“It’s late, Mr. Smith. Am I bothering you?”

Mr. Smith smiled. The bar was quiet. There would be saxophone tunes playing every now and then. The people next to him could hear him when he talked on the phone.

Robert looked at him with slight confusion. He picked up the glass of whisky and then put it down slowly.

Mr. Smith asked softly, “Does Ms. Jenner need anything?”

“Investigate someone for me,” said Cordelia. “Find out everything about her! I don’t want the official information on the Internet… You get what I mean, right, Mr. Smith?”

“Sure, I’ll do it right away. I wonder who Ms. Jenner is talking about?”

“Michelle Carmichael from Sol Entertainment.”

Mr. Smith was stunned and looked at Robert with doubt.

He was bright and knew Cordelia well. She would not investigate someone for nothing.

He had heard of Michelle. She was considered an attractive lady from a decent family and was recently signed by Sol Entertainment.

It seemed Cordelia was not investigating Michelle for Lind

    The preparations for the new movie were coming to an end. Shooting would start soon. However, Trinity did not seem to be fully in it. She had missed a few meetings.When Cordelia asked her out for a cup of coffee, she put it down after taking two sips. She looked out of the window, moody.Cordelia felt she looked like those female leads in movies who had just broken up.She felt a squeeze in her heart as she thought that.What would Trinity do about the movie if she had just broken up? She knew that a person like her, who relied on her talent, would prioritize her mood and inspiration in order to direct movies.Cordelia wanted to talk to her, but she could not bring it up if Trinity did not.She was bored, so she took out her phone and began scrolling. Suddenly, a video caught her attention.It was a beautiful girl singing while playing the guitar. Her voice was sweet, and her fans were giving her gifts. More than 100,000 people were watching her live stream.Cordelia smiled, “

    Cordelia was stunned. “Mr. Constable?”Trinity tried to cover it immediately. “Oh, nothing. I’m just asking! Isn’t he your husband’s best friend? I thought he should be there if your husband’s going!”Cordelia nodded and thought something was up.Trinity knew she was so smart that she might have seen through her.Therefore, she tried her best to squeeze a casual smile to cover it. “Err… I actually need to talk to Mr. Constable! I want to ask him about the film rights law, and also…”“Film rights?” Cordelia was stunned again. “Why do you have to worry about that? Imperial Media is very professional in law. They’ve already drafted the contract!”Trinity was taken aback. Her cheeks flushed as if she had a fever.Cordelia chuckled.Trinity would usually not talk so much, let alone talk about someone.However, she revealed another side of her.“Mr. Constable should be there,” said Cordelia. “You can ask him anything by then.”Trinity nodded in panic and downed the cold coffee at

    “He’s still single anyway. I already got that information!”“But… what about Mr. Constable?”Michelle pouted.She knew that Fredric liked her since they were in school. It had been years, and she knew that he still liked her.However, she did not like him.The Constables were just a family of academics. They were too different from the major families like the Hamertons and Bayers.She had been the queen bee in school. Naturally, she would have to marry the best!Nancy was a little worried. “Mich, do you really want to approach Zephyr? I think Mr. Constable isn’t bad. At least he’s sincere about his feelings for you…“Meanwhile, Zephyr is unpredictable. I’m afraid you can’t get a hold of him.”“What are you saying!” Michelle glared at her.Nancy pursed her lips and kept quiet.She knew that Michelle was talented as well as ambitious.Perhaps it was bad luck that she had achieved nothing for years.If she could really be with Zephyr, it would be one way out…Nancy sighed so

    Fredric nodded respectably and got Mandy a glass of wine.She was impressed by his look today.From what she remembered, he was usually quite rigid. Perhaps it was because it was his job that he was quiet and hardly smiled. He was always in a suit. He was usually at the court or on the way to the court.Today, it was rare that he wore a beige suit. Such a color would not match everyone. However, it looked perfect on him. He looked like a model walking out of a poster.Mandy took a good look at Fredric and chuckled. “You’re quite handsome today, Mr. Constable! Young people should dress like this. You’d look like you have more life to you with bright colors!”He coughed softly, revealing a subtle smile in his eyes.He had been looking for someone at the banquet.He had no idea that someone else was watching him from far away. That person had even picked a suit that was the same color as his.That person had been squeezing the button on the suit, having an emotional roller coaster

