Matthew fell silent.“Since you don’t have any solutions, you might as well listen to my suggestion.”Cillian took the opportunity to offer him his advice. Matthew looked at Cillian with suspicion and doubt. He wondered what an ordinary college student like Cillian could possibly come up with when even he could not come up with a solution.From his gaze, Cillian knew what he was thinking, so he glanced back at him indifferently. “My last name is Sullivan.”That sentence triggered something in Matthew’s mind. If his last name was Sullivan and he claimed to have a solution to this matter… Matthew instantly thought of a prominent political family.Most of the Sullivan family members were prominent politicians, each holding high government positions all across the country. They were known for their integrity and uprightness. They could be considered the backbone of the nation. Without them, the nation would undoubtedly suffer a huge blow.Matthew was taken aback. He never thought t
"It’s exactly because my wife has studied there that we can’t send her there. There might be people in New York who would recognize her. If that happens, all our efforts will be in vain.”Cillian retorted, rolling his eyes. “So, what you’re saying is that our efforts won’t be in vain if we send her to Charleston?”That was exactly what Matthew meant. Charleston had strict border control, so very few people could enter the country. Lucy had never been there before either, so it was unlikely that anyone would recognize her there.However, a problem arose. “She’s unfamiliar with both the people and the place. Without anyone to take care of her, won't it be dangerous for her to be alone?”Matthew looked at Cillian as if he were an idiot. “You seemed pretty smart just now. How did you turn into an idiot all of a sudden? Leon Corporation is the top global enterprise, and I have businesses in every country. I can ensure my wife’s safety in Charleston.”Cillian fell silent. In that case,
In the faraway royal palace of Charleston, the family was having their long-awaited annual gathering. Everyone at the table was having a good time.However, something was not quite right. Sitting at the head of the table, the queen was robotically cutting her steak and absentmindedly stuffing it into her mouth. Her gaze was unfocused as she was lost in thought.The king noticed that the queen was distracted, so he asked with concern, “My dear, what’s wrong? You seem preoccupied today.”The queen snapped out of her reverie and smiled at her husband. She shook her head and said, “Nothing’s wrong, my dear. I was just informed a moment ago that our precious little princess has been found. I believe that she’ll be brought back very soon.”She lowered her head, her eyes filled with infinite anticipation. “I wonder what kind of personality our little princess has. Will she be as adorable as Charlotte? Just thinking about it makes me so excited.”The king shook his head helplessly and loo
Prince Theodore, who was also sitting at the dinner table, overheard the conversation between Juliana and Charlotte. He was filled with immense joy.He had an outgoing and gentle nature. The thought of having a new little sister warmed his heart. While the Charleston royal family tended to be quite reserved toward outsiders, family members were an exception.At that moment, the butler hastily entered the room with a panicked expression and rushed to King Arthur's side, neglecting the usual formalities.Arthur frowned in annoyance, staring at the butler disapprovingly. “Wells, what’s the matter with you? You’ve been with me for over a decade, yet you forget even the most basic courtesy?”Wells bowed his head in shame, apologizing to Arthur. “I’m terribly sorry, Your Majesty. It wasn’t intentional, but I have an extremely urgent matter I must report to you.”Surprised by the butler’s uncharacteristic urgency, Arthur grew curious. He told Wells, “What could be this urgent? Slow down.
Lucy was sleeping soundly in the ward until the sound of the door opening startled her awake. Usually, such a slight noise would not disturb her, but it was probably due to her feeling uneasy.As soon as she heard the familiar voices, her eyes were wide open. She found it strange that she could not fall back asleep after waking up. Closing her eyes did not help either, so she decided to sit up.Cillian and Matthew did not notice Lucy at first. They assumed that she was still sleeping until they saw her sitting up, wide awake. Matthew looked at her with concern, “Wifey, why don’t you sleep a little longer? Did we wake you up by opening the door?”Listening to how Matthew called her 'wifey', Lucy blushed in embarrassment. She shook her head and said, “No, it’s not that. The door wasn’t that loud.“By the way, have you two finished your discussion?”Before Matthew could respond, Lucy interrupted him by asking him a question first. To be frank, she did not have any memories with Matth
Matthew understood his wife’s microexpressions very well. He looked at her apologetically and said, “I’m sorry, but based on the information we’ve gathered so far, there’s a high chance that you were targeted because of me.”Bewildered, Lucy blinked her eyes and asked, “Why?”Matthew sighed. It seemed like his wife had completely forgotten about him and who he was.After a brief pause, he decided to properly introduce himself to her so that his wife would at least know something about her husband.He gazed earnestly into her eyes and said, “Lulu, I’m Matthew Leon, the CEO of Leon Corporation. I'm the number one businessman in the world.“It might be due to business reasons. My business rivals might have regarded you as a vulnerability.”Matthew frowned. He was still unsure about this conclusion, but it was the best explanation he could come up with for now.Meanwhile, Lucy was shocked to learn about Matthew's identity.How could she have married such a powerful man? The fact th
Although one of them had lost their memory, Lucy and Matthew were still able to interact with each other without any sense of unfamiliarity.Oh wait, was someone being forgotten? Oh, Cillian?As soon as he saw Lucy and Matthew talking, he left the ward expressionlessly. Of course, he was not going to stand there and watch the woman he loved getting intimate with another man. He would go insane from the jealousy, so before he lost control of his emotions, he had better leave.Outside the ward, Cillian leaned his head against the door in his thin clothes. The ward was well-soundproofed, so he could not hear what was going on inside, but he still felt a bit lonely.A nurse passed by the ward and noticed Cillian sitting by the door, so she grew concerned. “Mr. Sullivan, why are you sitting here with so little clothing when you just came out of surgery? What if you get sick? You’ll suffer even more then. Here, let me push you in.”Cillian snapped out of it and gently smiled at the nu
Even so, what did it matter? It was not like he could achieve anything by being restless. If he wanted to put the blame on someone, he should blame the person who paid to assassinate his wife.A trace of coldness flashes in Matthew’s eyes. He did not even say goodbye to Lucy before he left the hospital and drove to his company.By the time he arrived, he had already started acting. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face and lips were drained of all color. At the same time, he was emanating an aura that was never before associated with Matthew—desolation.The receptionist was startled to see Matthew in such a state. She cautiously greeted him, “Good morning, Mr. Leon.”Matthew did not even spare a glance at her before taking the elevator to his office.Not long after, news spread throughout the top floor that an emergency meeting would be held shortly. All the shareholders hurriedly made their way there.Half an hour later, they were all assembled in the conference room. Each of th
