He released her hand and put the jade
pendant’s red cord around Livia’s neck.
The moment the jade pendant touched her skin,
Livia screamed as if she had been burned by a
branding iron.
A black aura, invisible to the naked eye, surged
from the jade pendant and instantly entered her
body.
“This is a soul–locking pendant.” Prescott
explained. “It allows Prescott’s soul to attach
itself to your body.”
“From today on, you must live well and live
happily, so that he can rest in peace in the
underworld.”
Livia’s pupils shrank suddenly, and she finally

understood that what she had desperately
snatched was not a ticket to a wealthy family!

She would no longer be an independent person,
but a vessel parasitized by the soul of a dead
man, a walking corpse!
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.
“Prescott Landis!”
She grabbed Prescott’s pant leg and shouted in
a distorted voice, “You made a mistake! The ”
person you originally chose was Luna Monroe!
She was also there that day of the car
accident! She’s the one the master was talking
about!”
“She’s smarter than me, she’s been number one
since she was a child, her fate is a thousand
times better than mine! Her body is the best
vessel for your brother! Believe me!”

She paused. “Someone like me is vain and opportunistic, full of dirty thoughts, how am I
worthy of your brother’s pure soul? Only Luna is worthy!”
“As long as you let me go…”
A malicious light flashed in her eyes. “I’ll catch her for you! I promise, I can trick her into coming!”
Prescott’s originally cold eyes flickered slightly.
Two days later, I was in the office, processing information for an overseas merger and
acquisition case when Zachary Hayes‘ internal line rang.
“Luna, there are two gentlemen looking for you
downstairs, they say they were sent by Mr.
Landis.”

Zachary’s tone was a little heavy.

“I understand, Director Hayes.” I calmly closed
the file.
What was coming, was finally here.
In the company’s lobby, two men in black suits
stood, and the people around them were
whispering.
One of them stepped forward and nodded
slightly to me. “Ms. Monroe, Mr. Landis has
invited you.”
“Okay.” I calmly picked up my handbag, didn’t
resist, and followed them out.
The car drove again towards the Landis family’s
old mansion located in the suburbs.
The place I was taken to was not the banquet
