100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Thirty-Eight…

~~*****~~

The Dragon Lord arrived at Country M. He also brought Jack with him. Spade was still undergoing recovery because of the gunshot wounds he had received.

Though Spade's condition was already stable, he was still admitted to the hospital for complete rest. Jack was also secretly investigating who the traitor was.

But his investigation was interrupted when he received an order from the Dragon Lord that he should accompany him to Country M.

The Dragon Lord had set his eyes on his target– Abigail Scarlet.

"All the preparation is set. Do you want to meet her before the Star Gala Night?" Jack asked his Boss.

"I sent a man to monitor her. He is tailing her right now. She has a bodyguard with her. She went to the CEO's villa to visit her manager and personal assistant." Jack informed the Dragon Lord.

"Why is it that her assistant and manager are staying in one of the villas of Star Corp Entertainment?" The Dragon Lord frowned in puzzlement. "Does she have an illicit relationship with an engaged man?"

The Dragon Lord met Richard Chang twice. He was aware that this man was engaged to Nadia Patel, the heiress of the Patel Conglomerates.

"That was just a rumor. But no one confirmed their relationship. Richard Chang claims that Abigail Scarlett is born to be a superstar so he is backing her based on her talents and skills as an actress."

Jack picked up a folder, presenting a file related to people close to Abigail Scarlett. One of the files contained information about Richard and Nadia.

"The two are going strong despite the rumors about Abigail and Richard. So the issue might be false. Some are just using it to defame the actress and ruin her booming career."

Jack already informed the Dragon Lord about Abigail's scandal– her suicide attempt. After that, he managed to collect more information related to Abigail Scarlett.

"Something is fishy about her…"The Dragon Lord mumbled, his eyes fixed on the files. He was assessing Abigail's photo.

"She doesn't look like the woman who fell from the 13th floor. I can't believe that she didn't even receive any major injuries or fractures." The Dragon Lord was puzzled by this phenomenon. "I wonder what kind of trick she pulled off. And she even managed to Nathan's attention."

Jack nodded his head in agreement. "My lord, do you wanna meet her… today?"

A light gleam flashed through the Dragon Lord's eyes and his lips curled up into a mischievous smirk.

"Fine. Let's go. Let me see her in person." The Dragon Lord grabbed his coat and put the folder down on his table. Jack immediately followed him. The Dragon Lord planned on watching her from afar.

Meanwhile, Abigail had been visiting Ana and Santra. They were helping her to familiarize their colleagues, rivals, producers, directors, possible investors, and the management team of Star Corp Entertainment. They have a compilation of VIPs who would attend the Star Gala Night.

Santra and Ana were assisting Abigail with the preparation. Star Gala Night would be Abigail's comeback. She would finally show up to the public after disappearing for a month.

"Miss Abi, do you want to go shopping? Let's visit Celeste's Boutique. She prepared more dresses for you." Santra suggested cheerfully. "We are already looking forward to your comeback. You might attend shows and reporters will keep bugging you about your suicide scandal. You will be the talk of the entertainment world."

Abigail bit her lower lip. That was something she wasn't looking forward to. Being the talk of the Entertainment World would give her some headache.

"Yes, Abi. I think we have to prepare your dresses for your future shows and guesting!" Ana, her manager, supported Santra's suggestion.

Abigail could no longer refuse the two who seemed more excited than her. With Abigail's approval, the three women headed out to the mall where Celeste's Boutique was located. The three left Richard's Villa not knowing that someone was tailing them.

Twenty minutes later, Abigail, Santra, and Ana reached their destination. Abigail was about to enter the mall when she asked her bodyguard to stay behind. She felt uncomfortable since the bodyguard had been following her around.

Abigail was talking to her bodyguard when she saw a glimpse of someone, looking in her direction. She met the man's gaze but he immediately looked away. He turned around to avoid suspicion from Abigail.

'Who is that guy? Is he following us?' Abigail's hunch has been activated. She watched the guy's back who was walking in a different direction.

"Follow that man. And find out his identity," Abigail ordered her bodyguard. She found a valid reason to send her bodyguard away. "I feel that he is following us. He looks suspicious!"

The bodyguard immediately bobbed his head and followed her line of sight. He also saw the man walking away from the distance. Abigail made sure to describe the man's clothing since she failed to recognize his face. He was wearing a mask and a cap.

"Got it, Miss Abi. Just call me right away if you need me." The bodyguard left instantly to follow the guy.

Abigail heaved a sigh of relief. She had nothing to worry about. She was aware that Nathan was using the bodyguard to monitor her every movement. Nathan was spying on her through her bodyguard.

"Abi!!! Why are you still standing there? Let's go!" Ana called her attention. Santra and Ana were already inside, waiting for her.

"Yes. I'm coming!"

Ana grabbed Abigail's hand, pulling her toward Celeste's boutique. Celeste's assistant welcomed them warmly when they entered the boutique. She was familiar with Santra and Ana, but she failed to recognize Abigail since she was wearing a disguise. She was still careful not to be spotted in public places by her fans.

"Welcome Ma'am, Miss Celeste is in her office. She has a meeting with someone. But they are about to finish so you can stay in our lounge area or look around while waiting for Miss Celeste," the assistant guided them inside.

"By the way, did your customer from AMB Diamond Corporation come here to visit?" Ana asked the assistant. They could still remember the handsome man whom they bumped into before. Santra and Ana both had a crush on him. Unfortunately, they didn't get his name.

"Actually, the person inside is also from AMB Diamond Corporation. They are offering a project to our Miss Celeste. It's a collaboration project!" The assistant informed them.

Abigail's eyebrows twitched as soon as she heard AMB Diamond Corporation. She was reminded of Helena Carlsen, the daughter of the Chairman of AMB Diamond Corporation. She was the woman who was about to steal Nathan from her.

'Don't tell me… the person who has a meeting with Celeste is none other than Helena Carlsen?' Abigail crumpled her face and tightened her fingers into fists.

Without a second thought, Abigail moved forward, tracing her steps toward Celeste's office.

Ana and Santra exchanged glances with one another. "What is she planning to do? The meeting is still ongoing. It will be rude to barge in!" Santra blurted out in puzzlement.

"Eh… I don't think she will barge in to interrupt the-," Ana stopped midway as soon as she saw Abigail turning the doorknob and pushing the door open without knocking.

Santra: "Uh-oh!"

Ana: "..."
