Noticing the gazes of many people, Alice couldn’t help but pat Louis on the shoulder.

She began to regret it—this was not the right place to kiss. Louis obediently let her go.

Wrapping an arm around Alice’s waist, he turned to the mayor and said, “Goodbye, Mayor. This party was truly wonderful! As you said, Alice and I have an amazing relationship!”

The mayor quickly put on a smile and bid Louis farewell.

Alice whispered, “You’re being way too dramatic, Louis.”

Louis chuckled. “Right now, I just want to show the whole world that you’re mine!” After a brief pause, he suddenly whined, “Come home with me, will you?”

Faced with Louis’s expectant gaze, Alice didn’t hesitate to shake her head. She knew all too well what would happen if she went home with him—one look at his rather not calm lower half was proof enough.

Even though they had been intimate countless times, tonight, Alice didn’t want to indulge him. “Some other time.”

Louis immediately said, “Then at least let me take you home?”

    Hearing Louis’s invitation, Alice was slightly taken aback. However, she smiled, nodded, and said, “Alright.” Although she never felt that Mrs. Adonis deserved to be called Louis’s mother, if Louis still addressed her as such and even wanted to introduce Alice to her again, she wouldn’t refuse. Louis gently kissed Alice’s hair and softly said, “I love you so much, Alice.” “This isn’t even a big deal, Louis,” Alice replied quietly. “You’re always like this.” Louis chuckled happily. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow.” With that, Louis left. Lately, his work has been quite busy. He said it was all to prepare a surprise for Alice. Alice had asked him what the surprise was, but it seemed Louis had no intention of revealing it until the right moment. The following day, Louis arrived at the Campbell residence. Lately, their dates had either been at Mys University’s gate or near the Ado Corporation, so it had been long since he had come here. He wondered if Mr. and Mrs. Campbell had re

    Alice frowned at Mrs. Adonis’s words and said coldly, “You’re the only crazy one here—that’s why you’re in this place. And you chose the wrong person. Louis didn’t. I will never betray him like your unfaithful husband betrayed you. Do you really think your words could affect me? How pitifully naive.”Mrs. Adonis was so enraged by Alice’s words that she suddenly lunged at her.But at that moment, Louis stepped out from behind Alice, and as a result, Mrs. Adonis’s slap landed on his face instead.Alice frowned at the sight and said icily, “How dare you let her hit you?”Louis trembled slightly at Alice’s cold tone and replied softly, “I couldn’t dodge in time. Besides, I couldn’t let you take the hit.”Seeing their affectionate display only made Mrs. Adonis even more furious. She struggled wildly as if she wanted to kill Louis right then and there.But this time, Louis didn’t give her the chance to hurt him. He grabbed her flailing hands and said coldly, “Don’t make me call the staff, M

    "...Clinging to something that doesn’t exist will only bring you pain," Alice said softly.Louis couldn't help but look at her, his voice low. "You... won’t ever turn your back on me, will you? A man with no family..."Alice chuckled. "You can be so ruthless, yet sometimes, you’re strangely foolish, Louis. No one would abandon you for that. From today onward, I will be your family."Louis’ eyes seemed to glisten. He gazed at Alice, his voice filled with gratitude. "Thank you so much, Alice." As he spoke, he pulled her into an embrace, the emotions in his eyes threatening to spill over, drowning Alice in their depth.Alice laughed, wrapping her arms around him in return, gently running her fingers through his slightly coarse hair. "I already told you, no one will ever hurt you again. Your mother chose the wrong person, but you didn’t."Louis agreed. "That’s right. Having you is the greatest fortune of my life."The next day, Louis received news that Madame Adonis had died—a painless de

