Her father nodded his head.

"But they have a lot of requirements for new members!"

"I heard that the president of the union is Mr. Wilson, and he's notoriously cold and arrogant!" Marko chimed in.

"Celine can't get him to cooperate with us, can she?" Marko wrinkled his forehead and looked down at them.

"Is that true, Father?"

"I heard that the president of the union is Mr. Wilson, and he's notoriously cold and arrogant!" Marko chimed in.

"Celine can't get him to cooperate with us, can she?" Marko wrinkled his forehead and looked down at them.

"What are you talking about? Nothing is impossible for your sister!”

Celine said her eyes widened as she was very enthusiastic when she heard something favorable for her company.

Her father nodded his head.

"But they have a lot of requirements for new members!"

"I heard that the president of the union is Mr. Wilson, he's notoriously cold and arrogant!" Marko chimed in.

"Celine can't get him to cooperate with us, can she?" Marko wrinkled his forehead and looked down at them.

"What are you talking about? Nothing is impossible for your brother!"

Marko smiled dismissively at his brother, knowing that his brother had been rebuffed by Mr. Wilson when he tried to work with him. Mr. Wilson is very cold to his clients, except to people he has known for a long time.

"I heard that the owner of the union is the chairman of the Moba Mobile Group, one of the biggest growing companies today. He's one of the crazy rich in town, but the thing that makes people curious is...?"

Marko was silent for a moment as all the family members looked at him curiously.

"I think he's a priest, he likes to meditate, he never shows his face in public."

"But he's amazingly able to take down the mobsters who want to destroy his company, isn't that very strange?”

Marko explained it in great detail and seriously, but Celine didn't care that the information was just a joke.

How could a crazy rich man who liked to meditate be so strange to her ears?

"You shouldn't be bragging, Marko, you should be helping your sister!" Amy Luis' mother said.

"That's right Mom! I have heard a lot of people talking about him, and there are even people who want to find a place for him to meditate on purpose!"

Marko explained.

"Let's not listen to that snot-nosed kid, he's always bragging and being annoying!" His father Paton White said.

"You better talk to Mr. Wilson, he's the president of the union, if we join, our company will have a much easier time borrowing money and negotiating with other businessmen, you heard that Celine!"

Celine nodded her head as if she agreed. Even though she had been denied a meeting, what Marko was talking about was true.

Celine swallowed her saliva, as if the bitterness would repeat itself.

Marko said teasingly to his sister.

"Yesterday there was a very handsome and cool guy who asked about you, sis?"

"Really? Who was he?"

"His name is Mr. Fredy and he was looking for you, but you were in the office!"

Immediately her eyes widened as her face turned happy. The person she had liked for so long was finally responding to her feelings, it was like a dream come true for her. After all this time, he was chasing after his love.

"Did he say anything important?"

"Did he...?”

Marko stopped talking, Celline looked at him curiously, again this snot-nosed boy made her ask questions.

"He wants to invite you to a meeting, just call him when you have time, he asked me to tell you!"

Hearing that Celine was so happy, her heart burst with happiness as she got the news she had been waiting for.

"He's so cool, I'd like him to be my brother-in-law!" said Marko, smiling seductively at his sister.

"Looks like you like him too?"

Look at the blush on your face!"

Marko continued to tease his sister while laughing, leaving Celine embarrassed and speechless.

But suddenly Grandpa Martin interrupted Marko and Celine's conversation.

"But Grandpa doesn't approve of Celine being close to a man," Grandpa Martin said, sniffing coldly.

Suddenly all the family members were curious what made Grandpa Martin talk like that to Celine.

"Look, you have a will from your ancestors, and you have agreed to it."

"Now it must be carried out immediately. Make a banquet for today, there will be a man who will be your future husband, Celine!"

"What?”

All the family members were surprised to hear Martin's grandfather's sudden words.

    "We will buy it, Darling," Leon promised. "We will have all of that—a family. A son... who possesses your wisdom and my strength," he asserted. He gently touched Celine's stomach, hinting at the deeply longed-for dream. Leon closed his eyes, fervently hoping the tragic shadow of Alex Mozu would simply dissipate, at least for this afternoon. "Everything... will soon come true. I will never dismiss that dream again. Trust me entirely."Celine smiled, fully content. Her belief in Leon was now absolute; even without the formal recognition of his title, she knew Leon was her King. Leon drew Celine back into his arms. Her body felt warm and reassuring. They hugged tightly, savoring the warmth of the afternoon sun—a symbol of the certainty and total tranquility Leon now felt. This moment felt perfect, peaceful, and brimming with the promise of a future that would not be easily destroyed by any rival. The scent of fresh soil penetrated her senses."Darling," Celine whispered, her hand stroking

