Demons Beside You

Lucy and Princess exited backstage, where Zola was at.

 Zola hugged Lucy in excitement. To be honest, Lucy had a very powerful aura.

 On the stage, her feminine aura was fully displayed.

 With Princess at her side, she gave everyone a feeling that she needed protection.

 Then, the models began to go out on stage one after another. They all walked in couples, wearing carefully designed costumes.

 With the help of the lighting, all the pairs of models appeared to be particularly stunning. The audience below the stage occasionally applauded for them.

 “Ms. Lucy, your performance was outstanding. Do you mind giving me your number? Perhaps we can work together again in the future.”

 Lucy was elated. Being able to exchange contact with Zola meant that Zola had quite a good impression of her.

 Lucy was even more grateful for Chen Zhao"s help the night before.

 If Chen Zhao did not help her, she probably would not even have appeared on the stage.

 She would not have made the perfect show and left a strong impression on many of the famous people present.

 Indeed, there were many influential and powerful people present at the show.

 Leaving a good impression on them was more important than acting a small role in a movie.

 The show was rather successful. Reputation was actually only secondary for Zola"s brand.

 If Zola wanted a reputation, she only had to find a few celebrities. All of America would know her brand in just a few days.

 What she really needed was style and a deep impression on the upper social cla.s.s.

 She needed Baroness to be the first brand these people thought of whenever they had to attend an occasion or tailor-make a dress.

 It was a different business route. For normal international brands, no matter how luxurious they seemed to be, most of their products were aimed at the general public.

 Their products could be bought with just money, but Baroness was different.

 Apart from money, one also needed some status.

 All their costumes were tailor-made.

 It would be a truly luxurious brand. This was Zola"s ideology.

 Zola had in fact been very successful. All the Hollywood stars now took pride in owning a Baroness dress.

 They were like the wind vanes of fas.h.i.+on. The other upper-cla.s.s people would think that they were right.

 As celebrities, their aesthetics were obviously thought to be superior.

 Since they were rus.h.i.+ng to get Baroness dresses, the rest would not want to fall behind.

 Before this, Chen Zhao and Fali had never been to a real show.

 However, they realized that it was not as good as they had thought.

 It was merely a place for those upper-cla.s.s-tagged people to interact. Even though Chen Zhao and Fali were wearing gorgeous dresses, they were still poor people.

 Their characters predetermined that they would never be in the upper cla.s.s.

 Living in such an environment would only be more uncomfortable for them.

 Hence, one could foresee that they would never accept an invitation to such a show again, even though Zola had invited them with good intent.

 After the show ended, Chen Zhao and Fali bid goodbye to Zola.

 　　…

 “Jonal, has that woman left?”

 “Her car has already left Baron Mansion.”

 “Follow her. Keep your distance and don"t alert her. Follow her to her house.”

 “There"s an SUV behind her car.”

 “Maybe it"s her bodyguard. She"s wearing such a precious gem, after all.”

 “Jonal, are you sure the ruby on her pendant is real?”

 “Bart, have you forgotten what I worked as before this? I can tell if it"s real or not by just looking.”

 “But don"t kill her later. She"s too beautiful. We can have some fun after we can the gem.”

 　　…

 “Dell, Fali and I are going home. You can send Beelzebub and the rest there. You know where my keys are.”

 After Dell hung up, he looked at the courtyard. Faith was still riding on Black-Ma.

 Many parents would buy a pet for their kid because the pet could keep their kid company, especially dogs.

 Just like children, dogs are very energetic and would hardly be tired.

 Therefore, dogs are the best choice to keep children company. Faith had been playing since the morning and she was still not tired.

 “Faith, let"s go and visit Uncle Chen.”

 “Are we sending Black-Ma and the rest home?”

 “Yes.”

 “Alright. I"m going there on Black-Ma"s back.”

 Anyway, Dell"s manor was only ten minutes or so away from Chen Zhao"s residence. He did not mind walking there and coming back.

 When Dell arrived, Chen Zhao had yet to reach. Dell took the keys and went in.

 Soon, he heard a car being parked outside the house.

 Faith shouted and ran to the door.

 “Wah…” Faith suddenly made a series of exclamations.

 Dell thought that something had happened and quickly ran to the door as well.

 When Chen Zhao walked into the house, there was an enormous brown bear beside him.

 The bear was also carrying two small bears. Dell also exclaimed.

 Funnily, the father and the daughter exclaimed in the exact same way.

 “Chen, where did you get the bear… no, three bears.”

 Faith was not scared at all. She had already leaped at Princess and hugged Princess"s huge head.

 How big was Princess? She was about as heavy as Black-Ma, White-Ma, Obitos, and Walter combined.

 Princess opened her mouth and bit Faith"s s.h.i.+rt, after which she walked inside.

 “Chen, you have to give me one of them! You have three bears, give me a small one. Let it grow up with Faith.”

 “No way. You can"t just separate the family.”

 “Fali, introduce Princess, Briar and Bramble to their new friends. Tell them not to fight. Also get them some food.”

 Hearing the word “food,” Black-Ma, White-Ma and the rest all crowded toward Fali.

 Faith kept following Princess. Princess was already intelligent and she also really liked Faith, given that she was a mother herself.

 Chen Zhao heaved a sigh and removed his jacket.

 Dell took two cans of beer and threw Chen Zhao one. The two sat beside the swimming pool.

 “Chen, where did you go today? Look at how handsome you are and how pretty Fali is.”

 “A show for a clothing brand,” Chen Zhao said. “I already regret it. Shouldn"t have gone there. It"s too painful.”

 “I don"t like that kind of occasion either,” Dell said.

 Dell was similar to Chen Zhao. Although Dell was born into an upper-cla.s.s family, he was not a person who would follow the rules. His actions in the past were sufficient to ill.u.s.trate his personality.

 Just then, Faith stuck her head out from upstairs. “Dad, I"m sleeping with Princess, Briar, and Bramble tonight.”
