Chapter 956

Author: Breaking Wave
Lina was dumbstruck, freezing with the lollipop in her mouth for a long time.

Dave continued. "I heard he was recently released. They say he's skilled in combat. Regular thugs can't match him, and he's doing a great job managing the truck. All the merchandise he delivered has been in good condition.

"But he's always ignoring people! Whenever someone tries to talk to him, he ignores them, so eventually, people stop trying. They say he's either a fool or a pervert!"

He chuckled and added, "Oh, and his name is quite interesting too. It's Zeke Mason!"

She was shocked. "What?"

“No, no… Zeke Hamerton!”

"Zeke Hamerton…"

Lina shrugged and forgot about the name after finishing the lollipop.

It was considered peaceful in school for the next few days.

Although she would see Violet every day, they would not stir things up.

It was not the first time there was school violence. The school would side with the students with prominent backgrounds most of the time. As long as nobody was se

    The few people looked at Lina, who was in bed, and gulped unwillingly.However, they only dared to dream about sleeping with her in the presence of the Grists' princess.

Yet, at that very moment, he felt a sudden impact on his back, as one of them struck him with a rod!He knelt on the ground, forcing himself not to fall, but they tied him up and shoved him into an old van. It was silent throughout the journey.Unfazed by the situation, his expression remained stoic and cold. The hooligans instinctively cowered under the overwhelming aura ema

    Zuko was expressionless as he turned his face to look at the thugs and asked, "You can film, but my face will be exposed. Are you going to pay me or what?""What did you say?" The leader frowned. "Ha, so you're not stupid!""You'll have to buy a ticket to watch the movie," said Zuko."Do it now, I'm warning you! Or I'll cripple you and then throw you onto her. My job will be done!" snarled the leader.Ignoring the man's presence, Zuko fixed his gaze directly on him. After a moment, a chuckle escaped his lips.His chuckle sent shivers down their spines. As they prepared to teach him a lesson, he swiftly dodged their attack with remarkable agility. With a quick turn, he delivered a powerful kick to the person behind him, precisely targeting a vital point."Ah!" The leader rolled on the ground in pain.

    The ringing in Lina's ears persisted, distracting her as she stared blankly at the ceiling.Clutching the sheet tightly, she felt her heart ache, replaying the disturbing events in her mind. Violet had framed her, using a drug-laced handkerchief to incapacitate her.The realization left her in disbelief and filled her with anger.Tears welled up in Lina's eyes, falling silently into the pillow as the weight of the situation overwhelmed her. Sleep eluded her that night.She received calls from her family and Gia, but she couldn't bring herself to reveal the truth. Instead, she put on a brave face, assuring them that everything was fine and attributing her absence to exhaustion and a minor cold.When Lina finally spoke to Gia, her voice trembled with emotions. Unable to contain herself any longer, she confided in her friend, pouring out the painful details of what had happened."That's ridiculous!" Gia was roaring. "Don't let Violet go!"Lina forced a smile. How should she "not le

    Jesse was also a Jenner, but he was tens of thousands of miles apart from the Jenners.Back then, William, whose eyes were on top of his head, did not even spare a glance at broke relatives like Jesse, a distant one especially.After Jesse's first attempt to seek refuge with William failed, he decided to rely on his own efforts. He started by setting up a stall on the night market street and eventually saved enough money to open a shop, which had now become this small supermarket. It had been a journey of hardships and struggles, waking up early and working late, and only those who had experienced it firsthand could truly understand.This small supermarket was more important to him than his own life. Now, he had to make a choice between his life and his daughter."Jesse, have you lost your voice?" Melissa hugged Lina in her arms, patting her head just like when she was a child, with tears streaming down her face."Anyway... I disagree! Is there no justice in this world anymore? Ho

    As Zuko was about to reach the last store, he heard a commotion coming from across the street. Soon, shelves and merchandise were being thrown out of the small supermarket "Jazzy Mint".Zuko was taken aback. He heard a girl shouting in anger and a group of men mocking her and saw the arrogant Violet standing at the store entrance with a cold and malicious smirk."Lina Jenner, this is just a small warning for you!" Violet looked at the mess triumphantly. "If you dare to talk nonsense and defame us Grists again, I have ways to make you suffer!""Do the Grists need me to defame you when you do all those outrageous things?" Lina glared at her. "Violet, you better be careful. Karma will find your whole family!""You little b*tch, how dare you curse me?" barked Violet.Lina ignored her directly and tidied up the things on the ground. The fruits and vegetables in the store were smashed, and the bottled drinks were shattered. The only things she could salvage were the packaged snacks.Ho

    "Violet, are you crazy!?" Lina trembled with anger.When Zuko stood before her, Lina instinctively took a few steps back."All of you... get lost! Or I'll call the police!""Don't scare me with the police!" Violet gloated. "Lina, if I don't see your marriage certificate with this idiot within three days, I'll return to smash your store!"Even if you call the police, they'll make me compensate you! Hah! The Grists don't lack money. I'll just think I'm feeding the dogs!Violet sneered coldly, her lips curling. "But it's different for your parents. If you're willing to let them see how I destroy their lifetime of hard work with their own eyes, then go ahead and oppose me!""You!" Lina raised her hand abruptly, but that slap never landed. She knew the Grists had power and influence, so the Grist Group's products would still circulate in the market even if she reported and resisted.Even though her family's small supermarket was smashed like this, there was not a single neighbor arou

    Lina felt like she should say something but did not know what to say. Every time she thought about Ziuko, her heart felt like it was being gnawed at by ants, causing unbearable pain. However, if Ziko had not been there, she would have had a hard time dealing with it alone. Lina bit her lip, and in her mind, these words flashed like lightning—three days, marriage certificate, smashing the store.She took a deep breath, and a bold thought emerged."Z-Zeke," she tried calling his name, "Your name is Zeke, right?"Zuko's back stiffened, and he paused in arranging the shelves. Even though he was facing away from her, he could still sense her trembling."Zeke, how about... we stay together?" she asked."What?" Zuko's tone changed as he turned around abruptly, his deep gaze fixed on her.What nonsense was this girl saying!?He had only helped out a little when he saw an injustice. Was he being repaid with ingratitude? Was she going to cling to him for the rest of her life?Lina noti

    "I am Lina Jenner," Lina uttered her name after a moment and continued turning around to tidy up the shelves.Zuko was somewhat surprised. "You're also a Jenner?"Lina looked at him. "What's wrong?" Zuko lightly shook his head, a cold and stern profile with a faint hint of a smile.'What a coincidence, she is also a Jenner.'However, Zuko's mother had only used the surname Jenner in the first half of her life. For this special reason, Zuko could not help but look at Lina a few more times.Unlike the disheveled appearance that night, she now exuded a sense of clarity and purity. Even in a regular white shirt and jeans, she appeared extraordinary. Moreover, she was beautiful.The corners of Zuko's lips curved up slightly, a smile he himself did not even notice....Lina and Zuko agreed that he would go home and pack his things tonight and move in the next day.

    "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
