Seeing the genuine sparkle in her eyes and the way her lips curved into a smile, which didn’t seem the least bit forced, Emyr’s expression darkened instantly.

As always, Emyr remained aloof and arrogant, his tone filled with disdain. “Don’t kid yourself.”

Charmaine wasn’t fazed by his harsh words. Once she confirmed that Emyr had no special feelings for her. she felt a wave of relief.

“You’re right. How could a mere maid like me even dream of catching the eye of someone at the top of the pyramid?”

Even Master Field was shocked, wondering who could be so unlucky to lose that much money, haha. If that scammer had pulled it off, he could’ve retired comfortably. But he ran into you instead.”
