Seeing the furious girl in front of her, Emilia said nothing. Just then, a voice full of sternness suddenly rang out: "Bella, what are you doing?!"The girl, named Bella, was momentarily startled but quickly furrowed her brows as if dissatisfied with something.At that moment, the person speaking had also arrived—a man in his senior years. Emilia recognized him as the Adonis Group's largest shareholder and her father's good friend, Mr. Stall. This adorable girl was probably his precious daughter, if she wasn't mistaken.She distinctly remembered that when Bella was younger, she wasn't this rude; she wasn't sure what had happened over the years.Mr. Stall also recognized Emilia. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then he swiftly pressed Bella's head down, sternly saying, "Apologize right now. You have no sense of respect, Bella!"This action only made Bella even angrier. She clenched her lips, and as soon as Mr. Stall let her go, she snorted coldly and ran off.Mr. Stall coul

The party at the Adonis family estate attracted the attention of many. Some believed this was the turning point marking a new achievement in Matthew's path to power. In contrast, others were convinced that Matthew would not take control of the Adonis family, as he greatly respected the family's head.There were countless speculations about this, but everyone was eagerly anticipating the event.At this moment, in the grand hall of the Adonis estate, beautiful lights shone everywhere, with bright red roses seemingly decorated lavishly without cost throughout the hall. Tall champagne towers, over a meter high, were being moved around, awaiting guests to indulge.The influential figures kept smiling and conversing, looking very joyful, but only they knew they were waiting for the appearance of the central figure of the night, Matthew."Everyone, what do you think? Why hasn't Matthew shown up yet? Could it be that there's a trap at this party?""Haha, you're overthinking. Why don't you spe

Time passed quickly; during this period, Robert remained in hiding, showing no new actions. Meanwhile, Matthew had learned some clues from the intruders they had captured.Because he was protecting Emilia, they wanted to eliminate him or at least eliminate Emilia. Only by doing so could the factions easily fight for the lucrative Adonis family legacy.Matthew shared this with Emilia.Emilia's expression was cold, her eyes filled with rage: "Those bastards!"She clenched her fists, her nails almost digging into her skin, yet she felt no pain.Matthew stood by, gently watching her, his eyes filled with concern. His Emilia shouldn't have to endure things like this!Emilia didn't know what Matthew was thinking. After contemplating, she looked at him and softly said, "Matthew, can I trust you?"Matthew looked at Emilia, somewhat puzzled. However, he nodded firmly, "Of course, Emilia. You may not trust anyone, but you must trust me. I won't let you get hurt or suffer!"Hearing Matthew's res

"So your father said that the Adonis family tradition doesn't allow a daughter to become the heir?" Matthew looked at Emilia, asking with disbelief.Emilia nodded. "Yes." After briefly pausing, she added, "I also feel that Curtis is more suited to be the heir."Matthew didn't feel the same way. If Curtis were indeed an outstanding heir, at the very least, he should have been able to control his feelings and not have been so enchanted by Alice that he couldn't recognize the trap she set.Moreover, Matthew knew how brilliant Emilia had been in the past. The reason Mr. Adonis gave was also quite strange.Matthew looked at Emilia and asked, "You've never read about the history of the Adonis family, have you?"Emilia nodded. She had always wanted to read it, but her father never allowed her to enter the family library.Matthew felt there was something off about this. As far as he knew, the Adonis family had a history of female leaders. Emilia was so capable that there was no reason why Mr.

"All units retreat! There's a variable!" the voice of an intruder echoed.Even Emilia could hear the panic in his voice. It made sense—their meticulously crafted plan to kill Matthew had fallen apart in ways they could never have anticipated. They hadn't accounted for the sheer power Matthew possessed, nor had they ever considered Emilia's existence would pose a challenge. After all, Emilia's reputation as a genius had been buried three years ago when she left her family without a word, relinquishing her position as heir.She had been powerless during her brother's wedding, but now she was determined to trap every one of these intruders here.With that thought, Emilia sprang into action. Armed with her own gun and one she had taken from an intruder, she fired at their legs with precision.The intruders collapsed to the ground, still attempting to fire back, but Matthew and his subordinates arrived, swiftly overpowering them.Some intruders bit down on poison capsules hidden in their m

Emilia saw a plume of smoke billowing out from the wide-open door ahead. She could easily guess what was happening with just a moment of thought.Her brows furrowed. If she remembered correctly, Matthew's group didn't bring night vision goggles, whereas the intruders clearly came prepared. At this rate, even if Matthew's side had superior numbers, they were at a disadvantage.Pressing her lips together, Emilia's gaze flickered with hesitation."But it's not three years ago anymore. No one can hold you back now, Emilia," she muttered to herself as if solidifying a decision.Finally, she took a deep breath and stepped into the warehouse. Her determined figure moved forward without a hint of doubt.The deaths of her father and brother had been a devastating blow, but a truth she didn't want to admit had also emerged—it was a loss, yes, but it also freed her from the chains that had bound her.Three years ago, one fateful night before her passionate encounter with Matthew..."Emilia, you
