NovelGoldChapter 506 "Marina, Mr. Tempest didn't eat." Marina's confusion only deepened. "Why not? Was he too busy to eat? If he doesn't have time, just leave the lunchbox in his office-he'll eat when he gets a break. Why did you bring it back?" Her assistant looked miserable. "Marina, when I got there, Mr. Tempest was in the middle of eating. But there was a woman in his office with him. She was really beautiful." "What?" Marina shot up from her seat.
"What kind of woman? Was she from The Tempest Group?" "She didn't look like it. She wasn't wearing a staff badge or uniform, and to be honest, she seemed very familiar with both President Tempest and Mr. Tempest." The assistant hesitated, then went on. "Marina, do you think she might be sheiress Mr. Tempest is supposed to marry? You know how these high society families are marriages are all about alliances." Marina clenched her teeth at that.
Ever since she'd deliberately fueled rumors with Orion as a couple, her career in show business had soared. She genuinely liked Orion-not only was he wealthy and strikingly handsome, but more importantly, despite being a young heir, he was known for keeping his private life scandal-free.
All four major heirs in Northcrest City had good reputations.

Unfortunately, the Foster heir was cold and ruthless. He had a reputation for being utterly unapproachable. There was that infamous incident where someone tried to seduce him and even spiked his drink. He went straight to the hospital despite the drug's effects, and afterward, that woman was supposedly shipped off to Africa- no one's heard from her since.
The Pierce and Quinn family heirs, meanwhile, were rumored to be infatuated with the Tempest family's mysterious genius daughter.
Marina knew her own worth-after all, she'd won Best Actress at just twenty-five-but she was realistic: no matter how successful she was, she was still just a celebrity.
But the Tempest family's little princess wasn't just born into privilege; she was a scientific prodigy. Of course the sons of the Pierce and Quinn families would fall for her. How could Marina possibly compete? In the end, the only one left for her to pursue was Orion.
If she could marry him, she'd not only beca society wife but also get a genius sister-in-law. Maybe one day, she could leverage that connection to climb even higher.
Now was a crucial tfor her movie career, and she was counting on Orion's help to land the endorsement deal for the new headset. And now, out of nowhere, stramp had appeared to seduce him.
Orion was so taken with this woman that he didn't even touch the homemade lunch she'd prepared for him.
Marina clenched her fists. That little witch-just you wait.
"Marina, what should we do?"

"What do we do? We find someone to ruin that bitch. If she dares to steal En my man, she's asking for it."
Once Mr. Tempest and his father finished their lunch, Claire didn'tm linger. She grabbed her insulated lunchbox and left the building. But before she could hop on her little scooter, someone clamped a hand over her mouth and dragged her into a van.
Inside, a man pressed a knife to her throat.
"Don't want to die? Then sit still and behave." Claire didn't struggle. She just sat there, calm as ever.
The kidnapper seemed puzzled by her composure. "Aren't you scared?" "Shouldn't you guys be the ones who are scared?" she replied coolly.
He snorted. "We just kidnapped you. What do we have to be afraid of?"
Claire shrugged. "If I'm right, someone hired you, didn't they?m mean, think about it how much must that person hate you to send you after me?"
