Rebirth of a Beauty Heiress

Chapter 4

In the opulent confines of his presidential suite, Shen Hao Ming awoke with a jolt. His hand instinctively reached out for the woman who had captivated him the night before, only to find the bed beside him cold and empty. A wave of fury surged through him, his pulse quickening with disbelief and anger. The thought that a mere girl had used him, dared to elope after everything that transpired between them, was inconceivable.

His energy fully restored, Hao Ming swung his legs over the side of the bed and snatched his phone from the bedside table. With a swift, practiced motion, he dialed the number of his personal assistant, Lin Tao. Lin Tao was more than an assistant; he was a lifelong friend, practically a brother. Their bond had been forged in childhood when Lin Tao’s mother, one of the nannies, had cared for Hao Ming. Recognizing the potential in the boy, Hao Ming’s father had ensured Lin Tao received the same rigorous training as his son. Over the years, Lin Tao had become Hao Ming’s right hand, unwavering in his loyalty.

As the phone rang, Hao Ming stood, his perfectly sculpted body barely covered by the robe he hastily donned. His eyes fell on a handbag left on the nightstand, unmistakably belonging to his runaway goddess. Anger flared again, tempered by a hint of satisfaction. She might have left, but she had been careless enough to leave behind something important.

Lin Tao answered the call on the second ring, his voice brisk and efficient. "Yes, Boss?"

"Get up here. Now. And bring Chen Lin with you," Hao Ming barked, his voice still hoarse from the intensity of the previous night.

"Right away," Lin Tao responded, the line going dead almost before the words were out.

Hao Ming rummaged through the handbag, his anger giving way to a predatory determination. Among the usual personal items, he found her family ID, passport, a business card from her company, a credit card, and a few notes of money. She had even left behind a newly packaged condom, a stark reminder of their intimacy the night before. The realization that they had been so intimate without protection struck him; she could be carrying his child.

His resolve hardened. He would not let her slip through his fingers. She was meant to be his, and he would ensure it by any means necessary.

The door to the suite swung open, and Lin Tao entered, followed closely by Chen Lin, the head of Hao Ming’s bodyguards. Chen Lin’s face was a mask of professionalism, but there was a glint in his eye that spoke of understanding and shared purpose.

"Boss," Lin Tao began, but Hao Ming cut him off with a curt gesture.

"Lin Tao, I need you to arrange an official marriage certificate for me and this lady today," Hao Ming commanded, thrusting the family ID and passport into his assistant’s hands. "Also, sever all business relations with the Song Group. They dared to drug me and used it as a ploy to climb into my bed. Ensure the Song Group disappears from New Ford."

Lin Tao nodded, his expression focused as he absorbed the instructions. "Consider it done."

Chen Lin, unable to suppress a sly smile, stepped forward. "Boss, I have some information that might interest you. Apparently, the woman you met last night is the heiress of the Shin Group. She was almost sold to a gigolo by her sister and her fiancé. They are in the next room. I have evidence of their infidelity if you want to present it to the young madame as an olive branch."

He handed over a USB drive and a folder filled with incriminating photos. Hao Ming glanced at them before tossing them onto a nearby table. "Good work," he acknowledged, a rare note of approval in his voice. "I will deal with them later. For now, I need to find my wife."

With a nod of determination, Hao Ming turned back to his wardrobe, selecting an immaculate suit. He dressed with precision, each movement a calculated step towards reclaiming what he had lost. As he adjusted his cufflinks, his mind raced with plans and contingencies. He would not be outmaneuvered by anyone, least of all by those who sought to manipulate and betray.

Once ready, Hao Ming strode purposefully from his suite, Lin Tao and Chen Lin flanking him. The trio made their way through the hotel, a formidable force driven by the iron will of their leader. They reached the lobby, and Hao Ming paused, scanning the area for any sign of his elusive goddess.

Lola spent her morning trying to catch up on sleep in her recliner after a restless night, a book lying open on her lap. The tranquility of her room was deceptive, as an impending storm brewed outside the walls of the Shin Mansion, one that would change her life forever.

Meanwhile, Shen Hao Ming approached the Shin Mansion with his entourage of bodyguards, arriving in the only Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire in New Ford. The sight of the luxurious vehicle and the formidable presence of his men sent waves of fear through the guards stationed at the mansion gates. They stepped aside, intimidated, and informed their boss of the arrival of this unannounced and highly influential visitor.

Shin Ya Jun, hearing the news, hurried downstairs from his study, his heart pounding. Shen Hao Ming was a man of unparalleled power and influence, his family representing the old imperial lineage, one of the most revered in the country. The very thought of offending such a figure was enough to make anyone tremble. Shin Ya Jun called out to his wife, Dong Xuan, to join him in greeting this unexpected guest.

As Shen Hao Ming emerged from the Rolls-Royce, opened by his head bodyguard Chen Lin, his presence was like a storm rolling in. His aura was one of authority and intimidation, akin to Lucifer himself ascending from the underworld. His every step was deliberate, exuding power and control as he adjusted his cufflinks and made his way toward the mansion.

Cindy, descending the stairs just as he entered, was immediately struck by his commanding presence. She couldn't help but stare at him, overwhelmed by his striking looks and imposing demeanor. He was far more formidable than Zhou Ze Yuan, and she felt a nervous gulp as she took in his presence.
