“N-No… Grandpa…”

Yale’s originally pale face went even paler. He looked at Cordelia with a vicious gleam in his eyes.

Cordelia smirked. “Yale, what you said just now was more than clear. Grandpa has heard it himself. If you argue now, are you saying that there’s something wrong with grandpa’s ears, and he can’t even understand you?

“Or…” Cordelia arched a brow and stared back at him equally ruthlessly. “Or what you said isn’t human at all, so others can’t understand?”

“You little b*tch!”

Yale looked savage as he raised a fist and pounced at Cordelia.

Liam coughed, prompting the bodyguards behind him to step forward and pin Yale down.

“How dare you still behave so atrociously in front of me?”

The old man was aged, but his authoritative presence made sure that everyone did not dare act out of line in front of him.

Yale did not dare utter another word, not that he could. The bodyguards had locked both his arms behind his back, and he was hissing in pain.

    “I trusted you too much in the past. That’s why I nearly made a grave mistake!”Liam’s cane knocked against the floor harshly.Liam had always been under the impression that even if Matthew was limited in abilities and was not that smart, sometimes a little problematic in character, it was all fine—as long as he did not do anything out of line.Moreover, Matthew was the only one out of his children who was good with words and often made him happy. That was why he turned a blind eye to what Matthew did.Even when Zephyr repeatedly told him that there were issues with Matthew, he felt that his grandson was insensible and advised the young man that his uncle was family. He should try getting along with him.He regretted it so much now!He glared at Matthew and Yale. “This isn’t your first time doing dirty deeds like this! I haven’t even settled the score about William Jenner sneaking into Zephyr’s home to steal Mr. Irwin’s medicinal formulas!”“Dad, listen to me!” Matthew was close

    Liam did not say anything.He looked at Matthew and Yale coldly. The seconds of silence felt like the study room was thrown into a vacuum. There was immense pressure hanging just above their heads as their lips quivered, and they stayed quiet.Suddenly, Liam picked up the crystal ashtray on the table and hurled it toward them.“B*stards!”“Ah!” Yale, whose reflexes were fast, crouched down, hugging his head. While Matthew was not hit, he did not manage to avoid it, and the ashtray landed right by his foot.Liam was furious. “You… Hah, my dear son and grandson! How did the Hamertons have pieces of trash like you two!?”They were not just pieces of trash! They were fools! So much for an unsought confession.Cordelia watched everything indifferently.“Take your son and leave!” Liam picked up his cane and hit Matthew’s calf.The jolt of pain made Matthew yowl. As if this hit was cursed, it also crushed the last of father and son love left in him.With a pale face, Matthew balled

    Cordelia asked Clark to call the family doctor over to give Liam a full check at once, then she went to Yale and said with a smile, “Lead the way, Yale!”“What?” Yale pretended not to understand.Cordelia smiled, replying clearly, “To catch the affair red-handed!”Yale could not refuse. He and Matthew were like the Hamertons’ weeds—everyone could step on them.The bodyguards kept him pinned as he took Cordelia to Yale Residence.Michelle was applying some meds to Marcus in the guest room as she pretended to shed a few tears. She wanted to throw herself at him, but the man shouted, “Don’t come over!”The changed tone shocked Michelle.The injuries on Marcus throbbed once they were pulled, causing him to hiss.“Zephyr…” Michelle told him softly, “I’ve spent a couple of days here with you since you got injured!”“Hmm? Oh…” Marcus thought that she wanted money and waved an impatient hand. “Go to Yale if you want money. I’ve signed plenty of documents. That’ll make him lots of mone

    Cordelia sounded confident and very much like the missus of the home.Despite that, Michelle purposely wrapped her arms around Marcus’ neck and looked at her challengingly.“Mrs. Hamerton, this is Yale Residence, so it’s Mr. Yale’s place, right? How is it right when the Hamertons prioritize courtesy and manners, but you make such a big fuss coming here with your cousin-in-law held down and teaching your husband a lesson?”Cordelia paused before she chuckled. She only knew that Michelle had ulterior motives in the past but had not thought that she was so stupid!“Ms. Carmichael, are you sure the person you’re hugging is my husband?”Michelle froze. She looked at Marcus, but the latter avoided her gaze. She thought it was a normal reaction from the man. After all, which man would not panic when caught red-handed in their affair? Besides, was Cordelia trying to say that she would divorce him?It would be even better in that case. There was a sense of triumph in Michelle’s expression

