Tobias sneered. "Isn't it too much of a coincidence?"

He was well aware that it couldn't be a mere coincidence.

"Gather everyone. I'd like to have a meeting!"

"Alright, Mr. Ripley," Walter answered. He gathered all the maids in the hall.

They stood in several rows, their numbers so large that it resembled a company staff meeting.

"You've been working at Ripley Residence for a long time. I'm going to ask you a few questions now. If any of you dares to lie…" Tobias paused, his gaze turning cold. "I must remind you, the two beasts in the restricted area haven't had meat for a long time!"

Everyone's breaths hitched, with fear written all over their faces.

Two tigers were kept captive in the Ripley Residence's restricted area. Tobias loathed liars. He wouldn't hesitate to feed anyone to the tigers if someone dared to deceive him.

"Who came to Ripley Residence today?"

One of the maids replied, "Three groups of guests came. Mr. Hobson and Mrs. Hobson came with their third son, M

    What Tobias didn't know was that something huge happened to Lucy today as well.Miles took his team and launched an investigation. He watched the security footage and saw that someone had carried an unconscious Lucy to the hospital. Miles gave a call to Faith. "I found Lucy, Ms. Parker. She's at Silver Oak Hospital.""Okay! I'll go there right now."Miles patted his team members on their shoulders and said, "Good work, guys. I'm going to the hospital now."…At the hospital, Axel took Lucy to the emergency room. He waited for more than an hour before she was rolled out."How is she doing, doctor?""The patient fell from height and has bone fractures on multiple parts of her body. She also suffered a head trauma. She is out of danger now, but we have to keep her for observation."Axel listened to the doctor and let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you, doctor."The doctor asked, "Are you the patient's family? I think she has recently undergone a D&C surgery due to a miscarriage.

    Tobias and Miles were friends. So, naturally, Miles was as angry as Tobias would have been if he had seen such a scene. Miles strode forward and pulled Axel away. He was so rough that Axel fell to the floor.Then, Miles saw that Lucy was crying her heart out, and her arms and feet were covered in casts. She looked downright pitiable.Axel got to his feet and questioned, "Who are you guys? What do you think you're doing?"Before Miles and Faith could respond, Lucy said, "I'm sorry about that, Axel. They're my friends."It was only when Axel heard Lucy that he finally relaxed.When Faith saw the state Lucy was in, she felt heartbroken. "What happened to you, Lucy?"Lucy sniffled and answered, "It's okay, Faith. I survived again."Then, she looked at Miles and said, "I can't get in touch with Tobias, Miles. Can you help me give him a call?""Sure thing." Miles pulled out his phone and dialed Tobias's number, but he couldn't reach him. "Is there still no answer?"Lucy frowned

    Lucy was extremely anxious. She wanted to get up, but she couldn't even move. This was the first time she had felt this frustrated."Don't worry about it, Mrs. Ripley. I know who Ms. Lane is. She used to be the college student that the Ripley family sponsored. She was also…" Walter didn't finish his sentence. He paused a little before continuing, "Ms. Lane might be wicked, but she probably wouldn't dare lay a finger on Mr. Ripley."Moreover, she's one of the Eberhards now. She will be dragging her entire family down with her if she dares to do something to him."Miles chimed in, "He's right. Tobias is a trained fighter. Anna might be reckless, but she wouldn't dare do anything out of line to him."Lucy had an ominous feeling about it. "But…"The sinking feeling in her gut grew more intense. "I can't shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen. "It's because I asked Gale if Anna had sent him to kill me after I was pushed down the cliff. He might not have answered my

    Tobias went to the place where Anna had asked to meet him. It was a luxurious restaurant, and they were sitting in a deluxe private room. The soundproofing there was excellent.Anna smiled sweetly when she saw him. "You're here, Tobe. I ordered you some of your favorite dishes."Tobias looked at the table full of delicious food, but he didn't have any appetite.He sat down and got straight to the point. "I didn't come here to have dinner with you. I'm here to ask you some questions."Anna was twisted and wicked on the inside, but she chuckled dryly."We rarely have dinner together, Tobe. Why are you interrogating me like a criminal? Can't it wait until after the meal?" Anna acted cute and pitiful with him.Then, she took a glass of wine and asked, "Why don't we have some drinks first?"Tobias pushed it away and said coldly, "Would you be in the mood for wine if your family had been the ones in the emergency room?"Anna was stumped. She didn't respond until after a brief moment.

