The axeman's behavior swiftly caught the attention of the media and the police, who rushed to the scene.At the scene, the police tried negotiating with him through a loudspeaker, persuading him to release the hostages. They tried convincing him to turn over a new leaf. However, the axeman didn't open the door—he continued to imprison Lucy and Kate in the small pantry in the coffee shop.The lights in the pantry were turned off, and it was dark around them. The airtight environment made it hard to breathe.Lucy and Kate's hands and feet were tied with ropes. Kate's neck was bleeding, and she was about to pass out from the claustrophobic space.Lucy heard the police from the outside. "Listen to me, whoever you are. Please release the hostages. As long as the hostages are safe, we can discuss any terms you want…""Get Tobias Ripley here! I want to speak to him! Otherwise, I will kill them!"Tobias?Lucy's heart dropped. Initially, she thought she had been overthinking it. To her

Everyone present had been riled up at first. Only God knew where Tobias got such authority from, but his statement instantly silenced everyone.Simon was unafraid of him and shouted, "Okay, I'll let you talk. You should come clean to everyone and explain how you forced the demolition and penny-pinched our compensation for the demolition!"Tobias scoffed at his statement. His smile slowly turned grim, as if he were covered in a layer of frost, giving off a cold and ruthless air.Simon was so terrified by Tobias' demeanor that he staggered backward. But since he hadn't gotten what he wanted, he continued to shriek, "What are you smiling at? The police and media are here. Let's see how long you can stay arrogant. "Are you scared? If you are, pay me the compensation for the demolition right now! If I don't receive eight million dollars, you can kiss demolishing my house goodbye!"Tobias quirked his eyebrow disapprovingly. "Who are you to negotiate terms with me?""Y-You…" Simon wa

At a corner, Rhett's wrist was bleeding when he had grazed it during his fall. He didn't care about his bleeding wrist and rushed to them, asking, "My dearest sister, are you okay?"Tobias held Lucy up. He heard how Rhett addressed her and glanced at him. Then, he retracted his gaze and looked at Lucy again.During that dangerous moment, Tobias hadn't been able to push Lucy away in time, so he could only hug her in his arms. Even if Simon's blade came at them, it would only hurt him!However, he had never expected an accident to happen—Simon's blade had grazed Lucy's and Kate's arms."Shit, you got hurt in the end!" He had risked his life to save Lucy. He felt guilty and blamed himself as he saw that she was hurt."It's okay, Tobias." Lucy noticed the blood on his arm, making her heart ache terribly. She asked in shock, "Darling, why are you bleeding?"Then, Tobias realized that his hand had started bleeding without him noticing. However, it didn't hurt much, so he said nonchalan

As Joey walked toward the laboratory, her phone rang. "Madam Joey, something terrible has happened. Ms. Hudson fainted.""What?" Rather than worry and concern, a glint flickered in her eyes. She asked, "Why did she faint? Has she gone to get herself checked?""We've brought her to Central Hospital. The doctors are checking on her as we speak."Coincidentally, Joey was in Central Hospital. "Give me her room number. Please take extra good care of her. She might be pregnant!""Okay."After ending the call, Joey glanced at the laboratory and decided to look.The doctor in the laboratory went to test the blood samples. When Joey quietly entered, she overheard a conversation between two doctors."This is weird. Mr. Ripley and Mr. Rhett decided to run a DNA test with Ms. Everhart. Did they plan this? Why would they secretly run separate tests instead of doing it together?""I have no idea!"The news struck Joey like a roaring thunder. Back then, she had meddled in Lucy's DNA test wit

The person who spoke was Mabel Robertson, the second daughter of the Robertson family, the charity event's organizer and tonight's host.The Robertsons and the Ripleys had encountered each other multiple times in business. Tobias and Mabel had met each other before. But being the aloof man he was, he had always been so occupied with work that he hadn't noticed Mabel much. He couldn't remember who she was. "Mr. and Mrs. Ripley, you are a match made in heaven. You make everyone envious!" Mabel appeared friendly as she spoke with a saccharine smile plastered on her face.She looked at Tobias with a glint of adoration, but a glint of jealousy was hidden in her eyes when she looked at Lucy. Tobias frowned at the woman standing in their way. Unamused, he said, "You're in our way. Are you trying not to let us in?""Why would I?" Mabel realized she was being rude and quickly stepped away, saying, "I'm sorry for being rude. Please, after you."Mabel smiled at Lucy, who returned a smil
