The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 130
“Director Hayes, you say.”
Phil turned the business card he’d received from Lloyd over in his hands. The gold border on the card was striking.
“Yes. I mainly handle railway-related matters.”
Inside, Phil cheered. The railway business held considerable weight within Hayes Corporation—which meant the man before him was undoubtedly wealthy.
“But what brings you to me, exactly?”
“I have a question.”
Lloyd didn’t beat around the bush. Partly because he wasn’t adept at politics, and partly because his nature was straightforward and determined.
“A question, you say… What could Director Hayes possibly want to ask me? I have no connection to Hayes Corporation.”
Phil remained calm. He was skilled and seasoned in dealing with people.
“I know. You have absolutely no ties to Hayes Corporation. But it’s different when it comes to Hastings.”
Phil pressed firmly at the corners of his mouth, deepening his smile.
Why on earth would Hastings come up now? The man’s profession, appearance, and name—no matter how hard he looked, Phil couldn’t find any link to Hastings.
‘I should’ve researched the Hastings circle before coming here.’
He found himself repeating the same regret he’d felt several times since meeting Jane. But regret wouldn’t change anything, and even if time rewound, he wouldn’t have had the money to conduct such research anyway.
‘I’ll just have to figure it out myself.’
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