    Alice observed her parents' expressions and knew that today would not be easy for Louis. However, she had no intention of letting him face everything alone. Looking at her parents, she spoke softly, “Actually, I was the one who invited Louis.”The moment Alice finished speaking, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell looked at her in confusion, as if they couldn’t understand why she had suddenly invited Louis over. Hadn’t she said she didn’t want to have anything to do with him?Under their doubtful gazes, Alice couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. She lowered her head slightly, but before she could say anything, Mrs. Campbell’s stern voice rang out: “Are you moved by him? Have you fallen for Louis?”Ron, standing to the side, sucked in a breath. As expected of their mother—always able to strike with pinpoint accuracy!Alice lowered her head slightly and replied in a soft voice, “I’ve accepted my own feelings. Mom, Dad, I truly have feelings for Louis… Maybe I love him. Actually, he—”Before s

    At this point, both Alice and Ron couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. Judging by Ron’s expression, Alice didn’t think he was the one who told their parents about this. And it made sense—given their parents’ power, finding out something like this was ridiculously easy.Louis was also shocked, but he quickly recovered. Without hesitation, he suddenly dropped to his knees before Mr. and Mrs. Campbell.Even they were a little surprised by this. However, unlike Alice, they weren’t easily moved. Their faces remained cold as they stared at Louis, waiting for what he had to say.Louis immediately expressed his remorse. “It was truly my fault for failing to recognize my true love. If I had, I could have had Alice back then. We could have been happy, but I ruined everything. I’ve apologized to Alice countless times, and she has forgiven me, but I know that what I did during our year of marriage isn’t something that can be so easily forgiven.” As he spoke, he glanced at Alice before looki

    Until Louis and Mr. Campbell left, Ron and Alice remained seated.Ron looked at Alice, as if he was waiting to see her expression.But Alice only lowered her gaze, making it hard to read anything from her face.Ron spoke softly, "You receive so much love, Alice. Everyone loves you."Alice suddenly laughed upon hearing this. "There’s no such thing as a perfect person. There will always be someone who dislikes you for some reason or no reason at all. How can you be so sure that everyone loves you?"Ron shrugged. "Well, we can just pretend the people who hate us don’t exist."Alice smiled and stood up. "Let’s go home.""You seem to be in a good mood," Ron commented.Alice nodded. "Yes, at least Louis' love makes me happy." She then squinted at Ron, her words dripping with implication. "You wouldn’t understand this happiness, big brother."Ron immediately jumped up. "You really don’t know how to love your brother! What’s so great about love?!"That’s right—Ron would never understand, beca

    Alice hesitated as she looked at Vein’s invitation. She wanted to call the police, but she feared that Cliff wasn’t actually with Vein as he claimed. If it was a trap, she couldn’t recklessly push Cliff into danger.After hesitating for a long time, she decided to call Louis for advice, but he didn’t pick up. The silence from Louis only made her more anxious. With no other choice, she left a message:"I’m going to meet Vein. He revealed a clue about Cliff. If anything seems off, find me at the café he sent the address for."After sending the message, Alice quickly headed to the location Vein had shared. If Cliff was really on the run from the police, she needed to find him before things got even more complicated.The café where Vein had arranged the meeting was in the city center, a rather quiet place.Alice stepped inside, scanning the warmly lit room, illuminated by soft golden lights. Near the window, Vein was already seated, his face lighting up with excitement when he saw her. He

    Louis had just returned from the company, his entire body drained after a long day of work. Lately, the workload had been overwhelming, with endless meetings leaving him no time to rest. However, what frustrated him more than exhaustion was the fact that his phone had gone missing. He couldn’t recall whether he had dropped it somewhere or if someone had stolen it, but the moment he realized it was gone, an unsettling irritation spread through him.Without his phone, he felt disconnected from the world—especially now, when he had so many things to handle.As soon as he stepped into the house, the butler approached him, holding a brand-new phone."Young master, your phone. I’ve prepared the exact same model as before."Louis took it and nodded in acknowledgment. He quickly powered it on and logged into his personal account. But within seconds, his expression darkened. His brows furrowed as he saw Alice’s latest message:"Louis, I’m going to meet Vein. He said he has information about Cli

