The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Shariff Royal Palace,

Nissan detected Oni’s probing and decisively killed Oni.

Nissan pressed her into the water, drowned her, and threw the body into Emerald Lake, creating the illusion of an accidental drowning.

"Master, someone has detected our whereabouts, it’s not safe here anymore, do we still need to keep hiding?" Nissan asked.

"No rush." Night Owl didn’t plan to leave.

Had it not been for the height difference between him and Kiya, he would have considered disguising himself as Kiya and taking his place.

Kiya is different from Noah Phillips, Night Owl can’t disguise himself as Kiya without being noticed, so he doesn’t dare to take the risk.

Doctor X had long been fed up with staying here. Unlike Night Owl, who could find a woman to entertain himself when bored, his hobby was doing research, but there was no Laboratory here.

"What are you up to this time?"

"I’ve concocted a drug that can induce a deep coma," said Doctor X.

"What do you plan to do with it?"

"It can be used as an anesthetic during live dissection."

Night Owl gazed at the bottle of colorless, transparent liquid, thought for a moment, and took it from Doctor X’s hand.

"What are you going to do with it?"

"I want to use it on Adrian and see how it works!" Night Owl grinned wickedly, staring at the small bottle in his hand, a bold plan forming in his mind.

"This drug only induces a coma and has no other effects."

"That’s enough."

Night Owl stashed the drug away and walked out, bumping into Gulit. Gulit, upon seeing Night Owl, froze like a mouse encountering a cat, not daring to move a muscle.

Night Owl glanced at her belly, which was very large like a ball; Gulit supported her belly with one hand, her head bowed low, not daring to look Night Owl in the eye.

"How much longer until the child is born?" Night Owl asked.

"Three months..."

"Three months..." Night Owl repeated, saying, "Too long..."

Gulit looked at him nervously, "You, what do you want to do to my child?"

"Gulit, you’re such a coward." His hand caressed her face, "With you being so obedient, how could I bear to harm you?"

"I’ll do anything you say, just don’t harm me and the child," Gulit whispered, her voice trembling.

"Boring woman!"

Night Owl tossed her aside and walked away.

...

Johnson Family, at the old Madam’s residence.

The family gathered to discuss the Lunar New Year arrangements, Sheehan was dressed in a newly made red cotton-padded jacket with a mandarin collar, resembling a little ginseng doll, and was being playfully held by Samara.

"This New Year’s Eve, let’s not go out. We’ll set a few tables at home... see if we can invite the chef from Brilliance Hotel to cook the New Year’s Eve dinner at home," the old Madam suggested.

Sienna Johnson had no objections. She was pregnant this year and didn’t want to go out and fuss around.

"Order more strings of firecrackers for New Year’s Eve to fill the house with festivities." The old man glanced at Curly and the other children, saying, "You guys aren’t allowed to play with firecrackers, understand?"

"Got it, Great-grandma, how much red envelope money will I get?" Curly, not interested in firecrackers, was concerned only about her red envelope.

Samara also asked, "Grandma, will I still get a red envelope this year?"

"How come all of you are asking about red envelopes now?"

Sienna Johnson glanced at Samara and said, "Samara has donated all her red envelope money, she’s very strapped for cash."

The old Madam had heard about Samara’s actions. While charitable, her actions might not have been entirely prudent.

"Samara’s grown up now, let her intern at the company with you next year, so she can experience the hardships of the world herself," the old Madam announced.

Samara had no interest in business, "Grandma, I want to become a kindergarten teacher in the future."

Pauline Briggs had no particular expectations of her younger daughter, as long as she didn’t go astray, anything was fine, "Mom, she isn’t cut out for it, if she goes she’ll just cause Sienna trouble, better to let her stay at home obediently."

"No one is born knowing everything, I don’t expect her to be as capable as her sister, as long as she knows how hard her sister works to earn money, that’s enough."

Samara said, "I know how hard Sister works to earn money, I just won’t donate that much money in the future, that’s all."

The old Madam glanced at Samara, seeing her anxious expression, she refrained from speaking too harshly, afraid of upsetting her.

"When is Adrian coming back?" the old Madam asked.

"Said he won’t be back for a couple of days."

The old Madam remarked, "It’s the year-end, everyone’s busy." She glanced at Sienna’s belly and added, "You need to take care of yourself too, especially since you’re carrying twins this time."

"I know, Grandma."

The old Madam turned to Pauline Briggs, "How is the New Year’s gift preparation for your family going?"

"All ready, when Adrian returns, we’ll take the children to visit my parents at home," Pauline replied happily.

"How are your parents’ health?"

Pauline’s voice lowered, "Considering their age, they’re not as healthy as they once were."

Sienna’s eyelid twitched, she rubbed it with her hand, and it twitched again.

Sienna excused herself and stepped outside, where it had started snowing again, flurries turning the road white.

"There’s so much snow this year..."

Sally, who had never seen real snow before coming to Sileria City, was witnessing it for the first time.

Flurries of snowflakes landed with a chill, disappearing into nothingness upon contact with her palm.

"When it snows, it’s very pretty. I love the snow," Sally supported Sienna, wary of her slipping on the wet road.

"The temperature has dropped again these past two days, when I call Adrian later, I’ll remind him to dress warmly on his way back."

"Marion will remind Sixth Master."

"Mm."

Shariff Royal Palace,

Kiya looked at Oni’s corpse, Oni suffocated due to lack of oxygen, her entire face had changed color.

"Sultan, Oni didn’t drown, she was murdered," Gary said painfully.

Gary and Oni were lovers, they just never made their relationship public.

"If she had drowned, there should be mud or aquatic plants in her mouth or stomach, but Oni’s mouth was clean and her body hadn’t inhaled a lot of water... they definitely killed Oni and threw her into the lake."

"..."

"Oni was a strong swimmer, there’s no way she could drown in a calm lake without waves."

Kiya asked, "How are those two in Gulit’s Palace?"

"The young man went out two days ago."

"Are you sure it was Night Owl?"

"Checked the photo and confirmed, it is indeed Night Owl," Gavin replied.

Gary was immersed in the pain of losing his lover, unable to think straight.

"It must be Night Owl who killed Oni. I want revenge!" Gary exclaimed emotionally.

Gavin stopped Gary, "Gary, calm down. Being impulsive will just alert the enemy."
