2024-10-29 19:42:56Jack approached the back fence and carefully positioned his ears to listen to the activities of the people behind the fence.
He knew it was a workday, so most likely everyone was at work.
But who knew if there was a maid or a child in one of those houses?
So he had to make sure that the house he was going to was really deserted, to avoid trouble later.
"I don't want to steal or cause any trouble! I just need a way to get to the Reynolds' house! So my actions should still be forgivable, right?" he exclaimed after finding a house where he was sure the occupants were not inside.
Then he backed up almost twenty meters, got into position, and prepared to run as fast as he could.
Jack then jumped to the fence and, with his body on it, crawled very quickly until he reached the top of the fence.
From there, he could see the backyard of this large house - a large swimming pool in the middle, a stone path surrounded by green grass and ornamental trees.
After a short observation, Jack was now convinced that the house was indeed empty.
He then landed on the ground very quietly, trying to make as little noise as possible.
Jack crossed the stone path and walked slowly along the edge of the pool.
But just as he took a few steps past the pool, his ears caught the sound of a woman's scream.
"Aaargh! Help me! There's a thief here!"
"Damn! I've been caught!" thought Jack.
He turned his body in the direction of the sound.
A woman in her early thirties with a seductive figure was staring at him anxiously.
Wearing an elegant black dress, she looked like a young executive in a large company.
"Miss, forgive me! My name is Jack, and I mean you no harm," he said, bowing his body.
At that moment, as the woman looked at him, her attitude slowly changed.
"Ah, this young man is very young and handsome! So my father is trying a different approach now? Unable to force me to marry those untrustworthy men, he's now sending a seemingly innocent young man? Huh, I won't be fooled by his tricks," she muttered.
The woman was Rebecca Calder, the daughter of Jeremy Calder, one of Rivertown's wealthiest businessmen.
Jeremy had tried repeatedly to persuade his only daughter to get married.
Not just with words.
The old man had even sent the wealthy young men he considered potential suitors for his daughter to meet the girl.
So far, however, she had not accepted any of her father's chosen suitors.
Frustrated, Rebecca left the Calder mansion to live in a quieter and more secluded area like this one.
Rebecca quickly approached Jack.
"Quick, tell me your purpose for coming to this house! If not, I will call the police to have you arrested," she said with a disturbed and slightly angry expression on her face.
However, judging by her body language, Jack seemed to know that she didn't really mean it.
Still, he couldn't just say that the real reason he broke into the house was just to pass through.
"She won't believe me if I say that, will she?" he thought.
After a quick thought, he made up a reason.
"Miss, I am looking for a girl! She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life! At first, I thought this was her house, but it turns out that I was wrong! I apologize for disturbing you!"
After saying it with as sincere and honest an expression as possible, Jack bowed again.
He hoped that the woman would believe him and let him go.
But when Jack looked at the woman, he saw something strange.
She was staring at him with a different look than before.
"Wow, this young man is very good at acting! He pretended to break into my house by accident and then made up an excuse for me to let him go!" the woman thought, trying to analyze the young man's plan in front of her.
"After that, he will keep coming to this house with excuses to apologize to me! That way, he can slowly get closer to me and find a thousand reasons to ask me out! What a clever way!" she thought as she continued to scrutinize Jack.
"Miss, can I go now? I really don't want to bother you and I'm very sorry for intruding!" Jack said again.
"Hmm, he seems different from the previous men! He sounds very romantic! Besides being handsome, he also seems smart enough to win a woman's heart! It seems that my father is almost winning by trying a different approach now!" the woman thought.
"All right! Enough of this nonsense! You must be my father's pawn, right? Come on, follow me now!" she said.
Jack was naturally surprised by this statement.
But without waiting for his answer, the woman pulled the young man's hand into her house.
Soon they arrived in a beautifully decorated living room filled with luxurious furniture.
"Wait here and never think of leaving this place!" Rebecca said, pushing Jack's body roughly onto a very comfortable long sofa. Meanwhile, she walked upstairs to the third floor in a rather hurried pace.
Jack didn't know what the beautiful woman had in mind.
What he was thinking right now was to find a reason to leave this house as soon as possible.
A few moments later, while his mind was busy thinking of excuses, a soft and melodious voice reached his ears.
"Jack, come here!"