    Louis immediately became panicked, quickly getting out of bed. His whole body swayed, and his legs were so weak that he nearly fell. He had to hold onto the edge of the bed, his breath rapid, his heart pounding, still recovering from the long faint. Fortunately, his body was strong and recovered quickly, though he still felt a bit dizzy, and his vision was blurry.Not having time to worry about himself, he urgently asked, "How is Alice?"July suddenly fell silent, not saying anything. Her abrupt stop made Louis suspicious. He looked at her with a questioning gaze, his heart racing with a bad feeling.July's eyes flickered slightly, hesitation passing in a moment, but she couldn't hide the deep sorrow within. She looked at Louis as though considering whether or not to tell the truth, her lips pressed together, hesitant and speechless.Louis felt his palms go cold. July's silence was like an invisible hand tightening around his chest. A sense of unease spread through his body, every cel

    Hearing that name, Louis’s body trembled slightly. He looked up, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep, filled with extreme exhaustion but also carrying an unspoken pain. His voice came out hoarse:"I can’t leave… I have to stay here, wait for her to wake up…"Ron clenched his fists, turning his face away to hide his emotions. In the stark white hospital room, worry and despair intertwined, enveloping everything.Louis slowly stood up, his eyes fixed on Alice lying in the hospital bed. She was still motionless, her weak breath completely dependent on the oxygen machine beside her. Alice’s body had noticeably weakened, her pale skin lifeless, making her seem as fragile as a delicate princess lost in a long, deep sleep. The painful tightness in Louis’s chest made him clench his hands to keep from letting out a sigh.He closed his eyes, as if trying to calm himself, but Alice’s image remained firmly etched in his mind. He couldn’t forget what Mrs. Campbell had just said. "If you collapse

    Her face was covered in dirt, with small wounds bleeding on her forehead and cheek, but in this moment, Alice was still strangely beautiful. A satisfied smile appeared on her lips, even as tears involuntarily spilled, mixing with sweat and dust. Her eyes sparkled in the fiery red glow of the sunset, gentle yet full of sorrow. She loved Louis, and that had never changed.She spread her arms wide, waiting for the deadly embrace from Cliff.Louis and the others watched in despair as the scene unfolded before them. Louis rushed forward, wanting to pull Alice out of danger, but a figure moved faster than him—Vein.It turned out, he hadn’t died.The memory from the laboratory flashed back: Cliff’s final bullet had grazed Vein’s forehead, leaving a deep but non-fatal wound. When Cliff had left, he had sneered one last time, saying, "Get lost!" He thought Vein was no longer of any use, not worth finishing off. But now, Vein appeared, like a demon from hell, to stop everything.His messy hair

    Cliff smirked, his eyes gleaming with challenge."So this is how you want to talk like a man? If that's the case, then let Alice go." Louis' voice was low, but the danger in every word was evident.Cliff burst out laughing, the gun in his hand still pressed against Alice's temple. "You think I'm stupid, Louis? I'm not crazy enough to let her go so easily." He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with madness. "If you want to save her, then come over here."Just as Louis was about to take a step forward, Alice suddenly screamed, her voice hoarse with pain and fear. "Don’t! Louis, don’t move!" She struggled, but her strength had drained, her legs too weak to stand. Still, her eyes remained resolute.Louis froze, his gaze meeting Alice's with profound sorrow. She was protecting him, even though she was in the most perilous situation. The anger inside him burned fiercer than ever, but he remained patient, knowing that one wrong move could make Cliff act instantly.Cliff narrowed his eyes

