A jet-black, sleek luxury car slowly drove into the gate of Ryan's magnificent and luxurious villa. The wheels made a slight sound as they rubbed against the ground, as if announcing the return of the owner.

At this moment, a crisp car horn sounded, breaking the quiet air. After hearing the sound, a figure suddenly appeared on the empty balcony of the villa. However, this figure disappeared on the balcony as quickly as a glimpse of a startled beauty, as if it had never appeared.

Then, a well-trained servant walked up quickly and respectfully opened the car door. Ryan got out of the car with an upright posture. He raised his head slightly and looked at the balcony. His handsome eyebrows could not help but frown slightly, but in an instant he returned to his usual calm appearance. Then, he walked towards the house with firm and powerful steps.

After entering the living room, Ryan took off his exquisitely tailored coat and threw it to the housekeeper who was walking towards him. Then, he asked in a low and magnetic voice: "Miss Margaret stayed upstairs all day and never went out?"

In response to Ryan's inquiry, the housekeeper quickly replied: "Yes, sir, Miss Margaret has indeed stayed upstairs all the time, and has not even stepped down the stairs." After getting the answer, Ryan just responded lightly with "Oh", and then walked upstairs on his own.

In fact, this morning when he was about to go out for the interview, he specifically asked Margaret if she was willing to go with him. After all, this recruitment was not just about him selecting the right talent, Margaret also had her own goals and needs.

However, Margaret said she felt a little unwell and wanted to rest for a while.

He didn't think much about it and went out by himself through the door.

Now that he came back in high spirits, Margaret did not greet him as usual and did not come downstairs for a whole day. This was a bit abnormal.

Ever since she restored her appearance, she has been eager to walk outside every day so that people can remember her face.

But now it seems that she doesn't have this plan...

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but feel a little doubtful, but he quickly suppressed it. After all, everyone has their own ideas and choices, and perhaps Margaret has her own considerations. So, with this thoughtful mood, Ryan continued to step onto the stairs.

Ryan did not go straight to his own room, but instead came to Margaret's door first and gently knocked on the closed door.

Today was a fruitful day for him. Therefore, he couldn't wait to share this good news with Margaret. After all, this matter was related to the grand cause they were pursuing together, and Margaret would surely be very interested in it.

"Margaret, it's me, please open the door." Ryan called softly. However, there was no response from inside the house.

After Ryan lost his patience and raised his voice, the door finally opened slowly, and Margaret appeared at the door. What was a little strange was that she was still wearing the veil as usual, making it impossible to see her true face.

I only heard her speak in a lazy tone with a hint of tiredness: "Oh, so it's you who's back, Ryan."

Seeing Margaret looking so listless, Ryan couldn't help but ask with concern: "Hey, Margaret, what's wrong with you? Are you still feeling unwell?" After saying that, he was about to step over Margaret and walk directly into the house.

But at this moment, Margaret suddenly stretched out her hand, blocked Ryan's steps, and said, "I'm sorry, Ryan, I really need to take a good rest, so I'm afraid I can't chat with you for long."

Faced with Margaret's unexpected behavior, Ryan couldn't help but frowned and said, "I'll just say a few words... By the way, why are you still wearing a veil at home? It's not like you were ashamed to be seen before. Now you are an oriental beauty..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand without hesitation, trying to uncover the true face behind the mysterious veil. However, Margaret turned her head away suddenly as if she had received an electric shock, and quickly stretched out her jade hand to tightly grasp Ryan's outstretched hand.

Seeing this, Ryan couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked quickly: "What's going on? Why are you dodging like this?" His eyes were fixed on Margaret, as if he wanted to find the hidden secret through her eyes.

Faced with Ryan's questioning, Margaret suddenly became a little uneasy. She opened her mouth, but didn't know where to start. The words seemed to be stuck in her throat, making her feel extremely embarrassed. At this moment, her heart was like a pot of mixed feelings, with all kinds of complicated emotions intertwined, making her fall into deep entanglement.

While Margaret was still hesitating, Ryan suddenly lifted the veil with his other free hand at lightning speed. In an instant, Margaret's face, which had been covered, was revealed without reservation.

"Oh my God!" Ryan couldn't help but scream. The scene in front of him was too shocking - Margaret's face was covered with dense red spots, like a bunch of blooming blood-red flowers, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.
