Catherine was taken aback for a moment. Once she regained her senses, her pretty face instantly turned red.
What on earth is this scoundrel thinking about In broad daylight?
“S-Stop messing around. I still have a lot of things to deal with. Once I'm done, we need to hurry back to save Luna.”
Simon ignored her, quickening his pace even more.
We need to deal with the situation and save Luna, but we also have to take care of our main responsibilities.
“When we go back to see Luna, let's tell her she's going to be a big sister. I think she'll be really happy. Who knows? Her happiness might even cure her illness.”
Catherine's heart thumped. Watching him speak nonsense with such seriousness, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
I thought he had become more mature and steady recently, but it turns out he's still the same old rascal.
“Take it easy, and don't go overboard. I really have a lot of things to deal with.”
Simon's main goal was to lure her into the room. So, whatever she said, he naturally responded accordingly.
As for what happened after she boarded his pirate ship... Well, he would call the shots then.
Take it easy?
Impossible!
He had endured for so many years, and now that he finally had the chance, he was determined to make up for all those lost years in one go.
After Simon carried Catherine into the master bedroom on the second floor, Catherine's face turned even redder.
“This is my private room. Could you possibly choose somewhere else?”
Choose somewhere else?
Only a fool would do that.
I've already set my sight on this room.
“You've lived here for over twenty years, and now you've pledged your love to me in this very place. It's perfect.”
“Simon... Mmph.”
Two days later, Cameron called Kurt, saying that the malicious woman from the White family had been controlled and they had obtained the seal from the White family.
In fact, the malicious woman from the White family had already been put under house arrest by Wilfred. However, he just didn't let anyone know.
That was because the wicked woman's younger brother sought refuge with the head of the White family at a critical moment. He publicly claimed that the malicious woman was unwell. Therefore, no one in the family noticed anything unusual these days.
Artemis sought out Wilfred, borrowed the seal from him, and then set a trap, leading Kurt into a pitfall.
After obtaining the seal, Cameron immediately called Kurt to arrange a meeting for the transaction.
Kurt was a very cautious individual. Upon hearing Cameron claim that he had obtained the family seal, he didn't immediately believe him. He simply said he would consider the location for the transaction and contact the other party again in a day.
Inside the manor's study.
After Cameron hung up the phone, he looked up at Bailey across from him.
“He must have gone to investigate the White family's situation. Have you guys arranged everything over there?”
Bailey nodded. “Don't worry. Artemis has already set a trap with Old Mr. White. We're just waiting for Kurt to fall into it.”
After hearing this, Cameron stopped worrying. He felt at ease knowing that Bailey and Artemis were handling the matter.
He initially thought that after Kurt confirmed that something had indeed happened to the White family and the seal was lost, he would straightforwardly propose a trade with us by handing Blaze over.
Unexpectedly, when he contacted Cameron the next day, he added another condition—he wanted the malicious woman from the White family.
Left with no other choice, Artemis had to go and ask Wilfred to hand over his mistress to him.
Wilfred didn't have any objections, and he only reminded Artemis that the malicious woman knew all about their plans.
He said that if Artemis didn't want her to blabber in front of Kurt, the latter must keep her mouth shut.
