As Adrian's voice dwindled, a sinister smile formed across his face.

Without warning, he issued a bone-chilling order in Balanese to those standing close, "Cut off the limbs of these individuals and dispose of them in the ocean to feed the fish."

Truly, the depth of Adrian's malice and cruelty knew no bounds.

Despite the hesitance visible among those on the deck, Adrian's accomplices began to escort the victims away.

Soon after, sporadic cries of anguish resonated from the cabin, punctuated by the sound of splashing water.

Lana recognized the haunting echoes as the grim aftermath of bodies being discarded into the sea.

In a cruel twist of fate, the once-celebratory atmosphere aboard the cruise ship morphed into a scene of nightmarish horror.

Moments ago, the passengers were immersed in joy and festivities, believing they had secured favor with the royal lineage.

    Emilia exited Lana's suite and lightly knocked on the adjacent door, which Adrian promptly opened.Confidently, Emilia met Adrian's gaze. "The person is inside."Adrian expressed his gratitude with a nod. "I appreciate your help this time."Emilia shook her head, a smile gracing her lips. "Truth be told, I merely placed my bet on basic human instincts. No mother could passively witness someone hurling curses at her child without taking a stand."Adrian remained silent, engrossed in his phone. "I've transferred the promised amount to your designated account. From now on, you're a free woman."Emilia's phone chimed with a timely notification sound as a message arrived. She casually waved her phone in her hand and said, "Thanks."Without sparing another glance her way, Adrian headed toward Lana's room.At that moment, Emilia drew closer. "However, I haven't decided to leave the ship just yet."Assuming Emilia hadn't secured a hiding place, Adrian chose not to dwell on it. Silently

    As Emilia's words dissipated, a military knife suddenly appeared in her hand. With a swift motion, she aggressively slashed it toward Lana.Lana swiftly spun, adeptly evading Emilia's blade."Emilia, remember, we're on Adrian's ship now," Lana cautioned.Adrian had gone to great lengths to bring Lana aboard, and his reluctance to harm her emphasized Lana's profound significance in his heart.If Emilia were to inflict any harm on Lana, Adrian would undoubtedly react with severe consequences.Lana's words acted as both a reminder and a warning to Emilia."Lana, stop the pretense," Emilia, determined to eliminate Lana, countered, "I don't need your reminder to grasp how much Adrian loves you."Why is life so unfair? Why do remarkable men always seem drawn to you? What makes me less than you?"

    Emilia sneered, "There's no antidote. Even if you kill me, it won't matter!"Adrian and his entourage didn't believe Emilia's bold assertion. A subtle nod from Adrian prompted one of his henchmen to stealthily close in on Emilia.In an instant, a sharp glint filled the air, swiftly followed by Emilia's harrowing scream of torment.Moments later, Lana saw two delicate, pink fragments falling to the floor before her—grim remnants of Emilia's severed ears.Overwhelmed by agony, Emilia clutched her wounds, momentarily succumbing to unconsciousness. Yet, her respite was short-lived, as Adrian's men promptly splashed her with water to revive her.The cold water intensified her pain, eliciting yet another anguished cry from Emilia."Do you wish to reconsider your stance?"

    Adrian's expression darkened. With a fleeting, concerned glance in Lana's direction, he promptly directed his men to escort Emilia to the deck.On the surface, Emilia's prior confession and surrender of the antidote seemed to clear her of any blame for today's grim events.Yet, an uneasy suspicion continued to gnaw at Adrian. He couldn't dispel the nagging doubt that perhaps Emilia had exploited some unforeseen loophole.Moments later, she was brought onto the deck.The aftermath of the previous day's events was evident in her battered form.Both her ears were now missing, and her face, once dignified and radiant, bore the cruel marks of a savage assault, rendering her almost unrecognizable.As Emilia's eyes darted around the deck, she caught the intense, hostile stares from Adrian and his men.Not far from where she stood, two lifeless bodies lay sprawled, their faces still stained with fresh, crimson blood—a grim testament to their recent demise.Before Emilia could voice a s

    Upon hearing Mandy's remark, a wave of melancholy washed over the others.In this moment of vulnerability, Violet reached out and delicately clasped Mandy's hand."Your success has been hard-earned. Lana has been your anchor through thick and thin. Sharing this milestone with her is only natural," Violet whispered.Mandy nodded appreciatively, reflecting, "Lana's unwavering faith in me propelled me forward.

If Lana truly came looking for him, why hadn't they seen her?"Leo, you might be young, but that doesn't mean you can tell lies!" Liam took Leonardo from Mandy's arms, studying his eyes intently, attempting to discern any signs of dishonesty.Yet, Leonardo seemed oblivious to the gravity of the situation, casually continuing, "Mommy used to say Dad was kind of a jerk and told me not to pick up any of his habits when I got older."This time, both Liam and Mandy were left speechless, a chill running down their spines.Previously, they might have dismissed Leonardo's words as mere childish fantasies, but now, those statements couldn't be casually brushed aside.Considering Leonardo's tender age and the distinguished upbringing in the respected Garrison, Ka

Their familiar faces registered a look of sheer astonishment.Mandy was on the verge of tears, careful not to disturb Leonardo.

