The night passed in silence.The shocking scene on Heavensgate Hill attracted the attention of the entire city.Many women who were filled with envy stayed up all night.As the morning sun rose, Austin had already finished his grueling training and returned home with Aldus, just in time to find Ezra watching the morning news."Sir, they're broadcasting what happened last night," Ezra informed enthusiastically. Austin shrugged as he replied, "They probably won't show much. There's nothing worth seeing."Ezra chuckled and picked up his phone."The media may not have much to show, but these anchors can certainly come up with something," he hummed.Hearing that, Austin got closer to him to take a look, only to burst into laughter."Shocking News! Heavensgate Hill's Overnight Scandal: Mysterious Protagonist Sparks Speculations!"While what happened on Heavensgate Hill was true, the subsequent reports about Austin, the party involved, were entirely fabricated.Some even indulged

Boom!Edward and Rachel felt as if they had been struck by lightning.Being part of a prestigious family, they understood the importance of legitimacy within the upper echelons of society.For the Campbells who wielded immense wealth and power, legitimacy was even more paramount.In essence, an illegitimate child not acknowledged by the family was a hopeless person who only bore the family name in vain.They wouldn't even be considered one of the Campbells.Timothy clearly noticed the shock on Edward and Rachel's faces. However, their reaction was within his expectations. He knew what Edward was after. That was why it felt like a given for him to see such expressions from Edward and Rachel after he revealed Austin's true identity.It was as if he had extinguished the flames of hope that had just been ignited in Edward's heart.Timothy paused for a moment before continuing, "However, despite being an illegitimate child, Austin is different from ordinary bastards. His father is

After Timothy left, Edward sat on the chair.Edward's conflicted expression showed signs of exhaustion after a night of excitement.The weariness that followed the night of jubilation was now fully evident, especially after Timothy's revelations.Seeing this, Rachel comforted him. "It's okay. Timothy just told us the truth. Even if Austin isn't a Campbell heir, he is still our son-in-law. All that matters is that our daughter likes him.""Yeah, I know that." Edward stretched lazily. "Timothy told us the truth to prevent me from charging into trouble. Now that we know the truth, let's just take the gamble. Since our son-in-law is one of the Campbell heirs, there's still hope. He'll have to compete with the other Campbell elites to find out whether he's a dragon or a worm."Click!The sound of the door opening interrupted their conversation.Cecily walked out of the bedroom then. She had been awake, but Timothy's arrival had prompted her to stay in the bedroom a little longer.Sh

"Um…" Aldus was taken aback.Ezra stated in a solemn voice, "If anyone poses a threat to the madam, you have my permission to act first and report later."Aldus' expression stiffened as he nodded and left the room.Raquel also wore a worried expression."Ezra, nothing bad will happen, right?""It'll be fine." Ezra shook his head, smiling. "I'm just worried that the madam might be bitten by some 'strays.' Madam is kind-hearted. She won't stoop to having petty fights with just anyone. We can only get Aldus to protect her from behind."Though Ezra was smiling, his eyes were sharp enough to make Raquel feel a shiver run down her spine.Heavensgate Residence was still brightly lit under the night sky.After hurriedly leaving the house, Dahlia walked briskly toward the gate, showing no sign of taking a leisurely stroll.Aldus, too, left the house and quietly followed her.As a former mercenary, tracking a target was one of the essential skills on the battlefield.Moreover, Dahlia

Bang!The two cars collided.The hood of the car driven by Aldus flipped up, and all the airbags were deployed.Smoke billowed from the scene.Dahlia was so stunned that her face turned pale.Immediately after, Aldus angrily kicked open the car door and strode toward the Maybach.Ezra had instructed him to follow and protect Dahlia. Now that Dahlia had been slapped, what kind of "following" and "protecting" would this be if Aldus hadn't acted?"Aldus?" Dahlia exclaimed. Seeing Aldus heading toward the Maybach, she immediately understood what had caused the collision.She hurried over while shouting, "Aldus! Stop it!"However, Aldus ignored her. He wrenched open the car door.With a swift motion, he dragged the person from the back seat out of the car."W-What are you doing?"In the glow of the headlights, the person dragged out was none other than an elderly man with white hair. His face was lined with wrinkles, but he was dressed in a sharp suit.Coughing violently, he lo

Dahlia was Austin's mother. If she were to endure the humiliation of being slapped, then what was Aldus doing by Austin's side?"But…" Dahlia's face was twisted, her heart uneasy.She hadn't expected Aldus to follow her, but she knew that this must have been arranged by Ezra.To make things worse, Aldus had to encounter such a situation even when this was the first time he followed her!"Young man, do you really think you can act recklessly because you believe that Austin can save you from the consequences?"The white-haired old man was now so furious that his eyes were round and wide open.Let alone being slapped, someone of his position would never even be reprimanded to his face.Despite his words, Aldus stepped forward, his towering figure exerting immense pressure on the white-haired old man.Aldus snickered. "If my boss were here and saw you slap his mother, you would at least lose a limb like your driver over there."With that, he pointed to the driver with the broken a

Swoosh!The strong wind blew Itijah's white beard and hair.Aldus's right leg paused next to Itijah and slowly stepped back to the ground."Are you Madam Emerson's father?" Aldus turned to look at Dahlia with a face full of astonishment and disbelief.Dahlia felt both anger and compassion. Tears were welling up in her reddened eyes.Eventually, she nodded to Aldus.Aldus stood dumbfounded. He looked between Dahlia and Itijah with a complicated look on his face.He was somewhat bewildered at the moment.Dahlia, on the other hand, walked slowly toward Itijah. Suddenly, she looked stern.She spoke coldly. "I hope what you just said was out of anger and that you did not mean it. Otherwise, if I couldn't save you from Aldus's foot, I would make you pay again!"Her icy demeanor was like a chilling wind from the depths of Tartarus.Itijah trembled with pain and remorse. "Is this how you speak to your father?"Dahlia straightened her back with a sprightly smile. She looked down o

Aldus stood to the side while frowning. One moment he was puzzled, the next he was deep in thought.He didn't know much about Dahlia's past.This was because Walter only took him under his wing after returning to the Campbells as the head of the family.Therefore, only Ezra was the true witness to Walter and Dahlia's past.A moment passed.Dahlia let out a sigh. "Forget it. Aldus' showing up tonight had made me draw the line. Perhaps things will end tonight. There won't be any more wind in the future.""You still don't want to tell Mr. Campbell about this?" Ezra raised his eyebrows."I'm going to rest."Dahlia got up and headed upstairs. She had answered Ezra's question.Ezra leaned back on the couch and smiled helplessly. He watched Dahlia go upstairs before whispering softly, "A man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. The greedy heart cannot be ended so easily with just these means. Otherwise, things wouldn't have happened back then.""Ezra,
