Scarlet could sense numerous gazes turning toward her. However, she paid no attention, as her high status had accustomed her to being the center of attention, showcasing her beauty.Scarlet chuckled seductively before leading Bella to her position.Mr. Adel, upon seeing her, immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations to Bella for recovering from her illness; it's truly a miraculous and joyous event."Scarlet smiled and nodded, "Thank you very much, sir."Standing to the side, Asta was still mindful of Scarlet's protecting Arthur at the previous wedding. Asta wouldn't have come to this party if it weren't for their equal status and the many benefits intertwined between them.Standing beside, Stanley looked enraptured by Scarlet, smiling and saying, "I wonder what ailment Miss Bella had?"Scarlet shook her head, her gaze profound as she looked at him, "Bella wasn't ill; someone targeted her."Mr. Adel immediately revealed a startled expression, "But who would dare harm Miss Bella?

"How are you?" Jessica asked Raymond, her voice sounding like it was waking him up. He snapped out of his anger and resentment. His body stiffened, and he looked embarrassed as he glanced at Jessica, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything.His anger had been overwhelming just a moment ago, and Jessica must have seen the look on his face. Resolving this situation proved challenging, no matter how one looked at it. Raymond appeared pitiable before Jessica. He lowered his head and said, "I was just angry. Why is it that Arthur can still be free after everything he has done and even have things that normal people can't obtain?" Three years had passed, and the anger and resentment within Jessica had almost faded away. She simply didn't want to face Arthur. However, Raymond clung to this sentiment, reminding himself of the incident three years ago every time he saw her as if he feared she would forget it. Jessica wasn't naive and could see the inner contradiction in Raymond'

Crimson and Skyler wanted to choke Amber. Despite the foul smell of the dark mage's soul, it contained a powerful energy within that could help them quickly grow stronger. Perhaps it was just Amber who acted like that. Having consumed souls, she was now picky, preferring the fragrant ones over the foul ones.Crimson and Skyler were different. They just needed to become stronger quickly, and they would devour any soul.Arthur looked at them and asked again, "So, can you eat it?"Amber disdainfully replied, "I am a Thlu with the power of a demon king within me. I could become the most powerful demon in the future. How could I possibly consume something as filthy as the soul of a dark mage?"Crimson contemptuously laughed at Amber, and even Skyler said to Arthur, "Don't worry, dark mages are vile creatures. Even if you let us consume their souls, it's like cleansing evil instead of doing something wicked. It won't affect you."Arthur raised an eyebrow slightly. Seeing this, Skyler s

Arthur finished his coffee in one gulp, then stood up to settle the bill. Just now, Mrs. William and Jacob had hurriedly left, not even paying for their drinks before running off. Well, consider that their farewell fee.He had intended to make those two realize their wrongs, but Jessica's reaction was even more intense than his. She didn't give them a chance to justify themselves."She has truly matured," Arthur thought silently, then left.Outside, in Jessica's private car, Jacob discreetly glanced at his mother, signaling her to speak quickly.Mrs. William took a sip of water, hesitatingly saying, "Jessica, can you please not be angry anymore? We're only thinking about your future."Jessica silently sneered. Thinking for her? Mrs. William's actions were no different from selling her daughter from the past to the present. She truly wasn't deserving of being called a proper mother.Thinking of everything that had happened, a bold thought suddenly popped into Jessica's mind.Mrs.

Seeing Arthur continue to walk ahead, Lance quickly followed suit. Arthur approached the gate of the orphanage. The gate was locked at this moment, and he couldn't use force to get inside. Inside the gate was a scene just as desolate as the outside. No children were running around or playing. If it weren't for a few windows lit up with light, one might think this place was just an abandoned area. A hoarse and elderly voice suddenly sounded, "What are you all doing here?!" Although the voice sounded exceedingly old, one could still hear the wariness and anger within it. Arthur shifted his gaze and saw an old man emerging from a small forest within the orphanage. The old man held a small basket filled with mushrooms in his hands. It wasn't hard to guess that he had just returned from mushroom picking. However, it seemed he hadn't harvested much. Seeing Arthur looking over, the old man appeared somewhat taken aback. Perhaps he realized that his earlier tone had been overly s
