The aversion that she had toward Lacey was very complicated.

Meanwhile, at Zeke's presidential suite, Lacey was preparing breakfast for Zeke and Missy in the private kitchen.

While she was busy cooking in the kitchen, she saw Missy crawling out of her bed with a dazed look on her face.

Missy's movement was sluggish and her eyes were closed as she walked toward the balcony.

Is she sleepwalking?

Seeing that, Lacey quickly went up to stop her in her tracks. “Missy, wake up.”

Zeke, who was woken up by Lacey's voice, dashed over to them. “Lacey, what's the matter?”

Lacey replied, “Missy was sleepwalking just now. She was heading toward the balcony with her eyes closed. Thank

God I noticed her getting out of her bed. If I hadn't, she could've...”

Sleepwalking? Was she really just sleepwalking?

Zeke frowned as he gazed toward the direction of the balcony.

He glanced over the balcony and saw Throne Lake in the distance.

Even though Zeke didn't possess any sensing capabilities, he was still able to feel the dense Fortuna oozing out of

the lake.

Hmm, it seems like the second Fortuna has matured.

Zeke explained to Lacey, “I don't think Missy was sleepwalking. She was just reacting to the concentrated Fortuna in

Throne Lake, which seemed to attract her.”

Missy slowly opened her eyes.

Lacey hurriedly queried, “Missy, what happened to you just now?”

Missy's eyes were bleary as she responded, “I felt a mysterious force calling out to me just now. My body then sort

of moved on its own. I tried to wake myself up but to no avail.”

Lacey took a glance at Zeke.

He was right. Missy was reacting to the Fortuna in the lake.

“Lacey, you should eat your breakfast first. Once you finish eating, you can bring Missy to Throne Lake and expose

her to the Fortuna there. It'll be good for her.”

“Okay.”

The three of them started to eat their breakfast.

Once they were done eating, they headed to Throne Lake together.

Coincidentally, they ran into Josephine on their excursion to the lake.

Walking out of her room, Josephine was drowsy-eyed. Her hair was messy, and there were bruises on her face as

well as her neck.

Needless to say, Charles was the one who gave her those bruises.

Lacey took the initiative to greet her, “Good morning, Josephine.”

Josephine had a menacing look on her face as she glared at Lacey.

She then turned around and left without saying anything.

Lacey's such an abhorrent woman. Everything has gone awry because of her! She must pay for what she did with

her life. Charles will finally be mine when she's dead!

Perplexed, Lacey queried, “What's wrong with Josephine?”

Zeke patted Lacey's shoulder before uttering, “Lacey, you should refrain from associating with this type of person.”

“Why?” Lacey was confused.

She wasn't aware of the incident that occurred last night.

Zeke smiled slightly. “Her eyes were filled with bloodlust when she glared at you just now. There's no doubt she

wants to hurt you.”

In shock, Lacey covered her mouth. “No way! We've been neighbors for so many years. There's no way she would

want to hurt me, right?”

Zeke caressed her hair and replied, “You're way too naive, Lacey. That being said, you don't have to worry. With me

by your side, no one would dare to lay a hand on you.”

Charles, who had just come out of Josephine's room, overheard Zeke's statement.

Livid, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

“Zeke Williams, I'll kill you today no matter what!”

Since it was the Dragon Headraising Day today, Throne Lake was swarming with copious amounts of people.

There was twice the number of people at Throne Lake compared to yesterday.

They were all craving for the Fortuna in the lake, hoping their luck would be better if they lingered around for long

enough.

As the fireworks went off, the people started dancing and singing.
