Zuko found himself momentarily speechless, so he refilled Jacob's glass of tequila. Offering comfort to others was not his strong suit, and he struggled to understand the feeling of unrequited love. Perhaps because his relationship with Lina had been so smooth, he believed in following Toph's advice to take the initiative and kiss the person he liked.Having done so himself, with Lina reciprocating, Zuko thought that was how love should be pursued.Zuko patted Jacob's shoulder with a serious expression. "Why don't you try... kissing her first?"Jacob had just taken a sip of tequila and choked on it, tears streaming down his face from the sting. He stared at Zuko as if he were looking at a monster. Could this usually composed and reserved heir really say something so offensive?"Did I say something wrong?" Zuko argued seriously. "If you like her, you have to kiss her! Otherwise, how will she know your feelings?"Jacob narrowed his eyes. "Don't tell me you won Lina over like that?"

It was surprising that Gia turned out to be so cheap, and even more surprising was how easily she lured the project manager.The information Jacob passed to Zuko consisted of voice recordings. After listening to them, Zuko chuckled and deduced, "The film studio project covers a significant area. These two individuals plan to convert a portion of it into a commercial residential area and use a shell company to profit from it!""That's correct." Jacob nodded. "However, based solely on these short conversations in the recordings, we can't draw a definite conclusion. We still need to gather more evidence.""Alright," Zuko said in a deep voice, looking apologetic. "Then I'll have to inconvenience you a little longer...""Do we still need to be so formal with each other?" Jacob chuckled. "The one inconvenienced is Lina, having to face her every day.""There's no need to worry about our Lina!" Zuko said with pride. "She's Uncle Nicholas' daughter and can have her way in the Thompson Grou

The next evening, the welcoming party at Splendor Hotel, owned by the Hamerton Group, began on time. The midsummer night party's unique design incorporated indoor and outdoor venues. The entire hotel shimmered with brilliant lights, resembling a grand pearl in the night.The guests in attendance were prominent figures from various fields, known for their wealth or influence. Among them, Abigail stood out as the Thompson Group had shown the significance they placed on her.Lina, dressed in a pale pink haute couture dress with a pearl necklace around her neck, exuded elegance as she effortlessly mingled with the crowd, showing no signs of unease. The guests whispered among themselves, praising how she embodied the best qualities of both Nicholas and Linda.Abigail stayed by Lina's side, concerned that she might drink too much, and redirected any toasts proposed to her."Hey, this party is for you!" Lina whispered to her. "Why are you wearing a gray dress? It doesn't make you stand ou

After the party, Lina immediately had Renee retrieve all of Gia's information and send it to Abigail.Renee, slightly tipsy and starting to act like Toph, typed on the keyboard while feigning a pitiful expression with wide, watery eyes. "Lina, no way! Are you planning to make Abigail deal with her?"Cuz, you've always been so kind!"This move is really cruel!"Lina was taken aback and couldn't help but wince as if she was about to cry.As soon as Renee finished speaking, she cunningly pressed the Send button, wearing a mischievous smile like a little fox."Cuz, how do you think Abigail will handle her?"Lina burst into laughter and imitated Renee's tone. "Renee, you're becoming mischievous too! It's not 'deal with'. Abigail just needs an assistant!"The two cousins couldn't contain their laughter any longer and embraced each other, laughing heartily.-The next day, Gia knocked angrily on Lina's office door. "Lina, what is the meaning of this? Why did you transfer me to Abiga

Jackie didn't receive Gia well on her first day. Even the assistant who had made a mistake had the authority to give her orders.While Abigail waited at the filming location, Gia held an umbrella for her. The midday sun was scorching and uncomfortable. Every time the umbrella tilted even slightly, Jackie would scold, "What are you doing!? If you hold the umbrella like that, Abigail will get sunburned! If my precious baby gets tanned and loses her sunscreen endorsement deal, can you afford to compensate for the millions of dollars in losses!?"Gia had no choice but to endure it and keep Abigail fully protected under the umbrella while exposing herself to the blazing sun. The last time she experienced such intense sunlight was probably back in Southeast Aciatic when she failed to enter the palace.Both instances were somehow related to Lina...Gia bit her lip, her eyes filled with hatred.Meanwhile, Jacob was spotted not far from the set.Abigail, who had been casually browsing her

Abigail remained stunned momentarily but eventually smiled and replied, "Hehe, what a coincidence... it's quite a coincidence."Jacob started to sweat on his nose. He stood while she sat and scooped a small piece of cheesecake into her gently gaping mouth, savoring it slowly.His heart skipped a beat, and it felt as if he could see the world's fleeting brilliance all at once. He smiled foolishly, completely unaware of Gia's resentful gaze."Jacob!""Huh?" Jacob snapped out of his thoughts. "Do you... Do you need something?"Gia paled with anger. She was about to throw a tantrum but then caught Jackie's warning gaze. She shrank back and obediently held the umbrella from behind.The umbrella was large enough to accommodate both Abigail and Jacob. By holding it for them, Gia seemed to have become their servant!Jackie chuckled to himself on the side before straightening his posture and clearing his throat with a snort.Jackie recalled something. "Oh, by the way, Abigail, Ms. Jenne

"You need to wear suitable attire, understood?" Abigail emphasized the word 'suitable'.Gia chuckled cheerfully, imagining herself toasting and socializing at the event, with men swooning over her while she wore a stunning dress.Little did she know that her interpretation of 'suitable' was completely different from what Abigail meant.-Two days later.Gia rushed to the event venue wearing a strapless fishtail gown and glamorous makeup. She pulled out a mirror in the taxi and admired her appearance, growing more satisfied the longer she looked at herself.The dress was a limited edition from a top international brand and had nearly drained her savings. However, she felt it was worth it. She would be content if she could capture everyone's attention at the event, especially surpassing Lina."Miss, we've arrived." The driver's indifferent voice came from the front.Gia was still engrossed in her own beauty. It wasn't until the driver called her multiple times that she snapped ou

Gia was at a loss for words. It was true that Abigail hadn't specified the type of event with Sam in attendance, and Gia had assumed it was a banquet. She had even spent all her savings on her dress!Abigail sarcastically mocked, "Ha! Ms. Chapman, it's not your understanding that's the problem, but rather..."She pointed at Gia's chest. "It's your mindset! Did you really think you could outshine everyone dressing like this when I invited you to an event today?"Gia's face turned pale, and she trembled as she clenched the hem of her skirt.Meanwhile, Sam, who was nearby, witnessed the scene and shook his head with a frown."Ms. Jenner, can you please explain what's happening here?" He communicated with Lina in limited English. "Does your company, the Thompson Group, have such an unprofessional employee who comes to a construction site without wearing a safety helmet!?""I'm sorry." Lina smiled, enunciating her words clearly. "She's not a member of the Thompson Group.""What?" Gia

"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
