Grace had arrived in the living room. She looked back toward the stairs. Knowing that Louis wasn't chasing her, she snorted.

"He thinks I'm playing around with my words?"

Grace reached into her handbag to get her phone. Shifting her jaw, she waited for someone to answer her call.

"Are you still interested in destroying Louis?" she asked as someone greeted her from the other side of the phone.

A few moments later, she spoke again, "Don't deny it. I know you still have that video. Spread it throughout the whole world right now. I want everyone to know that the girl named Sky Hills is cunning and shameless. I want everyone to side with me and curse her—curse what she and Louis have done."

Silence ensued again, but this time, a thin smile appeared on Grace's face. "Good. I appreciate your courage. I can't wait to see her fall."

After ending the call, Grace returned her phone to her bag. She was about to walk towards the exit. Unexpectedly, someone pulled on her dress. When she looked back

    "Because your mother won't leave if she knows that's my order," Grace answered lightly. "She'll just stay here, and Louis will definitely forbid you from leaving. Your mission to be responsible could be ruined.""So, I can't say that I asked Mommy to go home for responsibility?" Summer shook her head slightly.Grace nodded. "Yes, you should make another excuse. You can say that you miss your home or feel bored here. Up to you. The important thing is you leave without bringing Louis. It's even better if he doesn't know. That way, you can leave without any drama or arguments."Summer was pensive. After a few blinks, she finally let out a heavy sigh. "Okay. I'll do it well. Please remember your promise. Don't spread the video and make Mommy fall."Grace didn't answer yes or no. She just raised her eyebrows, checking the time and the surrounding conditions."Well then, I'll wait for the good news. Don't fail to carry out your responsibilities."Grace turned to leave. Summer just blinked a

    Biting her lip, Summer shook her head. "No, Mommy. I really want to go home.""Why? Aren't you excited about doing a lot of things here? You've made a lot of promises to others. We're going to hang out with Emily tomorrow, right?"Summer blinked listlessly. "Yes, but I really miss Grandpa and Grandma. I want to go home, Mommy. Grandpa and Grandma must miss us too.""Are you sure? Then what about your promises? Don't you like breaking promises?""I can do that another time, Mommy. Now, can you book plane tickets for us to go home tomorrow morning?"Sky fell silent for a moment. Her eyes blinked at her daughter, trying to find a clue in her face."What just happened, Summer? Did you really go to the library?""Yes, Mommy," Summer answered quietly."Did you meet Grace? She's the one who told you to leave?"Summer blinked once, then shook her head with a blank face. "No, Mommy. If I had met her, I would have run away. She's scary. We shouldn't get close to her.""You're not lying, aren't

    "Hello, Louis. You finally care about me again. Have you come to your senses now? Do you want to apologize?" Grace answered in an intimidating voice."You're the one who should apologize, Ace! Do you realize what you've done? You've slandered Sky!" Louis' voice exploded with anger."Slander?" Grace replied in a surprised tone. A second later, her laughter sounded thin and annoying. "I just revealed the truth, Louis. What we witnessed was what happened on the field. Not a single second of the video was faked.""The video wasn't faked, but you deliberately edited it so that Sky looked guilty! Delete the video right now! Don't make the misunderstanding worse," Louis said firmly."I didn't edit it, Louis. I just asked for the truth to be revealed, and I can't delete it. I wasn't the one who uploaded it."Louis closed his eyes to hold back his anger. His blood vessels would burst if he didn't immediately control his emotions."Then tell me ... who uploaded the video," Louis whispered, emph

