Maya escaped the hospital ward and sprinted to the hospital's entrance. Just then, a woman drove to her. At that moment, hatred simmered in Maya's eyes when she thought she'd seen Lucy.The woman smiled and said, "Get in the car."Maya hesitated for a moment. The bodyguard caught up to her. "Stand right where you are!"Her heart tightened. She opened the door and shouted. "Drive!"The woman drove off. The bodyguards were catching their breath from running. They said, "Shit, she escaped. We need to find a way to get to Mr. Eberhard."In the car, Maya looked at the woman and said, "Who are you? You are not Lucy Everhart. Why do you look so much like her?"The woman looked exactly like Lucy, but Maya was convinced she wasn't Lucy. Between her brows, the woman had the same look as Maya—cunning and sinister.Anna said, "You can call me Ms. Lane. I'm like you—Lucy is our common enemy. Ms. Hudson, why don't we join forces and take Lucy down? What do you think?"A burning hatred simmer

Faced with Tobias' relentless pressure, Cedric held his ground and responded with a question of his own. "What proof do you have? Don't hurl false accusations at me."Tobias scoffed. "You won't give up until you've hit a dead end, huh?""I know everything you did to win over a dozen old-time shareholders and employees." Tobias said disappointedly, "I know Joaquin is Klaus and that you partnered with him to take over Ripley Group."Cedric's eyes flickered. He thought for a while and exclaimed, "Avery betrayed me!"Tobias didn't answer him and continued to press in. "Cedric, our family has never mistreated you. Why did you do it?"He had an answer in mind, but he wanted to hear Cedric say it.Cedric's eyes dimmed as he said, "Because I hate all of you! You're all to blame for what happened to my dad!"Confusion flickered in Tobias' eyes. "We're all to blame for what happened to your dad?"Cedric's anger hit the roof as he said, "To be exact, your dad caused my dad's death. My dad

The man's face flushed as Tobias grabbed his neck. His breathing was weak. He waved his arms frantically in the air and accidentally tugged a few strands of Tobias' hair during the motion.At this moment, Tobias felt the pain from the injuries on his body, but the injury on his head went unnoticed.The man said weakly, "C-Cedric Ripley."Disappointment and pain flickered in Tobias' eyes and disappeared, only to be replaced by burning rage. He looked like he was about to swallow someone alive. Tobias ruthlessly shoved the man aside and said, "Take them to the police."The driver regained his senses and said, "Mr. Ripley, your hand is bleeding."Tobias coldly said, "Let's go to the hospital."The accident had attracted many bystanders and scared many away. The driver hailed a cab and sent Tobias to the hospital. Then, as he was about to send the six men to the police station, they got up. "Have you gotten the item?""Yes.""Officer, these are the perpetrators. Please take the

"What? Did you get into an accident? Are you okay, darling?"Lucy became anxious when she heard Tobias had been in an accident. She felt like her heart was stuck in her throat.Tobias said, "Don't worry, darling. I only have minor injuries. This accident happened because of my confrontation with Cedric. I never thought he would come for my life!""Cedric wants to kill you?" Lucy was in utter disbelief. "I never thought he would be this vicious."They were miles apart on the phone, but the atmosphere felt tense. They had heavy looks on their faces; both of them were worried.Lucy asked, "Does he want to take over everything?"Tobias said, "From what he said, he's seeking justice for his dad's death. I'm not sure who fed him lies, but he thought my dad killed Uncle Zeke. Heh, he really thinks my dad is capable of that!"Tobias looked down on Zayne, but it was the truth. Zayne was good-for-nothing who only knew how to cling to fleeting love affairs.He didn't have what it took to

"Of course I do."As Tobias responded, he sent Lucy a few photos that were at least 30 years old. The man in the photos appeared young but exuded an intimidating energy; he wasn't someone to be trifled with.Tobias suggested, "Babe, it's getting late. Don't go back to the mountains; stay in the town. Go back tomorrow."Lucy nodded and said, "I had the same idea. I'll hang up now and call you again at the hotel.""Okay, I'll wait for you!"They unwillingly ended the call. Lucy found Brett and said, "Brett, it's too late now. Let's stay in the town and head back to the mountains tomorrow."Brett nodded. "Okay."They booked two rooms in a nearby inn and stayed in separate rooms.Brett received a call the moment he finished washing up. "Hello."A surprised voice answered the phone. "Mr. Eberhard, we've finally reached you!"Brett frowned. "What's the matter?""Mr. Eberhard, Ms. Hudson had an altercation with her brother and fell off the bed. She lost the baby."Brett's pupils s

Lucy suddenly shrieked, making Tobias anxious. "What's the matter, babe? Did something happen?"Lucy caressed her belly and said happily, "Darling, I-I can feel our babies moving!"Tobias was overjoyed. "Really?"A blissful smile spread across Lucy's face. She caressed her belly as her eyes turned into a gentle gaze. "Without us knowing, our babies have already become over two months old. They're even moving now."When Tobias heard that, he was upset. "It's a pity that I'm not with you now. I really want to feel them. Babe, how does it feel? Does it hurt?"Lucy recalled the feeling and said, "The feeling was interesting. It felt like someone punched me in the stomach.""These two rascals are bullying you before they're even born!" Tobias snorted and said, "I'll make them pay once they enter the world. I'll avenge you."Lucy covered her mouth and snickered. "You're overreacting. The punch wasn't that hard. I didn't feel a thing. It just came so suddenly that I was caught off guar

Tobias reviewed the document and called Finn using the internal line. "I've reviewed the document. I have no objections. Please arrange a time with these four business owners to sign the agreement.""Okay, Mr. Ripley."Since Finn had fallen for Joaquin's sham in Amestria, he was meticulous after receiving Tobias' warning.Finn made a call. "Avery, I have a task for you.""Sure, Mr. Carter."Finn said, "There are four CEOs. Send someone to keep a close watch on their every move. If possible, find a way to tap into their communications.""You can leave this to me!"Finn and Avery were Tobias' right-hand men. He couldn't lose either of them.At this moment, Joaquin, who was being monitored, thought he had everything under control. A smug smirk appeared on his face. Little did he know that he'd underestimated Ripley Group's resources. A more thorough investigation had been quietly underway for some time.…Lucy and Brett returned to the wooden house the next day. After breakfas

Tobias grinned and laughed when he heard Lucy’s words of affection. "Babe, I missed you too."As he spoke, he hugged Lucy and lowered his head to lock his lips with hers.

Their clothes and hair danced in the wind, creating a perfectly romantic scene.Howard and Agatha were watching from behind. They were grinning and covering their faces in embarrassment.Tobias and Lucy kissed passionately and unwillingly parted, both breathless."Darling, are you surprised that I suddenly came back?""Yes, of course I am." He didn't need to keep the bed warm on his own anymore.Lucy looked behind Tobias and noticed Howard and Agatha. Her face instantly flushed.Blushing, Lucy said, "Grandpa and Grandma are here!" She glared at Tobias, unhappy that he didn't tell her they were there.Tobias laughed and led her to the house with his hand wrapped around her waist.Agatha said, "Lucy, we're having dinner now. You came

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
