Chapter 6: Her Image Is Downright Worse

Meanwhile, in a private room at one of the luxurious restaurants in the Imperial city...

Achoo! Achoo!

"Seems like someone is cursing you, Justin," said the platinum blond man sitting opposite him at the dining table. "Definitely a woman."

Rowan Lawson, Justin's close friend and the son of the influential Lawson family, was known for his wit and charm. The Lawsons were among the four most powerful families in the Imperial city. Rowan and Justin had studied abroad together, but unlike Justin, Rowan had returned home to manage the family business.

Justin had come to the Imperial city on a mission for his grandmother—to find a woman.

Ignoring Rowan's comment, Justin focused on the file in his hands. With his sharp features and dashing good looks, Justin exuded an undeniable air of nobility and elegance. He closed the file and handed it to his attentive assistant, Noah, who stood beside him.

"Get me every possible piece of information about her as soon as possible," Justin ordered.

Noah accepted the file. "Yes, Mr. Harper."

"Her?" Rowan exclaimed, his curiosity piqued. "Who is this 'her'?"

Justin turned to him, his gaze intense. "You live in this city, so you must know about the daughter of the Ford family, Natalie Ford. Tell me whatever you know about her."

"What's gotten into you to take an interest in a woman like her?" Rowan's expression clearly showed his disdain for Natalie.

Justin raised a brow. "What do you mean by a woman like her?"

"Don't you read the news? See for yourself," Rowan spoke impatiently, as if the topic was beneath him. "If you're interested in her in any way, forget it! She's a troublemaker!"