    After the video sharing platform had gone down, Louis called someone."Hello, Brandon. Are you sleeping?" he greeted his best friend."Of course I am. You don't know what time it is? Even the sun is still hiding in the other hemisphere. What's wrong?" the hoarse voice replied.Louis pursed his lips. He looked a little embarrassed. "Is your private jet available?""Yes. I don't have any plans to travel this week. Why?"Louis tapped his fingers on the table. "Can I borrow it?" he asked with a heavy heart."Did I hear you right? You want to borrow my private jet? Didn't you and Emily always criticize my decision to buy it? You said that private jets are bad for the environment. Their carbon emissions are greater than commercial flights.""Yes, indeed. Private jets are the most polluting form of transport. I wouldn't use them unless it was an emergency like this," Louis explained resignedly."Where are you going with my jet?"Louis tapped the table again. "M City. I need to teach someone

    "Louis?" Sky whispered hoarsely.Louis' hand was cupping her cheek. His smile was thin, and his gaze was sad."What are you doing here?" Sky whispered, glancing at the clock. "You're not sleeping? Why are you dressed like this? Where are you going?""Did I wake you up?" Louis changed the subject. He stroked Sky's cheek with his thumb, his gaze suddenly full of love."Yes. You kissed my forehead. You promised not to touch me as long as you were still Grace's lover, remember?"Louis' face turned sour. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up. I also didn't mean to break my promise. I just wanted to say goodbye.""Where are you going?" Sky repeated her question with more emphasis."I have something to take care of in M City."Sky's eyes widened. "M City? Does it have something to do with our scandal?"Louis nodded. "But you don't need to worry. I will clear up all the misunderstandings. This problem will be over soon, and your reputation will be good again.""How? What are you planning?"Loui

    Upon arriving at M City, Louis immediately called Summer. His heart felt heavy because he didn't have time to say goodbye before leaving.Unfortunately, Summer didn't pick up the phone. That made Louis restless."Is she so busy having fun with Emily that she doesn't have time to pick up my call?" he muttered to himself.After a brief consideration, Louis put his phone in his pocket. "Okay. Maybe I should focus on my mission first.""So, where are we going, Sir?" Omega asked, making the other guards glance at him in surprise."Do you still not understand? Or were you sleeping when I explained it?" Louis replied, making the youngest guard lower his head."Sorry, Sir. I thought you might have changed your mind."Louis snorted. "Kendrick still hasn't held a press conference, and his time is running out. I never joke around when I give warnings. Let's go to his hotel! I can't wait to surprise him."Meanwhile, somewhere else, Summer was still lying weak. An IV line was connected to her hand

    The manager's mouth trembled violently. He wanted to speak, but his tongue was too stiff.It was then the male receptionist spoke up again, "Sir, we didn't mean to get in your way. It's just that the recording is no longer there. It's useless for you to look for it.""If the recording is gone, you guys shouldn't be afraid. Just let me check it with my own eyes. It won't be a problem, right?"The young receptionist lowered her head. Louis' gaze was too intense for him."My apologies, Sir. I just meant to protect the reputation of this hotel. That's one of my duties."Louis nodded. "I can understand that. You are a good employee, but what about your boss?" He shifted his gaze to the side.As the manager's body tensed up again, Louis continued, "If you really care about the reputation of this hotel, you should help me. Don't be afraid of Kendrick. This hotel belongs to his family, not just him. He could be kicked out, and you'd still be safe. Or do you want to be kicked out too?"The man

    "Have you watched the video of Kendrick and the rainbow-haired girl? Now you know who really set me up," Louis stated firmly. Then, he lifted his chin slightly to look more convincing."Kendrick was the mastermind behind my scandal. He deliberately invited me to his hotel bar so he could put drugs in my drink. After I was drunk, he ordered that rainbow-haired girl to take me to a room. You must know what dirty tricks she was going to play. Luckily, Sky came to save me."The comments flooded in again. Everyone was cursing Kendrick. They were now curious about what happened next. How could Sky be pregnant with Louis' child?However, there were still a few people who doubted Louis' statement. They asked for concrete evidence.Luckily, Louis had already thought of that possibility. He continued, "I still haven't managed to get the CCTV footage from five years ago. Therefore, please give me a moment. I will show you the truth soon. While you wait, I hope you can consider the hate speech yo

