The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 181
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

As Cedric and Mariam spoke, they suddenly felt like someone was hiding in the bushes and instantly became more alert.Mariam's expression turned cold as she inched closer to the source of the sound. Suddenly, they heard the vibrating sound in the bushes.Joey, who was squatting in the corner, covered her mouth. Sweat broke out on her forehead as she panicked, unsure of what to do. All of a sudden, a stray cat jumped onto the grass. It looked at Cedric and Mariam, meowed at them, and ran off."Mom, it's just a cat.""Oh, thank goodness. I thought someone overheard our conversation!" Mariam patted her chest and said, "Let's go, Cedric.""Okay."Their footsteps slowly faded away. Through the gaps, Joey watched as they got into the car, and she let out a massive sigh of relief. She lay on the ground like a deflated balloon.Joey wiped the sweat off her forehead and said, "What does Mariam have against the Ripleys? Why do they need to get their revenge on them? Why didn't I know ab

Tobias was in Faldoria, clueless about what was happening at Ripley Residence. He was even more oblivious about Ripley Group's status. He had been unconscious for two days and had just woken up. Peter's face lit up with joy when he noticed that Tobias was awake. "Tobias, you've finally woken up!"Tobias asked, "Where am I? How long have I been sleeping?" His voice was gruff, and his throat was dry and uncomfortable.Peter said, "You had a fever and have been unconscious for two days. I'll run a full-body examination on you. Your body is adapting extremely poorly to the weather in Faldoria. I'll try my best to help avoid aggravating the condition even more."Tobias' head was throbbing violently. He listened to Peter's explanation and nodded, but his eyes fell on Finn, who was taking a call by the window sill.Finn was on a call with Zayne. As he took the phone call, the expression on his face turned more serious. He instinctively looked at Tobias. Tobias noticed the emotions h

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
The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 497
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
