The planes soon landed, all touching down in the castle.Victor, Camellia, Rose, and the others were there, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Mr. Marcus and Jessica were safe."Brother Marcus, Sister-in-law, you two look quite disheveled..." Camellia laughed. "Brother Marcus, I should capture this moment for posterity.""You little rascal," Mr. Marcus laughed and teased back. Knowing that Camellia, Rose, and Henry were all fine put his mind at ease.Henry eagerly wanted to hug Jessica but was firmly halted by her. It then dawned on him that his mommy carried a virus. Panther had already mentioned it. As he looked at his parents' hands clasped together, his heart sank slightly."Dad, Mom, you both... Antonio, could you check on them quickly?" Henry's first instinct was to turn to Antonio. After all, he was the Miracle Doctor; there was no illness he couldn't cure."Got it, got it, don't worry," Antonio chuckled."A virus?" A tall, blond, blue-eyed hunk blinked. "Snow
After a detailed examination and blood analysis by Antonio, his usually composed face bore an unusual gravity, giving Henry a sense of foreboding.Back when Jessica was hit and infected, the doctors said she'd need an amputation to survive. Antonio didn't even spare her a glance, leaving with a sarcastic remark, striding into the lab. It seemed as if there were no illnesses in the world that Miracle Doctor Antonio couldn't handle. Last year, Victor got shot 23 times, but Antonio didn't bat an eyelid. He remained calm and collected. In his field, he was a legend. There shouldn't be any illness that troubled him.Yet this time, as Truman predicted, the virus wasn't Antonio's forte. The grave expression on his face hinted at trouble. Truman patted Antonio's shoulder sympathetically, expressing his understanding."You've finally encountered a tough case. It's rare," Truman said, friendly yet sardonic. "Like when Henry's computer skills were outmatched by the Duncan and Herman duo."Antoni
At noon, five fighter jets took off from the castle, and three helicopters ascended into the sky, all heading towards Melilla. Victor, Truman, and Robin were all on board.Actually, Victor could have handled this alone. There was hardly any challenge in the world that could make the three major terrorist leaders act together. Truman was bored, and so was Robin. Besides, the Mafia couldn't cause trouble at the moment; it was a time for recuperation. They just wanted to flex their muscles.In the research lab, chaos reigned. Over a dozen virus experts were in a state of panic.Antonio's expression was even more serious. For the first time, he seemed at a loss. His usually indifferent and aloof brows were almost knitted together."Mr. Antonio, who on earth developed this virus?" asked the head of the virus expert team. "I've been in this field for nearly 40 years, and I've never seen such a ruthless virus.""The Mafia's research," Antonio said, his eyes fixed tightly on the virus molecul
Rose pointed to Herman, who seemed ghost-like.Camellia's smile faded slightly, and she innocently asked, "Darling, who bullied you? Tell wifey, wifey will beat him up for you."Herman was quite amusing. He pointed straight at Camellia and complained bitterly, "Wifey, you bully me."Everyone else, "..."Marcus suppressed a smile, not wanting to undermine Camellia's authority. The innocent Herman was clearly Camellia's nemesis. All her tricks and schemes were useless against him; he was like a child, expressing his dissatisfaction with the most direct actions. He had no concept of subtlety.Camellia chuckled softly. "Are you saying you want me to beat myself up?"Herman, reluctant, stared daggers at her and rushed over, grabbing Camellia's sleeve and whining, "Wifey, who is he? Why are you so good to him? You're seducing him!"Camellia gently patted Herman's face and smiled alluringly. "Darling, how can you accuse wifey like that? He's hundreds of miles away from me. How could I seduce
They chatted and laughed all the way to Jeddah, where the plane landed on a private airstrip.It was an expansive estate, like an oasis, with vast date palm groves and dense clusters of palm trees. In the center of the courtyard, there was an exquisite fountain pool. The elegant villa courtyard was lush with various exotic flowers and grasses. The estate had an ancient feel, exuding a heavy sense of history. Crystal lotus petal chandeliers hung in the curved corridors, adding to the beauty. The walls were covered in ivy, giving a verdant feel.The maids who greeted them were all dressed in black robes, black veils, and black sandals, the typical Arabian attire. They led them to the hall.Camellia greeted them cheerfully, earning a light laugh from them. One of them chuckled in English, "Master is going to have a headache again."Despite the scorching summer heat in Jeddah, the hall was refreshingly cool. Antonio, with his keen observation, noticed that the walls were carved from jade
"Auntie, looks like your charm ain't cutting it anymore.""Nonsense. Look at this one, still completely charmed by me." Camellia gestured towards Herman with a charming smile. Her charm worked its magic on Herman.Grabbing Camellia's hand, Herman asked, "Wifey, didn't you say he's not as good-looking as me? Didn't you dump him a long time ago? Why are you getting close to him? You're lying to me.""As friends, it's been so long since we've seen each other. It's normal for me to miss him. Hugging is just basic courtesy, understand?" Camellia replied smoothly.Shaking his head, Herman pointed at Rose. "She didn't go hug him."Antonio and Henry suppressed a smile, while Rose gave a cold snort.Camellia played along, "Look at Rose, as cold as ice, who has she ever hugged? You'd have to be suicidal to let her hug you. How can you compare your wife to Rose?""Wifey, just stay like Rose. No need to be too friendly. I don't like it," Herman said gloomily, his mood dampened and his vibrant pur
Edward nodded, a hint of pain crossing his cold gaze, almost too quick to catch. "My grandfather developed NV-1966 when he was young. At the time, my grandmother had liver cancer, and my grandfather was researching cell viruses to treat it. He locked himself in the lab, and nobody knew about it, because he knew the dangers of unleashing such a virus. However, an apprentice stole it and it fell into the hands of criminals, causing tens of thousands of deaths in the entire town of Siberia. He regretted it deeply. He dedicated his life to researching a cure for the 1966 virus, and only in his later years did he succeed. However, when we moved, some documents were left behind, and a few pages of the cure's records were missing. I have to take some time to fill in the gaps. Though the principles are the same, this particular strain is more complex. At the moment, I only have a rough idea, and I need to confirm it before testing it on you."Mr. Marcus looked at Edward, smiling calmly and fr
Edward remained calm, not even raising an eyebrow. "Ridiculous."Herman innocently looked at Camellia, fearing her anger, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Honey, please don't be mad. Trust me, I love you the most and would never look elsewhere."Rose awkwardly looked away, her shoulders shaking as if trying to contain a burst of laughter. Miss Jessica calmly grabbed the tablecloth, nearly bursting into laughter, and Mr. Marcus's eyes twitched, wanting to laugh but feeling it was not proper. After all, Edward was the host, and they were guests.Henry choked on his coconut milk, spraying it in a new direction and coughing continuously."Ha ha..." In the eerie silence, only Antonio burst out laughing. He was usually carefree and indifferent, so this display of mirth was quite unexpected.Edward's eyebrow quirked in a slow, deliberate motion as his sharp gaze passed over Antonio. He then casually sipped his coffee.Herman, still oblivious to the consequences of his actions, innocently looke
"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.
There were only five people on the ship.Saxon stood alone on the deck, gazing intensely at the sea, his desire to kill growing stronger. To avoid accidents, he should kill her now. 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? How about that, I think I nailed the act, right? Forgot to tell yo
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. He couldn't understand why he had such strong impulses towards a woman he hardly knew.Maybe it was the moment of palpitations at the beach or the moment of heart fluttering when she looked up at him as he held her.That night, he lost control.But who would have known that when he woke up the next day, there was a note at the head of his bed with $100 an
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
