The following morning, Justin's initial shock at being captured faded in comparison to the scene before him. The cell door opened, and he was led outside to witness the full horror of the place. Before him lay a miniature plantation world, with endless rubber forests and vast cotton fields. Shouts and screams filled the air, accompanied by the crack of whips. Countless people were forced into labor, their bodies withered, and sweat pouring under the artificial sun.

Justin broke into a cold sweat, never imagining the King would create such a place—a prison but also a site of forced labor. He was pushed toward another cell, and the heavy metal door slammed shut behind him.

This time, he decided to stay quiet for a while, waiting for Ricard to leave. When Ricard's footsteps faded, he slowly sat up and looked around the dark cell. The adjacent cells were empty; the prisoners were taken for labor, leaving him alone. He was confined for several consecutive days, each day a struggle against

    Justin laughed, a harsh and bloody sound. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't care. His eyes remained sharp, fixed on Ricard. "You know, Ricard," he said, his tone mocking. "You've always been jealous of me. You want to be the King's son, to have the position you think I hold."Ricard's eyes widened, anger and shock clearly displayed on his face. "That's not true!" he roared, tightening his grip on Justin's neck. "You know nothing! You understand nothing about loyalty and responsibility!"But Justin's words had struck a nerve. Ricard began to pummel Justin relentlessly, each punch landing like rain. Justin could only try to shield himself, but Ricard's strength was overwhelming. Blood flowed from his mouth, nose, and the wounds on his face, staining the ground beneath him.It wasn't until the guards rushed in to stop him that Ricard finally relented. He let go of Justin, breathing heavily, his eyes still filled with rage. He straightened his clothes and ordered

    Logan looked at Justin, his eyes filled with doubt. "Something doesn't seem right," he whispered.Justin thought for a moment, suspicion and curiosity mixing in his mind. He sensed the challenge in Ricard's eyes, as if he were waiting for them to make a mistake. "We agree," Justin said, trying to keep his voice steady, his gaze fixed on Ricard.Ricard smirked and nodded to his subordinates to unlock Logan's chains. The heavy chains fell to the ground with a clatter in the quiet space. Logan rubbed his wrists, feeling the red marks left by the chains.Ricard stepped out of the cell, and his subordinates opened the door for Justin and Logan. The two men slowly stepped out, their eyes constantly scanning their surroundings, trying to identify every corner.As they left the cell, Justin and Logan reunited with other members of the Dawn Council. Etham, with tired but determined eyes, approached them. The emotional scene unfolded as everyone saw each other, with tight hugs and tears streami

    **Julie and Ryo's Wedding Night**After the wedding ceremony ended, the guests gradually departed. But the events of the night were far from over. Etham, drunk and exuberant, gathered a group of the bride and groom's friends and led them to the newlyweds' bridal chamber to create some raucous fun.As Ryo approached the door of the bridal chamber, he found Etham at the head of a group of seven or eight girls, all laughing and blocking the entrance.Etham crossed his arms over his chest and laughed heartily, "I'm sorry, Dr. Ryo, but we are Julie's bridesmaids. If you want to enter the bridal chamber, you'll have to pass our challenges first!"Monica quickly chimed in, "That's right! Snatching away our male god won't be so easy!""Agreed," added Annie."Seriously, Annie? Even you joined in with Etham?" Caesar was speechless.Leona was equally perplexed, "Monica, aren't you supposed to be on our side?"Monica stuck out her tongue, "Who said so? I'm on my sister-in-law's side!"On Etham's

    Davichi looked at Etham with a complicated expression. "I've never heard Evelyn mention that before.""You lucky little punk! You actually got it right!" Etham stared at the paper with the correct answer, feeling both frustrated and impressed."No way! How could that be correct? How did you know that, man? Are you some kind of mind reader?" Leona asked Etham, his face filled with amazement.Etham remained silent, his gaze fixed on the girl opposite him.Those who knew about Etham and Evelyn's story, like Caesar and Logan, found his expression odd, while Davichi furrowed his brow slightly.Ryo glanced at Etham with an unreadable expression, seemingly unsurprised, and asked, "What is the second challenge?"Mentioning the second challenge, Etham's excitement returned. He rubbed his chin, his eyes scanning the group of men with a mischievous grin."Ahahaha! For the second challenge, pick someone to dress up as a woman. They must convince us ladies to declare them 'beautiful, beautiful, be

