Author: Your Candy
Alan paused with the wineglass in hand, then took another long swallow.

Nash said, "Ms. Carter has been kneeling for a long time. She refused to let us tell you. She says this is her atonement, her deserved punishment. But if she keeps kneeling, I'm afraid her body won't hold up. She gave birth not long ago."

Alan frowned and rose, moving to the window.

Through the snow-blurred glass, he saw Sandra kneeling upright in the center of the courtyard. Snow had already settled thickly on her should

    Isolde watched Aurelia in silence.At last, she spoke. "Afraid of blood? Which of your eyes saw me afraid? I just think it's dirty."She let out a soft laugh and looked at Aurelia with a playful tilt of her head. "Or are you hoping that I am afraid of blood, Lady Aurelia? In that case, it would make me seem even more unworthy of the position. You would still have a chance at succeeding the family head, wouldn't you?"Aurelia's pupils contracted sharply. She had not expected Isolde to speak so directly. If others believed this, how would they see her?Aurelia quickly arranged her features into an innocent expression. "Young sis… I didn't mean it that way…"Isolde sneered, "If that's not what you meant, then what is with all this 'sister' talk? As the legitimate successor, am I to be reduced to the second heiress? According to the family's ancient rules of succession, the title passes to the eldest daughter."Aurelia's face turned green at once. Although most of the family members

    The more Aurelia spoke, the more it fueled the crowd’s indignation.They had not even met Isolde, yet the entire family already harbored resistance and disgust toward her.Even Eleanor, Isolde's biological mother, did not say a word in her defense.Mimi's face turned ashen as she ground her teeth. "Lady Isolde, these people have gone too far. I'll go teach them a lesson…""No need." Isolde withdrew her gaze, her tone flat. "Mimi, take me to see the family head."The family head was the most powerful person in the Valeciels. Her word was law, far outweighing any heated explanation.Mimi looked at Isolde with admiration. "I'll take you."Just as Isolde was about to leave, someone noticed them. "Eh? Who's that next to Mimi? How did outsiders get here?!"The crowd's attention snapped toward them, landing on Isolde and Bruce with the wariness and hostility reserved for intruders."Mimi, according to the family rules, outsiders are not permitted entry. Who are they?"Mimi had inten

    Her brow furrowed, her eyes filled with heartache and anxiety. "Aurelia, don't you understand how precious this medicine is? There are only three in all of the family, and the family head gave this to you to save your life in a critical moment."It's equivalent to a second life. This child is certainly pitiable, but your safety matters more than anything else. Sweetie, listen to your mother. Don't make me worry about you, all right?"Aurelia smiled gently, acting like a spoiled child before the beautiful woman. "Mother… Don't worry. I've always stayed by your side, and I won't face any life-threatening danger. This medicine isn't really necessary."Besides, if I don't save this child, I may be too upset to sleep tonight. Wouldn't that worry and break your heart?"The beautiful woman knit her brows. "But—""Mother, you understand me best. Don't stop me, okay? I promise I'll stay by your side, healthy and safe, for the rest of my life."Faced with Aurelia's pleading, the woman's lo

    Several pieces of shredded flesh lay nearby, indistinguishable as to which internal organs they had come from.The child lay motionless, with almost no rise or fall in his chest.A young couple knelt beside him. The woman sobbed so violently that she could not straighten her back, while the man repeatedly slammed his forehead against the ground with a rhythmic thud."Archon Valecion, you have a Regeneration Pill. I beg you, please use it to save the child. I will serve you like a slave for the rest of my life to repay you!"Several elders with white hair and beards stood at the front of the crowd.The man leading them wore a solemn expression. He remained silent for a long time before finally speaking. "The Regeneration Pill… There are only three in all of the Valeciel family, and it is my means of staying alive."He paused and looked away. "I want to save your child as well, but the Regeneration Pill is too precious. Once it is used, there will be no replacement. I performed gre

    Deep in the ice fields, bottomless crevasses began to appear. The terrain was so dangerous that even expedition teams would turn back at this point and keep their distance. Yet the snowmobile pressed on.The driver steered through the narrow fissures at speed, weaving with precision.Isolde watched as the ice along the edges of nearby crevasses cracked and collapsed just after the snowmobile passed, chasing after them like an avalanche.The sight was enough to make anyone's heart leap into their throat.The snowmobile raced forward. After crossing countless perilous gaps, it suddenly dipped and entered a hidden ice rift.Overhead, two massive ice mountains leaned toward each other. The layered ice looked ready to collapse at any moment, creating a suffocating sense of pressure.Isolde's curiosity deepened. 'Where, exactly, have the Valeciels built? In such a harsh expanse of ice and snow, where nothing seems to sustain life, how do they survive? Do they rely solely on their cold-

    Mimi smiled, the expression deepening the lines on her face. "Lady Isolde, the Valeciels' people take special medicine from a young age to strengthen their constitution. Being unaffected by heat or cold is the most basic result."Isolde's eyes widened.Dozens of degrees below zero, and they wore only a single layer? It was nothing short of a scientific miracle.It was no wonder the Valeciels could settle in a place like the Boreas, where no one else dared to tread. When one's medical skills defied reason, one could afford to be willful."I can take this medicine too, right?" Her interest piqued. "How long does it take to improve one's constitution?"Mimi regarded her with affectionate amusement. "People in the Valeciels begin taking it in childhood and improve gradually. It hasn't been tried on adults yet, but don't worry, Lady Isolde. Once we enter the family, the most powerful physicians will work together to condition your body.""The most powerful physicians in the family wil

    Alan had run all over Rosta for Isolde, poured in 150 million dollars, and stayed awake for two days and two nights. Yet this was what he received in return. She treated him with utter coldness.He wanted to question her, but all he could see was her resolute, indifferent back.She crossed the dis

    Just then, the doorbell rang.Bruce was not home. Isolde was alone and too lazy to cook, so she had ordered takeout.She assumed the delivery had arrived. She hurried over and opened the door, only to find Alan standing there.He held an elegant food container. "Isolde, takeout isn't healthy. I s

    Bruce: [The child is not Alan's. A paternity test is useless.]Martin: [Two audio clips from Isolde are not strong enough. Alan is far too cautious, and there is a high chance we will never obtain direct evidence of adultery. (lighting-a-cigarette-in-melancholy.jpg)]Bruce: [If it does not exist,

    "Actually… I do have something…" Isolde spoke slowly as she walked toward Bruce, step by step, her fingers resting casually on the solid arm exposed above the water.The warmth and firmness of his skin made her fingertips burn, as if touched by flame.Instinct told her to pull back, but when the c
