"So, it's really you!" Jessica sneered, her fists clenched. She had no strength to resist Saxon now. The whole island was like a prison, trapping her. It would be wise not to act tough.

"Your resilience is impressive. I thought you wouldn't wake up until tomorrow," Saxon smiled gently. In the sunlight, his face was as fair as jade, and his emerald eyes shone like pearls. If one didn't know he was a mafia godfather, they would never suspect him of being so ruthless.

Jessica didn't want to show weakness in front of him, but she knew her current situation was terrible. She had a pale face, weak and powerless, like a fish waiting to be slaughtered on a chopping board.

"Is that so? I'm sorry to disappoint you," Jessica sneered, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead. "You put in so much effort, why? With such a large island, who are you trying to attract?"

His target was Marcus!

She had always known that, and with a sudden sense of fear, Jessica tried to stand up. Unfortunately, she had w

    There seemed to be no surprise. This was Saxon's nature, wasn't it? From a long time ago, he had never concealed his desires and lust toward her. Jessica grew angrier but felt powerless to resist.She always believed that no matter what kind of environment one is in, as long as they don't give up, even the worst situation will have a glimmer of hope.

But now she realizes that there are times when she is powerless, when she feels helpless and at the mercy of others.Saxon..."Why are you trembling so much?" Saxon chuckled lightly, with a hint of satisfaction in his voice. Jessica's fear seemed to please him, and he enjoyed seeing it. "You used to be so strong, right? What are you afraid of? Why are you shaking? Show some of that courage you used to have, I'm looking forward to it."Jessica bit her lip tightly. She refused to be humiliated by anyone. She had to suppress her urge to slap Saxon. But just th

    Jessica was pushed to the edge of humiliation and death by Saxon, almost collapsing. She tasted the metallic taste of blood on her lips as she bit down hard to endure.She was not afraid of the sexual torment, but she feared Saxon's psychological and emotional oppression.It's like when a person knows they are about to die, standing at the edge of a cliff. They would rather jump off and meet a quick end, shattering their bones, than be forced to linger on the edge of that cliff. And then they are told that beneath the cliff awaits even greater and more painful torment, and they are reminded of all the things they still cherish in the world.

    Just as Jessica was about to lose consciousness, Saxon violently threw her aside. Jessica fell onto the sandy beach, her blood-stained body contrasting sharply against the pristine white sand. The air rushed back, causing Jessica to cough uncontrollably...Lying on the ground, she took deep breaths, with grains of sand invading her nose and throat. The sand caused a sharp tingling sensation in her nose, while her throat scraped against it, causing intense pain. Her eyes stung as tears streamed uncontrollably...It was a natural reaction, but Jessica couldn't stop herself from crying. The suppressed emotions burst out all at once. She wept...She couldn't distinguish whether it was caused by the sand or if she had wanted to cry all along...The coughing continued... now accompanied by hoarse sobs.Her heart felt heavy... a feeling that couldn't be expressed in words, only summed up as a simple word... pain.Suddenly, she felt a strong pulling force as Saxon grabbed her wrist and forcef

    With Saxon's departure, the landscape of W City's business world faced a reshuffling. Besides the Lee Family in the south of the city, the Smith, Moor, and Brown families formed a new commercial kingdom, their positions unchallenged.Inspector Milo's investigation into the smuggling case at the harbor implicated Mr. Marcus. Although they had to abandon it due to lack of evidence, the news spread throughout W City.Given Leo's involvement at the harbor and the massive destruction of weaponry, anyone with a sharp eye could sense something fishy.

    "Why should I tell you?" Alston Smith mocked. "Are you panicking? Feeling lost? Aren't you tough? How much longer can you be tough before Charles kills you?""Alston Smith, would it matter to you if I kill Dennis and Leonard?" Mr. Marcus threatened with a cold smirk.Alston Smith's face changed. "Don't mess around. They are your brothers.""Brothers? I have always enjoyed killing my father and brothers." Mr. Marcus chuckled coldly, knowing from Alston Smith's panicked expression that it hit a nerve."Hmph, I never expected that woman to be so important to you, Marcus. After experiencing the events over a decade ago, you still managed to have a woman and a child. I must say, I am impressed. Have you ever considered how dirty you are...""You shut your mouth!"

