Chapter 944 - The Murderous Intentions Surfaced Instantly (1/2)
Duke Moville personally escorted Si Yiyan and Wen Xinya out of the mansion while holding onto the serpent cane. He would subconsciously stroke the eyes of the scaled serpent with a cold and menacing look in his gray eyes. They were just as clear as the serpent’s.
His main purpose of holding the banquet was to express his sincerity to Si Yiyan. He then intentionally mentioned the drug business and Si Yiyan’s feud with the Ivanov Family so as to tempt him. He believed that Si Yiyan would definitely not turn him down after hearing the benefits that he could reap.
Although Si Yiyan possessed an extraordinary status in the Russian aristocratic circle, he would often face restrictions which would no longer exist if he were to cooperate with Duke Moville. Lucifer would even gain lots of privileges and advantages by working with him.
Being an aristocrat, Duke Moville was not willing to swallow his pride even though he was willing to cooperate with Si Yiyan.
Hence, that resulted in Wen Xinya teaching Anatoli a lesson.
It also resulted in the conflict between Rex and Duke Moville.
Duke Moville was utterly embarra.s.sed by Wen Xinya and yet, he still lost the battle. Hence, he decided to let Avrora marry Si Yiyan so that he could acquire more power.
However, he did not expect that Rex would turn him down.
They even almost fell out with each other because of the matter.
On the other hand, Avrora had also failed in obtaining the matriarchal token and even fell off the horse.
Is this all because of that Miss Bella?
Duke Moville’s face grew sullen. No one can stop me from achieving glory, not even that yellow-skinned Chinese woman.
Murderous intentions formed in his gaze as he watched the smoke waft out of the exhaust pipes of Si Yiyan’s car as it began driving away slowly.
Duke Moville turned around and headed back to the study.
As soon as he entered the study, he felt that something was amiss and a menacing gaze formed in his eyes. He slowly approached the desk and stared at the Russian flag, the sculpture of Catherine the Great as well as the doc.u.ments, all of which were in the same place!
However…
He s.h.i.+fted his gaze onto the drawer below the desk which was closed when he left. Yet, there was now a tiny crack.
Someone must have entered his study and touched something in his drawer.
An austere expression formed on his face as he opened the drawer to stare at the black sandalwood box, on which there was a carved scaled serpent. It was coated in gray flint that made it look cold and daunting.
As soon as he opened the box, he was greeted with the sight of a square serpent-shaped stamp. Not frightened by the terrifying demeanor of the snake, he grabbed the stamp, only to realize that it was still moist.
At this moment, the door was pushed open and Duke Mo entered together with Anatoli. “Duke Moville, bad news. Miss Avrora took the Moville Family’s official transferral doc.u.ment and sealed it on her own for the sake of competing with that Miss Bella.”
