“All right. I’d better go see Martin now,” Valentina muttered before stepping out of the living room.Seeing how complicated the situation had become, she couldn’t just let her mother and her two sisters worry about it alone.She also couldn’t ask anyone else for help, since this involved internal matters of the Varelli family.Therefore, the only option left was that man.And Valentina was certain he would have more than enough ideas to offer her.Knock. Knock.“Martin, are you inside?”Valentina called out as she knocked on the door.It was already nine in the morning.Martin should have finished breakfast by now.“Martin.”Receiving no answer even after calling twice, Valentina turned the doorknob.“Martin,” she said again.But the room was empty.“Where did he go?”Without thinking too much, Valentina immediately began walking through the mansion, which had nearly fifty rooms.Yet no matter where she looked, she couldn’t find him.“Aish! Where did that man go? Why didn’t he tell m

“This absolutely cannot be tolerated!”That was the thought flashing through Valentina’s mind when she could no longer hold herself back from stepping toward Martin.But at that very moment, her instincts stopped her.“No,” she told herself. “If I go in now, Martin will know I deliberately followed him.”There would be no problem if he were her boyfriend or her husband.But Martin was nothing to her.In this situation, wouldn’t it look extremely awkward?What if the man had already “asked permission” from his wife beforehand?Asked permission to cheat, more precisely.Well, whatever the case, it would be utterly embarrassing if Valentina stormed in right now.Clenching her fists, she forced down her boiling anger and ran out of the hotel.At least she had obtained proof.For the first time in months—since she had started believing that only Martin was a man she could truly trust—she saw that very same man shatter her trust.“Ma’am, excuse me, but your car…”The moment she stepped out

“Thank you for—”Putting on the crisp white shirt over his body, Martin did not immediately continue his sentence when he realized someone seemed to be watching them from outside.But when he turned his head, he saw no one there.Yesterday, after returning from Regalis, he contacted the jewelry appraiser, Dr. Cassian Morel.“There’s something I’d like to discuss with you. Can we meet?”The appraiser agreed—but only at one place: Diamond Hotel.“I want the entire top floor cleared and security tightened. If you can do that, I’ll grant your request.”With his money, that actually wasn’t a problem for Martin, even if he had to pay for the entire floor.The problem was that Diamond had extremely strict policies.Booking one or two rooms—or even several rooms—on a floor wasn’t an issue.But renting an entire floor exclusively? That was very difficult.It wasn’t just anything. The hotel had a guest list filled with important figures from various countries. Some rooms were even pre-booked fa

“My God! Riley really knows how to mess with me!”Martin stood frozen in place, not expecting the girl to kiss him.Previously in Havenport, she had suddenly hugged him.And now, very cleverly, she had managed to kiss him.Who knew what other tricks she would use on him if they happened to meet again in the future?“Alright. I’ll head there now.”Not wanting to dwell on it too long, Martin walked down the corridor toward the room at the corner.Click.As soon as he turned the doorknob and saw what was inside, he nodded.Now he understood why the old man had insisted on meeting here.This wasn’t just a presidential suite. It was more like a super-premium meeting room.There was a small bar at the far end with a rare collection, and in the middle of the room stood a large round table with no fewer than ten chairs surrounding it.Placing the burger wrapper he had been carrying onto the table, he chose a seat facing the entrance.And sure enough—Five minutes before the appointment, the s

“What?”Quinn frowned.That she was married to Martin—that was true.She had never made it up or lied.So far, people had only sneered that she had chosen the wrong man, though now it was clear that they were the ones who had been wrong.But now that someone was questioning whether she truly had that kind of status, it shocked her.“What do you mean?”“Ma’am, please forgive me.”The lawyer loosened his tie again.He seemed aware that his question was rather sensitive.“Please don’t misunderstand, but…”He didn’t even finish his sentence before turning his laptop around so the screen faced Quinn.“I’ve checked it and had my people verify it at the office where you registered. But…”He hesitated again.“What’s written here isn’t a marriage certificate. It’s a cohabitation record.”Cohabitation—living together between a man and a woman—actually didn’t require registration at the civil office.But some people did it for security purposes.“What?”Quinn immediately grabbed the laptop with

