Chapter 1205

Author: Breaking Wave
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

    Lina continued. "Without rules, there's no order. Whether it's a country or a company, everyone should understand this principle!"You coming to the construction site dressed like this has left a bad impression on Mr. Sam and seriously damaged the company's image! It's only right and reasonable for you to be fired!""Ms. Jenner has spoken, so what are you waiting for?" Abigail added fuel to the fire, turning to the bodyguards. "Get this person out of here! Hey, this is a film studio construction site. There might be commercial secrets here! How can we let outsiders discover them?"Several bodyguards stepped forward and immediately dragged Gia out of the construction site while she screamed hysterically, even mentioning Jacob.Not mentioning Jacob would have been fine, but as soon as his name came up, it struck a nerve with Abigail!"Do you really think Jacob is oblivious!?" She pointed at the now distant figure of Gia and stomped her foot in anger. "Sooner or later, he'll see thro

    When Gia saw the blood on Tobias, fear gripped her, causing her to slump against the floor and slide down to the ground."Are you... Are you seriously injured!?"Tobias shouted, covering his head, "Quickly call an ambulance to take me to the hospital!"Gia was momentarily stunned. As Tobias stumbled toward the exit, she suddenly rushed over and stood in the doorway."What are you doing!?" Tobias' heart raced, and he struggled to speak. "G-Gia…""I can take you to the hospital, but you must promise me... Promise me you won't involve the police!"Tobias was taken aback. The blood on his head continued to flow, and if it didn't stop soon, he might not make it through the day!But Gia's suggestion to avoid the police seemed insane at that moment."Fine, fine, I won't involve the police!" Tobias grumbled with resentment. "Just get me to the hospital! Damn it..."-Tobias, who had been complaining the whole way, finally fell silent in the emergency room. Not because he wanted to bu

    "That's not right," the nurse said, scanning Gia up and down. "I haven't heard of this patient having a daughter, and she herself said she doesn't have any children.""I—""Please don't disturb our work here," the nurse interrupted, walking past Gia. "I need to change the medicine for other patients."Feeling something was amiss, Gia stood in front of the nurse station. She seized the opportunity of the vacant area and discreetly flipped through the patient records. She only managed to glimpse "breast cancer" before she heard approaching footsteps.Swiftly, she darted to the other side and rushed downstairs to find Linda standing at the hospital entrance, seemingly waiting for a driver.Gia trailed behind her and respectfully greeted her, adjusting her expression to a somewhat natural smile. "Hello, Mrs. Thompson."Linda seemed taken aback, sensing familiarity in Gia's face but unable to recall where they had met."I... I'm Gia Chapman.""Oh." Linda nodded with a hint of sarcas

    Gia gasped, her eyes filled with a mixture of hatred and fear as she looked at Linda. The Thompsons' driver approached and stood in front of them.Linda glanced at Gia with a contemptuous smile playing on her lips."Mm! Mmph!"Suddenly, a strange sound came from behind them. Linda turned around and saw a man with his head securely wrapped, staggering toward them with his large body jiggling. Linda was taken aback but noticed something unnatural about Gia's expression.The heavily bandaged man managed to create a gap in the bandage covering his mouth and greeted them obsequiously. He bowed and mumbled incoherently, "Mrs. Thompson, I'm Tobias Chambers. It's an honor to meet you here today!""What's so honorable about seeing me in the hospital?" Linda asked."Well..." Tobias paused.The driver whispered to Linda, "He's the manager of the film studio project and the main person in charge.""Oh." Linda nodded. "So, you're Mr. Chambers, the project manager.""Yes, heh heh... That's

    Gia had assumed that Jacob, being inexperienced in dating, would be clueless and not treat her well. She quickly realized that he applied his shrewdness as a lawyer in their relationship, refusing to even give her a free piece of chocolate.That's why she ended up with Tobias. It was just...Gia let out a deep breath. Men were all unreliable. She wondered why Lina had such a dependable man while even Renee, who was considered a disgrace, had someone doting on her.Gia clenched her fists with malice burning in her eyes like a flame.-It was already past 10:00 p.m., and Lina was still engrossed in studying a design sketch in her office. She stretched and noticed Renee smiling at her, gesturing with her eyes from across the room.That's when Lina realized that Zuko had entered without her noticing. She let out a soft gasp and lightly punched him. "How come you walk so quietly!?""I knocked." Zuko chuckled. "You were so focused on your work that you didn't hear me. Look, I even bro

    Zuko furrowed his brow. "The birthmark on you? The crescent-shaped one?""Yeah." Lina smiled sheepishly. "I didn't tell you earlier because I was a bit worried... Aren't men usually against girls getting plastic surgery?""Not at all." Zuko gently stroked her hair. "Men have a high level of acceptance for the women they love. But why did you remove the birthmark?"Lina paused for a moment and spoke softly. "It was Gia who convinced me to have it removed. She said that... the mark on my waist wasn't attractive and affected my appearance in certain clothes."To be honest, I was quite foolish back then." She chuckled. "I mean, how often will I wear outfits that expose my waist and stomach? Does it really matter if it's aesthetically pleasing!? But I got carried away and listened to her and had the birthmark removed."Zuko's gaze darkened.Gia had been in contact with Melvin for a long time, so her actions were definitely part of a scheme—and the scheme was clear. It was to prevent L

    "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
