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

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

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.

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

Howard felt woozy, so he wasn't bothered by who the caller was. He assented, lay on the bed, and rested his eyes.Zayne exited the ward and answered the call. "Hello.""Zayne, I'm at Ripley Residence. The maids are acting outrageously, refusing to let me in. Order them to let me in!"Zayne said, "You offended Tobias the last time. He was the one who gave the order. Plead with him instead!"On the phone, Joey paused. She softened her tone and said, "Zayne, I know what I did wrong. I'm here to apologize to you.

A glint flickered in her eyes and dissipated instantly.It was unfortunate that Joey pulled them apart before Zayne could notice.
