Chapter 80
Regina watched them step into the elevator before heading home to rest.
The house was enormous, yet it felt almost empty with only her inside. A vast emptiness wrapped in luxury, highlighting a profound sense of solitude
She stood in front of the mirror, hesitated for a moment, then lifted her shirt to reveal her stomach.
The prosthetic was seamless, thanks to Stephen’s unmatched expertise. It looked and felt completely natural, leaving no trace it wasn’t real
The material was extraordinary, impossible to pierce yet soft and warm to the touch.
Stephen had gone further, shielding her internal components to prevent detection by scans or hacking attempts.
Mechanical organs, however, had their risks. If hackers discovered them, they could upload a virus to shut her down.
But Stephen’s concealment system made that nearly impossible, even if someone detected the prosthetics, they wouldn’t have access to her core
systems
This innovative technology was exclusive to Stephen, no one else in the world could replicate it
Regina trusted him completely.
It was no wonder so many sought him out.
His work wasn’t just exceptional.
And the best part? He didn’t even charge her a dime.
Regina picked up her phone and jotted down a quick note in her planner.

Thinking it over, everyone who had helped her today deserved something in return. Good people were worth keeping close.
She could offer special services in return for long–term benefits between them.
“Ding dong!”
The doorbell rang, pulling ber from her thoughts
She glanced at the video screen.
Roy stood there, expressionless, holding a neatly wrapped gift.
A small smile tugged at her lips.
Looks like she was right, tonight wasn’t going to be boring.
She opened the door and feigned surprise. “You’re back? What’s the occasion?“
Roy’s cold expression didn’t waver as he looked at her. His tone was gil, almost detached. “I heard you were living alone Figured you wouldn’t cook, so I brought you something
He paused and asked tentatively, “What’s this? Not happy to see
Regina shook her head. “No, I’m happy to see you?
She had already made up her mind to go all out to serve her benefactors,
Why not start now?
She stepped aside and motioned for him to enter. “Come on int
Roy hesitated for a moment, sensing her unexpected enthusiasm. Still, he walked in, a twinge of doubt lingering in his mind.
This gaze swept over the space, it was a lavishly decorated apartment.

Chapter 80
A staircase led to an upper floor, clearly showing she owned both levels, making the place feel vast and open
The air was filled with a light, pleasant fragrance.
It was unmistakably Regina’s scent.
She handed him a pair of new slippers. “Here, these are brand new,”
Roy changed into them and casually said, “I brought you some fruit and sandwiches. Where’s the kitchen?”
Regina stepped forward, trying to take the items from him. “Let me handle it.”
He dodged her hands, firm but calm. I’ll do it
Startled, she pointed toward the kitchen. “It’s over there.”
Without another word. Roy strode directly into the kitchen, leaving her standing there, puzzled.
According to the records, Roy was the type to live in a mansion, waited on hand and foot, and never deal with trivial matters himself.
Yet, here he was, carrying fruit to her door, unexpected, to say the least.
Regina’s eyes lit up as she eagerly ran over. “Do you need something from me?”
Roy paused mid–motion, gave her a questioning look
She leaned casually against the kitchen bar, resting her chin on her hands with a playful smile. “Since you helped me today, just tell me need. I won’t say not
Look how committed she was!
If the benefits were right, there was nothing Regina wouldn’t do,
Encouraging him further, she flashed a deeper smile. “Come on, I’ll agree to whatever you say.”
Roy didn’t respond.
His sharp gaze bore into her, cutting through any pretense.
Trying to return the favor, huh?
