Chapter 1221
Author: Marina Vittori
At the break of dawn, in a luxurious mansion somewhere. Natasha, who was sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes when she heard something moving.

She got up, walked to the window, and opened a slit between the curtains. Under the hazy moonlight, she was shocked to see the bodyguards on night duty lying on the ground.

"Hmm?" Natasha furrowed her brow.

She quickly took out a pistol from a drawer in her headboard. Opening the door gently, she carefully observed her surroundings before going into the room next door.

"Ruth …" Natasha patted her sister, who was still asleep.

When Ruth woke up, Natasha covered her mouth and signaled her to keep quiet. "Don't make any noise. There's an intruder."

"Intruder?"

Ruth rubbed her sleepy eyes and mumbled, "Natasha, are you dreaming? Our house is surrounded by exceptionally skilled bodyguards day and night. Who would risk their lives?"

"They have been defeated. It's very dangerous now. Come with me now!" Natasha said with a serious expression.

    The woman glanced at Snowy, and the fox immediately strutted over and affectionately rubbed against her hand. A trace of warmth flickered in her eyes, but it vanished as quickly as it appeared, replaced by her usual cool composure."Thank you," she said. "Once I've recovered, I'll leave and won't trouble you anymore.""No worry," Dustin replied. "Just focus on your recovery. By the way, may I know your name?"She was silent for a moment before answering softly, "Blanche Frost."Over the next few days, Blanche stayed at the villa to recover. She spoke very little and spent most of her time meditating to restore her strength. Occasionally, she would stand by the window, gazing toward the distant mountains, lost in thought.Dustin soon noticed something unusual. Her recovery speed was astonishing. Injuries that would have left an ordinary person bedridden for months had healed to the point of near recovery in just a few days.One afternoon, he was trimming plants in the courtyard wh

    Dustin didn't step closer. He remained at the doorway and spoke gently. "It's okay. I won't hurt you. If you're hungry, you can come eat anytime."The white fox's amber eyes glimmered in the dim light. They stayed locked on him, sharp and wary.He stepped back and grabbed more food from the fridge. Then, he placed a few slices of ham and a small bowl of milk in the corner of the kitchen. He returned to the living room with a book and pretended to read while watching the kitchen from the corner of his eye.Half an hour passed before the fox finally limped out from the storage room. It scanned the area carefully. Only after confirming that Dustin posed no threat did it dart forward to grab the food, then hurry back to its hiding spot.Over the next few days, Dustin left food in the kitchen corner every day. Sometimes it was sliced fruit, and other times, cooked chicken or pet treats he'd bought at the store.The fox came at irregular times, appearing at dawn on some days and late

    Evander smiled faintly, unbothered by Elowen's indifference, and followed after her.Just as he was about to turn away, something seemed to catch his attention. His head shifted ever so slightly toward where Dustin stood.Dustin's heart stirred, but his expression remained unchanged. He kept the same calm demeanor, his gaze sweeping casually over the chaotic scene before resting on the lake's shimmering surface. It was as if he were just another bystander drawn by the commotion.Evander's gaze lingered on him for less than half a second. He saw an ordinary-looking young man in plain clothes with an unremarkable presence, standing by the lake watching the scene unfold. To him, Dustin just looked like other curious onlookers nearby.The corner of Evander's mouth curled upward almost imperceptibly, forming an ambiguous smile. In that expression lay indifference, superiority, and perhaps a trace of contempt for ordinary people. It was something even he might not have been aware of.Wi

    Elowen's smile disappeared in an instant. The playful warmth in her expression turned ice-cold as she slowly raised her head to look at the couple. Her gaze was icy, as though she were staring at lifeless objects.The air seemed to freeze around them.The moment her eyes shifted with intent, Evander's hand came to rest gently on her shoulder, stopping her before she could act.He stepped forward, positioning himself between his sister and the couple. His expression softened into a warm, apologetic smile as he nodded at them."I'm so sorry. My sister wasn't paying attention to where she was going. We apologize for startling you."His tone was sincere and humble as he tried to defuse the situation.The young man's irritation eased slightly when he saw the genuine apology, particularly after noticing Evander's polished demeanor. Still, he couldn't resist saying, "Just pay attention next time. What's with the outfits anyway? You guys filming something?"His girlfriend gave a dismi

    Over the next few days, the crisis at Dash Corporation showed no signs of resolving, despite Dahlia's attempts to clear things up.Natasha had paused her direct attacks, but the market pressure hadn't lifted. Most of the clients and suppliers who'd been swayed remained hesitant to return. It was as if someone were quietly steering events from behind the scenes.She even mobilized the Ballard family's full resources and launched a counter-investigation. Natasha didn't believe in flawless conspiracies. If someone had impersonated the Moseys, they would have left traces behind.At the same time, she also started sharing information with Dahlia more regularly. Though tension still existed between them, this uneasy alliance seemed necessary when facing an enemy hidden in the shadows.As for Dustin, he'd begun living a relatively quiet life under Natasha's insistence. Without his power, he now experienced the vulnerability and limits of mortality in ways he never had before. But from a

    Within an elegantly appointed study at the Mosey mansion, Seamus, the prince of a different lineage, was personally pouring drinks for two young visitors.The atmosphere was markedly different from the rest of the mansion. The usual imposing grandeur was absent, replaced by the cautious courtesy reserved for those of superior status.Evander Quinton remained impassive, offering only a slight nod in response to Seamus' attentiveness.Elowen Quinton lifted her cup and inhaled the aroma of the tea. She held herself gracefully, yet there was an unmistakable distance in her posture."This tea is excellent," she remarked after a sip, sounding genuinely pleased."These leaves are spiritual tea from the Appalchi Highlands, a most rare vintage," Seamus replied with a smile. "Should it be to your liking, I will have a selection prepared for you at once.""No need for such formalities, Sir Mosey." Evander set down his cup and got straight to the point. "We don't have much time. Have you giv
