Two guards blocked Ludwig and Lyra's path. They both stared at them with strange looks."You can't come in," one of them said firmly.Lyra was shocked. For the first time, she'd experienced such disrespect from a shopkeeper. This annoyed her. But a few seconds later, the woman realized something.She noticed her appearance. She looked very disheveled. She was still wearing her white dress, but it had now become very dirty. The cemetery soil had turned the white color brown, making her appearance very strange.She looked at Ludwig. She took his hand and said, "We'd better get out of here." She spoke very quietly.Ludwig shook his head. His eyes were sharp like a hawk's. He was not happy with this rejection. "Let us in. We want to shop here."Ludwig's words were immediately met with loud laughter from the two guards. They noticed Ludwig's poor appearance, his shabby clothes, which they were sure hadn't been changed in years. This made the guards look at him with disdain.Their gazes shi

Harris widened his eyes, staring at the man very seriously. "Mr. Jordan, are you here?"The man asked in a nervous voice. Then he looked at Ludwig in disbelief. He thought this was absolutely impossible.Everyone who worked here knew that no one could disturb Mr. Jordan so easily. Even to meet him, one had to make an appointment. So how could someone with such a plain appearance give an order and Mr. Jordan would immediately appear?This didn't make sense.He could see Jordan breathing heavily, his chest heaving and his face covered in sweat.But Harris couldn't believe it. He was sure it was just a coincidence.Yes, it would make more sense if it were just a coincidence.Harris smiled and greeted the manager. "Mr. Jordan, what are you doing here?""You can call me if you need anything." The man spoke very politely. He even changed his expression to a more respectful one. He just didn't want to cause trouble for his superiors.Then he suddenly remembered something. His eyes fell on Lu

Lyra could barely keep her mouth shut. $55,000,000 was a fantastic sum of money.The woman immediately looked at Ludwig. She swallowed nervously. Even now, she was beginning to believe that trouble might soon be upon them again.“$55,000,000, Ludwig, how are you going to pay it?” The woman panicked. She bit her fingers.Lyra knew Ludwig wouldn't have that much money. Even during her time working for the Winter family company, she had only managed to save less than $5,000,000.“How are we going to pay for all that?”Lyra knew that if they didn't pay, they would not only be dishonorably evicted, but they could also face legal action for fraud.Lyra was furious with Ludwig. But now she only saw Ludwig, who was still sitting quietly.“Why do you look so panicked?” Ludwig asked calmly. He picked up his tea and took a careful sip.“You have absolutely nothing to worry about,” he assured Lyra.Lyra couldn’t understand what Ludwig was thinking. Thinking about 55 million dollars, how could he

“I’ll be right there. Wait for me there.” Ludwig immediately ended the call and put his phone in his pocket.This morning, he had dressed neatly in his white shirt. He straightened his hair and then left the room. But he couldn’t see Lyra anywhere.“Where is Lyra this early in the morning?” Ludwig frowned, looking around. But then he heard a sound coming from the kitchen.Ludwig stepped closer, and finally saw Lyra busy preparing food.Ludwig approached her. “Lyra, what are you doing?”Lyra turned, smiling when she noticed him. “I prepared food for us.” But a moment later, Lyra looked down at the menu. “But I only prepared simple food. I only found this in the fridge.”Ludwig stared at her closely. “Why did you go to all this trouble? You shouldn’t have to.” He paused. “We can buy it outside.”“Buy it?” Lyra repeated Ludwig’s words. Then she shook her head. “That’s completely unnecessary. I can prepare food for you.”Lyra silently studied Ludwig. She raised an eyebrow. “But, don’t you

Ludwig had just arrived. As he promised, he wouldn't leave Lyra for long.He had brought food for Lyra. He didn't want her to have to worry about cooking for them again.Ludwig remembered Lyra saying she was going shopping earlier.Seeing the house was still open, he was sure she hadn't left. "Did she wait for me on purpose?"Ludwig smiled faintly. Then he walked into the house."Lyra?"Ludwig called out several times, but found no one there.Ludwig raised an eyebrow. He looked upstairs. "Is Lyra in her room?"Ludwig quickly walked upstairs, trying to find Lyra there. But once again, he found no one there."Lyra?" Ludwig called out again.The man was silent for a moment. He was sure something was wrong.The man quickly got back down, only to notice the broken plate on the floor.His face immediately became stern. His eagle gaze froze the scene. He quickly grabbed his phone and called James. "I'll be waiting for you at the Winter house."Ludwig was certain that only the Winter family c
