"Keep someone on her tail. Don't let her cause any trouble," I ordered.

"Yes, sir."

After I ended the call, Noelle looked up at me, her eyes filled with concern. "What happened?"

I smiled and stroked her hair gently. "Nothing. Just a minor issue."

"Really?"

"Really. Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you."

Only then did Noelle relax, resting her head against my shoulder again.

When we got home, I carefully laid her down on the bed and tucked her in.

She held onto my hand,

    Derek went flying like a kite with its string snapped. He crashed hard onto the ground, coughing up blood.The elite team immediately rushed in, pinned him down, and cuffed him.I bent down to pick up the handgun, then walked to Maeve and pulled the cloth from her mouth.She gasped desperately, her eyes filled with terror and regret as she stared at me. "M-Marshal… I was wrong…"I looked at her coldly. "Where's the data?"She trembled as she pulled a USB drive from her pocket. "I-In here…"I took it and passed it to one of my men. "Check it."He took the drive and plugged it into a secure device. A moment later, he nodded. "The data is complete. Everything checks out."Only then did I turn back to Maeve."Do you know what happens to traitors?" I asked.Maeve began shaking uncontrollably. She dropped to her knees, begging desperately. "I was wrong! I'm sorry! Please, forgive me!"I said nothing and turned to look at Derek, who was still subdued."Take him back and interrogat

    I nodded. "She has someone backing her."I rose to my feet and walked over to the window, gazing out at the city lights in the distance."And whoever it is knows the Sutton family and the Hall of Guardians very well. They were able to help Maeve disappear and even put her in touch with buyers in Valen."They're clearly no ordinary accomplice."Noelle paled slightly. "Then what should we do?"I turned to her and smiled. "Don't worry. I've sent people to investigate. Whoever that person is, I'll drag them out into the light."The moment I finished speaking, my phone rang again.This time, it was the Chief of Intelligence from the Hall of Guardians."Marshal, we found him. The person helping Maeve Sutton hide is the Sutton family's second steward, Derek Anderson."I frowned. "Anderson? He's worked for the Sutton family for 20 years.""That's right. But he has another identity.""What is it?""He's an operative from Valen who was planted inside the Sutton family. He's been unde

I swear."Smiling, she closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.I watched her sleeping face, warmth filling my heart. This woman had endured too much because of me.From now on, I wouldn't allow any suffering to touch her again.The next morning, I was awoken by the shrill ringing of my phone.When I answered, Robert's anxious voice came through. "Marshal Latham, bad news! Maeve is missing!"I

    Noelle hesitated before saying softly, "Maybe we should just let it go…"I shook my head. "No. They need to learn their lesson."I looked at the portly man at the forefront of the crowd. "You. You were the one who called my wife a country bumpkin earlier, right?"The man shuddered and immediately stammered, "I shouldn't have run my mouth! I was wrong! Please forgive me!"I said calmly, "If you know you shouldn't run your mouth, then slap yourself a hundred times."The man froze for a moment. Then, without hesitation, he raised his hand and struck his own cheek.The sharp sound of each slap rang through the hall.He put all his strength into every blow until his lips began to bleed.The other guests watched in horror, not daring to make a sound. By the time he finished all 100 slaps, his entire face was swollen beyond recognition.Only then did I nod in satisfaction and turn to the next person."You. You said my wife wasn't worthy of entering the Sutton family."The woman imm

    "The Sutton family owes you this much," Robert said solemnly. "And the only way the family can survive is if everything is placed in your hands."He turned to me, his eyes filled with pleading. "Marshal Latham, what do you think?"I was silent for a moment before nodding."Fine."Only then did Robert let out a sigh of relief. He immediately instructed the lawyer to prepare the paperwork.The surrounding guests exchanged glances. They all had the same thought—the Sutton family now had a new head.…Robert was nothing if not efficient. Less than half an hour later, the lawyer returned with a thick stack of documents.Robert personally laid them out in front of Noelle, keeping his tone respectful. "Noelle, these are all of the assets under the Sutton name, including company shares, real estate, and investment funds. The total value is approximately 13.7 billion dollars."Sign here, and all of it will be yours."Noelle stared at the documents before her, still at a loss.Just a

    Penny followed suit, pressing her forehead to the ground. "Marshal Latham, we were blind and foolish. Please be the bigger man and let us go!"Maeve was so terrified that she lost control of her bladder. She collapsed on the floor, sobbing hysterically.The surrounding guests drew sharp breaths as they watched the scene unfold.Just moments ago, they had been laughing along at Noelle. Now, they realized just how foolish they had been.Robert turned to me and asked respectfully, "Marshal Latham, how would you like to handle them?"I looked at the three people on the ground, my gaze cold as ice. "Just now, you told my wife to get rid of our child, didn't you?"Fred shuddered violently and immediately shook his head. "N-No! That was just nonsense! Please don't take it seriously!"Penny joined in, crying, "Marshal Latham, we spoke without thinking! We're sorry! Please have some mercy!"I ignored their pleas and turned to Noelle."Noelle, what do you say?"Noelle bit her lip, her