    Tobias felt like he had lost consciousness. However, he could still hear everything the people around him were saying. He wanted to move his body, but he simply couldn't.He felt someone touching him as well as something being placed on his face. It made him feel wildly uncomfortable.He frowned in displeasure. He had clearly passed out, but he was brimming with such unbridled rage and animosity.A man walked over from a dark corner of the lounge.He asked in a puzzled tone, "I didn't mean to overhear your conversation, but I did. This man said you're wicked and put his grandparents in harm's way. "Is this his delusional disorder acting up? Or, are you deceiving me and using me to do something morally questionable, Ms. Anna?"Anna adopted a pitiful expression and said tearfully, "How could you say that about me, Dr. Turner? You know my husband was brainwashed and has delusional disorder."He must've said what he said earlier because the she-devil brainwashed him. After all, we

    Faith comforted her and said, "Don't worry about it, Lucy. Anna might be a wicked, but there's nothing she could do to Tobias. She's no match for him at all!"Lucy responded, "We have to keep our guards up around people. It'll be too late to regret it if something does happen."She was filled with fear and worry.…An hour later, Ian exited the lounge. Anna approached him and asked, "How did it go with my husband, Dr. Turner?"Anna called Tobias her husband as if she were used to doing it all the time. She was so shameless!"Your husband has a stubborn will. A single session won't be able to consolidate his mind. It'll take multiple hypnosis sessions to stabilize him."Anna was conflicted. "How many sessions will it take?""His mind is strong and unbending. It's going to take more than ten sessions to correct his inner thoughts."Ten sessions? She couldn't wait that long!Anna thanked Ian. "Thanks, Dr. Turner. I'll transfer the payment to you, and continue to bring him to you

    "I love you too much, Tobe. I just have to make you mine. That's why I drugged you. I didn't do anything wrong. I just wanted to have you for myself…"Anna saw that Tobias had woken up. She pretended to be vulnerable and cried immediately."You shouldn't have let that homewrecker seduce you. You didn't even look at me properly all this while. I wouldn't have done something like this if you were a little nicer to me.""Silence!" Tobias got up and put his clothes on swiftly. He looked at her coldly. "You set me up. Are you still trying to make up an excuse for it?" He scoffed and said harshly, "From here on out, you're going to know what it feels like to live in hell."Then, he turned and left. This time, Anna didn't give chase to him. After all, she had achieved what she had set out to do.Meanwhile, Miles said in a shocked tone, "What on earth happened, Tobe? Did I just hear her saying she drugged you?"Tobias nodded. "I didn't think she'd be this bold."Miles responded embarr

    Lucy was bored from lying in bed the whole time. Every inch of her body ached. Faith saw that Lucy was in pain and suggested, "How about I help you to the wheelchair and take you out for a stroll?"Lucy nodded. "Alright. Thank you, Faith.""There's no need to thank me. We're besties. It's only right that I look after you. You don't exactly have the best of luck, either. "You just had a miscarriage and didn't even have the time to recover from it before you suffered bone fractures on all of your limbs. "You're beautiful and tough, but life hasn't been easy on you. Also, Anna is no match for you at all. You should've taught her a lesson!"Lucy sighed and asked, "Am I supposed to back every one of my love rivals into a corner? Besides, Tobias doesn't like her. So, why should I waste my effort on her? "I can't be bothered with her if she doesn't hurt the people around me.""I guess you're right."Faith helped her down the bed and onto the wheelchair. "I'll give you a massage."

