米拉·卡莱尔立刻站起身来，发现雷泽·米尔这次没有锁上笼子，她也没多想，推开笼门，走了出去。

她是雷泽·米尔亲手带回来的少女，也是第一个住在这里的女孩，庄园里的仆人们都对她毕恭毕敬，甚至鞠躬行礼，称呼她为“小姐”。 

米拉·卡莱尔假装四处闲逛，让仆人们看到她还在那儿，逛完后，她打了个哈欠，回到二楼的主卧室，关上门，制造出她要睡觉的假象。 

仆人们当然不敢进入雷泽米尔的卧室。 

所以，在雷泽·米尔回来之前，她至少有十个小时的自由时间。 

米拉·卡莱尔从主卧阳台的落地窗爬到二楼，巧妙地避开了仆人和园丁，来到了庄园花园的后面。 

迎面而来的是一面高大的白色雕花墙，深绿色的藤蔓缠绕其上，散发着一股复古的豪宅气息。 

米拉.卡莱尔随意的抓着一根藤蔓，脚尖撑在墙壁上，快速的往上爬去。 

她的动作轻盈有力，攀登速度惊人，稳健而轻松，犹如在平地上行走。 

她的黑发随着她的动作飘扬，引得城墙上的鸟儿们围着她飞翔，拍打着翅膀向她打招呼。 

不到十秒的时间，米拉·卡莱尔便稳稳的落在了墙外。 

她触摸了一下藤蔓，撇嘴一笑，说了声“谢谢”，然后转身走开。 

米拉·卡莱尔先打车去了市中心的一家当铺，用衣服上的金色纽扣付了车费。然后她从当铺取回了身份证，去银行取钱，用现金买了一台笔记本电脑和一部手机。 

走出电子产品商店，米拉·卡莱尔抬起头，看到眼前是一栋十几层的办公大楼。

这是卡莱尔家族的公司。 

当她还是卡莱尔家的养女时，他们并不富裕，只是一个普通的工薪阶层家庭。 

Later, the Carlisle family started a business, gradually becoming the nouveau riche they were now. And the initial large startup fund for that business came from the ice pearl she cried out, and the money they got from selling her to the underground auction in Seton City. 

In other words, everything the Carlisle family had now was hers. 

Mila Carlyle raised her face in the sunlight, her deep green eyes shimmering coldly. 

Although she disdained the Carlisle family’s assets, her things, even if they were to be shredded into pieces, would never be given to the Carlisle family for free. 

Mila Carlyle found a random coffee shop nearby, sat down, and ordered five pieces of strawberry cake. As she ate, she opened her laptop and logged into her account through an encrypted connection. 

It was as if Cecil Barton had been monitoring her activity 24/7. As soon as she logged in, he sent a message: Little Fish, you’re here! Have you arrived in Rong City? 

Little Fish of the Deep Sea: …Cecil Barton, don’t you have a company to run? Are you always online? 

Cecil Barton: [Scratching head] I was just worried you wouldn’t come. Where are you? Do you need me to send a car to pick you up? Who did you come with? A man or a woman? 

Little Fish of the Deep Sea: If you keep talking nonsense, I won’t go. 

Cecil Barton: [Terrified] No, no, no! I won’t say anymore. The address is Osborne Hotel. The dress is in the room. Get the room key from the front desk. I’ll be waiting for you in the banquet hall. 

Mila Carlyle replied “On time” and went offline. Her slender fingers danced over the keyboard, quickly hacking into Osborne Hotel’s backend. 

All the hotel’s surveillance, as well as power control switches, were laid out in front of her. 

She connected her phone to the laptop, inputting a series of programming codes proficiently… 

After a swift operation, Mila Carlyle looked at the screen, her lips stained with a bit of cream curling mischievously. 

Mia Carlyle, my dear “sister,” see you tonight! 

Evening, 7 PM. 

In the most luxurious banquet hall of Osborne Hotel, glasses clinked in a toast. 

This was the only seven-star hotel in Rong City, a property of the Mir family, exceedingly luxurious. 

To host a birthday party here, wealth alone was not enough; power was also required. 

