CHAPTER 222~3RD PERSON'S POV~“Whoa, that was a really long and heartbreaking story. Lord Robbert didn't recover his memory until the day he died?” Mary asked. “No, Mary. And if it wasn't for your aunt, Miss Nicole, I wouldn't have recovered mine. I didn't know that the consequence of healing someone I loved would be to lose my memory of everything that had to do with our relationship—how we met and our life together—all lost. I don't regret saving his life, though; even if I knew the consequences, I would have done the same thing,” Edith replied.“There were times when he'd say he was sure he knew me somehow, or he'd seen me somewhere before, but couldn't remember where or when. He struggled with his memories until it almost drove him insane. I grew very worried about him; for some reason, even though I didn't remember him as a lover, I knew I had to stay by him through his remaining days. He finally died after he brought Anaya home, and there was nothing I could do to help,” Edith

CHAPTER 224~3RD PERSON’S POV~“You told me things would get better if I changed the rules and became a nicer person. Nothing changed,” Cynthia said, crying profusely with her forehead resting on the table. “Hey, I didn’t think it was this serious. It seems there’s someone who wants you dead, whether you’re a good person or not. We're going to have to report this case to the alpha immediately so he can send his warrior wolves to investigate,” Marie said, trying her best to comfort her.“No! Please, not the alpha. He’ll take my position as assistant head maid away from me for my own safety. If that happens, my enemies will finally get the chance to treat me like I treat them—like pests,” Cynthia said, raising her head quickly. She leaned forward and said softly, “You have to help me, Marie. I’ll do anything you ask of me; just help me this once.”“Hmmm,” Marie pondered on her words for a moment. This girl in front of Marie was nothing short of a proud little demon, and she disliked he

CHAPTER 226~3RD PERSON’S POV~It was very early in the morning at the Mortimer mansion. A cold wind blew through its dark passages, and a deafening silence washed over the entire building, creating a very unsettling and eerie atmosphere. The bell hadn't been rung yet, so all the maids were still in their rooms, sleeping—except one.Cynthia walked slowly through a passage in the building with a lamp in her right hand. Her face looked very unsettled, and her heart raced with fear. This was her third time carrying out her morning inspections, and she wasn't even focused on that at all. All that kept going through her mind was that a monster would jump out of the darkness at any moment to take her life.She turned in different directions as she walked slowly. She suddenly heard some footsteps behind her, and she quickly turned around. She raised her lamp to increase the reach of its light beam, then spoke softly.“Hello, is anyone there?” Her voice echoed for a few seconds before vanishi

CHAPTER 228~3RD PERSON’S POV~A black luxury car drove into Steven’s mansion in the evening. The car had tinted windows, so the people inside could not be seen, but the warrior wolves who guarded the gates knew who the owner was, so they just let them pass as soon as they arrived. The car stopped at a parking area in the garden, and the door at the driver's seat slowly swung open. Alpha Derren stepped out of the car slowly, looking around the gardens. He wore dark shades and a black turtleneck sweater with long sleeves. He wore black silk trousers and shiny black shoes. He walked over to the other side of the car and pulled open the door. Maria stepped out of the car in a long black dress with a gown that split open from the waist down to her lower shin, revealing her black jean trousers and black high heels. Her locks were tied together in a ponytail, and she wore black lipstick and light makeup. The dress sparkled with small traces of gemstones randomly placed all around it.Alph

CHAPTER 230~3RD PERSON’S POV~Steven and Lunaris walked back to Derren and Maria. Lunaris carried the large teddy bear in her hands, and Steven’s hands were in his pocket. His eyes were focused on the ground, and his face was expressionless. As they approached Derren and Maria, he slowly raised his head.Steven's and Derren's eyes suddenly made contact. As if communicating with each other, they both smiled. “I think it's time we moved on to the next game,” Derren said.Steven nodded, then forcefully collected Maria's stuffed deer from her. "Here, Lunaris, you can have this one too,” Steven said with a soft smile, turning to Lunaris.“Hey, that's mine!” Maria exclaimed angrily. Derren stepped in front of her, saying, “Don’t worry, Maria, I'll handle this.” He turned to Steven and continued clearing his throat and folding his arms against his chest. “You better hand over that stuffed animal or I'll...” He got stuck; he couldn't remember his lines. “You will what?” Steven asked.“I’
