Chapter 41 - 40: Haruno’s Remote Supervision!
Thanks to Roland’s massage technique, the hickeys on Yukio’s neck quickly faded.
As for the rest of the hickey marks on her body, Roland and Yukio decided to leave them be, so they didn’t try to remove them.
After about ten minutes, Yukio, now looking mostly presentable with fully dressed, emerged from the room arm-in-arm with Roland.
That’s right, just arm-in-arm. In front of her younger daughter, Yukio didn’t even dare to engage in any intimate gestures no matter if they are mild.
She feared her younger daughter would react with shock if she saw them. And she can’t really make her younger daughter hate her more.
It couldn’t be helped. Though she had abandoned all pretense of modesty with her elder daughter, Yukio still needed to maintain some maternal dignity in front of her younger one.
And it was this restraint that gave Haruno the opportunity to act.
At a banquet held somewhere, Haruno was the center of attention, like a queen at a ball.
She held a half-empty glass of red wine. Just moments ago, she had turned down a dance invitation from one young man, only to be immediately surrounded by another.
These weren’t just any young men; they were the sons of powerful tycoons and prestigious families. Not only were they flamboyant, but they also possessed wealth and influence. Any other girl would have eagerly accepted their dance invitations.
But as far as Haruno was concerned, if memory served, no man had ever managed to dance with her at any banquet over the years.
