"Those men just now were sent by my uncles," Liana explained with a trembling voice. It was surprising to see this egotistical woman so scared.Frederick asked, "So, what's the current situation with the Yarboroughs?""My father is cornered by my uncles. Many of the family's elders have switched sides, and he’s in a dangerous position now. That's why they dared to invade my place and even planned to bury me alive. After the heir is out of the picture, they could control the Yarboroughs as they wish."Frederick remained silent.Liana continued while sobbing, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you all this. You have nothing to do with this mess. I'm grateful that you’re here to save me. But now... I fear I'm no longer worthy of you. I’m nothing without my status as the heir to the Yarboroughs."Frederick stepped away, and made a phone call. "It's Frederick. I heard there's some trouble with the Yarboroughs. Can you handle it for me? Yes, right now."Liana was taken aback. "No way!
"You’re asking for it!” Frederick smirked. “Don't blame me for going all out."He then gripped her tightly. "Ahh!" Liana gasped, and bit her lip. Frederick was rough as he fondled through her folds. Yet, Liana became more excited at his aggressiveness. She laughed joyfully. "Come on! Trample all over my pride! Take my body and soul completely!"-An hour later, Frederick left Liana's place feeling satisfied. Liana lay there, panting and drenched in sweat, but utterly content. From this moment on, she considered herself officially Frederick’s woman. She could now boldly proclaim that the Dark Monarch was her man, and that she had been intimate with him.‘Heh. Frederick, I told you, you can't escape me! I’ll make you admit that being with me is far better than with that hag Jennifer!’ Liana thought triumphantly.Outside, Frederick was lost in thought. During their intimate moments, he hadn't forgotten to ask Liana about the tragic incident at the Divine Healer Championsh
Melanie nodded slightly, with a hint of playfulness. "Yes, Master!""How was the investigation?"Back then, to ensure Melanie’s freedom during the investigation of the truth, Frederick had given her the Dark Monarch Token. With that, she could even command a Dark Monarch Massacre to intimidate local bigshots."I spent four months in Aston, the Northern Frontier, other provinces, and the Imperial Capital, secretly investigating this matter.” Melanie turned serious. “It turns out, Cyrus's death was not an accident. The so-called ghost marriage of Selene with a deceased noble from an Imperial Capital family was just a cover!"Frederick was stunned. "You mean there was someone behind this?""Yes!" Melanie nodded.Frederick pondered for a while—it made sense. A bigwig from the Imperial Capital went to such lengths to marry off his deceased son, specifically needing a woman born in a moment filled with dark energy. Selene was one in a million, with a rare Dark Soul. But it was ridicu
"So, what exactly does the court want with Selene?" Frederick asked with a piercing gaze.Melanie replied, "Alchemy."Frederick's expression changed slightly as he narrowed his eyes. "What kind of alchemy?""I'm not entirely sure, but it's undeniable that they intend to use Selene as an important medical ingredient," Melanie explained. "Since Cyrus's death, they haven't given up on targeting Selene. Although they didn't mobilize the Dragon Brigade, they quietly sent people to Mirage City. However, your family has remained low-profile and unnoticed. Plus, since Selene spent most of her time elsewhere, they couldn't find her even after years of searching."Frederick frowned. "But things are different now."With his business gaining some recognition in Centropolis, it was only a matter of time before those people traced Selene. She was in significant danger now.Melanie continued, "Yeah, according to what I've heard, the spies in Mirage City have already started moving to Centropo
Nella sent a cheeky tongue-out emoji. [I genuinely mean it!]Frederick chuckled, and replied, [You being appointed as the manager of the livestreaming department was something I personally pushed for. Don't let me down! Show us some convincing results!][Mr. Lester, I promise I won't let you down!] Nella replied, adding three exclamation marks.Frederick laughed out loud."Fred, what's making you so happy?" Selene teased as she took a peak at Frederick’s phone. "Wow! Are you texting with another woman? I'm telling Jennifer! Let's see how she handles you!""Don't be ridiculous! That's just one of my managers from work," Frederick hurriedly denied it. Jennifer was already furious at him; the last thing he needed was another misunderstanding."Alright, I'm just joking. No need to get so worked up!" Selene grinned mischievously.Frederick pretended to glare at her. "Now you're teasing me, huh?"As the siblings joked around, a group of drunken men staggered into the carriage. Th
One of the men pulled out a wad of cash from his wallet, and waved it in the air while grinning lewdly. "Hey, girl. Why don't you come sit with us for a bit? This money could be yours!"Selene shook her head fearfully."Not satisfied? Here you go!" another man said, pulling out another stack of cash, clearly excited. "Don't worry, we can give you more after you please us!” Selene, a well-behaved girl, had never encountered such an unpleasant situation before. She was so scared that she looked away and remained silent."Hey, don't be such a stuck-up! This kind of money could get us a bunch of women at the bar!" the men grumbled angrily.They quickly turned their attention to Frederick."Hey, is this your girlfriend?""No," Frederick replied coldly, crossing his legs.At his subtle signal, a group of men in black suits, who had been sitting quietly in the carriage, put down their newspapers and phones, ready to intervene. However, the three drunkards didn't notice the change i
"Watch your mouth, bad breath! Apologize to my sister," Frederick said.If Selene hadn't been there, he would have already crushed their heads, killing them.At that moment, the flustered train conductor finally arrived while wiping the sweat on his forehead. "I’m so sorry, Mr. Lester. Our careless staff accidentally let a few drunkards into your carriage. I’ve already fired that staff member!" He quickly apologized. “My entire day is ruined, and you’re making excuses here? Do you think finding a scapegoat will cover up your mistake? I had dinner with your boss yesterday. What do you think he’ll do when he hears about this?" Frederick said coldly.The train conductor immediately pleaded, "Please forgive me, Mr. Lester! It’s my fault for not managing my staff properly!"He knew Frederick could make him lose his job permanently with just a phone call to his boss."The one who’s shaken up is my sister," Frederick said with a dark expression.The train conductor immediately turne
"What?" The three men were flabbergasted. "A strip dance? We… We…""Hmm?" Frederick raised an eyebrow."N-Nothing! We’ll strip right away!" They immediately began removing their clothes.Selene blushed, and quickly covered her eyes. "Ahh! I don’t want to watch!"Frederick couldn't help but laugh. "Weren’t you always claiming to be an adult? And yet, you can’t even watch a man undress? How are you going to find a boyfriend in the future?"Selene pouted. "Then I’ll stay single forever. I’d love to spend my life with you and Jennifer!”"No way!" Frederick chuckled. "Are we supposed to keep you around as the third wheel forever?"And so, they reached their destination while the three men were still performing wildly. Willa, the law enforcement team leader, dressed in her uniform that accentuated her fit and sexy figure, was there with her team to clear the area. They were responsible for ensuring absolute secrecy for Frederick. "You’re right on time, Mr. Lester!" she said with a