    Alice froze, her breath quick and shallow, feeling the suffocating grip of his embrace. Cliff’s face was close to her ear, a twisted smile still lingering on his lips."Alice, are you scared?" His voice whispered, laced with fake tenderness. "It’s just a joke, my love... I’m only trying to scare you."But immediately, his expression shifted. His eyes gleamed with madness, his muscles tensing, and his low voice suddenly turned fierce, like a thunderclap."But even if I destroy you… I’ll do it right in front of Louis!" He hissed each word, his eyes burning with a hatred so intense that it seemed to bring him a twisted pleasure.With that, Cliff bent down, gripping Alice’s arm tightly and roughly yanking her up from the ground. No gentleness, no pity—he dragged her as though she were nothing more than a discarded object. Alice staggered, her legs aching as if thousands of needles were piercing her skin, but she gritted her teeth, forcing herself to keep up with Cliff’s swift pace to avoi

    But just then, her foot got caught on a large vine hidden among the rotting leaves. She didn't have time to react, her entire body was yanked downward, losing its balance. A wave of panic swept over her, and in the next moment, she rolled down a rocky slope.Alice screamed in pain as sharp stones and dry branches hit her body. Each impact was a sharp, piercing pain that seemed to cut through her flesh, and she even heard a dry "crack"—perhaps a few bones had broken. When her body finally stopped at the foot of the slope, the pain was almost unbearable, leaving her gasping for breath. Her body trembled, and her vision blurred from tears that welled up from the excruciating agony. Alice sobbed, her breaths caught in her throat. She wanted to scream, to cry out loud, but she couldn't. There was no time to be weak.Biting her lip until it bled, Alice shakily pushed her hands into the ground, trying to lift her battered body. But the pain from her ribs nearly made her collapse again. Don’t

    The sound of the helicopter echoed in the sky, making her heart race. A spark of hope flickered in her mind, and she almost wanted to laugh despite being in a life-or-death situation. She whispered, as if to reassure herself: "They're coming... they're really coming..."But if she didn’t manage to escape, if she was caught again... Alice didn’t dare to imagine what would happen. What would Cliff do to her? His cold face, eyes full of absolute control, appeared in her mind, making her shiver. She didn’t want to be locked up in that dark room again, trapped like a bird in a cage, losing both her freedom and hope. No! She had to run! She had to escape from here at any cost!Alice had nearly given up everything to get this far. Over the past few days, she had starved herself to create a pitiful appearance, tricking Cliff into lowering his guard. But that had also made her much weaker. Her legs felt heavy, each step felt like walking on sharp blades. Her empty stomach clenched painfully, h

    Cliff didn’t answer, only lunged again. In his eyes, there was only betrayal and fury, as if all the years they had fought side by side meant nothing anymore. But deep in his heart, a fear gnawed at him—the fear of failure. Could it be that he was going to lose again? Was everything he had worked for, everything he had done, going to be taken from him once more? No… he couldn’t let that happen.Vein quickly sidestepped, delivering a kick aimed at Cliff’s ribs. But Cliff was too enraged to feel the pain. He grabbed Vein by the collar and punched him squarely in the face again.The two of them struggled, crashing into the lab table, causing everything to shatter in chaos. Sharp shards of glass cut into their skin, blood dripping in droplets. Their eyes met for a brief moment—Cliff’s eyes were ablaze with fury, ready to burn everything down, while Vein’s eyes were cold, distant, yet tinged with something resembling... pity. No matter how intelligent Vein was, he could not overcome the in

    Louis sat in the command seat, his eyes fixed intently on the island gradually coming into view. His heart pounded in his chest, each passing second cutting into his patience like a sharpened blade. Alice… She was there, imprisoned, suffering—how? The thought sent a surge of fury through him, but he had to stay calm. This wasn’t just a mission—this was redemption. He wouldn’t lose her again.His hand tightened around the seatbelt, his knuckles turning white. He closed his eyes for a brief moment, and Alice’s smiling face appeared in his mind. Her voice, her bright gaze—everything about her urged him to move faster, to be stronger. When he opened his eyes again, only cold determination remained.The radio crackled in his earpiece. "Target in sight. The island is ahead—signs of guards present." A voice came through from the reconnaissance team.Louis nodded, his gaze resolute. "Everyone, get ready. We don’t get a second chance."The helicopter circled, drawing closer to the island shrou
