Chapter 333: Raylee Gets Jealous Again

Raylee continued to watch Mindy writhing in agony for a moment longer before finally turning and leaving. Four years ago, Mindy had accused her of stealing a necklace, providing false testimony that landed her in prison. The cunning and ruthless woman had finally received her retribution, her face disfigured by sulfuric acid. However, this was far from enough to quench Raylee’s thirst for revenge. Compared to the torment she had endured in prison for the past four years, what Mindy suffered was child's play. Raylee clenched her fists tightly, a menacing glint surfacing in her eyes. She would never let any of those who wronged her off the hook, be it Mindy, Waverly, or any member of the Goodridge family.

By the time she returned to Royal Court, it was already the dead of night. However, the masked man was still in a meeting. Lately, he had developed a habit of initiating video conferences in the middle of the night. Is he really that busy? Is it really a business meeting, or is there another agenda? Raylee was eavesdropping by the study room’s door. At that moment, the masked man had just removed his Bluetooth earpiece, so the sound was now emanating from the computer’s speakers.

“Leo, Maximus will be showing up at any given moment lately. You need to be careful and protect yourself.”

The woman’s voice stirred up a wave of memories within Raylee. A while back, the masked man had traveled to East Aploth. The woman who called him “Leo” over the phone was indeed the bearer of this gentle voice. Are they keeping in touch every day? What’s the nature of their relationship? When she asked the masked man to take care of himself, her voice was gentle and caring, just like that of a lover’s!

“Angela, notify me immediately if you have any further news about Maximus. That’s it for today; I’m going to rest now.”

After ending the video call, the masked man leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and massaged his forehead with a weary sigh. So, this woman’s name is Angela. She must be quite capable if he has such deep trust and reliance on her! At the very least, she’s probably a capable assistant at work! Raylee knew she shouldn’t be feeling this unjustified jealousy. She quietly entered the study and, from behind, began to massage the masked man’s head.

“Why are you home so late? What have you been up to?” the masked man asked softly.

As she massaged him with her delicate hands, Raylee vented her frustrations, saying, “Don’t you already know everything I was doing? Plumpy is not just a bodyguard you planted by my side, but also your spy that keeps tabs on me, isn’t she?”

The masked man let out a wry chuckle. “How could you call it spying? I was just worried about you.”

Raylee wrapped her arms around the neck of the masked man, her gaze fixated on his cold mask as she said coquettishly, “Her current predicament is a hundred times more agonizing than being thrown to the fishes. The feeling of getting my revenge is exhilarating, Leonardo. I wish to do so on my own.”

“Suit yourself, then. It’s late; go take a bath. I’ll hold you while we sleep,” the masked man said, giving her small nose a playful pinch.

After a moment of hesitation, Raylee still couldn’t help but ask, “You’ve been having video conferences late at night recently. Are you discussing business matters? Who is Angela? And who is Maximus? Could you tell me about them? I want to know more about you.”

The masked man replied jokingly, “Why the sudden interest in gossip? Angela was my ex-girlfriend, and Maximus is her current boyfriend.”

The air was filled with silence for quite some time. Furious, Raylee abruptly let go of the masked man and stormed out of the study.

Wow… He doesn’t even bother to hide it anymore! So, he was contacting his ex-girlfriend in the middle of the night, and even sought clues about her current boyfriend! What stunt is he trying to pull? A love triangle, or perhaps even a love square?

By the time the masked man gave chase, Raylee had already locked the room door. Her voice, filled with irritation, echoed from inside. “Go sleep with your ex-girlfriend! Don’t come looking for me!”

The masked man was filled with helplessness. It was just a joke! Couldn’t she tell? Well, Angela and I did indeed have some history together… The masked man furrowed his brows deeply as memories involuntarily began to surface in his mind.

After knocking on the door several times without any response from Raylee, the masked man had no choice but to head down to the living room. He needed to give some instructions to Plumpy.

“What? The scumbags from WC are planning to make a move soon?” Plumpy immediately started cracking her knuckles. “Great! The adversary I’ve been eagerly waiting for has finally shown up! Boss, just you watch as I help you take them down!”
