Marcus hung up the call and took a few seconds to calm himself down. After that, he decided to make a call to Cordelia to ensure she was okay.The voice that came from another side of the line was weak and filled with reluctance.“Honey, my directors insist on inviting our client to dinner tonight… Sigh. I'm sure you know our biggest client is Yelena, so I have to go with them.”“Alright. Don’t worry,” replied Marcus. He did not tell her that Yelena had called him. “Where are you now? Send me your location. I’ll go pick you up later.”“Okay,” Cordelia replied with a smile. Then, she sent the location to him. Marcus crossed-checked with the address Yelena gave him to confirm that they were at the same place. Initially, he was worried that Yelena was plotting something against Cordelia, so she wanted to send him somewhere else. But now it seemed like Yelena was not lying to him.‘But why did she make this call specifically to ask me to go to their dinner party as well?’Marcus fe

“I think they’re pretty good. What’s the matter?”“If you think they’re good, then eat more and don’t talk so much!” “You!” Yelena’s eyes grew wide. “What does it matter to you if I eat more or less? I was just mentioning the truth. Your husband hasn't said anything yet, so why do you have to be so sensitive about it?”“Relax, Ms. Yelena!” Dwayne chimed in while holding his glass of wine. “Cordelia was just being nice by telling you to eat more. She’s just worried that you might get hungry later. Come, let’s cheer!”Yelena harrumphed coldly and finished her wine in one gulp.Cordelia was still fuming with anger. Her jaw was tightly set, and she clenched her fists so tightly that they were shaking.She turned her head around to look at Marcus. He was still calm despite being insulted by Yelena, and she felt a little sorry for him.She must be the reason Yelena called him here. He should not be here at all. He did not have to go through all the humiliation. This dinner party was

When Cordelia came to work the next day, she felt that everyone was looking at her in a strange way.She did not know what had happened at all. While she was working, Annie knocked on the door and entered her office. She went closer to her and whispered into her ear happily, “Everyone in the company is talking about it. Your husband is a genius!”Cordelia was stunned. “What do you mean?”“The stock market!” Annie waved her phone. “There are a lot of things happening on the market right now! Did you not see it?”Cordelia was not interested in the stock market, so she rarely paid attention to it. However, after listening to what Annie said, she became curious about it.She looked at the market trend and realized that Marcus was right!She frowned slightly as a strange feeling rose from her stomach pit.“I heard that those people in the marketing department bought Crane Industry’s stocks, and they're now losing money!” Annie said, grinning from ear to ear at their misfortune, “They

When Yelena returned home, she saw that William’s face was dark, and she looked at Joanne.Joanne shot her a look and placed her hand beside her lips. “Be careful,” she mouthed.Yelena’s heart jumped into her throat. William cleared his throat and raised his eyes to look at Yelena, sending a chill down her spine.“Dad…” Yelena laughed dryly. “You're back so early today, dad. Is everything alright in the company?”William looked at her coldly. “It seems like you do care about my company!”Yelena pressed her lips thin and said, “The Jenners Group is our family business, so of course, I—”“You what? You want to know who is going to own my company after I die, aren’t you!?” William smacked the table hard and jerked up from his chair, his eyes rounded with anger.Yelena trembled in fear, and her face turned pale. Her voice began to shake as she explained, “Dad, you… You’ve misunderstood. I didn’t—”“Stop explaining!” A cup fell to the floor and smashed into pieces. Yelena drew

Yelena’s eyes lit up. Her heart was pounding.“Dad, Zennie Hamerton… is the youngest heiress of the Hamertons, right?“Mm-hmm.” William said flatly, “I think she’s only 18 and has yet to go to university. She’s the youngest child of the Hamertons and Mr. Z’s favorite sister. If you can get the favor of that princess, to get her to say some good words about you to Mr. Z, there’s hope for you to marry him!”“I know what to do now, dad!” Yelena bit her lip. She spoke after momentarily falling into deep thought. “I’ll get someone to follow Ms. Hamerton, and I’ll hold a dinner as soon as possible. It’s best if… it’s a charity dinner! I know the Hamertons love doing charity.”“That’s great.” William finally revealed a smile. “You’ll send Zennie an invitation when you find her!”“Certainly!”“The sooner you hold the dinner, the better. Undue delay may bring trouble.”“Got it.” She was secretly over the moon.However, what William said next brutally crushed her joy.“Tell Cordelia abo

After all, it was just a dinner.Taking a deep breath in, Cordelia forced a smile. She thought she would stay for a little bit and then leave with an excuse.When she stepped onto the hotel stairs, a figure suddenly flashed by before she even got into the banquet entrance.“Yo, you really came?”Yelena crossed her arms and looked at her arrogantly. There was a disdainful smile on her face.Cordelia was stunned. One must say that the former had dressed up well today. The bright red mermaid dress complimented her body, as well as her skin tone.In comparison, Cordelia’s ordinary black and white dress looked plain.Yelena frowned. “Cordelia, didn’t I tell you that Ms. Hamerton is tonight's guest of honor? Are you trying to humiliate the Jenners by dressing like this?!”“You said it’s a charity dinner,” Cordelia said flatly. “Should I dress like a clown to a charity dinner?”“What did you say!?”“The dinner’s main objective is charity, not some Ms. Hamerton.” Cordelia glanced at

Cordelia followed behind Yelena. They walked around the hotel building and arrived at the basement car park.It was dark and quiet around. There was hardly anyone who would come. Also, even if they did come here, they would use the elevator inside the hotel instead of taking the long way like they did.Cordelia slowed down. She could not help but get suspicious.“What are you doing?” Yelena, who was walking in front, urged. “Quickly! I parked my car downstairs.”“Can you find it?”“Do you think I don’t know where I parked my car? What? Don’t tell me you want me to pick you up with the car?” Yelena scoffed. “Cordelia, if I were to pick you up at the hotel entrance with a fanfare, everyone would see you dressed like this! Are you trying to humiliate our family?”Cordelia pursed her lips and said nothing more.The path toward the basement car park was dark. Like a black hole, they could not see the end.Yelena was almost sprinting in front. It was a little tough for Cordelia to ca

Cordelia’s heart was pounding, her mind empty.The voice out there… sounded like a young lady.Who was she? Why was she here?“Ugh, this lock is so annoying!” The lady sighed. “Um… Please stay back! I’m going to use a rock to break the lock!”Cordelia was stunned but did as she was told and backed up to the corner of the wall.The sound of the lady slamming the door echoed throughout the entire basement. It was quite terrifying.Soon, as a thud was heard and a chain fell, a crisp clang came.The door opened, but Cordelia was stiff. Her arms and legs seemed to be frozen.“Sis?” A pretty figure flashed by. “Why aren’t you moving!?”“You…”“Let’s go!” Before Cordelia managed to speak, a pair of soft, tiny hands held her.She could no longer think about anything rationally. She could only follow that lady, escaping this dark prison.There were many dead rats at the door, as well as a baseball bat and a big rock.It seemed like the lady killed those rats.Although her hands we

"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
