Grace had arrived in the living room. She looked back toward the stairs. Knowing that Louis wasn't chasing her, she snorted.

"He thinks I'm playing around with my words?"

Grace reached into her handbag to get her phone. Shifting her jaw, she waited for someone to answer her call.

"Are you still interested in destroying Louis?" she asked as someone greeted her from the other side of the phone.

A few moments later, she spoke again, "Don't deny it. I know you still have that video. Spread it throughout the whole world right now. I want everyone to know that the girl named Sky Hills is cunning and shameless. I want everyone to side with me and curse her—curse what she and Louis have done."

Silence ensued again, but this time, a thin smile appeared on Grace's face. "Good. I appreciate your courage. I can't wait to see her fall."

After ending the call, Grace returned her phone to her bag. She was about to walk towards the exit. Unexpectedly, someone pulled on her dress. When she looked back

    "Because your mother won't leave if she knows that's my order," Grace answered lightly. "She'll just stay here, and Louis will definitely forbid you from leaving. Your mission to be responsible could be ruined.""So, I can't say that I asked Mommy to go home for responsibility?" Summer shook her head slightly.Grace nodded. "Yes, you should make another excuse. You can say that you miss your home or feel bored here. Up to you. The important thing is you leave without bringing Louis. It's even better if he doesn't know. That way, you can leave without any drama or arguments."Summer was pensive. After a few blinks, she finally let out a heavy sigh. "Okay. I'll do it well. Please remember your promise. Don't spread the video and make Mommy fall."Grace didn't answer yes or no. She just raised her eyebrows, checking the time and the surrounding conditions."Well then, I'll wait for the good news. Don't fail to carry out your responsibilities."Grace turned to leave. Summer just blinked a

    Biting her lip, Summer shook her head. "No, Mommy. I really want to go home.""Why? Aren't you excited about doing a lot of things here? You've made a lot of promises to others. We're going to hang out with Emily tomorrow, right?"Summer blinked listlessly. "Yes, but I really miss Grandpa and Grandma. I want to go home, Mommy. Grandpa and Grandma must miss us too.""Are you sure? Then what about your promises? Don't you like breaking promises?""I can do that another time, Mommy. Now, can you book plane tickets for us to go home tomorrow morning?"Sky fell silent for a moment. Her eyes blinked at her daughter, trying to find a clue in her face."What just happened, Summer? Did you really go to the library?""Yes, Mommy," Summer answered quietly."Did you meet Grace? She's the one who told you to leave?"Summer blinked once, then shook her head with a blank face. "No, Mommy. If I had met her, I would have run away. She's scary. We shouldn't get close to her.""You're not lying, aren't

    "Hello, Louis. You finally care about me again. Have you come to your senses now? Do you want to apologize?" Grace answered in an intimidating voice."You're the one who should apologize, Ace! Do you realize what you've done? You've slandered Sky!" Louis' voice exploded with anger."Slander?" Grace replied in a surprised tone. A second later, her laughter sounded thin and annoying. "I just revealed the truth, Louis. What we witnessed was what happened on the field. Not a single second of the video was faked.""The video wasn't faked, but you deliberately edited it so that Sky looked guilty! Delete the video right now! Don't make the misunderstanding worse," Louis said firmly."I didn't edit it, Louis. I just asked for the truth to be revealed, and I can't delete it. I wasn't the one who uploaded it."Louis closed his eyes to hold back his anger. His blood vessels would burst if he didn't immediately control his emotions."Then tell me ... who uploaded the video," Louis whispered, emph

    After the video sharing platform had gone down, Louis called someone."Hello, Brandon. Are you sleeping?" he greeted his best friend."Of course I am. You don't know what time it is? Even the sun is still hiding in the other hemisphere. What's wrong?" the hoarse voice replied.Louis pursed his lips. He looked a little embarrassed. "Is your private jet available?""Yes. I don't have any plans to travel this week. Why?"Louis tapped his fingers on the table. "Can I borrow it?" he asked with a heavy heart."Did I hear you right? You want to borrow my private jet? Didn't you and Emily always criticize my decision to buy it? You said that private jets are bad for the environment. Their carbon emissions are greater than commercial flights.""Yes, indeed. Private jets are the most polluting form of transport. I wouldn't use them unless it was an emergency like this," Louis explained resignedly."Where are you going with my jet?"Louis tapped the table again. "M City. I need to teach someone

    "Louis?" Sky whispered hoarsely.Louis' hand was cupping her cheek. His smile was thin, and his gaze was sad."What are you doing here?" Sky whispered, glancing at the clock. "You're not sleeping? Why are you dressed like this? Where are you going?""Did I wake you up?" Louis changed the subject. He stroked Sky's cheek with his thumb, his gaze suddenly full of love."Yes. You kissed my forehead. You promised not to touch me as long as you were still Grace's lover, remember?"Louis' face turned sour. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up. I also didn't mean to break my promise. I just wanted to say goodbye.""Where are you going?" Sky repeated her question with more emphasis."I have something to take care of in M City."Sky's eyes widened. "M City? Does it have something to do with our scandal?"Louis nodded. "But you don't need to worry. I will clear up all the misunderstandings. This problem will be over soon, and your reputation will be good again.""How? What are you planning?"Loui