    "Great publicity! So damn good!" Lionel clapped and laughed heartily. Aaron rolled his eyes at him, as Lionel, looking handsome and arrogant in the video, stood up and applauded. "Mr. Marcus sure has a talent for acting. He should go to the Oscars, it would be a waste otherwise."Derrick frowned. "Lionel, can't you say anything positive?

He clenched his bones as the extreme restraint made his face pale.This was his Henry!"I just received this. We're forbidden from using our connections to help you," Victor said in a low voice, his voice slightly tense as he struggled to restrain his anger. "Mr. Marcus, they're in the dark while we're in the light. Be prepared to fight alone."They held the lives of three members of the First Terrorist Organization: Henry, Camellia, and Rose. This was equivalent to severing the arm of the First Terrorist Organization. Victor couldn't ignore the three lives. He was also curious to know who could control the operations of the First Terrorist Organization so effortlessly."I understand!"

    "They saved me," said Saxon, with a cold laugh, "In fact, it was just a trap set by their brothers. They sent someone to ambush me while pretending to save me, successfully getting close to me. Their goal is the mafia, I'm not sure which faction they belong to.""You're really dumb," Camellia retorted. If it were Victor or Robin, this wouldn't have happened. Their core organization doesn't allow outsiders to invade easily, no matter how much trust there is.Saxon's defeat in just a few months was greatly influenced by his misjudgment of people."I admit defeat in this move," Saxon said solemnly. "Just go ahead and kill me."Camellia looked at him and smiled, "My dear brother, if I kill you, my nephew will come after me. Your life should be taken by his own hands, that's what you owe him."Desperate, Saxon closed his eyes and whispered, "Camellia, please fulfill my request, considering we're siblings.""Even if you may be my father, I won't fulfill your request," Camellia said firmly.

And when Mr. Marcus arrived, he could deliver the final blow.Just as he thought that, the ship stopped, and Saxon roared, "What's going on?""Oh, nothing much. They were tired, so I let them rest forever." A dark figure leaped effortlessly onto the deck, her long hair flowing and her black bodysuit accentuating her seductive figure, her eyebrows exuding absolute icy firmness.Saxon called out in disbelief, "Jessica, you..."She opened her mouth, moved her lips, spat out a voice changer, and tore off the mask on her face, revealing a stunningly alluring face in front of Saxon.He was greatly surprised, but she smiled enchantingly, "My dearest big brother, you could disguise as my Brother Marcus, so why can't I disguise as my brother-in-law?

    On the cruise ship out at sea.Jessica tried to move her wrist, but the handcuffs were tight, with long shackles on her feet, trailing chains on the ground, giving the room a particularly gloomy atmosphere. She smiled as she glanced around the room; it was actually quite a nice room, decorated luxuriously and comfortably. She thought to herself, that maybe if Saxon had tied her to the bed, she could have had a peaceful sleep.Her face was pale, breathing seemed a bit difficult, gasping continuously, yet she coldly laughed. Raising her hand, she knocked heavily on the cabin door. As expected, the door opened shortly after, and a tall figure appeared in the doorway, stepping inside.Blonde hair, blue eyes, with a menacing aura that seemed to suffocate, as if ready to destroy the entire world. Such a presence would make anyone feel scared.Jessica, however, smiled, appearing very calm with her usual smile, her gaze passing over him as she said, "Saxon, weren't you in Colombia planning to

    Marcus slammed the door shut, and pressed his hand against it, hands supporting the door, his gaze darkly fixed on her. Jessica tried to stay calm but felt her heart racing.She couldn't meet Mr. Marcus's eyes directly, so her gaze shifted, each movement making him breathe a bit harder. She calmly lowered her eyes, ready to listen to his scolding.For a while, Mr. Marcus didn't say a word, his imposing demeanor making Jessica nervous.Finally, Jessica blurted out, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you, but you can't blame me for this. Henry asked why he didn't have a dad. I couldn't possibly tell him that you're the child of a one-night stand with a stranger, right? That would be devastating for the kid. So I had to come up with this cheesy love story. Who knew you actually got into an accident and lost your memory? Henry had already told you about the cheesy drama in advance, so I just went along with the flow. It was really just an accident, I swear.""You had plenty of chances t