    "Leonor... Leonor... You are the man who will truly miss that woman. And I will ensure she remains in my grasp, no matter what you attempt to do." Alex promised, his voice soft, yet terrifyingly chilling.Alex Mozu slowly sipped his dark red wine. His eyes implied stillness, a clear mark of impending triumph. He left the room, locking the door behind him. The aroma of sandalwood and burnt wood was left behind in the small bunker.Leon returned to their residence with a visibly exhausted face, but he quickly masked the shadow of weariness with a soft smile. Although the mission to track Alex Mozu had yielded no conclusive results, Leon realized he could not afford to waste any more time; he needed to grant Celine a moment—a deserving respite for the couple who had just solidified their love. He had sent Celine a quick message, asking for the entire afternoon for a simple date, away from all chaos.Celine agreed instantly. She had been longing for such an invitation—a validation that Le

    "Business? An important matter carried out by an unemployed pauper, Lady Celine?" Marko mocked, offering a cynical chuckle. He carefully wiped the corners of his mouth with a soft silk napkin. He appeared to have just finished a costly lobster dinner. The smell of his arrogance stung Celine’s nose."We are discussing Leonor Whangzou Lee!" Mrs. Barta interrupted sharply. Her eyes gleamed with obsession, demanding attention. She then picked up a fresh newspaper Marko had printed. The news... it was the very same headline Maria had shown her earlier. The photo of Leonor Whangzou Lee in his commanding attire fascinated Mrs. Barta deeply. This was a golden opportunity she could not reject."I imagine, Ms. Celine, you refuse to believe the gravity of the truth. But that man has returned. His awakening will completely influence the entire business market in Wilten Hill. **Moba Mobile Group** is not just any company; it is the property sector giant we have long sought connections with," Mrs.

    "The Whangzou Clan elders and government officials begged him, Madam," Maria replied, looking excited as she shared the details. "They have been circulating this news since dawn. Reportedly, he seldom appears publicly—almost never. His resurrection is now considered a Divine Intervention by the elite business community of Wilten Hill. Allegedly, he left after a massive conflict with several clan elders, pursuing a personal principle he fiercely believed in."Celine stepped closer to the screen, meticulously examining the man's face again. The furrowed brow resembled Leon when he was thinking intently. "Leon..." Celine murmured to herself. *No. It cannot be.* Yet the similarities... could not be dismissed. The sharp lines around Leon's eyes when he was serious, his prominent nose... everything matched. However, she had to deny it. Leon was just a simple man from the village who came to marry her, a man seeking genuine happiness. How could it possibly be the same person?She struggled t

    Celine sighed, watching Leon's back disappear behind the securely shut door of their private elevator. Her husband's sudden departure left a surging wave of turbulent emotions within her. The soft smile lingering from the previous night gradually faded. She walked listlessly toward the bedroom door, which remained slightly ajar, ensuring her husband had truly left and finalized all the 'urgent business' that now seemed to dominate his life. A quiet mumble, an uncontainable inner voice, escaped her lips."He is always so secretive. Do I not deserve to know your secret, Leon?" Celine muttered, her voice filled with deep curiosity and an honest admission. Although her sincere love for Leon was now confessed, she felt an intense, crushing dilemma. Leon’s secrets always felt so heavy and untouchable, as if she were deemed unworthy to grasp them fully.Now, Celine felt an intense duality in her heart. Leon, her intimate and loving husband, suddenly shifted into Leon, the cold, secret hero,

    Celine turned her face away. She attempted to evade Leon's gaze. "Leon," she whispered, her voice choked and shy. "You... you should have informed me about your intentions." She turned her body, presenting her back to Leon, her frame slightly trembling as she processed the cascade of new sensations.Leon embraced her from behind, resting his chin on Celine’s exposed shoulder. "Inform you about what, Darling?" Leon whispered. "Does the profound desire of a man for his wife require official announcement? I believe... that is something that merely needs to be felt, not extensively discussed. Did everything not proceed smoothly? I ensured that all the rage and intense desire triggered by Mr. Martin’s tonic... never inflicted harm upon you, Lady Celine. I assure you that there is no need for worry, Darling.""I... I cannot deceive myself any longer, Leon," Celine confessed. Her embarrassment receded, replaced by an overwhelming, heartfelt honesty. She held Leon's hand circling her abdomen.
