It was midnight by the time Tobias went back to Ripley Residence. Lucy was particularly tired ever since she got pregnant. She waited for him on the bed for a while after she washed up. In her grogginess, she felt someone lying down next to her.Lucy opened her eyes and murmured, "You're back, darling. What time is it now?"Tobias rubbed her head affectionately and said warmly, "It's 11:00 pm now. Did I wake you and the twins up? I'm sorry. I'll come home earlier from here on out."Lucy moved to the side and held Tobias tightly. She shook her head and said, "It's fine. You're working really hard, darling."Tobias pulled Lucy into his arms. He touched her belly and said affectionately, "Babe.""Hmm?"Tobias said, "It doesn't matter what happens tomorrow, but you have to trust me. Okay?"Lucy raised her head and gave him a confused look. His eyes were profound. Although he looked intelligent all around, she could still sense his fatigue. She leaned on his chest and nodded. "Okay

Lucy saw that the entire internet was flooded with news about Tobias' illegitimate child. After that, she recalled how Tobias asked her to believe in him out of nowhere. Lucy knew what happened, then. It turned out he knew what was going to happen today. That was why he said what he said yesterday.Lucy looked at the "evidence" and found them distasteful. Her mood was ruined to a certain extent. It wasn't because she didn't believe in Tobias. Instead, it was because this fake news annoyed her. It was also very heartbreaking to know that Tobias was falsely accused when he didn't do anything wrong. Lucy was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions when her phone rang. It was Brett. She answered the call. "Brett?"Brett asked gingerly over the phone, "Do you know about what's going on on the internet now, Lucy?"Lucy nodded and responded, "Yeah. I saw it."Brett said, "Don't be too sad about it, Lucy. Men are prone to make mistakes sometimes. Just forgive him this time. He won't do it e

The Ripley Group urgently called for a press conference. Reporters from various news companies were gathered at the venue. They were all discussing Tobias having a mistress and an illegitimate child.The moment Tobias arrived at the scene, all the reporters took his pictures relentlessly."Please explain about the mistress and the illegitimate child, Mr. Ripley.""How do you look Mrs. Ripley in the eye when you have a mistress out there, Mr. Ripley?"Tobias sat at the center of the table and responded calmly, "The kid isn't mine.""You say that, but the result of the paternity report confirmed that you're the father of that child.""You're just trying to shirk responsibility, Mr. Ripley!"Tobias looked at all of them coldly. "I'm not going to repeat myself. I will release the relevant evidence after this!"Then, Tobias rose to his feet and left. He had barely turned around and taken a few steps when someone shouted, "Hold it right there!"It was one of the reporters. "Mrs. Rip

Anna stood atop a tall building. She could see the Ripley Group's lobby from here. She looked down on everything and thought of herself as a ruler who had everything under her thumb.Anna went out shopping yesterday and accidentally saw Tobias, Millie, Kate, and Rhett heading toward a hospital that was owned by the Ripley Group. She tailed them, but she couldn't follow them inside because they used the staff passage. So, Anna had no choice but to wait outside the entrance. After more than an hour, she saw Tobias' good friend, Peter, hurrying over to the hospital. That was when she harbored a guess.Tobias was probably onto something.Today, every news reported that Tobias had an illegitimate child. Then, she thought about how very calm Tobias was today. She put two and two together and guessed that he probably knew that someone was messing with him. That was why he did another DNA test secretly.Anna's phone rang. She answered the phone. "It's done, Ms. Lane. We swapped the repor

"What? I can't believe it. Kate is my daughter? Damn it, Millie. She's full of lies. All she does is deceive me!"Rhett wore an inexplicable expression. No one knew if he was shocked or amazed. He picked up his phone and coat before he hurried over to the press conference venue. On the other hand, the reporters went wild after they got juicy gossip one after another. "Rhett Eberhard? Is she talking about Rhett from that Eberhard family?" "Exactly. That's him. I think his fiancé is a famous noblelady from Azureville. Her name's Miranda Robertson. With that said, no one knew that he had a kid. Is he really that kid's father?""Miranda and Millie share the same family name. Are they related?"Millie's face gradually turned pale. She was afraid, but she mustered up her courage and said, "Rhett Eberhard is my daughter's dad, but I've never dated Mr. Eberhard. I got pregnant due to an accident. "I couldn't bear to abort my unborn baby, so I secretly gave birth to her and raised h

Lucy was supposed to go to the Eberhard Residence for lunch. However, she went over to console Millie and missed out on going there. So, she and Tobias went to Eberhard Residence for dinner in the evening. Brett took a sip of tea and said in a shocked tone, "I caught the livestream for today's press conference, Lucy. I didn't expect Kate to be Rhett's daughter at all!""I was very surprised, too. It didn't seem like Rhett was close to Millie. I also didn't think that…" Lucy's eyes swept across the room. "Anyway, where is Rhett?"Brett shrugged and asked, "How would I know?"He added, "Congratulations on your pregnancy, Lucy. I asked the chefs to prepare you a nutritious meal. I hope you like it."Lucy smiled sweetly. "I appreciate it, Brett."Brett chuckled and poured some tea. Then, he gestured for Tobias to drink it. "Enjoy your tea, Tobias."Tobias had kept quiet the whole time. He smiled and said, "Will do."Both Tobias and Brett were sipping tea leisurely, while Lucy smil

Tobias rushed over. He didn't notice that Maya was right next to Lucy and pushed her aside. Brett also heard the commotion and got over there. He saw Maya staring at Lightning coldly. As for the cat, it was very mad and bared its teeth at Maya."You're bleeding, babe!"Brett hurried over and shoved Maya out of the way. He asked, "What happened, Lucy?"Tobias held Lucy's hand. He was heartbroken. "Does it hurt?"Then, Tobias stared at the agitated cat, and his eyes were laced with coldness. "Did it scratch you?"Lucy said, "This is strange. Lightning was well-behaved when Sasha and I petted it. Why is it so agitated today? It's not out to hurt me, darling. This is just an accident."Hearing Sasha's name again made Brett's body go stiff. However, everyone focused their gaze on the blood on Lucy's hand and didn't notice his rigid expression. Tobias took the first aid kit over and said, "It's just an animal, babe. Don't anthropomorphize it. You're pregnant now. So, you can't touch

Millie blushed when Rhett said "sister-in-law". She was either shy or ashamed because she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at anyone.Rhett heard what Lucy asked him and responded, "Yeah. We just got our marriage certificate this afternoon. Also, we changed Kate's family name. Her name is Kate Eberhard from here on out."After the press conference, Rhett found Millie and questioned her about what happened back then. Once he learned the truth, he took her to the city hall and got their marriage certificate.Lucy nodded. Kate was Rhett's daughter. It was only natural that her family name was changed to Eberhard. What really surprised me was that Rhett and Millie got married in a single afternoon. Kate waved at Lucy and Tobias. "We meet each other again, Mr. and Mrs. Ripley. I'm not taking away your babies' Daddy, Mrs. Ripley. Are you still mad at me?"Lucy smiled helplessly. Her face turned red because of what Kate said. She patted the little girl's head and responded, "I'm

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