    Would Lana forgive him and spend the rest of her life with him?Liam's heart was filled with a sense of anticipation.Since the reason for the incident had been clarified, everyone let out a sigh of relief at the same time and also went back to rest. Even Leonardo was taken away just to give the two people who had been apart for a long time some space to be alone.After everyone had left, Liam straightened out his clothes and approached Lana, then proceeded to slowly crouch down."Lana!"In the man's deep and sexy voice, there was an unusual tremor and a hint of choked emotion.Liam had no idea what kept him going during these years after losing Lana.Liam didn't dare to do anything too bold.

    Liam's outstretched hand awkwardly hung in the air, and eventually, he could only withdraw it."Speak up if you have something to say, or else, stay quiet. We're not in the mood to listen to you." Hector's attitude toward Liam was still unfavorable, to the extent that he didn't even want to see him.Lana suddenly said, "Something very serious actually happened today."Following that, she placed Leonardo down and showed everyone the wound on his neck.A ring of red marks surrounded Leonardo's delicate neck. In some places, the marks were so swollen that it looked like a tire had been wrapped around his neck. It was a shocking sight to behold.Hector, Violet, Mandy, and Romelius were immediately enraged."What happened to Leo?""What happened to his neck? It could have been fatal if it was any worse.""Who was responsible for watching Leo today?

    "Stop looking at me like that. If you want to kill or torture me, go ahead." Cynthia knew what would happen to her after the truth came out, so she gave up struggling. "However, even after my death, I'll haunt you for the rest of your life!"As they listened to her absurd threat, Lana and the Traffic Light Trio burst into laughter."If ghosts were real, then Emilia would be the first to look for you."When her deceased sister was mentioned, Cynthia's smile remained unchanged. "That fool probably never knew it was me who betrayed her until her death."Considering the situation, Cynthia didn't believe she could leave the Garrison Villa tonight."What exactly do you gain by single-handedly destroying the Cooper family?"Lana was still very confused by Cynthia's actions.After all, Emilia and Cynthia were twins and had the same blood coursing through their veins.

    On the evening of the banquet, the Garrison Villa was bustling with distinguished guests.Initially, everyone's attention was on the precious great-grandson of the Garrison and Kane family.

Everyone was naturally curious about who the child might have chosen as his stepmother.It should be noted that the Garrison and Kane family only had one great-grandson. His future was destined to be extraordinary. As long as one could control the child, it was much more worthwhile than dealing with those individuals from the two affluent families.After all, the elders from the two families were very attentive and doting toward this child.

    On the night before the banquet, Romelius and Mandy finally brought Leonardo back.Lana was overjoyed, and she immediately went to the bungalow where they were staying.At that time, Leonardo had just returned home and was playing with toys on the living room floor."Leo, you're back! Did you miss Mommy? Mommy missed you so much!"Lana ran toward Leonardo, talking to him while reaching out to hug him. In a flash, Leonardo suddenly ran toward Romelius while holding a toy car.After that, he kept hiding in his arms, refusing to come out. He would occasionally peek out from the gaps to glance at Lana.His actions clearly showed that he refused to accept Lana.Lana's enthusiasm was dampened, and her outstretched arms awkwardly remained in midair.

All of them were busy scurrying around and helping Hector deliver the invitations.In addition to people who had business dealings with the Garrison family, the invitations were naturally sent to people who were familiar with Lana in the past. Therefore, as soon as the Traffic Light Trio received the invitation, they didn't even go to work and immediately ran to Liam's office—intending to get an explanation from him.At that time, Liam had just finished a phone call from overseas and was deep in thought when the office door was suddenly kicked open.Lincoln stood at the door, looking

    Liam sensed a challenging undertone in Lana's stare. After all this time, had they truly become adversaries?Releasing Lana abruptly, Violet gently patted her arm, her eyes filled with profound hurt."You're here, alive and well. Why did you leave us in the shadows? Even if you chose not to contact anyone else, you should've considered reaching out to me. Do you have any idea how much I missed you?"Over the years, Violet had been grappling with a deep sense of loss.Though it remained an unspoken sentiment among them, Violet was aware of the underlying blame directed toward Liam for what was believed to be Lana's demise.Had Liam been more emotionally available, their relationship wouldn't have crumbled. It would've stopped Lana from seeking refuge overseas while carrying their child, an act that set the stage for her heartbreaking destiny.Witnessing Liam's anguish and believing Lana to be lost forever had taken a severe toll on Violet's health, aging her considerably."Gr

"Leo, you should be calling me 'Mommy'!" she gently corrected him.Leonardo hesitated momentarily before redirecting his attention to Liam.Even though Liam hadn't exchanged a single word with Lana, he spoke up when Leo glanced his way, firmly stating, "Feel free to do as you wish. There's no need to seek my approval.
