Chapter 5 Is It Against The Law To Forcibly Take A Man Away

Watching Ansley's receding figure, a trace of coldness and harshness flashed through Wilson's eyes.

If his memory served him right, the way she looked at him just now was as if she was looking at her prey.

How could he suddenly become the prey? He had always been the predator, right?

"Conor, do a background check on that woman who went out just now."

Conor, who had been sleeping soundly, was awakened by Wilson. Before he came to his senses, he heard Wilson's order.

Who did Wilson mean? Was there a woman here?

"Sir, have you just woken up too?"

Wilson was speechless for a moment. Then he said, "Come to my office right now!"

Inside Wilson's office, he and Conor checked the surveillance video on the computer and watched it again and again.

"Sir, have you been under too much pressure recently?" Conor was afraid that Wilson had been so exhausted that he was hallucinating.

"Shut up!"

Wilson was also confused. Why didn't the surveillance video in his office capture that woman? He saw her walked out with his own eyes.

He didn't believe in ghosts. He knew that he wasn't just imagining things either. That woman had really appeared in front of him just now.

However, she had only left a vivid and beautiful memory in his mind. There was no trace of her coming in and out of his office in the surveillance video.

Was it really because he was too exhausted? Wilson leaned against his chair and rubbed his temples.

Conor observed Wilson's every move carefully in fear that Wilson was scared out of his mind by those eager women pursuing him. It seemed that he had to tell Wilson's father to stop sending women around Wilson for the time being.

"Sir, do we still have to continue checking?" he asked cautiously.

"Never mind. She's just an insignificant woman, anyway," Wilson responded and leaned against his chair tiredly.

He didn't realize that although he just met Ansley once, he couldn't keep calm for even a moment ever since she left.

Ansley left Wilson's office without knowing that her sudden appearance had aroused suspicion in Conor's heart. She rode on her Segway scooter again and headed towards the hotel for the press conference.

When she was in Wilson's office just now, she saw Anthony's figure. She had only used a simple teleportation technique, but she was detected by him. He had never been this diligent before.

She looked up at the sky with her sharp eyes, and the person hiding behind the clouds couldn't help but shiver and hug himself tightly.

"Mr. Luo, it has been an hour. Do you just want us to sit here with you?" After waiting for a long time, some reporters had grown impatient.

Eddie's expression darkened, but he still said patiently, "I'm sorry, everyone. Our press conference is actually scheduled to start at eleven o'clock."

Everyone was rendered speechless. Indeed, he was really good at making excuses.

"Grandpa, do we need to waste our time here just to wait for my sister?

If she comes tomorrow, does it mean that we have to wait here until tomorrow?"

Obviously, Everly spoke for the reporters, and she naturally won their favor. For a moment, they all defended her as the real daughter of the Luo family.

"Yes, that's right. Mr. Luo, that woman is just a nobody. She must be a bumpkin who doesn't know where she comes from. Why do you have to..."

"A bumpkin?"

An ethereal voice was suddenly heard behind the crowd, which interrupted the reporter.

A gust of light wind blew over as Ansley walked in, and she seemed to shine slightly. Everyone held their breaths and couldn't take their eyes off her.

Everly was already one of the most beautiful women in Imperial City. They didn't expect that Ansley was even more beautiful. All the people there had obviously fallen in love with this charming and devastatingly beautiful woman.

Her whole being seemed to have been covered by soft light, and her delicate features were so flawless. Although she was a woman, she seemed to emit a domineering aura and treat everything with contempt.

When the reporters came back to their senses, they picked up their cameras and aimed at Ansley. Then the constant shutter sounds reverberated around the room at once.

'I can't believe she actually came, ' Everly thought to herself.

Looking at Ansley, who was walking towards the stage, a hint of viciousness and disgust flashed through her eyes.

On the other hand, Eddie ran down the stage excitedly at the sight of Ansley. He stretched out his hand reverently to help her.

But the stern look on her face stopped him. He immediately understood what it meant, so he restrained himself.

He knew that she would never go back on her promise.

Under everyone's gaze, Eddie invited Ansley to the main seat.

Well, it was not surprising anymore. After all, this press conference was all about her.

"Mr. Luo, can we start now?" one reporter asked.

Of course, Eddie couldn't wait any longer.

He picked up the microphone from the table, tingling with excitement.

"Well, the Luo family is honored that Ansley has come back. I promise that I will do my best to protect her. And it's a blessing that..." Eddie stopped at once.

Ansley couldn't stand it anymore. What nonsense was he talking about? So she kicked him to shut him up.

"Um... In short, everyone in the Luo family welcomes Ansley!"

Seeing that Ansley rolled her eyes, Eddie hurriedly ended his speech.

Ansley was speechless. How embarrassing!

The reporters then started to take photos of the Luo family from various angles.

However, they felt an inexplicable sense of strangeness.

Andres seemed unhappy.

But whether he was happy or not, the reporters went home with a rewarding experience today. Besides, they got first-hand information and photos. They were motivated to work hard this time and perform well in their jobs.

Besides, Ansley was so beautiful that she could even outshine the stars in the entertainment industry.

After the press conference, Andres, Cecilia, and Everly left first. Then Ansley and Eddie rode the same car home.

"Ma'am, I thought you weren't coming today," Eddie said in an aggrieved tone.

Actually, if Ashley had known it would be so embarrassing, she wouldn't have come.

"Well, I came, so you must have felt relieved. By the way, how much do you know about the Yan Group?"

Eddie was stunned. He didn't expect that she had already started to make a move.

Since they were about to talk about a serious matter, the look on his face changed.

"The Yan Group is owned by the Yan family. It is now under the management of the third son of the Yan family, Wilson Yan. He is a ruthless person and quite capable at such a young age." If not for the stern look on Eddie's face, Ansley would think that he was praising Wilson.

"The Yan family?" It seemed that her feelings were right at that time.

'Didn't she know that Yan Group is owned by the Yan family?' Eddie asked inwardly.

"Ma'am, how did you know about the Yan Group?"

"I went there to have a look today," Ansley replied calmly.

Eddie was so shocked that he was about to spit out blood.

'What? She went to Yan Group and had a look?' he thought to himself.

He was worried at first. But when he thought of her identity, he was instantly relieved. No one would dare to do such a thing, but she was an exception. Besides, she was so mysterious that he couldn't even tell how old she was now.

"Did you find anything?"

"Well, Wilson is very good-looking." When Ansley thought of Wilson's handsome face, she felt better.

But Eddie couldn't continue the conversation anymore. He even had an impulse to jump out of the car.

Breaking out in a cold sweat, he tried his best to persuade her, "Ma'am, there are many outstanding men in the Yan family. If you want to marry into this family, you have many choices such as..."

"I only want Wilson," Ansley interrupted.

From beginning to end, she only talked about the most unapproachable person in the Yan family.

Eddie felt that he was really screwed this time.

"Ma'am, is it love at first sight?" he asked with fear.

"Yes." Actually, Ansley had been in love with Wilson a long time ago. She fell in love with him tens of thousands of years ago.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid that this matter is a bit difficult." Eddie knew that the probability of Ansley marrying Wilson was very low.

After all, everyone in Imperial City knew that he was gay. In fact, his father had forced him to get married a lot of times but never succeeded. So it was almost impossible that Ansley could marry Wilson.

Ansley rested her chin in her hand and said lazily, "Why is it difficult?"

If she was left with no choice, she would force Wilson to marry her.

"Is it against the law to forcibly take a man away?" she asked seriously.

This question made Eddie speechless.
