"Done and deal with."

Cain leaned and crossed his legs, tapping his slender fingers on his knee.

Cold sweat broke out from the pale woman's face as she met Cian's frosty gaze. "Young master, about the person spreading the rumors. How should we proceed?" she said, voice full of respect.

Even on the other side of the screen, every nerve in her body tingled at the murderous air emanating from Cain.

"Leave it . . . for now."

She sensed her young master's hesitation and dissatisfaction in letting the matter off. It couldn't be helped since the one spreading the rumors belong to the same upper echelon as her young master. And . . . a longtime family friend.

"As you wish. Young master, about that Rowan guy?"

Cain typed something on his phone.

After seconds, she received an e-mail. She read the contents and bowed.

"It will be done."

And the screen turned black.

"Four, what did young master said?"

Four stared at the seductive temptress across her, and a wicked smile stretched her lips.

"You're up."

"Elder Cousin, what should I do?! Cain doesn't like me! He doesn't even want to see me!" Holley's pearl-like tears fell from her face.

After she filed a leave from school, she stalked Cain since three days ago, hoping to see him. She wanted to have a 'sweet' encounter with him, but even with his elder cousin's help –– Cain remained elusive as ever.

He eluded her like a deadly plague. She advanced, he retreated. She chased, he avoided. There was no 'sweet' interaction at all, let alone trapping him!

She was no fool. Cain didn't want to see her. And she couldn't accept this!

She refused to accept it!

Arthur Goldwood enveloped her in a gentle embrace.

"Cousin, relax. Although he can escape you these past few days, tonight is the night that we will finally corner him."

Arthur wiped the tears from Holley's face and raised her chin to meet his eyes.

"Don't cry. Remember, you have to look your best."

"Is everything prepared already?"

Arthur grinned and grabbed a small box. Inside was a simple gold ring with a single white pearl as decoration. The pearl was so tiny, making it unnoticeable at first glance.

"The pearl is the drug. Push the pearl down to release it from the ring. Remember, it will take a while for the effects to surface. Just do what I've told you to do and everything will go smoothly."

Holley stared at Arthur, a bit unsure. "Will Cain take the bait?"

Arthur's expression turned a deep shade darker. "I've already contacted my inside man. Don't worry, Cain Fay will definitely take the bait."

Holley beamed a sweet smile.

She knew this was risky and a method born out of desperation, but she loves Cain for more than five years to give up now. She was not about to let some wh.o.r.e steal Cain from her.
