Dieter lowered his head and remained silent. Adrian did not press further. After all, he had no interest in being a mediator, and this father and son should resolve the issues between them on their own."Haha!" Arwen laughed. "It’s all horsesh*t!" Dieter was infuriated. He looked up at Arwen sharply and said, “It’s not horsesh*t! Everything I've done aligns with my conscience!”"I believe you," Adrian said solemnly. If Dieter were a cruel person, Sylvas would not have succeeded in his plan.Arwen's face sank. His only home was now destroyed. Despite wanting to befriend Adrian, he found him standing on Dieter's side. "Why do you trust him?" he asked.When Adrian was about to explain, Dieter decisively said, "I'll tell you the truth. I had another reason for killing your mother. She was carrying someone else's child. Caroline isn't my daughter."Arwen and Adrian fell silent, and the latter opened his mouth to speak a few times, but he could not utter a single word. He was not a co
"He's at the foot of the cliff," Adrian said, using one hand to block Caroline's attempt to hug him. "Is Arwen your brother?"Bucky thought Adrian was joking. When they met, she and Arwen had pretended not to know each other. Caroline even said she wanted to become Arwen's apprentice. "What? That's impossible." Rozi found it difficult to believe as well. She had always thought Caroline was a naive and romantic girl. Even if she did something out of the line, she had never confronted her about it.Everyone turned to look at Caroline who had tears in her eyes. She took a few deep breaths and said, "I…""You like Sir Dieter very much, don’t you?" Adrian asked, gently rubbing Caroline's head.Caroline sniffled and took out a piece of parchment from her arms. It was covered in densely written small characters, and she handed it to Adrian. "This is my mother's dying message,” she explained.Adrian read it and found it was more or less what he expected. Caroline's mother had betrayed D
“Unless what?" Dieter asked curiously."Yeah, tell us, Sir Adrian. Stop beating around the bush," Arwen chimed in. Ever since he found out Shaquille had manipulated him, he wanted to do something for Ivory Cloud.Adrian was a little annoyed. He was not used to having Arwen call him Sir Adrian. He awkwardly said, "Can't you just call me Adrian?""I wish I could," Arwen said as he glanced at Dieter. Since Adrian was Dieter's friend and Dieter was his father, he felt that calling Adrian just by his name would be inappropriate and disrespectful."Ahem! Out with it, Adrian," Dieter urged. Adrian nodded. Turning to Caroline, he said calmly, "Unless you're willing to help, Caroline."Everyone sighed in disappointment when they heard what Adrian said. After all, everyone present was more capable than Caroline. She was a troublemaker, and she always caused more harm than good. Morton spoke up, "I don't think Ms. Caroline can help us in this situation. If you're thinking of using her be
He got someone to inform Shaquille to take Caroline back, but Shaquille did not show up even after three days. In the end, Dieter took Caroline in and raised her as his own daughter."Shaquille has a heart of stone.” Dieter sneered."No, he doesn’t," Adrian refuted. The reason he said so was because Shaquille had not dealt the final blow to Arlo when he was on his last breath. Arlo managed to make it to Medicis Manor mainly because of Caroline. "I don't believe that Shaquille is heartless.""He isn’t worthy of being called a human!" Arwen interjected. When he had learned the truth, he went to confront Shaquille. He never expected Shaquille to look at him disdainfully and nearly kill him.Caroline lowered her head. Feeling her hatred toward Shaquille growing, she wished she could make him not her father. Every time she thought about him, she felt like a knife had been stabbed into her heart.Adrian approached Caroline and said, "The reason Arlo made it to Medicis Manor was because
Caroline was stunned. Dieter had always showered her with love. If she asked for the moon, he would find a way to get it for her. He never went against her wishes."Dad!" she cried.Dieter remained silent, his face stern. He clearly disagreed with this plan.Everyone was taken aback. Dieter was usually gentle and never lost his temper or showed displeasure. Arlo nudged Adrian. At this point, only the latter could persuade Dieter. Adrian said, "Sir Dieter, Caroline isn't going to recognize him as her father. She's just going to sow discord between him and Slyvas. It's all for Ivory Cloud.""That's right," Caroline chimed in, “I’d never acknowledge that heartless b*stard as my father. In this lifetime, I only have one father, and that's you." Arwen rolled his eyes. He was Dieter's biological son, and he felt that Dieter was being too dramatic. He was displeased, but he could not express it."You’re being stubborn, old man!" Arwen chided."Shut up!" Dieter shouted. Even though
Adrian rubbed her head and calmly said, "Just talk to him normally and state your purpose clearly. You don't have to try to be charming. Shaquille will find it repulsive."Caroline nodded. She then climbed a large rock and stood there with her arms crossed in front of her chest. The night breeze pulled at her clothes, and she trembled from the cold air.Arwen sighed. "I hope you're right about Shaquille. Otherwise, I'll hate myself even more."As soon as he had finished speaking, lights flickered in the sky. Arwen tensed up and leaned toward Adrian, whispering, "He's coming.”Caroline asked, "Who are you?""I am Shaquille," Shaquille answered coldly, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"Caroline’s trembling became even worse, and she involuntarily backed up. She wanted to keep her distance from Shaquille. "I’m here to save Ivory Cloud."Shaquille laughed. This daughter of his, who was always playing pranks, was finally showing a bit of intelligence. "Okay, I’ll
Shaquille rushed forward and snatched the dagger from Caroline's hand. He scolded loudly, "I've never met a lunatic like you!”"I've never seen a useless father like you either!" Although Caroline grimaced in pain, she was smiling as she looked toward where Adrian was hiding.Shaquille harrumphed coldly. He took out a bottle of medicinal powder to stop Caroline’s bleeding. "Did Dieter send you?""Of course not," Caroline said.Shaquille was stunned. If it was not Dieter, then who is it? Adrian? If it was him, he needed to seriously consider Caroline’s request."Then who sent you?" he asked."I’m not telling," Caroline said, "I want you to stop Sylvas from attacking Ivory Cloud. If you don't do as I said, I'll kill myself!" "Get lost!" Shaquille placed the medicinal powder in her hand. He then pointed in the direction Caroline had looked at earlier and said, "Arwen, Caroline is your sister. You only have one chance to use her. Next time, I won't give you the opportunity."With
Arwen then clapped his hands together in understanding, and he plunged from the sky. Luckily, Adrian reacted quickly and grabbed him.Arwen's face paled with fright. He did not have many items on him right now, and he would certainly fall to his death if Adrian had not caught him."You truly are my lucky star!" Arwen cried."Shut up!" Adrian said before looking at Caroline worriedly. He was certain that Dieter was going to be angry with them. "Keep everything that happened today a secret,” he warned.Just as he expected, when Dieter saw that Caroline was injured, he flew into a rage and chewed Arwen out. He did not even give Arwen a chance to explain anything. "Hey! Why am I the one being scolded? It's like I'm a dog you picked up on the streets. Have you ever considered my feelings? I don't want to stay here!” Arwen lamented.Adrian chuckled. Dieter had wanted to scold him too, but Caroline defended him by shifting all the blame to Arwen.Upon learning that Sylvas was retreati
