CEO’s Seduction Trap

After a pause, seeing Leila unmoved, Shirley added with a troubled expression, “Seriously, listen to me. Stay away from him. You’re not from Neo City, you don’t know about his reputation…”

Shirley’s words were cryptic, but Leila smoothed out every edge of the face mask on her face and replied calmly, “Don’t worry, I won’t have feelings for someone who’s not even from the same world as me.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Hearing Leila’s response, Shirley realized there was a misunderstanding. She decided to be more direct. “A few years ago, there was a kidnapping case in Neo City. It caused a huge sensation because the kidnappers directly targeted the four grandsons of The Ramirez Family.”

Leila, now interested, washed her hands and asked, “And Mason was one of them?”

Shirley nodded, “Yes, Mason is the youngest one. He has an older brother who is second in line. The other two, from his uncle’s family, are the eldest and the third.”

“No one knows exactly what happened during the kidnapping. But when the four kidnapped sons returned, the eldest went insane, the second died, and the third fell seriously ill…”

“What about Mason?”

Shirley looked eerie, “He was the only one who came back unscathed, physically and mentally. Not only that, but he also managed to force his uncle to death five years later and inherited The Ramirez Group. People say he orchestrated the kidnapping case in the first place.”

“High society is full of scandals.” Leila had heard about this before, but hearing about The Ramirez Family’s situation was still shocking.

Shirley sighed as Leila seemed lost in thought. “Do you know why I told you to stay away from him? Think about it, a man who’s ruthless enough to go after his own family for power, how could he treat women well?”

After chatting for almost an hour, Shirley yawned and ended the video call.

Leila picked up her tablet and checked her work emails, intending to check today’s meeting minutes. However, she noticed an additional email in her inbox, sent anonymously.

The email revealed a video clip. In the video, a man was seen handing money to a waitress, along with a small bottle of pills…

Seeing the scene in the video, Leila’s expression turned colder. The waitress seemed reluctant, but the man pulled out his wallet and offered her more money. Eventually, the waitress hesitantly accepted the money and pocketed it.

The video had no sound, but Leila understood what was happening. Towards the end, the waitress discreetly dropped one of the pills into a glass of juice before serving it to Leila’s booth.

Leila initially thought the video ended there, but it transitioned to footage from inside the booth. In the booth, the waitress approached Leila and quietly handed her the juice.

Leila accepted it and tipped the waitress before taking a sip of the juice….

The video paused.

She’s not sure who sent the video. But the man in the video bribing the waitress was someone Leila knew. He was one of the few ‘friends’ she has made since joining Nova Group. Ever since she started at Nova Group, many people have given her trouble, both openly and secretly. But the man in the video has always been good to her. Being new and in a strange place, she was easily blinded by such kindness.

After watching the entire video, Leila took a moment to calm down. She downloaded and saved the video, then closed her tablet…

The next morning, Leila woke up early and went to the police station.

The video was clear and unedited, and since Leila was directly involved, the case was swiftly accepted by the authorities.

By 9:30 AM, Leila arrived at the office, accompanied by four police officers. As soon as they entered the lobby, they attracted the attention of everyone passing by.

News of Leila bringing the police to the company quickly spread throughout the entire building, causing a stir in the office chat groups.

“What’s going on? What’s going on?”

“Are you saying Miss Patel brought the police to the company?”

“I saw it too, four police officers.”

“Is it because of that video?”

“Did anyone forward it? Did Miss Patel call the police because someone forwarded it?”

Every person who had forwarded the video was now nervously on edge.
