"I'm most afraid of dogs! Where are they?" Xavier hid behind Leia. He was nearly 190cm tall, but he looked like a kid hiding behind his mother's skirts.

Leia pursed her lips and tried her best to suppress her laughter, and patted his head as if he was a child. "Don't be scared, I'll protect you. Dogs won't hurt you. Just stay behind me and stop screaming."

They supported each other like an old couple and walked through that muddy road until they finally arrived at the set of Happy Days.

"Finally, it's over!" Xavier heaved a deep sigh, feeling like he had gone through hell.

"Stop exaggerating!" Leia looked at him in confusion. "This is a remote village, so there'll be mud and dogs everywhere. Why did you torture yourself and come with me if you were so scared?"

"What do you think?" Xavier headed to a small stream and washed his feet, smiling faintly. "Do I look like someone who purposely looks for trouble?"

"Yes, you do!" Leia replied bluntly.

Xavier rolled his eyes. "I was wor

    Angelo Fairfax, a famous singer, became desperate as he gritted his teeth and complained, "I can't take it anymore! I've never met such a delicate star even though I debuted so many years ago. She joined a variety show in the countryside, but doesn't even want to drink the water at this place. She demanded pure water from an expensive brand, and even asked me to cook using that water. Where can I get so much of that? How preposterous!"Angelo was in charge of cooking in the show, and he was good at it. The others enjoyed his cooking, and his skills helped him gain a lot of fans. However, Shirley had started ordering him around after she joined the show. She claimed that the pasta was undercooked and that there were insects in the food. However, what infuriated him the most was that she demanded he cook with that expensive water, or else she wouldn't eat."I've met self-important people, but she's way too much. I'm no longer famous but I was quite a successful singer in the past. I've

    Angelo extended his hand. "Mr. Stuart, you're busy so it's hard to see you. Are you here as a guest, or did you come for a visit? Why didn't the crew inform us?" The shooting had ended because it was night, so they could not tell if Xavier was a guest or merely there for a visit."We're here to see someone. May I know if Shirley is around?" Leia asked directly."Shirley?" Angelo became annoyed when Shirley's name was mentioned. He said indifferently, "She's a princess. Of course, she won't stay here.""What do you mean? Don't tell me she's not here!" Leia almost broke down. It was a long car ride, and she had soldiered through the muddy road and water path before finally arriving on the set. If they told her that Shirley was not there, she'd go mad."No, she's not staying here now. When the cameras are rolling, she'll be here." Angelo smiled bitterly."Where is she now?" Leia hurriedly asked."She's having a rest in town. Although we have bedrooms here, that princess can't stan

    "Yes!""No!"Xavier and Leia spoke at the same time. Xavier wanted to stay in the same room as Leia, but Leia felt that it wasn't a good idea to get close to him since they had officially broken up with each other."Umm… it's up to the both of you, I guess. Either way, wash up and rest well; there'll be a grand welcoming feast for the both of you early tomorrow morning. If you're not comfortable with the arrangement…" Lily thought about it for a while, then pointed at a small thatched shed nearby. "There's a cowshed over there. We can set up a bed there, and you can make do with it for one night. We don't suggest it though, because the cows are very stinky and may try to knock you down.""Are you serious?" Leia forced a smile, but was inwardly cursing. She knew that the conditions were hard at Happy Days, but surely it couldn't be so bad that she had to stay in a cow shed. "It's late. The both of you should head to bed, don't worry about us…" Xavier hugged Leia's shoulders and

    While complaining, Leia hurried to follow Xavier.The only bedroom looked rather ordinary. There was an old wooden bed, and although there was a new mattress on it, the room had bumpy floors and a leaking roof. It was not much better than the cowshed. The most horrible thing was that one had to use the water prepared in the tank for washing up—there was no tap water or hot water. Water had to be boiled on the spot if one wanted to take a bath and wash their face. It was extremely inconvenient."I get why Shirley did that now..." Leia swallowed. "We can't blame her for being a diva. It's not easy to stay here.""I think this place is pretty good." Xavier accepted his fate and flopped down onto the bed leisurely. He put his arms under his head and smiled contentedly. "The bed is rather soft, and we can look at the stars. How romantic!""Is that so? Coincidentally, I'm allergic to romance," Leia said grumpily. She pulled a chair over and sat down on it cross-legged, as if she was medi

