The Heiress’s Return: From Zen to Zenith

Chapter 856: 422 Respectful_2

“Teams one and two, guard the twelve exits on the first floor. Team three, go to the basement. Avoid conflict, just say Master McKay has an important matter to discuss.”

After Finnian Moore issued the commands, the people around him swiftly dispersed.

“Master McKay, what’s Linden Sky doing in the Era Building? What’s he up to?”

There was a man standing in casual attire, gazing up at the towering skyscraper in front of him, his eyes slightly narrowed.

He wore a light grey turtleneck sweater, deep blue jeans, a grey plaid wool coat, and a pair of white sneakers. During this chilly winter, the man radiated warmth like a strand of spring sunshine.

His figure was tall and lean, his face cold and beautiful like jade. A strange balance made him incredibly eye-catching.

From afar, his charisma and charm mimicked that of a famous celebrity.

Several female passersby turned to look at him repeatedly, eyes filled with admiration and curiosity.

“Doesn’t that guy look familiar? It’s as if we’ve seen him somewhere.”

“Is he a celebrity? With that face and figure, when did the entertainment industry produce such a handsome man?”

“He’s wearing all limited-edition designer items. Look at his shoes, the GG co-branded model, even if you have money you can’t purchase those. Must be a rich second-generation.”

The girls glanced at each other, seeing the sparks of ambition and fierce pride in their eyes.

But no one had the courage to make the first move. They each examined and tested the waters, their excitement growing.

A woman in a fur coat flicked her curly hair, wore eight-centimeter high heels, and swayed her narrow waist as she walked towards the man.

“Do you think Nana can succeed?”

“Nana is pretty and cunning. She played Mr. Ho like a toy last time. This won’t be a problem for her. A first-class man like him is such a waste.”

It’s such a waste? Everyone understood the unsaid implications.

They all moved in the same circles. Who didn’t know each other’s worth? Let Nana test the waters first, then everyone else could make their move.

As the woman was passing by Agave Rinto, she suddenly shrieked “oh my”, and fell towards him.

Agave Rinto stepped away, just at the right moment. The woman tripped and fell onto the ground, barely missing his back.

A few onlooking girls giggled behind their hands.

That fall was incredibly embarrassing.

Nana had had a hard fall. She believed herself to be attractive, the center of attention wherever she went. She had intended to fall into the man’s arms, a strategy that had never failed before.

She didn’t anticipate that it would backfire.

Nana gritted her teeth and called out in a voice so sweet it was chilling, “Sir~”

Her short plea was filled with delicate coquetry.

Coming to Agave’s side, Finnian Moore glanced at him, gave a little cough, and looked somewhat amused.

This was the first time Master McKay had been approached by a girl. Quite a novelty.

Agave didn’t pause or turn around, he just ordered, “Deal with it.”

With those words, he walked away.

Finnian waved his hand, and a mall security guard walked towards Nana.

“I’m sorry, Miss. Please leave immediately.”

Nana called out stubbornly, “Wait, sir…”

She tried to follow him, but her face changed with every step, she was about to fall on the ground, but the security guard quickly caught her.

Nana grimaced and pushed away the security guard, “Get off me. Don’t touch me.”

The security guard stepped back.

Seeing that the man had disappeared, Nana asked the security guard with a cold face, “Who is that man?”

The security guard shook his head, “I’m sorry, I can’t tell you.”

“Nana, are you alright?”

The girls gathered around Nana – concern on their faces, but delight in their hearts.

“Nana, aren’t you the one who claims to have taken down a hundred men? I can’t believe there’s a man who doesn’t fall for your tricks. This man is exciting indeed.”

As the girls expressed their schadenfreude, Nana’s face grew darker.

“I finally remembered who he is!” shrieked one girl.

The girl speaking was Crystal Park who had been released after spending three days in detention. She was part of the online celebrity circle who constantly partied. They posed as socialites but were actually imposters. They shared costs for high-end afternoon teas only for the sake of taking pictures, none of them actually drank it.

Their aim was to marry into a wealthy family. Everyone was working towards that. When someone managed to cling to a rich second-generation, none would sincerely congratulate her.

Everyone turned to look at Crystal.

“Master McKay! The McKay from the Rintos. Do you really not recognize him?”

Crystal was so agitated that she almost screamed. She had missed the opportunity to hook up with Master McKay and was consumed with regret, especially since she had not anticipated that McKay would appear here.
