Chloe's eyes widened in disbelief. The old man in front of her was in his 60s. He was a widely respected figure in the design industry. It wouldn't have been an exaggeration to say that he was a pioneer.He was none other than the legendary Theodore Rowland.Theodore was a Clusian, but his designs had created waves across the world. Every single design he made was nothing short of masterful. No one had been able to surpass him to this day.They could choose not to trust what Lucy said, but no one could question Theodore's credibility. Moreover, someone as highly esteemed as him was shaking hands and hugging Lucy the way an old friend would."Mr. Rowland! Um…" Chloe asked in a surprised tone, "Do you guys know each other?""More than that." Theodore patted Lucy on the shoulder and said, "Alicia also goes to the Amethyst Design Academy. I'm her senior.""What's the deal with Amethyst Design Academy?""You don't know? There's a mysterious academy in the design industry that goes

Nightfall Academy was a world-renowned design academy. Every year, the students paid a whopping 500 thousand dollars. However, that didn't stop it from having at least over 1,000 students. That wasn't just it. Alicia raked in at least 100 million dollars every year. Top that off with the income she got from Nightfall Academy, Lucy was more than a wealthy lady. She was downright a multimillionaire.Tobias was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions in a matter of a second. In the past, he'd thought of himself as the domineering CEO. It was his duty to dote on his wife. Little did he know that Lucy was such a big shot. An urge to impress her sparked within him."What do you mean you married up, darling? Didn't we get married because we love each other?" Lucy giggled. It was a sly grin. She asked, "Did you use to think that you settled because I'm not as wealthy as you were? If that's the case, perhaps I should have—"Before Lucy finished her sentence, Tobias covered her lips and scolde

The next day, Tobias looked at the woman sleeping soundly next to him. He planted a kiss on her forehead. His voice was deep and hoarse when he spoke. "I'm off to work, babe."Lucy responded with a hum. She rolled over to the side and slipped under the blanket to continue sleeping. Tobias saw it and smiled lovingly. Lucy was the one who'd aroused him last night. In the end, however, she'd cried and asked him to stop. They'd gone at it the whole night. She must've been so tired that she didn't want to wake up.So, Tobias tiptoed out of the room. He relayed an order to the maid before he left. "If Lucy doesn't wake up in the morning, prepare some breakfast and take it to her. Then, stay there until she eats it.""Understood, Mr. Ripley."Then, Tobias went to his office for work. He started a video conference. "We have secured sufficient funding for the land development downtown, Mr. Ripley. The construction has commenced as well. We are moving onto the next round of funding.""

It was 4:00 pm when Tobias and Lucy packed up their stuff and went to the airport. They were waiting for the plane in the VIP area when she said, "I saw the official announcement from Ripley Group today, darling. Are you guys looking for someone to be the medical evaluator for your medical conference this year?"Tobias checked their surroundings and whispered to her once he was sure no one was around. "I was going to contact the miracle doctor, Nightshadow. However, my men contacted him and offered him a handsome reward, only for him to reject us."Tobias couldn't help but sigh when he spoke. Lucy raised her eyebrow while he asked her, "Why did you asl? Anyway, Finn told me that you registered for the medical conference. Have you dabbled in the medical industry?"Tobias stared at Lucy profoundly and asked, "Are you hiding more secrets from me?"Lucy responded, "I used to learn some traditional medicine knowledge from an experienced doctor. It's nothing worth noting, though. Faith

Tobias had just gotten out of the luxurious car when he saw a familiar person not far from where he was standing. Was that Chad?Tobias' eyes were laced with coldness. There was a storm brewing in them. "How dare you show yourself in front of me, Chad?"Chad had hurt Lucy deeply. On top of that, he was the reason that they lost their twins. These thoughts filled Tobias with such intense hatred that he had a strong urge to kill Chad. "I'm going to end you!"Tobias took a step forward, about to strangle Chad, but Finn pulled him back and said, "There are a lot of people here, Mr. Ripley. Don't act rashly.""What are you doing here?"Chad was enveloped by a cold, grim air as he stood frozen to the spot. He looked like a gloomy spirit.He chuckled coldly and said, "I'm here for you, Mr. Ripley. Let's have a chat at the coffee shop over there.""Be careful, Mr. Ripley. He might be up to no good."Tobias scoffed. "Let's see what's up your sleeve. Wait for me out here, Finn."He

It just so happened that the female concierge was browsing her phone at the hotel front counter. She was reading the news about Tobias and Lucy, too. At that moment, someone knocked on the counter. She raised her head in confusion. The moment she saw Tobias, she thought she was seeing things!"M-Mr. Ripley…" The receptionist stuttered. Tobias' face turned red with rage, while his eyes were laced with coldness. His voice was chilly when he spoke. "Which room are they in?"She was puzzled by Tobias' question for a second before realizing that he must've meant Lucy and Billy. She was so frightened that she was trembling all over. "T-They're in room 5188."Tobias exuded a cold air as he spoke with absolute authority, "The key card."According to the hotel's regulations, she couldn't give the key card to anyone other than the people who checked into the room. However, this was Tobias. He was the big shot in the entire Azureville. And he was asking for the key now. The receptio

Billy continued to administer acupuncture for Lucy, despite the commotion caused by the other people. He looked very charming when he was focused on giving treatment.Tobias coughed awkwardly.He composed himself and said, "You chose to have acupuncture here, of all places. Anyone would've misunderstood you."Lucy pursed her lips and looked at Tobias pitifully. "I don't want to go through with the surgery, darling. Billy is an excellent doctor. He can develop a new oral medication for my condition."Did Lucy just call him Billy? Heh. It sounded as if they were quite close.Tobias was green with envy, and it showed in his tone when he spoke. "Ripley Group owns multiple hospitals with countless medical specialists. You're free to choose if you want traditional or modern practitioners."Why would you let this man administer acupuncture for you? You're going to get your hands ruined. Let's go, babe. We should go to a professional at a hospital."Billy stopped in his tracks and looke

Lucy glared at him. She would've kicked Billy if her feet weren't covered in silver needles. After all, Billy did have the capabilities to remove someone's tongue in under a minute. She wouldn't just let him harm Tobias!Tobias hesitated for a moment and said, "You say he's Nightshadow. Do you have proof for that?"He was a prestigious figure. Anyone who laid eyes on him would've been struck with fear. However, Billy looked rather cocky. Not only was he not afraid of Tobias, but he'd even threatened him.What if Billy truly was Nightshadow?Billy was about to say something when Lucy grimaced. "What's wrong?"Tobias saw the anguish on her face and asked in a worried tone, "Are you feeling okay?""It hurts so much, darling."Billy saw it and came over to check on Lucy, too. He had just gotten close to her when Tobias grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off the floor. Tobias snarled coldly, "How could Nightshadow be this young? You'd better hope that nothing happens to Lucy.
