"Bea is one of us. You'll have to bring her back no matter what," Old Master Crawford said as he looked at the children who were playing in the garden. They might seem happy, but the old man could tell that they were worried. The children were still young, and they needed a mother for their upbringing. Luke was not the kind of man who would marry another woman just for their children. He was not going to love another woman other than Bianca. Luke looked at the sun that was setting beyond the mountains. Summer was coming to an end. Bianca had said that summer was her favorite season. "I will bring her back," Luke said. He had said the same sentence to many people, and he had sounded confident every time he said that. He was not afraid of any danger. Bianca was everything to him. Old Master Crawford patted his shoulder and said, "I've heard that Old Master Rayne's health is declining. I know that you're busy searching for Bianca, but don't forget to show some concern to the o
"I'm worried that she'll tire out." Eler knew that Bianca's accuracy had improved. However, it was no use if Bianca's arms tired out before she could finish the task. "Believe in her," Amur said. The mercenary noticed the siblings whispering to each other and reprimanded them, "What are you doing? You don't get to eat if you don't finish the arrows." After Eler heard that, she picked up the bow and arrows and began to shoot. At first, Bianca found it relatively easy to hit the bullseye. As time passed, her arms began to feel weaker. When she stretched the bow, her arms were shaking. "Continue!" The mercenary yelled. He did not give her time to rest. Sweat poured down her forehead. Bianca pressed her lips together and fired another arrow, which hit the bullseye. Eler could not help but feel nervous for her. Abel came to the training grounds. When he saw that Bianca only had about twenty arrows left, he smiled and slapped her arm. "Not bad. You've hit quite a lot." Bian
Socialite B rubbed his chin. After his friend's reminder, he realized that the woman looked quite familiar. "That's true. Her side profile does indeed look like that woman. Which family is she from?" When he said that, Maxine happened to turn around and look at them. Socialite A shook his head. "I don't know, but the similarities end there. The front profile isn't that similar." "Yeah, that's right. Let's go in." Socialite B nodded, and the two men went inside. Each guest was assigned a seat, which was written on the invitation card. Maxine glanced at her table number on the invitation card and walked into the hall confidently. Tonight, she would successfully captivate Luke. The Douglases were not very influential in A City, but they were quite famous in the entire country, so her table was at the front. After Maxine sat down on her appointed seat, she glanced at the tag on the seat next to her. The seat belonged to the Crawford family. 'It's Luke!' Maxine could not h
Maxine did not want to humiliate herself, so she gave up on the idea of talking to Luke. If she said something and Luke ignored her, the two people sitting opposite her would naturally look down upon her. Maxine could only browse on her phone while drinking her wine. Occasionally, she would turn her head and look around. Meanwhile, Luke sat there with a cold expression. He was also alone, but he did not seem awkward. As Maxine continued to sit there, she felt as though the people around her were mocking her. Nina, sitting next to Percy, was quite reluctant to attend the banquet. She was discreetly observing Maxine. Eventually, she was sure that Maxine had performed cosmetic surgery on her face. The signs were not obvious, but she could tell that her pure looks were not natural. Remembering that Maxine had a crush on Luke, Nina's contempt toward Maxine grew. 'Does she think that she can win Luke's heart just by making herself look like Bianca? How stupid of her.' The mor
'She can't say she hates them?' Percy narrowed his gaze. When he saw the love in Nina's eyes when she talked to Rainie, he suddenly thought of an idea. He thought that he should let Nina bear a child for him. The two people in the car were silent again. Percy's words made Nina remember the child she once had. She had hoped to deliver the child safely, but Pierre had crushed her hope. Did she hate him for that? She did, but she could not do anything about it. She was no match for Pierre at all. She had lost to him, and her child was collateral damage. Nina could not forget the scene when blood spurted from her stomach. Over countless nights, she had dreamed of the child that was not fated to be hers. Every dream was torture. All that was because of Pierre, but Nina could not tell Percy that. Meanwhile, Maxine, who had barely spoken to Luke for the entire night, watched as Percy brought the drunken man away. She was furious, but she could not throw her tantrum in fron
The most amusing thing was that Brody was hugging another woman sleeping in bed when Wayne found him. Brody did not know what happened until the woman woke up and screamed until she lost her mind when she saw all the blood. It had already been eight hours, and the doctors could not do anything. News soon spread throughout A City, and Leia slowly lost interest in him after that. She did not mind marrying a eunuch, but she did not want to be marginalized in the Hilton household together with him. Brody's father had many illicit relationships with women, and it was not surprising if he had other sons elsewhere. If he decided to select another son to inherit the family business, the family would have no reason to object. When that happened, Brody would not have any standing in the family. Wayne did not leave behind any traces. The Hiltons did not know who did the job, and Tania was helpless about it. "Don't say that, Wayne." Leia clung to him and unleashed her charm on him. "Gran
Abel's mocking comment made Maxine blush. She was used to being pampered, and other than Luke, no other man had ever treated her like that before. That made her even angrier. "Looks like you've been seduced by Bianca too," Maxine said coldly. "Alright, that's enough. Aren't we on the same side? We shouldn't be quibbling." Hera stepped up to be the mediator when she saw that the atmosphere was becoming tense. It would be bad if Maxine made Abel angry before the deed was done. Maxine grunted coldly, sat on the couch, and turned her head away. Abel lit up a cigar and dragged from it. "You don't have to worry about Bianca. Now that she's with me, she'll be begging for me to kill her." "That better be the case." Maxine paused for a while and added, "Not only that, but I want her to give up entirely on Luke." "I think so too." Abel laughed brazenly as he leaned on the couch. The main objective of his visit was to ask Maxine for a favor. "Help me get some photos," he said. "
Looking at Hera's face, Abel smiled but did not say anything. The couple went into the suite. He would not refuse any woman who offered themselves to him. Moreover, Hera was quite bodacious. An hour later. Abel leaned on the headboard and smoked a cigar. Hera took his cigar, kissed his cheek intimately, and took a drag of the cigar. She instantly coughed out loud. "Ugh. Why is this cigar so spicy?" She frowned and handed the cigar back to him. Abel took the cigar, not feeling any pity for the woman. "It's spiked with something." His cigars were too strong for ordinary people. Only one woman in the world could accept the cigar, and that woman was Kassy. Indeed, no other woman compared to her. "It's spiked? What did you put inside it?" Hera was shocked. Abel smiled mockingly when he saw the change in her expression. "Don't worry, you'll be fine." Hera breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. She leaned on his chest again and looked up at his sculpted chin. "Where
