Lena got out of the car and looked at the intricately carved fountain beside her, feeling quite amazed.Looking again at the big house ahead, she admitted to herself that she was jealous.No wonder Regina doesn't allow ordinary women to marry her son.For a castle like this, the people who can live in it were naturally those born into nobility, raised in privileged environments, and were well-versed in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and other refined arts.What surprised her even more was that when the castle gates opened, dozens of young girls dressed as maids walked out in unison.They lined up in two rows, hands crossed in front of their stomachs as they said in unison, "Welcome back, Ms. Stone, Mr. Morris, and Ms. Lemia."Lena felt a bit embarrassed by the whole situation.She quickly moved closer to Margot.Margot took her hand and said, "You don't need to worry about it."In fact, for Margot, it took a lot of courage for her to let go of the past and forget
After hearing Lena's question, Anthony looked at her and, without thinking much, said, "Not far, it's just next door. Why do you ask?"Lena laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just find it surprising that in the 21st century there are still countries with royal families. I've only ever seen them on TV.""The royal family is probably similar to ordinary families, right?" she asked.Anthony nodded. "Yeah, there's no real difference. They just believe they're of noble blood and think they're superior from the moment they're born."Lena went silent, lowered her head, and quietly ate her food.Curtis, who was observing Lena’s subtle reactions, suddenly wondered why she had come to Emeria to find Anthony.And she was so curious about the royal family too.Could that golden pendant have something to do with her?However, Curtis kept his suspicions to himself and didn't voice them.After the meal, and feeling tired from the flight, the three of them went to rest in their rooms.Margot
Anthony felt like the pain was almost unbearable.If she doesn't help him soon, he'll pass out.Lena was somewhat speechless.Right now, she felt quite embarrassed to approach him, although she had done something like this before.But back then, she was fearless and naïve, completely unaware of the complexities between men and women. She was solely focused on treating and saving people, with no stray thoughts.But now...Anthony saw her standing still in a daze and shouted with a frown, "Honey, please help me, I really can't take it anymore!"Lena said, "Then take off your pants."Anthony wailed, "I can't do it, I don't have the strength."He couldn't even take off his pants, so he must be in a lot of pain.Fine, she'll handle it.Lena pulled down his trousers, leaving him in his underwear. She then raised her hand, pressing around until she found the acupuncture point, and started inserting the silver needles.Anthony was really in a lot of pain.Even with Lena's hand on
Calvin immediately looked at Curtis and asked, "Did Natalie come too?"Curtis shook his head. "She didn't come. The doctor advised her to rest during her pregnancy, and said that she shouldn't fly. I came with Margot and Lena."Calvin felt a bit disappointed at first, but then thought that it was great that Margot was here too.He glanced around and, not seeing Lena and Margot, immediately asked, "Where are they?""After traveling for a long time, they were exhausted. They're resting in their rooms now,” Curtis said.Calvin asked, "Have you eaten?""Yes, I have.""Alright, you take a seat. I'll call Natalie."Thinking about how Natalie must be feeling lonely by herself because she didn't come over, Calvin quickly made a phone call to comfort her.Curtis sat next to him, handling the document that Chester had sent him on his phone.After ending the phone call, Calvin asked Curtis, "Would you like me to show you around?"Although the Morris residence wasn't an ancient building
If she hadn't gone missing, she would still be the cherished gem of this family.So why did she blame her parents, and why did she resent her mom for what happened in the past?But what was the use of finally understanding now? The dead can never come back.Even though she had forgiven them, she could never see them again."Mom, Dad, Daniel..."Margot choked up, feeling more and more distressed the longer she looked at the tombstones.When Curtis and Calvin arrived, they quickly went up to help her."Margot, don't cry anymore."Curtis gently held her close, wiping away her tears while comforting her."Just pay your respects to them, don't make yourself ill from crying too much."Margot had just recovered from a serious illness. What if she fainted again due to excessive grief?"Yes, don't cry too much and hurt yourself. Let's go outside first."Calvin helped his sister get up.Margot was still in a state of grief and wasn't able to pull herself together just yet.Curtis s
At 10:00 pm.The car belonging to the Morris family drove through the gates of the Emeria royalty estate.The helpers quickly ran to Pamela's bedroom, bowed their heads, and reported, "Viscountess, someone from the Morris family has arrived."Pamela holds the noble title of Viscountess, which is two ranks lower than Royce's title.In the vast royal palace, the helpers now refer to the royals by their titles rather than calling them prince or princess.Pamela, still mourning the loss of her younger brother and sister-in-law, clenched her teeth in bitterness when she heard the words "the Morris family"."If they already have all the power, why would they come here?""I'm not sure about that either, but I think you should go greet them.""I'm going."Laura, who was sitting next to her mother, suddenly stood up, her face filled with anger."I want to kill the people of the Morris family to avenge Uncle Royce."Pamela quickly held her back, saying, "Alright, you stay in the bedch
