Oops My Toyboy Is A Hidden Tycoon

Luke kept scrutinizing the photos, checking them repeatedly. They were exactly as Shirley described, without a single flaw. Clearly, she’d long harbored thoughts of killing Cynthia, evidenced by such careful preparation.

“But the Yates family is a prestigious one in Roncrity. How could possibly have the privilege of attending their wedding?” Luke said.

Shirley pulled an invitation card out of her pocket and said, “The reception will be held in the banquet hall on the top floor of the Caesar Hotel. Just bring this invitation to get in. Cynthia is the bridesmaid, so she’ll be easy to spot.

“Make sure to take her out with a single shot. I’ve already arranged for a hacker to access the hotel’s surveillance system, so no cameras will catch you.

“I’ve also bribed some hotel staff–after you act, they’ll cut the power, giving you enough time to escape. Once you’re out, a van will be waiting to drive you directly to the airport.”

Everything seemed meticulously planned, flawless even. The 16 million dollars and Damianus loomed like a fatal lure.

But Luke still had doubts. “What if I don’t manage to escape? Or get caught on the spot?”

The wedding of the Yates family would definitely be heavily guarded. Killing Cynthia couldn’t be as simple as Shirley made it sound. If things went south and he got caught, it could cost him his entire future.

irley reassured him, “If you’re really caught or can’t get away, use me as a hostage. I’ll cooperate with you to escape. That way, nothing can go wrong.”

Luke thought for a long while and finally agreed. “Shirley, I’ll help you get rid of Cynthia, but you have to keep your promise. If I get caught, I will expose you, and you’ll be spending the rest of your life in prison too.”

Seeing her plan succeed, Shirley said with a smile, “Don’t worry. This benefits both of us. I won’t let you get caught.” Today was the Yates family’s wedding day, but nobody looked particularly joyful.

Pamela, who usually paid great attention to appearance, hadn’t even bothered to order a new dress; she was wearing the same one from three years ago at Cynthia and Filip’s wedding.

There were supposed to be a lot of ceremonial activities in the daytime, but most of them were kept simple. In the afternoon, they went to the Caesar Hotel.

The reception was held in the banquet hall on the hotel’s top floor, beautifully decorated with a dreamy ambiance. At the center of the stage stood a giant sycamore tree centerpiece, surrounded by an abundance of moonflowers.

The scene was personally designed by Lilian. The moonflowers reminded her of her childhood. Back then, although her home was rather shabby, the walls were covered with beautiful moonflowers.

They were delicate but grew steadily, inch by inch, reaching beyond the walls to catch more sunlight. What started as a small, unremarkable cluster eventually covered the entire wall, blooming vibrantly under the sun.

As a child, Lilian believed she had to be like those moonflowers, Even if her strength was small, even if she lived among the rubble, she had to keep pushing forward, striving to escape the cage

that confined her.

Lilian knew Cynthia’s favorite tree was the sycamore tree. Looking at the entwined moonflowers blooming against the tree, tightly bound as if they belonged together, she smiled. She’d waited a long time for this day.

By five in the evening, guests had started arriving. At almost nine months pregnant, Lilian couldn’t stand for too long, so she didn’t greet guests at the door. Filip didn’t either.

24 Sun, Nov

He had no desire to host this wedding, yet Lilian insisted on making it grand and public for everyone to know. Filip couldn’t understand her motives.

But, either way, he only had two more months to endure. Once Lilian delivered the baby, he planned to divorce her, give hera

generous sum, and send her abroad. In his mind, that was more than fair.

Lilian sat in the dressing room, studying her reflection in the mirror. She was dressed in a pristine white gown and wore a white bridal veil. It was exactly how she had always dreamed.

The secret in her heart was something the world would never understand, something she could never reveal. Yet, her dream was to stand openly beside her. This was the only way. A wave of joy filled Lilian’s heart.

Filip entered just in time to catch the faint smile on Lilian’s face and her entranced expression.

With a sarcastic tone, he said, “Lilian, what filthy schemes are you dreaming up now? Do you dare lay bare your twisted thoughts for everyone to see? To say them out loud? You’re nothing but a monster!”

Lilian’s face darkened, but she quickly composed herself and gave a gentle smile. “Filip, are you jealous?”

Filip found her words ridiculous and replied, “Jealous? Lilian, you’re dreaming. Right now, you mean nothing to me. I just want you to give birth to my child and get out of my life. I never want to see your face again.”

Despite his words, Filip felt a twinge of disappointment and even a flicker of hatred.

“He couldn’t pinpoint exactly what he resented; whether it was that Lilian had ruined his life, her manipulation and deceit, or

haps the fact that she had never truly loved him.

Lilian gently stroked her swollen belly and said, “No matter what, you’re the father of our child. No matter what our relationship is in the future or whether we ever meet again, I will never forget you.”

Filip sneered, “It’s my child, not yours. You’re so twisted, Lilian. You’ll reap what you’ve sown.“.

Lilian chuckled dismissively. “If that’s my fate, so be it. I accept it willingly.”

The two couldn’t agree on a single thing. Filip had grown to despise Lilian to the core, yet underneath it all, he felt lingering resentment and sadness. After all, he had once given her his heart.

Filip couldn’t bear to look at her face anymore, so he turned to leave. But Lilian called out, “Wait.”

Filip turned around. “What is it now?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“I promised you that once the baby is born, I’ll disappear from your life completely. But you also agreed to grant me two requests.”

Filip replied impatiently, “Yes, and I already gave you what you wanted–a grand wedding for all to see.”

“There’s still the second request.”

“What is it?”

Lilian took something out from the drawer of the dressing table As soon as over and snatched it from her.

Filip saw it, his expression changed. He strode

He was bursting with anger as he asked, “Lilian, what do you intend to do? Haven’t you already caused enough trouble for

me?”
