In the past few days, Violet had been like a mouse crossing the street—wherever she went, people mocked her. She shamelessly went to the university but had to cover herself up, completely unrecognizable from head to toe.Despite that, the mocking voices constantly reached her ears. People in the class now understand that Lina had set her up. She wanted them to testify—"It was Lina who copied Xyla Irwin's artwork first, not me!""Violet, save your breath!" Keira was the first to refute her. "If it weren't for your malicious intentions, thinking of plagiarizing Lina's work, this wouldn't have happened!""Exactly..." Someone else chimed in. "Besides, the painting that was submitted for review was yours, not Lina's! Maybe Lina just copied along for fun?""We've all seen how Ms. Grist usually bullies Lina. Hah... it's karma!""You!" Violet shouted angrily, isolated and unsupported, and turned around to run out of the classroom.Normally, she was the one who bullied Lina, but she was n

The scene caught Fred off guard. He slowly raised his head and squinted. His smile was skeptical. "Mr. Hamerton, you're so young. How did you...""Ahem, ahem!" Zuko coughed heavily.Lina tightened her hand that was holding his arm and desperately gave him a look."Uh, yes." Zuko managed to squeeze out a few words with difficulty. "I... can't eat sugary foods." He comforted himself inwardly. Yes, he never liked sweet things anyway! After speaking, he looked at Lina. The young woman was smiling brightly. She was really asking for a beating!That was right! He must teach her a lesson when they got home while Melissa could not see them! "So that's how it is." Fred, astute as he was, immediately understood the reason, but he played along. "Shall I change a few dishes for you then?""No need to trouble yourself!" Zuko replied calmly. "My wife and I didn't come here today for this meal. Mr. Grist, just say what you want to say. My wife and I have other matters to attend to." Fred p

"Violet brought upon herself this whole situation!" Zuko pulled Lina up with him with a smirk. "Let's end this meal here. My wife and I will pretend we didn't hear anything you said. If you insist on causing us trouble, I don't mind meeting you in court!""Mr. Hamerton, please wait!" Fred called out to him. "Is there really no room for negotiation?""If my husband says there isn't, then there isn't." Lina chuckled lightly. "Mr. Grist, I understand your desire to protect your niece, but we shouldn't abandon our sense of right and wrong as a person, should we?""What if I offer you an internship position at the Grist Group, Ms. Jenner?""What did you say?" Lina halted her steps and glanced at the man beside her.Zuko furrowed his brow slightly, his gaze filled with suspicion. He discreetly held her small hand tightly and gently squeezed it twice as if telling her not to worry and that he had everything under control."An internship position at the Grist Group isn't just open to any

Back in Centrolis, Toph had been waiting at the entrance of the Thompsons for quite some time. He was about to lose his patience when he suddenly caught sight of a fair and petite figure.He immediately perked up and quickly got out of the car, blocking the girl's path.The girl was caught off guard and visibly startled by him.Toph was taken aback for a moment, finding her frightened appearance quite cute. She had fair and rosy cheeks, a pair of beautiful, clear eyes, and shoulder-length hair, accentuating her pure and smart vibe.Her appearance was not stunning but rather pleasing to the eyes. However, her lips appeared slightly pale, giving the impression of poor nutrition.Toph couldn't help but show off his social skills. He waved his hand casually, crossed his arms at his waist, and tossed his hair, revealing a mischievous smile. "Hey, Pammy!"The girl stared at him blankly, instinctively crossing her arms in front of her chest and showing some wariness toward him."What's

Zuko fell silent for a moment.If that girl was truly Pammy, despite being away from home for many years and being unfamiliar with everything, she shouldn't be so fearful of the outside world, especially since she was found and had her parents' love. Her reaction should not be as intense, or at least that's what Toph thought.However, according to Toph, Pammy seemed to be cautious everywhere, more like she was afraid of being discovered by someone."Hello, Zuko? Are you listening?" Toph called out."Yes, I'm here," Zuko replied in a deep voice.He locked the rolling shutter door of the shop and stood at the entrance, continuing the phone call.He ran his hand through his hair. "Toph, I think we might still have to rely on you about this."On the other end of the line, Toph let out a cry of despair.Zuko stifled a laugh and pretended to be serious as he said, "Think about it. You've already made so many attempts. Maybe if you just try one more time, you'll succeed. If I go back,

"Hmm." Zuko nodded after a moment. "You're right..."For some reason, Lina's face flashed across his mind at that moment. He recalled sitting together with the Jenners for meals. Jesse, Melissa, and Dave looked like a family because Dave's appearance combined the characteristics of his parents, but Lina was different.It was often said that daughters resembled their fathers more, but this law seemed ineffective in Jesse and Lina's case."Hey, bro?" Toph did not hear Zuko's voice for a while and grew concerned. "What are you doing over there?""Oh, nothing," replied Zuko. "I'm almost home. Let's end here. You should rest too.""Well, I'm already awake. Let's chat for a while more!" Toph lazily suggested, "You live alone in a big villa, and there's no one else around. How about we have a video call?""I don't want to chat with you!" Zuko emphasized. "I don't live in a villa, and... people at home are asleep. I don't want to wake them up!""What?" Toph suddenly became fully awake.