This was indeed Rebecca's voice.But it sounded different than before.When Jack turned his head up, he saw that the woman had changed her clothes.Except for the towel that covered her chest to just below her hips, the girl had no other clothing on her body."What am I seeing here? Is she teasing me on purpose?"At that moment, Jack couldn't take his eyes off the girl.With such an appearance, Rebecca not only looked very beautiful, but she was also very tempting!Especially at her current age, she exuded a mature beauty that would be hard for any man to resist."Jack, come here!" Rebecca asked for the second time.She said this while placing one hand on the railing and leaning her face forward, showing off her sexy chest.She also moved the index finger of her left hand slowly and sensually in an inviting gesture."Come here! Don't make me wait!"Gulp!Jack swallowed his saliva.He was not used to situations like this.Although he was born into one of the wealthiest families in Rive

After Jack walked out the door, he took a few steps toward the gate. From a distance of thirty meters he could see that the gate was an automatic type that could only be opened and closed by remote control. He prepared to put his hands between the iron gates to climb over them. However, after his hands touched it, the door unexpectedly swung open slightly. "Strange! Why didn't she lock it? Is she really going to leave?" But since he had to get to the Reynolds' house as soon as possible, Jack didn't want to think about it. After closing the gate, he ran quickly to the address Matilda had given him. While running at a fast pace, Jack took a moment to observe the houses on both sides. Almost all he saw were luxurious two to three story houses with large yards. The sight reminded him of what Matilda had said earlier. "I know you've never been to Sunflower Residence before! But don't worry, everything will be fine! You'll get used to it slowly." Matilda said that so that Jack wou

The answer startled the young man in the car."Bastard!" he cursed. "What did you say? Just because you're in the military now, don't think you can intimidate me! You're a loser, then, now, and forever will be!"Jack furrowed his brow."Weird! Have I met him before? How can he be so rude to me?" he thought."Buddy, I've never had any problem with you before, so I ask you to watch your words! It's not good to say bad things to someone you don't know in front of them!" Jack replied, folding his arms across his chest, and stood casually staring at the young man in the car.Instead of cooling the atmosphere, his words only offended the young man in the car even more."Say one more word like that to me, and I'll break both your legs!" he yelled.Shortly after that, another car window opened.From behind the window, a girl's head popped out.The sunglasses she wore couldn't hide her beauty, almost on par with Lily's."Hey Jack, cut the crap! I know you still remember what happened last time

What?That statement not only surprised Jade and Lucas.Lily, who had been standing next to Jack, turned her face back towards him in surprise at what the young man said."Mrs. Reynolds ordered me to watch over Lily until she returns! She also didn't allow Lily to go anywhere without my supervision! So for now, I can't let her go anywhere!" Jack continued, maintaining a relaxed and calm expression on his face and saying those words effortlessly."These people hope they can take Lily out to play when Ines is not home! Huh, it's very clear that they are just a bunch of naughty people trying to take advantage of the situation!" thought Jack, unaware of the true identities of Lucas and Jade.He didn't know that if Ines were there, she wouldn't just allow her daughter to leave. She would even gladly open Lucas's car door.On the other hand, that response once again infuriated Lucas.Until now, no one had ever said no to him, especially not someone in a low position like Jack.Moreover, he

While Jade looked at Jack with immense hatred, Lily showed a different reaction."Forgive me, Jack! Because of me, you have a problem with Jade! I shouldn't have let you get involved in this mess!" she thought to herself."Jade, I'll go with you! Let's leave now!" Lily said.She then turned her head towards Jack. "It's okay, I'll just go for a moment!" she said, pulling her hand away from Jack's grasp."Lily, Mrs. Reynolds entrusted you to me, so I have to keep an eye on you! If you go, then I'll go with you!" Jack replied.This attitude somehow made Lily feel a number of emotions in her heart.On one hand, she was happy because she finally saw a friend who had been very closed off and timid all this time now become a man who was not only very handsome but also very brave.However, on the other hand, she didn't want Jack to get into serious trouble."If he keeps insisting like this, I'm afraid the situation will only get worse!" Lily thought to herself.She had known Jade's character

"Miss Calder, you need not worry! From now on, I will make sure that the young man will not be able to escape me," the security officer whispered to himself, promising himself.Somehow his intuition told him that the young thief would return to this residential complex."Perhaps I can recruit more security personnel in the next few days!” he continued. “I must not disappoint Miss Calder!"This time, he wouldn't let the young man escape. He had to catch him, no matter what!Meanwhile, after leaving the Sunflower Residence complex, Rebecca's heart became increasingly unsettled."Finton might seem hateful and angry towards Jack! He even seemed so eager to convince me that Jack is a thief! But why do I feel like he's just pretending?"The security officer, named Finton Terrell, was not an ordinary security guard.He was a professional athlete proficient in more than three types of martial arts with above-average abilities.With his skills, it's no wonder he could easily be recruited as on

