Tobias waited in the car for more than 20 minutes. He was about to give Lucy a call, but she opened the car door and got inside. Tobias asked in a confused tone, "What took you so long?"Lucy smiled. "I got my stuff. Then, I have a stomachache. So, I went to the washroom."Tobias asked worryingly, "Are you feeling better now?"Lucy blushed, but it wasn't because she was embarrassed. Instead, it was because she had lied to him.Not only did he not suspect her, but he was actually concerned about her. Her face turned red out of diffidence."Yeah. It's getting late. Let's go home. I'm making you dinner tonight.""Okay."Tobias drove back home. Both of them had their own things to think about and wore a solemn look the entire drive. He stopped when the traffic light turned red. Lucy said, "Anyway, I accidentally pushed your file to the floor in the office today, darling. So, I flipped through it casually. It has details on Joaquin Garcia's investment projects. Have you read it?"

Joey was accusing Lucy, but the latter merely found it ridiculous. She knew she hadn't done anything to offend Joey, but Joey just wouldn't let it rest.Lucy glanced at Joey coldly. "Speak plainly. How am I a skank?"Joey mocked her. "You're such a slut, Lucy. You slept with another man behind Tobe's back, and the whole world has found out about it now. How do you have the guts to act all high and mighty?"At the next moment, someone slapped her hard across the face. Tobias never hit women. His patience must've been spent; otherwise, why would he slap Joey angrily?Joey's eyes widened. She covered her face and looked at Tobias incredulously. She was almost screaming when she spoke. "I can't believe you hit me, Tobe! You hit me for someone like Lucy!"Tobias said coldly, "Joey Shelton, I have severed my ties with you, and I'm no longer your son. Please stop calling me that. You're nothing but a crazy lady to me right now. It embarrasses me to hear someone like you calling me your s

Tobias vividly remembered Joey's vicious, mocking words. He had a sharp headache when he recalled them. He rubbed his eyebrows and looked distressed. All of a sudden, a loud thud could be heard as Tobias planted his fist on the wall. He struck so fiercely that the wall shook. The back of his hand even bled from it."Darling!"Lucy gasped and held Tobias, feeling very heartbroken. Her voice was choked up as she said, "I know it feels awful. Go ahead and cry if that's what you want to do. I'm here with you."Tobias turned around and held her tightly in his arms. He buried his handsome face into her neck. Tears glistened in his eyes as he wore a sorrowful expression. Tobias might've pretended to be unfazed when Joey had said those harsh words. However, only he knew knew how devastated he was. It hurt him so much that he even had trouble breathing. "They say mothers are the noblest and most selfless people in the world. The other mothers think of their sons as the best thing in th

The next day, Tobias woke up as soon as the sun came up. He had been in a foul mood after the whole thing with Joey last night. Now that he caught some sleep, he was feeling much better. Tobias looked at Lucy, who was sleeping soundly next to him, and pecked her forehead. Then, he got out of bed and got freshened up. Lucy felt the movement. When she opened her eyes, she saw Tobias walking toward the bathroom. She rolled to the side and got out of bed as well. Then, she joined him in the restroom. …Meanwhile, Joey had been admitted to the hospital last night. A lot of her body parts were wrapped up in bandages, making her look extremely miserable. Ross said, "Why are you so dumb, Joey? Why would you let things go this far with Tobias?"Joey said irritatingly, "Come on, Dad. It's the bastard's fault. He doesn't have a shred of humanity in him. If I had known this was how it would turn out, I wouldn't have shown him mercy. I would've killed him instead! As expected, he's not my

Tobias hadn't intended to read that document at first place. However, he thought about how Fiona had risked her life to save him. On top of that, Lucy kept reminding him about it as well. Both these things made him think that there was something strange about it.So, he nodded. "Alright. I'll read the document."Lucy let out a sigh of relief and said, "Drop me off at the intersection ahead. It's within walking distance of the hospital. I'm going to check on Ms. Hawkins.""Alright."Tobias pulled the car over at the intersection ahead. Before Lucy got out of the car, she pecked him on the forehead. "Here's to hoping your work goes smoothly, darling.""I appreciate it. Stay safe. Give me a call if anything happens.""Okay."Both of them went separate ways. Tobias went to Ripley Group, while Lucy made her way to the hospital to check on Fiona. She had just reached the hospital entrance when she received a call from Faith. "Do you know what I found out at the police department, Lu

Joey was in full panic mode when the doctor questioned her, but she maintained her composure and responded, "She's my best friend, doctor. I'm here to check on her.""This is outrageous. You're standing in the ward of the ICU. No outsiders are allowed in here. Get out!""Alright. Fine. I'm leaving now."Joey leaned on her crutch and left. She came to the door and gave the unconscious Fiona a sidelong glance. A hint of maliciousness flashed in her eyes as she murmured, "You got lucky."She had just taken a couple of steps when she saw someone at the corner. She looked carefully and was surprised to see that it was Lucy.Joey gasped. Her eyes were shifty. She wondered if Lucy saw what she was about to do earlier. "What are you doing here, Lucy?"Lucy's eyes were laced with coldness as she said, "How about we have a talk, Joey?"Joey chuckled awkwardly. "Sure thing."Both of them came to the rooftop. There were no other people there. That made it suitable to talk about anything. T

Joey dashed over, intending to drive the scalpel into Lucy's heart, but she underestimated her own injury. After all, she had been bitten by a dog last night. She'd even tremble when she walked. Naturally, it would be hard for her to kill someone. Joey had just darted over when Lucy took a step to the side and dodged her attack. Lucy knew she learned a big secret and had no intention of staying here with Joey any longer. So, she turned and ran. Joey screamed, "You're not going anywhere, Lucy!"Lucy stopped in her tracks. She turned around and sneered. "I'm going to expose your crimes and put you behind bars, Joey.""Hold it right there!"Joey limped over and pursued Lucy. The latter had no intention to entertain her and sprinted toward the staircase instead. Joey was chasing Lucy when she accidentally fell the stairs. It was so painful that she looked downright miserable. By the time she got to her feet and made her way to the elevator, Lucy had ridden it downstairs. "Da

Tobias was on the first floor of Ripley Group. He looked troubled. He checked his watch and looked at the distance from time to time, feeling restless. For some reason, his eyelids kept twitching. He couldn't shake off the sinking feeling in his gut.All of a sudden, an explosion sounded far away. Then, a mushroom cloud rose in the air and attracted a lot of onlookers. "What happened over there?""It looks like something exploded!"Tobias didn't know why, but his heart was pounding like crazy, and his eyelids kept twitching. The sinking feeling in his gut grew more intense. For some reason, he sprinted toward the explosion without a second thought.…The truck had crashed into Lucy's car, leading to a huge explosion. Fortunately, Lucy had run away quickly. She was merely propelled by the explosion's shock wave. Then, she rolled along on the ground and passed out with blood all over her body.A lot of people gathered around to look at the accident. Some of them pointed fin

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
