Branden strode out of the door without saying anything more to Anthony. He also instructed two disciples to keep watch over him.Anthony realized that he was quite seriously injured; if he had acted impulsively, things might have turned out just as Branden had predicted.He figured that if he could find Branden now, he'd still be able to find them in the future, even if Branden wanted to take Lena and Lilac away again.There was no rush, and he should focus on recovering first.After lying back on the bed, Anthony still felt shaken as he recalled the fierce beast he encountered on his way up the mountain.He never would have thought that on this mountain, along with venomous snakes and fierce wolves, there were also tigers.It was a miracle that he was alive and managed to climb up.…After Curtis dropped Margot and the others off at a Koronian international six-star hotel, he headed alone to meet Tina at Aelia Castle.Margot sat alone on the spacious hotel bed for an entire e
Curtis couldn't figure out why this was still happening despite his age. Why were there still women who threw themselves at him?While avoiding Tina's touch behind him, he gently said, "Your Highness, please have some self-respect. I am a married man with a wife and children, and I love them very much."Upon hearing this, Tina's expression suddenly turned grim. She pulled her hand back and moved around to face Curtis, looking at him."So you're married and have children?" she asked.Curtis maintained a blank expression and replied, "That's right.""Is she the woman who was with you at the wedding reception?"Curtis didn't deny it and said, "Yes."Tina smiled. "If you hadn't said anything, I would have thought she was your sister, or maybe your…"She didn't continue speaking. After a moment, she turned and walked toward the large bed.Curtis quickly turned his back to her again. Tina was wearing a thin, sheer dress that was honestly an unsightly look.Tina saw that Curtis acte
In just a short while, Tina felt her vision blur and her head became dizzy. Shortly after, she lost consciousness and fainted.Curtis loosened his grip on her neck and went to the washroom to clean off the filth in disgust. He then took off his coat and unbuttoned his shirt a bit.However, he still felt that something wasn't quite right, so he tugged at his collar a few more times.After squeezing out a few more hickeys, he noticed a lipstick on the sink. He picked it up and smeared some on his shirt.All right, he was all set for his performance.After waiting for quite a while, he finally went to the door to crack the electronic code.Before long, he successfully bypassed the digital lock. As he opened the door and tried to leave, two maids at the entrance stepped forward to stop him."Sir, why are you out here?"Curtis stood tall with a gentle expression on his face. "The princess was exhausted and just fell asleep, so I came out to find something to eat," he said.The maid
Ryan frowned, "He asked about Edna?""Yes, he has been asking me about Edna and Geralt," Tina replied.Ryan asked again, "Who is he?"Tina shook her head. "I only know that he came from Ligronia, his family name is Crosby, and that he attended Edna's wedding yesterday."After realizing that there was a problem, Ryan coldly glared at Tina. "Listen to me, if you keep bringing men back recklessly and ignoring your reputation; causing the media to find out and ruin the royal family's image, I will inform our father right away and have your princess title taken away."Tina, although still feeling indignant, lowered her head and replied, "Yes, I won't dare to do it again."Ryan walked away briskly.…Curtis returned to the hotel in the afternoon. He opened the door to the presidential suite and immediately saw three people sitting in the living room.Margot had been anxiously waiting for him.When she saw Curtis come back, she hurriedly got up to greet him with her face full of wor
Curtis quickly pushed Gabriel aside and followed Margot into her room.When he saw Margot sitting on the carpet by the bedside hugging herself, he went over, crouched down, and gently placed his hand on her."Margot, after all these years, you still don't trust me?"Margot didn't even look up and waved her hand, saying, "Go change your clothes and take a shower before talking to me."He had the scent of women's perfume all over him, and it made her feel really nauseous.However, Curtis was not pleased.He frowned, and while taking off his shirt, he said in a deep voice, "Let me tell you once more—all these marks on my body are self-inflicted. I'm going to take a shower now, but if you can't trust me even a little bit, then it will really hurt my feelings."He got up, took off his shirt, and threw it in the trash can. He then went to the bathroom with his upper body bare.Margot slowly lifted her head and looked at the shirt he had thrown in the trash can. She felt an inexplicab
After hearing what Ryan said, Gabriel naturally became cautious. He laughed and said, "Thank you for your warm hospitality, but we find the hotel quite nice. We'll rest here for a couple of days and then head back, so there's no need to trouble the royal family."Ryan asked, "Is Mr. Sawyer worried about something?""I'm not worried about anything; I simply don't want to trouble the royal family."Ryan insisted, "It's no trouble. We'll wait here for Mr. Sawyer for a few minutes. You can gather your things and come with us."Gabriel was at a loss for words. By the looks of it, they were determined to take them away.He closed the door, looking very serious.Luna asked him, "What should we do now? Why would the royal family suddenly send someone to invite us as guests?""Curt must have been inquiring about Daniel and it caught their attention. Now they want to detain us to figure out the reason."He then saw Margot sitting by herself with her head down and typing on her phone.
Upon receiving multiple messages, Calvin could hardly believe that Daniel was still alive.But since Margot was in danger, he naturally needed to take care of that first.Curtis received a message from Margot while on his way to Hiddel Castle.Upon learning that the king of Koronia had invited them to the royal palace, he felt uneasy. Nonetheless, he decided to first go to Hiddel Castle to find Daniel.With Gabriel around, it was to be expected that he would protect the two women well.By the time Curtis arrived at Hiddel Castle, it was already dark.The entire castle was heavily guarded everywhere, making it impossible for him to get in.There was no other way in. He would have to climb the walls.…Back at the royal palace, Ryan had just sent people to monitor Gabriel and the others to prevent them from leaving when some staff came to report to him."Your Highness, after Mr. Crosby left the hotel, he didn't head to the airport. We're still tracking his whereabouts. Should w
Upon hearing this, both Ragnar's and Ryan's expressions immediately changed dramatically.They didn't understand why Calvin was calling at this time. Could it be that he found out that Daniel was in their hands?Ragnar looked serious as he instructed Ryan, "Do exactly as I say immediately, and make sure to hide Geralt well.""Alright."Ryan then left the room.Ragnar took the phone from his subordinate and immediately said in a friendly manner, "Hello, Mr. Calvin Morris. We're honored to receive your call."Calvin didn't beat around the bush. "King Ragnar, nice to meet you. I heard that your daughter got married. Why didn't you invite me?""Mr. Morris is extremely busy with work, and he's also exhausted from the recent loss of close family members. If I invited you, wouldn't it just add to your troubles?""Since you had your concerns, then so be it. I've heard that my younger sister is a guest at the royal palace?"Ragnar's expression changed. "Your younger sister?""That's r
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