"This is not a big deal!" Jack shook his head. "I just want to meet a girl!"The old man nodded several times."He seems to be in love, doesn't he?" he thought to himself. "Young man, I am sure whoever the girl is that has your attention, she is truly blessed! For not only are you very handsome, but you also have a very kind heart!""Young man, ..." The old man called Jack again, about to say something else.But Jack had already gone far."It's a pity I don't know his name yet!"Thirty minutes later.The car Jack was driving had taken him not far from the opera complex he was heading to.From a distance, he could see a large building with luxurious architecture and dominant white color.As Jack looked around the building, he could see various types of flowers there.Almost all around the building was filled with flowers, except for the part covered with stone floors intended for pedestrians.Beside this building, about three hundred meters to the right, there was a very large courtyar

What?The big man fell silent, staring incredulously at the black and thin object in Jack's hand."This time I'll let you off!" said Jack. "But next time, if you dare to behave disrespectfully towards me again, I won't show you any mercy!"Jack uttered those words, pretending to put on a cruel expression on his face.The big man just stood there with his mouth open, unable to speak."T-that..." he muttered, unable to continue his sentence.Jack then put the black letter back into his pocket and hastily left the parking lot."Hahaha! This is really hilarious!" Jack chuckled inwardly. "As I suspected, the security guard has no idea what the special invitation letter looks like!That is why he mistook the old man's letter for the actual special invitation!Hopefully, he won't notice that I tricked him!

Maartje stayed in a different room from the one she usually used before.This time, she was assigned one of the rooms on the third floor whose decoration and furniture had been completely changed. Not only wider than the room she used to occupy on the first floor, this room also looked more luxurious.The girl was sitting on the edge of the bed typing a message on a highly secure phone."I haven't seen my parents yet. Can you do something?"Shortly after, a reply landed on her phone."We're working on it, Lady! We'll check all satellite images and CCTV cameras."Maartje was almost certain that her parents had been moved from the palace. "I've checked every corner of this palace, but they're nowhere to be found!" she muttered.Earlier, before the female soldiers escorted Maartje to her room, the girl asked them to accompany her to explore the palace, which they said was being renovated.Those who had no suspicions about Maartje finally complied with the girl's wishes.However, there wa

In Cornelia's mind, by marrying Maartje, Leon would not only gain a very beautiful girl."Haven't you remained unmarried all this time because you were searching for the most beautiful girl in Crystalbrook?" said the secretary. "That girl is now before you! So what else are you waiting for?""Furthermore, consider one more thing!" Cornelia continued. "Maartje is a symbol of resistance and at the same time a symbol of hope for the people of Crystalbrook. By marrying her, you will not only be able to force those who have opposed you all this time to support you! On the contrary, the possibility of people rebelling will diminish even more!"Upon hearing such considerations, Leon's eyes widened. So did his mouth. How could he miss such a great opportunity?Back to the present."I will not only make you my deputy governor, but you will also be my wife!" Leon said again, walking slowly towards Maartje proudly while holding a glass in one of his hands."Both of us will produce successors who

Feeling disgusted by Leon's gaze towards her, Maartje quickly opened her mouth. "You shouldn't waste my time! I came here to sign the reconciliation letter!"Leon smiled widely. "My dear, why rush? We haven't met in a long time. Wouldn't it be appropriate for us to exchange a word or two first?"The man then ordered the female soldiers to leave."Alright, Duke!" they said and immediately left the room, closing the door behind them.As the female soldiers left, Maartje felt very uncomfortable being alone with Leon. However, she tried to control her feelings."Come, sit here!" Leon gestured for Maartje to sit on the sofa where he had been drinking earlier.Maartje quickly moved to the spot Leon indicated because she didn't want the man to try to touch her again."Here, take this!" Leon handed Maartje a glass of wine."I am good!" Maartje simply said without touching the glass offered to her."Do you know what I dislike most about someone?" Leon asked as he sipped the wine in his hand.M

Thirty minutes later, the long sedan carrying Maartje arrived near the palace. Behind the sedan, a large jeep followed."This is truly terrifying!" One of the female soldiers inside the jeep couldn't contain her feelings upon seeing the sea of people surrounding the palace. "This is far more than what we faced before!" she murmured again.The female soldier used to be one of the Warriors who fought alongside Duke Dujardin to overthrow Leon.Back when they attacked this palace, Leon's forces weren't as numerous. But now, the situation was completely reversed."I really don't understand how Duke Sardou could gather such a massive army!" muttered the other female soldier, still focusing on her driving.The horror they both felt was also felt by Maartje inside the long sedan. "So many soldiers," she murmured. "There's no way I could fight them!"Anyone who saw the large group of blue-uniformed soldiers would shiver immediately.The sedan continued along the straight asphalt road that woul