    Even now, she still doesn't know why she gave Mio the sachet with the detoxifying medicine back then. Was it because the time wasn't ripe, or was it a fleeting moment of compassion?The child still knew nothing, continuing to see her as a kind older sister.Standing in front of Annie, Mio respectfully clasped his hands and said, "Sister Annie, for the third challenge, I will take your moves. Please instruct me."Annie slowly sat down and patted Mio's head, her eyes filled with affection. "I concede."If it weren't for Mio, none of this would have happened. She wouldn't have met Ray again, wouldn't have regained her memory, and wouldn't have found herself again... She would have spent her life drowning in a fake revenge.Not only would she concede, but she would also do anything to make up for this child in this lifetime.Mio looked troubled. "If I win like this... I don't feel proud at all."Annie laughed. "Why not? You won by using your charm! I willingly concede!"As soon as Annie f

    On a sunny day, as Julie's due date approached, the name for the baby still hadn't been decided. Caesar, Logan, Leona, and Monica gathered together, determined to come up with a name for the little one.Caesar stroked his chin thoughtfully. "It's been almost ten months, and still no name? How hard can it be? Mio's full name is Mio Lesli, so grand and imposing. The second child should follow that style! How about Luc Kinh Thuong? It sounds refined, rhyming, and grand! Or maybe Karik!"Julie's face immediately darkened. "Arrogant my foot! The doctor said it's a girl! A girl, got it?"Caesar grumbled, "Who says a girl can't be called Karik?"Julie smiled sweetly but with a hint of menace. "Fine, then you can save that name for your daughter. Let's see if she recognizes her father after she's born!"After thinking it over for a bit, Caesar finally relented and dropped the idea.Monica thought for a moment and then suggested, "How about Cherry? It's peaceful and serene, perfect for this li

    In the past, Julie worried every day that Bread might become autistic. Now, she wished she could just chain her down with an iron chain.Bread was a constant troublemaker, never giving anyone a moment's peace. Everyone in the household was exhausted from dealing with her antics.Julie watched Caesar storm upstairs to catch Bread, feeling a bit worried. She glanced at Ryo. "Caesar cherishes his vegetable garden the most. I'm afraid Bread is in for a tough time this time. Oh, don't stop Caesar later. Our little one really needs to be taught a lesson!"Ryo looked up at his wife, his tone calm, "I won't."Julie was surprised. Ryo usually pampered Bread so much. How come he agreed this time?Julie was still doubtful when Caesar came stomping back, having found the little troublemaker in Mio's room.Mio watched his younger sister being carried away by Caesar without any intention of rescuing her, just as calm as his father."Uncle, Uncle... let me go..." Bread babbled.Caesar, resolute, sai

    Monica went to get some food. Katty happily dipped a piece of Newtown City fries into ketchup and brought it to his mouth. "Dad, have a bite."Caesar couldn't bear to refuse, so he opened his mouth and took a bite."Is it good?""Yes." Seeing the smile on his daughter's face, what else could he say?"Uncle, your company's stock has been rising continuously these past few days." Jony, after completing a transaction, finally put down his laptop and looked at his uncle sitting beside him."Really? You must have made quite a profit, right?" Caesar glanced at his nephew. "Does your father know you're buying stocks again?"More than half a year ago, this reckless kid exploited loopholes in the trading network, infiltrated the Jones trading system, and caused the Dow Jones Index to plummet to below 10,000 points in just five minutes. This meant that in such a short time, the U.S. stock market evaporated trillions of dollars.Ryo had to exhaust all his efforts to resolve the major disaster hi

