of him clearly had murderous intent.
“You’re taking it that far?”
Sophie’s delicate face radiated a cold chill. “We can’t establish our position if we’re not ruthless. Simon is the one most likely to inherit the entire Fulmer family’s fortune. If my son rises to power, you’ll benefit too.”
After a pause, Sophie narrowed her eyes and continued, “Hunter, you’ll only ever get pocket money in the Sacre family. Outside of the Sacre family, you wouldn’t settle for a low–ranking position, and it’s impossible for you to start your own business. If you try, those old foxes in the Sacre family will stop you by any means.
“If you deal with Luna and stop Simon’s plan to go to Naavi, I’ll support my son’s rise. I’ll ensure you’ll have a life free from worry without needing to rely on the Sacre family.”
Sophie’s words in the dim living room were firm and resolute.
Hunter stared out at the moon through the window and reached out as though to grab it. Clearly, he was tempted.
“Fine, I’ll book a flight for tomorrow.”
Before leaving, Hunter pinched Sophie’s chin, his eyes cold and threatening. “I’ll kill you if you try to trick me.
Meanwhile, at the Baxter residence in Naavi, Lund had just finished an online class and was relaxing on the balcony’s wicker chair, leisurely tending to a small fire.
For the past month, she had stayed away from toxic relationships and immersed herself in her studies.
She felt revitalized, and her energy and spirits much improved.
As Luna was about to peel a grilled sweet potato, her phone suddenly rang.
Clover’s voice on the other end of the line carried a teasing tone. “Mr. Passionate Lover is now posting handwritten love letters all over the internet. Have you seen them?”

Luna furrowed her brow, her expression disdainful as though she had heard something extremely unpleasant.
“I haven’t been following the events in Lake City.”
Handwritten love letters? Why couldn’t Simon just let things end peacefully between them? “You don’t know, huh? This guy writes one letter every day and even posts videos of himself writing them. It’s moved the whole internet. Everyone’s talking about it.”
Clover continued detailing Simon’s recent actions, then abruptly shifted the topic. “By the way, I heard that Simon is planning to come to Naavi to see you in about a month.”
Luna froze for a moment while peeling the grilled sweet potato. “I’m not meeting him.”
On the other end of the phone, Clover stirred her honey water. “I know, but I’m worried that the agreement from five years ago will take effect if Simon comes to see you. If you don’t reconcile with him, he’ll lose both his love and wealth. Who knows what he might do when he goes mad!”
