Luana recounted to Clarissa how Travis had threatened her.

"No wonder Travis brought so many people to the wedding. He was using me to threaten you," Clarissa said, her face filled with self-reproach.

"Luana, you're so foolish. You shouldn't have risked yourself for me."

She gently touched Luana's face, which had become gaunt from worry.

Luana had always been beautiful. It seemed that creeps like Travis were always drawn to her.

In the past, whenever she was bullied or stalked, she would tell Clarissa and Albion.

But this time, facing such danger, she had chosen to bear it alone.

She must have wanted to protect Clarissa.

Clarissa's eyes were filled with heartache. "Luana, if anything like this happens again, you have to tell me."

Although she might not be able to take on those wealthy and powerful men, she could fight tooth and nail to protect Luana.

If any of those shameless men dared to harm Luana again, Clariss

    Clarissa hoped that Luana would find someone who truly cared for her, and then she would be at ease."Yeah, there will definitely be someone in the future," Luana replied, masking the sadness that flickered in her eyes with a nod, pretending everything was fine.In reality, there was no future for her.Albert quickly finished cooking and called them to help bring the dishes to the table. They turned off the TV and stood up.After the three of them finished dinner, Clarissa went to the bathroom, while Albert walked to the kitchen and answered a phone call.Luana was packing up the leftover food on the table, intending to put it in the fridge, when she heard Albert's voice just before she pushed open the kitchen door."Honey, wait for me for another half month. I'll go back once I've sorted things out. It's too risky to go too often..."The kitchen door had decent soundproofing, so only this sentence was faintly audible, and the rest wa

    Hearing Calvert's crisp and pleasant voice, Luana forced her eyes open."Mr. Coburn, what's the matter?" she asked."Are you feeling any better?" Calvert inquired.Luana gave a soft "Mm," as a response.Seeing her cold demeanor, Calvert felt a pang of disappointment, but he quickly adjusted his mood."Miss Hammond, Coburn Group is hosting a celebration tonight. Would you do me the honor of being my date?" he asked.Luana was taken aback and immediately refused without thinking. "I don't want to go," she said flatly.Calvert didn't seem upset by her rejection and continued in a gentle tone, "Just come as a favor to me, okay?""Why do you need me when you have Stanley to look after you?" Luana replied indifferently.Calvert explained, "Stanley made a minor mistake, and I sent him back to Washington."Luana had thought Calvert would head back to Washington after the bidding. She was surprised to learn not only that h

    Luana felt a bit out of place. After all, this was Calvert's company. Attending the celebration in this capacity made her felt rather awkward.Calvert sensed her discomfort and whispered in her ear, "You've been working on this project with me for a while. It's natural for you to be here as my date. You've earned it."After hearing his words, Luana slightly turned her head, creating a bit of distance between them.This subtle movement didn't go unnoticed by Calvert, who found it somewhat jarring.However, he didn't show it. After guiding her to the main table, he called over a waiter and ordered a glass of milk for her."Drink this," he said.He handed it to Luana.This gesture was a habit he had developed over time, just like Clarissa.They always gave Luana the food before eating.Albion, in particular, had always prioritized her needs, ensuring she ate first no matter the situation.Back when they were poor and

    Luana sensed something was wrong and quickly turned around, bypassing several three-dimensional mirrors that blocked her view. She saw Travis sitting in a wheelchair.Travis, dressed in a patient's gown and wearing a mask, had his hands dangling over the armrests of the wheelchair. His eyes, filled with malice, were fixed on her.The moment Luana saw Travis, her heart seemed to stop beating. She was instantly overwhelmed by fear and tension."Mr. Elan..." she stammered, her face pale and her voice trembling.Seeing her so frightened, Travis tilted his head slightly and said, "Miss Hammond, long time no see."Luana's entire body was shaking, but she tried to compose herself and asked, "Mr. Elan, what brings you to the ladies' room?"Travis smiled, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said, "Nothing much, just wanted to thank you."With that, he removed his mask, revealing a mouth stitched with more than a dozen stitches.The dense

    She clenched her fists tightly, still gritting her teeth in denial. "That masked man, who dared to go against Mr. Elan, must have a lot of power. Someone of my background, how could I possibly get in touch with someone so powerful..."Travis still had a sinister smile on his face. "You're still as good at making excuses as you used to be. You almost had me believing you again, but this time..."He paused for a moment, and his eyes, filled with sinister anger, suddenly blazed with ferocity."I will never let you go!"With that, he kicked Luana fiercely, sending her sprawling to the ground.Before she could react, one of the bodyguards struck her back with an iron rod.The pain from the blow shot through her back, making her break out in a cold sweat instantly..."Bitch! It's one thing that you teamed up with Bert from the Moriarty Group to screw me over, but you also sent someone to harm me. Do you think I'm easy to bully?!"His