    Upon arriving at M City, Louis immediately called Summer. His heart felt heavy because he didn't have time to say goodbye before leaving.Unfortunately, Summer didn't pick up the phone. That made Louis restless."Is she so busy having fun with Emily that she doesn't have time to pick up my call?" he muttered to himself.After a brief consideration, Louis put his phone in his pocket. "Okay. Maybe I should focus on my mission first.""So, where are we going, Sir?" Omega asked, making the other guards glance at him in surprise."Do you still not understand? Or were you sleeping when I explained it?" Louis replied, making the youngest guard lower his head."Sorry, Sir. I thought you might have changed your mind."Louis snorted. "Kendrick still hasn't held a press conference, and his time is running out. I never joke around when I give warnings. Let's go to his hotel! I can't wait to surprise him."Meanwhile, somewhere else, Summer was still lying weak. An IV line was connected to her hand

    The manager's mouth trembled violently. He wanted to speak, but his tongue was too stiff.It was then the male receptionist spoke up again, "Sir, we didn't mean to get in your way. It's just that the recording is no longer there. It's useless for you to look for it.""If the recording is gone, you guys shouldn't be afraid. Just let me check it with my own eyes. It won't be a problem, right?"The young receptionist lowered her head. Louis' gaze was too intense for him."My apologies, Sir. I just meant to protect the reputation of this hotel. That's one of my duties."Louis nodded. "I can understand that. You are a good employee, but what about your boss?" He shifted his gaze to the side.As the manager's body tensed up again, Louis continued, "If you really care about the reputation of this hotel, you should help me. Don't be afraid of Kendrick. This hotel belongs to his family, not just him. He could be kicked out, and you'd still be safe. Or do you want to be kicked out too?"The man

    "Have you watched the video of Kendrick and the rainbow-haired girl? Now you know who really set me up," Louis stated firmly. Then, he lifted his chin slightly to look more convincing."Kendrick was the mastermind behind my scandal. He deliberately invited me to his hotel bar so he could put drugs in my drink. After I was drunk, he ordered that rainbow-haired girl to take me to a room. You must know what dirty tricks she was going to play. Luckily, Sky came to save me."The comments flooded in again. Everyone was cursing Kendrick. They were now curious about what happened next. How could Sky be pregnant with Louis' child?However, there were still a few people who doubted Louis' statement. They asked for concrete evidence.Luckily, Louis had already thought of that possibility. He continued, "I still haven't managed to get the CCTV footage from five years ago. Therefore, please give me a moment. I will show you the truth soon. While you wait, I hope you can consider the hate speech yo

    Seeing their daughter's pouting face, Sky and Louis chuckled. Their eyes were filled with tears, coated with emotion and pride."Sorry, Honey. Mommy and Daddy had urgent business. We had to turn on airplane mode for a while," Sky said, a little hoarsely."I wanted to show you the sandwiches River and I made. But when I called, your numbers were no longer active. You rarely turn off your phones like yesterday and earlier. That made me worried. I even called the ship to ask about your condition. Luckily, the captain was kind. He promised to ensure your safety. Then, I called you again. Daddy's number was active, but he was busy. River said that instead of me calling you continuously, I'd better pray. That's why I kept praying. And it turned out, River's method worked. Mommy made this video call!"Summer hugged her phone tightly. She didn't care if her mother's phone screen went dark because the camera was covered by her body.Sky laughed faintly in Louis' arms. Louis kissed her head, th

    "Wait!" Louis raised his index finger. His other hand was busy with his phone. A moment later, he showed the captain's contact. "Look at this number! You must recognize it, right? This is Captain Alvarez's number. What do you think will happen if I call him?"Pablo's eyes widened when he saw Louis calling the number. His body stiffened. Before his teammates realized the vibration of the phone in his pocket, he shouted, "What are you waiting for? Arrest them!"Louis gave the phone to Sky and took a stance. When the officers approached, he threw them away.Because the situation was getting chaotic, Pablo began to lose patience. He took out the only remaining gun behind his waist. Just before he opened fire, a bullet shot through his leg."Aaargh!" Pablo's groan echoed.Everyone was startled. When they turned to Pablo, the man had bent over in pain. His pants were starting to get wet with red.While the officers were stunned, Louis grabbed the gun from Pablo's hand. The next second, they

    Suddenly, Louis grabbed Sky's hand and pulled her behind the wall next to the door. At that moment, the sound of a sensor was heard. When the door opened, Louis hit the hand that was pointing a gun forward. It easily fell to the floor."You!" Pablo was wide-eyed. He launched a counterattack. However, Louis blocked it effortlessly.The two men then competed in strength. Fortunately, Louis was superior. After a while, he managed to bend Pablo down, and the security officers arrived in the room."Sir, please arrest him! He has been working with Draco and Angelica. He is the one who framed me and my husband!" Sky pointed with round eyes.Two officers moved closer to Pablo. However, instead of securing the criminal, they arrested Louis. Sky was wide-eyed watching Pablo free."Sir, you have the wrong person! It is not my husband you should arrest, but your teammate! He is not an ordinary security officer, but a criminal!" Sky shouted loudly.Seeing her confusion, Pablo laughed faintly. With

