Chapter 2035
The December afternoon snow outside Zovince fell in large, feather–like
flakes. Yet, the woman in the luxury car had skin even whiter than the snow
falling outside the window. Her delicate oval face exuded an icy aloofness,
and her cold, piercing eyes reminded one of an icy beauty. Her skin was so
pale, and her features so perfect, that she didn’t even seem real–more like
an Al–rendered image of the ideal woman.
“Darling!” Maxwell was momentarily taken aback but quickly broke into a
sycophantic smile as he walked over to her. To any onlooker, it would seem
like the classic story of a lovesick fool doting on a goddess.
Chiara’s expression was even colder than the falling snow outside. Her isy
glare fixed on him as she spoke, “I heard you booked three tickets for this
hunt. Who are you planning to bring along?”

Maxwell glanced around to make sure no one else was around, then lowered
his voice. “Darling, don’t jump to conclusions. I’m on a family mission.”
What kind of mission requires you to come hunting?” Chiara matched his low
tone, though her eyes remained filled with suspicion.
“It involves your family, too.” Maxwell grinned, deliberately trying to pique her
curiosity.
Chiara immediately pressed, “Don’t think I don’t know you’re just here to pick
úp girls. How could it possibly involve my family? Or is it something to do with
me?”

Everyone in the upper echelons of Zovince society knew that Maxwell, heir to
the Zelinsky family, was heavily controlled by his wife. She was constantly

overseeing his actions. In the public’s eyes, their marriage was a mismatch
Maxwell was seen as a dull–witted fool, while Chiara was a stunning beauty,
both intelligent and graceful. Despite this, she married Maxwell, and their
nion had been arranged even before Maxwell became heir apparent to the
Zelinsky family. This led many to believe that Chiara had foreseen Maxwell’s
eventual rise to power over Magnus despite Magnus‘ superior reputation at
the time.
“Haha, no, darling, don’t be like that! You know you’re the only one in my
heart,” Maxwell grinned as he leaned in to whisper in her ear. “My father sent
me to retrieve the Dragon Tome. Ashton Summerton can help us.”
“What? The Dragon Tome?” Chiara’s eyes widened in shock, her expression
gradually hardening into a narrow–eyed glare.

As a member of the Lannister family, Chiara had been trained in martial arts
from a young age. She knew exactly how important the Dragon Tome was in
the martial world and how valuable it could be to her family. But the tome
Nad vanished thirty years ago–how could it suddenly reappear in Zovince?
Moreover, she know more about the Dragon Tome than most. Information
that even Maxwell was unaware of had been passed down in the Lannister
family: the Dragon Tome that disappeared three decades ago might have
been a fake, while the real one’s whereabouts remained unknown.
Of course, Chiara wasn’t entirely certain of the truth, but there was one
undeniable fact: the Dragon Tome had been in the Lannister family for
generations, yet no one from the family had ever been able to master it. Even
her grandfather–hailed as the strongest of his time–had only grasped
eighty percent of its secrets before going mad due to inner demons. The
sudden reappearance of the Dragon Tome was likely part of some larger,

“That’s right. I’ve heard that a woman named Roselynn Lowe memorized the
entire tome. She’s related to Summerton by marriage. If we control Ashton,
she’ll lead us to Roselynn, and through her, we can get our hands on the
Dragon Tome,” Maxwell confidently explained as if he had everything under
control.
“I see… well, go ahead then,” Chiara responded nonchalantly. She didn’t love
Maxwell, and their political marriage left little room for genuine affection. It
was simply a matter of mutual benefit.
“Darling, there’s still one spot left. I saved it just for you,” Maxwell added
smoothly. “I knew you’d come. I need your help to put on a little show.”
Chiara stared icily at Maxwell. He grinned, a schemer through and through,

The two walked side by side, but there was no hint of intimacy between
them. Anyone unfamiliar with the pair would never guess they were married,
assuming instead that Maxwell was perhaps just a well–dressed bodyguard
or assistant.
At the same moment, Ashton arrived outside the building. She stepped out of
her car, reminding herself that she was there because of her date with
Nathan, not for any other reason. She resolved to ignore Maxwell entirely if
she crossed paths with him, but to her annoyance, she was stopped at the
door for not being a member.

“What are you talking about?” Ashton frowned, her already short temper
flaring up, and her face darkened with irritation.
“I can’t join you today because… well, she’s here too,” Maxwell said, gesturing
toward Chiara,
