Axel noticed the caution in her eyes. A grim look flashed through his eyes, but it disappeared quickly and was replaced by a warm smile. "I've come to visit you, Ms. Everhart. Ms. Lewis made soup for you, so I brought it up. I hope you don't mind me coming in?"Lucy did indeed mind it; after all, they would be alone in the room. It would be troublesome if word got out and others gossiped about it.However, Axel had come to visit her. She didn't want to seem unfriendly by being so particular about this.So, she composed herself and said, "Sure. You can sit there."Lucy gestured with her eyes and looked at the stool not far away from the bedside table.Axel's eyes followed the direction of her gaze. The stool was at least seven feet away from the bed. He figured that Lucy was probably worried about others gossiping, so she had asked him to sit further away.A glint of disappointment flickered in his eyes.He said, "I'll help you up and feed you soup, Ms. Everhart. You've hurt yo

Walter? Lucy was shocked and hurriedly said, "Quick, let him in.""Okay, Ms. Everhart."Griselda went out and asked Walter to come up.Axel felt inappropriate for him to stay there. So, he got up and said, "Ms. Everhart, I'll help you lie down properly. If you need anything, ask for me. You don't need to feel bad, okay?Lucy answered lightly, "Okay."Axel helped Lucy lie down and took the tray of food. As he was about to leave, his leg suddenly slipped.The soup on the tray slipped. Some spilled on the floor, while the rest splashed on Lucy's body."Ah!" Lucy instinctively shrieked."Ms. Everhart!" Axel screamed in terror, unsure what to do. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Your clothes are wet."Axel hated how clumsy he had been. His face blushed from embarrassment. Upon seeing the tissue box on the bedside table, he instinctively took some and was about to wipe Lucy's dirty clothes."It's my fault, Ms. Everhart. Let me wipe the stains clean." Axel sincerely apologized.Lucy

Griselda wheeled Lucy's wheelchair as everyone went to the living room. Then, Sienna explained what happened.After hearing her explanation, Lucy lowered her gaze. Her eyes turned grim."Mrs. Ripley, listen to me. Don't get this wrong. Mr. Ripley has never gone behind your back or cheated on you.""But…" Lucy said, "I called him twice, and a woman answered both times. P-Plus, they were speaking to each other suggestively." As the conversation reached this point, Lucy bit her lip, suppressing the pain in her chest."Yes, Lucy heard it herself. How could she be wrong? The incident happened many days ago, and Mr. Ripley still hasn't apologized. Let's not talk about the apology. "Now, he's asking Lucy to travel so far when she's severely injured. Is this how he shows his love for Lucy? This is going to hurt her more!"Sienna became angrier as she spoke. She felt a sharp pain; she had agitated the baby. She covered her stomach, wincing in pain."Sienna!" Lucy anxiously looked at h

By the time Tobias reached Faldoria, it was the next night. He hadn't slept well on the plane, so when he disembarked, he looked tired and had dark circles under his eyes."Mr Ripley." Finn made his way over to Tobias. "I've booked a hotel for you. After you've gotten some rest, we'll talk to Her Majesty."At first, Tobias had wanted to get it over with as soon as he could. However, he hadn't been able to get used to the weather after he had landed in Faldoria. The cold gust of wind made him feel dizzy."Okay." As they talked, they walked over to the luxurious car."How is Her Majesty feeling?""Our team has spoken to her. She's furious and demands we pay for her losses!"When he heard the news, Tobias massaged his throbbing temple."Let's not rest anymore. Let's head to the palace to see her. I'll speak to her about this personally.""But it's so late now! Her Majesty must be resting."Tobias looked at his watch and said, "It's still early. I'll call Queen Anabella. Get the d

Anabella waved her hand and beckoned the masseuse to leave. When the masseuse passed Tobias by, he sneered in disdain.Tobias threw a glare at him. His glare was sharp enough to make someone evaporate into thin air.The masseuse, who'd had an arrogant and disdainful look, was so terrified by Tobias' glare that his feet turned cold. His legs shuddered as he left.After the masseuse left, he grabbed the maid standing by the door and asked, "Who is that man? What did he do to win Queen Anabella's favor?"The maid said, "I heard that he's the richest man in Clusia.""No wonder…"The masseuse was riddled with envy. He peered through the gap between the doors and noticed Tobias standing in Anabella's chambers. A devious look swirled in his eyes."Mr. Ripley, what are you doing there? Come here."Anabella sounded seductive, and her upper body was bare. The semi-transparent veil made the room's atmosphere even more suggestive.Tobias didn't close the door. He stood by the door and sai

Tobias felt unwell in the middle of his first night in Faldoria.Finn stayed with him. When he got up for water, he heard clanging sounds from Tobias' room and was immediately alerted.Finn walked to Tobias' room and knocked on his door. "Are you okay, Mr. Ripley?"There was no response from the room. Finn asked, confused, "Mr. Ripley?"After a few minutes, there was still no response. Finn remembered Lucy mentioning that Tobias found it challenging to adjust to the weather in Faldoria, so he couldn't help but feel worried.Finn anxiously opened the door and saw Tobias on the ground."Mr. Ripley!" Finn shouted in terror. He ran to Tobias' side and realized the latter's forehead was burning. When he touched him, Tobias suddenly coughed violently. Finn knew this was serious."Oh, my god. Why are you burning up so badly?"Finn quickly put Tobias in bed. He called the doctor while he went to the bathroom to get warm water to wipe Tobias down.After half an hour, Tobias' personal d

At Ripley Residence, the Ripleys were distressed because of the latest news. Howard sat on the main seat at the table. His expression was stern and grim as he thought of a solution.Zayne was like an ant in a hot pan, pacing the room back and forth.Annoyed, Howard said, "Can you stop moving? You're making me dizzy! If you pace again, I'll kick you out!""Dad, we're in the middle of this shitstorm. You have to think of something. We can't watch Ripley Group get destroyed. "The secretary told me that companies that used to bust their asses off to partner with us are now running away from us faster than the last one. People really do show their true colors when the shit hits the fan!"Howard disagreed, "Ripley Group has been through worse. Isn't this just about delivering the product after securing the order from the royal family? If we deliver the products, we may not need to compensate for the losses!"Zayne replied, "But the company is already suffering losses! Now, Tobias is u

"Are you okay, Dad?" Zayne went forward to help Howard. Howard's face was pale, and he clutched his chest in discomfort.He waved his hand and said, "Mariam, I never thought you would be one to hit us while we're down!""Dad, you've misunderstood me. I came to you with good intentions. I can't fork out the money for no reason, right?"Cedric disagreed.Howard scoffed. He pointed at the door and shouted coldly, "I have nothing else to say to you. The door is there. Show yourself out!"Mariam snorted and stomped her feet angrily. "Be stubborn all you want, Dad. Even if Ripley Group has all the power in the world, it will never be a match for the royal family of Faldoria. By then, you will lose even your retirement fund. Ripley Group is about to meet its demise!""Get out! Get lost!" Howard bellowed in anger.However, he was so emotional that it triggered a heart attack. He clutched his chest as his body twitched. He muttered, "My medicine…""Dad, wait for me! I'll get your medica
