Chapter 252
Fade took a step forward and took Klaude's hand first. He patted him on the shoulders and greeted him
politely, "Hello!" While talking and laughing, he deliberately moved his face closer to Klaude's as though
ready to give him a greeting kiss. Klaude took a step back and quickly rejected. Then, he reached out
his arm and welcomed Fade and Quin into the venue with a smile on his face. The minute they walked
in, the smile on his face quickly disappeared. His skin on his right hand had turned an abnormal shade
of red. He bent down and squealed in pain while clasping his swollen hand. A servant quickly came
over and said, "Mr. Klaude, do you need me to call a doctor?" Klaude shook his head and said,
"There's no need. Watch out for Fade Chen and Quin Lin. I don't want to drag the Life Elixir Wine
project for too long." "Understood. I'll act according to plan," the servant said as he left the room.
Klaude turned and watched coldly as Fade and Quin slowly disappeared from his sight. As they walked
into the hall, Quin could not help herself but gently pinch Fade's arm while chastising," Why did you use
so much force while shaking your hand just now? Klaude's hand must be burning with pain now." "No I
didn't, I just used a little strength," Fade tried to give an excuse. Quin sighed but her hands were tied,
so she could only softly remind him, There are a lot of international businessmen at the party today.
Control yourself please and don't do anything stupid." "Yes, dear, I'll definitely keep that in mind." Fade
Chen tipped his head in salutation to Quin, turning the heads of many guests around them. Quin

around. I've run into some friends and I'm going to have a chat with them. Do you want to come
along?" "No, I'll go grab something to eat there." He shook his head in a hurry. He was pretty sure that
whatever his wife was going to talk about was related to business, something he had zero interest in.
Therefore, he escaped as soon as he saw the chance and started enjoying some food aside. From
time to time, he looked at his wife and saw her talking and laughing with the businessmen, seemingly
having a wonderful discussion. Fade was glad since Klaude wasn’t making a move, not even appearing
in front of them. He was relieved. At this moment, the clock struck eight and the lights in the hall were
dimmed. The main stage was lit by a spotlight, and Klaude walked out with a smile. Immediately, the
hall was filled with applause. After giving a short welcoming speech, the banquet officially started. Fade
had no interest in these cumbersome procedures and was ready to hide in a corner to enjoy some
personal time with himself. But just at this moment, he saw a man in his thirties with a pair of gold-
rimmed glasses standing next to Klaude. "Isn’t this Boris Song ? Why is he here?" Fade was shocked
as he recognized the man as Mindy Wu’s ex-husband, Boris Song. Moreover, Boris was accompanied
by a woman about in her early twenties. He was chatting softly with the woman with a broad smile on
his face, even pointing towards the crowd as though he was showing her off proudly. Seeing this, Fade
couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, "Boris Song is really a hypocritical guy. Yesterday, he came
tumbling back to Mindy and even pleaded to start things over with her. Yet, he’s already cheated on her
with other women." Since Mindy was already completely over this guy, Fade was too lazy to bother.
The official start to the banquet left everyone in an even more heated up. Everyone seemed to be a
good mood as they were chatting away politely, some seemingly indoctrinated from the excitement and
already signing contracts to collaborate. Fade remained uninterested as he grabbed a plate of food and
headed towards the balcony. He had preferred to eat by himself whilst enjoying the cool evening
breeze, Just as he was going to dig in he suddenly heard a woman’s voice cry out, "No, don’t let go of
me." towards the sound. "Is there someone who’s already making their move impatiently ?" He
immediately frowned and walked quietly toward the sound. The Western-style balcony was specifically
designed to be large and luxurious, huge stone pillars adorning the sides of the balcony. When Fade
walked past the stone pillar, he could see the whole scene unfold in front of him clearly. A foreigner in
his fifties was betrayed and had forced a petite Chinese woman to a dark corner. At the moment, he
had his big, furry arm out and was trying to grope the poor woman. The woman’s face was full of
anxiety as she desperately tried to break free of the foreigner’s iron grasp. Her effort was of no avail as
he was much stronger and larger than her. He lunged towards her despite her resistance, and she
looked troubled while she cried out, "Let me go, I don’t want this!" "Beauty, it’s okay. If you follow me, I
will give you whatever you want, be it money, jobs, or the green card to the Micovia. I can help you."
The foreigner scootched closer to the woman and tempted her. However, she resisted fiercely and
continued to sob, "No, I don’t want any of those. Mr. Mike, I’m not that kind of woman. Please let me

go, I don’t want this." Seeing as he was about to succeed, the foreigner didn’t let go of the woman and
leaned towards her, one hand slowly reaching for her clothes. The woman was visibly terrified as she
tried to shout for help, "Senior Song, I don’t want this, please ask Mr. Mike to stop. Senior Song, help
me!" It was only then that Fade noticed that this woman was the one who came with Boris Song. Boris
had been standing at the other side of the pillar and silently watching everything. From his angle, he
could obviously see what the foreigner was trying to do, but he made no effort to stop him. Upon
hearing the woman’s desperate cries for help, not only did he not help, instead he tried to persuade her
sneakily, "Willa, don’t you understand? I’m giving you an opportunity! You have to cherish it!" "No,
senior, I don’t want it." The woman continued to cry out. Boris chuckled and said, "Willa, everything’s
fine, you just have to accompany Mr. Mike for a
while. Don’t you know how much authority he has in Micovia ? To be with him like this is a blessing in
disguise for you!" "Beauty, just give in to me. If you do, I’ll give you a job in Micovia and even help you
process the green card documents to live in Micovia permanently." Mike began to tempt her with all
kinds of conditions, However, she continued to resist fiercely and said, "No, I’m not going to Micovia. I
don’t want a green card. I don’t..." Hearing this, Boris was annoyed and snapped, "Willa, don’t be
ungrateful. Mr. Mike is a Micovian, and you should be grateful to be able to sleep with him. Do you
understand?".
