“Mom,” Zephyr answered helplessly and grumbled about Janine in his mind over a thousand times.

How could his own mother do him dirty like this!?

“Mom, what’s the matter?”

“You took care of it?”

“Of what?” Zephyr was perplexed.

“What are you talking about? Chad Green, duh!”

Janine opened fire on the line like a machine gun.

“Goodness, Zephyr, well done! This production we invested in costs so much. It’s a collaboration, yes, but we need to make sure everyone from the director to the actors is clean! No scandal! That Chad won an international award out of nowhere. Don’t you think it’s strange? Are you not looking him up?”

“I—”

Zephyr was going to say that he had, but Janine interrupted him.

“I knew that you hadn’t!”

“Mom!” Zephyr slapped a hand over his face.

“Hah, are you not doing anything if I don’t ask you to?”

Zephyr was at a loss for words.

“Zephyr Hamerton, you have shares in Imperial Media too! Look at how you’re acting as the big shareholder! Cordelia’s so much bet

    There was a distance between the bathroom and the recording site. Cordelia walked over slowly in her heels.However, she had the feeling that someone was following her.She was careful and slowed down. At present, she was standing in an empty corridor. The lights were rather dimmed, and the air was chilly.She turned her head, but there was nothing behind her apart from the dim corridor.She took a deep breath and thought she was overthinking.It was a TV station. People who managed to come in had to pass through security. There should not be any bad people here.Nevertheless…She thought about it and got her phone to text Zephyr quickly.[Zen, I’m powdering my face in the bathroom.]She did not write anything more. She only sent that and her location.That was the tacit understanding between them.She knew that he would come over as soon as he could. He would send someone to protect her even if he could not come.She smiled.Even if there was no one around, it was better

    Cordelia smiled coldly. Fortunately, she had sent her location to Zephyr. It was almost time. All she had to do was to hold this j*rk down!“Hah, I got what you mean now, Director Green.” Cordelia scoffed. “But please think carefully before you do disgusting things like this. Don’t offend people you can’t afford to offend, or you might die a horrible death!”“Wow, you’re threatening me?” Chad grinned. “You’re pretty, but you’re brutal… Haha, sure. I don’t need my dead body to be intact. I just want to die on top of you!”“Go away!”Cordelia used all of her power to push him away while tolerating her discomfort. However, his fat body was like a wall.She could not move him while he tried to kiss her.He was excited, as if he was shocked by electricity, when he smelled the fragrance on her body.“Ms. Jenner… I know you married a thug, and you’re not happy with your marriage… Don’t worry. I’ll fulfill your needs!”“Get off!”Just when he almost kissed her, she lifted her leg and

    Zephyr smiled awkwardly. He got the bodyguards to keep quiet while he quietly went forward to see.As he thought, Cordelia removed her heels and hit them hard on Chad’s head twice.He was bald, so it hurt extra for him. He was groaning in pain.Only then did she vent her anger. She put on her heels and stood there with her hands on her waist. Although her hair was a little messy, she was still majestic, like a heroine.Chad lay on the ground with his swollen face. He remained stubborn after being beaten up.“D-Don’t you know who I am, b*tches?!”“I don’t care who you are! I’ll beat you up no matter who you are!”“My movie won international awards—”“My husband is Zephyr Hamerton!”Cordelia enunciated fiercely and kicked him twice.Chad was dumbstruck as he looked at her with his mouth wide.Zephyr, who was out there, smirked. Pride was growing inside of him.“Alright, Ms. Jenner. The recording is starting. Stop wasting time with this j*rk!”“Okay!”Cordelia glanced at her