    "Get lost!" Leia knew that he could never speak nicely. After she drove him out of the room, she quickly locked the door. She was a bit tired after the shower, so she decided to rest early that night.She had to battle against Shirley the next day.Leia woke up a few hours later, and felt rather sorry for him. She opened the door, and as expected, saw him squatting outside the door pitifully. He looked like a homeless puppy."You're awake?" Xavier looked up, his eyes watery.Leia looked at him, half expecting him to burst into tears. She sighed and said, "Forget it. Go and sleep in the room. I'll sleep in the cow shed." After all, she was a tough woman. She could handle sleeping in the cowshed, but it was cruel to ask a rich young heir like Xavier to sleep there."Thanks!" Xavier did not hesitate at all, and dashed into the room eagerly. Gone was his pitiful act and puppy dog eyes.'Leia Osborne, you're a fool! He tricked you!' Leia cursed silently as she returned to the room to

    Leia stopped Xavier from going further, and said quietly, "If you do this, I'll just be like all the other women you've dated. You'll just use me to sate your lust, and leave me when you get bored. It makes me feel cheap."They had said that during their previous fight. She knew that it had been said out of spite, but her heart ached every time she thought about it."But I'll never get bored of you..." Xavier murmured hoarsely. He closed his eyes and touched her skin, allowing his instincts to guide him. He had to admit that even though their relationship wasn't deep, their bodies were compatible. He didn't want to give her up so easily because of that."You're still talking nonsense. Don't you realize that it matters to me? Don't you think you should discuss it with me? Or am I just a tool to you, so you feel you don't have to waste your time talking to me?" Unable to stand it, Leia pushed him away and asked him, her eyes watery. She was reluctant to accept that they had broken u

    Leia was enraged by his response. She grabbed a blanket and pillow then stormed off towards the cowshed. 'Hmph! I'd rather sleep with cows than with a scumbag like you!' She gritted her teeth as she thought so. However, when she arrived at the cowshed, she found that the rich smell of cows, cow manure, and grass was too much for her. She soon returned to the room. At the moment, Xavier was sound asleep."Sleep on the floor, damn it!" Leia threw the blanket and pillow on him before she kicked him onto the floor. Satisfied, she got onto the bed.Xavier was sleeping soundly, but woke up with a start as he landed on the floor. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and crawled back into bed, then hugged her and said, "Baby, stop messing around!"He dozed off again, and Leia was at a loss for words. She wanted to kick him away but he hugged her like they were a couple who had made up with each other after a fight. She couldn't bear to kick him away either. "Forget it. What an ill-fated relationsh

    Adam was put in a dilemma but he gritted his teeth and said, "It's fine. We'll resolve it. We'll build a new house now. I think it'll be done when we shoot the next season of Happy Days, so we'll invite you as a guest then."Xavier waved. "Alright, carry on with your work. I'm too busy to join a variety show.""Yeah, I overlooked that. You must be very busy, so you can't join such a childish thing. I should have watched my tongue." Adam's flattery filled Leia with discomfort. Flattering and bullying in the entertainment circle were indeed quite bold and outrageous. She recalled watching the interesting highlights of the behind-the-scenes of Happy Days. The celebrities also fawned over Adam, and at that time, she felt that he was an upright man and different from the other celebrities.Unexpectedly, everyone in the entertainment circle was realistic about building connections. When Leia saw Adam turn to leave, she immediately asked, "Mr. Jiminez, can I ask you a question?" Adam s

