Juliette didn't hesitate for a second before she replied, "Of course, Mr. Boyd!"

Dawson glanced at Leopold for confirmation before asking again, "So, Juliette, do you and Isaiah like him?" Juliette scoffed, "Of course not, we don't need a stepdad. Our dad will come back, Isaiah and I both know it." She was utterly confident as she spoke, but the expression on Leopold and Dawson's faces was complex. They had never fully explained the accident from five years ago to the children.

Firstly, they wanted to keep a glimmer of hope alive.

Secondly, Vivienne felt the same way.

She was convinced that the body found, despite matching Percival's DNA, wasn't him.

An unshakeable belief she held.

Because of it, she had been searching for five years.

Abroad.

At a mountain base.

Vivienne stood atop a high vantage point, coldly observing the man kneeling before her, shaking uncontrollably.

"Please, let me go. I just stole some worthless stuff. Take it all if you want..."

The man was desperately knocking his head on the ground, not daring to look up even as blood trickled from his forehead.

This place was a melting pot of dark forces, a lawless land.

But no matter who you encountered here, your life could be snuffed out in an instant.

He was just trying his luck and certainly didn't expect to risk his life.

Vivienne's gaze on the man, who bore a slight resemblance to Mr. Wolf from behind, dimmed the moment she laid eyes on him.

Even in disguise.

Mr. Wolf would never stoop to such behavior.

This man was not him!

After several hours of flying, she was tired. Pressing her temples, she ordered, "Thomas, destroy whatever he has, and make sure he doesn't show up here again." Thomas responded with a firm voice, "Yes."

Upon returning, Vivienne was reviewing documents in the office, all properties left by Mr. Wolf.