Zuko's expression changed as he tried hard to hold back his laughter.He thought he should have recorded that just now and let his father listen to it!Which family man was in such a miserable state aside from Zephyr?"Zeke!" Melissa smiled and looked at Zuko. "What would you like to have for lunch? I'll make it for you!""Oh, no need." Zuko quickly got up. "Auntie, you take good care of Mr. Jenner. I'll go to the supermarket."After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the house and did not hear Melissa calling out from behind, "Lina doesn't have classes in the afternoon. I'll let her come to the store too and work with you!"The sound of her voice grew distant, and Zuko had no idea what she was shouting. She probably wanted to keep him for lunch!Zuko chuckled and quickened his pace.There were not many customers in the small supermarket in the afternoon, and he had a rare moment of leisure. When someone suddenly entered, he sat bored behind the cash register, flipping thr

Mary was delighted and spoke more, seeing that Zuko was interested."Let me tell you secretly... Actually, we all suspect that Lina's parents kidnapped her!""What?" Zuko was somewhat shocked, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "Mrs. Nash, you can't make baseless accusations! I know best what kind of people my parents-in-law are!""You, child, I knew you'd take your mother-in-law's side!" Mary pouted. "But I see that you're an honest child and don't want you to be deceived by them! Those two, they may look honest, but who knows what they're really like? Only time will reveal their true nature!"Besides, I'm not making baseless accusations. Just 20 years ago, they didn't have a child yet. They went to the big hospital in Centrolis for medical help, and when they came back after several months, they were carrying this girl!"Hah!" Mary became more excited as she spoke. "They insisted that they were already pregnant before going to Centrolis, but they didn't notice it, and she was born

"Only Morpheus and Sephy aren't like that. They respect and understand me. Sephy told me once, 'One's appearance doesn't indicate anything. A clean heart is what truly matters!'"Rebecca chuckled dismissively."You're a psychologist, yet you fail to grasp this," Wynn said coldly. "Actually, I pity you. You could have stepped out, yet you insist on dwelling on the trivialities."Morpheus has psychological barriers, a consequence of returning from the battlefield. No one has cured his PTSD except Sephy... It shows that a true psychologist is never just a title."What truly heals everything is love!"-One particular morning a year later, sunlight streamed through sheer cream curtains onto the floor.Persephone was sound asleep when she suddenly felt something pressing down on her... Then, Morpheus' strong arms wrapped around her slender waist. She drowsily opened her eyes to find him sealing her lips with heated kisses.Over the year, his kissing skills had improved, and Persepho

With Morpheus' involvement, the police didn't slack off and quickly found Rebecca.That day, Rebecca was preparing to escape from a small port. The boat she had found was an illegally operating one.As she was about to board, piercing sirens sounded nearby.The boat owner, enraged upon hearing the sirens, grabbed Rebecca by her hair and pushed her into the water.Rebecca screamed for help, but he roared, "I didn't expect you to be sent by the cops!""I'm not..." Rebecca choked on water. "Sir, let's leave now. Your boat is fast. As long as we reach the open sea, no one will catch you!""Dream on!" The boat owner wanted to strangle her. "Do you not understand? These sirens are from the royal guards! Who did you bitch provoke?"Rebecca was dumbfounded. Being a foreigner, she naturally didn't understand the local affairs in the Southeast Aciatic region.The police and royal guards quickly caught up, armed, and surrounded them.Rebecca turned pale and trembled all over, her gaze gr

"You had no choice on the battlefield."Persephone looked at him with her crystal eyes. There was a magical power in them. Even if a devil was tearing him apart, her eyes would always bring him back to light.She smiled and caressed his cheek. "Though you killed your father, you saved the country.""Do you really… think so?"She nodded. "You're not at fault. He was the one who made a mistake. You were just fulfilling your job as a general to protect the country."But I also understand that he's your father who brought you up, after all. You guys must have had happy days before that happened, right?"Morpheus held his head low in silence."You did well as the protector of the country," she said softly. "But as a son, you can secretly pay homage to him."Persephone held his hand. "Reconcile with your father, Morpheus. You'll also reconcile with yourself by doing that, okay?"He was stunned for a long time and felt a lump in his throat.-Morpheus stayed with Persephone in the

