Tobias attempted to reach out to Lucy, yet she failed to answer her phone. He instinctively furrowed his brow as an ominous feeling crept over him. "Is something wrong? Is Mrs. Ripley on her way?" Finn asked upon noticing Tobias' solemn expression. Alongside Lucy and Tobias, Finn and Sasha were set to travel to Faldoria as well."She's not picking up," Tobias replied as his concern deepened.Finn glanced at the time and suggested, "There's still half an hour left before the flight. Why don't we head to the airport first? I'll have someone try to reach Mrs. Ripley."As Lucy's close friend and assistant, Sasha knew her inside out. Anxiously, Sasha interjected, "There's no way Lucy wouldn't answer her phone. Something must have happened to her!"Hearing that, Tobias turned to her in confusion. "Are you acquainted with my wife, Ms. Alicia?"Sasha was momentarily stunned by Tobias' question before she tried to cover up her identity. "Oh, we're old friends. Lucy's always reachable, a

Hearing the word divorce made Tobias frown in displeasure. Turning around, he walked out of the room to continue the call. Noticing Tobias' serious expression, Lucy wondered what was wrong."Tobias, you should know the benefits of this marriage more than anyone else. If you marry the Eberhards' daughter, our family's position in society will be unshakable."Tobias' anger was palpable. He said in an icy tone, "Mom, do you really think that everyone in the world is like you guys and would marry or divorce just for the sake of benefits?"There was silence on the other end of the line.He took a deep breath before stating, "Do not contact me in the future if it's not for something important."After hanging up the phone, Tobias leaned against the wall and rubbed his aching temples.Lucy noticed his weary expression. His figure looked incredibly lonely. She felt a slight ache in her heart, as if a needle were pricking it.She approached him and asked, "Tobias, what's wrong?" He seem

Anabella praised, "I didn't expect you to speak fluent Faldorian, Mrs. Ripley."Lucy merely smiled politely in response. Anabella turned her gaze to Sasha, causing the latter's heart to leap to her throat. When Anabella noticed Sasha's panicked expression, a fleeting look of disdain crossed her face. Nonetheless, she smiled and said, "This must be the renowned designer, Alicia."Sasha said in Clusian, "Your Majesty, I'm… Alicia."A person standing at the side immediately translated what she said."Let's sit down and talk, everyone.""Yes, Your Majesty."They all sat in their assigned seats."Mr. Ripley, I'll get straight to the point. My birthday party is less than a month away, and all my guests are of high social status."What I'm going to wear must be stunning. It should be able to leave an impression that lasts a lifetime while still making me look dignified and reserved. I've paid you very handsomely, so you must not disappoint me," Anabella explained.Since Tobias had

Tobias was dizzy throughout the entire journey, but his strong willpower allowed him to act like he was fine.As for Anabella and Lucy's conversation, Tobias didn't register a single word they said.Upon hearing Anabella's invitation, Lucy instinctively glanced at Tobias.Anabella assured, "This banquet is a women-only event. There won't be any men there. You don't have to worry. Mrs. Ripley, seeing as you are looking at Mr. Ripley so much, are you perhaps reluctant to leave him?"Lucy smiled politely and answered, "It's an honor to receive your invitation. I will attend the banquet."Since there wouldn't be any men attending, Lucy presumed it should be fine."That's wonderful. I look forward to having you at the banquet, Mrs. Ripley."Anabella then passionately talked about some interesting things about Faldoria while Lucy listened to her attentively, nodding along at times.They soon arrived at the first tourist spot."Mr. and Mrs. Ripley, this is Mount Aider, a paradise tha

Lucy followed Anabella to another scenic spot. As the scenery was breathtaking, Lucy couldn't help her urge to take some photos.Anabella watched Lucy's every move with mixed emotions.As she thought of something, a cold and malicious look crossed her face. Lucy was standing at the edge of a cliff at the moment. With one push, Lucy would undoubtedly fall into the abyss.When Lucy turned around, she noticed the complicated expression on Anabella's face and instantly became vigilant. Seeing Lucy abruptly turn around, Anabella immediately put on a warm smile. "Mrs. Ripley, I'm a little curious. How did you and Mr. Ripley meet? I don't mean anything by my question; I just like listening to such stories."Lucy raised a brow as her suspicions were confirmed. She was sure that Anabella had feelings for Tobias!Although Anabella was in her 40s, she still had her charms.Smiling faintly, Lucy answered, "Tobias and I met because of a misunderstanding, Your Majesty.""Then, the two of yo

Tobias' eyelids felt incredibly heavy. He wanted to wake up but couldn't open his eyes.Suddenly, Lucy's phone rang. Worried that she might disturb Tobias' rest, she stepped outside to take the call. "Lucy, help me…" Sasha was on the other end of the line."What's wrong?"Sasha explained, "The person in charge of the project is supervising me as I work. I don't know a thing about designing! "I'm so nervous that I feel like I'm about to lose my mind. If you don't solve this problem soon, I can't keep pretending to be you anymore.""I'll head over right away."Lucy hung up. She was extremely worried about Tobias, but she couldn't just leave Sasha by herself either. Hence, she went to Finn. "Finn, I'm going to go see Alicia for a moment. Call me if Tobias wakes up and asks for me.""Okay."Lucy went back into the hospital room to take one last look at Tobias. She was then taken back to the palace by the person in charge of escorting her. She quickly went into the studio, wh

"You found your parents?""Yup." Anna beamed. "Tobias, do you remember the kidnapping incident at Cloud Peak?"As she spoke, Anna had a strange look on her face. Alas, Tobias' head hurt too much for him to notice her unusual behavior."I do.""After I saved you back then, your family rushed you to the hospital for a check-up. As for me, I couldn't find anywhere to stay, so I went to Cloud Peak Orphanage. "I had a high fever during my stay there, and when I woke up, I couldn't remember anything from the past anymore."I didn't think my parents would find me after all these years. I just reunited with them a few days ago," Anna explained."I see…" Puzzled, Tobias wondered why she was telling him all of this.He questioned, "You were the little girl who was kidnapped back then?""Yes." Anna nodded fervently.Tobias stared at her with a probing gaze.The candlelight in the cave back then had been too dim for him to be able to make out the girl's face clearly. But he remembered
