Suddenly, Gabriel realized the child wasn't his.He got all worked up for nothing.Despite that, he found himself genuinely glad for Natalie.Smiling, he quickly headed back towards the clinic.In the hall, Margot found Curtis and Anthony working on arranging the mourning hall for Regina.They were also setting up the mourning hall for Frederick and Daniel.Seeing Margot approach, Curtis approached her and asked, "How's Natalie? Is she alright?"Margot nodded. "She's fine."She moved to Regina's casket and gazed at the peaceful figure inside. She then spoke softly with tears in her eyes. "Mom, I have some good news. You're going to be a grandmother. Natalie is not only pregnant, but she's expecting twins. Mom, I hope you're as happy to hear this as we are."Curtis was astonished."Natalie is pregnant?"Margot nodded. "Yes, it's confirmed. They're twins."Curtis let out a sigh of relief.This news was a pleasant surprise for everyone.Perhaps the arrival of the babies woul
However, Calvin was hesitant to speak his mind.He feared that making such a decision would disappoint Frederick and the ancestors of the Morris family.Natalie gently withdrew her hand and gently carressed his face."Cal, I will take good care of myself and the babies. You don't have to worry about that. But I need to rest and protect the babies now. I won't be able to accompany you to escort Mom back to Emeria."Calvin quickly reassured her. "We won't be going back for now. Royce has rebelled and taken control of Dad's key subordinates. If we return, we'll have to confront him. I don't want to go anywhere right now. I just want to stay with you and the babies. Don't worry too much. Just take good care of yourself and the babies."Natalie nodded.Calvin thought that the servants should have bought the ingredients by now. He stood up, tucked the blanket around Natalie, and gently kissed her forehead."Get some rest. I'll go prepare some food for you and the babies."Natalie nod
After hearing what Laura said, Anthony appeared disdainful and said, "For all these years, if it weren't because of the Morris family, do you think your family would be enjoying such wealth and comfort you have today?"Now that the country is peaceful, he wants his power back? In his dreams." Anthony looked at Calvin and said, "Ignore what Laura said. We don't have to negotiate with Royce. He doesn't even have the right to negotiate with us. I'll settle this.""Uncle Anthony, please don't." With teary eyes, Laura looked at Anthony and pleaded earnestly, "Please just let us go. With the power the Morris family has now, there's no need to keep us under your control."In the end, you all would be exhausted, and we would also be humiliated. I'm begging you, can you please give him one more chance?"Anthony remained hard-hearted and unaffected by the pleading and begging.Laura knew that it was the hardest to convince Anthony, so she turned to look at Curtis. "Curt, please help me
Calvin looked at Anthony and said, "Get ready, we're leaving immediately.""Okay." Anthony put away the military seal and turned to leave the study.…Margot heard that Laura had arrived, so she quickly came out of Natalie's room to look for her. Just as she arrived at the main hall of the Crosby residence, she ran into Laura, who was running downstairs in tears.Margot called out to her, "Aunt Laura..."When Laura saw Margot, sheimmediately ran toward her. She held Margot tightly and cried even harder."Margot, please save my mother and me. Please ask your brothers to hold back against Uncle Royce. He just wants to reclaim the power that rightfully belongs to the royal family. Can you ask your brother and the others to let him off? I'm begging you, Margot."Margot didn't know that Laura had come to help make peace. She thought Laura was just here for a casual visit. She was stunned when she heard what the young lady said.Laura held Margot's hand and kept crying. "Considering
On the stairs, Curtis replied, "Royce wants Calvin to sign an agreement that prohibits interference with royal affairs for 100 years, which essentially acknowledges the independence of the Emeria royalty. In the future, the Morris family will have no rights except for occupying that piece of land for living in Emeria."Curtis walked down the stairs, approached Margot, and said to her with a firm gaze, "I understand that you feel conflicted because of what Aunt Laura said, but you don't need to get involved in this matter. Let Calvin and the others handle it themselves."Laura was very angry and immediately shouted, "Curtis, how could you do this? After all the care I gave you back then, what are you doing now? Do you really want Uncle Calvin and his family to forever keep our royal family from holding its head high?"Why? Why did the royal family have to live in the shadow of the Morris family for their entire lives? Laura couldn't understand why it had to be that way.She started
Calvin turned to Laura and said, "Go tell your uncle that he should find the missing plane and identify the cause of the accident. I'll let him off the hook after he provides the Morris family with an explanation."Right now, the authority of Emeria was in Royce's hands. Since the Morris family's plane had crashed in Emeria's airspace, it was up to him to handle the situation.If Royce couldn't handle it properly, then Calvin would have to take care of it himself.But as for the agreement, there was no room for negotiation.Seeing that the others had compromised, Laura knew she couldn't push further. She nodded in agreement."Alright, I'll tell Uncle Royce."Turning to Margot, Laura took her hand. With tears welling up in her eyes, she said gratefully, "Margot, thank you. You're such a good person. I believe that heaven will surely bless you."Margot gently squeezed her hand in return and asked with concern, "Are you leaving right away? Why not stay a few more days?"Laura shoo
Upon returning to Emeria royalty, Laura immediately went to see Royce.Royce dismissed everyone around him, leaving only Laura in the room. His heart filled with unease as he asked, "How did it go? Are they willing to sign the peace agreement?"Without saying a word, Laura handed over a recording.She had been worried she wouldn't be able to accurately relay the messages from the Morris family and worried that Royce might not trust her. So, from the moment she entered the manor, she started recording everything.Royce glanced at Laura. Then, he took the recording and pressed play.In no time, the voices of Calvin, Anthony, and Curtis came through.In the first half, Laura's attempt at negotiation failed.Then, Margot's voice appeared in the latter half.Royce, already feeling tense, felt his heart tighten even further at that moment.As he listened to Margot pleading with Calvin and Anthony on his behalf, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him.Royce had always though
No matter how powerful the Morris family was, they could not find even a single piece of plane wreckage.Royce had never thought that his plan would backfire and ultimately cause his own downfall.He definitely wouldn't be able to meet Anthony and Calvin's order in a month's time. By then, both of them would surely utilize their military seal to reclaim Emeria in the most brutal and violent way.Alexander was nearby, and he came over with information. "Duke Evans."Royce absentmindedly lifted his head and looked over.Alexander stepped forward with a stern expression and reported, "The Morris family's men are monitoring all perimeters of Emeria. There is no way for us to go out and seek help. If we really end up fighting, we won't stand a chance at all."Considering the safety of the people, the Morris family definitely wouldn't resort to using force easily.Alexander hoped that Royce could negotiate peace with the Morris family. After all, they were all Emerians; there was no n
