When Regina woke up, she did not see Lilac sleeping beside her.She thought the nanny had brought Lilac out and paid no mind to it. She got up, and the female attendants washed her up and got her dressed.When she went to have breakfast in the dining room, she instructed, "Bring Lilac to me."Beside her, the butler nodded and asked, "Where is Ms. Lilac now, Madam?"Regina tilted her head as she looked at the butler in a displeased manner.She said, "Can't you get people to look for her if you don't know where she is?"Lilac was an early riser. Regina was convinced that Lilac went to play with the nanny or the other female attendants. She would never think that Lilac was gone.That was because Lilac couldn't get out of the Morris residence, and no one would dare to bring her out."But she went to bed with you last night. I've only seen you this morning, but not Ms. Lilac," the butler said timidly with his head bowed.He was afraid that Regina would blame him."What do you mean
Margot nodded.Just as Royce was about to say something, the gatekeeper outside the cell shouted, "Hurry up, Madam is coming!"As soon as he heard the shout, Royce immediately put on his mask and took the doggie bag away from Margot. He then got up and left quickly.Just as he stepped out of the cell, he saw Regina walking down the corridor menacingly. She also had a few female attendants by her side. They looked as if they came with ill intentions.Royce lowered his head and calmly pretended to stand guard by the side. Regina walked past him and went directly to the entrance of Margot's cell.The patrol leader opened the door from beside her and respectfully gestured for Regina to enter the cell. He had even ordered someone to get a chair for her to sit on.Margot was still curled up in the corner. Her gaze was seething with hatred when she saw Regina coming in.Regina sat on the chair with a stern expression and an overbearing aura.She eyed Margot and coldly asked, "Do you k
Regina's heart rattled upon hearing that something happened to Zyla.She got up and looked at the bodyguard outside the door, asking, "What happened to Zyla?""She seemed to be involved in a car accident," Royce answered with his head low.He was still nervous despite wearing a mask and talking in a different tone.He knew this family all too well. They were ruthless and wouldn't stop at anything. They would never forgive him if he was found lying.Regina was worried about Zyla and was about to leave to check on her daughter. However, she stopped walking and turned to look at Margot on the ground.She returned to kick her helpers away when she saw they were unwilling to slash Margot's face still.Regina personally took the blade over from one of the attendants and pulled Margot's face up by her hair.She coldly snorted and said, "This is the face that seduced Anthony, right? I'll personally ruin it today. I'd like to see how you'll continue to seduce him now!"As soon as she w
Regina rushed to pull Zyla over as she looked her over.She asked worriedly, "Are you alright? Where are you hurt?"Zyla was confused as she replied, "I'm fine. I can't find Royce, Mom. Hurry up and send people to look for him! Did he run away again because he didn't want me anymore?"Regina ignored Zyla and asked, "Weren't you involved in a car accident?""Huh? How could I be involved in a car accident when I didn't even leave the house?"Zyla tugged at Regina's hands and pleaded with her. "Please send people to look for Royce, Mom! He's gone now! He's thinking of leaving me again!"When she saw Zyla crying, Regina quickly hugged her and coaxed, "Alright, I'll send people to look for him. Don't cry, Zyla. Royce wouldn't dare to leave you."Regina then instructed the butler behind her and said, "Go and get Calvin to send his men out to look for Royce. After that, bring the bodyguard from the dungeon who lied about Zyla being involved in a car accident to me!"She would tear tha
Royce led Margot through the dungeon's secret passage and escaped to the mountain at the back.When he saw that her face had gone pale from the unbearable pain, he sat her down by the large tree. He had a heartbreaking look on him.Royce said, "Let's take a break for now. You're feeling uncomfortable, right? Just endure for a bit more. It'll be fine after we leave this place."He knew Margot was in great pain, but he had no medicine on him, and they were now in the mountains. There was no way to relieve her pain.Margot frowned. Her vision was blurry, and she felt weak from the pain all over her body. She could vaguely feel the wound on her face was bleeding.She weakly told Royce, "See if there's any Artemisia around the area. That plant is around this height and has bitter leaves. Get me some of those. They would stop the bleeding and heal the wound."Margot had been slashed on the face. She wasn't sure how deep the wound was, but it was swollen and painful. Even the cobwebs co
In the helicopter, Calvin looked powerful and assertive, dressed in an Emerian jungle camouflage attire. He was searching for the duo in the mountain forest with binoculars. They were easily spotted.He smirked before taking over the megaphone and said, "Do you really want to challenge me, Royce?"Royce ignored him and continued to help Margot move forward.Calvin dropped the binoculars and instructed his subordinates, "Land in front of them."After all, he couldn't shoot them. It would be hard to explain himself to Zyla if he hurt Royce.His target was Margot and to bring Royce back.…Margot felt so tired and uncomfortable. She couldn't move another step further and looked up at the helicopter above them. Her legs gave way to the ground when she saw it was about to land in front of them.Tears slid down her cheeks as she said, "We wouldn't be able to escape them. They're already here."They were found too soon. With the way they were outnumbered, Margot lost her confidence
Royce knew that no one from the Morris family was to be trifled with. He was afraid Calvin might hurt Margot and quickly shielded her behind him.He looked at Calvin and said, "Why must you resort to killing her, Calvin? Wouldn't it be enough to separate Margot from Anthony and forbid them to meet anymore?"Just look at her. She's just a frail woman. Not only did your mother order people to whip her, but her face was even disfigured personally by your mother."Royce continued, "Can't all of you just spare her life? I promise she'll disappear without a trace in the future. She'll never have any contact with Anthony again!"Calvin's gaze went from Royce to Margot behind him. Her pretty face was indeed disfigured and bloodied now. However, he recalled that he couldn't disobey Regina's instructions.He was not at all moved when he told Royce, "I never show mercy to those who deserved to die."Calvin raised his dagger and aimed it at Margot's head."No!"Royce quickly blocked Calvin
Margot felt somewhat glad and hurried to get down from the bed.She was planning to leave, but she was thirsty and hungry. As such, she instinctively looked for food once she got out of the room. Margot saw a bottle of water on the chair in the living room. She walked over to pick it up and drank it. She managed to finish the entire bottle in a go.She placed the bottle down and was about to start looking for food. However, her attention was immediately caught by a pile of photos on the chair. She bent down to pick a photo up and looked at it in surprise.At that moment, Calvin's icy voice sounded from nearby."What are you doing? Put it down!"Margot was surprised, but she did not place the photo down.That was because the person in it looked exactly like her when she was aged three to five. They looked so similar that even she couldn't tell if it was her or someone else."Who gave you permission to touch it?"Calvin walked over and snatched the photo away from Margot.He g
