Harold's words sounded crazy to anyone who knew that Fiona was a married woman. However, most of the attendees were unaware that the man beside Fiona was actually her husband. Fiona had always been secretive about her married life, and rumors had it that her husband came from a different social class.

For these reasons, everyone who knew Harold as the rich heir to the Nelson family at university hoped that Fiona would accept his offer. Harold had been in love with Fiona for a long time.

Fiona was astonished at the behavior of the man in the beige suit. “H—Harold, what are you doing?”

Harold smiled sweetly, staring at Fiona with great interest. "Inviting you to dance. Am I not clear on what I'm saying?"

Despite hearing Harold's request, it still came as a huge shock to Fiona, especially when Stephen's face looked so calm beside her. She didn't know why she was so nervous.

Fiona took a deep breath to shake off the tension and said, "H—Harold, can't you see I'm here with my husband?"

Who is this madman?" She couldn't allow anyone to treat her badly.Harold whispered in Fiona's ear, spreading a chilling terror, "Honey, calm down! I won't hurt you!" For a moment, Fiona paused to identify the man who had attacked her. With ease, she recognized Harold's voice.Fiona thought, "Harold? Why are you doing this to me?" She still couldn't escape the embrace of the man in the beige suit, while her tears kept flowing.The vanilla scent emanating from Fiona's body caught Harold's attention. Just like Stephen, he wanted the scent to fill his lungs. It was as if he wouldn't stop until his lungs exploded from Fiona's scent."Argh!"Harold pushed Fiona against the wall so the two could look at each other. Harold's eyes were bloodshot, and the sweat on his body reeked of wine. He had not only been drunk on

"He came out drunk and his eyes were fixed on Fiona. When she exited the hotel hall, Harold followed her.

I'm at the Nuuslaq hotel, but the service sucks! I want you to take over the hotel and fire the incompetent hotel manager!" Janis agreed to Stephen's request before the call ended.Evan, who overheard Stephen's conversation, clucked his tongue and crossed his arms. He gave Stephen a disdainful look. The black-bearded man then proceeded to insult Stephen, "Who the hell do you think you are? You're just a trash man in Geoff's family!" Evan burst out laughing, but Stephen remained unfazed. He allowed Evan to laugh as he wanted to see him cry later."I wonder why Fiona isn't embarrassed to have a trash husband like you!" Evan continued to laugh, revealing his molars.Stephen crossed his arms over his chest, enjoying the exciting show in front of

This is very bad news, Young Master!"Stephen's heart pounded, as he couldn't imagine something bad happening to Fiona."Please, tell me quickly!"Reymon explained in detail over the phone, "Someone has hacked into the hotel's CCTV network. As a result, the cameras couldn't record the murders or the people involved in the incident that killed Harold Nelson. This also means that we haven't found any clues regarding Mrs. Fiona's whereabouts."Stephen was furious. "Damn it!" He punched the wall until his skin hurt.With a burning heart, Stephen gave the order, "Tell our IT team to search the entire world for Fiona's face!" He continued his journey to the VIP elevator to return to the hotel lobby."I got it," Reymon answered immediately.Although the Nuuslaq hotel wasn't as good as the Magnificent Emera

    Stephen's steps were steady as he entered William's room. Inside the room were William, Oliver, Vincent, Kaysen, and a blonde-haired woman wearing a black leather jacket. Perhaps she was Alyssa Frazier, who became Fiona's bodyguard while Oliver escorted him to Carlelis city.The giant LCD screen on William's secret wall displayed CCTV screens from various places. Their faces all looked serious as they watched the LCD screen. Meanwhile, Kaysen and Vincent were busy in front of the laptop.Stephen greeted everyone to ease the tension a bit. "Hello, everyone! Have we found Fiona's whereabouts yet?" However, it seemed that his question only increased the tension."Okay, now really isn't the time to relax," Stephen thought.William greeted Stephen and then delivered his report. "Not yet. We have deployed secret agents to various locations, but so far, no good news." The old man took a deep breath, his eyes filled with worry.Stephen grabbed William's shoulder and said, "I appreciate your ef