    At that point, Leia leaned backward and laughed heartily. Renee listened to the conversation and shook her head helplessly. They were doomed, alright.Their enemy wanted them dead later, but here Leia was, insulting and rebuking him fiercely. He would probably kill them on the spot.Just as Renee had expected, Macsen said nothing more. Instead, he waved and instructed his subordinate, "Do it now. I can't wait any longer.""Okay, boss." Macsen's subordinate nodded respectfully and glanced at the rest of the guards. They approached Renee and Leia with two sandbags and ropes. "W-What are you doing?" Leia swallowed, terrified at the sight of the sandbags and ropes. Masen sneered and said fiercely, "Didn't you say I'm a coward? I'll show you what a coward I am."The guards bound Renee and Leia tightly and secured the heavy sandbags around their ankles.Macsen's subordinate looked at Renee and Leia, now tightly bound, and asked him carefully, "Boss, it's done. Do we just push t

    The man was stunned, then laughed heartily. "No wonder you're Stefan's most beloved woman! You're smart.""Huh? He's Macsen? How can you tell?" Leia looked at the man with confusion, her eyes widening. She never took this man as the amazing figure Liam had talked about."In the whole fort, other than Benjamin, the master, no one could offend Liam and snatch the hostages away from Mateo except for you, the one with an army. Plus, I hurt your dearest son. It's not hard to guess your identity," Renee said, her logic sound. "What a logical analysis! You think fast. I admire you for that." Macsen clapped, giving Renee an admiring look. The next moment, he turned cold. "Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush. I took you here to settle the grudge between us." "It's fine if you want to take revenge on me, but you have to let my friend go." Renee stood in front of Leia, meeting Macsen's gaze boldly. "This incident has nothing to do with her. Don't hurt her.""No." Macsen s

    "Divorced?" The man was surprised at first, but soon remained calm. He snorted, "That's not a big deal. We can't judge the love a man holds for a woman through marriage. Many men ignore their wives and are madly in love with their lovers. I'm sure Renee is the woman Stefan loves the most.""I'm telling you, he doesn't love her!" Leia insisted.She sighed. Filled with indignation, she added, "He divorced my friend for his mistress. Based on your words, his mistress should be the one he loves best. If not, he wouldn't divorce my friend and watch her date another man. Do you think a man would behave like that if he loved her?""Is that so?" The man narrowed his eyes, trying to ascertain the authenticity of Leia's words. If Stefan divorced Renee for his mistress, then from the perspective of a man, that meant he did have a change of heart. Renee was no longer the woman he loved the most.Then again, based on the information the man had found, Stefan was madly in love with Renee. He r

    The man observed Renee carefully, his gaze complicated and unreadable. He remained silent for quite a long time. Terrified by his stare, Renee wrapped her clothes tighter around herself. "If I've offended you in the past, I'll apologize to you here. Tell me how I've offended you. I think we can figure out a solution. I'm sure I can do it.""A solution?" the man snorted, his lips a sneer. "Do you think the dead can come back to life? If you think that's possible, we can figure out a solution.""Does our grudge involve the dead?" Renee asked.No matter how much she racked her brains, she couldn't for the life of her figure out when she had met this man. She recalled accepting a mission when she was young and reckless, when she needed to kill a drug lord in Southeast Aeos.As an internationally top-ranked assassin, she hated murder the most. That, and she rarely got involved in such missions. If her younger self had willingly accepted that kind of mission, however, then her enemy

    Leia swallowed and leaned close to Renee.She was as confused as Renee and wondered why they would get into so much trouble when she just wanted to visit Liam. Yet, everyone in the fort was out to get her and Renee killed. It felt like a dangerous adventure—there wasn't a single moment of respite!"I don't know, either," Renee said, "but I'm guessing it has something to do with the past and the recent events. They've long held a grudge against us."When Renee was trying to earn her living, she offended quite a lot of people since she was young and bold. Their enemies right now loomed over them aggressively, as if harboring intense hatred against them. Perhaps it was a long-held grudge. Renee couldn't imagine anything else."What should we do?" Leia asked softly.Since they were kidnapped and surrounded by armed guards, they were at their enemies' mercy. They had no idea the direction they came from. "I don't know. Let's act accordingly," Renee said, sighing.She had lost all

