"No." Morpheus shook his head. "She's an old member of the Hamertons. There's no reason for her to
help Rebecca. But when Sephy drove Rebecca away, perhaps the butler only instructed the people
below. She wouldn't personally handle it. So, I believe there's an issue among the subordinates."
"Sir, what do we do now?"
Morpheus remained silent for a while, then said slowly, "Contact the former Orton Troop."
Alfred and Marie were initially surprised by this statement, then showed signs of delight.
"Sir, have you already... made up your mind?"
Morpheus smiled faintly. He stood up and held their hands gently.
"You both have always been loyal to me, as were the former Orton Troop... I know you've always

At that moment, a clear voice came from outside. "Morpheus!"
Alfred immediately understood and chuckled. "The 'closed for business' sign has to be taken down. Our
only patron has arrived!"
Morpheus walked out with a smile. In the sunlight, Persephone's smile resembled sweet ice cream as
she enthusiastically waved at him.
"Why did you rush out like this?" Morpheus furrowed his brow. "Aren't you afraid of getting sunburned?"
Persephone grinned.

"It's okay. It's just too hot today!" Persephone pouted. "I'd rather get sunburned than die of heatstroke!"
Morpheus took her hand to lead her into the cafe.
However, Persephone pulled him across the street. A beautiful sports car was parked there—its sleek
body exuding elegance and the unique chocolate color shimmering in the sunlight.
Morpheus was taken aback. "This..."
"I bought this!" Persephone couldn't hide her excitement. "Morpheus, do you know? I earned it myself!
"My fireworks design won an award and the factory got orders quickly As the designer I get a share
from the factory... Hehe! I bought this car with that share!"
"Really?" Morpheus was genuinely happy for her. "You're amazing!
"Oh, I see." He looked like realization struck him. "You drove here today because you wanted me to

"It's not mine." She smiled, then handed him the keys. "It's yours."
"What?"
"It's my gift to you." Persephone's cheeks blushed, her pretty eyes sparkling. "I'm not just a parasite
relying on my family... I have the ability to earn money!
"And the first fortune I dug up, I want to share it with you!"
"I..." Morpheus was about to speak but was suddenly silenced by her hand covering his mouth.
"You're not allowed to refuse!" she asserted. "Isn't loving someone like this? Isn't it about giving them
the best you can?"