    Lucy heard what Tobias said and didn't dare to look at him. She lowered her gaze, allowing tufts of hair in front of her forehead to conceal her emotions. "Why would I feel jealous? I don't love you."Tobias heard the last part of her sentence and felt as if countless insects were gnawing on his heart, making him feel itchy and painful. Both of them fell quiet, and things were a little awkward between them."The doctor's here, Prince Toddy.""Let him in."The doctor entered the bedroom and brought with him medical equipment of his own. He did a series of checkups on Lucy and said, "It's the same diagnosis as before, Prince Toddy. Her internal organs remain untouched, but she was wounded severely on the outside. "We need to apply a specialized ointment on her skin. Otherwise, she will have scars."Tobias said, "What are you waiting for, then? Get us the specialized ointment.""I've given you all of them, Prince Toddy. Use it wisely for now. The only person who possessed these sp

    It seemed like Tobias was afraid that Lucy might reject him again. He added, "You haven't gone home for an entire night, Greta. Sully and Eli are extremely worried about you. I didn't want to alarm them, so I lied and said you're staying in the castle as a guest."If you insist on going back and letting them see you in this state, the twins would be worried and scared. Wouldn't you say?"Solomon and Elio were Lucy's weak spots. Initially, she was determined to leave. However, she hesitated when she heard what he said. Lucy lowered her head and looked at herself. Her limbs were injured, and her fingers were slightly bent. She was trembling ceaselessly as well. It looked as if her joints were distorted, giving off the impression that she was a disabled person. On top of that, Lucy's skin was cracked open from all the lashes. She looked absolutely terrifying. If she showed up in front of Solomon and Elio, looking like this, she would definitely traumatize them. With that said, Luc

    Staying in the castle for the long term? Elio, who was a curious and mischievous kid, thought about the lavishing and magnificent castle, and his eyes sparkled. He responded to Tobias without any hesitation, "I do!"Meanwhile, Solomon wasn't interested in the castle that much. He wanted to spend some time with Tobias. On the other hand, he wouldn't be able to see Noah anymore if he went to the castle. So, he stuttered and said, "I don't."Elio looked at Solomon in confusion. The latter seemed to see through the former's bewilderment, and he asked, "Do you honestly think we can do whatever we want in the castle, just like the way we lived at the farm? "Moreover, we won't be able to see Noah anymore once we move there."Noah might've been a stepfather, but he took a huge place in the twins' hearts. Tobias was disappointed when he heard what Solomon said. "Do you two care about Noah very much?"Solomon responded, "Of course!" He considered his stepfather to be a good father. Tobia

    Tobias used the military authority to his advantage and swiftly subdued Killian and all the leaders of his faction. All of them were incarcerated by the royal guards, and the signals were jammed. Not even God himself could help Killian and his ilk now. All they could do was sit on their thumbs in their respective homes. Moreover, Tobias revoked Killian's dukedom and stripped the latter of his military authority over Killian's negligence in Marie's education. After all, she drugged a prince. Now, Killian was nothing but a loser.Killian flew into a rage. "Damn it. King Samson had to show me some respect, but Toddy just disrespected me. How dare he lock me up at my home and make me a laughingstock in front of the entire world?""Marie has been imprisoned in the dungeon for a long time now, Kilian. What if she can't take it?""I'll never let her die!" Killian bellowed. "Did they think I command only the factions in the castle? They have grossly underestimated me."Killian couldn't