Since that day, Duke Dujardin secretly helped those who were struggling financially to pay their taxes. "My father secretly doubled the employees' salaries! The aim was for this bonus not to be counted for deduction from their wages! He also provided financial assistance to those in great need, also secretly!" thought Maartje, recalling her father's struggle at that time. As time passed, the number of people receiving assistance from Duke Dujardin grew steadily. And it didn't take long for the duke to gain recognition from the wider community. "Hundreds of Paragons fought on my father's side! They sacrificed their lives so that Leon could be acquitted!" she thought again. The result was ten years ago when the very fierce civil war was finally won by Duke Dujardin. As Maartje reminisced about her father's struggle at that time, a voice inside her seemed to echo in her ears. A voice urging her to keep fighting, no matter how strong the enemy and how impossible victory may seem. T

Chapter 122 - Do It If You Truly Believe You Can Do It!
It's been a common knowledge that although Leon and Duke Dujardin came from the same ancestors, their lines of luck differed. Duke Dujardin inherited thousands of hectares of land from his great-grandfather, a family wealth passed down through generations. It was all productive land cultivated with various vegetables, fruits, and even rare medicinal plants capable of generating billions of RG annually. That was just one aspect of the Dujardin family's wealth. Besides that, they also controlled several mining locations and significant real estate businesses. It could be said that the Dujardin family's hotels were almost scattered throughout the Eldoria kingdom. This was in stark contrast to Leon, or "The Unlucky Duke" as people called him. His grandfather was nearly bankrupt due to debts he couldn't bear. Meanwhile, his father became a fugitive after being found guilty of embezzling state funds. Leon, who was raised in a military education since childhood, lacked sufficient knowl

How dark Duke Dujardin felt hearing their explanations. Especially when they said that hospitals and social houses no longer provided social services. If you're sick or hungry, but you have no money, then the government can't do anything for you. In other words, you have to endure your suffering on your own, and there's no one you can ask for help. "The government argues that it's the people's obligation to pay taxes to them. While they have no obligations to the people!" the supervisor said again. When the tax rules were first implemented, along with the elimination of social security rules, chaos erupted almost throughout the province of Crystalbrook. It could even be said that this province experienced turmoil like never before in its history. "However, the protests we've made never succeeded because anyone who opposes will immediately be shot! If not, they will be arrested and tortured or sent to the mines for forced labor!" Duke Dujardin clenched his mouth tightly while clen

Chapter 120 - Exorbitant Taxes
A month after Duke Dujardin lived in his luxurious manor in Emberfield, he was approached by a group of people who worked on his estate. "Duke Dujardin, forgive us!" The group of no more than ten people then immediately fell to their knees before the duke. "The police threatened to take our wages! We beg you, do not give them that money! It's all we have to feed our children and wives! We are even willing to work longer hours every day if you want us to, as long as you don't give that money to them!" They continued to prostrate themselves at Duke Dujardin's feet while pleading with him not to give their wages to the Crystalbrook police officers. Duke Dujardin didn't quite understand what they were saying. Of course, he wouldn't give their money to anyone. "Get up! There's no need to grovel like this!" he said, holding the shoulders of each worker one by one. "Please tell me, what's really going on?" They glanced at each other for a moment before the man at the forefront explaine

"What?" Jack exclaimed. "It seems Leon has been thinking about this for a long time! He realizes that Duke Dujardin has become some sort of symbol of rebellion for the people to oppose him! Therefore, he is convinced that as long as Duke Dujardin is still alive or residing in Crystalbrook, people will still have hope to rebel against him!" "In other words," Jack continued. "If Leon succeeds in marrying Maartje, then it's like destroying the last hope of the people of Crystalbrook to oppose him?" "Exactly! But, of course, that won't solve the problem in Crystalbrook! Mass oppression and exploitation will occur! In the end, it's the people who will suffer!" "You're right!" That's all Jack could say. Now he understood that letting Leon marry Maartje would only make the people even more miserable in the end. He also understood that the most important thing now was to save Maartje and her family first. "Quantara, do you have any ideas?" "Of course! I've been thinking of the most pos
