Justin’s voice echoed, capturing the attention of everyone in the banquet hall as they turned towards them. The trio quickly became the center of attention, with Justin, Katherine, and Julie drawing everyone’s gaze. Katherine could sense the tension in the air as all eyes shifted towards them. She looked at Justin, and in his arms, their daughter became timid. A feeling of anxiety rolled up within her. But unlike Katherine and Julie, Justin had a different demeanor. His cold gaze moved from one face to another, sweeping through the crowd as if ending all conversations and smiles. Especially when his eyes met Naomi, Hamza, and Mr. Sherwood, a palpable tension appeared on his face. A fire seemed to ignite within Justin, anger and hatred making his eyes as sharp as knives. He seemed ready to kill them. At this moment, whispers suddenly arose around them: “He looks familiar.” “Yes, it seems I know him.” “...” “...” Justin glanced at those people, but paid little attention to the
The tall man paused at the entrance, and the bell around his neck emitted a chilling and spine-tingling sound.Caesar.The bell sounded like an ominous omen, and its eerie resonance had a heavy impact on everyone present.Whatever it was, it was undoubtedly not an ordinary object, sending shockwaves through the crowd for a moment.Accompanied by the echoing bell, the entire hall fell silent, the air thick with tension, frozen in a moment.This imposing figure stood out prominently in the crowd.Caesar’s muscular physique was exposed, sleek against his dark tan skin.Every aspect of him exuded a menacing demeanor.His ruthless gaze swept over each face on the ground, as if observing tiny ants. Those he glanced at couldn’t help but shudder, their bodies trembling.Caesar bent down, passed through the gate, locking his gaze on Katherine.Her sharp senses quickly detected something unusual, as if her body was engulfed in a fiery, powerful force.She couldn’t see, but she was under the gaze
Justin had specifically instructed Caesar not to take any lives inside, so Caesar only created a minor disturbance.Despite Caesar’s desire to continue causing chaos, Justin felt it was enough and finally ordered Caesar to withdraw.The entire scene was chaotic, and the onlookers, who had initially been watching the drama with interest, were now frightened, huddling together to avoid being harmed by Caesar’s powerful hands.This was a human being, yet possessed a strength that should not naturally belong to a human.How had the man under Justin’s command been trained to this extent?Those present couldn’t fathom it, and they didn’t want to. They were currently struggling to avoid the tumultuous situation.At this point, they couldn’t help but cast accusing glances at Mr. Sherwood.What was supposed to be a traditional family feast had turned into such chaos, and the responsibility clearly fell on the head of the family.Mr. Sherwood was well aware of the dissatisfaction among today’s g
“Justin! Please stop this!” “Katherine, I’m here. I promised to protect you and prevent anyone from harming you. Trust me,” Justin said to Katherine, thinking that she doubted his strength. But what Justin didn’t know was that what made Katherine hesitate wasn’t whether or not she believed in him. It was the fact that Katherine had lived within the boundaries of decorum all her life, trying not to upset anyone. Since childhood, she had been taught that disrupting family happiness was a grave sin. “Justin! I understand that, but I don’t want to be kicked out of my family!” “You call this a family, Katherine? Have any of these people treated you well? They’ve made you toil, humiliated you, and even stolen from you. Don’t you remember?” Justin found it hard to comprehend Katherine’s desire. “But at least I have a job, a legitimate job that I love, and I get paid for it. I don’t want to lose my job at our company. Justin, I really don’t want to lose my job.” Katherine pleaded ear
The closing party, the final jest, has ended. Justin, Katherine, their daughter, and the “friend” all promptly leave. Anyway, she no longer wants to endure the artificial atmosphere that always permeates her family.No matter how cold it is outside, it still feels warmer than the ruthless relatives.The four of them, as if without a hint of nostalgia, turn away and walk straight ahead, ignoring the messy situation behind them.All four first return to their own home. Caesar also stays in a guest room, close to Justin and Katherine’s main bedroom.However, he doesn’t stay put in the room; Caesar says he wants to take a stroll outside before settling in.Little Julie is getting used to her small room. Tonight, she doesn’t demand her mother anymore, finally giving Katherine a bit of peace of mind.Now, only Katherine and Justin are in their own room. Tonight has been an exhausting night for her. Katherine leans into the arms of her lover and sighs:“I still can’t understand why Mr. Sherw
Because it was an urgent command. The next morning, Justin boarded his fighter jet to return to the capital. Little Julie and Katherine had seen him off since early morning.Justin’s fighter jet appeared very prominent, and people around were discussing it.These details also reached Katherine’s ears, sparking her curiosity about the mysterious identity and power that Justin truly held.It had reached a point where even those who doubted Justin’s background as just the child of a bankrupted conglomerate found it hard to believe.However, she refrained from saying much about this matter.She held onto her trust in her fiancé. He had helped her a lot, and she didn’t see herself as someone of significant value to be exploited.This time, Justin had to return to the country of Sprezzatura.Traveling by plane would take only about four hours to reach the destination, a relatively short period, but he wasn’t sure how long it would take to return to Katherine once he set foot in his own king
“Impossible.”Justin’s resolute response frustrated even someone as calm as Richard.From the beginning until now, he had explained many reasons to him, hoping he could understand what was truly important.Yet, this person remained stubborn, like an uncontrollable horse without a bridle.Richard wasn’t the type to be excessively controlling, but he clearly wasn’t pleased when, despite his thorough persuasion, going as far as compromising, his close aide still didn’t comply.Richard was irritated, but he calmly pondered for a while. What was it about that woman that Justin was so determined not to give up?From his perspective, talking about love was like discussing a mundane story.The commoners, even in their love affairs, had to consider equality, let alone those who always stood in such top positions as them.If it were about love, he believed more in familial affection.Wasn’t the blind girl still a mother to a child?He heard Justin changed his decision after meeting that child,
“You are just an outsider; what do you know to speak like that?”Katherine bit her lip, her expression almost tearful. Uncomfortably, she spoke.“Of course, I know. I am his legal wife! Hamza, I understand you bear a grudge against my husband for making you lose face, but you can’t talk badly about others like this!”Hamza sneered.“Sure, you’re on the inside. You’re his intimate partner. Do you really know anything about him? Can you answer my questions?”Katherine, with an uncomfortable expression and on the verge of tears, replied.“I know. I am his legal wife! Hamza, I know you hold a grudge because my husband embarrassed you, but you can’t speak ill of others like this!”“I’m speaking ill? Well then, you tell me. Where is your husband right now, and why did he leave you stranded here like this?”Katherine, thinking about what the man had said, which was information from the king, hesitated to reveal the truth.Nevertheless, this was undoubtedly confidential information, and Justi
