Yumi could not refuse Donoghue as the man was the Emperor. Her rejection would mean that she wanted to defy
his orders—she would be beheaded.
Then, Donoghue and Florian exchanged a few more pleasantries. After that, Donoghue instructed the eunuch to
send Florian off.
Yumi, on the other hand, was to stay in the palace. They had arranged for her to live in a small compound where
Susan was also staying.
At that moment, in the small courtyard.
Susan sat in her room. Even though she was not bound, her acupoints were sealed. There were guards in the
compound, so she could not escape.
Susan sighed sadly as she watched the night sky.
Her husband was dead, and Donoghue had trapped her there. Could she not escape that tragic fate?

Suddenly, she heard some footsteps outside her room. Then, a petite figure entered her room. She was as
beautiful as a flower. However, she looked quite depressed.
It was Yumi Griff. She had been made to stay in the palace, and she was in a panic. She was afraid that Donoghue
would defile her again. At that point, Yumi could only pray and hope for the best.
“Madam Susan!”
Once she entered the room, Yumi smiled and said slowly, “How have you been—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Susan interrupted her.
“Leave!” Susan’s gorgeous face was ice cold. “I do not want to see you, nor do I have any interest in talking to
you.” Her voice was not loud, but it was unquestionable.
Yumi was the reason the people in the World Universe slandered and defamed Darryl. How could Susan not know
her?
Then, Susan turned around and ignored Yumi.
Woo!
Yumi was extremely annoyed with that rejection.
‘She is nothing but a lowly captive; how could she be so arrogant?’
However, Yumi did not dare to do anything. After all, she was in Westrington and not her own territory. After a few
awkward seconds, Yumi did not wish to stay there anymore. She turned around and went to the next room to rest.
Once she entered the room, Yumi laid on the bed and fell asleep.
She was exhausted from her journey.
Squeak!
After a while, Yumi groggily heard the door open.
Gasp!
Yumi thought that Susan was there to find her; she immediately sat up. She shuddered when she saw who it was;

It was a figure in a golden dragon robe; he looked handsome, but his eyes had hints of maliciousness.
It was Donoghue!
“You—”
Yumi was scared half to death. She bit her lips and said nervously, “What do you want? You—”
Yumi knew that Donoghue would be there to look for her, but she did not expect that he would be that quick!
Donoghue laughed before he curled his lips into a smile. He said, “Hello gorgeous, long time no see. Don’t you
recognize me anymore? I still remember when we traveled from the World Universe to the New World. We had
each other for company; it was such a magical journey.”
Jab!
Then, Donoghue suddenly struck her. He was as swift as lightning when he jabbed at Yumi’s acupoints!
Yumi could barely react. She was suddenly immobile.
“You—” Yumi gritted her teeth. Donoghue was already an emperor; she did not expect he would still play dirty.
