Tobias took Anna to the hospital. After a series of check-ups, the doctor said that everything was fine with her and that he'd just prescribe her some medicines. All she had to do was take some rest. Anna was completely fine when Tobias took her to and back from the hospital. However, she started grumbling again just as he dropped her off at home. "My belly is starting to hurt again, Tobe. I feel awful… Can I lean on you?" Anna looked like she was in a lot of pain. It didn't seem like she was faking it. The next moment, she was about to lean on Tobias' shoulder, but he ducked out of the way. He looked out the window. The sky had turned dark. He was worried about Lucy. So, he said impatiently, "Where's Griselda? Ask her to look after you.""Griselda had some emergency at home, Tobe. She couldn't help me for the time being.""I'll hire another private nurse for you.""Tobe!" Anna cried and asked, "It looks like you're doing everything you can to avoid me. Do I look scary or some

"Who are you? Why do you have Tobias' phone?" Lucy sat upright when she heard a woman's voice over the phone. She sounded angry as she questioned the latter.Then, Anna spoke over the phone. "Oh. It's you, Lucy. I'm Hannah. I wasn't feeling well yesterday. So, Tobe came to my place and looked after me for the whole night."I'm so jealous of you, Lucy. You have such a gentle and affectionate husband. He made me feel particularly comfortable when he looked after me last night." Anna deliberately emphasized when she said "Tobe", "looked after me", and "comfortable."A hint of menace flashed in Lucy's eyes. She exuded coldness as she asked, "Really?"Lucy's voice was cold as she rose and went to the computer. She tracked down Anna's address using the GPS software Faith had designed. "Where's Tobias?"Anna sneered. "Well. He was tired after what happened last night. So, he's taking a shower now." She deliberately made it sound ambiguous so that Lucy's imagination would run wild.Howev

By the time Lucy returned to Ripley Residence, Howard and Agatha had just come downstairs. They saw that she'd cried so hard that her eyes had turned red and swollen. The sight broke their hearts."Why are you crying, Lucy?" Lucy hadn't thought that she'd run into Howard and Agatha. She wiped her tears and said, "Hi, Grandpa and Grandma. I-I'm not feeling well. I'm going to get some rest now.""Have your breakfast before you sleep, Lucy."Lucy responded in a choked-up voice, "I won't be eating."Howard and Agatha exchanged a look. "What's wrong with Lucy?" Both of them were feeling confused when Tobias dashed inside. He looked anxious as he swept his eyes across the place. "Did you see Lucy, Grandpa, and Grandma?""She just went upstairs to take a break. I asked her to have some breakfast, but she didn't listen to me. Why are you in such a—" Before Howard could finish his sentence, Tobias had already sprinted upstairs. Howard and Agatha swapped glances. She asked in a confus

Tobias, Lucy, Howard, and Agatha composed themselves before taking a seat on the couch. Lucy took a first aid kit and carefully tended to the bump on the back of Tobias' head. She looked at it and asked in a heartbroken tone, "Does it hurt, darling?"Howard had put his weight behind the cane when he struck Tobias. Not only was Lucy heartbroken, but she also blamed herself for it. If Tobias hadn't held her and shielded her, things could've ended pretty badly. Tobias had been hit by the cane, so naturally, it was painful for him, especially that last hit on the back of his head. It made him feel heavy in the chest. However, he wasn't injured, so he didn't let it bother him. He saw how hard Lucy was crying and comforted her immediately, "Stop crying, babe. I'm fine. It didn't hurt me at all."Lucy felt more heartbroken when she heard what he said. She touched his wound carefully and blew on it. Howard wore an apologetic expression and said, "Perhaps you should do a check-up at the

"How do you want to go about it, babe?" Lucy responded, "We have no idea if Hannah and Cedric are in cahoots, and we don't know if Cedric is after the Ripley family's assets. If these two incidents are truly connected, then we should play along with them and use their game against them. We might find out the truth that way."Tobias thought about what she said, and his lips curled into a wicked grin. He gave Lucy a thumbs-up and said, "You're so smart, babe. We'll pretend to fight with each other later. We'll make it look like we're going to divorce and make them let down their guard. "Then, I'll have my men investigate them secretly. I refused to believe that they won't reveal their true nature by then.""Alright. This is our game plan, then!"Lucy and Tobias gave each other a high-five. Both of them clicked with each other and wore a cunning smile on their faces. All of a sudden, Tobias felt dizzy. He held his head and groaned, "My head hurts, babe."Lucy quickly took a wa

Lucy left Anna's place and drove to the hospital. Once she was nearby, she bought some fruits before she went to visit Fiona in her ward. Lucy arrived at the ward and knocked on the door, but no one responded to her. She opened the door, only to find the room empty. Fiona was heavily injured. So, why wasn't she in her ward?Lucy was confused. She found a nurse and asked, "Where is the patient in this ward, miss?"The nurse responded, "Are you talking about Ms. Fiona Hawkins? Someone took her to the garden for some fresh air.""Thanks." Lucy put the fruits in the ward and went to the garden, looking for Fiona. She searched for a while before she finally found the latter by the fishpond. Fiona was sitting in a wheelchair, looking much better. "Mom," Lucy called out to her, but they were too far away from each other. So, Fiona didn't quite hear her. At the same time, a man wearing a suit walked over to Fiona. He held a bowl of porridge he'd just bought and said in Faldorian, "You

Lucy looked at the gift in her hands. She was about to go to Ripley Group to take it to Tobias. To her surprise, he acted faster and contacted her first. Lucy replied to his text, "What do you need me to do?"Tobias responded almost immediately, "I have a meeting later. We're sticking to our plan, and you're going to raise hell at my office."Lucy's lips curled into a smile. "Gotcha. I'll be there soon."Tobias was in the conference room at Ripley Group. He took a seat at the head of the conference table with more than 20 shareholders around him. Joaquin and Cedric were there as well. "We've stalled the second round of funding for the piece of land downtown, Mr. Ripley. Are you going to sign the contract with Mr. Garcia?"Tobias responded, "Of course I am."Joaquin heard what he said and responded delightfully, "It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Ripley."Tobias chuckled. "Mr. Garcia, I made a decision after careful consideration. Out of the 3.3 billion dollars for the sec

Lucy was leaning against Tobias' chest in the CEO's office. Both of them smirked mischievously. He held her and buried his face in her neck, kissing her over and over again. Lucy's face turned completely red from Tobias' actions. She pushed him away gently and gave him a look, hinting at him not to overdo it. He raised his eyebrow and ignored her warning as he continued to take advantage of her.Lucy felt helpless, but she shouted at the door. "Are you going to sign the divorce papers, Tobias?"Tobias responded, "I'm not doing that." Then, he continued to caress Lucy sensually.Lucy almost moaned. She roared quickly, "You had an affair, and yet you don't want a divorce? Are you planning to have a mistress and a wife at the same time?"Tobias retorted, "Haven't I given you enough money to spend? I won't treat you badly, no matter how many mistresses I have. You should know to quit while you're ahead."Lucy glared at him. Well, good on Tobias. So, this was how he really thought. S

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
