Chapter 21 Queenie Released

Hogs took a deep breath and simpered like a sycophant as he approached Ferguson. "I'm Hogs, the head of this family. And you are…""Ferguson Laws. A steward of Empire Corp's CEO, nothing more," Ferguson replied.Even though he knew this, Hogs was still surprised this man really was working for Empire Corp. "Mr. Laws, I apologize for this less-than-acceptable welcome. Please, come in. We'll need to throw a warm reception. We're the hosts, after all," said Hogs unctuously.Ferguson waved him down. "Spare me the pleasantries. I came here for one reason. My employer is seeking a certain person."He was looking for someone?Hogs and George were left wondering. The Sanders family was just a third-rate family in this city. Compared to Empire Corp, they were nothing, and yet now Empire Corp wanted to seek someone from within their abode.A confused Hogs asked, "And who might that be, Mr. Laws?""Queenie Sanders."The Sanderses were stupefied, including George.Curious, Hogs asked, "Why are you

Chapter 22 A Trump Card

Ferguson smiled. "Hello, Ms. Sanders. Mr. Weeks sent me here.""Mr. Weeks? Who's that?" Queenie asked curiously."His full name is Alexander Weeks."Hogs and George almost fell to the ground. The richest man of Riverton really did have business with them.Queenie, however, muttered, "Sorry, but I don't know that guy."Hogs and George felt their legs getting weak again."It's very normal for that to happen, but he did tell me you are his VIP from today onward. Should you run into any trouble, do please tell us. Say the word, and our company can deal with all your problems. That's the promise my employer made. Problems like… imprisonment."The Sanders family looked tense immediately. They couldn't believe Alexander wanted to get to know Queenie and stand up for her. This was not what they expected.Queenie was stunned as well. She had no idea what Empire Corp or who Alexander Weeks was, but she was getting some ideas after she heard Ferguson speak. "I have no idea who your boss i

Chapter 23 Queenie Is Back

Right after Queenie left, Hogs' screams of rage could be heard coming from his study. "That damned brat! She thinks she owns the family just because she knows Alexander? Damn her!"Sounds of things being smashed came from the study next. Hogs was furious this time."Calm down, Dad. This is just her final struggle. Once she marries Silas, the family will be fully under our control," Jezebiah said.Hogs held his fury back. A while later, he said, "You're right, but something feels off. How did she manage to get in touch with someone like Alexander?""I think it's probably Silas," Jezebiah said."Silas?""Yeah. Think about it, Dad. Aside from Centersea, who else has the privilege of getting in touch with Empire Corp?"Hogs thought that was a good point. "Let's say that Silas was behind this. Why isn't he letting us keep the girl locked up then?" That was something Hogs couldn't understand.Jezebiah rubbed his chin. "Maybe he really likes her and didn't want us to punish her."Hog

Chapter 24 The Innocent Queenie

Queenie thought an amnesiac staying in an unfamiliar place alone would end up in chaos. Nox could've run around aimlessly, but he stayed at the mansion, much to her surprise.Nox looked at Queenie and smiled. "I didn't run. I was waiting for you.""Not bad. You're smart for waiting. If you had run off, I wouldn't have tried to find you or anything." Queenie put her bag down. "Hello, Blackshark. Miss me?"Queenie ran to her mastiff and patted his head. The mastiff nudged toward Nox."Thank you, Nono." Queenie got up."What did you just call me?" Nox was flabbergasted."Nono. Because you're Nox, aren't you?" Queenie asked.Nox was speechless. He was the god of war of Faeast, and yet this girl just gave him a ridiculous nickname."Thanks for saving me and teaching that bastard a lesson," Queenie said.Nox didn't really mind what Queenie called him. He smiled. "No problem."Worried, Queenie muttered, "But that bastard's one heck of a petty a-hole. I wouldn't put anything past him

Chapter 25 Queenie Is Confident

Queenie obviously didn't see that smile and continued talking. "Have you heard of Empire Corp? It's owned by Riverton's richest man, Alexander Weeks. He's a multibillionaire. I never thought the day would come when I would have connections with Empire Corp's CEO. He claims he knows me though, and says he could deal with all my problems."She ended with a question. "Don't you think that's weird, Nono?"Nox smiled. "Not exactly.""Not exactly? Do the words 'richest man in Riverton' and 'multibillionaire' mean nothing to you?" Queenie pointed at her mansion. "See this place? If Alexander's wealth gets turned into money, it can fill this whole place up and then some. Do you get it now?"Nox smiled, but he didn't tell Queenie the truth."Forget it. Not like you'll understand anyway. You lost all your memories." Queenie didn't want to waste time explaining. The amnesiac mechanic couldn't possibly understand how much money billions was."Still, it's a happy day for me. I finally got to

