My Celestial Ascension Chapter 1040: Tailing Marcus & Luna

"If it isn’t the famous Lady Patricia! I’ve finally had the pleasure of meeting you. By the way, I’m Marcus Lane," Marcus said with a charming smile, extending his hand toward Patricia.

"It’s a pleasure to meet you, Young Master Marcus. I’ve heard a lot about you," Patricia greeted him with a polite smile, though she made no move to shake his hand.

Marcus was taken aback. He stared at Patricia in surprise before quickly withdrawing his hand, hoping no one had noticed the awkward exchange.

His gaze then shifted to Yuan, and his expression immediately hardened as he shot him an unpleasant look.

Yuan responded with a provocative smirk as he wrapped his arm around Angela and pulled her closer.

"You naughty boy... Everyone is watching..." Angela whispered, blushing profusely as she felt his arm around her waist.

"Let them watch. After all, you’re my wife. It’s only natural for me to show you off and make everyone else jealous," Yuan whispered with a smile.

"You’re so naughty, baby~" Angela chuckled softly, giving him a playful nudge.

Seeing their affectionate exchange, Marcus grew even more furious, his expression turning cold and ruthless.

He turned toward Patricia and said, "Lady Patricia, why are you hanging around with a pretty boy like him? Why not join me instead?"

"Young Master Marcus, please mind your language. Yuan is my friend, and I won’t tolerate anyone disrespecting him," Patricia replied, thoroughly disgusted by his attitude.

Luna Lane stepped forward with an arrogant smile and said, "Lady Patricia, why turn down our invitation? I’m sure you’d have a wonderful time with us."

She shot Yuan a hateful glance before continuing, "Besides, he already has a partner with him. Why don’t you come and have some fun with us instead?"

"I’m sorry, but I’m not interested. Please enjoy yourselves," Patricia replied, immediately rejecting their offer.

Both Marcus and Luna wore sour expressions at her refusal.

Patricia then turned toward Yuan and Angela and said, "Come with me. I’ll introduce you to a few of my business partners."

With that, she took Yuan by the hand and led them toward a group of people.

The group immediately noticed their arrival and greeted Patricia warmly.

"President Patricia, it’s been a while since we last met," a young woman greeted her with a gentle smile.

She was wearing a sexy red dress that perfectly accentuated her figure, making her look particularly alluring.

"It’s been a while, Lady Lina. How have you been?" Patricia greeted her with a smile.

"I’m doing well. How about you?"

"I’ve been doing well, too."

"And who are these lovely people accompanying you?" Lina asked curiously, looking at Yuan and Angela.

"Oh, this is my friend Yuan, and the lady accompanying him is his grandmother, Angela," Patricia introduced them with a smile.

"What?!" Lina exclaimed in shock, staring at Angela with wide eyes.

’How is this possible?! How can she be his grandmother when she looks so young and beautiful?’

’This must be a prank! There’s no way such a beautiful woman could be his grandmother!’

’How could someone so stunning possibly be a grandmother? That’s simply impossible!’

The people around them began whispering among themselves, their faces filled with shock and disbelief. They simply couldn’t believe that a woman who looked so young and beautiful could already be a grandmother.

"You must be joking, right?" Lina asked Patricia suspiciously.

"No, she isn’t joking," Angela replied in a soft voice, a gentle smile on her face. "Despite my youthful appearance, I’m well over eighty years old."

"Y-You look so young for someone your age... I’m in my late thirties, yet I look older than you! This is simply unbelievable!" Lina exclaimed, swallowing nervously.

Patricia chuckled and added, "Even I was shocked when I first learned that she was actually Yuan’s grandmother."

"Yuan, this is Lina, one of the largest investors in my company," Patricia said, introducing Lina to him before moving on to the others.

"This is Mr. Johnson, another investor, and last but not least, this is Mr. Reilly, one of our company’s partners," she said, pointing toward two middle-aged men. Both immediately nodded at Yuan and Angela.

"It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Yuan and Madam Angela."

Mr. Johnson and Mr. Reilly greeted them with polite smiles.

"It’s a pleasure to meet you, too," Yuan and Angela replied courteously.

A few seconds later, Reilly spoke up. "President Patricia, where did you get that necklace and those earrings?"