Valentina felt relieved because there was no “strange scent” coming from Martin’s body—the kind of scent usually lingering after someone had sexual intercourse.She had never done it herself, but as part of her training in Belvaria, she had learned to read a person’s biological expressions.After confirming for herself that Martin wasn’t cheating, the anger in her heart seemed to evaporate.However, the moment she realized that girl had kissed him, the uncomfortable feeling resurfaced.And the longer it lingered, the bigger it grew.She didn’t know how to get rid of it—except by blaming Martin.“Listen.”Martin placed his hand on Valentina’s head.“Move your hand.”She looked annoyed, yet she didn’t actually try to remove his hand.Instead, Martin leaned his face closer to hers.“You know Miss Maddox, right? The one who helped us track down a Hunt3r two months ago. Now imagine you were in my position—without any warning, she suddenly kissed you. What would you do? You couldn’t just pu

“Martin.”Valentina could only murmur softly as she watched the young man’s back move farther and farther away, descending the stairs until his figure completely disappeared from her sight.She wanted to chase after him and ask where he was going.But her steps stopped, as if they had suddenly become too weak to move.Somehow, Martin’s gentle pat on her head had not only erased all the anger in her heart, but at the same time, a strange warmth and comfort began spreading throughout her body.This is really strange, Valentina thought. Her expression and gaze turned gloomy.Why am I suddenly feeling something that seems so familiar? Why am I feeling it again now?Ever since Valentina left for Belvaria more than a decade ago, people might think she rarely returned home—perhaps once or twice a year at most.But the truth was actually different.“Are you still going to sneak in like a thief every time you visit?”Michael opened the window of his study, letting his youngest daughter climb i

“V, are you alright?”Gianna’s voice made Valentina immediately stop sobbing. She quickly wiped her face.“Y-yes. Yes. I’m fine.”Putting on a very sweet smile, Valentina stood up from the floor, though the traces of sadness were still clearly visible on her face.“Are you serious? You’re not hiding anything from me, are you?”Gianna stared closely at her sister’s face. The worry in her eyes was obvious.“Sure. Sure. Why would I do that? Of course not. There’s nothing going on.”Valentina nodded, still smiling widely.“Besides, why are you asking that?” Valentina continued. “Do you doubt me? Tell me, has there ever been anything I couldn’t do? No, right? So relax. I’m fine.”In an instant, the sadness on Valentina’s face turned cheerful.But her words only made Gianna more suspicious.“Are you sure?”Gianna forced a smile as well, not wanting to make her sister worry because she looked worried.But now she understood something.Valentina wasn’t just strong—she was also very good at hi

There was actually something people never understood about her sister.There were only two kinds of people she could get angry at.The first were people she disliked.In that case, Valentina would never hesitate to beat them up.And because very few people could get close to her, there were also very few who dared to make her angry.The second kind were people she cared about deeply.Only with them could she truly get angry.Of course, she would never hurt them.And in that second category, there had only ever been two names: Gianna and their father.And now, seeing how furious Valentina had been toward Martin—only for that anger to disappear the moment he patted her head—Gianna frowned even more.Doesn’t that mean…Valentina liked Martin.Not just liked him.Her feelings for him were very deep.“No… that can’t be possible, right?”Gianna shook her head.“Valentina can’t possibly like her own sister’s husband.”Then, after watching the man leave her sister behind, Gianna was about to

“After the director forbade us from meeting each other, it must have been very difficult to find us one by one, right?”Looking at Lana, Martin smiled broadly.Back when Spectre Eleven was still active, this girl had worked behind the computer for them.Tracing, disguises, weapon supply, route discovery—her abilities were truly extraordinary.If she hadn’t been slightly below Valentina, she might have been her closest and fiercest rival.Martin had thought that she was the one who tracked down the members of the team one by one after they were disbanded.After all, it would make sense to assume that the members had gone off to pursue the lives they wanted, making them difficult to locate.“Well, actually… it might surprise you if I tell you the truth.”Lana merely shook her head slowly, her eyes never leaving Martin’s face. The sweet smile on her lips hadn’t faded even since the moment she first saw him.“You mean…” Martin frowned. “They’re still in contact with each other?”“Uh-huh.”
