"Michael... are you still there?"
Duncan could sense the unusual silence on the other end of the line.

Suddenly, Michael r

Chapter 186: The Truth Revealed
In the end, he couldn't even keep his wife, and his kindness had been trampled upon. Michael looked at Duncan, understanding exactly where his rage was coming from.Once, on the battlefield, the enemy had ruthlessly used children as soldiers, knowing the General would never kill a child. Though it had been difficult, they hadn't harmed a single one. When questioned, the innocent children simply said, "Because they gave us food... they said it was a game."Those people had exploited the innocence of children; they were worse than beasts. Seeing that innocent boy had touched a warm spot in Duncan’s heart, and the fact that the boy was an orphan, made Duncan empathize even more. Aunt Sophia had lived a hard life, mistreated by the MacCoinnich family and struggling with poverty before working as a maid. If it hadn't been for Duncan and Michael looking out for
Chapter 185: The Buried Truth
At that moment, Aunt Sophia was tidying up and taking her grandson to the room to rest. Regaining her composure, she prepared to head up to meet Duncan."Aunt Sophia..."It was Miss Bunny’s voice."Miss Bunny, where have you been these past few days? The Master has just returned."Aunt Sophia was slightly surprised to see Miss Bunny's return."Everyone was gone, and... I was just a bit bored, so I went out for a while."Miss Bunny had intended to leave for good; after all, she had lost Duncan’s trust. However, over the past few days, the further she stayed away from him, the more she realized her heart was set on Duncan for a lifetime.
Chapter 184: The Turning Point
"Luca, why do you think I waited this long?" Duncan's tone turned dangerous."I..." Luca bowed his head, not daring to say he didn't know.Was he joking?Chairman Sparks was a fence-sitter who went wherever the wind blew, but he knew how to flatter the Cabinet and win over the public. Those roots weren't shallow; touching them could destabilize the entire foundation."Why did I put you in the Cabinet? Why did I build a faction for you?" Duncan shook his head slightly at him. "Is Chairman Sparks’ foundation deeper than the great families? The Jamieson family, the Templeton family, the Vaughn family, and the MacCoinnich family over there... everyone is looking at his position like hungry tigers.""Luca, do you kn
Chapter 183: The Wedding Gift
Gianni looked at his daughter with a hint of worry. Seeing the suitcase, he didn't think much of it at first."What's wrong?"Facing Gianni’s concerned gaze, Kate didn't know how to start the conversation."Nothing... I just wanted to ask, what do you think of Mr. Lucius?"She was at a loss for words. Her mind was a chaotic mess, but she could clearly feel that Duncan was being sincere with her. It was just...Was she being too pragmatic?"As long as you’re happy, nothing else matters.""What if I make the wrong choice?"Gianni felt a twinge of unease hearing Kate's wor

"Harry, stay here and assist Michael and Edward."Duncan called out to Harry, and after finalizing the instructions, he departed on his own.Kate stood there in a daze. She no longer had a reason to hold him back. She didn't even know her own mind anymore.What if she did stop him? Would she call off the wedding with Lucius?"Miss Kate, let me take you home." Michael stepped forward."No... that’s not necessary...""If Mr. MacCoinnich finds out I let you go home alone, he’ll have my head." Michael’s eyes held a hint of a plea."Alright... fine," Kate said awkwardly.She ha

"You..."Thinking about how Edward had rushed to find Kate solely for his sake, Duncan felt a profound wave of guilt and reluctance.Duncan stepped forward, ignoring the bewildered stares of those around him."Hey, you. This is the emergency ward, you can't—""Stay back."The nurses quickly moved to intercept him."I only need one minute."Duncan’s gaze was icy, causing the nurses to recoil instinctively."Manifestation."Regardless of their scrutiny, he no longer cared what they thought.
