Neil turned back and saw Helene, who was glaring daggers at him with her hands on her hips.Neil was annoyed that he was hit for no reason and wanted to vent it on someone, but he had goosebumps once he saw Helene’s temperament…“Let go of her!” Helene shouted stubbornly, “Let! Go!”Neil was frustrated. He would have lashed out if it was a usual day, but it was strange today.Helene, who was pale and fragile, seemed to tower over him somehow. He could only stare at her without being able to get a word out.After a long time, Neil could only say, “W-What are you doing?”Helene harrumphed loudly and shoved him away to put herself in front of Aurelia.Her frail body formed a stark contrast against the tall and muscular Neil.It was just that she did not seem afraid at all facing this big man.Neil could not help thinking of a story. A hunter was hunting in the forest. His hound had found a baby bird that had fallen to the ground from its nest and was going to sniff it out when th
However, Neil could not leave. Helene stopped in front of him and shoved him the half-done clothes!"You can only leave after you're done with the embroidery!""What!?"Aurelia laughed until her stomach hurt seeing Neil's face that could be made into a meme.Helene grabbed Aurelia's hand and raised her head proudly. She took her to the side place."Let the bad guy do it! Let him do it all!"He can't bully you if he's doing embroidery!""Hmph!"Neil looked at the two of them in disbelief. Aurelia turned her head to show her tongue and made a silly face before leaving.…Zephyr had been helping Jim translate the documents the past few days.Apart from Chaisene and Feransai, he had also mastered a bit of Espany. With the help of a dictionary, it was not too difficult for him to do the translation.It was close to midnight. Cordelia brought a glass of milk to the study and placed it into his hand. She then massaged his shoulders."Is our son sleeping?" Zephyr looked up from th
Cordelia could not help but laugh when she saw Zephyr's miserable face.She stretched her arms to hug his neck and kiss his lips.He saw something from her sly doe eyes. Was this lady just pulling his leg?Seven sons? She was funny to be able to come up with that!He would not allow her to, even if she wanted that many sons!How would it be like to have seven brats?! He did not need a water polo team!Zephyr thought and smirked. He unleashed his wild side while grabbing her shoulders…"Ah, Zen!" She did not expect to be exposed so soon. "Do you really want seven sons?""Wifey, why don't we make a bet?""What?""I bet the next one… will definitely be a daughter!""Mmph!" He kissed her before she managed to say anything.…On the next day, Cordelia felt sore everywhere. She lay in bed, willing to move.She had assumed she would trick him by saying they would have seven sons before having a daughter… However, her husband was terrible. Not only did he expose her, but he even
Cordelia widened her eyes and almost lost her breath from laughing. She quickly carried Zuko.Zephyr sat up, his hair messy. He was shocked, and there was no longer light in his eyes.Little Zuko thought it was fun, so he clapped while giggling.Zephyr kept taking deep breaths and told himself, "He's my son, my son, my son!""Hubby, a-are you okay?"Zephyr forced a smile and only squeezed out two words after a long time. "I'm okay.""Then…" Cordelia wanted to ask if he would continue translating for Jim today when her phone rang. It was a call from Southeast Aciatic."Cordelia, are you up?" It was Rowan's voice.Little Zuko snatched the phone when he heard his grandfather's voice. “Grandpoo, grandpoo!”"My little darling, do you miss grandpoo?" Rowan laughed happily. "Come back soon. Grandpoo will bring you to catch fireflies!"But grandpoo needs to talk to your mommy now. Can you wait?"Zuko nodded, not sure if he understood. He handed the phone to his mother and buried him
Zephyr glared at Zuko, attempting to grab his chubby leg and toss him aside.However, Cordelia quickly carried their son before he could do it.He sighed. So there was a third wheel between them, after all…"Hey, are you going to be petty with your son?" She smiled at him while carrying the baby. "Have you translated the documents for Uncle Bond?""Mm-hmm, all done.""Then let's…"He smirked. "We can go to Southeast Aciatic to reveal the truth now!"…Aurelia ran in panic from the west palace."Help! Help!"Her cry echoed in the big palace. However, there were many guards in the west palace. She was stopped when she arrived at the door."Please let me out!" She was teary. 'Please get doctors to save Princess Lene! She's… dying!"The guards looked at each other. Though doubtful, they dared not delay as someone in the royalty was involved. They quickly reported to Queen Carmella.Soon, the queen appeared outside the west palace, with Victoria following behind her.Aurelia w
It would be even better if they would confiscate Irwin Pharmaceuticals' assets…"Auntie, we must capture Mr. Irwin!" Victoria was adding oil to the fire. "He intended to murder a royal. He should be executed!"Carmella frowned and glared at her.The execution would depend on the judiciary!She spoke without thinking in front of so many people. If she really became the queen in the future and spewed nonsense on important international events, would she not embarrass the entire Southeast Aciatic?Carmella sighed heavily and looked at Aurelia. She asked coldly. "Did you notice anything unusual when you were in the west palace?"The latter gripped at the corner of her shirt and rolled her doe eyes. She was shaking and biting her lip—it was the acting technique that Neil had taught her.He had said people would behave like that when they were scared.She had failed to act that out over ten times before Neil trained her to perfection."Your Majesty, Your Highness…" She was shaking a
Soon, the entire Irwin Pharmaceuticals was seized.All of the medicine factories under them were asked to stop production. The pharmacies were shut, and trading with other countries had been paused.Even the few hospitals under them could not take in patients.Within a short few days, the business felt like it had fallen, making everyone in the family worried.Martin did not believe it when he first heard that.From what he remembered, Rowan was giving and noble. Not only had he brought Irwin Pharmaceuticals to a new height, but they maintained the same price for all medicines for 20 years when all of the pharmaceutical companies had a price hike.One could do charity once or twice, for a month or two months.Who would do something that put them at a disadvantage for 20 years?Martin frowned, thinking something must be up. There might be some misunderstandings in between.However, Carmella seized the opportunity to suppress his doubts. "Your Majesty, if this happened to someon
"Yo, so this is Mr. Z of the Hamertons?"A middle-aged man looked at the video on his phone and revealed a cryptic smile, especially after hearing Zephyr say, "Do you think we're pushovers?".Rowan poured himself a cup of tea as he stared at the chessboard, figuring out what to do next."I'm talking to you. Why are you looking at the chessboard?"Rowan lifted his hand and put the chess piece down. "Gotcha!"The man widened his eyes. "You…""Who asked you to check out my son-in-law instead of paying attention to chess?"The man gave him a look of disdain, just like looking down on the enemy on the battlefield before.Rowan smiled as he happily ate the snacks the man brought. He even got him to bring more medical books when he returned next time so that he would be less bored.It was an isolated courtyard with an artificial mountain, flowers, and plants. If one did not see the many guards outside, it would be hard to imagine this was a part of the Southeast Aciatic Prison.Th
