The bodyguards' expressions changed drastically when they heard Harold's words.

If they got the same kick, they would surely die, no matter how strong they were.

After hesitating momentarily, the two reluctantly made way for Harold and Marilyn to protect themselves.

“Come on. Let's go in.”

Harold instinctively led Marilyn into the house.

Meanwhile, a sweet sensation spread within Marilyn as Harold grabbed her hand.

In the past, she always questioned the reason for a woman to get married. She believed women did not need a man as long as they were financially independent.

However, her belief was wavering.

If not for the man in front of him, she would have to enter the house through the side gate.


Not only did Harold make her heart flutter, but he also gave her a strong sense of security.

While watching Harold and Marilyn enter the mansion, one of the guards took out a walkie-talkie and switched it to the butler's channel.

“Javion, the dude Marilyn brought back kicked the gate down. What should we do now?” reported the guard to Javion Willis with a frown.

Standing in the mansion's gazebo was a man with a mustache—Javion. He spoke to the guards using the walkie-talkie, “What are you panicking for? I saw everything that happened. Get someone to fix the gate. There's going to be a family banquet at the residence tonight. The other family members will be back soon. It'll leave a bad impression on them if they see it.”

He, too, was shocked after witnessing Harold kicking the gate down.

Nonetheless, he was the Schmidt family's butler. Naturally, he had witnessed all sorts of incidents. He quickly recollected himself and left the gazebo to report to Ruby.

The Schmidt residence was huge. It stretched across fifteen hectares and had many individual mansions built on it.

It was as big as the residence of royalty in the past.

Each one of Zyaire's wives lived in a mansion of their own. Even Zyaire himself had one. There were also houses designated for the housekeepers.

Harold felt as if he had entered an ancient palace the moment he stepped into the residence.

It took Marilyn a twenty-minute walk with Harold before finally arriving at the door of a secluded mansion.

A haggard-looking woman in her fifties was already waiting at the door. One could vaguely see a resemblance of the woman's features on Marilyn's face.

Instantly, Harold knew the woman must be Marilyn's mother and Zyaire's second wife, Jeslyn Lupton.

The moment Marilyn saw the lady, she called out loudly while running forward to hug the latter, “Mom, I'm back!”