    Tobias accompanied Lucy and looked after her carefully. News of Marie's arrest quickly made its way to Samson. Once he knew what happened, he was enraged at her actions. Before he had time to comfort Tobias, Marie's father, Killian Lemoine, rushed into the castle in a fit of rage. "King Samson. Prince Toddy actually ordered his men to arrest Marie for the sake of a civilian. Do you have no respect for me as a duke?" Killian ordered angrily, "Release Marie at once. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it."Samson slammed the table. "Are you trying to launch a mutiny, Killian?"Killian responded, "All I want is for my daughter to be safe and sound. If someone so much as touches her hair, I won't mind going up against the throne to the bitter end!""Why, you!" Samson was agitated. "You are feeling heartbroken for what happened to your daughter, but Lucy was also her parent's sweetheart. Why haven't you thought about how poorly you've educated Marie while she did those heinous acts?""I

    Lucy cried out, "Get away from me!"The royal guards acted like starving wolves. They pounced at Lucy and tore her clothes to pieces, making her look even more miserable. At the critical moment, a figure flashed past them. A thudding sound could be heard as one of the royal guards was sent flying into the air. Every time Tobias swung his fist, he sent another royal guard flying. He bellowed coldly, "How dare you lay your grubby paws on what belongs to me? Death has come for all of you!""Prince Toddy." The royal guards immediately felt that something was wrong and fell to their knees, their faces drained of color. "Take all of them away!"Lucy was downright miserable. There were filthy liquids and blood all over her body. On top of that, her hands and feet were covered in bloodied welts. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was pale. It felt as if she was one touch away from passing away.Tobias' heart seemingly stopped beating. He was so heartbroken that the veins on his fo

    Someone stole Duchess Lemoine's necklace.Tobias felt that this was something fishy, but he couldn't be bothered by it now. His head throbbed as he thought about how he had forced himself on Lucy. He said, "Dante, do you think Greta will hate me?"Dante stuttered, "Ms. Everhart was f-furious when she left and asked you n-not to look for her. Otherwise…"He stopped himself from finishing his sentence.Tobias asked, "Otherwise?"Trembling, Dante said, "Otherwise, s-she would beat you up each time she saw you."Tobias massaged his throbbing temple. "Prepare all the shoes, clothes, and accessories any woman would like. They need to be the best in the world. I'll apologize to her when dawn breaks.""Okay."Tobias stood by the bedside, heavy-hearted.Outside the window, the guards were scouring high and low. When Tobias saw what was happening, his eyes twitched for some unknown reason, as if he had an ominous feeling that something terrible had happened.After finishing breakfast a

    At 3:00 am, Lucy felt like her bones were about to shatter.That damned man! How long had he been starving himself? He had come onto her seven times, devouring her completely.Tobias was sound asleep. Lucy lost herself for a second as she stared at his handsome face. At that moment, her heart beat wildly. When she regained her senses, she was so furious that she cursed him out internally.She wanted to help out of kindness but ended up giving herself to him. Lucy didn't want anything to do with him anymore and only wanted to remember this as an unfortunate event.Lucy got up, but her legs were so weak that she collapsed on the floor with a thump. She was even more furious.She turned to look at Tobias, who was fast asleep. She conveniently took her clothes from the bed and left while supporting herself on the wall.The corridor was still empty, but Lucy noticed the guards surrounding the entrance when she arrived on the first floor. Dante was also there. He was dozing off from wa

    "Hmm… L-let go."Lucy tried to resist, but Tobias' kiss was like an ever-burning flame. She felt uncontrollably weak in her knees. It was hard for her to breathe, as if her mind was foggy from the lack of oxygen. She even kissed him back fiercely.Her kiss, in return, was like a fuse being lit, igniting the burning passion in Tobias. He aggressively ripped open her clothes, but the intricate design of her gown made it difficult to tear off. Lucy regained her senses and forcefully pushed him away.Tobias was caught off guard. With a loud knock, he collapsed on the floor. He moaned in pain as the back of his head hit the floor hard.His face flushed with an unnatural shade of red. He curled his body up in agony, and his voice sounded gruff. He had the last ounce of rationality in him. "Help me…"Lucy was blushing as well. In shock, she exclaimed, "What's the matter with you?"She walked closer to him and realized something was wrong with Tobias, assuming he had eaten something upse