"No way!" Christopher smirked, glancing at Morpheus. "To him, you're his only princess! I just got lucky for the princess carry, thanks to you!""Yeah, at least you're self-aware!" Persephone nodded, rubbing her chin."We've known each other for so long! What kind of person do you think I am?" Christopher laughed. "I can be a bit shameless at times, but..."But upon learning that the one she loved was the unbeatable god of war, he willingly stepped back, offering his blessings with a smile."Okay, okay. You two stop crowding around me!" Christopher waved his hand. "Sephy needs more rest, and I'd like to get some more sleep, too! Once we heal, let's go out and have some fun together!""You're still thinking about fun?" Morpheus' deep voice intervened with a wry smile. "With the factory explosion incident, the royal family is furious and will thoroughly investigate it. Many people will probably be coming to talk to you both in the next few days. After all, you two are the most direc

"Let's get out first!""Hey, wait..." Persephone pointed to the other side.In moments of life and death, it wasn't appropriate to laugh, but Morpheus still chuckled. The young Prince Christopher was sprawled on the floor in a very ridiculous pose, and they almost forgot about him!"Don't worry," Morpheus whispered. "I won't let anything happen to him."He had Persephone cling to his back and then carried Christopher.Christopher was a tall fellow, so it took some effort to carry them both to a safe place.Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars rushed in. Their sirens pierced the sky, startling a flock of birds.The fire was soon extinguished, and Persephone and Christopher received timely treatment. Luckily, their burns weren't too severe, and even more fortunately, their faces were unharmed.When Christopher woke up, he felt bandages wrapped around his head, and his skin had a burning sensation. His heart sank, and he was almost on the verge of tears."Tell me the truth! A

There was fire everywhere. Flames rushed toward Persephone like menacing dragons. Her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, but the searing pain coursing through her body became clearer. She struggled to get up, the agony almost unbearable.Despite several attempts, it was futile...Something was pinning her feet down, and stones kept falling on her. She couldn't even muster a shout.Many images flashed through her mind in that fleeting moment, each frame featuring Morpheus' face…She remembered the times they had spent together in Flinge, how he had initially distanced himself from her, then later had exerted every effort to protect her. She recalled how he would gently ruffle her hair and call her "silly goose"..."Morpheus, I'm afraid I might have to go first..."The fire grew fiercer, explosions resonated continuously, and she could no longer hold on.Christopher, who was nearby, wasn't any better.Amidst the roaring flames, he couldn't see anything clearly, only pulling

"No need, you can go back first." Morpheus glanced at him. "I'll wait here for her a little longer.""Prince Christopher wouldn't do anything to Ms. Hamerton...""Alfred, what are you thinking?" Morpheus couldn't help but chuckle. "I know exactly what Christopher is like, but I just want to wait here for Sephy. Christopher mentioned that she'd specifically designed these fireworks for me. Hah! I'm the useless one. I don't even dare to go inside and take a look.""Sir, don't say that.""If I wait here, will it count as accompanying her in her efforts?"Alfred nodded.Morpheus smiled and sent Alfred back. He continued waiting under the tree.The air in Southeast Aciatic was hot and humid. The shade of the banyan tree offered some relief, but it couldn't completely dispel the oppressive heat.Morpheus took a deep breath, about to move elsewhere, when he glimpsed a suspicious figure swiftly darting through the factory's side gate.The security at the side gate was lax, making it e

Christopher struggled to swallow the bite of the sandwich in his mouth for what seemed like ages. He gazed at Persephone, his mind wandering back…He didn't just know Morpheus. He had been close since childhood to the children of the two prominent military families in Southeast Aciatic.Compared to the Harrises, he preferred visiting the Ortons, especially when he got to spend time with Morpheus. He considered Morpheus a friend, a brother even, having engaged in countless mischief together, much to their parents' dismay.In his memory, Morpheus was someone who smiled a lot, radiating warmth and brightness like the Southeast Aciatic sun when he did.However, from the moment Kaiden betrayed the country, Morpheus never smiled again, gradually growing distant from Christopher as well.It wasn't until that evening at the gates of the palace that Christopher felt like it had been a lifetime."I... I don't know him." Christopher forced a smile. "Where would I have met your boyfriend!"

Morpheus wasn't just an ordinary person!Christopher wholeheartedly accepted his defeat to Morpheus."Then... I'd like to invite you to come over to my place for a while as a friend. That's fine, right?"-A few days later, Persephone finally ran into Christopher, who had been missing in action for days, in the classroom."Hey, you finally showed up!" She dashed over, plopping down in the seat beside him and handing him breakfast. "You haven't eaten, right? Let's eat together!"Usually, Christopher would readily accept, but he waved his hands now. "No, no, no!""What's wrong?" Persephone widened her eyes. "This breakfast isn't poisoned!"Christopher awkwardly smiled. "You have a boyfriend, so maybe... we should keep some distance."Persephone burst into laughter. Then she remarked, "Strange... Morpheus was right!""Uh, what?""My boyfriend!" She chuckled. "He made this breakfast. I asked if he could also make a portion for you, and he said sure, just worried you wouldn't tak
