"Mr. Chriss..." Jacquelin was in a sorry state, her tearful eyes fixed on Elijah.However, Elijah frowned, devoid of any sympathy."Mr. Chriss, your wife—""What about my wife?" he cut in."Well..." Jacquelin was at a loss.Wasn't it clear? She was covered in frappe, and she was trembling all over!Elijah said coldly, "Ms. Dillon, haven't you always thought of yourself as my mistress? If these were feudal times, you'd be a 'concubine'."Kasey froze, staring at Elijah."Since you're a concubine…" Elijah approached Kasey and stood beside her. "Then, if the legitimate wife scolds you or slaps you, it's only right. Don't be upset about it, okay? What's 'showering' you with a frappe? Even if she were to throw dirty sink water at you out of anger, you'd still have to bear it! Understand?""What?!" Jacquelin's face paled.Kasey was utterly shocked. In her memory, this seemed to be the first time Elijah stood on her side.She could not believe it. "Elijah, do you know what you're sa

Kasey glanced downward. She didn't appear extraordinary to Elijah. Instead, she harbored only grievances and discontent.Unknown to Jacquelin, Zuko had noticed her taking photos and discreetly signaled his bodyguards to remove her. But before any of this could unfold, Kasey made a "heroic" move of her own.Zuko smiled at the couple and turned to leave. Lena followed him.When they reached a secluded place, Zuko stopped in his tracks and asked, "Have you engraved everything I told you?"Lena nodded earnestly."Under no circumstances should you let Renee get close to her.""I understand." Lena's gaze darkened. "Taking these precautions in advance is the right move. Renee isn't thinking clearly, so who knows what she might do. And now that Lina is pregnant, we have to be even more careful!"Zuko looked at her and said cryptically, "It seems like you genuinely care about Lina."Lena did not say anything."Why?""Because..." Lena lowered her head, her voice soft. "Because Lina has

In the previous investigation involving Kaitlyn, it was discovered that she had covert connections with a group of individuals. These individuals were part of a small gang hailing from Centrolis, consisting of low-level thugs.Subsequently, when Kaitlyn leaped off the cliff, these individuals dispersed and vanished without a trace.Given Nicholas' influence, he could have easily captured them all, but he deemed it unnecessary. They were merely insignificant figures unlikely to cause any major trouble.It came as a surprise they had now resurfaced in the black market."Ian has already interrogated these individuals," Nicholas mentioned, sipping his tea. "They lack connections and were simply making a living by engaging in minor disruptions and extorting protection fees. Eventually, they entered the illegal drug trade, enticed by its profits, which led them to band together."Renee previously contacted them."Zuko's expression darkened as he listened in silence."She asked them to

Toph's comic series hadn't been updated for a few days. The comic platform had been promoting it because it had gained more than 100,000 views and a growing fanbase.In spite of it, with the sudden lack of updates, not only did the platform's interests suffer—leading to his removal from the recommended list—but it also sparked discontent among many fans.People criticized him in the comment section, calling him unprofessional. Certain haters even went so far as to insult his family for generations.Zuko's assistant informed him of this matter. Just as Zuko was about to involve the PR team to address the situation, he realized that someone had already taken action to manage the negative comments."Mr. Hamerton, should we proceed with our plan?" Zuko hesitated. "Can you find out who's behind this?"The PR team immediately went into action and soon came up with an answer."The address is a studio," an IT staff member replied. "The method is a bit crude. Deleting negative comments

Toph nodded silently, his energy seemingly drained, as he followed Zuko.The two brothers drove to the outskirts.The sky was already getting dark. The colors of sunset gradually faded, leaving behind a deep indigo evening sky.Zuko set up the camping tent and called Toph over for dinner.The outskirts were calm, and soon, the night sky sparkled with countless stars.Toph paused, realizing it was just the two of them. It felt like they were back in their childhood.In their youth, they would enjoy carefree moments together in a private garden within Irwin Manor, often camping there. Back then, the night sky had been filled with stars and abundant fireflies.Toph's mood gradually improved, and he appeared to be smiling.Zuko said gently, "Toph, it's just us now. I want to ask you something honestly.""Yeah?""Can you and Renee still make it work?"Toph hesitated, his expression changing once more. His voice quivered as he replied, "Zuko, I..."Seeing him like this, Zuko unde

Toph was astonished, but Zuko smiled at him and led him up the stairs.The building had only two units on each floor, and they were headed to the opposite side of Arya Comics."This..."Zuko handed the keys to Toph. "You'll be staying here for the time being.""What?""This is a property developed by the Thompson Group. The quality is absolutely guaranteed!""I'm not talking about that, I mean..." Toph's words trailed off as the door across from them gently opened.Arya stepped out with a smile, holding a paintbrush in her hand.Toph paused and smiled happily. He glanced into her messy studio, where paint, canvases, and papers were scattered all around. The litter of small kittens had grown, and they were now lively and watchful, their round eyes regarding him as a stranger.Toph laughed. This was his first hearty peal of laughter in a while.Zuko understood that it was time for him to leave. He handed the luggage to Toph and smiled at Arya. "He'll be living across from you f

"N-No... No..." Jacquelin shivered.She and Renee were birds of a feather. If news spread about her trying to steal client data, Renee, as a witness, might get dragged into the situation.The seasoned members of the board of directors would likely blow this out of proportion, and Renee might struggle to defend herself later.Jacquelin had a sudden idea. Instead of dealing with this on her own, it might be smarter to involve Renee and split the profits!She composed herself and gazed at Renee. "Frankly, I can't bear being at the Thompson Group any longer, but I refuse to back down! Even if I leave, I want the Thompson Group's reputation in this industry to suffer."I intended to sell the client data. Earning some cash would be nice, but the crucial part is that our peers should be aware the Thompson Group deals in client data trafficking. It might deter potential partners down the line!"Renee was shocked. "This is illegal!"Jacqueline smiled maliciously. "If you and I don't say

Renee smirked and placed Lena's file back. She turned to urge Jacquelin, "Are you done?"Jacquelin was somewhat afraid but still mustered the courage to pull out some documents. She also retrieved electronic versions from the computer.After completing these tasks in haste, they hurriedly left the HR department.Renee was aware of the surveillance cameras' blind spots near the HR department entrance, so she skillfully avoided them. Little did she know, a pair of eyes was watching the screen with a smile at that very moment.-Three days later, the Thompson Group's board meeting took place as usual.Although Renee rarely attended these meetings, she was present this time, as was Zuko. When Renee entered the meeting room, her gaze met Zuko's, causing her to shiver momentarily. However, she quickly composed herself and sat as if nothing had happened.With everyone gathered, Zuko stood up and addressed the board with a chuckle. "Today's main topic is the Thompson Group's future deve

"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
