At that moment, the masculine charisma oozed in those words Felix said could make anyone fall for him.Yvonne was no different, but she didn't forget that certain things remained true."Listen to me, Felix! If you dare show up at my wedding, you will become the person I hate most for the rest of my life."With that, she left. She was overwhelmed by sadness. Who wouldn't want happiness? But not everyone was qualified to have it.Even if Felix's passionate speech was sincere, putting aside Nala, just the Walsh family in Aleshire alone was an opponent Felix couldn't fight with.Rather than embarking on a perilous journey together, she preferred the ones she loved to live a peaceful and safe life.Having said everything that needed to be said, Felix didn't chase after her. He would fulfill his promise on the wedding day.He hadn't walked far before he was blocked by Aimee and Finnley."You don't seem to take my warning seriously."Finnley's expression was cold as he fixed his gaze

"Felix, don't bother with that fool. Let's go have a couple of drinks," George suggested.Felix didn't refuse them. He had nothing else to do at the moment, so he went along for a casual chat to pass the time."I heard that Sherlyn will be performing an opening dance for Mr. Holt Senior. I wonder who her male partner is. I couldn't find out," George said offhandedly, making Ryan chuckle."I'm not sure, either, but it definitely won't be an ordinary man. With the kind of background Sherlyn has, do you think she would pick a nobody for the opening dance? I suspect it's very likely her future husband."Since the topic was brought up, Felix couldn't help but be curious. "Why have I never heard of any of you wanting to pursue Sherlyn?"Sherlyn had a prominent family background. Ernest, though retired, still wielded influence, and Isaac was a general at the peak of his career. How could no one be interested? From a certain perspective, marrying Sherlyn might even be better than marryi

Dressed in a pink gown, Sherlyn stepped forward with a confident and graceful smile. She looked dazzlingly radiant under the spotlight. No matter how many beautiful women were in the banquet hall, Sherlyn was undoubtedly the most captivating one at that moment.Many of the young men were mesmerized by her beauty, but it was regrettable that the magnificent woman before them was Sherlyn, and they didn't even stand a chance to pursue her.Sherlyn approached Ernest, lifted her skirt, and did a curtsy."Grandpa, I offer this dance to wish you boundless blessings and a long life."Ernest smiled warmly and nodded slightly."Please welcome my dance partner, Felix."George and Ryan, who were applauding, halted abruptly. They watched in stunned silence as Felix walked past them and took Sherlyn's hand.The music started, and the two started dancing, moving as if they were a match made in heaven.But many in the room had not yet recovered from their shock. They couldn't believe that Fe

Around 11:00 pm in a park near the Serenity Manor, Felix was strolling by the lakeside with Sherlyn."Felix, thank you for dancing with me today. I was really happy."Now dressed in jeans and a white T-shirt, Sherlyn had a completely different style."There's no need to thank me."At that moment, Sherlyn stopped walking and looked at Felix. "I know you don't have romantic feelings for me, but I can wait. After all, I never planned on getting married soon anyway."Felix sighed. Being fancied by women was sometimes a burden. Each refusal felt like adding another heartbroken person to the city, and that was the last thing he wanted.Just as he was about to speak, Sherlyn tiptoed and kissed him lightly on the lips, like a dragonfly skimming the water."Remember. I'll be waiting for you."Felix shook his head as he watched her run off, at a loss for words.…In another part of the villa, Isaac was sitting across from Ernest. "Dad, according to you, is it possible that Felix won't

In an instant, Felix felt the shadow of death looming over him. The last time he experienced such a feeling was at the hands of Vilebane."Averill, you really got me into trouble this time!" he thought.He never expected that Averill would not be protecting him in secret."Madam Spring, you've misunderstood. I have no ties with the Summers family anymore. Why can't you just let me go?" Felix spoke not out of fear of death but because dying like this felt utterly unfair.A faint smile appeared on Madam Spring's face as she kept her cane raised. It was fortunate that she hadn't struck yet. With her strength, she could end Felix's life in a split second."With a backbone like yours, it's a wonder that a proud woman like Xena would ever be involved with you."Hearing this, Felix felt as if he had caught something. "It seems that you know what's going on, huh?"The cane lowered, and Madam Spring's smile deepened. "I never imagined that a man like you could stir up two heartless men.

