Stephen and Vincent disembarked from the helicopter, preparing to head towards the mansion. Unexpectedly, a group of guards surrounded them, pointing their gun barrels. The blonde man assessed the surroundings and the group of guards. With composure, Stephen said, "Hello, everyone! I've been invited by Mr. Garrett to come here." The armed men exchanged glances with each other, then nodded. Subsequently, one of them issued a command, "Hands up!" Stephen and Vincent complied, and they proceeded to search Stephen and Vincent, confiscating a pistol from Vincent's jacket and a dagger hidden in his boot. After the inspection was completed, a tall, red-haired man with a red beard and mustache said, "Please, come in!" The guards saluted Stephen and Vincent, allowing the two guests to enter the spacious and luxurious mansion. From the outside, the mansion was white, but inside, the walls were a deep navy blue, combined with gold accents and straight-line ornaments that gave it an aesthetic
During the journey from Garrett's mansion to the Nuuslaq hotel, Stephen had successfully retained all the information from the ancient book written by his ancestors. Upon arriving at the penthouse, Stephen began to practice some of the movements he had found in the book to calm himself further, as if trying to communicate with the three-headed eagle spirit. For several hours, Stephen conducted his physical tests on the penthouse's second floor, well into the night. Fiona, feeling worried and missing Stephen due to his prolonged time on the second floor, took the initiative to check on him. Upon reaching the second floor of their penthouse, she saw a shirtless blond man sitting cross-legged on a small carpet. From behind Stephen's back, she could see the changes in her husband's physique. His muscles appeared firmer and more impressive, and the sweat glistening on his body emitted a soft yellowish glow in the night. In her heart, she wondered, "Is he really my husband, Stephen?" Fiona
Fiona clenched her fists tightly, silently questioning herself, "Isn't this what you expected from him?" As a result, her face turned melancholic as she realized that Stephen only desired her as an outlet for his sexual desires.However, another part of Fiona's soul spoke more firmly within her heart, "No! This isn't it! I want him to return to me, not just for a momentary passionate game!"She pushed Stephen's chest away, causing the shirtless blond man to lie down with her on top. "I didn't come here for sex, just so you know!" she sighed heavily, her gray eyes challenging.With a heavy voice, Stephen asked, "What do you want?" He was fixated on the way Fiona was looking at him. "Is the money I gave you not enough? Or do you want to live somewhere other than this penthouse?" he continued his questions.Fiona caressed Stephen's freshly shaven cheek, then pinched his chin with her index finger and thumb, a gesture Stephen often used with her. She shook her head gently and whispered, "
The atmosphere in the luxurious hall suddenly turned icy, and all eyes were fixed on the handsome man with blond hair wearing a maroon-red suit. The man looked confident, but deep in his heart, he longed for his grandfather.Anthony, sitting in an electric wheelchair, also missed his son dearly. However, the old man's awareness held him back from being captivated. He immediately asked Stephen, "Who are you?" with a firm tone.The head of the Hudson family was indeed very sad due to the death of his eldest son. Nevertheless, he was still rational and wouldn't easily accept someone pretending to be his son.The blond man in the maroon-red suit smiled warmly and said, "I'm Stephen, your grandson."The old man with blond hair in a black suit observed Stephen from head to toe. Despite his old age, his eyesight was still good. He quickly calculated how old his grandson Stephen would be if he were still alive. His grandson was already 28 years old, a grown man. Anthony suspected that the bea
Anthony looked at William with scrutiny, "Is what Fabian said true?"The white-haired man shook his head, then, maintaining his politeness, he replied, "My loyalty lies with the late Sebastian Hudson. I could never betray him."William glanced at Stephen briefly before continuing his words, "He is your grandson, Stephen Hudson, who disappeared twenty years ago."The man in the electric wheelchair furrowed his brow, finding William's answer too far-fetched, then he refuted, "How do you explain this, William? I've been searching for him for three long years, and it's led to nothing."William understood his master's anxiety and responded calmly, "That's because someone hid him well, sir. For two years, the young master was in Danswell orphanage. Afterward, he was adopted by a family in Bentguay. However, it didn't last long because the adoptive family went bankrupt, and they all perished. Since then, the young master became an orphan again and settled on the coast."The head of the Hudso
In Stephen's heart, he rejoiced because the request for a DNA test was what he had been eagerly waiting for. The blonde man then looked at his uncle with confidence and replied to the man in the blue suit, "Of course, I'm willing."Stephen's gaze then shifted to Vincent, who was among the guests, signaling with his face. Vincent nodded, confirming Stephen's command, and then he approached while carrying a folder.When the long-haired man stood next to him, Stephen grabbed the folder and showed its contents to the elderly man in the electric wheelchair. "These are the results of my DNA test. They show a 99% match with my late father, Sebastian Hudson, which means I am his child."Anthony examined the documents in his hands, scrutinizing every detail, and agreed that the documents appeared genuine and were issued by a recognized laboratory in the country of Southroses. The man muttered, "These documents look authentic."Fabian clenched his fists tightly when he saw his father's face sho
Slowly, Fiona's body slid down, causing Stephen to support her with a worried expression on his face. At that moment, Stephen's hand felt Fiona's upper back was wet, then he saw his hand was smeared with blood. A surge of anger welled up in Stephen as he witnessed his wife enduring the pain of a gunshot wound to protect him.Stephen screamed hysterically, "Fiona!" while embracing her.The brunette woman on Stephen's arm smiled gently and said,"I—I'm fine, don't worry about me."Stephen's hand clenched tightly, his gaze shifting to Fabian, who stood arrogantly with a pistol, as if he had become the ruler of the world and deemed it appropriate to look down on Stephen.In his heart, Stephen said, "After this, I guarantee you won't escape!"At the same time, the guests looked frozen, not expecting to witness a bloodshed at a lavish birthday party, especially one caused by the heir to the Hudson family.The medical team stationed around the hall rushed to Fiona, then carried the woman in t
After leaving the hall, Stephen intended to head to the hospital where Fiona was with William and his three bodyguards. However, before he could leave the mansion for the parking lot, he saw Anthony's personal assistant approaching him.A man in a black suit and a black bowtie saluted Stephen and said, "Young master, Lord Anthony is summoning you to his bedroom."Stephen replied, "I will visit my grandfather after taking care of my wife." Then he resumed walking. However, Anthony's personal assistant caught up with Stephen and intercepted him.With a pleading tone, he said, "Please wait, Young master! He has ordered you to come right away." His head bowed in hope, and he continued, "Lord Anthony's condition has worsened, and as for the woman with you, we have taken care of her."Stephen thought for a moment; if his grandfather asked him to come immediately, he must have important news to convey. Then Stephen agreed to his grandfather's request, "Alright, I'll go there right away."Bef
