Desiree instantly came to a realization. Just as she was about to scream, she saw Lina pulling out a gun and pointing it at her temple."W-What are you doing?" Desiree stammered."This is the gift I got for you. Do you like it?" Lina scoffed. "Even though my dad has been involved in legitimate business for a long time now, it seems like it can't stop someone from being mean to him!""Lina, you—"Lina scoffed. "Since you said I'm the daughter of a gangster, I can't let that nickname cause me pain. Don't you think so?"Desiree widened her eyes, terrified.Lina smirked, gloating as she loaded the gun. The sound echoed loudly in the empty bathroom.Desiree screamed in fright. Her legs trembled, and she almost fell down."I-It was a misunderstanding!" She explained with a shaking voice. "We were all just drinking too much. Lina, I-I didn't mean to say that. I…”"Misunderstanding?" Lina moved her wrist to lift Desiree's chin with the gun. "You used my fiance's cup in front of me. Wa

Desiree was in a mess, retreating with her hands supporting her body on the ground. She was unable to stop shaking and cried at the top of her lungs.In stark contrast, the janitor remained surprisingly calm, silencing Desiree with a cloth."You're annoying," the janitor stated."Mmph!" Desiree struggled in panic."Don't tell anyone about the gun, get it?" the janitor threatened.Desiree widened her eyes.Even Lina was stunned.The janitor had chased after Desiree to prevent anyone from finding out that Lina had a gun. After all, the Thompsons were now involved in legitimate business, and their reputation could be damaged if this information got out.However, Lina couldn't recall having any contact with this person, no matter how hard she thought.Why would she help her?Fearful and unable to do anything else, Desiree could only nod and cry.After removing the cloth, the janitor let Desiree go. The latter hastily crawled and ran away.Lina's heart raced as she stood outside

Desiree ran in panic, losing the strength to even drive. After a few attempts, she finally dialed the right number to get her driver to pick her up.By the time Desiree arrived home, she was drenched in sweat and as pale as a piece of paper, panting heavily. Though the room was just a short distance away, she had to hold onto the wall for support.The house she stayed in was bought by her family years ago in Centrolis. It was a large and quiet suburban property, far from public view. However, Desiree still found it was lacking.After catching her breath, she frantically closed all the curtains in the house, feeling terrified by the earlier events.Not only did she feel jealousy for Lina now, but resentment as well.The maid approached her quietly and said, "Miss, the person you want to meet is already in the guest room.""What?" Desiree calmed down. "She's here?""Yes, she arrived from Jangasas this afternoon. Since you weren't home, I took her to the guest room," the maid repli

Lina and Renee fell silent at the same time. The name Madame Krys had brought them back to the time on the ship. They had thought they had forgotten about it, but the narrow cabin, the wounded girls, and the ferocious eyes were playing in their heads like a movie. It was a traumatic experience, as well as an unforgettable memory."Maybe," Lina said softly. "Maybe she's really related to Madame Krys. Even though she saved our lives, she broke the law. We can't tell whether this Lena is a friend or a foe just yet, so we must be cautious."Renee nodded. "Cuz, if you really want to find out, why don't you go there a couple more times?"Toph quickly interjected. "It's a dangerous place. Better to stay away!"Renee looked at him and smiled but said nothing more.The group parted ways and went home after chatting for a while.-Desiree had been quiet these days. She used to hit Zuko up daily, but she now dared not even text him.When Toph was playing games, he would notice that her av

Zuko said, "I've looked over the proposal for her, and everything is good to go. I've also got people to handle the details.""Renee has been working hard, too," Toph complained. "I'm going to take her on a vacation when the opening is over!"Zuko pouted. He faked a chuckle and left.Renee had been working hard, but Lina had been covering everything, and she had had to do everything herself. It was hard for her to show perfectly the capability and quality that the successor of the company should have.Therefore, Zuko would also take her on a vacation after the opening ended. He wanted to bring her somewhere further than Toph was bringing Renee!He smiled as he thought about it. His mood was even better than the weather today. He didn't even bother with the driver, and he drove himself.-A week later, the opening of the Thompson Group's film studio took over the trending topic for the entire week.With the influence of Sol Entertainment and the Hamerton Group's Imperial Media,

The venue went silent for a second before loud applause erupted.The celebrities had seen it all, having been in all sorts of movies and dramas. But they had never seen anything so sweet as what Zuko had just done for Lina.They applauded, whether out of genuine appreciation or simply to go along with the crowd. But no one wanted to miss the opportunity to offer their sincere congratulations.Zuko and Lina began to dance. After taking off her heels, Lina felt lighter on her feet. Although she wasn't much of a dancer, Zuko's presence helped to calm her nerves.They made a handsome couple, and their graceful movements drew countless admiring glances.After the dance, they retired to the VIP room to discuss the future of the film studio. But their conversation was interrupted by Renee, who burst into the room in a panic."Cuz!" she cried.Lina was startled. "What's wrong?"Renee was so flustered that she could barely speak.Toph followed close behind, his expression grave. "There

Lina frowned and looked at Zuko. He was looking at her too, and they locked eyes, seemingly understanding what the other was thinking.At that moment, the police arrived."Are you Ms. Pamela Thompson?" a police officer asked.Lina was stunned. "I am..."The police officer said, "After our preliminary investigation, we suspect someone spiked the beverages at the banquet.""Who did it? Did you find out?" Lina asked.The officer looked at her with a complicated expression. "Ms. Thompson, we received an anonymous tip during our investigation that you prepared the beverages for the banquet.""What? Don't tell me you suspect me?" Lina was stunned, her mind blank."We can't rule anyone out who is connected to the case until we have solid evidence," the officer said respectfully, but his eyes were cold. "Ms. Thompson, please come with us to assist with the investigation."-Zuko waited at the police station. He couldn't go in, so he had no idea what was happening. Even though he look

Zuko smiled. "Thanks, Uncle Nicholas."Nicholas tidied his tie, looking proud. Linda then dragged him away, holding his ear.Zuko knocked on the door, but there was no response at first. He became worried and was about to ask the maid for a spare key when the door opened.Lina stood in front of him with her eyes downcast. She looked thinner, with dark circles under her eyes, but she didn't seem dispirited."Lina..." Zuko felt a pang of heartache and gently caressed her soft cheek, asking, "Is there anything else I can do for you?"Lina smiled and leaned into his embrace.During this time, Zuko had already done a lot for her. While Lina had been cooperating with the police investigation, he had been outside waiting for her. When Lina locked herself in her room, he had been analyzing the doubts and finding evidence.If Lina asked what else he could do for her...Lina said, "I'd like to take a walk. Would you go with me?""Of course!" Zuko was eager to do that. "Where would you 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
