Chapter 2019


    "No." Morpheus shook his head. "She''s an old member of the Hamertons. There''s no reason for her to


    help Reba. But when Sephy drove Reba away, perhaps the butler only instructed the people


    below. She wouldn''t personally handle it. So, I believe there''s an issue among the subordinates."


    "Sir, what do we do now?"


    Morpheus remained silent for a while, then said slowly, "Contact the former Orton Troop."


    Alfred and Marie were initially surprised by this statement, then showed signs of delight.


    "Sir, have you already... made up your mind?"


    Morpheus smiled faintly. He stood up and held their hands gently.


    "You both have always been loyal to me, as were the former Orton Troop... I know you''ve always


    hoped for my return. This time, I don''t want to disappoint you or let anything bad happen to Sephy."


    Alfred and Marie smiled, too excited to find words.


    At that moment, a clear voice came from outside. "Morpheus!"


    Alfred immediately understood and chuckled. "The ''closed for business'' sign has to be taken down. Our


    only patron has arrived!"


    Morpheus walked out with a smile. In the sunlight, Persephone''s smile resembled sweet ice cream as


    she enthusiastically waved at him.


    "Why did you rush out like this?" Morpheus furrowed his brow. "Aren''t you afraid of getting sunburned?"


    Persephone grinned.


    She was wearing a sleeveless T-shirt and a floral skirt today, looking youthful and beautiful. However,


    she was always afraid of the sun, and now, with such arge area of her skin exposed, it turned red


    within no time.


    "It''s okay. It''s just too hot today!" Persephone pouted. "I''d rather get sunburned than die of heatstroke!"


    Morpheus took her hand to lead her into the cafe.


    However, Persephone pulled him across the street. A beautiful sports car was parked there—its sleek


    body exuding elegance and the unique chocte color shimmering in the sunlight.

    Morpheus was taken aback. "This..."


    "I bought this!" Persephone couldn''t hide her excitement. "Morpheus, do you know? I earned it myself!


    "My fireworks design won an award and the factory got orders quickly As the designer I get a share


    from the factory... Hehe! I bought this car with that share!"


    "Really?" Morpheus was genuinely happy for her. "You''re amazing!


    "Oh, I see." He looked like realization struck him. "You drove here today because you wanted me to


    ride in your new car and take a joyride?"


    "It''s not mine." She smiled, then handed him the keys. "It''s yours."


    "What?"


    "It''s my gift to you." Persephone''s cheeks blushed, her pretty eyes sparkling. "I''m not just a parasite


    relying on my family... I have the ability to earn money!


    "And the first fortune I dug up, I want to share it with you!"


    "I..." Morpheus was about to speak but was suddenly silenced by her hand covering his mouth.


    "You''re not allowed to refuse!" she asserted. "Isn''t loving someone like this? Isn''t it about giving them


    the best you can?"