As a gemstone supplier for the VELoura Group, he had immediately recognized the red and pink diamonds adorning Patricia’s necklace and earrings.

"Oh? These? I received them as gifts," Patricia replied before asking, "Is something wrong with them?"

"Not exactly." Reilly shook his head with a slight smile. "But do you know what kind of gemstones they are?"

"Aren’t they just regular gemstones? Although, the craftsmanship is definitely anything but ordinary. They’re absolutely beautiful!"

Mr. Reilly stared at Patricia for a couple of seconds before speaking. "You may not have realized it yet, but based on my experience in the gemstone industry, I’m certain those red gemstones are red diamonds. Natural red diamonds, to be precise."

"And the pink ones are natural pink diamonds as well. This is simply unbelievable! I’ve never seen red diamonds of this size before!"

Mr. Reilly’s revelation left everyone speechless, with the sole exceptions of Yuan and Angela.

’Natural red diamonds and pink diamonds?! Those are worth a fortune!’

"Hiss!"

Everyone gasped in unison, struggling to believe that Patricia was casually wearing jewelry worth a billion.

Patricia was equally shocked. She turned toward Yuan, staring at him in disbelief.

She couldn’t believe that he had casually gifted her something so precious.

"If any of you are interested in similar jewelry, just contact Patricia. We have several hundred pieces like these, all featuring natural diamonds. Not a single artificial one," Yuan announced with a faint grin, recognizing the perfect opportunity to make some money.

"What?!"

Everyone was even more shocked, staring at Yuan as though they couldn’t believe their ears.

Ignoring their stunned expressions, Yuan continued, "I know what I’m saying sounds shocking, perhaps even ridiculous. But I’m not joking. You’re welcome to bring your own experts to verify the authenticity of the jewelry."

"You’re willing to go that far?!" Mr. Reilly asked, looking at Yuan in disbelief.

"Of course." Yuan nodded with a smile.

Meanwhile, Patricia stared at Yuan in astonishment, unable to believe that he had suddenly turned her into his jewelry sales representative.

Some time later, Patricia left Yuan’s side and joined Lizzy in mingling with the other guests to establish connections with influential people.

After all, strong connections were essential to success in the business world.

Seeing Patricia occupied with greeting the other guests, Yuan turned toward Angela.

"Grandma, let’s go outside and get some fresh air. It feels a little cramped in here," Yuan said, gently taking her hand.

"Me too." Angela nodded and followed him to the hotel balcony.

Once they arrived, they gazed out at the beautiful ocean, watching the waves crash against the shore beneath the moonlit sky.

"What are you planning to do about that girl?" Angela asked, her voice growing slightly colder toward the end.

Yuan immediately understood whom his grandmother was referring to.

"I do have a plan for that bitch... a very interesting one, in fact." A wide grin spread across his face.

"Oh? Now you have my attention. Tell me, what are you planning to do to her?" Angela asked, immediately growing curious.

"Of course, I’ll teach her a lesson she’ll never forget. Killing her would be far too kind," Yuan said with a grin. "But I’m not going to tell you what I have planned. You’ll have to wait and see. Consider it a surprise."

"Can’t you at least tell me? I’m your wife, baby," Angela said, pouting at him.

"I’m sorry, but you’ll have to wait," Yuan replied with a soft chuckle.

Some time later, the party came to an end, and Yuan and Angela headed to the parking area. However, instead of getting into the car, Yuan stored the entire vehicle in his system storage.

"Let’s get going before anyone notices us," Yuan said before soaring into the sky.

Angela followed him, and the two landed on the rooftop of the hotel, where they watched the guests emerge from the building.

A few minutes later, Marcus and Luna came out of the hotel and got into their car.

"Let’s follow them," Yuan said to Angela, who nodded excitedly.

They followed the car from above, remaining completely undetected.

When the car finally arrived at an isolated spot with no one around, it came to a stop.

Using their Divine Sense, Yuan and Angela could see everything happening inside the vehicle with perfect clarity.

Inside the car, Marcus and Luna began making out, kissing each other passionately.

"Well, would you look at that... They’re doing it out in the open," Angela muttered with a soft chuckle.

"Unfortunately for them, their little romantic moment is about to come to an end. After all, I have a far better and more fitting arrangement in mind for the two of them."
