Time rewinds fifteen minutes.
Bai Yi was casually slacking off and went downstairs to buy afternoon tea.
Although she was bound to Mu An in the Tianmu Group as a 'laborer', her actual work was quite easy, and she had a lot of free time.
Usually, no one dared to invade the Tianmu Group's system.
Even if someone did, with her super hacking skills, she could easily handle it without taking much time.
With little work and high pay, her monthly salary started at 100,000.
For many people, this was simply a dream job!
"What kind of milk tea should I drink today? I'll go with taro bubble ice!"
"I heard a new pizza place opened next door, and it seems to have many flavors. Which one should I try this time?"
"Forget it, I'm an adult now, so naturally, I choose them all!"
"La la la, hum hum, doo doo—"
Bai Yi was happily humming an unknown tune.
As a result, she unexpectedly encountered a "familiar face"!
"Ashiel Gifford? What are you doing here?"
A well-dressed man with blonde hair looked somewhat surprised.
Hearing her name, the girl in white paused in her steps.
But upon seeing the newcomer, all her good mood was instantly shattered!
Ashiel Gifford was the name her family had given her, but she didn't like it at all.
She preferred the name she had during her time in the orphanage, Bai Yi (White Clothes).
"Broly Henry, what are you doing here?"
"With the stingy nature of your Henry family, you should be hoarding a pile of money and laughing foolishly right now!"
Bai Yi placed her hands on her hips and snorted coldly, not giving him a good look.
"Hehe, I wonder how the Gifford family will react when they find out their marriage candidate has escaped here?"
"Maybe the next day you'll find yourself tied to my bed!"
Broly smiled slightly.
Looking at the girl's stunning beauty and figure, his eyes held a hint of possessiveness and greed.
As for who the marriage candidate was?
That would naturally be him, the eldest son of the Henry family!
And although it was called a marriage alliance, it could actually be said that Bai Yi's family was simply trying to curry favor, using a grand excuse to send him a woman!
"Pah! That was decided by them without asking for my opinion."
"If you want a marriage alliance, go find them. I already have a boyfriend!"
Bai Yi scoffed.
After all, she was just a victim of the family marriage, with no happiness to speak of.
The thought of marrying and having children with a man she didn't know at all made her skin crawl.
And this was one of the reasons she had fled her family at all costs.
Even without her family, she could thrive on her powerful hacking skills.
Clearly, she was just a lowly illegitimate daughter abandoned outside.
Just because she had the blood of the Gifford family flowing through her veins, she was to be treated as a sacrificial pawn for a marriage alliance?
Hehe, whoever wants to be the marriage candidate can do so; she definitely did not want to!
"Boyfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Broly's originally gentle expression darkened slightly.
After seeing the girl's true beauty, he had already marked her as his exclusive possession.
Such a "delicacy" could only be savored by him!
Moreover, she was one of his nominal "women."
Even if he didn't intend to keep her, she was not something just anyone could have!
"Who is he? Hehe, no matter who he is, I will make him regret coming into this world."
"Daring to steal my woman, Broly Henry, he has signed his own death warrant!"
Broly snorted coldly.
As the heir of a top family for many years, he had long learned a powerful skill.
That was "bullying others with power"!
He was rich and powerful; ordinary people were like ants in his eyes, easily crushed.
"Hmph! My boyfriend? If I tell you his name, it might scare you to death!"
Bai Yi's eyes twinkled.
The boyfriend thing was just a ruse to make him back off, but her quirky personality suddenly thought of someone.
Although strictly speaking, Mu An couldn't be considered her boyfriend, that didn't stop her from using him as a temporary shield!
After all, that guy always liked to bully her!
"Hehe, go ahead and say it. I want to see how impressive your boyfriend is!"
Broly couldn't help but chuckle.
He himself came from a powerful super family.
In other words, there were not many people in the world who could scare him!
"Then listen carefully!"
Bai Yi cleared her throat, crossed her arms, and said seriously.
"My boyfriend's name is Mu An, and he is the sole heir of the Mu family's Tianmu Group!"
"He can easily destroy you and your pathetic family! So, are you scared?!"
The girl proudly raised her head.
After all, it was all a lie; she just exaggerated it.
"The sole heir of the Tianmu Group?"
Broly couldn't help but frown.
The reason he was here today was to plot against the Tianmu Group.
To be precise, he wanted to scheme against the current head of the Tianmu Group—Mu Wanrou.
As long as he could take her down, it would be a huge blessing for him and the Henry family!
And in reality, there was indeed a sole heir of the Tianmu Group, and that person's name seemed to be... Mu An?
"You say so, so it must be true? Do you think I would believe that?"
Broly did not easily believe her words.
People who played with power were not fools, including himself; anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't believe such baseless claims!
"Don't believe it, huh? Fine, just wait for me!"
At this moment, Bai Yi was already having second thoughts.
For example, she could take the opportunity of making a phone call to escape...
But it seemed Broly saw through her little trick and warned her lightly.
"Don't think about escaping; otherwise, I can't guarantee what crazy actions your family might take!"
Bai Yi's movements to leave froze, and she instinctively retorted.
"Hehe, whoever runs is a little dog. Just wait and see how I bring my boyfriend over to slap your face hard!"
"Alright, I also want to see how he slaps my face!"
Broly was not worried at all.
In fact, he was already calculating how to deal with this young man named "Mu An."
He didn't really believe that the boyfriend Bai Yi mentioned was the sole heir of the Tianmu Group.
After all.
How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Even if it were true, there was no need to panic.
The family behind him was also a top power that could rival the Mu family; in the end, who would kill whom was still uncertain!
At this moment, Bai Yi had already dashed to the side.
She held up her phone, hesitated for a moment, and still called Mu An.
Now that she had already boasted, it was like an arrow on the string that had to be released.
Now Bai Yi could only hope that he would come to support her because of his "private property."
But then, the call ended +1, ended +2... ended +5!
Wait, why was he hanging up on her calls like crazy?!
Bai Yi was dumbfounded.
Bai Yi gritted her teeth.
Bai Yi was furious.
Her mindset was in a panic +999!
Oh no! Not at a critical moment like this!
