Sadie gritted her teeth, “This woman is truly ruthless.”
Natasha pressed her lips together.
In fact, at this moment, she felt calmer than she had imagined.

Roderick might have been the beginning of her and Lucas’s separation, but the final outcome was not solely due to him.
Lucas may have cared for Olivia at first because of guilt, family, or public pressure, but as he kept choosing her over Natasha, he started to secretly enjoy their risky relationship.
Moreover, after being with Alexei, she gained a clearer understanding of what genuine favoritism looked like.
If someone tried to use saving Alexei’s life as leverage, he might easily grant them typical power and wealth. However, if they became too greedy, they would receive nothing. And if they demanded that he repay the favor by harming Natasha, Alexei would instantly see them as a threat to her. No matter how much they may have deserved repayment, he would send them to their doom.
Natasha would not dwell on what their destinies would have been if Roderick hadn’t been
involved.
Coming here to find the truth was just to give her past self some closure.
‘We’ll go meet him tonight.”
Upon hearing this, Sadie’s face showed obvious eagerness. “How do you mean? Should we
ake the fight to his home?”
She then reconsidered. “But his residence is hard to find, and I don’t know where he’s lurking today.”
Natasha shook her head. “No need. We can simply wait for him to come to us.”
She sent a message to the bodyguards Alexei had assigned. Gazing at the unfamiliar streets speeding past outside the car window, she smiled faintly.
That evening, the two of them dressed nicely and headed out in their most luxurious car.
Following the address received on her phone, Natasha navigated to and pulled up at a well-

known high–end bar in the city.

As her high heels touched the ground, the sight of the luxurious car and the beautiful woman instantly attracted considerable attention.
Many foreign men wanted to approach them and strike up a conversation.
Unfortunately, the beauties maintained a cold demeanor, evidently uninterested in exotic flings, and only slightly softened their expressions for a few local faces.
Quite a few people inwardly lamented.
However, those who frequent this place were generally tasteful and wouldn’t shamelessly pester them.
Natasha and Sadie successfully took a seat at a booth with their backs to the entrance
corridor.
After sitting for a while and listening to the bar’s resident band performance, Natasha picked up her vibrating phone and gave Sadie a meaningful look.
Sadie reached out and called the waiter, “Change a private room for us.”

Roderick felt particularly unlucky recently.
Olivia, who was back home, lost contact for some reason. The Watson family was expelled from Andphis City, and Roderick couldn’t find out anything. Then, for some reason, the rich woman he had finally managed to cling to dumped him before he even got her.
Actually, given his appearance and abilities, it wouldn’t be impossible to find a decent job abroad and earn money.
He did indeed keep a job that seemed somewhat respectable, but after experiencing sudden windfalls, that small salary was no longer appealing.
He kept it merely to maintain appearances and better hook big, valuable targets.
Gigolos also had their circles. He hadn’t been wasting his time in Nornytaar all these years, knowing all sorts of people.
As he woke up in a hotel bed, he was anxious about his dwindling bank balance and uncertain where to find a target for the night. Then, he noticed a message in a small group
chat.

[East Bank Bar has two stunning beauties. From their attire, they look like rich young ladies. Unfortunately, they don’t like handsome men, so a few of you can try your luck.]
Then he tagged a few group members, and Roderick was indeed among them.
[Any photos?]
[No. This bar doesn’t allow candid photography, and what if I upset the wealthy woman?]
[Booth XX. Everyone’s on their own.]
After a brief chat, Roderick’s eyes lit up. He immediately put on his most expensive clothes, styled his hair, sprayed on perfume, and took a taxi out.
He actually wanted to dress up a bit more, but he couldn’t be too late.
f such a rare young and beautiful wealthy woman were snatched by someone else, he would egret it terribly.
ust after entering and locating the spot mentioned in the group, Roderick only saw the back: of two people being led into a private room by fawning waiters.
That person really didn’t lie to him. Although he couldn’t see their faces, he could tell they were beautiful just from their backs. The bags in their hands must have cost hundreds of housands of dollars.
Roderick’s previously drowsy mind was now wide awake.
It was good to switch rooms. Everyone else would be left empty–handed.
Roderick decided he would have this opportunity all to himself today.
Meeting someone from their own country in a foreign land was always pleasant.
He watched them leave from afar. After confirming the waiter had left, he stood at the private room door, readjusted his collar, ran his hand through his hair, and put on the smile he had practiced countless times.
“Alston, I apologize for being late.” He unlocked the door and pretended to rush into the room anxiously.
However, before he could utter his next line, “Excuse me, I’ve entered the wrong room,” he met eyes with the smiling woman inside.
Roderick’s pupils suddenly narrowed, and his heart skipped a beat.

As he came to his senses and turned to escape, the private room door had already been locked from the outside.
Sadie was still reeling from the shock of discovering this bar was also Alexei’s property, and was pondering which bottle of wine was more expensive to order.