    Michelle’s mind went blank. She stood dumbly in front of the man, not daring to breathe any louder.She found Zephyr to be cold and emotionless back when they were in school. Now that they had graduated, he was only more of that than warming up.Despite that, Michelle did not want to back down. After all, the temptation of the Hamerton name was still significant.She took a deep breath and quickly adjusted herself, putting on a fawning but natural smile.“Zephyr, we haven’t met for years, and this is how you’re treating your long-time schoolmate?”Zephyr narrowed his eyes.The woman was unreasonable. If Josiah had not reminded him, he would never have remembered her as his schoolmate.At the same time, it frustrated him that Cordelia had not sent him any message.He got up to leave.Michelle was alarmed seeing that he was leaving and quickly followed, only to see another woman coming their way shortly.The woman was slightly lacking in looks compared to the other female celeb

    Cordelia rushed to the Tanners after she was done with work and only remembered to send Zephyr a text when she was on her way.[Been waiting for long? I’ll be there soon!]Zephyr was bored out of his mind in the restroom, nearly bouncing off the couch when his phone pinged. It was his private phone with only Cordelia’s number saved.This woman finally thought of him, huh?Zephyr squinted and read the sentence repeatedly, and an unnoticeable hint of smile colored his eyes. He thought that he must not reply to her so fast. He ought to let her have a taste of being left in the blind—for at least 15 minutes!In spite of it, at the tenth second of receiving the text, his fingers were already typing furiously on the screen.[It’s okay. Work’s important!]He stared at the screen smiling after sending it before his expression changed abruptly. Would it look like he was too accommodating in replying to her like this?He quickly withdrew the reply and began typing again.[Cordelia, I’ve

    Cordelia smiled. “Ms. Carmichae, you can call me Ms. Jenner. I’m Zephyr’s partner of the night.”Michelle snorted and rolled her eyes.Partner? How could she say something so shameless!?“Excuse me, Ms. Jenner.” She was pompous in front of Cordelia. “Mr. Zephyr already has a partner. It’s me!”It felt like something clenched Cordelia’s heart as a faint ache spread throughout her limbs.Zephyr, oh Zephyr! It seemed that the dozen unsent messages earlier were most likely to tell her that his unforgettable love was also there tonight.Cordelia took a deep breath and felt her temples throb.When she got Michelle’s information, she used to picture many scenarios of their meeting. She had even rehearsed what she should say with what expression and what action.When they actually met now, though, it was an entirely different case.The corners of Cordelia’s lips twitched. She kept reminding herself that she must not lose her cool here. She had to settle this unforgettable love first a

    “Why didn’t you call me when you got here so I could pick you up?”The man’s voice was husky and gentle, but it tugged at the jealousy burning in her.“Zephyr, I wouldn’t dare call you,” Cordelia replied softly. “Your woman’s stopping me here!”Zephyr scowled at once, his icy gaze gleaming viciously.Michelle was dumbfounded. What was going on?Zephyr had clearly said that he did not like other women approaching him, so what was up with this woman whom he was hugging like a gem?Michelle’s heart drummed. She sucked in a cold breath. “Zephyr, this—”“Oh, Michelle, what’s that?” The female celebrities instigated, “Is Mr. Hamerton’s name for you to call?”“You all—”“Michelle, how could you talk to Ms. Jenner like this? And to stop her from coming in? Gosh, are you going to replace her as Mrs. Hamerton next?”Cordelia suppressed her urge to smile, pushing down all that upward ticking of her lips.As expected of the artists she personally guided… Their swift change of acting ski

    "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
