Zander didn't think that his intricate plan would be revealed in front of Tobias. With that said, it didn't change anything. Even if Tobias managed to guess everything correctly, he didn't have any hard proof to support his assumption. Zander said with a smile, "What you said are conjectures at best. Furthermore, you've got it all wrong. I lost my memory due to an accident, and I thought my name was Dayton Munoz. "I went through plastic surgery because my face was ruined during the car crash, and I needed to restore my face. It was through a twist of fate that I continued to live under the identity of Dayton Munoz. Things didn't happen the way you said it did."Tobias raised his eyebrow and stared at Zander with an inquisitive gaze. "Really?" His eyes were laced with sharp wisdom. He stared at Zander with prying eyes. Obviously, he didn't buy the latter's crap. Zander held his gaze on Tobias for no longer than three seconds before he backed down and turned his gaze away. T

Zander was taken away by the police officers. A lot of people muttered among themselves while he was on his way to the police department. Back in the CEO's office, Tobias patted Cedric on the shoulder, offering him comfort. "Zander is about to get his comeuppance, Cedric. It's time you let go of the hatred in your heart."Cedric sounded lost when he asked, "Zander said my dad has an illegitimate daughter, Tobe. Is it true?"Tobias sighed and responded, "Look into it, Cedric."Cedric bit his lips gently, and his face turned red with rage. He hesitated for a long time before he said, "I'll be in touch with you later, Tobe." Then, he turned around and headed straight to the address that Zander said.Tobias watched Cedric's retreating figure and couldn't help but shake his head. He hadn't expected this at all. Zander might've come up with his convoluted schemes because of a romantic conflict, but he was the furthest thing away from a hopeless romantic. He still poached a lot of bus

Faith said, "You have to hold his head with your palm and adjust your posture with another hand, Lucy. Let Edwin's back rest against your elbow pit. This is the most comfortable posture for him."Lucy did as she was told and slowly adjusted her posture. She was particularly careful throughout the entire process. She was so nervous that her forehead was covered in sweat. Once Lucy was done adjusting the posture, she let out a sigh of relief and said, "Well, what do you know? It turns out there's a particular technique to holding babies."Sienna responded, "Why, of course. I have the most experience among all of us when it comes to looking after babies, and the most difficult babies to take care of are those born in less than a month. "Edwin wants to feed every two hours during the night. I fed him in a sleepy state every day. Once he finally grows up, he'll learn to walk and cause all kinds of mischief. Things are only going to get scarier once he's three years old."Lucy couldn'

Sienna quickly came out with a stack of design sketches and laid them out in front of Lucy. She said, "Check out my sketches, Lucy. I think they're good, but I can't shake the feeling that something was missing. For the life of me, I can't quite grasp what it is."Lucy took the sketches and studied them one by one. She might've only spent a minute on each of them, but she quickly identified their flaws and strengths. Lucy went through all of them and found that there weren't any signs of her design style. It dispelled the suspicion in her heart. Her pregnancy must've fried her brain. How could she doubt her own best friend for plagiarizing her work?Lucy couldn't help but feel ashamed. She said, "You did very well, Sienna. You can use bolder lines for this particular diamond ring. Here, try amending it this way." Lucy gave her suggestions and pointed out flaws in each of the sketches. Sienna understood everything she said immediately, and she made amendments to her sketches i

It just so happened that they had to wait for a traffic light. Tobias brought the car to a halt before he looked at Lucy solemnly and eagerly."Back when I was a little girl?" Lucy searched her memories diligently, but she didn't remember anything related to it. So, she said, "I don't think so."Tobias had a hunch that Lucy was the same "Lulu" from back then. However, he had asked her in person, and she said she didn't do anything like that. At that moment, Tobias couldn't decide if he was experiencing disappointment, loss, or something else. Faith, who sat in the backseat, chimed in, "You have to be more specific about the time and day, Tobias. Lucy doesn't have any memory from before she was sent to the orphanage. If what you are referring to happened before that, she surely wouldn't remember it."Tobias' heart pounded again. "Did you lose your memory when you were a little girl?"Lucy nodded. "Yeah. Faith's right. I forgot everything that happened before I was six years old.

Tobias and Lucy kept Howard and Agatha company in the living room. They chatted for a while, and Agatha felt tired. Then, Howard wheeled her back to her room to rest. After that, Tobias and Lucy also called it a night and retreated to their rooms. The moment both of them stepped foot into the master bedroom, he became clingy. He held her from behind and wouldn't let go. Lucy said coquettishly, "What's the matter, darling? It's very hot today. Why are you clinging to me?"Tobias responded, "I'm touching my babies."Lucy asked, "Can you do it from another position?"Tobias said in a domineering tone, "No." Then, he pulled Lucy into his arms and placed his palm on her belly. He was very affectionate and thoughtful, looking like a loving father.Tobias held Lucy in his arms and bent down before pressing his ear on her belly. He listened to his twins' heartbeats and felt a kick from inside the belly. Tobias said, "You're being mean to your mom again, brat."Lucy looked at Tobia

Tobias said, "Okay, I will meet Banshee and have her explain things clearly in public."He ended the call. The expression on his face turned serious.Lucy's eyes flickered. She acted oblivious and asked, "What's the matter, darling?"Tobias said with regret, "Babe, I need to settle an urgent matter. I can't spend time with you anymore."When Tobias mentioned Banshee, Lucy knew what was happening but pretended to be oblivious to it. Lucy said, "Go and attend to it. I'll head back once I'm done.""No. Maya is still out there. I'm concerned about leaving you on your own. I'll send you home and attend to my matter after that."Lucy said, "It's okay. I'll call a cab."Tobias insisted. "Let's go. I'll send you home."Lucy pushed Tobias toward the exit and said, "Darling, it's crowded in the shopping mall. Nothing will happen to me. If you're still worried, get a bodyguard to follow me. I'll head home soon before you know it. Go and attend to your matter."Tobias was still concerne

Miles said, "Calm down, Tobias. Lucy might be in the lift. Perhaps there is no signal on her phone, so you couldn't contact her."Tobias contemplated and said, "Yeah, I hope so."However, he was unsure why his heart was pounding.Tobias thought maybe he was too worked up after finding out Lucy was Banshee.Miles said, "Tobias, I never thought Lucy was trained medically. You've married a good one."Tobias crossed his arms to steady his trembling hands. He said, "Yes. I'm so lucky to have married her."Tobias felt unsettled. He wished he could find Lucy and get to the bottom of it. He got up and said, "Miles, Faith, I need to find Lucy. I'll see you soon." "Okay."Tobias left and drove back to Ripley Residence. He went so fast that his car was practically levitating.Tobias called Lucy several times on his way back, but no one answered. He was getting more anxious as time passed.When he returned home, Howard and Agatha were in the living room.Overcome with emotion, Tobias a

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
