Scowling fiercely, Callum stared at the soul-suppressing charm that spontaneously burst into flames in the video. He did not believe in the existence of supernatural powers. He was certain that somebody had done something to the talisman. For example, it could have been dusted with white phosphorus, which would spontaneously combust when it came into contact with air. That would create a supernatural atmosphere to fool others into believing it.

But, why would that person do that? Do they want the ritual to fail in front of everybody? However, they probably did not expect me to hire somebody to throw a firecracker at the altar. Did that disrupt and foil their plans? Is that why they killed the grandmaster? To make the incident bigger? Besides, who could it be? It’s obvious that they have infiltrated the Ronney Group. What is their purpose? Is it Sophia?

Callum could not figure it out. Still, a death had occurred at the Ronney Group. As a consequence of that incident, the Ronney Fashion Week that finally received approval from the authorities became a pipe dream again. The authorities rescinded the event application, and the Ronney Group was forced to shut down for several days to rectify and improve their company policies.

In the end, Henry finally managed to get himself out of the mess with the help of his best lawyer. However, this incident had come as a huge and unexpected blow to him—so much so that even the event had been bungled. For some reason, he blamed it all on Sophia. If it’s not Sophia, then it’s Callum and Cade! It’s also possible that they’re working together! Damn it; Callum and Cade should just die! They are only a few years older anyway! What’s so great about being the eldest son?! Mom promised Ryan and me that the entire Ronney Group would belong to us! Callum and Cade are just temporary placeholders working on our behalf! Ryan and I are the true future kings of the Ronney Group!

Anna was holding General in her arms as she watched the snow in the Royal Garden of the Ronney Palace. Looking at the scenery in front of her, she felt extremely melancholic. The Yard Family had brought their entire heritage over to Ronney City—even this Royal Garden was an exact copy of the Royal Garden of the Imperial Palace. Still, she couldn’t help feeling that the scenery here was not as beautiful as the one in Bayside City.

After going back to Cethos, she finally understood what homesickness felt like. The Yard Family originated from Cethos. Moreover, she grew up in Cethos until she was found and taken back into the family at the age of 20. Although she had lost all her memories from before she was 20, she subconsciously resisted trying to recall those memories… It was probably very painful and filled with sad memories. Since it’s painful, I should just forget them.

Over the years, she had subconsciously avoided thinking about those suppressed memories. However, she started dreaming about something this year. She dreamt that she was in terrible pain as something tore through her body and slid out of her. There were two of them. They felt soft and hot, and they were moving too… It felt like two babies! Unfortunately, the doctor told her that she suffered from stunted growth. Although she had her ovaries, she did not have a womb. So, it was impossible for her to bear children. Even her biological sons were birthed through a surrogate mother. Having never experienced the feeling of giving birth before, she always felt incomplete as a mother. But, in that dream… it felt like I was giving birth. Moreover, it felt very realistic—it felt like it really happened! Could those dreams be due to my yearning?

All of a sudden, she wanted to go back to Cethos again. She wanted to see the scenery in Cethos, eat her fill of Cethosian dishes, and meet somebody in Cethos. But, I don’t even know who it is that I want to meet. She had never felt this feeling before. It appeared suddenly after her return to Cethos and had been growing stronger and stronger ever since.
