| Chapter 0505 In the heart of the north, within the storied walls of the Jess family, the final hours of Gerald's day-long wake were drawing to a close. In the hushed funeral parlor, his casket lay open as the funeral director applied the last touches of makeup before the cremation and interment.

"Master." The butler, Quidel, cast a discreet glance at the nearby mourners, his gaze lingering on the Xanthos family before he hurried over to Erick, speaking in a hushed tone. "We've just received word from our inside man.

Amber, the General Manager of the New Chesire Group, has just landed up north and is set to meet with

Callie!" Hmm? A spark of interest lit up Erick's eyes.

What an opportunity! With the northern elite families all in attendance for the Jess family's funeral, as well as Caleb Kane, Ywain Xanthos, and the patriarchs of the other major houses, along with their retinues of skilled guards. The timing was perfect.

That meant Callie would be without her top fighters, guarded only by a handful of skilled bodyguards. Striking then would be the chance of a lifetime! "You'll handle this one yourself." Erick's voice was a low growl, meant

only for Quidel's ears. "Take Vischer with you. Gerald's boy, Vischer, needs to get his hands dirty. Let him be the one to finish off those two women." Quidel nodded subtly, casting one last look at Ywain and the other mourners, then swiftly exited the funeral parlor.

With Vischer, eight of the Jess family's finest, and a squad of ten skilled fighters, they raced toward the Xanthos Industrial Park.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Xanthos Industrial Park.

The sleek car from New Chesire Group's local branch had eased to a halt in the parking lot just outside the industrial park. Amber had insisted on coming alone, leaving even Rebeca and

Ray behind, as she made her way to the park's entrance.

A striking silhouette awaited her.

Callie! She stood beside a chic electric scooter, gesturing for Amber to hop on the back like they were long-lost pals. They cruised down the road bordering the industrial park. Callie's voice tinged with nostalgia as she said, "It's been ages since I've ridden one of these. I had my people fetch it just for your visit.

"The last time I remember riding one, Alex and I had a little adventure, sneaking off to the hills to pick wild fruit..." Amber bit her lips.

She had claimed once that she and Alex

were inseparable as kids, but he flat- out denied it, chalking it up to a simple case of looking similar. Then, Amber was not so sure.

"I can't figure out why he'd deny it or where his old scars went." Pedaling along, Callie glanced back at Amber with a knowing smile. ""And you know, despite the years and his changed looks, I'm positive he's my Alex, my dear Alex..." Dear Alex? That term of endearment sent a pang through Amber, but she quickly steadied herself, her eyes softening with a warmth she had never shown before. "Let me share my own tale with Alex, starting from six years back..."

She poured out their story, the six- year saga with Alexander, from the spark of their first meeting to the deep” bond of love, their wedding, the joy of their daughter's birth, the pain of separation, the tangle of misunderstandings, and the relief of clearing them up. Tears shimmered in her eyes as she spoke, "He's done so much for me, and all I've got to give is my full support and trust, no holding back! "My love for him won't ever be outdone by yours. It's even stronger...

Heck, it's stronger than anyone's! "He's my husband, my little girl's daddy. It doesn't matter if he's your Alex, he's mine alone! If anything threatens to take him from me, I'd lay down my life to keep him without a second thought!"