She got up and followed Anthony. As they passed by Pamela, she couldn't help but take another look at her.Pamela was also watching her, feeling that her features were incredibly familiar. When she came closer, there was an irresistible sense of closeness about her.Pamela was about to ask who she was, but when she saw Lena walk past her and follow Anthony, she didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she turned to Calvin and said, "What? Do you think my status as royalty is some kind of tourist attraction? You're just bringing people over as you please to take a look?"Curtis quickly said, "I'm just here to visit you and my aunt with Margot.""Shut up." Pamela glared at Curtis."Don't mention your aunt. After all the love I gave you back then, this is how you repay me? By siding with outsiders to bully our royal family?"Curtis seemed to be on the verge of saying something but hesitated.He felt it was too troublesome to explain things to her, so he didn't bother and just s
Once the two helpers heard Lena was from the Morris family, they quickly reported in fear, "Yes, Ms. Laura is inside."Lena frowned and asked, "Laura? Laura Crosby?"In the past, she used to hear Margot talk about this girl who was just in her teens. Both Margot and Curtis had to address her as their aunt according to their relationship.The two helpers quickly responded, "Yes, Ms. Laura Crosby."Lena quickly said, "Open the door. I need to see her."The two helpers exchanged glances, hesitant to open the door.However, Lena was related to the great Morris family, and no one dared to go against them. The helpers still did what they were told.Lena then walked in.The bedroom was extremely spacious.She looked around for a while, then walked towards a large bed which she saw in a distance.Laura thought Pamela returned, so she hurriedly ran out of the washroom, calling, "Mom…"When she saw that it wasn't Pamela but a stranger, she froze and sized her up."Who are you? Who al
Curtis didn't argue with her, and instead, he took her hand and led her inside.Margot noticed that despite Curtis' stern demeanor, he still showed care for her through his actions. She smiled knowingly and playfully asked while walking beside him, "What, can't find me at certain times and you're worried I ran off with someone else?"Curtis glanced at her and scoffed."Would you dare? If you dare run off with someone else, I'll break your legs."Despite speaking harsh words, the expression on the face and the gaze in the eyes directed at Margot were so gentle, it seemed as if they could bring forth tears.Margot listened to his violent words and stared at him, "Say it again, whose legs are you going to break?"Curtis was standing there. Although he still had a bit of presence, his facial expression already showed defeat.Before he could try to please his wife again, Margot had already brushed past him and slipped through the mansion's front doors.While running, he shouted, "An
So Gabriel had to personally drive her wherever she needed to go.Curtis listened to the two people and narrowed his eyes again."Who else?""Anthony."Anthony?Curtis was momentarily taken aback.Then, he saw Anthony coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a plate, and walking into the dining room.He set down his coat and told Luna, "You sit, I'll go help.""Go ahead."Curtis followed into the kitchen and saw that Anthony and Gabriel were acting as if they were in their own home, helping themselves to whatever they wanted to eat and making it themselves.He also felt a bit embarrassed and walked over, saying, "It's not right to have you cook since you're visiting, let me do it instead."Gabriel glanced at him and said, "We all treat you like one of us, so why are you being so formal with us?"Anthony responded, "I'm making it for my wife, after all, she only eats the food that I make."Curtis shook his head helplessly.They were showing off their relatio
Margot and Lena turned their heads at the same time.Jordan was dressed in a British-style uniform with a backpack. At eight years old, he stood around four feet tall. His smile was like a little ray of sunshine and could really brighten anyone's day.He shouted, "Mom, Aunt Lena, did you come specifically to pick me up?"Every time Margot heard Jordan call her "mom," it filled her heart with warmth.She raised her hand to give him a hug, gently ruffled his hair, and said, "Of course I'm here to pick you up, get in the car.""It's been a month since I last saw you, and you've grown taller."Lena pulled Jordan onto the vehicle and started driving.Sitting in the car, Jordan couldn't help but smile as he looked at his senior.Lena looked at him and smiled, "Living here, how does it compare to being up in the mountains?"Jordan's eyes landed on Margot, filled with warmth and joy."Wherever my mom and dad are, I feel is the best place. Of course, I'm not saying that being with Mas