    Mateo frowned, thinking.After a long time, he said meaningfully, "In this fort, there's only one person who dares to fight against you and me and makes Master step forward.""Could it be…" Liam became enlightened and abruptly stood up. "Things are getting troublesome. I must find them right away!""I'll go with you." Mateo jumped out of bed and put on his clothes.Liam looked at him in confusion and snapped coldly, "Stop meddling! Are you plotting something?" He had no trust in Mateo and doubted everything Mateo did. "Plotting what? Of course I want to get them back safe and sound with you!" Mateo wiped away his cold sweat and said emotionally, "I don't want to be accused wrongly before I get anything good out of it. Both tycoons will find fault with me!"Mateo had a restless sleep the night he learned that Stefan and Xavier protected Renee and Leia. He felt that he had unknowingly got into deep trouble, and thought hard how he could resolve it.Since he had the chance to f

    Liam didn't purposely want to make things difficult for Mateo, but the whole conflict was directly linked to him. What's more, Leia and Renee were gone. Liam had no idea who to go to other than Mateo. "Didn't I make myself clear? If I told Benjamin about this, I'd get nothing out of it. I have yet to reach a consensus with you. I don't have to get rid of my backup plan so eagerly."Mateo felt helpless; he was no longer vigilant toward Liam, and instead shot Liam a disdainful gaze. "Aren't you always smart? Why are you acting like a fool now? You look lost. Just stop pestering me.""Does it really have nothing to do with you?" Liam narrowed his eyes and observed Mateo's expression, wondering the authenticity of the latter's words."I just caught them. Don't you know where they are? As long as we reach an agreement, I can let them go," Mateo said, giving Liam a hint.After having a meal with Liam that night, Mateo regretted his actions. Renee and Leia came with great supporters, so

    "It's… It's Mr. Jenkins! He told me to guard the door of the third jail and stop anyone from going in." Andrew trembled, his hands raised, submitting himself to Liam. "I made a huge mistake just now. I'm sure Mr. Jenkins won't forgive me. Can you…please beg for mercy for me by then?"Andrew was too cowardly to resist, choosing to strive for a little chance of survival. He hoped that Liam could kindly defend him before Benjamin got him killed."Did Mr. Jenkins give you such an order?" Liam looked suspiciously at Andrew, wondering about the authenticity of his words."Yes, he did! I'm under your mercy. I don't have to lie to you. You can ask him yourself," Andrew confessed fearfully, looking as if he were about to cry."That's unnecessary." Liam put away his gun and coldly exited the third jail.In a matter of minutes, he reached Mateo's bedroom and kicked it open without hesitation.The guard failed to stop him. Fearful, he said to Mateo, "Boss… Mr. Osborne would like to meet you.

    Liam's eyes flashed coldly; he quickly fished out his gun and pressed it against Andrew's forehead. "Are you talking about this?"Andrew raised his hands and sighed helplessly. "Mr. Osborne, I just did what I was told. It's useless if you make things difficult for me. Even if you shoot me, you can't go in, can you?"Andrew's subordinates aimed their weapons at Liam, and the atmosphere became tense. A careless mistake might start a war."Do you think I don't dare to shoot you?" Liam was about to pull the trigger, his face fierce.When Andrew heard the bullet being loaded, he broke out in a cold sweat and panicked. "Hey, don't!""Get out of the way if you're scared!" Liam growled, pushing the gun against Andrew's forehead tightly."Okay, okay! I'll step aside." Andrew, trembling, ordered his subordinates to retreat. Then, he led Liam to the third jail. Liam hurried to the room where he had gone to visit Leia and Renee previously. Much to his dismay, he found that it was vacant
