“Stefan!”


    “Stefan!” King Ducasse grabbed Stefan’s cor and raised his hand, wanting to beat Stefan violently!


    Stefan nced at him indifferently, not caring about his anger. Instead, there was apathy in his eyes.


    King Ducasse gritted his teeth. If Stefan wasn’t injured now, he would beat him hard!


    “Whether you ept it or not, she is your biological mother! She made a terrible mistake, anyone else can me her, except you!”


    When Catherine became insane, she still remembered Stefan, but Stefan appeared so heartless.


    As Stefan listened to these words, unfathomable emotions filled his eyes.


    How ridiculous!


    “I don’t me her because I don’t even know her.”


    If it weren’t for Martha being here, Stefan would never havee to this country at all. He would always be the president of the Harrison Group.


    He loathes the bloodline ethics that restrained him!


    “From my birth to now, my memory tells me my name is Stefan Harrison and I am part of the Harrisons.”


    “You!” King Ducasse couldn’t take it anymore and didn’t care about Stefan’s injuries as he swung his fist towards him.


    At this time, the door was pushed open with a “bang”, and a woman’s voice stopped them.


    “King Ducasse, stop it!”


    Both of them looked towards the voice.


    Seeing theer, King Ducasse stopped his attack, but didn’t let go of Stefan, while Stefan didn’t break free, looking like an innocent bystander instead of someone who almost got hit.


    Martha heard King Ducasse’s voice right outside the door, and knew why King Ducasse was furious now.


    She also understood how Stefan was feeling.


    “Everyone has their own choice. Even if you are a king, you cannot force your will on others.”


    Martha’s words sounded particrly ridiculous to King Ducasse.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    He was the highest power holder in this country, if he really wanted to exert pressure on someone, there would be no one daring or able enough to resist it.


    He released his grip on Stefans’ cor as all traces of anger dissipated into endless indifference.


    “You can’t leave without my permission.”


    That being the case, he exercised his right to detain them both.


    He wouldn’t allow Stefan to leave Z Country without acknowledging Catherine as his mother!


    King Ducasse turned and walked away, his gaze passing over Martha as they brushed shoulders.


    “If I hadn’t called off the wedding, you would have been my wife.”


    Martha understood the meaning behind those words.


    While she was grateful for King Ducasse’s cancetion of wedding, it didn’t mean she had to agree with any of his actions.


    The room fell silent, and Martha walked up to Stefan, looking at him in silence.


    They were caught in a dilemma where choosing one side meant giving up the other.


    Martha couldn’t be with the son of her mother’s murderer, and if Stefan acknowledged Catherine, she would cut all ties with him forever.


    But if he chose her, they could leave together and stay by each other’s side without ever separating again.


    This was her final concession.


    “Don’t worry; we’ll leave here.”


    Stefan took her hand; this was his promise that he would keep.


    Martha nodded, leaned gently in his arms, and listened to his heartbeat before asking softly, “Would you regret choosing me?”


    “No.” Stefan said quietly.


    Even without Martha, he wouldn’t acknowledge Catherine as his mother.


    Martha closed her eyes with a smile on her lips.


    She didn’t regret giving up everything rted to the Lucas family and choosing to be with him either.
