossed his mind. He wondered if Joe was afraid to touch a woman who was too innocent. After all, everyone knew how much Joe cared about his wife.

"I understand," Elsie whispered, biting her lip and nodding obediently.

No matter how embarrassing, she had no real choice in the matter. She didn't have the power to decide her future, whether she would be someone's mistress or who she would end up in bed with.

"You'll come to my room later. I need to brief you on some things," Alban said as he rubbed his bulging belly, a decision already forming in his mind.

...

Back in the elevator, Paul didn't hide his thoughts and directly shared them with Joe.

"Why do I feel like Mr. Rowe's intentions aren't as simple as they seem? What a coincidence that we're staying at the same hotel. And that assistant of his-she seems like the type who's there to lure you in. I don't know where he found her, but she looks just like Mrs. Martin."noveldrama

It wasn't that Paul was paranoid or disliked everyone. It was just that nowadays, too many people had ulterior motives and tricks up their sleeves.

There were endless schemes.

Joe glanced at Paul. "Have someone investigate Mr. Rowe."

"Will do."

...

An hour later, after a brief rest, Elsie arrived at Alban's room. He had just finished showering.

Elsie wasn't sure if he hadn't had time to put on clothes, but he was only wrapped in a towel around his waist.

Elsie couldn't bring herself to look directly at him. She had no interest in looking anyway, especially considering that Alban was around her father's age. Unlike her father, he didn't take care of himself. He was overweight, and his belly was quite large.

"Is what Mr. Rowe wants to discuss with me about Mr. Martin?" Her voice was soft and delicate.

It wasn't that she was being coy; her family had raised her with the utmost care. She had learned ballet and etiquette from a young age, so speaking respectfully came naturally to her.

Alban felt a slight thrill as he listened, walking over to the bed and patting the edge. "Sit down, let's talk. It's about Mr. Martin."

"I can stand here and talk, Mr. Rowe. If it's about Mr. Martin, I have an idea. He'll be flying back to Jipsburg in the next couple of days. I could be on the same flight. I'll make sure to get his attention.

"I found out about his wife's work

and have something I can use. It's an emerald pendant my

grandmother gave me. I'll take the opportunity to have him take adook," Elsie said, her head lowered. This was the best plan she could come up with.

Alban's eyes lit up as he listened. "Not bad, as expected from someone young. You think fast. To come up with a plan so quickly, just like you said, I'll have someone arrange a flight for you with Mr. Martin."

Seeing Elsie was wary of him, he

smiled again I can tell you're very smart. When I asked you to sit by the bed, you immediately refused That means you know exactly what I want Since that's the case, make things clear.

"Joe has never seriously looked at you, probably because you're too pure, and he doesn't know how to approach you."

Elsie looked startled and stared wide-eyed at Alban. "Mr. Rowe, you..."

"Tonight, you'll stay with me." Alban squinted his eyes, his gaze slowly scanning Elsie from head to toe.

No wonder she studied ballet when she was young-her figure was truly impressive.

Elsie was better than the two women he was currently keeping, and she was young enough.

Elsie's face turned pale, her body trembling uncontrollably. "You. Mr. Rowe, I... I..."

"What? You don't want me? Don't forget how much your family owes me. If I give the word, your family will be bankrupt. You'll never rise again in Jipsburg. I'm not here to waste time with you.

"You're smart enough, so listen up. Play along with me tonight, and even if Joe turns his back on you, I'll still take care of you and your family."

Alban was losing his patience. The moment was ripe, and he couldn't wait any longer.

Elsie immediately burst into tears. "Mr. Rowe, I-"
