Rhett said bitterly, "Will you spare me from jogging, Tobias? It's bad for our health if we run immediately after a meal."A smile crept up onto Tobias' face. However, it was more like a blood-chilling grin. "It'll make me think that you didn't actually eat too much if you're not going to jog. Instead, it looks like you're…"He didn't finish his sentence. He was about to say that Rhett was playing tricks. Rhett was feeling diffident to begin with. Now that he heard what Tobias said, he exclaimed immediately, "I'll jog. Alright?"Rhett asked in embarrassment, "How many laps am I jogging?"Tobias responded in a commanding tone, "50!"Rhett was rooted to the spot. Then, he asked, "What about you?"Tobias responded, "I didn't eat too much. I'll watch as you jog. Go, now. I won't let you off if you skip one lap."Rhett was speechless. Why should he listen to Tobias?He sensed Tobias' authoritative demeanor and followed the latter's orders in confusion. Rhett had no choice but to g

Now that it had come to this, Lucy knew she couldn't hide the truth anymore. With that said, it was connected to Tobias. How disheartened would he feel if he learned that Joey wasn't his birth mother?For a moment there, Lucy hesitated. She didn't know how to formulate words to tell him about the truth. Tobias noticed her grim expression and asked, "What on earth is going on?"At the next moment, his phone rang. It was Miles. Lucy said, "Answer the call first."Tobias took the call. "Hello.""I got my hands on some surveillance footage, Tobias. I discovered that Lucy and your mom had some conflict at the rooftop on the day that she had a car accident. I've emailed you the footage."Tobias' heart sank. "Got it."He lowered his gaze and chuckled coldly with his back turned to Lucy. "Does Joey have something to do with your car crash?"Lucy heard Tobias and Miles' conversation. Tobias was highly intelligent. It wouldn't have taken him long to figure out the entire picture.Lucy

The next day, Lucy sat in front of the mirror and checked her appearance. All of a sudden, the door to the makeup room swung open. Faith asked, "The reporters are here, Lucy. Can we begin the press conference now?"Lucy nodded, "Proceed!"Both of them walked onto the stage. In a matter of seconds, the reporters snapped pictures, and the cameras flashed incessantly. Lucy sat in the middle seat, appearing calm. Lucy said, "I'm Lucy Everhart, everyone. I've gathered everyone here because I have an important announcement to make. It just so happens that this is related to my husband, Tobias Ripley."At the same time, Joey intended to release some secrets on her Twitter account. Little did she know she'd see the livestream of Lucy's press conference. She shot up from her bed instantly. "Isn't Lucy supposed to be unconscious? How did she wake up all of a sudden? She's even organized a press conference…" Joey trailed off into silence and murmured, "Is it possible that she's exposing

Joey had committed multiple crimes, and there was evidence to back it up. It was irrefutable, but she was adamantly denying it. Just as everyone thought that the police officers would subdue her, a man popped up out of nowhere. It was none other than Fiona's father, Joseph Hawkins. He said, "Mrs. Ripley has left something out!"At the next moment, the people around him swapped glances and muttered."What's going on now?""Falsely accusing someone of a crime is against the law, too. Which one of them is telling the truth? I'm so lost right now!"Joseph walked into the venue. The moment Joey saw him, her eyes were latched with menace. It was as if she was hinting at him that she'd kill him if he so much as spilled anything about her.Be that as it may, Joseph wasn't afraid of her at all. He said, "There was one more thing about Joey that not even Mrs. Ripley knows about.""Joseph Hawkins!" Joey roared, "Are you trying to get the entire Hawkins family destroyed?"Joseph sneered.

Lucy felt upset. She looked at Tobias' questioning gaze and nodded, saying, "D-Darling, I wanted to find a suitable time to tell you. I never thought you would find out so quickly."Tobias remained unfazed by the massive news. However, Lucy knew how much turmoil he was experiencing inside.Lucy held his hand tightly and said, "There are some unreliable mothers in this world. But there are some like Fiona, who don't know who they are and yet risk their lives to protect their children when needed. Blood is thicker than water."Tobias remained expressionless, and Lucy couldn't figure out what he was thinking. Instantly, the atmosphere became tense.Joseph sighed. "Tobias, your mother doesn't know you're her son!"Tobias' lips trembled as the look in his eyes changed.Joseph looked at Joey and said aggressively, "Back then, this vicious woman imprisoned my daughter and told everyone she herself was pregnant. "I thought something was off, so I investigated it discreetly and realized

Tobias and Lucy left the press conference. They got in the car, and Tobias drove away. Lucy quietly observed Tobias, trying to figure out how he was feeling. Lucy cautiously asked, "Darling, are you angry that I didn't tell you that Fiona was your mother?"Lucy quickly explained, "I thought about it before and was afraid you couldn't take the news, so I decided to tell you after a few days. I didn't plan to keep it from you."Tobias held the steering wheel with one hand and caressed Lucy's head with the other, saying, "Don't overthink it. Why would I blame you?"Lucy took a document from her bag and said, "Darling, this is your DNA report with Fiona. "Tobias stopped the car by the side of the road and read the document. The document wrote, "Tobias and Fiona's relationship is positive."Tobias believed this was the truth! Tobias' gaze turned grim for a moment. Then, he turned the car around and went somewhere else. Lucy said, "Where are we going?"Tobias' eyes darkened. "

Lucy went to the reception counter on the floor where she had been admitted."Ms. Everhart, this is your DNA report."DNA report?Lucy took the report and only remembered that Rhett gave this report to her. After taking it from him, she left it on the table and completely forgot about it.The report initially belonged to Tobias. However, she used her details to admit herself to the hospital, so the staff contacted her instead.Suddenly, Lucy recalled the press conference this morning and remembered Joey's claim that Tobias had an illegitimate child.Now, Tobias' DNA report was in her hands!Instantly, Lucy was caught between a rock and a hard place.On the one hand, she thought Joey made everything up, and she believed Tobias' character. On the other hand, she couldn't resist the curiosity in her.As Lucy opened the document file and was about to retrieve the report, Rhett called."Hey, Rhett.""Lucy, Mom and Dad are back home. Come back home and have lunch with us.""Ah?"

Lucy looked up, only to see that the man who had spoken up was none other than Cedric.When Cedric's eyes landed on the DNA report, Lucy couldn't wipe her tears away quickly enough and kept the report in the bag.He asked, "Why are you crying, Lucy? Did someone hurt you? Don't tell me it's Tobias. If it is, I'll teach him a lesson!" Lucy looked away. She wiped her tears and changed the topic, asking, "Why are you at the hospital?""Oh, I have a friend who fell and was admitted to the orthopedics ward. I came to see her. " Cedric was concerned for Lucy. "A-Are you okay?"Lucy shook her head and said, "I'm okay. Can you keep this a secret for now?"Cedric gestured an "okay" and asked, "Can you help me with something?"Confused, Lucy looked at him. Cedric chuckled. "My friend is a lady. She fell and wanted me to apply medication for her. I think there should be some boundaries between a man and a woman, so I wondered if you could help her with the medication. I'll get a helper for

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
