After a moment of silence, Neil replied softly, "We'll talk about it next time.""What do you mean 'talk about it next time'?" Zephyr's deep voice sounded."Cordelia asked you to do it, you do it now! What kind of man are you to stall it?"Neil was rendered speechless, complaining in his mind, 'Yes, you're high and mighty. You're a manly man!'Didn't you get the meal preparation company people over just because your wife wanted an in-flight meal in the middle of the night!?'Neil rolled his eyes back at Zephyr and snorted."I need to go to class at the film school. I'm taking my leave now!""Hey, you…" Zephyr had yet to finish, but Neil had already started walking.Cordelia smiled helplessly."Don't worry, darling. His visa's prolonged," Zephyr said softly."What?" Cordelia was stunned. "How did you know?"A certain Mr. Zephyr Hamerton was triumphant. "I got it done!""So, he has more time to consider if he wants to help Aurelia now?"Zephyr nodded with a smile.Cordelia

Janine side-eyed the person.Hannah's lackeys were really loyal. Did they think that their master could rise again?Janine had never regarded these people much back when Hannah was still part of the board of directors. Hannah could only act her way because of Noah. Now that she was no longer on the board of directors, what did her lackeys think they could amount to?Janine scoffed. "And what makes you think the audience won't buy it?"The person could not answer.Janine presented another graph, a report produced after several rounds of market surveys.From the data evaluation, the production was a niche film, but its reception would not be too bad. At least, there would be no problem trying for an international award."Besides, our company has numerous award-winning actors," said Janine. "As well as the prodigious director, Trinity Lulham. I don't have to tell you about her achievements. She's doing great recently, so this film isn't an issue!""Madam Baker, having many stars i

"Easy for you to say, Mr. Hamerton! Are the Hamertons paying for it?"Zephyr narrowed his eyes, a glint of iciness washing over them.The board of directors supported different parties, and there was a minority who was dissatisfied with Zephyr because his last name was Hamerton and not Baker."Half of Imperial Media's shares have the last name Baker. Are you going to pay for it?""Well…"Zephyr's commanding presence shushed everyone.The door to the meeting room opened suddenly, and a shrill voice echoed. "We'll pay for this investment!"Janine and Zephyr were stunned.Noah stood with Hannah beside him. The woman beamed in victory. Her gaze on Janine was challenging.The board of directors could not help exchanging whispers of comments."What are you doing here?" Janine got up and was going to call for security to drive her out.Hannah took a step forward, yelling shrilly, "What are you doing? We're here to invest in the film! Are you pushing money that's coming your way out

Cordelia nodded. There must be a hidden agenda, and Uncle Noah might not even know about it!"It's really unusual that they've suddenly set up a management company and could produce $15,000,000 right away." Cordelia bit her lips and said in a low voice, "I'll have to let Trinity know not to shoot the film first. This has to be postponed. And you've got to look into Prestige, honey!"Zephyr smiled and tapped twice on his laptop, immediately showing the detailed investigation result on Prestige Agency.Cordelia paused."Darling, do you have to say? I've got it done already!"Cordelia read that the capital Prestige Agency registered with was not much, and it only signed a handful of artists. The whole company only had a legal person, a manager, and a finance person."The legal person's Uncle Noah." Cordelia frowned. "Zephyr, if anything happens to the company, Uncle Noah's the one who will be held accountable legally!""Mm."Cordelia said, "And it doesn't look like a regular compa

"Because I love you and don't want you to suffer any grievances."…Janine waited in silence. She did not accept nor insist on rejecting the $15,000,000 Eropah dollars of investment Hannah offered. She wanted to wait for the latter to expose herself.Zephyr was like his mother. He kept waiting. Once the other party's patience ran out, they would naturally expose themselves. This was especially after he received Nicholas' call."The person you asked me to check the other time, I got it!""Mm." Zephyr lowered his voice. "What's the situation?"Nicholas' power was not in Melorian, but he had friends in gangs abroad, so he was able to find things out."You said that there's a boss around Melorian with a deep, grating voice? That's Cuck Cole!""What?" Zephyr nearly spat his coffee."Hahaha, it's said that people in the gangs call him that!" Nicholas said with a chuckle, "His real name's Chuck Cole, and he is coincidentally from Centrolis. He went to Ricos, then to Melorian after fa

"Hey, why are you just standing there?"Hannah turned around and looked at Aurelia coldly. "You're new here? Don't you know how to serve tea and snacks?"Aurelia calmed her thumping heart and turned to go to the kitchen for that. She kept her head lowered purposely to prevent Hannah from seeing her.Hannah rolled her eyes at Aurelia but felt strange about the latter's long chestnut-colored hair the moment she turned around.Hannah froze but went on and ran into Cordelia, who had just come out."Oh, Cordelia!"Cordelia nodded in greeting and smiled perfunctorily."What brings you here, Aunt Hannah?""Look at you! Can't I visit if there's nothing on?"Cordelia winced. What was it that people said? One would always curry favor with hidden intentions."Cordelia, I see you're getting further along now. Walking and stuff aren't too convenient now, huh?" Hannah wanted to go up and hold Cordelia's arm, but Cordelia avoided it discreetly."Thank you for your concern, Aunt Hannah. I'm

Aurelia's big eyes seemed to have lost their usual shine and held a hint of terror."Cordelia… that woman, I-I think I know her!"…Melorian's weather in June was damp, mild, and rainy. It was going to be summer, but the temperature remained low, especially chilly at night.Zephyr took a cardigan to drape on Cordelia, who was on the balcony, and hugged her from the back."What are you thinking about?"Cordelia reeled in her gaze to turn to Zephyr. "Zephyr, do you think what Aurelia said… is true?"Zephyr's gaze dimmed.Cordelia had told him all about Hannah's visit today and Aurelia's encounter during her abduction the other day."She was blindfolded that day, but she heard the voices clearly. Hannah spoke Acian, so it left a deep impression on her."Zephyr's expression was as grim as he clenched his fists.If this was really the case, Hannah cheated with Chuck, and Noah was kept in the dark…Once this was exposed, Noah would lose his wife and money, becoming the victim who

The next day, Neil nearly dropped his jaw in shock when he saw Aurelia at the door."Mr. Harris." The Chaiseland butler bowed gentlemanly. "Mr. Hamerton's instructed that Ms. Aurelia will stay here under your care from now on!"It took a moment for Neil to process it.This morning before he woke up, he received a call from Cordelia and groggily listened to her speak—something about it was no longer safe for Aurelia to stay with her, and they had something big to do and that they needed to protect Aurelia…He had thought that he was dreaming. That was why he agreed in passing when Cordelia mentioned sending Aurelia to him.It was unexpected that…"Hey, wait!" Neil did not manage to hold the butler but almost ran into Aurelia instead.Aurelia stood there timidly with her luggage, and Neil looked at her. Although he frowned with impatience, his hands moved on their own accord to take her bag from her.He asked for another room soon."Key card." He glanced at her. "You stay in thi

"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
