Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

The car left Jinston and hit the highway. After a four–hour drive, they reached the resort in Gioriham. By noon, the car pulled up outside the resort. The resort boasted a vast expanse of meticulously landscaped grounds.

Fountains and swimming pools were artfully arranged amidst blooming flowers, with mountains, water features, and woods blending in perfect harmony. The entire place radiated refined elegance.

Zinnia and Maisie got out of the car first, while Nathan and Emily followed to help with their luggage.

“Ms. Jenkins, Ms. Moore, please come inside. Lunch is ready for you.” The resort manager came out to greet them, leading a team of staff members.

“You don’t need to follow us. Go prepare our rooms.” Maisie turned to look at Nathan, Emily, and Stephen.

“Understood,” the three replied in unison.

A staff member then escorted them to their rooms. A man, blending in with the staff crowd, narrowed his eyes as he fixed his gaze on the person in the middle of the trio. Instinctively, he started to follow.
