Estelle watched as Jonathan’s eyelids grew heavy and gently fell shut on the screen, his long lashes
casting faint shadows under his weary eyes.
He was truly exhausted.
She understood his anxiety and concern he had been carrying over the past few days, all the restraint
he had exhibited—for her.
She knew every facet of his love for her.
Estelle gazed unblinkingly at his sleeping face, a mixture of joy and sorrow swelling in her heart.
Overwhelmed, her eyes brimmed with tears as she whispered softly, “Honey, I love you!”
If their time together in the hidden chamber was the awakening of her feelings, a different kind of
affection beyond camaraderie, then venturing to J City was a quest to understand those unfamiliar
emotions.
But it was only after really being with him and getting to know him that she realized how wonderful he

His love was a transfusion of new blood into her life, a ray of light piercing the gloom of her existence,
breathing new life into her.
Estelle tilted her head, admiring his handsome, tranquil features, and couldn’t help but smile, her eyes
shining like stars.
Jonathan had truly fallen asleep, missing the words that would have thrilled him to ecstasy.
The next morning, as Lambert descended the stairs, he found Alvis and his companion Beverly seated
in the living room. They were still wearing the masks from the previous day, as if it was their usual
attire.
For some reason, Lambert sensed a tinge of disgust in Alvis’s gaze toward him.
He frowned slightly but his face quickly brightened with a smile as he approached, “I apologize for not
visiting Mr. Alvis sooner, and now you’ve had to come to me so early. That’s quite remiss of me.”
Alvis responded with a detached tone, “No need for apologies. I’m here to discuss the matter of new
energy with Mr. Brennan.”
Lambert raised an eyebrow, “So, you’re interested in new energy as well?”
“New energy threatens the oil market in my federation. Of course, I’m interested!” Alvis replied flatly,
giving nothing away.
Sensing Alvis’s hostility toward him, Lambert thought he was opposed to a partnership with Raiden, but
with a twist of his lips, he said with a light smile, “We can discuss the details of cooperation with
Raiden. There’s no need for hostility between us—instead, we could become partners.”
Alvis said nothing, sipping his coffee without a hint of leaving.
Sylvia chimed in with a warm smile, “Mr. Brennan, where is your companion? We had such a delightful
conversation yesterday. I was hoping she could show me around Zion.”
Lambert replied with a smile, “She’s still asleep. I’ll wake her up. If Ms. Beverly and Mr. Alvis would
excuse me.”
Feeling the man beside her tense up, Sylvia quickly interjected, “I can go and wake her!”

“No need!” Lambert refused outright, “She’s quite shy and not fond of strangers entering her room. I’ll
go.”
As Lambert turned toward the stairs, Sylvia caught a glimpse of Jonathan’s intent to stand and quickly

I believe you trust her even more.”
Jonathan took a deep breath and settled back into the couch, his gaze fixed on the upstairs, his
expression beneath the mask turning grim.
He had just dealt with a Manley, and now here was this Lambert emerging out of nowhere, with
perhaps a history with Stella he knew nothing about!
He should strap them both to a rocket and send them off to colonize a new planet—let them contribute
to human propagation!
Sylvia whispered, “Lambert surely doesn’t know Estelle’s real identity. Don’t worry too much!”
Jonathan replied in a heavy, measured tone, “It’s not Ella that I’m worried about. I’m figuring out how to
send Lambert to meet his maker.”
Lambert didn’t let Sylvia go upstairs, partly because he didn’t trust her as she was from Alvis’ circle,
and partly because he didn’t want anyone to be aware of Estelle’s current physical condition, to prevent
her from being exploited.
