"Stupid fool! So, you called me here just to accompany you for drinks?"Richard grumbled in annoyance at what Edward had done to him. 30 minutes ago, his friend had contacted him, informing him that he was in a bit of an emergency situation at a nightclub.Not wanting anything dangerous to happen, Richard postponed his bedtime and immediately sped his car to the location where Edward was supposed to be.However, instead of finding his friend in a critical condition, Richard found Edward sitting comfortably in one of the VIP rooms, holding several glasses of whiskey in his hands."I needed a friend, Rich. I couldn't call Kenzi. Your other friend doesn't like drinking." Edward defended himself. He continued to gulp down the drinks that were already prepared."Ugh!" Richard scoffed. "Why didn't you just call Kiano? He can handle you just fine!"Among Kiano, Kenzi, Richard, and Edward, the ones who often spent time at nightclubs were Kiano and Edward. Both of them had similar habits and h

Chloe, upon Samuel's advice, followed Edward and Hans to the police station. Both of them were curious about why her husband suddenly instructed the police to arrest Nicholas, who, notably, had been Edward's trusted person for a long time.In her mind, did this man have any connection to the chaos that occurred in the meeting room a few days ago? Or perhaps there were other issues that Nicholas had caused, leading Edward to report him to the police."Ah... you're curious too, it seems?" Edward, standing in front of the interrogation room, remarked to Chloe as she had just arrived, his tone dripping with sarcasm. He seemed quite pleased to be cold and harsh with her."Ed... please stop acting like this. I know I've disappointed you," Chloe said.Edward smiled. "I'm just behaving as I should. Just like how you used to treat me."Chloe chose not to respond any further. Moments later, Hans called from inside the investigation room, "Ed, you need to come in. The officer wants you to give a

Edward is casually enjoying his lunch with Hans and Richard at a renowned restaurant. Today, he intentionally invited both of them to meet up.There's nothing particularly important going on. He simply needs some friends to share stories with. The recent series of events he's experienced has unavoidably caused him some stress and deep thinking.Fortunately, Hans can be relied upon. The Nicholas case has been handled well. The man who served as Edward's assistant for the past few years is now in jail, awaiting trial. As for Damian, there have been no further updates on his search. However, Edward is eager to see his cousin face the consequences of his actions."My people have been moving from Scotland to Ireland. Seems like your cousin is so slippery it's hard to catch him," Hans says while sipping his coffee.Edward sighs. For some reason, he has always disliked his cousin. Damian has caused so many problems, especially by getting involved with some mafia outside of England. The Alpha

Edward blinked his eyes. Turning to the side, he found Chloe sitting and screaming hysterically. The aura of fear on her face was evident.Quickly, Edward straightened his body and embraced Chloe, trying to calm her down and ease her fear. He knew exactly what had caused his wife to be like this."Hush now," Edward whispered softly while gently stroking Chloe's head and shoulders. "Don't be afraid, I'm right here beside you. You'll be safe with me," he said, trying to reassure her.Chloe moved restlessly. "That man touched me. I even let him enjoy my body," she expressed her frustration. "I feel so disgusted, Ed!"Edward tightened his embrace even more. He could feel Chloe's trembling body, consumed by fear. "No," Edward replied. "No one dares to touch you. I will always protect you."In Edward's arms, Chloe shook her head and spoke softly, "Please... don't leave me again. Don't ask me to stay away from you. I'm really scared."Edward loosened the hug slightly to see Chloe's face. He

The white-themed living room was beautifully transformed this afternoon, adorned with an abundance of flowers. Various kinds of cakes and heavy dishes, along with an array of drinks, were neatly arranged on every corner of the table.Everyone seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the celebration party organized by the only child of the Martin family. Amidst the excitement, laughter, and classical music playing in the background, the atmosphere exuded an intimate feeling for everyone present.However, in the midst of the created buzz, everyone's attention was slightly diverted when Edward intentionally asked Sisilia, the house assistant, to bring someone along to join them.Chloe and Dylan both showed surprise on their faces. The appearance of a middle-aged woman, whom Edward brought in the middle of the party, captured their attention.Especially Dylan Arley. Feeling certain about what he saw, the middle-aged man immediately walked over to her. Without hesitation, he embraced the woman Edw
