No one used to suspect anything because no one thought in that direction, especially those close to them.
Even if they saw someone who looked similar in the news, on the internet, or in magazines, they would just think it was a coincidence; nobody would imagine that their own family or friends might be playing another role somewhere else.
Nathaniel Summers pointed out Alexander Summersâ dual identity and, at the same time, deepened Purple Summersâ suspicion of Alexander.
â¦If it were Roy Howard, the head of the powerful Howard Family, it would be all too easy for him to make Jade Carlsonâs death look like an accident.
Purple Summers looked at him warily and asked in a low voice, âWhat exactly do you want to do?â@@novelbin@@
âNothing much,â Nathaniel responded casually as he sipped his drink, âExposing his identity does me no favors. Rest assured, I have no interest in unveiling his identity. Iâm only interested in tormenting him, letting him taste what itâs like to lose everything.â
They were very close, and others simply thought they were whispering to each other.
Purple Summersâ face turned pale, but because she had put on makeup that day, and the faint blush on her cheeks made her look in good health, there were no obvious signs.
Nathaniel walked past Purple Summers as if nothing had happened, as if the words he had just spoken were merely a casual remark without any emotion.
Purple Summers watched his retreating figure, feeling a chill crawling up from the soles of her feet, spreading through her limbs and freezing her bloodâ¦
She told herself over and over: stay calm. However, the sense of alarm in her heart just wouldnât go away.

Among the guests, there were not a few who knew Nathaniel Summers. Having not seen him for several months, they came over to greet him.
The impression Nathaniel used to give people was one of confidence and brightness, reserved and polite, with a clear look in his eyes when he smiled. But now, he gave off a profound and quiet mystery, seemingly unfathomable.
Some noticed the beads on his wrist and joked, âI heard you traveled solo with a backpack? How come it feels like youâve changed so much after coming back? Could it be that youâve received guidance from an eminent monk?â
âIs that red sandalwood?â someone knowledgeable squinted and observed, âIt doesnât quite look like itâ¦â
Nathaniel smiled, switched the glass to his other hand, and let the hand with the beads naturally hang down, his sleeve covering it.
âGuidance is too strong a word, but I did indeed encounter an expert who taught me some secret skills,â he spoke indifferently.
Rich people have many forms of entertainment but canât escape indulgence. Upon hearing about such extraordinary figures and events, their attention was all captured.
âWhat secret skills?â someone curiously asked.
Nathaniel took a sip of his drink and looked at the person with a smile, saying, âOpening Ghost Eyes.â
People looked at each other and were also fully intrigued.
âWhat does opening Ghost Eyes mean?â
Nathaniel said, âOpening Heavenâs Eyes can help you see the future, while opening Ghost Eyes can reveal the past. The secret skill I learned is opening Ghost Eyes to see a personâs past.â
âThatâs impossible,â a guest who believed in science couldnât help but say, âThis is too fantastical. You didnât run into a charlatan, did you?â
Nathaniel wasnât angry; he just smiled and said, âI know, I also find it quite mystifying. Why donât we give it a try?â
The atmosphere heated up, and more guests were drawn in, with many humorously saying, âLetâs try, letâs try!â
âBut how do we try?â
âHahaha, do we need to perform a ritual?â
The crowd buzzed with comments.
Nathaniel maintained a faint smile, âItâs not hard. You can throw out some questions and see if I know the answers.â
A wealthy young master, eager to test, asked Nathaniel, âLast week, I had a date with a female star. Do you know who she is?â
âI donât know her,â Nathaniel said with a smile.
Everyone laughed, urging him on.
Just then, Nathaniel spoke unhurriedly, âBlack short hair, wearing a red coat with a black dress underneath, a small mole near her eyeâ¦â