    The person who burst in was Calvert, dressed in a black suit...The moment Luana saw him, she felt as if she had seen Albion from the past.Back then, when she was bullied and locked in the restroom by her classmates, it was also him who had rushed in to save her."Albion..."The name she blurted out instinctively caused Calvert's heart to jolt painfully. The pain spread throughout his entire body.Without a second thought, he rushed over, kicked the security guards out of the way, and took off his coat to cover Luana."Luana, don't be afraid..."He picked her up and held her tightly in his arms, whispering words of comfort.It was something he said without thinking, but it left Luana stunned.She suddenly couldn't tell whether the person who had come to her rescue was Calvert or Albion."Mr. Coburn..."Travis, sitting in his wheelchair, tilted his head and greeted Calvert casually, as if he wasn't afraid o

    "Okay."Calvert nodded at her. As he carried her through the banquet hall, several bodyguards spotted them and quickly surrounded them.These bodyguards, seeing how severely Calvert was injured, were all filled with guilt for not protecting him properly and were apologizing to him one after another.But Calvert didn't care at all. He instructed the bodyguards to take Travis to the police station and then quickly headed towards the hotel lobby.Luana wasn't wearing any clothes, but fortunately, Calvert's coat was large enough to cover her petite body.However, she still felt very uncomfortable, worried that people coming in and out of the hotel would see her, so she buried her head deep into Calvert's chest.As she nestled in his arms, a group of about twenty bodyguards suddenly entered the hotel entrance, blocking their way.Calvert abruptly stopped and looked towards the entrance, where a man got out of a stretch Lincoln.The

    "Cline!"Calvert's face turned ashen with rage as he saw Cline treat Luana so roughly.He didn't care about Cline's status anymore and lunged at him, aiming to throw a punch.The group of bodyguards that Cline had brought in had turned away when Luana's clothes had slipped off earlier.Now, sensing Calvert's hostility, they quickly turned back and stepped forward to hold him back.No matter how strong Calvert was, he couldn't match twenty-plus professional bodyguards.Soon, he was pinned to the ground, immobilized.Russell stepped forward, patted Calvert on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Mr. Coburn, my boss needs to settle some personal scores. Please wait to the side."Though Russell's tone was polite, his actions were anything but gentle.Whether Calvert liked it or not, the bodyguards dragged him away.Seeing this, Luana quickly said to Cline, "Mr. Moriarty, I'll go with you. Please don't hurt him."

    She quickly lowered her eyelashes, blocking out that scorching gaze.The man stared at her for a while, and upon noticing the flutter of her lashes, he confirmed she was truly awake.He straightened up, said nothing, and turned to leave, soon returning with an elderly man.The old man had golden hair and blue eyes, his head full of white hair. Dressed in a white suit, he looked spirited and elegant.The man led the elderly gentleman in, raised his slender finger, pointed at Luana on the bed, and asked with a frown, "George, how did she wake up?"George?Luana was taken aback. Eva had mentioned that Cline had contacted a renowned international heart specialist for her, and that expert was named George. Could this be him?George didn't respond to the man's question. Instead, he activated the medical equipment and began a full-body examination of Luana.His expression was focused, his eyes filled with disbelief.His reactio

    Cline's face stiffened instantly. The body he had been barely holding together suddenly collapsed.Yes, Luana loved Albion, not him. What right did he have to stay here?He remembered how Luana had repeatedly asked him not to mess with her in the past...Since she despised him so much, if he didn't let Aibion be alone with her for a while, she would only hate him more.Thinking this, Cline slowly stood up and walked away without looking back.Calvert watched Cline's figure disappear, then turned back. He gently traced Luana's photo on the tombstone."Luana, forgive me for not telling him the truth—that you actually loved him... I just wanted to punish him for being so cruel to you... But please, don't blame me, okay?"With that, he kissed the tombstone one last time."Luana, I've passed the Coburn Group to my cousin and given all my personal assets to Clarissa. I... can come to stay with you now."Calvert took out

    Calvert managed a calm smile, "Don't worry. I'm just fulfilling my promise to take care of you. But I have to manage the Coburn Group, so I won't be able to look after you in person. I can only support you financially."He lowered his eyes, filled with guilt, "I should have taken care of you both as soon as I returned to the Coburn Group, but my amnesia made you both suffer for five years..."Clarissa pushed the folder back, "I can't accept these. I can earn money myself."Calvert insisted, "Take it. Consider it compensation for my regrets over the years." With that, he got up and left."Where are you going?" Clarissa called out.Calvert turned back, his smile making her uneasy, "To visit her.""Albion, I'm the only family you have left. Don't do anything foolish," Clarissa's voice was choked with emotion.Calvert waved his hand without turning around and walked away.He bought a bunch of flower and went to the cemetery. In the

