Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Miranda fainted in shock once she had thrown herself into Clarence’s arms.

Roger and his men arrived. “Brother Howard, where is he?”

“He escaped.” Clarence shook his head.

Just then, Roger’s subordinate came over with some sheets of information. “President, we’ve looked it up. Our information shows that Rattlesnake and Datura were active in Mediterranean City six months ago.”

“Damn it!” roared Roger.

Julian volunteered himself. “President, I’ll immediately send my men to get rid of Dom’s remnants in Mediterranean City.”

Clarence glanced over and saw a picture of Master Dunn on one of the sheets.

He grabbed it and looked at it.

The information on it read ‘Dom’s sixth fighter... Poison Master’.

Clarence’s face was grim.

He and Dom were now enemies.

Everyone left Bat Hill and returned to Mediterranean City. They also brought Miranda directly back to Thirteen Hall for treatment.

She was still in a coma, and her breathing was erratic.

Roger and the others prepared to leave. “Master Howard, Dom has lost three of his sidekicks in quick succession, and Poison Master has fled. His forces have been greatly weakened.

“He probably won’t have any big plans for the next six months.

“Your Thirteen Hall and you yourself should be safe, but you can’t let your guard down. I’ll have some people stay on watch around Thirteen Hall in case you ever need some backup.”

Clarence nodded. “Thank you, President Reed.”

He had just finished speaking when he saw a group of people rush into Thirteen Hall.

They looked menacing and furious.

Peony shouted at the top of her lungs, “Clarence, what have you done to my daughter?”

Roger frowned and waved. “Master Howard, you go deal with your family’s matters. We’ve gotta go.”

Clarence looked at Peony coldly. “Miranda was kidnapped, but luckily, I saved her just in time. She’s alright for now.”

“Kidnapped?

“Kidnapped again?”

Peony looked furious. “What have you done to Miranda? You two are already divorced, yet you’re still causing her trouble.

“If we hadn’t gotten the news and called the police in time, do you think the kidnappers would’ve let her go?”

She shouted, now sitting in Thirteen Hall’s old-fashioned wooden armchair, “If they were to ask for a one or two billion dollar ransom, which one of us would have to pay?

“Master Williams, what are you doing just standing there? Serve us tea!”

She was treating Thirteen Hall like it was her own territory.

“What do you say to transferring your money to the Murphy family so kidnappers will stop going after you?

“After that, you and Miranda can go on rekindling your relationship. Maybe it will work out, and you two can remarry.”

She spoke earnestly as if what she was suggesting was in Clarence’s best interests. “Clarence, I’m doing this for your own good.

“You’ll have less to worry about when you no longer have money. Look, you were given three thousand dollars a month when you were with the Murphy family, but you had no worries, right? Now that you’ve got money, trouble ensues. It all happened because you have money.

“Give it to me for safekeeping. I’ll keep it as a relationship fund for you and Miranda. Ask me for money whenever you need it. Do you think I’d ever take your money?”

Clarence was amused.

“Mom, stop.” Suddenly, a weak voice spoke.

Peony got up and looked at Miranda, who was pale. “Miranda, you’re awake.

“How do you feel?”

Miranda shook her head. “I’m fine. Go home first. Clarence’s a doctor. He’s keeping me here to cure me.”

She glanced at Clarence. “It’s not like he’s trying to get back with me.”

“Hmph.”

Peony grunted. “It’s not like I’m happy he wants to get back together with you.

“I’ve been in touch with someone recently. A young master from Gold City is coming over.

“Though Gold City is no match for Mediterranean City, it’s still been home to a lot of great people over the last six centuries. Rich lands foster rich talents.”

She lowered her voice. “The family of this young master from Gold City is said to have assets worth fifty billion dollars. They’re one of the most influential families in the country. I’ll be very happy if you marry him.

“Once you do, you can forget about Dragon Soar Heights’ Villa One. You’ll be rich enough to buy a building in Dubai.”

Clarence shook his head helplessly.

‘Buying a building in Dubai with only fifty billion dollars in assets?

‘Dream on!’

However, he did not bother to ruin Peony’s daydreams.

Miranda was very weak. “Mom, stop it. Just leave.”

“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll leave. Stay here for treatment first. Come home as soon as you’re done. Don’t stay here overnight.

“Reputation is everything to a lady.”

Peony left, but she kept glancing behind. She even glared at Clarence before she left. It was as if she was on the defensive around him.

Clarence did not argue with Peony.

Miranda smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry. That’s just how my mom is.”

Clarence shrugged, unconcerned. “I’m used to it.”

Miranda smiled, but she felt weak and almost fell.

Clarence went up to grab her and carry her back to the room. “You’re injured. I’ll let Master Williams treat you, so people don’t misunderstand.

“They’re only minor injuries anyway. Master Williams’s pretty good at medicine, so he’s well qualified to treat you.”

Clarence turned and headed outside.

He had taken two steps when he discovered that he could no longer move.

Looking back, he saw that the woman had reached out and was now pulling on the hem of his shirt. She looked at him with pleading eyes. “Don’t go, okay? Stay with me.”

Clarence’s heart fluttered, but he smiled wryly. “It’s inappropriate. As your mother said, we’re divorced.

“Reputation is everything to a lady. Let Master Williams give you the treatment.”

Miranda shook her head, “It’s okay, I believe you.

“You’re better at medicine than he is. You can treat me.

“By the way, is this yours? It seemed important to you, so I stole it when Master Dunn wasn’t looking.” Miranda spread her hand out and handed Clarence the necklace with a cross.

Clarence looked shocked before pleasant surprise took over.

“You...”

He had gotten back the necklace with a cross.

“What you did was too dangerous. Wouldn’t you have been killed if Master Dunn had caught you?” Clarence was scared.

The woman smiled. “Are you worried about me?”

Clarence did not give her a direct answer.

Miranda did not put up a fuss, simply revealing a sly look in her eyes. “He was running for his life when we were in the tunnel. He did not care about what I was doing.

“He thought I was just a weak woman, unaware of what I could do.”

Clarence was between laughter and tears. “Still, it was too dangerous. You can’t do that next time.”

Miranda nodded obediently, “Okay, I’ll do whatever you want.”

Clarence froze.

This was all very out of character for Miranda.

Miranda never listened or spoke amicably to Clarence back then.

The woman added, “I did what you wanted. Shouldn’t you do what I want too?”

Sure enough.

She was still the same woman!

When she saw Clarence frowning, Miranda immediately said, “I’m not asking you to do anything major. Just treat me yourself.

“Don’t hesitate. I helped you get back such an important thing. Can’t you help me with my treatment in return?

“Master Howard...”

She pleaded coquettishly.

Clarence had no choice but to help Miranda with treatment.

Just as Clarence was about to begin, the woman undressed.

He caught sight of something white....
