Vivianne glanced at her husband, his brow furrowed. "Do you know him?""A former classmate," Beckett replied, but his gaze remained on Laurel's hand holding Vivianne's palm."Sorry, man. I didn’t know," Laurel chuckled, quickly releasing Vivianne. "Your girlfriend?"Beckett raised his right hand to show their wedding ring, and Laurel's lips parted in surprise. "Damn! You’re married! I will report this to everyone later!""Maybe they already know. You’re just not watching the news," Beckett shrugged, placing a hand on Vivianne's waist as if asserting that she belonged to him and no one else could claim her.Vivianne smiled slightly at that. Even though Laurel, the guy in front of them, was handsome, she would still choose Beckett."What are you doing here?" Beckett asked Laurel again."For fun, of course. Look, so many pretty girls are out here," Laurel grinned, and Vivianne realized he was a playboy but still had a somewhat intimidating aura. "But I should also ask you the same thing.

Like Vivianne, Alfred's men were also surprised to see Beckett pointing his gun at them. His gaze was sharp and menacing, causing them to step back slightly. No one spoke to them, afraid that Beckett might pull the trigger and kill them all. While the servants didn't know the true nature of the young man, the guards did. They also knew how brutal Beckett could be towards his enemies. He was no longer afraid of blood, and he was willing to do anything for Vivianne."Lower your weapon. They're becoming more tense with you pointing the gun at us," Vivianne ordered her husband, glancing around anxiously. "Mom will worry if she hears gunshots downstairs.""Then tell them to drop their guns first, because I'm not planning to be vulnerable while all their guns are pointing at us… Especially you," Beckett replied, still focused ahead, watching the movements of each opponent.But no one lowered their guns, so Beckett became even more alert. Tension filled the silence between them. It was onl

“The child is back here in our country, so it’s impossible for him to be safe here.”Beckett furrowed his brow in confusion. “It’s impossible. Vivianne made sure that Dylan would be adopted in another country so Alfred won’t be able to find him. It’s been a long time since that happened, and I haven’t heard anything from our people.”“It just happened recently, that’s why you haven’t heard anything, and Alfred is more cunning than you think,” Ella replied, her voice weak. “His adoptive parents rejected him before, so he was sent back here. I overheard their conversation while pretending to sleep, and I’m sure Alfred had something to do with it.”Beckett gritted his teeth. Alfred really won’t stop until he gets what he wants. He was never content with what he had… and Alfred always fulfilled his promises.Alfred promised himself to kill the child, and Beckett will do everything to prevent it.“Save Dylan…” Ella whispered as she held both of Beckett’s hands. She gently stroked them. “I

Dylan is wounded and very scared. He is huddled in a corner, clearly avoiding people. He even keeps his distance from those who saved him. It seems he's traumatized by the pain he's experienced. Vivianne suddenly feels a pang in her heart upon seeing Dylan's state. She couldn't help but feel the pain in her heart because of it. She crouches on the floor, looking at Dylan. "Dylan..." she calls to the child, but to Vivianne's surprise, Dylan suddenly moves away and presses himself tighter against the corner of the chair. "I-It's me, Vivianne. Don't you remember me?" she adds, her voice trembling. Dylan doesn't look at her before he moves away, so his eyes widen when he hears what Vivianne says. The child slowly turns to Vivianne to see if she's telling the truth. "Vivianne..." Dylan calls out in a weak tone. He's still scared, but unlike earlier, there's a glimmer of hope in his eyes now. He felt hope that he was safe now... and nothing bad would happen to him because Vivianne was

After a few minutes, they finally arrived at Agrianthropos City. Beckett talked to a few people there before they entered completely.Vivianne followed Beckett like a child because of the size of the place, as if she might get lost.Vivianne glanced around as they walked. There were people cleaning the streets, selling their products, and doing other things just like ordinary people. That wasn't what she expected.She thought that because there were bad people here, she would see bad deeds like in their organization.There's no time for slouching, smiling, or even resting. It's all about work there, and if they talk to others, it should only be about work too.Vivianne also thought that the place only looked ethereal from the inside since they were hiding their real identities, but it’s not the case. The place is really beautiful.Ordinary, yet peaceful… Something she didn't expect.“A penny for your thoughts?”Vivianne blinked and snapped back to reality when Beckett spoke. There, sh