    Louis put the tray on the table with great caution. Not because he was afraid of spilling the food, but because he was afraid that Draco would attack suddenly.Fortunately, Draco did not realize his disguise. Louis turned to help Sky. That's when Draco cleared his throat."Please put the tray here," he pointed to the bed beside him.Louis and Sky spontaneously glanced over. Their eyes were fixed on Draco's strange way of standing. His leg was clearly still sore.Not wanting to arouse suspicion, Louis nodded. He followed Draco's order. But when he was putting the tray on the bed, Draco spoke, "Wait."Louis froze. Sky also held her breath."Are you an intern?" he asked Sky.Sky nodded."What's your name?" Draco's eyes narrowed.Realizing that Draco was starting to get suspicious, Louis finally took action. He attacked him, bending both of his knees so that he groaned in pain.At that moment, Sky gagged Draco's mouth with a cloth. Then, while Louis held Draco's hands behind his waist, sh

    "How was it?" Louis asked when they met in their cabin again."Pablo searched around here," Sky pointed to a row of cabins, one floor below theirs.Louis patted his wife's shoulder proudly. "Good, Sky. You are the best."Then, Louis took his laptop. He checked the CCTV footage of the ship on that floor. It wasn't difficult for him to gain access.Not long after, he found CCTV footage that had a time gap. Previously, they only found CCTV footage of when Draco came out of their room with a limping leg that was bandaged carelessly. He was last seen when he entered the elevator.But then, Draco seemed to have never left the elevator. Even though Louis checked the CCTV on every floor, the criminal was nowhere to be found.Now, with the oddness of the CCTV footage, they had a new clue."I knew it! They couldn't have manipulated all the cameras perfectly. There must have been something missed," he exclaimed happily.Sky looked closer. She checked the time gap that Louis had found. "Wow! How

    "Oh? Why is Mommy calling so early? Shouldn't they still be in the Drake Passage? What does she want to report if she hasn't met the penguins yet?" she muttered before pressing the phone to her chubby cheek."Good morning, Mommy," she greeted sweetly."Morning, Honey. Have you washed your face?"Summer nodded. "Yeah, I was just about to go see River. We were planning to prepare breakfast together. Sandwiches that are rich in nutrients and fiber! We'll put lots of vegetables in them!"Sky chuckled at her daughter's cheerfulness. That's when Louis joined in, "Good morning, Summer. You sound really excited today.""Morning, Daddy! Yes, I'm excited because I'm sure it's going to be a beautiful day. How about you two? Are you having fun?"Louis and Sky exchanged glances. After a silent discussion, Sky finally opened the conversation, "Summer, can we ask you something?"Summer's eyes widened. Her mother rarely spoke in such a serious tone. "What's up, Mommy?""What did you do with River yes

    That day, they spent the rest of the night in their own cabin. There were no security officers guarding the door after they moved. When morning came, Sky was ready with the scenario that Louis had designed. She went alone to meet Angelica."What do you want here? Insult me? Announce that you have won?" Angelica greeted her sarcastically.Sky shook her head slowly. "I came here to ask. Why did you do that?""Do what?""Trap Louis. Who ordered you?" Sky put on a curt look.Angelica's lips pursed. "No one. I myself want your husband. You don't deserve him."Sky snorted. Her lopsided smile looked mysterious. "How much did he pay you?""Pay what?" Angelica raised her eyebrows."If you tell me the truth, I can double the fee. Or, do you want to move up a class? Louis can help you get into a more famous magazine."&nb

    "Okay. We'll do it right away," the security officer said before leaving to carry out his duties. Sky was finally able to lay Louis on the bed."Does your head still hurt?" she whispered while stroking his hair.Louis nodded. Sky smiled slightly. She didn't expect the incident five years ago to repeat. She managed to save Louis from a wild woman again."Then, sleep. You'll be better after you wake up.""Please stay," Louis asked while holding her hand.Sky smiled amusedly. "I'm not going anywhere. Just sleep.""Okay."While putting Sky's hand on his chest, Louis fell asleep again. Sky could only stare at his handsome face in silence."The scenario played by Draco and Angelica is similar to what happened before. Is the mastermind behind this incident the same person? But, Kendrick is in prison. How could he hire people

    Angelica glanced at Sky cynically. Seeing what Sky was pointing at her, she grimaced."Damn it," she cursed.As she could not accept that her mission had failed so quickly, she opened the drawer and grabbed a gun. She thought that was the only way to get rid of Sky.But it turned out, when she wanted to attack, Sky was already so close. In just one movement, Sky managed to grab the gun from her."You!" Angelica's anger boiled. She was on the verge of despair."Just surrender, Angelica. Whatever you do, you can't take Louis from me," Sky said firmly.That was when the security officers came. Seeing Sky pointing a gun, they all stared wide-eyed. "Mrs. Harper?""I'm not the bad guy here, but she is! She kidnapped my husband!" Sky shouted without lowering her gun. She did not want to be off guard.Suddenly, Angelica put o