    "Wow! Look at my girl! Isn't she charming?" Draco whispered to his co-worker.Angelica watched Sky with an unhappy face. She realized that it wasn't just Draco who was captivated by Sky, but almost all the visitors."Tch, what charm? I actually feel sorry for that green dress. It should look magnificent on my body," Angelica said, sarcastically. "And that handsome and perfect guy, he should be holding my hand."Draco snorted in disgust. In his heart, he cursed Angelica for daring to compare herself to Sky."I know you can't wait to touch that guy, but please hold on. Don't do anything until I give you the signal. Remember. We are carrying out my plan right now."Angelica sighed lazily. "Okay. How long do I have to wait?""Just let them enjoy their meal. Wait until they are off guard."Angelica nodded in understanding. Meanwhile, Sky was chuckling. Louis had just treated her like a noble."Welcome to this very humble ballroom, Mrs. Harper," Louis said while bowing like a servant to the

    Knowing his wife's dirty thoughts, Louis laughed faintly. "I want us to get ready for dinner. I'm getting hungry. If we have time, let's turn on our phones for a while. I suddenly miss our little princess."Sky chuckled. "Good idea, Louis. Let's go to our cabin!"Louis and Sky left the lido deck with warm hearts. They didn't realize that Draco was smiling lopsidedly at them."Wait for me, Sky. I'll take you away from him tonight," he thought impatiently.A few moments later, Louis and Sky had turned on their phones. Finding deleted messages from Summer, worry arose in their hearts."Did Summer contact you?" Sky asked while glancing at the phone next to her."Yeah, she sent me several messages, but they've been deleted. I wonder what she sent."Sky shrugged. "Let's call her."Soon afterward, Summer answered in her cute voice. "Hello, Mommy? Why did you call me? Shouldn't you be having fun with Daddy?""Hi, Honey. We suddenly miss you. What are you doing?" Sky asked, glancing at Louis w

    Draco laughed faintly. "Sorry, Mr. Harper. I didn't mean to seduce your wife. I just wanted to say hello to an old friend. So, do you remember me, Sky? I'm Draco. You guided me when we were teenagers."Sky froze. Her eyes narrowed, busy searching for that memory."Still don't remember?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow. "I was on a tour around Europe. You worked as a guide. Back then, you were the youngest guide at the HealingHills Travel Company. That fact amazed me. I even asked for your picture and autograph."Sky shook her head faintly. "Sorry. I took too many pictures and autographs.""We met again a few years later, by chance, in Canada. Summer was still very young at that time," Draco added a hint.Louis' eyebrows were knitted even more tightly. "You know Summer?" he muttered in an unamused tone.Draco nodded lightly. "Yes, she was a cute little baby. Even though she couldn't talk yet, I could already feel her chatty aura. How is she? Has she grown into a cheerful and resourcefu

    Angelica's expression turned serious. She looked at her phone. The call she received turned out to be on SIM-card 2."Where did you get my number?" she asked, no longer looking down on the screen."That's a secret, Ma'am. We can't tell our secret procedures to just anyone," the boy said.Angelica was offended. "Ma'am, you said? You said you're professionals, but why didn't you check my background properly? I'm not married yet. Call me Miss!""That's because you've been involved with many men. You're not a pure girl anymore. You don't deserve to be called Miss. And now that I think about it, I don't think you deserve to be called Mrs. or Ma'am too. They're usually used for adult women who have one husband. You don't have one husband, but many men," River explained."Yes, River is right. They are terms for women with diginty.""Dignity, Summer," River whispered.Summer gasped. "Yes, I mean dignity."Angelica was stunned to hear that. She didn't care about the mistake Summer had just mad

