Chapter 1406: A Scheming and Terrible Woman

“That’s precisely the problem. Because you don’t care for superficial things, you’re not an ordinary woman, and that’s what makes people fear you.”

Ye Bufan looked at her and said, “No matter how beautiful a woman like you is, it’s useless. Your ambition is even greater than a man’s, and you’ll stop at nothing for profit.

If I were to truly sleep with you, it’s uncertain if I’d even wake up the next morning. Perhaps you’d send me directly into the palace to serve the Emperor.”

Since they met, this woman had always greeted him with a smile, but the more she did, the more wary he became.

Today, he had publicly humiliated the Berwick Family and seized a shop worth two hundred million usd, yet she showed no sign of Life Qi. This revealed the depth of her cunning, reaching a level that inspired fear.

“Hehehe, you really understand me.” Denniston giggled, “You’re right, the biggest thing in my eyes is profit. The reason we are marrying into the Perran Family is for mutual benefit.

As long as you can bring me endless benefits, I will naturally break off the marriage with the Perran Family, and at the same time, I will honestly stay by your side.

I believe that with your ability, you can definitely achieve this. As long as you are strong enough, you won't have to worry about my betrayal.

If you agree, I can give myself to you right now.”

With that, she puffed out her chest, revealing a graceful curve, her hazy eyes exuding endless charm.

Ye Bufan shook his head, “I don’t agree.”

“Why?” Denniston looked at him intently and said, “Is Mr. Ye not confident? Do you think you can’t remain strong forever?”

“There are two reasons. First, I don’t like it.

If a woman is too cunning and too ambitious, no matter how beautiful she is, I won’t like her.

Second, you’re not worth me doing that.

Although you are very beautiful, that’s all you are. There are many beautiful women, such as my girlfriends, such as Alicia, none of them are worse than you. Why would I want to keep a ticking time bomb by my side?”

Denniston said, “But Alicia is also a very ambitious woman, why can you accept her?”

Ye Bufan waved his hand, “She is different from you. Alicia has ambition, but it is limited to controlling the Perran Family, limited to obtaining some things she wants.

But you are different, you want everything,

and your ambition is not limited to the Berwick Family, nor even to the Federal Capital.”

Denniston’s expression showed disappointment, “That’s truly a pity. You are the first man I’ve felt I could rely on in so many years. Won’t you reconsider?”

“There’s no need.”

Ye Bufan answered very decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

“Alright then, if that’s the case, I cannot agree to Mr. Ye’s conditions, as this concerns the interests of our entire Family.”

At this point, Denniston smiled again, “Even if we can’t be friends, I don’t wish to be enemies with Mr. Ye.”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, “I also don’t wish to see the day we face each other with blades, Young Miss.”

“Cheers to us not becoming enemies.”

Denniston said, raising her glass and clinking it with Ye Bufan’s again.

An hour later, Ye Bufan left the Western restaurant and returned to his hotel. Soon after entering his room, he received a call from Alicia.

“Darling, where are you? Have you missed me?”

Pressing the answer button, as soon as the call connected, the woman’s tender voice came through.

Ye Bufan said, “I’ve already arrived at the Federal Capital.”

“Really, my dear Ye, that’s wonderful! It’s just a pity that Grandpa won’t let me go out right now, otherwise, I’d want to hug you right now…”

Alicia said with a somewhat dejected expression after her initial excitement, “Darling, when can you pick me up? I want to be with you.”

“Don’t worry, it won’t be too long. Once I’ve dealt with the Berwick Family, we can meet.”

Alicia then worriedly said, “Darling, you must not underestimate the Berwick Family. Their strength is very powerful, and they have the Black Wizard Alliance behind them.

And that woman, Denniston, is very cunning. Olivier can’t even hold his head up in front of her. You must be careful.”

“I know, I’ve already had a round with her today…”

Ye Bufan recounted the day’s events from beginning to end, finally saying, “Just as you said, that woman’s cunning is terrifying, her ambition is great, and she can control her emotions. She is indeed a very formidable opponent.”

Alicia said, “Darling, what are you planning to do? Are you going to act against the Berwick Family?”

“It’s not time yet.” Ye Bufan said,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

“Given that woman Denniston’s personality, she absolutely cannot endure humiliation indefinitely.

The reason she has been forbearing today must be because they haven’t prepared something on their side yet, at least they don’t have the strength to deal with me, or they don’t have one hundred percent certainty of being able to deal with me.”

Alicia said, puzzled, “Isn’t now a good opportunity then? You can directly act against their Family. Once they are fully prepared, it will be troublesome.”

“It’s not the same. Have you considered that the Black Wizard Alliance is behind them, and what she’s waiting for should also be reinforcements from the Black Wizard Alliance.

If we directly destroy the Berwick Family before that, the wrath of the Black Wizard Alliance will likely be unleashed on your Perran Family, and then the situation might spiral out of control.”

Ye Bufan said, “Since you are my woman now, I cannot let you suffer any harm, and I must also help you achieve your wish to completely control the Perran Family and reclaim the dignity that belongs to you and your mother.”

Hearing these words, Alicia’s heart was filled with emotion, and after a moment of silence, she said with a choked voice, “Darling, thank you, but this way you will face great danger.”

Ye Bufan said, “Don’t worry, it’s actually all the same. Since I destroyed the Ghost Witch Sect, sooner or later, the Black Wizard Alliance and I will have a battle.

Now that the Berwick Family is out in the open, it’s like having the enemy in plain sight, which makes everything easier to deal with.

Otherwise, having the Black Wizard Alliance constantly plotting against me from behind, that would be truly troublesome.”

“No matter what, I still have to thank you.”

Alicia naturally knew that everything Ye Bufan was facing was because of her, and her heart was filled with gratitude.

“You are my woman, you never need to thank me.” Ye Bufan then said, “Oh, right, the Berwick Family is backed by the Black Wizard Alliance, their strength is undoubtedly powerful.

What do your Family rely on to be one of the three major Families alongside them? Also, there’s the Lorraine Family you mentioned before, which is said to be the most powerful among the three major Families. What do they rely on?”

Alicia said, “That’s a bit complicated to explain. The Lorraine Family is the most powerful because they have the support of the Divine Court.

One of the twelve Cardinals of the Divine Court comes from the Lorraine Family, and precisely because of this, the Berwick Family and the Lorraine Family are in a state of hostility, and there is no hope of reconciliation ever.”
