"Maybe it's just a way for us to trust Lena?"Calvin thought that it was pointless for them to speculate here.To uncover the truth of the matter, they had to find Branden.However, Branden was extremely elusive and unpredictable. They previously sent many people but failed, so finding him now would be just as challenging. The only breakthrough was through Lena.Calvin looked at Anthony and said, "You go find Lena and see if you can get any information from her."Anthony was still in a daze.He couldn't bring himself to believe that Lena was actually Yelena.Because of Royce, he lost his parents and Daniel.If that prophecy was true, didn't it mean that sooner or later he would die by her hand? Considering this, the Morris family could be wiped out."What are you standing around for? Go find Lena." Seeing Anthony frozen in place, looking both shocked and lost, Calvin urged him.Anthony, who took a while to react, turned and walked away unsteadily.He went to the royal place,
He threw Lena into the room and quickly locked the door behind him.Lena was furious and blushed, unsure of what he was planning to do next."What exactly do you want to do?""Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to Emeria?"Anthony avoided the question and his gaze turned ice-cold.Lena furrowed as she looked at him, and felt a sense of foreboding."I am just here to accompany Margot.""I'll ask you again, why did you come to Emeria?"Anthony's face was emotionless as he exuded a cold, imposing aura while steadily and forcefully closing in on Lena.Lena was forced to sit down on the bed in a panic, her eyes flickering with anxiety as she quickly turned her head to look elsewhere.Anthony stood in front of her, looking down at her as he said, "The reason you came to Emeria was to find your family, right? You know the viscountess is your sister and Royce is your brother, which is why you've been so distant with me, isn't it?"Lena was shocked and suddenly met Anthony's gaz
Anthony pushed her away and broke down. "Ah!""Anthony, don't do this…" Lena felt scared as it was the first time she saw him go crazy.She couldn't help but raise her hand to hug him, hoping to calm him down.This time, Anthony didn't push her away or scream. Instead, he couldn't help but lean against Lena's shoulder and burst into tears."Why are you Royce's sister? Why are you Yelena?"Now that you know your identity, are you planning to team up with your master to kill me and Calvin, so you can save the royal family and gain independence?"Lena, you mentioned before that you wanted to kill me. Is that true?"If she ever decided to kill him one day, Anthony admitted he wouldn't be able to fight back.From the moment he was with her, he knew he was completely captivated by her.It was unexpected that his love for Lena would ruin the Morris family. He felt sorry for Frederick, Regina, and Daniel."Do you think that I chose to be Yelena?"Lena also started to shed tears. She
In the room, they were kneeling on the floor while tears filled their eyes. Even though it was incredibly hard for them to part ways, they still had to do it.Anthony controlled his emotions, stood up, and reached out to help Lena.Lena placed her hand in his palm.Anthony helped her up and gently brushed away the tears on her cheek with his thumb. He gazed at her with a mix of tenderness and sorrow."You don't have to go. You have finally reunited with Laura, so stay with her at the royal residence, I won't harm you."Royce made a mistake, but neither he nor Calvin took it out on Lena or Laura. So, there was no way they would harm Lena, who knew nothing about it.As for that prophecy, Calvin might be right; it could very well be entirely orchestrated by Branden. But how could Lena possibly allow the Morris family to be destroyed?She was so kind-hearted that even if he gave her a sharp weapon and aimed it at his chest, she might not hurt him at all.Anthony couldn't control
"Where are you going?" Margot asked."I am going home," Lena said as she walked past Margot, which left her in complete confusion.She quickly glanced at Anthony in the room, then hurried over to ask, "Anthony, what did you do to Lena this time? How did you end up making her cry again?"Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Anthony was also in pain; she frowned and was worried."Anthony, what's going on?"Anthony knew that Lena had left. The separation between them meant they would have no further connection with each other anymore.He immediately fell to his knees in pain as he was unable to hold back his emotions any longer, and began to cry out loud.Margot was eager to pursue Lena and asked what the situation was.Yet, she saw Anthony kneeling on the ground and crying, so she quickly squatted down and comforted him."Anthony, what’s going on with you all? Tell me clearly so I don’t worry, alright?"Anthony said in a hoarse voice, "I will never have Lena in my life
Calvin knew very well that Lena was innocent. He didn't intend to do anything to Lena either. But Branden was now missing, and perhaps only through Lena could he be found.However, Anthony didn't want Lena to get involved, so that was that."What on earth are you talking about? I don't understand a thing." Margot stood up as well, looking at her two brothers with a confused expression.Calvin looked at her and said, "You don't know this, but Lena's real name is Yelena Evans. She was born into the Emerian royalty, and there was a prophecy at her birth that foretold the ruin of the Morris family should she be around."Back then, the royal family said that she had died just two months after she was born. If Curtis hadn't inquired about the golden pendant that belonged to her, we wouldn't have known that Lena was the child who was supposedly dead."Margot was stunned. It was hard to imagine that Lena was Royce's sister, not to mention that she was also the subject of a prophecy.Marg
"I'm sorry, Darling. I'll make it up to you when you get back," Curtis apologized.He quickly softened his tone and admitted his mistake. Margot had Calvin and Anthony's backing, so he didn't dare to cross her.Margot went along and said, "You'll have to sleep on the couch.""Alright, alright. I'll sleep on the couch." Curtis then thought of something and asked, "Now that everyone knows about it, what's Calvin's take on it?""What else could he say? The one having the hardest time is Anthony. This time, he and Lena are completely over. They probably won't ever get together in this lifetime," Margot lamented.Curtis fell silent.Lena was Royce's sister, which meant that a future with Anthony would be impossible.Unless… the dead could come back to life."Margot, do you miss our son? I'll come pick you up in a couple of days." Curtis noticed that Margot was feeling down, so he changed the subject.How could Margot not miss Louis? She missed him so much she was about to cry.She
Gabriel was making soup when he heard Curtis' questioning voice. He turned to look back. Instead of answering the question, he asked, "Is something wrong?""Calvin isn't home. Is it appropriate for you to cook for his wife at his place?" Curtis asked.Gabriel turned down the heat and faced Curtis. "I'm not doing this for Calvin's wife. I'm doing it for my son. Also, I'm not the only outsider in this house. Luna is here too."Benjamin had recently been staying here with Natalie, and Luna was also here. He was invited to come over since they happened to be around.Gabriel was well aware that he should keep his distance if Benjamin and Luna weren't around."Even so, if I were Calvin, I would still mind this a lot." Curtis expressed how he felt.If Margot had an ex-husband who kept popping up now and then, he would probably be furious. Sometimes, he genuinely admired the open-mindedness of Gabriel and Calvin.Gabriel sneered and said sarcastically, "If you can't stand me staying h
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