The two men were engrossed in their laptops, searching for information about Fiona's private flights.Kaysen exclaimed, pressing the enter key and bringing up an image of a private jet along with complete ownership data. "Here it is!"Stephen scrutinized the data closely, his hand slamming onto the table when he saw the name of the private jet's owner."Tristan Reyes!"That was the man who had bullied Stephen alongside Bryson, leading to Stephen's termination from the restaurant.The young master of the Hudson family still vividly remembered how the bald, bearded man had arrogantly asserted his control over Fiona.Tristan had spoken those words with a lecherous expression and gestures, as if he derived pleasure from squeezing something. "If you don't believe that I'm superior to you, just watch as I play with your wife. You'll witness her begging and moaning under my control—." He was completely deranged in his obs

Oliver led the group to a white, automatic fast boat that could accommodate more than 10 people.Once they were all on the ship, Reymond took control and they began their journey to save Fiona using the fast boat.In the cabin, Kaysen turned on the laptop and displayed a map of Blythedar Island to plan the raid with the agents. While the agents were busy discussing, Stephen had other things on his mind. His head was filled with questions. "How can I destroy the Reyes family fortune?"He called his private secretary to gather more information about the Reyes family.

But I need your help to distract the kidnapper!"Stephen's request this time couldn't help but confuse her.

It's Tristan Reyes—."Before Stephen could finish speaking, Keyla was already taken aback by the name he mentioned. She exclaimed, "What?"She knew the real problem Stephen was facing.

Fiona turned to her husband and said, "What if we go on the Ferris wheel?" Stephen looked up at the ferris wheel with the slowly rotating baskets. He thought for a moment, then said, "Alright. Let's go there." They walked together towards the Ferris wheel. However, suddenly Falla rebelled in Fiona's embrace and started crying. Fiona gently comforted her baby, "Falla, what's wrong? Are you scared of going on the Ferris wheel?" But Falla's cries didn't stop. Fiona tried to comfort Falla with a small doll she usually played with. But Falla continued to cry.

Stephen had decided that Aiden still needed to face his punishment.In a low, pressing voice, Stephen said, "If you admit guilt, do you still deserve to be among us?"Aiden looked at Stephen, not surprised by Stephen's decision, but remorseful for his own foolishness and ill treatment of Stephen and Fiona all this time.Moreover, this was not the same Stephen that Aiden had once suppressed. After this, Aiden wouldn't be able to escape Stephen, even if he hid at the ends of the earth. Stephen would surely pursue him and find him. With a regretful expression, Aiden nodded in surrender and said, "No, I don't deserve to be here."With his cold gaze, Stephen continued to observe Aiden. He was curious about what else the man would say.Realizing his unwelcome presence in the luxurious room, Aiden rose from his seat. Since

He wanted to know Fiona's plan regarding her brothers. But then, she gripped Stephen's arm tightly, her face pale.Oliver quickly took over the bouquet of flowers, chocolate bouquet, and frame from Fiona's hands.

Take her to the hospital now!"Stephen looked down and found Fiona's calfs wet

He had known about Keyla's feelings for a long time, and her expressions were not new to him.Gently, Stephen spoke, "Keyla."The supermodel's chest rose and fell as she struggled to contain the turmoil within, which seemed ready to burst. She was very afraid of what Stephen would say, but in reality, she continued to stand there, almost frozen in place.Looking directly at the supermodel, Stephen said, "I know how you feel, Keyla. But, you know I am already married, and soon I'll be a father?"The beautiful woman took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes, I understand."

    Stephen, anoyed with the disrespectful behavior of Fabian Hudson's ex-girlfriends, spoke in a cold tone, "Quickly, tell me what you want in meeting the patriarch?"The women nudged each other in confusion at the unexpected presence of the patriarch. Their eyes exchanged clear expressions of anxiety, but their determination remained firm. Their visit to the Hudson family mansion had to yield results – they wanted to regain the privileges Fabian had once granted them.Since none of them dared to speak in front of the patriarch after openly admitting their mistakes, Stephen said coldly, "Damn it, I've wasted my time with a bunch of foolish women."