"Ha! Remember, you only have three months. Only three months…" Madam Spring reminded.Standing dazed in the wind, Felix looked troubled. He had already given up hope of finding a way to remove whatever strange substance he had swallowed. After all, Madam Spring was so confident. She knew Gerald. Why would she make a move that wouldn't work?Back at home, Felix thought over the situation. The only option was to take things one step at a time. Overthinking would only waste his energy without getting any results. The real issue was that he couldn't talk to Xena directly about it. One slip of the tongue would spoil any chance he had of pursuing her.What woman would want to be pursued by a man with ulterior motives? Or worse, the pursuit was merely to remove the toxin in his body. It would likely earn him a slap instead.…At Canraville Airport at 9:00 am the next day, Jack glanced around the plane he was in."Wow! So, this is what a private jet looks like. This is my first time fl

Sean frowned. "His name is Felix. How do you know him?"Dylan hurriedly took out his phone and showed a photo. "Is it this guy?"Sean nodded immediately. "Exactly!"Since his plan to retaliate against Felix at the bar failed, Dylan had done some digging on Felix. He found that Felix was indeed not an ordinary man.Dylan smirked. "So, Felix is going to be at the engagement party?""Yes. He's on his way now," Sean replied, but something felt off. "Whatever you're planning, I would advise against it. Felix and George are extremely close. Otherwise, why would I call him a big deal?"Dylan remained unfazed. "You don't understand. Felix used to be a miracle doctor, which is probably why he knows George. But for some reason, he's nothing now—just an ordinary man."A miracle doctor? Sean hadn't known that and wouldn't dare investigate Felix's background, even if he had the courage."If he's really nothing now, then why did I just get word that George and Felix are coming to the party t

George's expression turned odd. He wondered how Dylan ended up going against Felix. Was he so bored with life that he was seeking death?"Dylan, you're way too full of yourself. Shut your mouth and don't ruin someone's engagement party. Seriously, you have no manners!" George said.Huh? Dylan hadn't expected George to stand up for Felix. His face darkened as he struggled to come up with a response.Felix didn't escalate the situation further. What was most important now was Madeline's engagement. Any incident would spoil the event, and this wasn't just some casual gathering.Sitting at the same table, Sean was full of disdain for Dylan. He talked big, but the moment George spoke up, he became quiet like a child.After a moment of silence, Dylan opened his mouth again. "I'll say this one last time! Felix, if you apologize to me now, for George's sake, I'll let this go. Otherwise…"Felix shot a sharp glance and cut him off, "No otherwise. I won't apologize, especially since I did n

Aside from George, Jack, and Vanessa, everyone else was stunned, gasping at Felix's audacity. Did he realize who he was talking to?Especially Dylan, who was elated internally. If Felix had only provoked him, he might get a broken arm or leg. But angering Fabian meant a completely different level of consequence.Terrance reacted quickly, rushing over. "Felix! What are you saying? Quickly apologize to Mr. Fabian."He tried to calm the situation by scolding Felix while smiling apologetically at Fabian. "Fabian, young people can be rude. Please don't mind them."Internally, he was anxious. Although he knew Felix and George were close, this was too reckless. Didn't Felix see that even George was staying silent?Terrance had thought Luke marrying Madeline would solidify their connection with George. Now, it seemed like a massive problem was brewing instead.Although this old classmate of his was no longer useful in providing benefits, they couldn't afford to turn him into an enemy.W

But wasn't it a bit too unbelievable? Fabian, the president of Lionsfield Chamber of Commerce, was a significant figure in Yartford. Otherwise, how could Dylan have spoken to George that way? Yet here he was, treating Felix with the utmost respect and even promising Dylan would no longer speak for life. Terrance wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't witnessed it himself."F-Felix, our family bears some responsibility for what happened," Terrance said again.His tone was respectful to the extreme. If anyone dared to mistreat his future daughter-in-law, Madeline, he would deal with them himself."It's me who should be apologizing for disrupting the engagement," Felix replied.Sean, who had been anxiously watching, quickly interjected, "Felix, what are you talking about? There was no disturbance at all.""Exactly! No disturbance! Everything is proceeding as normal."As the engagement ceremony resumed, George remained silent, deep in thought. Why would Fabian fear Felix? Logic