Chapter 26 A Brilliant Plan

Queenie continued her explanation.Nox said, "But no one in Empire Corp said anything about taking a liking to you."Queenie smiled cunningly. "Oh no, you don't know the half of it. It doesn't matter who took a liking to me. What matters is they came to me. I have no idea why, but neither does my family.""Huh? What are you getting at?"Queenie chuckled mischievously. "Simple. I just need to get a random guy and say he's Alexander's son or relative."Nox thought, 'Wait, you're going to find an impostor and put on an act?' He was speechless."Yeah. Think about it. My family's as confused as I am. No one knows why Empire Corp sought me out, not even my scumbag of an uncle. If I tell them Empire Corp's heir took a liking to me, they would have to take my word for it," Queenie said, intelligence twinkling in her eyes.Nox smiled dryly. He thought, 'She is going the extra mile just to get away from Silas. Even came up with an elaborate plan of getting a fake heir to act things out, b

Chapter 27 The Shopping Trip

Nox thought, 'What? She wants me to be Alex's godson?' He almost exploded in awkwardness. "I don't think that's a good idea," he said."Why not? You're tall and handsome, and you have the perfect air. No one's better for the role than you." Queenie tugged on Nox. "Please, Nono, please? I fished you out of the sea, after all. At least repay my kindness, won't you? Please."Nox watched the pleading Queenie and felt speechless. In his mind, he thought, 'She wants me to pretend I'm Alexander's godson? Dear God. Even if I take the challenge, Alexander won't accept it because it would be too much of an honor for him.'Queenie was still pleading. "Nono, please. Just help me."Seeing Queenie like this, Nox smiled bitterly. "Fine. I'll do this just once. Because you saved me.""Really?""Yes, but just once."Queenie leaped in joy. "Thank you, Nono! You're my savior!" She hugged him tightly.She had a voluptuous body, and Nox could feel her chest against his. It was big.Queenie didn't

Chapter 28 Queenie's Play

Yet another thing he had to learn was how to act haughty like a bona fide scion. "Listen up, Nono. You're the godson of Riverton's richest man, so you don't have to care what anyone thinks about you. You have to present yourself as a gentleman and as someone with culture. But most importantly, as someone with money."Hearing that, Nox wanted to curse. He used to be the commander of two million soldiers, but now a girl was teaching him how to present himself as someone with culture and money, too!More than two agonizing hours later, Queenie's throat was getting sore. "Did you understand everything I just said?"Nox nodded with a smile."Good. I'm taking you home now." Queenie picked up her bag."Now? I think it's a bit too soon," Nox said."Too soon? I'm getting married to Silas in two days." She yanked Nox away and took him back home. On the way back, she kept telling him to keep up a perfect act. Failure was not acceptable."And talk less. I'll speak up in your place. This is

Chapter 29 The Act Begins

In the great hall of the Sanders Residence stood Nox and Queenie. Nox was in an expensive suit, looking like the scion of a big family. Queenie was breathing nervously. She kept telling herself to calm down, while Nox looked at ease."Remember, you're the godson of Alexander, Nono. Don't get spooked. Don't let them expose you."Nox smiled. He wouldn't be spooked by something of this level. It was juvenile.Footsteps approached them. Queenie knew it was her parents coming. She slowly turned around and met her angry parents' gaze. Quickly, she said, "Hey, Dad. Hey, Mom."George ignored his daughter. Instead, he looked at Nox sharply. "Who is he?" He didn't recognize the transformed Nox at first."He's the one who's been with me all this time, Dad."George finally recognized Nox. "You? I recognize you! Who let you bring him back? Have you no shame, Queenie? You're bringing your lover back to our home? One of these days, you'll be the death of me and your mother!" He flew into a rage

Chapter 30 The Act Goes On

"Don't underestimate my boyfriend, Dad. Do you know why Empire Corp sent its head steward to our house this morning?"George felt something getting stuck in his throat, but he said, "What do you mean?"Queenie answered, "Isn't it obvious? Dad, Mom, to tell you the truth, my boyfriend is Alexander's godson. His name is Nox Greenshade."The news was like a bombshell. George and Yvette were petrified. They couldn't believe Nox was Alexander's godson.When they looked at him once more, Yvette and George didn't know what to say.Nox finally spoke up. "Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Sanders."George remained stunned for nearly twenty seconds while staring at Nox with widened eyes. "A-Are you really Alexander's godson? The godson of the richest man in Riverton?"Nox nodded with a smile. At the same time, far, far away in the resplendent halls of Watercloud Villa, Alexander sneezed. This was not the kind of honor he could take without suffering any repercussions.George couldn't believe his eyes, and Yvett
