Misael's question drew everyone's attention to the emerald pendant hanging at Robin's waist.

In the vast, quiet Dragon Ridge Valley, the world seemed to stop.

Time itself seemed to freeze for a moment.

The first rays of morning sunlight cut through the jagged cliffs above.

The light scattered across the landscape, casting colorful beams that danced across the peach blossoms, making the scene feel almost unreal.

The pendant caught the sunlight, sparkling in a brilliant array of colors.

A light breeze stirred the pendant, creating a soft, melodic sound as it tapped against the clasp.

It felt as though the pendant was whispering tales from the past.

Shirley's eyes were immediately drawn to the pendant. Her gaze softened in awe at its beauty.

Such an exquisite, enchanting piece.

She opened her mouth, as if to speak, but then thought better of it.

Some things are best left unsaid.

She could tell Robin didn't want to answer Misael's question.

Understanding that, she gently took his arm.

"The morning chill in the valley has left Renee quite weak. We should get her into the car right away."

Misael froze, suddenly realizing he had crossed a line.

"Apologies, Master Ramsey," he said quickly. "I'll have the Golden Dragon Guard escort you right now."

Robin gave a short nod. "I'm taking Renee back to Villa One.

"She'll need some time to rest there. Once she's better, we'll head back to Brighton."

"Yes, Master Ramsey!" Misael replied, immediately signaling the Golden Dragon Guard to start their convoy toward Villa One.

The convoy had only traveled a few minutes before it came to an abrupt halt.

"Colonel Lockwood, what's happening up ahead?" Robin asked, glancing between his sister and the front of the convoy. Misael's voice crackled through the earpiece.noveldrama

"General, the road ahead has collapsed. We can't get through. We'll need to find another way."

"Collapsed? When did that happen? Wasn't everything fine when we came through last nigh

Ferell, hearing the report from the front, responded quickly.

"General, the road up the mountain likely collapsed around carly this morning, just as you and Ms. Renee were entering Peachgrove." Robin nodded and gave a swift command. "Have the convoy take a detour."

At once, the Golden Dragon Guard convoy changed direction and moved along another outer ring road, heading for Villa One. Inside the spacious, luxurious RV, Robin sat beside Shirley, Daphne, and Rita, all keeping close to Rence as she rested quietly. Shirley looked at Renee, her face softening with a smile "Robin, you and your sister really do look alike.

"Seeing you both together like this, it makes me so happy. I can't help but smile."

Shirley's voice grew quieter, filled with longing.

"I've always dreamed of a simple life with my parents, just being together. But that dream... it's one I'll never get to live."

Daphne and Rita exchanged understanding looks and nodded in agreement.

What would it be like to live in a world free from harm and conflict? A world where a family could be together, happy, and safe?

Such a simple wish seemed out of reach-harder to achieve than any fortune could ever be.

And maybe it was a dream that could never come true.

There are always those who linger in the shadows the schemers, the selfish, the evil-hearted, those who can't bear to see others happy. They spread their darkness like pests, multiplying with each passing year.

After a brief silence, Shirley gazed down at Renee, her expression soft and full of warmth.

"To reunite after twenty years... wh?

kind of fate

does it take for something like that to happen?" she wondered aloud. "It's a kind of luck that most people can't even imagine."

Robin shook his head, his tone serious. "It's not just luck.

"If it hadn't been for Mrs. Lorelei and the others, enduring all those tough years, protecting Renee, we wouldn't be here today. This reunion, all of it, was meant to happen.

"There are still good, kind people in the world. The ones who show love, who help others-those are the ones we should remember and be thankful for.

"But the ones who've hurt us, the ones who are cruel, who take pleasure in the suffering of others--they'll be forgotten. They'll never be forgiven."

Shirley listened carefully, her gaze fixed on Robin's strong, determined face.

A warm, contented smile spread across her lips.

Shirley, completely lost in the moment, had forgotten hat anyone else was in the car. She leaned against Robin's shoulder, her voice quiet as she murmured, "Robin, you and Renec are so lucky. I want to be with you both forever." Daphne glanced from Rence to Robin and then at Shirley, who was clearly in a daze. Her cheeks flushed a deep red.

She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but the words never came.

Rita, sensing the awkward silence, blurted, "Sir, Ms. Daphne feels the same. You're really a great person!"

The car fell silent. Everyone froze, unsure of what to say next.

Shirley's bright smile quickly faded, replaced by a mix of embarrassment and confusion. Daphne, processing Rita's words, felt heat rise to her face. It spread quickly to her neck.

She reached over and lightly tapped Rita's head. "What on earth are you talking about?"

Rita wasn't deterred. "Ms. Daphne, does that mean you don't like being with Mr. Robin? Or that he's not good enough?"

Daphne's face turned crimson. "Of course, I like being with him! He's the best man in the world!"

Rita, clearly not understanding the situation, pouted. "Then what's the problem?"

Daphne was at a loss for words, her flustered expression making it clear. "Rita, you're impossible!" Shirley chuckled, easing the tension. "Rita sure is something else."

Daphne turned to Robin and Shirley, still red in the face. "Sorry, sir, Ms. Dunn. Rita's a bit spoiled..."

Realizing she might have gone too far, Rita quickly added, "Master, Miss Dunn, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ..."

The car fell into a heavy silence before Rita spoke again, her voice smaller this time. "Mrs. Leif ... I'm hungry."

The sudden shift in the atmosphere left everyone feeling a bit awkward.

Robin glanced at Daphne, then at Rita, and finally at Shirley. "Was that Renee just now?"

Shirley nodded. "Yes, I heard it too. It was definitely Renee."

Robin nodded in response. "Alright. Ferell, tell Misael to pull over at the breakfast shop up ahead."

Robin and Shirley got out of the car and walked toward the small breakfast shop.

A few months ago, Robin had been here with Vera.

They had waited in line for

some good old breakfast and even helped Rosalie handle a troublemaker.

The line outside the shop was just as long as it had been before.

Noticing Rohin lost in thought Shirley casually asked Rohin did you know Rosalie left the company?"
