Tobias leaped into the sea. The tides were rising, and the waves were violent, so his efforts to swim were strenuous. He felt as if the waves were about to swallow him, but he couldn't be bothered and continued to search the sea. However, he saw nothing apart from the endless body of water.Unsure how long he had been swimming, he started to feel like he was losing his breath. Then, a professional dive rescuer brought him to shore. When he opened his eyes again, he lifelessly lay on the ground, utterly hopeless.Fiona wailed and said, "Tobias, how could you be so silly? Lucy is gone, but you cared about nothing and leaped into the water. What is your family supposed to do? Were you planning to abandon me and your grandparents?"When Fiona mentioned his grandparents, Tobias' heart pounded."Tobias, listen to me. You have to continue to live life well. Lucy would be devastated to see you so deranged."Fiona tried to persuade him, but everything she said fell on deaf ears.Tobia

During the next couple of days, Tobias locked himself in his room. The room was pitch black. He hid in a corner and refused to eat or drink. The once calm and handsome man had turned into a dispirited middle-aged man.His head was a mess, and his beard was unshaven. He stared blankly at the ceiling, unable to sleep and eat. He was like a walking zombie.Fiona was anxiously pacing back and forth outside his room. "Samson, what should we do? It has been days! What are we supposed to do if Tobias continues to be so bleak? Ripley Group is in trouble, and Aloysius is about to succeed as the new CEO. Is Tobias going to allow this to happen?" Samson comforted her, "Fiona, if you're worried, I'll ask a renowned hypnotist from Faldoria to come and hypnotize him."Fiona said in shock, "Hypnotize him? Is it to forget everything that happened between him and Lucy?"Samson nodded, "Yes. Lucy's death had caused so many grievances to him. If we don't hypnotize him, he might die."When Samson

Tobias saw how unkempt he was. He looked like a spiritless vagabond, lacking the imposing presence he once had.Tobias returned to his bedroom and washed up quickly. After changing his clothes, he returned to his high-spirited self once again.However, at this point, Tobias had no warmth to him. He was a ruthless demon."Let's go."Tobias took the car keys, and Cedric followed him.Tobias asked, "What is going on at Ripley Group?"Cedric said, "Many in Ripley Group are unhappy with Aloysius. Those who did not cooperate with him were asked to leave. Many of the employees were replaced with his people. Oh, Finn and Avery were asked to leave too."Tobias stopped in his tracks and said, "Let's go. We need to find Finn and Avery."They found Finn and Avery. After carefully plotting, they sought out many others.They knew Aloysius was behind everything, but they needed proof. Gathering evidence of his misdeeds was the most important thing now.Tobias only behaved like an average pe

Lucy's death left Tobias in despair, but continuing to waste himself away was not a solution. He refused to listen to anyone's advice. If they could alter his memory through hypnosis, it could potentially give him the hope to stay alive.When Fiona made this decision, she knew Tobias would never agree. However, if they didn't follow through with the hypnosis, Tobias would not stay alive for long.Samson said, "Fiona, I'll contact the team to come and help Tobias."Fiona looked at Tobias' pale complexion, worried. "Okay."The Faldorian hypnotist, Jerry, arrived at the hospital three days later. At this point, Tobias was still unconscious. His complexion remained pale as his eyebrows were knitted together. He appeared to be in pain even when he was unconscious.Samson said, "Jerry, Tobias is in your hands. Hopefully, he'll be renewed."Jerry assured him, "You can leave him to me."Tobias' family left temporarily, leaving him and Jerry in the room.For the next hour, Fiona's a

Why did he feel a pain so intense that it was difficult to breathe when he heard this name?Fiona covered her mouth in shock and asked, "Do you remember Grandpa, Grandma, and Samson?"Tobias looked at her, confused. He thought she was acting strange but played along and nodded. He said, "I remember."Fiona understood it now—Tobias remembered everyone except Lucy and everything about her.Fiona felt a burden in her heart. She was unsure whether to feel happy or upset.Tobias looked at Fiona, confused. He asked, "What's wrong, Mom?"Fiona patted his shoulder and said, "Nothing. You've injured your head from the accident. The doctor mentioned you might have lost some memories, so I asked these questions. It looks like you remember everything."Tobias laughed and said, "Why would I forget all of you?"Fiona smiled at him. It appeared less convincing than her cry. He remembered everything except Lucy.At this moment, Samson entered the ward with some takeaway. "Fiona, the takeaway

It was a surveillance video from more than 30 years ago. The video was blurry but clear enough to identify the person's face.In the video, a young Fiona was drunk and entered the hotel. She bumped into a person in the lobby, and both of their key cards fell on the ground. Without their knowledge, they accidentally swapped key cards. Then, Fiona appeared at the door of a hotel room. She swiped the card and entered the room.In the second half of the video, Samson entered the same room.When they watched the video, they were dumbfounded.Fiona asked, "Samson, who sent this USB flash drive to you? Why did they do it?"Samson's eyes dimmed as he said, "I'll ask someone to look into this."Samson looked at Fiona deeply and said, "Are you the woman I had a one-night stand with at the hotel 30 years ago?"Fiona couldn't believe it. "I only found out it was you today. Didn't Joey say it was Zayne?"Overwhelmed with emotion, Samson and Fiona held each other's hands. Fiona asked, "Sam

Samson was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I'll get someone to buy the plane tickets. Pack your bags, and we'll leave in a while."Tobias asked in surprise, "Are we leaving this soon?"Samson said, "Yes. Someone sent me a USB flash drive and exposed what happened to me and your mother back then. It has caused a commotion. I assumed my opponent used this to soil my reputation, so I must head back immediately to handle this."Tobias nodded and said, "Okay, I'll head upstairs and pack my bags."He returned to his room. He chose to pack lightly and was done pretty quickly. He observed the room before him and felt he had forgotten something.…On Pearl Island, a woman slowly opened her eyes. She looked around the foreign environment and said hoarsely, "Water.""You're awake."Noah brought a glass of warm water to her. He held the woman up and fed her water.The woman gulped half the glass of water and observed her surroundings. "Where is this?"Noah said, "This is my ship. You've bee

Noah brought Lucy to a hospital in Azureville for treatment.She was pregnant, so he brought her to the obstetrics and gynecology department to have tests done. After more than two hours, Noah and Lucy were in the consultation room. The doctor said, "The babies are slightly over three months old. The twins are developing well. Please remember to come periodically for your pregnancy check-ups."It was only then that Noah knew Lucy was having twins. He finally understood why her stomach looked like she was pregnant for seven to eight months when she was only three months pregnant. Her stomach was as big as a watermelon.Noah and Lucy exited the consultation room and went to the neurology department.The doctor ran a series of tests on Lucy and said, "Her head has suffered a massive impact, causing a blood clot at the back of her brain that had applied pressure onto her nerve. This is the cause of her memory loss."Noah asked, "Doctor, how long will she take to recover?"Lucy look

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
