Zean's smile widened at that look. "I didn't expect that, even if you lost your memory, your words and stern gaze never completely disappeared from you, brother. You're still our leader." Zean praised.Valencia patted Zean's shoulder and got up from her seat. "I have to go back, Zean. I have a bad feeling about Asher's situation. I may be Alexa, the leader of The Devil. But my life for the past two years is just as important because it has changed a lot of my personality and perspective on the world. I hope you understand, Zean," Valencia said with a smile,"Sis, you've matured from the last time we met. Come back. I've calmed down from saying everything." Zean got up from his seat and went to his room, which was located next to Valencia's room.After a few minutes, Zean returned and handed over a box. "Open it is. I hope you want to keep it, just in case. It's one of the things that has accompanied you all this time."Valencia was curious about what Zean said. 'Item? What item is Zea

Valencia did not reply to Zean's message. She deleted all incoming messages and placed her phone back on the table. Her attention returned to Asher, who was still content to close his eyes. "Asher, how long are you going to be like the sleeping prince who enjoys closing his eyes like that? Wake up, chubby." Valencia said in a hoarse voice. From behind the entrance, Aunt An saw that Valencia was also concerned. Aunt An came in with a tray of food and a glass of warm milk and greeted Valencia. "Madam, it's getting late. You'd better fill your stomach first. Since returning, Madame hasn't eaten anything. Don't let her get sick from torturing herself like this."Valencia turned her head to the side and smiled faintly at Bi An. Valencia's face paled even more. This woman was the most capable of torturing herself if she was determined. "Thank you, Bi. I'll eat it later once Asher wakes up." Valencia said casually. "But, ma'am, your body is already frail. Don't torture it any more than

After Valencia got into the car, Ken and Gerald came over. "Sir, everything is ready as you ordered," Ken reported."Good, this trip won't be easy. I don't want any mistakes to happen to my wife." "But don't you also know that a large force (organization) is protecting her behind Madame? Will you openly show our power to Madame's protectors?" Asked Gerald, who was Valencia's loyal follower and watchdog. "I have no intention of going that far. If they want to protect Valencia, then let them. I'm doing this because I have a strong feeling that something will happen during the event. The Addison family is just a sacrifice to the games of the people behind the scenes, and we do not know what will happen in the future."After finishing giving instructions to Asher's two trusted subordinates, he quickly followed Valencia to the car. "You took so long. What exactly were you talking about with Ken's secretary and Gerald?" Valencia asked wryly. "Not much, just discussing some small busines

Asher paused for a moment as he wondered if this was related to the mysterious man in front of him, who had just given an important folder to older man Addison."Calm down, Ken. I might know who did it. To find out more clearly, who it is. Immediately investigate the person who has returned the 20 percent of shares in our hands!" Asher ordered."Yes, sir. And one more thing, all members have been assigned to their respective positions, with Gerald directly monitoring the progress.""Good!"Asher disconnected the call. Valencia was again stunned by what Asher was talking about."What are you talking about, Asher?""Addison's shares, which were already 70 percent in our hands, were suddenly forcibly taken back by someone 20 percent. Now Addison's shareholders are tied. Unfortunately, it might be difficult for us to break them back in the future.""No problem, there's still plenty of time and opportunity to destroy that cursed family. We have to wait for that time to come patiently.""Yo

Valencia's chest rumbled. She hated having her feelings toyed with like this. She felt like someone who lost her way and only found dead ends. 'What is wrong with me? And who are my feelings for? Why do they mean so much to my heart? Why are they demanding to have me? Am I unable to escape the snares of this terrible Fate? Between feelings from the past and the present. All at once. Am I that crazy?' Valencia's mind struggled. She continued to run without thinking about her surroundings until her footsteps stopped at a mini park on the side of Addison's residence. The corners of Valencia's eyes, which were already wet, she rubbed roughly and headed for a long bench not far away. It just so happened that the sky was clear tonight, as the moon and stars were faithfully visible despite sometimes hiding behind clouds. Luze's persistence wasn't enough. He followed Valencia to the garden and sat down beside her without argument. "Go away! Can't you give me some time to myself? What a