    The police officer approached Marcus and showed him his identification.“Marcus Grist?” The officer snickered. “You impersonated Zephyr Hamerton and forged his signature to sign Hamerton Group’s important documents. The alleged sum is 45,000,000 dollars. The police will be charging you for fraud!“The documents you’ve signed do not have any legal effect!”Marcus felt like his heart was going to stop as his eyes were close to bulging. Before he could react, he was handcuffed, and two officers escorted him out.“It’s not me! Not me!” Marcus yelled, “It’s not me… It’s Yale Hamerton! He asked me to sign them. I…”His voice grew more distant until it completely disappeared.Cordelia breathed a long breath of relief and met Zephyr’s gentle eyes. The smile in his gaze was her best compliment.“Let’s go home,” he said softly.Cordelia nodded and turned to look at Yale with a slight frown. “Zephyr, he…”Zephyr looked over as well.It was at the same time Yale suddenly fell to the gr

    Robert escorted Zephyr back to Zen Residence, and the doctor arrived soon to disinfect and patch him up. Cordelia was just beside them, watching in concentration.The Internet was buzzing with life. A short afternoon and a night later, the trending topics were all about the Hamertons.[Zephyr Hamerton’s signature forged by impersonator][Yale Hamerton attempts to kill his cousin]…Speculations and insider news were published one after another, and the audience had a field trip with it, nearly paralyzing the Internet.However, Cordelia was not in the mood for that. She was occupied with Zephyr’s wound and memorizing the doctor’s instructions of what medicine to consume once every how many hours.When Cordelia and Zephyr returned to Royal Manor at night, she held her husband carefully. Zephyr had just stepped his left foot into the door, and she was bringing him his slippers. It made his right foot hover in the air for some time.“Darling, you don’t have to be like this!” He s

    “Dad… Dad?” Cordelia saw Rowan rolling his eyes and then pursing his lips on the screen and was puzzled. She had no idea what was going on with him and called out a few times. “Dad, what are you thinking about?”“Oh, n-nothing!” Rowan snapped out of it and chuckled. “Cordelia, you’ve got to wash his wound often if you want it to heal fast!”“Huh?” Cordelia paused. She had been under the impression that wounds could not come into contact with water too often.Zephyr, who was in bed, nearly huffed out a laugh from his disgruntled scowl.“Of course.” Rowan cleared his throat. “You mustn’t use normal water.””Oh…”“You have to use hydrogen peroxide!”Cordelia listened carefully and jotted hydrogen peroxide on the paper.Rowan continued. “Uh… Cordelia, hydrogen peroxide is an anti-inflammatory disinfectant. It’s very useful for washing wounds! Give him 100% in concentration, okay? Disinfect him nicely so that he heals faster when his wound’s taken care of! 100% concentration, rememb

    Zephyr looked at them and responded dully. “Oh.”It looked like he was not quite interested.Both men exchanged a look in puzzlement and heard Cordelia’s sweet voice. “Seth and Fredric? Come in, have a seat!”It was only then Zephyr moved away with a scowl.Cordelia greeted them with a nod and smile and went to cut up some fruits in the kitchen.Seth and Fredric were smart people and could immediately guess what happened when they saw her blush and Zephyr’s disgruntlement. They could not help chuckling.It used to be Josiah and Robert who interrupted the couple, so it was quite a surprise that the two of them would be doing it too.“What is it?” Zephyr looked at Seth.It was as if his scowl was telling the doctor that he would not let him off the hook if there was no major discovery.Seth pressed his lips together and retrieved a lab test result. The data on it was mind-boggling.Despite that, Zephyr had always had extremely strong immunity and analysis ability regarding vari

    "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