    The sudden incident left Jeannie terrified. Even after the bicycle was hit, she hadn’t recovered.Ricard comforted Jeannie and then angrily walked to the driver's seat of the BMW, shouting, "What kind of driving is this? Didn’t you see the red light?""What's the rush? What's the rush?" The car door opened, and the young man stepped out slowly, "I didn't hit anyone. Just compensate you, right? How much do you want? Three thousand yuan enough?"The young man pulled out three thousand yuan from his pocket and threw it on the car's hood. Before Ricard could respond, he added another three thousand: "If it's not enough, here’s six thousand, okay?"Ricard took a deep breath, "This is not about money. I need your attitude, apologize to us!""Apologize? You must be joking. I didn't hit you. You just want money, right? Fine, here's ten thousand yuan. Is that enough?" The young man threw another stack of money on the hood.He then glanced at Jeannie, trying to gauge her reaction, but she didn'

    The staff's words made Jeannie unconsciously look at Ricard.Although they had registered their marriage more than a month ago and even took wedding photos, their relationship had always been lukewarm. Now, suddenly being called Ricard's girlfriend, Jeannie's heart skipped a beat, and even the tension of the impending bungee jump was pushed aside."Hey, man, come here. What are you hiding from? Your girlfriend dares to jump, and you're hiding behind her. Come and hold her tightly." The staff urged, waving at Ricard.Of course, Ricard didn't refuse the staff's suggestion to jump while holding Jeannie, cheerfully running over.Jeannie looked at Ricard in front of her, seeming a bit hesitant: "Didn't we buy two separate tickets? Can't we jump one at a time?""That's right, a couple's ticket. Come here and stand firm, put on the equipment, and don't mess around." The staff said while fitting the equipment on Jeannie and Ricard. The eighty-meter-high jump platform had a hot wind blowing in

    “Sure.” Ricard didn't hesitate to hand the Coca-Cola to Jeannie.Jeannie looked at the dark carbonated drink in her hand. There were many things she always wanted to try: singing wildly, acting cute like other girls, playing with social media apps, buying her favorite snacks. But due to her family's strict upbringing, she never did anything too extreme. She never went to karaoke to sing loudly, never bought a pile of snacks, never bought a bunch of cold drinks in the summer. She always maintained a calm and mature demeanor, drinking a hot cup of tea at the company every day. Sometimes she would see others with a cold drink and feel a desire to take a sip, but she feared that doing so would shatter the dignified image she had built in front of her employees. Although she appeared to have many things, she had never experienced things that were easily within reach for ordinary people.Like Coca-Cola. When she was young, her family didn't let her touch these carbonated drinks. As she grew

    For Ricard, physical endurance wasn’t an issue. Cycling seventy kilometers, even carrying Jeannie, was no problem for him. Along the way, they chatted and laughed, making the time fly by.Two hours passed unnoticed. The midday sun blazed overhead, heating the road. Ricard cycled along the highway, enjoying occasional shade from roadside trees."President Demneri, are you thirsty? I’ll buy us some drinks." Ricard stopped at a roadside stall, buying two cold Coca-Colas."Why Coca-Cola?" Jeannie asked, puzzled.“For the refreshing taste.” Ricard took a gulp, letting out a satisfied “Ah.”“I’ll have water instead.” Jeannie placed the Coke on the counter, opting for a bottle of mineral water.Ricard gallantly opened the bottle for her, and Jeannie took small sips.Ricard could tell Jeannie was very thirsty, but she still drank slowly, a habit from childhood.“Alright, let’s go. Only twenty kilometers left. If I speed up, we can reach Haihu soon and enjoy the afternoon there.”Ricard resume

    Ricard heard the cheers and smiled, looking at the woman standing at the microphone with pride. This was his wife, capable and talented! With a few short sentences, she had inspired everyone’s enthusiasm. The employees' attitude towards work could indeed shape the future development of the company.Irena, who had just been fired, had packed her belongings and quietly left through the side entrance of the company. Seeing Maria with a large rose pinned to her chest, standing at the front of the company and receiving praise, made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She had heard everything Jeannie said over the microphone. Five hundred thousand, even split between two, was still two hundred and fifty thousand each! Why should Maria get that money?Irena glared at the company's main entrance with resentment. If it weren’t for Maria and that damned new hire, today’s events wouldn't have involved her!Irena took a deep breath, trying to console herself. Even if Maria got two hundred and fifty

