The God of Wealth: Her Top Game of Thrones

Chapter 1269 Edwin Arrives

And most importantly—Reginald couldn't contact Tang Tang.

The atmosphere in Reginald's private hospital room was eerily tense.

Only the bodyguards and his lover who came in that day knew what had happened, and Reginald had forced his lover to sign a confidentiality agreement and locked her in the villa.

He had a bad relationship with his lover and family, no close friends, and no job, so Reginald cut off all contact with the outside world and imprisoned him without anyone knowing.

The bodyguards, of course, knew how ruthless Reginald was. If they leaked any information, they would face an unexpected death. Therefore, they all kept their mouths shut.

Even so, Reginald felt a rare sense of utter despair at that moment.

He couldn't accept it, he didn't even dare to think about it... were those videotapes, those videotapes he begged for like a dog, really in the hands of that woman, Nicoletta Newkman?

No…that wasn’t a woman…that was a monster!

Reginald's lips trembled, his breathing became rapid, and without the support of his teeth, his mouth quickly deflated like that of a toothless old man.

He tried to speak, but the next second saliva dripped from his mouth. Reginald's face turned bright red, and he clenched his fists, shouting, "Doctor! Doctor!"

Soon, doctors and nurses came in, and Reginald, who was somewhat agitated, was given a sedative injection and then left.

The bodyguards looked at each other, and after a moment of agitation, they fell silent again.

This has happened many times before, and it's clear that Reginald is still quite traumatized. It's uncertain whether he'll be able to recover before the banquet begins.

“He will definitely continue the banquet,” Tang Tang said lazily. “Otherwise, I would really be disgusted by Reginald, but I have to admit that if he didn’t have the ability, he wouldn’t have reached his current position.”

Reginald has also killed his competitors, the only difference being that he didn't do it himself.

In Tang Tang's view, the physical harm she had the mercenaries inflict on Reginald might not actually have much of an impact on him.

Reginald is currently under immense psychological pressure from the fear that his secrets will be exposed.

He must be under a lot of psychological pressure right now because he's afraid that Tang Tang will release the videotape to the public, making him, Reginald, a laughingstock in the entire industry.

This is something that someone who once stood in a high position and enjoyed countless admirers and compliments would absolutely not accept.

"Besides, he can't contact me now, he must be so anxious that he doesn't want to live anymore."

Tang Tang chuckled, "He should understand my attitude by now... The banquet is the only chance I can force him to see me."

Whether he begs for mercy, curses, or even wants to die with Tang Tang, Reginald must continue the banquet and do everything in his power to maintain his dignity.

……

Tang Tang met Edwin.

The FBI released Edwin the following afternoon and made a full-fledged apology.

Even after being detained by the FBI for a day and a night, Edwin still looked elegant and composed, with only a hint of fatigue in his eyes, which added to his unique charm.

Edwin did not contact Tang Tang that day, but the next day, Tang Tang invited Edwin to visit Lighthouse Hill.

Since Edwin gave Tang Tang the villa in Lighthouse Hill at half price, he has never been back to Lighthouse Hill.

Now that I've come back, I've noticed many differences in this villa.

When Edwin lived in this villa, everything was taken care of by the butler and servants. The lawn was always mowed clean, everything was in perfect order, and it seemed absolutely perfect.

But in reality, there was no trace of life in that villa, making it impossible to tell whether it was a home at all.

But now the villa is completely different. Most of the hardware design is still the same, but the entire courtyard is covered in snow, and there is a very exquisite snowman in it.

It's very big and exquisitely made. The snowman has a round head with two amber buttons for eyes, a mouth drawn with charcoal powder, and branches that are its hands. It's so cute and endearing.

The snowman was also dressed up nicely, wearing a fluffy hat and a red scarf.

There were many footprints on the snow around the snowman, which looked like cat and dog paws, indicating that its owner also kept other small animals.

Edwin had no regrets about leaving the villa, especially since it was now inhabited by someone he loved.

He looked at the changes in the courtyard with a mixture of longing and curiosity.

To Edwin's surprise, it wasn't Tang Xiao, the butler who often accompanied Tang Tang, who opened the door, but another unfamiliar man.

Edwin's eyes rippled slightly as he looked at the man standing by the door, his gaze finally settling on the man's iron-gray eyes, which were a shade lighter than his own.

At that moment, King, who opened the door, also showed a hint of surprise on his face.

He looked into Edwin's silver-grey eyes, a hint of inquiry appearing on his face, but he quickly looked away.

King nodded to Edwin, then said politely and calmly, "Professor Edwin Sterling? Welcome."

Edwin saw the man turn around and said to those behind him, "Nikolaita, your guest has arrived."

Soon, Edwin heard footsteps, and then saw the girl he hadn't seen in a long time peek out, then give him a bright smile, "Edwin!"

……

Here, green tea.

Tang Tang didn't ask Edwin what he wanted to drink, but instead gestured for Tang Xiao to hand him the tea that had already been brewed.

Edwin looked at the still-steaming, clear tea and couldn't help but chuckle. He then said, "This seems to be the same kind of green tea you gave me back then."

"That's right~"

Tang Tang seemed to laugh at the coincidence as well.

She didn't know Edwin at that time.

At that time, Edwin was the host and Tang Tang was the guest, and they drank black tea brewed by Edwin.

At this very moment, in the same place and in the same scene, the two have completely switched identities.

The tea I'm drinking right now is also green tea brewed by Tang Tang.

Moreover, their identities are now completely different.

Neither of them seemed in a hurry to get down to business; they simply poured and sipped their tea slowly.

Edwin looked at Tang Tang with a hint of apology in his eyes, "I'm sorry that the FBI matter affected you this time, Nikolaya."

Although the other side was actually targeting Tang Tang, Edwin believed that it was just an excuse.

Tang Tang shook her head directly, "No, it has nothing to do with you, there's no need for it, Edwin. If they want to deal with me, then the excuse will be someone else if not you."

She shrugged, somewhat nonchalantly, and said, "If we really had to say, it's hard to tell who dragged whom down with us."

It's fair to say that the other party is shameless, targeting one person at a time.
