Since undergoing a period of recovery, Fiona hadn't gone anywhere. Instead, she had undergone intensive treatment in a penthouse with a reliable medical team employed by the Magnificent Emerald Group for one week. After that, she returned to her activities.

Actually, there were many questions in Fiona's head about the magical things that had been happening lately. But, whenever she asked Stephen, he always responded with a reasonable answer.

The problem regarding Tristan Reyes' crimes could also be solved immediately. He had been arrested and later tried on charges of kidnapping, abuse, and environmental pollution.

A burly man with black hair and brown skin approached Stephen, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room. "Young master, I have any news from the police."

Stephen turned to the man in the white shirt. "What news, Raymond?"

The man's face tensed, his hands clenched tightly. "The firefight that took place in the border town of Windvista is connected to Tristan Reyes."

"Hold on, I have something for you!" Stephen walked to the refrigerator and took out two bottles of orange juice. Then he handed one of the bottles to William. "I appreciate it." Stephen spun the cap on the bottle and said, "I just want to have a drink with you." The old man beside Stephen smiled faintly as he uncorked the bottle. "It turns out you still remember if I like orange juice." "Certainly." Stephen looked out the office window, which revealed white clouds floating like scattered cotton. "I was thinking about something, William." Stephen's gaze extended far into the horizon. William downed his cold, refreshing orange juice. After taking a deep breath, he said, "What are you thinking about, Young Master?" Stephen turned to William. "Grandfather's birthday," Stephen answered briefly.

    William finished his drink and placed the bottle on the table. The old man's face appeared fearless as he spoke without hesitation, "Should Young Master genuinely desire my assistance in investigating your uncle, I assure you, I shall not waver in carrying out the task.

    As the sun tilted to the west, casting an amber glow across the cityscape, Stephen shut down his laptop and meticulously organized the scattered documents on his desk. With a sigh of relief, he stood up and made his way out of the office, accompanied by Raymond, his loyal driver and confidant. Seated behind the wheel, Raymond, a resilient man with a brown complexion and stylish dark glasses, glanced at Stephen and asked, "Where are we headed, Young Master?" Stephen, feeling the weight of the day lifting off his shoulders, loosened his tie and shot a sidelong glance at Raymond. "Straight to the penthouse," he replied decisively. With a nod of understanding, Raymond revved up the engine of the Porsche, driving it hurtling through the bustling Rosewind streets flanked by towering skyscrapers.

    Stephen's gaze lingered on Fiona, her face etched with worry, the lines of her forehead creased with a troubled expression. The weight of her concern was palpable in the air, hanging between them like a thick fog."So, you're worried about her?" He stroked his wife's head then smiled.Fiona closed her eyes, her efforts to suppress her jealousy a battle waged within her. Surprisingly, Keyla Fox had inadvertently come to her aid. It was a double-edged sword—a distraction that allowed Tristan to focus on preserving his wealth, rather than indulging in his malicious intentions towarded Fiona. If not for the chaos incited by Keyla Fox, Fiona knew all too well that the outcome might have been far worse—a harrowing encounter she would rather forget.Summoning all her strength, Fiona mustered a smile that masked her inner turmoil. "Yes, I am worried about her," she said with a confused look on her face. "I didn't know she could be that brave! I saw that she also wasn't that concerned about env