    Clarissa had dreamed countless times that Luana was doing well in another world, much better than in the real one.She thought it was better that Luana didn't come back.After all, everyone must die eventually. Luana had just taken an earlier step.When her life ended, she would also go to that world to find Luana.Just as Luana had said in her dream, she would build a house there, waiting to welcome Albion and Clarissa when their lives in this world came to an end.Then, like after leaving the orphanage, the three of them would live in the same house, loving and taking care of each other.This way, the regrets they left in this life could be mended in another world...Clarissa came to her senses and looked at the letter Luana had left her, softly responding, "Alright..."She would live this life to the fullest and then find Luana in another world. She wanted to be sisters with Luana forever, never parting.Just as Clari

    Gath traced the belt marks on her cheek with his fingertip in a mocking tone, "Came to see you... You've been doing so 'well' after leaving the Titlington family."Eva avoided his touch and coldly said, "You've seen enough, now go. I need to rest."Gath suddenly gripped her chin with a force that made her wince, "Eva, you're getting bold, huh? Speaking to me like that."Eva winced, but Gath let go as suddenly as he had grabbed her. She looked up and caught him avoiding her gaze."Gath, I'm hungry. Could you get me something to eat?" Eva softened her voice."Who do you think you are to order me around?" Gath raised an eyebrow."Someone you've been with. Does that count?" Eva fired back.Gath fell silent for a moment, then got up and left the ward.Eva watched him leave, her smile fading, her eyes cold and filled with loathing.'Gath, if you ever fall for me, I'll make you pay for all the pain you've caused!'No soo

    "Do you know who she is? She's Sidney from the Preston family! You can't afford to tangle with her, so scram—"Zander let out a cold laugh, and the others joined in. "What a coincidence, she's exactly who we're looking for."Amid their eerie laughter, the man immediately abandoned Sidney, pushing through the crowd to flee.But he had barely taken two steps when a man in a black mask yanked him back.With a judo throw, the black-masked man sent him crashing to the ground, rendering him unconscious on the spot.Zander turned to Cline, "Sir, what shall we do with her?"Cline lowered his head, massaging his right hand that was oozing blood, as hatred surged within him.He was the cause of Luana's fatal injury, and now Sidney and Runa, who had humiliated her, deserved no less.He narrowed his eyes, his voice icy, "First, give her a hundred slaps, then..."He paused, his tone turning vicious, "Throw her into 'Nightfall'

    Cline entered the study, unlocked a drawer, and retrieved a gold-bronze mask and a bottle of grey plant juice.He picked up a brush and carefully painted a wolf pattern on his neck.After finishing, he made a call.The recipient answered promptly, addressing him respectfully.Cline, gazing at the night outside, said coldly, "Tonight's targets are Sidney and Runa."The recipient responded promptly, "Yes, I'll come to pick you up right away."Cline hung up, his eyes cold and filled with malice as he looked at the manor lit by streetlights.Through the lights, he seemed to see the old mansion of the Preston family, and his eyes blazed with hatred.'Sheila, I promised my father I wouldn't kill you, but you've destroyed what I care about, so I'll destroy what you care about.''If you want to play, I'll play along...'Cline rewound the blood-soaked bandage on his hand and put on a pair of black leather gloves.He

    Back then, he was young and naive, thinking that by attempting suicide, his mother would show him some kindness.But he soon realized that not all women who have given birth deserve the title of "mother."Ironically, the woman who wanted to torture him to death wasn't a wicked stepmother but his biological mother.The Moriarty family treated him with care, while the Preston family, his mother's side, devised ways to torment him.He had once doubted whether he was his mother's biological son, but investigations proved otherwise. He was her son, a plaything she intended to torture to death.His mother's method of torture was to force him to live and watch everything he cared about be destroyed before his eyes.Cline's lips curled into a bitter smile. He had once believed that all mothers loved their children and had yearned for maternal love.Now, he knew better. Cline lifted his hate-filled eyes and coldly regarded the woman in the whe

    When Eva was impersonating Cline's lover, she was also terrified of being tortured to death like Valda.But she mustered the courage to do so because, since Gath sent people to rape her, she had felt she should disappear from the world.It was Cline who reached out to her, telling her not to rush revenge and that it would eventually succeed.This gave her the courage to live on.With Cline's support, Eva traveled far to study medicine.Cline had given her the strength to start anew, and so she remained devoted to him.But she hadn't anticipated that her initial intention was to protect Luana by keeping a low profile, only to inadvertently drag her into trouble.Eva lowered her dim eyes, striving to suppress her guilt, and looked up at Cline."Luana, do it!" she urged.The worst that could happen was losing her life, which was nothing to fear.Cline glanced at Eva, his icy gaze shifting back to Sheila