    It was his mother's death anniversary that day, and feeling upset, Mr. Marcus went to the bar alone after visiting the grave. Someone approached him, but he turned them down. In such moments, he had no peace of mind, but little did he know that he would meet her.She got drunk and staggered. He hurried over to help her, but she mistook him for a money boy. He was furious, feeling his pride was hurt. He was enraged, knowing she came looking for a man, and he wanted to strangle her.In his rage, that anger turned into desire.Furthermore, knowing she had been drugged fueled his anger even more. He was angry at her, frustrated with her.

    On that day, Jessica flipped through the guest list for the wedding invitations and couldn't find Quincy's name. She raised an eyebrow and asked Henry, "How long has it been since you talked to Uncle Quincy?""Long time," Henry chuckled. "Mom, you also need to send invitations to the uncles and aunts on Grandpa's side. Why not send one to Uncle Quincy too?"Jessica nodded, hesitated for a moment, then decided to have Camellia drive her to meet Quincy at the park in front of the Lee Family's house.Michael Lee had been in the hospital for a while, feeling down ever since the case with Diana Brown. He had lost his former dominance and charisma; the once mighty business tycoon had fallen, his glory days long gone.Jessica felt sorry about the situation. If it weren't for what Michael Lee had done, she wouldn't have spoken so harshly that day. She only felt guilty towards Quincy.Quincy just smiled and didn't say much. There was a bit of awkwardness between them, not as warm as before, bu

    Herman shot her a look of anger, but Camellia wasn't afraid of him at all. The poor little brother, always overshadowed by his brother, how sad. Any woman who falls for him still has to compete with his brother for attention, it's really a special kind of frustration.He was angry, and in the past, he would have definitely closed the video, out of sight out of mind. But today was different, he just stared at Camellia intensively.Suddenly, Camellia was curious about something, "Herman, do you have a brotherly love obsession?"If he answered yes, it would be quite interesting. She felt chaotic just thinking about it. She and Rose had also been suspected of having a lesbian relationship, and now with a pair of brothers who seem to have a homosexual relationship. Wow!"What do you mean by a brotherly love obsession?" Herman questioned.Camellia replied with a mischievous tone, "It means you look at your brother and wonder if you want to pounce on him and violate him."Rose's face darkene

    After a while, there was no response from the other end.Camellia calculated the time—it was early morning in Colombia, so he shouldn't be so easily provoked to find a woman to solve his desire. Whether he understood sex was still a problem.She deliberately teased him and let him stew in anticipation."Uncle, it's been a while, and he hasn't responded," Henry said. "Maybe Herman has bled so much from his nose he passed out?"Rose chuckled. "Maybe he is having sex with a beauty."Rose nudged Camellia playfully. "Camellia, don't overdo it. You might regret it later."Camellia waved her hand, smiling without saying a word, then typed on the keyboard: "Herman, how's my figure?"After a while, there was some movement on the line, and unexpectedly, a naked picture of Herman was sent over. It was artistically shot, but his expressionless face still exuded a sinister air.Camellia, "..."Rose, "..."Henry covered his face and wailed, "Uncle-in-law, please consider the innocence of minors...

    "Are you happy?" Mr. Marcus released her swollen lips from their embrace, with a smile. Whether she was happy or not was his top concern.She nodded, extremely happy.She could cherish this moment for a lifetime."As long as you're happy, darling. Henry and Camellia will arrive the day after tomorrow. They'll stay until our wedding and honeymoon. You'll be even happier," Mr. Marcus said with a smile. In the afternoon, Henry had already informed him online that he and Camellia would arrive on different flights but on the same day."Really?" Jessica's face lit up with surprise, pouting, "Henry is biased. He told you, but not me. So unfair."Mr. Marcus chuckled, "I and he need to discuss some matters.""Hmph!" Miss Jessica pouted unhappily.Mr. Marcus smiled, holding her, feeling content.She suddenly thought of something, "If you went to such great lengths for a proposal, our wedding will be like...even more sensational?""You don't need to worry about that, just put on the wedding dres