    “Ms. Lulham, the recording is starting soon.” Zephyr smiled lightly. “Don’t be late.”Trinity knew that she was unwelcome. He was indirectly telling her not to be a third wheel.Therefore, she left instantly.Zephyr smiled and held Cordelia’s hand as they walked out of the corridor. The bodyguards were walking slowly as they were dragging Chad. Chad tried his best to open his swollen eyes when they passed by him. He saw with his very own eyes that Cordelia and Zephyr were happily locking their fingers.He felt a chill in him.She was not kidding that he would die a devastating death…With Zephyr’s temper, he would slice him into a million pieces!…Everything was ready in the recording hall. However, Zephyr did not sit in the middle.“Mr. Hamerton, please come here…” The host wanted to take him to the middle.“No need,” he said calmly. “I saw the script of your show. The male and female leads will be chosen in this episode.“The main characters are important, but the directo

    The hosts on the stage were experienced.Although what happened surprised them, they calmed down immediately and got the letter from Zephyr.It was a report. The people who reported were the few young directors from the video clips.The male host remained calm and read the letter at normal speed. The entire recording site became dead silent instantly.Chad fell onto the ground from the shock, and his swollen face twitched.A heated discussion exploded after over ten seconds of dead silence.“So, that was how Mr. Green got his award!?”“The saying a leopard can't change its spots is right! He directed porn before, so how could he direct anything classy at all?”“That’s right. I was annoyed that he got an international award. So, he plagiarized!”“It’s humiliating the directors that he’s still around!”“Boycott him! Cancel him!”The people were yelling, getting more and more intense.Chad felt as if there were thousands of bees buzzing in his head. He looked around in a panic

    Frederic smiled. “Z, you’re really being more considerate to your father-in-law now!”Zephyr glared at him.Frederic only shrugged. Some people were just stubborn, but their heart was honest.It seemed that Zephyr and Rowan were quite similar in this case. Guess they were just destined to be a family!“Oh, yeah, don’t get too caught up with this father-in-law, Z. Friendly reminder, but your ex-father-in-law’s company is going down! You’ve got to watch out for him.”Zephyr frowned. What the heck?Frederic grinned. “Your ex-father-in-law, William Jenner?”When he looked up, Zephyr’s glower grew darker.“Cough!” Frederic quickly explained, “William Jenner’s company isn’t going that well. It seems like it’ll be going bankrupt soon.”“Really?” Zephyr sneered.He remembered that the company had been doing alright when they had still been in Jangasas. He’d even wanted to give Cordelia some shares back then. How had he managed to go bankrupt in just two years?“There must be a reaso

    However, he was in urgent need of the money right now. He could only get money from the Southeast Aciatic account in Xyla’s name.William bit his lip. It was a risky move. Who were the Irwins in Southeast Aciatic? They were tough and aggressive. They would not care about the money but they hated being deceived.If they found out that William had lied to them, for over 20 years no less, he could imagine the consequences.William paced back and forth in the room with a frown. He recalled what Chad had looked like when he had visited him in jail.Chad had been wrapped in gauze like a mummy and had actually been helped out by the jail warden while walking. His mental state had not been stable either. He had been a little crazy and he had not been speaking clearly because he had two teeth missing in the front.William despised him and had been about to turn around when he’d heard Chad mumbling, “Bro… your Cordelia’s d-doing so well now…“I can’t afford to offend her, no…“She has…

    “I don’t mind another person doting on you!”What Linda had said made Zephyr feel an impending sense of crisis.He stood outside the door, jealousy bubbling in him predictably.He knew that Cordelia shone like a diamond and he would not be able to just keep her away at home even if he wanted to. However, he had never expected his love rival to end up being a woman!With a scowl, Zephyr went downstairs and pulled out his phone on the balcony.He did not believe the speculations regarding Trinity’s sexual orientation either, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Having a solution was always better than not having one when it was needed.Robert’s phone rang for a long time.He was currently playing cards with Josiah. Remembering the few lessons he had been taught previously, he was determined not to show himself in front of Zephyr, so the farther away he was, the better. He had come to look for Josiah.Unfortunately, he received Zephyr’s call not too long into the game. The sou

    "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