Six or seven elegantly dressed girls were holding champagne glasses, surrounding a girl in a nude V-neck long dress, with trendy chestnut curly hair, a beautiful face, and extremely delicate makeup.

“Mia, I heard the Carlisle family is related to the Mir family. Is that true?” a girl in a black dress asked. 

Mia Carlyle’s eyes were full of pride and arrogance, but she humbly replied, “Not really. My father’s sister is married to the sixth uncle of the Mir family, so we can only be considered ordinary relatives of the Mir family.” 

“Being ordinary relatives is more than enough! The Mir family is so powerful!” 

Another girl asked eagerly, “Have you seen the head of the Mir family, Leize Mir? He’s so handsome and young, only 24, unmarried, without even a rumored girlfriend!” 

Mia Carlyle’s hand holding the glass slightly stiffened; this remark struck a chord. How she wished to meet Leize Mir? 

In recent years, her parents and she had thick-skinnedly squeezed into various Mir family banquets under the guise of being relatives, hoping to win Leize Mir’s favor. 

But not to mention favor, she hadn’t even had the chance to see Leize Mir in person! 

But it didn’t matter; she would keep trying. Tonight, she was here because she heard that Cecil Barton might invite Leize Mir… 

Of course, she couldn’t lose face in front of others. Mia Carlyle pretended to smile modestly and lied, “I’ve indeed met Leize Mir a few times. He even had dinner with me. Last night, he called to invite me. I might go on vacation with him in a few days…” 

“Wow! You’ve seen Leize Mir!” 

“Oh my! Leize Mir even invited you on vacation? That’s pretty obvious, isn’t it? Mia, Leize Mir must be interested in you!” 

“Mia, you’re amazing. We haven’t even seen Leize Mir’s back…” 

“Exactly, Mia, you might become the Mir family’s young mistress!” 

Everyone knew the Mir family was currently the most powerful family in Eurasia, wealthy beyond imagination and incredibly influential. As the youngest head of the Mir family, Leize Mir held unimaginable wealth and power. 

Which woman wouldn’t want to cling to Leize Mir? 

Being with Leize Mir meant having everything, and he was also extremely handsome, simply the most perfect, flawless male god. 

The girls looked at Mia Carlyle with envy, feeling sour inside, barely stopping themselves from saying “I want that too.” 

Listening to their flattering words, Mia Carlyle felt an unparalleled sense of satisfaction. Yes, she would definitely win Leize Mir’s favor, become the Mir family’s young mistress, and be the envy of all women! 

Mia Carlyle wasn’t worried Leize Mir would reject her. After all, she was so beautiful, there wasn’t a second one like her in Rong City. 

No, there had been one… 

Thinking of Mila Carlyle’s stunning face, Mia Carlyle’s eyes flashed with jealousy but quickly cleared. 

Having been sold to the forbidden auction in Seton City, that monster was probably already played to death by some old man!

A monster that wasn’t even human, she wasn’t worth Mia’s jealousy. Mila Carlyle wasn’t worthy of her jealousy. 

At that moment, a burst of flattery came from the entrance. Mia Carlyle quickly looked up, seeing the clean-cut and handsome Cecil Barton walk in. 

Knowing it wouldn’t be easy to get close to Leize Mir, Mia Carlyle decided to first approach Cecil Barton tonight. After all, the Barton family was also one of the top noble families in Rong City. 

Once she got Cecil Barton under her thumb and made him her suitor, she could use him to get close to Leize Mir. 

她注意到塞西尔·巴顿在结束社交后四处张望，似乎在寻找某人——毫无疑问是一位美丽的女性。他今晚没有带女伴，说明他仍然单身。 

现在正是接近她的最佳时机，以她的美貌，塞西尔·巴顿肯定会对她一见倾心。 

想到这里，米娅·卡莱尔立即整理了一下衣裙，走了过去，举起香槟杯，气质优雅，声音柔和甜美，是男人喜欢的，“塞西尔·巴顿，开心……”

“生日快乐。”一道清脆甜美的女声突然插话道，打断了她的话。 

米娅·卡莱尔一愣，怒火中烧。谁敢打断她的话—— 

可当她转头看到女孩的时候，却震惊的瞪大了眼睛！
