The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 195
What Tobias thought by day became a dream by night. He had been unconscious for two days and had many terrible nightmares.He dreamed that Ripley Group was forced to shut down. The employees who had worked for Ripley Group for many years were devastated and blamed him for their downfall. It was torturous; he was filled with remorse. He was devastated that his family suffered, too.In his dream, he locked himself in a small and dark house, leaving himself to his own demise. While he was in a trance, he heard a familiar voice."Don't worry, Tobias. I'll be with you as we ride through this storm with Ripley Group.""Lucy…" Tobias muttered as he attempted to barge out of the dark house to look for Lucy.However, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't escape!Tobias had his eyes closed. He shouted, "Lucy!"He waved his hand around and grabbed Lucy's. Then, like a drowning man who had caught a lifebuoy in the water, he found the hope to continue to live.Lucy was beside him,

Lucy and the rest arrived at the palace gates. Coincidentally, the delivery person arrived at the same time, too.Both parties exchanged words shortly and were about to examine the product.Initially, the delivery person was skeptical of Lucy's identity, but he recognized Finn, who explained the situation. Then, he agreed to let them examine the product.They opened the extravagant-looking gift box, and a beautiful pair of high heels was displayed before everyone's eyes. The group couldn't help but gasp in awe when they saw them.Everyone shouted, "This pair of heels is gorgeous!"Lucy felt content as she admired her design come to life. "Finn, please tell him to bring the heels to me so I can examine them.""Okay."Finn communicated with the delivery person in Faldorian. The man removed the high heels from the box and passed them to Lucy. However, as he retrieved them from the box, the heel of the pair of high heels fell off!"Oh my god, what happened to the heel?""Shit, we'

Lucy's decision had left everyone in shock. She broke both of the heels of the pair of high heels. After breaking them, the bottom of the shoes was uneven, so Lucy used her tools and materials to even out the area.After a whirlwind of effort, a lavish and elegant-looking pair of shoes that could make everyone's jaws drop had become an even more gorgeous pair of shoes with an enchanting finishing touch.Lucy personally remodeled the shoes. Although her hand wasn't completely mobile, she thought about Ripley Group's future, resisted the pain in her body, and remodeled the shoes in the nick of time."Your Majesty."Anabella coldly witnessed everything in a luxurious car parked at a distance. Her eyes glistened with awe as she admired Lucy remodeling the shoes with a cast on both arms."I can't believe that woman could stay as steady as a rock and remodel the shoes on the spot. It looks like our plans have changed!"Anabella chuckled and said, "This was beyond my expectations. I t

Mrs. Ripley, you have saved Ripley Group's future. Even if I must hike the highest of mountains or swim the deepest of seas, I will do it at your command!" Finn said virtuously.He wasn't exaggerating. Finn may be Tobias' assistant, but he was able to enjoy the life he had all thanks to the Ripley family's support.So, Tobias was more than a boss to Finn; he was indebted to Tobias!He panicked to see his debtor in trouble and hated himself for being so helpless. However, he couldn't be more exhilarated now that Ripley Group was out of the woods."Don't get too excited. It's really not a big deal."Lucy paused and sighed. "I beg you. Please don't tell Tobias what happened today. Just tell him that the factory successfully produced the shoes, and Queen Anabella decided to withdraw the lawsuit against Ripley Group."Everyone was stunned by her request.Sasha said in shock, "Why, Lucy? You've helped the Ripleys tremendously. Why are you keeping such a low profile about it? Tobias mi

At Eberhard Residence, Brett glanced at the woman covered in wounds. A look of pity lingered in his eyes. However, Maya mistook his expression and thought he fancied her. She immediately blushed."Brett, thank you for taking me in. I wouldn't have known what to do if it hadn't been for your care."Ripley Group was in hot water, so Quinton had thought that she was of no use. He had beaten her up and thrown her out of Hudson Manor.She had endured it and dragged her injured body to Eberhard Residence, hoping Brett would take her in out of kindness.Little did she expect Brett to take extra care of her the past few days. She started overthinking and wondered if he liked her.Brett sighed and said, "You don't need to thank me. I just offered help where I could. However, you have been nursing at my home for about a week. I can tell your wounds are recovering pretty well. When do you plan to head back to Ripley Residence?"Maya said pitifully, "Brett, are you hastily trying to kick me

When Maya heard that, her eyes flickered as she said, "Joey, it's barely been a month. Let's go for a checkup at a later date, okay?"A glint of disdain flashed in Joey's eyes. Then, she chuckled dryly and said, "Okay, Brett had told me everything. You shouldn't stay with a man on your own. I've prepared the car for you. Follow me home to recuperate. I heard Tobias is coming back soon."Joey lied about Tobias coming back soon, but she didn't want the pawn she had selected to have any relations with another man.Maya noticed her domineering attitude and wanted to retaliate. Still, she appeared compliant and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Joey."Joey pleasingly nodded and said, "You're so compliant, unlike Lucy." She snorted disdainfully when she mentioned Lucy.Joey asked someone to bring Maya away. On her way out, Maya's eyes searched for any sign of Brett. Brett was playing with Lightning in his courtyard. He was tall and handsome. Under the rays of sunlight, he appeared like e

Peter ran a complete body examination on Tobias. While waiting for the results, Tobias asked, "Lucy, since you're here in Faldoria, the medical technology here is more advanced than in our country. Why don't you have your rehabilitation physiotherapy here?"Lucy considered it. "Can we get a doctor?"Tobias chuckled and said, "You can leave it to Peter. Peter, please arrange for her to remove her cast and start her rehabilitation physiotherapy.""Okay," Peter said as he looked at the results. He explained, "Tobias, the inflammation in your body has subsided. You may develop rashes and experience adverse reactions in the next few days but don't worry. I'll prescribe you medication. You'll be better in no time."Tobias nodded in assent.Peter went to prepare the prescription, leaving Tobias and Lucy in the ward.Tobias looked at Lucy deeply. He wanted to say something but stopped himself.Lucy noticed it and said in confusion, "What's the matter, Tobias? You look like you have

When Finn entered the ward, Tobias and Lucy smiled happily as they cuddled each other. The orange light illuminated them, forming a golden glow around them. They looked like a gorgeous oil painting.Finn seemed to be panicking. When he saw the situation, he instantly felt out of place.As expected, Tobias glared at him coldly. Lucy blushed and turned away.Tobias asked coldly, "What happened? Did the queen take back her word?""No!"Finn said, "The queen's lawsuit against us has soiled our reputation. The queen expressed her sincerity by giving us several projects worth tens of billions of dollars."Everyone at Ripley Group was ecstatic about it. They might get too excited if you don't control the situation!"When they heard this, Tobias and Lucy looked at each other. They didn't share Finn's joy; instead, they fell into deep thought.Tobias said, "Did you say she gave us several billion-dollar projects?""Three!"Tobias sneered. "That's generous of her!""Tobias, gifts blin

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
