"Hi, Stephen!" Keyla's melodious voice sounded from Stephen's smartphone. He pressed the speaker button so that Fiona could also hear the model's voice clearly.At that moment, Fiona got up from the bed and hugged Stephen from behind, her soft cheek resting against Stephen's facial hair-covered cheek. Stephen glanced at Fiona with a smile. His left hand held the smartphone, while his right hand caressed Fiona's hand on her hand.Stephen greeted Keyla, "Hey! How are you? I heard from Raymond that you got drunk last night."The beautiful model was taken aback by Stephen's question, but she quickly composed herself and replied, "Yes, it's not as bad as you might think. I'm fine." Although deep inside, she felt angry and jealous. She didn't know why she could be so crazy in love with a married man. After all, there were many handsome, wealthy, and single men out there who were eager to date her.But in the end, she had to face reality and couldn't blame anyone because she meant nothing to
After the intimate conversation with Fiona ended, Stephen picked up his phone again, preparing to make a short clarification video about his relationship with Keyla Fox. Fiona sat next to Stephen as he touched the smartphone screen. With enthusiasm, Fiona asked, "Where are you going to make the video?" The blonde man shrugged and replied, "I think either in this room or on the balcony. Which one do you think is better?" Fiona thought for a moment and then said, "This yacht ship is too luxurious, Stephen. If you make a clarification video showing the surroundings of the yacht ship, it will raise many questions. I think it's better if you make the video on the balcony with the sea in the background." Fiona's suggestion made sense. Stephen still didn't want to reveal his identity, so the easiest way to make the clarification video without leaving the cruise ship was to film it on the balcony with the sea in the background. Stephen and Fiona moved from the bed to the balcony. After S
"Joana? Why did she do that? Does this damn man just want to play with me?" John wondered. John stared sharply at Stephen, wanting a further explanation. "Don't joke around! I don't want to make small talk with you!" Stephen did the same thing. He was clearly busier than John. "Do I look like someone interested in prolonging a conversation with you, huh?" He smirked sarcastically. The evening breeze blew stronger, causing shivers and a desire for warmth. Therefore, Stephen told Fiona to go inside the yacht first. The brunette woman complied immediately. Before going to the yacht, she said, "Don't take too long! I'll be waiting for you!" Stephen smiled warmly, seeing Fiona off. As it was only Stephen and John on the dock, John's mind was still wondering. If Stephen had forgiven him, then that meant he had nothing to do with him anymore. Also, Joana, it seemed like John had to meet her after this. She was his golden-haired mermaid who had saved him. Before Stephen completely left th
After returning to Rosewind city, Stephen and Fiona's life went back to normal. Their relationship became even more harmonious. When it was time for Fiona to go to court to face Tristan, she confronted him with confidence.In the courtroom, Fiona met the bald man who had almost assaulted her before. The expression on the coal businessman's face clearly showed his annoyance. But Fiona's self-assurance made her not worried or anxious in the least.With so much evidence and witnesses that Fiona possessed, there was no room for Tristan Reyes to escape the charges of kidnapping and attempted rape that he committed.In the end, the judge delivered his verdict in front of everyone present in the courtroom, "Tristan Reyes, for the act of kidnapping and attempting to rape Fiona, the Rosewind city court sentences you to 30 years in prison! You will be isolated from society for three decades as a consequence of your vile actions!" Then the judge struck the gavel.Although there were not many spe
From inside the orphanage emerged two female friends of Fiona. They were friends from a humanitarian organization that often organized social activities.Fiona exclaimed to her two friends, "You've arrived? What time did you leave Rosewind?" The woman in the white shirt, beige crop top blazer, and blue jeans asked curiously. The distance between Danswell and Rosewind usually took more than three hours.A woman in a white shirt, tight white pants, and a purple long cardigan replied, "I stayed here with Sophia!" Daisy Mills answered enthusiastically.A woman next to Daisy, wearing a short moss green dress with long sleeves, confirmed her statement. "We didn't want to rush. And I think it's beneficial for us to stay here." She smiled.After exchanging greetings and introducing themselves, Johnnie invited Stephen's group to enter the orphanage's dining room.Politely, the man in the gray suit said, "I really appreciate all of you for coming to the remote Danswell orphanage early in the mo
The man across the phone was surprised by Stephen's offer. He hadn't seen Stephen for just ten months, not ten years. But it seemed like Stephen had changed since the last time he met him."Are you serious? If you're serious, I'll definitely come to Rosewind to see you!"The Magnificent Emerald hotel wasn't just the best hotel in Rosewind City; it was an internationally renowned luxury hotel. This caught Manuel's attention.In his mind, Manuel thought, "I thought the peak of surprises was the gift of 6 jet skis. Apparently, he still has another surprise!"Casually, Stephen said, "If I were joking, it would be embarrassing for me if you actually took up my offer!"Manuel realized that Stephen was not joking or being insincere. He started wondering how Stephen had accumulated so much wealth in just ten months.The jet ski rental entrepreneur said, "Alright then, I'll be in Rosewind City next week!" Not long ago, he had said he might visit Rosewind City someday. But in a matter of second
Alyssa lay in Stephen's lap, while the blonde man's hands were smeared with blood.With a pale face, Alyssa said shakily, "Don't worry, Mr. Stephen, I'll be fine..." Carefully, Alyssa handed a gun to Stephen. He angrily accepted the weapon.Stephen's heart was filled with anger. Someone had tried to kill him in the middle of a crowd and caused casualties.Stephen's eyes turned to Johnnie. Immediately, he knew that Stephen needed him to carry Alyssa to the dormitory with the others.Just after Oliver learned that Alyssa had been shot, he aimed at the large tree where the sniper was hiding. After Alyssa was in Johnnie's arms, Stephen also fired his gun at them. As the snipers took cover from Oliver and Stephen's shots, everyone ran safely into the dormitory."Oh my goodness, what was that earlier?" Daisy screamed in panic as she climbed the stairs.Suddenly, Oliver gave a command, "Get down!"In fear, their trembling bodies obeyed Oliver's order, and at the same time, the window glass s
Leia sighed in frustration. She looked up at the ceiling for a moment, then stared at Fiona and said, "Are you sure? Can you judge him objectively, regardless of whether he's your husband or a handsome man?" She smiled sarcastically.Fiona returned the gaze of the woman in the black oversized jumper and replied, "Of course. I still have a brain to distinguish between good and bad." She glared.Impatiently, the woman with bold eye makeup and dark purple lipstick said, "Then what does the shot mean? I don't understand your explanation. If you call him a good man, then who is the bad one? Do you know who tried to shoot him?" She looked sharply at Fiona. "This issue is not simple at all! There are hundreds of children here, and his presence poses a danger to all of us!"Fiona clenched her hands tightly. She didn't have any evidence to accuse anyone of being the culprit. But then the brunette woman said, "I know. Who could have foreseen something like this happening? You better stay calm!"
