Years ago, the princess of The rfolk Kingdom was slain on the spot when Serena Sterling led the Iron Wolf Cavalry to pierce through her heart. However, what nobody knew was that the princess had a twin sister, and the other princess died of massive bleeding after giving birth to Miles Linden.
Everyone believed The rfolk Kingdom was destroyed, unaware that a bloodline still persisted — the young master Miles Linden.
Miles Linden closed his striking eyes briefly and then said, "I understand."
The man in black was relieved. A century ago, the ancestor of Alani left a prophecy that Alani would have a daughter, surpassingly beautiful in the world. In fact, a century ago, the ancestor of The rfolk also left a prophecy, foretelling that a hundred years later, The rfolk Kingdom would give birth to its first young master, who would be Alani’s doom.
It was destined that Miles was the inescapable romantic tribulation of Willow Crawford’s life.
So when Miles was born, he carried the hope of the entire rfolk Kingdom. And Miles had never disappointed anyone; he planned ticulously, advancing step by step, executing each plan perfectly, proving himself the strongest young master.
At that mont, the sound of knocking echoed, and outside ca Zachary’s anxious voice, "Miles! Miles, open the door quickly, it’s bad, sister is in trouble!"
Plans, as expected, arrived on schedule.
Miles glanced at the man in black.
The man in black nodded respectfully, then vanished eerily from the room, as if he had never been there.
Miles went to open the door, "What happened?"
"Miles," Zachary grabbed Miles, panting, "Miles, you have to stand tall, sister is in trouble, sister has disappeared!"
...
News of Celeste Linden’s trouble spread quickly; Willow heard about it while sitting in class.
Rachel Underwood exclaid excitedly, "Willow, haven’t you heard? Celeste Linden from the Linden family is in trouble!"
Sister Linden is in trouble?
Willow’s heart skipped a beat, "Rachel, what happened to Sister Linden?"
"I heard that the Barnes father and son turned against each other over Celeste Linden, both fighting fiercely over her, staining the dock with blood." Rachel detailed vividly.
What?
The Barnes father and son turned against each other over Sister Linden, staining the dock with blood?
"I heard that today Ethan Barnes was going to take Celeste Linden away, but his father secretly took a liking to Celeste and tried to sneak her away, only to be discovered by Ethan at the dock. Ethan shot his own father, killing him on the spot."
Ethan Barnes’s father is dead?
Ethan shot his father dead?
Even though Willow wasn’t at the scene, she could sense the shock of the dockside confrontation.
Ethan Barnes, naturally rebellious and vicious, has always been known for his ruthless and extre thods, yet he personally ended his father’s life, which was startling.
They all say Ethan Barnes is a little devil, and it’s not untrue.
Willow had no interest in the Barnes father and son, her concern was for Celeste Linden, "Rachel, where is Sister Linden now, is she hurt?"
Willow truly broke out in a sweat for Celeste Linden, imagining Ethan’s fury. Having killed his father, the next target of his wrath would be Celeste Linden.
Previously, Ethan Barnes cruelly sold Celeste to 1949Club and had her right leg broken, if she had fallen into Ethan’s hands again, her fate would be worse than death.
"Willow, Celeste Linden has disappeared."
"Disappeared?"
"Yes, it’s said that during the Barnes family shootout, Celeste vanished, and now Ethan is searching everywhere for Celeste, without any news."
Willow’s taut nerves finally relaxed, disappearance was good, disappearance was good, Sister Linden, you must run, don’t co back, never be caught by Ethan again.
If Ethan ever catches Celeste Linden again, it will be the beginning of another hell.
Willow cald down, considering that today’s happenings seed unusual, as if Sister Linden planned them deliberately, could this be her plan?
Sister Linden is a girl who appears gentle on the outside but is strong inside, harboring imnse energy within. If this was her plan, then Sister Linden had erged reborn from the fire; wherever she might be now, she would ensure her well-being.
Perhaps in two years, five years, ten years, when Willow sees Sister Linden again, she might not even recognize her.
Suddenly, Willow thought of a question: What about Miles?
With Sister Linden’s abrupt disappearance, does he know? Is he heartbroken?
Could Ethan, that demon, turn his anger on Miles, placing him in danger?
Willow turned her head, looking at Miles’s seat.
The seat was empty; Miles hadn’t co today.
"Willow, this Sister Linden is truly remarkable. Four years ago, Ethan Barnes and Miles fought over her at 1949Club, and four years later, the Barnes father and son fought over her at the dock; she’s living the way we won dream of. It’s legendary, I’m starting to admire her... Hey, Willow, what are you looking at?"
Willow quickly turned her head, "I’m not looking at anything."
"Oh, I get it, Willow, you’re looking at Miles, aren’t you?" Rachel blinked playfully.
"No such thing, I’m going to the restroom." Willow took the opportunity to rush out.
Walking along the corridor, Willow felt uneasy, her mind filled with thoughts of Miles; she admitted she was genuinely worried about him.
Willow was a bit upset, this ti with herself; she wasn’t putting up a fight. He deceives her, behaves wildly when drunk, yet she keeps thinking about him.
Back against the wall, Willow recalled last night in the dark alley, his fiery temperature, erratic breathing, and the sudden kiss...
He held her tightly, his voice hoarse as he whispered, "Willow, I like you."
Willow closed her eyes, tightly clenching and releasing her fists, admitting at last — yes, Willow, you like him too, you’ve fallen for Miles.
Willow is in love with Miles.
...
The Barnes Family Old Mansion.
The mansion was eerily quiet, not a sound to be heard. The servants inside dared not utter a word, the atmosphere was so oppressive that even breathing seed difficult.
Smack.
The old master of the Barnes family delivered a slap to Ethan’s face.
Ethan stood straight in the living room, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, the pants tucked into black leather boots, giving him the appearance of a noble warlord stepping out of a TV screen.
His white shirt was drenched in blood — the fresh blood of his father.
The old master put a lot of force into the slap, Ethan’s handso face was knocked to one side. Yet he showed no expression, slowly turning his face back, using the back of his hand to wipe the blood from his lips, he was bleeding.
Pressing his tongue against his right cheek, he parted his thin lips, "Finished hitting ? I have things to do, I’ll be going back now."
"Unfilial child, halt! What’s the urgency to go back?"
"Oh," Ethan curved his lips into a faint sneer, his eyes exuding a terrifying chill, "I need to go back and find Celeste Linden."