Margot greeted them with a smile, saying, "I thought you two would be quietly enjoying your romantic time at the estate. I didn't expect you'd come over to see us!"Lena reached out and gently pinched Louis' round cheeks, then looked at Margot and said, "You keep saying that, but you're not working, so why don't you come visit us?""I'm at home taking care of the kids. You have no idea how challenging it is.""Heh, you're just unfairly blaming Louis. Our little Louis is clearly very well-behaved."Lena ignored Margot and couldn't help but give Louis a couple of kisses after picking him up.Anthony walked over and asked, "Where is everyone else?"Margot motioned for them to come over and sit down, then poured them some water."Natalie just had her baby not long ago, and my in-laws went with Natalie's parents and the others to visit the babies, and they're also going to visit Dad."Whenever Anthony talked about his oblivious elderly father, he got frustrated.He didn't ask any m
Frederick, exuding the presence of the head of the family, welcomed the arriving in-laws with a smile.Afterwards, he behaved well and didn't mention anything about Yasmine, nor did he cause any trouble with his sons.The in-laws were very careful not to mention Frederick's injury, as they didn't want to hurt his pride.Daniel saw how lively it was at home and decided to bring Ena's mother over so that the in-laws could take the opportunity to get to know each other better.In the days that followed, everyone got along very well.In Amberville, Alice Manor.Anthony and Lena were enjoying a peaceful and romantic time together here. No one was bothering them, and they were not going out to work.The two of them spent the entire day cozied up at home.It involved either snacking while watching a movie or playing games followed by some cuddling and kissing.Anthony often made delicious food for Lena and took care of her so well that she seemed completely pampered.This caused Len
"If you won't let me bring her into the family, fine, I'll set up a large estate elsewhere. When the time comes, I won't let you in either."Daniel felt that his father was quite childish.He chuckled and said, "How about this, once the guests leave, I'll take you back to Yasmine. Then you can tell her that you've cut all ties with us and you want nothing. At that point, Yasmine is still willing to stay by your side and take care of you, then we'll do as you wish. How about that?Regarding the greedy Coran siblings, it was important to know that their father didn't have anything valuable left on him, and they wouldn't gain any benefits either.It would be surprising if she still stayed by Frederick's side."Don't underestimate people; Yasmine's love for me is genuine."Frederick didn't want to bet with Daniel.Human nature was something that shouldn't be gambled on.Daniel laughed again. "Are you afraid of losing, Dad?"Frederick stared at Daniel and said, "When have I ever be
Yasmine was not happy when she heard she would be left alone.She knelt beside Frederick, holding his hand and pleading desperately, "Frederick, you can't do this. You can't leave me here alone. If you leave, they'll treat me badly again, just like before. Can you take me with you? Even if it's just to be your nanny, I'm begging you!"Frederick could not stand seeing women cry.When Yasmine pleaded like that, he softened and turned to look at Daniel.Daniel, with a blank expression, said, "Dad, do you really want your in-laws to see you like this?"Frederick also looked upset and said in a serious tone:"Couldn't you say she's my nanny? Who would know?""We have kids at home, do they lie?"Frederick had no choice but to turn to Yasmine and said, "Just stay here. They won’t dare bother you again. I'm leaving now."He raised his hand to signal Daniel to push the wheelchair.Daniel pushed the wheelchair forward.However, Yasmine was unwilling and tried to stop it again.The he
"Are we supposed to live here for the rest of our lives? Even if we have to stay here, at least give us the freedom to come and go as we please."Look at how they've sent so many people to watch over us again, clearly treating us like prisoners."Noticing that Frederick's expression was starting to soften, Yasmine continued to stoke the fire."Tell me, is there any way sons should be treating their father like this? They just want to drive you to your limits so they can split up your assets. Frederick, you can't let them have their way, or else you'll spend your whole life working tirelessly for them only to end up in such a miserable situation. How pitiable that would be.Frederick was speechless.He didn't want to go back. But if he did, his sons would have to treat him with great respect.He hoped that Calvin would bring the military seal, and it had been two days now, yet they still hadn't delivered it to him.Was he really planning on not giving it to him?As soon as he th
She ignored him, and Tommy didn't take the initiative to talk to her either to avoid making her overthink.After sitting in the living room for a while, he waited for all the members of the Crosby family to come downstairs. Once they did, he followed them to the dining room for a meal.As soon as Tommy arrived, Laura put down her fork, got up, and without looking back, said, "Enjoy your meal, I'm heading to the university.""Heading out so early?" Ashley asked.However, she didn't respond and slipped out the door directly.Elias said, "There's an exam coming up, so she's been very focused. She goes in early every day."Curtis and the others didn't seem to mind and invited Tommy to sit down.Only Margot knew why Laura walked so quickly.It was because Tommy was here.Laura had a crush on this big celebrity, and since she couldn't be with him, it was naturally difficult for her to interact with him further.So it was completely understandable that she avoided him whenever she s
