Chapter 340 I acknowledged the message and turned the car around to see the imprisoned Richard and Lily. Unlike last time, the guards were all Helen’s people, which meant Max had quite a few agents positioned here. Halfway there, I once again heard Lily’s laughter. “You cleared every obstacle for

Chapter 339 I felt gratitude for Richard, but also hatred. Ultimately, it was because I wasn’t strong enough. “Have you decided? Then I’ll go arrest him and put him under house arrest with Lily p> Helen was eager to get started. As long as I wasn’t marrying Richard, she would

Chapter 338 “I’m finally trying to make an effort. Are you saying you don’t want me to?” I deliberately softened my tone. He seemed to let out a breath. “Did you go see Lily just now?” Richard had found out. He asked me directly. “Yes, I went over, but I

Chapter 337 Every word from Richard was a sharp, polished dagger, but I could no longer process them. “Regret? You, Richard, a man whose entire life is a calculation, you have regrets? I should applaud you. If it weren’t for me, you would have died in that plane explosion! I

Chapter 336 I had never seen Richard hit anyone, but today he slapped Lily with such force that five distinct fingerprints instantly appeared on her fair, delicate skin. Blood began to seep from the corner of her mouth. Some secrets were meant to be taken to the grave. I handed

Chapter 335 I held out my hand as if I were a patient. As she prepared to check my pulse, I noticed how different my hand was from those of the people in the slums. Their skin was dark and weathered; mine was pale. She instantly looked up. When she

Chapter 334 Richard’s eyes shifted slightly, and he let out a long sigh. “Don’t overthink it. I think Max will handle things p> I gave a bitter smile. “I guess blocking me is his way of ‘handling things p> As I spoke, I muttered to myself. If he’s going to

Chapter 333 Richard frowned slightly, but in the end, he just smiled and shook his head. “If this will make you a little happier, then I’ll take you p> I got up and looked out the window. It was already daytime the next day. Better to take action than to

Chapter 332 I panicked. There was a woman with Max I didn’t know. Standing in front of the wall of jewelry cabinets Richard had prepared for me, I felt nothing. It was as if my world was crumbling piece by piece, and the image I held of him in my

Chapter 331 “Is what they said true p> “You don’t need to listen to them too much. You’ve been traveling for two days. I’ll take you to your room to rest. The butterfly-themed jewelry you liked at the auction —I had it all placed in your jewelry cabinet. Go see

Chapter 330 I didn’t cry. The wind was biting, and Richard and I had more than one battle ahead of us. “Richard, I’m so glad you’re okay,” I said, linking my arm with his and resting my head on his shoulder. “How did Lily escape?” Knowing Richard’s personality, he valued

Chapter 329 “Now what p> “What else? We pretend we’re a fishing couple out on the water. Those are just ordinary maritime patrol boats, neutral. But we need to figure out who tipped them off to come check on us p> Just then, someone who looked like a maritime police

Chapter 328 Garrett had chosen to transport the goods by sea, which would allow them to remain hidden and avoid any conflict with Babur’s high-profile convoy. According to Max’s plan, Babur was a diversion, sent ahead to Bravenland with supplies to draw attention. The truly useful weapons were all on

Chapter 327 Max had appeared by my side without me noticing. “What did he say to make you so flustered p> I grabbed his hand. “He said he’ll come back alive. Where are you sending him p> I wanted to see what excuse he’d use to brush me off. He

Chapter 326 As I sat down, Babur was the first to speak. “Bravenland is in turmoil right now. Who can guarantee that Lily won’t make a comeback? We received news this morning that she escaped. That newcomer, Richard, has only been established in Bravenland for a short time. There’s no

Chapter 325 But where Max’s brow conveyed decisiveness and strength, Garrett’s held a more subtle, internal darkness. “Garrett is not fit to bear the weight of the nation! We implore you, my lord, to reconsider p> “My lord, for years you have managed our country so well. Our economy is

Chapter 324 Max thought for a moment before replying, “As you wish p> I knew he wasn’t happy about it, but he would always stand behind me, ready to catch any ball I threw his way. I slept soundly through the night. When I woke up, I heard Garrett arguing

Chapter 323 Max’s voice was cold, his hands clasped behind his back. He let out a slight huff. “To think he dared to climb into my bed that day to seduce you p> I was confused for a second. He couldn’t possibly mean that time Garrett drugged himself and I

Chapter 322 Garrett seemed to notice I was watching him. He started walking toward me, but the closer he got, the more his guilt showed. He abruptly changed direction and went to greet someone else. It only confirmed my suspicions. He wasn’t Max. As for Max, he must have gone