    "We were lucky to survive," Sky recalled, shaking her head vaguely. "If not, I can't imagine what our fate would be like.""Looking back, I think I owe you, Sky. If only you hadn't held my hand, I might not have survived," Louis rubbed his wife's hand.Instead of being touched, Sky sneered. "You were faster than me, Louis. I held your hand so you could pull me. In conclusion, it wasn't me who saved you, but you who saved me."Louis chuckled at the honesty. "Trust me. I couldn't have run that fast if you hadn't held my hand. You gave me strength and motivation, so I could be a hero for you."Sky smiled. Not only because of the sweet kiss she had just received on the back of her hand, but also because Louis was still not tired of praising her."Okay. Let's write that sweet memory here," Sky tapped the book on her lap with a pen. "Apart from that, which other adventure was the most memorable?"Louis pursed his lips. His head tilted up to check his memory. Before he could find an answer,

    Louis nodded without hesitation. "Of course. My heart only wants to accept your presence, while my hands only want to touch your skin. Why choose a woman who isn't even on the list of my choices?"Angelica unconsciously gritted her teeth. She was irritated because Louis rejected her so openly. However, she didn't want to ruin her dignity. She straightened up."If you want to spend time alone together, fine. Maybe we can talk another time."She forced a smile, but Louis ignored her. She had no choice but to go away with an annoyed expression."Has she gone?" Louis whispered while twitching his eyebrows.Sky nodded. "Yes. She left the room while stomping her feet."Louis sighed in relief. He could finally lean back and look in all directions. Sky was tickled by his behavior."What's wrong, Louis? Your neck seems sore. Is it because the temp

    Louis glanced towards the door. Finding Angelica, he whispered to Sky, "It seems like she's seriously targeting me."Sky's face became even more sullen. Her breathing sounded heavy. "You should have rented the lounge for us," she grumbled softly."Should I do that?"Sky blinked. She didn't realize that she had just voiced her annoyance. "Do what?""Rent this lounge for the two of us?"Sky waved her hand. "No. For what? That's excessive. Other passengers also have the right to enjoy the facilities here.""If it can make you comfortable, I don't mind. Besides, I don't think it's excessive," Louis shrugged, as if he had no burden.Not wanting her husband to waste more, Sky quickly grabbed his hand. "It's okay, Louis. She is a nobody. How could I let her rule my heart and mind? She can't ruin our moment.""But you were grumbling. Your heart and mind are clearly disturbed by her presence," Louis added, raising an eyebrow. "You're jealous, right?"Sky let out a laugh. "No, Louis. I can't be

    "Because I'm afraid Summer will see and follow in your footsteps," Louis answered without thinking.Sky gasped. "Are you teasing me again? Are you openly saying that my action in preparing this book was wrong?"Hearing the misunderstanding, Louis' eyes widened. "No, it's not like that. Please don't misunderstand. I don't blame you. Like I said, I'm glad you prepared such a sweet surprise for me. It's just ...."Louis took a deep breath. "I hope Summer will love a brilliant guy who loves her with all his heart and has courage. That way, she won't need to prepare a surprise gift like you. I want her to receive much greater love from the guy she chooses without a long wait. You understand what I mean, right?"Sky was stunned. She thought for a moment. After a blink, she smiled wryly. "You're right. Summer shouldn't follow me. She should avoid misunderstandings and suffering. I hope her love journey goes

    "Did you forget? We're heading to the South Pole. There are no time zones there. Ghosts can show their presence at any time," Draco said, not looking like he was joking at all.Angelica sighed tiredly. "Can you just focus on our mission?""I'm focused.""What's the proof?" Angelica asked in a challenging tone.Draco thought for a moment. "I've made a plan to approach Sky. Tonight, she and I will be in the same bed.""What's your plan?"A lopsided smile appeared on Draco's sly face. "I'll let you know if you're willing to accompany me in bed."Angelica snorted in disgust. "You think my price is that low? My target is Louis Harper. If I can get a big prize, why would I be aiming for crumbs?""You talk as if you're sure to get him," Draco muttered.Angelica didn't like his tone. "You'll regret underestimating me. This charm of mine," she flipped her hair, "no one can resist it."Draco snorted in amusement. "Please don't be too confident. You'll get depressed if your mission fails.""You'