    Jeannie chuckled lightly. "In the end, you're still trying to comfort me, but in your own unique way.""Am I? Ha ha." Ricard laughed heartily, ruffling his hair. "Sit down." Jeannie gestured to Ricard.Ricard did not stand on ceremony, sprawling comfortably on the sofa.Jeannie poured him a cup of tea, an unprecedented gesture from her. This act made Ricard feel both pampered and uneasy. "No, no!" Ricard quickly stopped her."What's the matter? Are you mocking me?" Jeannie shot Ricard a sharp look. "A man who can easily get the head of the largest corporation in France to come to Supperazza to sign a contract can’t accept a cup of tea from me?"Ricard gave a wry smile. Initially, he hadn't planned to let Jeannie know about Eugene, but with today's events, including Prince Charles’s presence, there was no way to keep it hidden.After pouring the tea, Jeannie sat down opposite Ricard, lightly rubbing her forehead. "As usual, explain.""Ah… I saved Eugene’s life once, and since then he’s

    When Eugene heard that Jeannie was Ricard's wife, his expression immediately turned respectful. "Lovely lady, forgive me for saying, but you truly are the most beautiful angel I've ever met.""Uncle Eugene is the manager of the Zefiro Group, the largest financial group in France," Prince Charles reintroduced Eugene to Jeannie.Although Prince Charles didn't use flowery language or mention astronomical wealth, saying it was the largest in France was enough for Jeannie to understand the significance of the old man standing before her. A man like this could hardly be someone Ricard found to collude in defrauding the company.Outside the reception room, Naccy and her group waited for the outcome.Jeannie quickly exited the reception room, and they all looked at her, awaiting a response.Jeannie scanned the group and spoke, "Director Naccy, this has been a misunderstanding. Mr. Eugene is indeed the partner Ricard found.""How can that be?" Naccy's first reaction was disbelief. How could so

    "Mr. Eugene, please wait. I'll go get Ricard.""No need," Eugene called Maria back. "Ricard entrusted this deal to me. If you don't sign it, I'll refuse to cooperate.""What?""Girl, how your company distributes the bonus between you and Ricard is none of my business. You can discuss it with your boss later. For now, go get the contract."The sudden success of the deal and the enormous bonus were overwhelming for Maria. It took her a while to process it.As Maria left the reception room to get the contract, her face still showed signs of disbelief.Everyone in the business department saw Maria's expression. When she left the reception room, they all started talking."What's wrong? Couldn't close the deal?""She looks like she failed.""She's a rookie trying to handle a deal herself. What did you expect?"Kristy and others showed disdain. "No," Maria waved her hands. "The deal is done. The client agreed to sign the contract.""Signed?" Kristy's eyes widened in disbelief.

    "Three... hundred thousand?" Maria's eyes glazed over at the number. Her family was ordinary, and her parents had worked hard their whole lives without saving that much money. Three hundred thousand was enough to buy a house in Supperazza, enough for someone unemployed to live comfortably for years, or to buy a BMW. For Maria, three hundred thousand was an unimaginable fortune.Hearing Eugene say that this deal alone could yield a bonus of three hundred thousand made Maria feel like she was dreaming. "Girl, so, will you sign the contract, or do I need to call Ricard?"Maria swallowed hard, stammering, "I... I..."Hearing Maria's response, Eugene felt a bit disappointed. He understood that three hundred thousand might not mean much to him, but it could change an ordinary person's life. With three hundred thousand, they could buy a big house, a luxury car."I... I need to call Ricard and ask him to treat me to a good meal. Three hundred thousand is a lot! Mr. Eugene, please wait a momen
