Joey was driven crazy by his torment, and finally couldn''t hold back, biting Ryan''s corbone.


    The intense stimtion made Ryan groan. The blood in his body surged instantly.


    Ryan looked down at Joey, who was delicate in his arms, his voice hoarse. "Baby, is it okay?"


    Joey''s just-recovered sanity was shattered by the word ''baby.'' This was what Sebastian used to call her. Every time they were intimate, he would whisper ''baby'' in her ear, making her fall into his domineering and passionate affairs again and again.


    Joeyy in Ryan''s arms, her breath a bit erratic. Her voice also became a bit hoarse. "I have a case to attend to this afternoon."


    Seeing her restrained and enduring expression, Ryan didn''t want to make things difficult for her. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. "Okay, then I''ll make you feel good so you''ll have the energy for court."


    With that, he quickened his hand movements. Joey couldn''t help but let out a moan. After two years, his lovemaking skills had not diminished but had be even better.


    Joey was made weak all over by him, and in the end, she copsed in his arms, panting heavily. Her delicate face was now flushed with a post-passion glow. Her bright eyes were filled with a watery glow, making her look even more alluring.


    Ryan finally decided to let her go. He took out a tissue to clean his hands, then held Joey and sat on the sofa. "What do you want to drink, coffee or juice?"


    Joey''s voice was soft. "I want water."


    Seeing her charming appearance, Ryan couldn''t help but kiss her again. "Okay, I''ll get it for you."


    Ryan got up and poured Joey a ss of water. Just then, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, he immediately answered.


    Leonard''s voice came from the other end. "Ryan, there''s movement from Kevin. Someone is trying to bail him out."


    Ryan frowned slightly, his voice low. "It''s someone from the royal family."


    Leonard was surprised. "How do you know?"


    "I checked the emerald my grandfather gave me. It''s made from the same gemstone as the one Queen Elsa has. They have been passed down for over a hundred years, and it''s said that putting the two gems together can unlock a treasure. I think the person behind this is after the treasure."


    "Why would such an important thing be with your grandfather? Does he have some connection with the royal family?"


    "The connection with the royal family should be through our grandmother. Many years ago, before Queen Elsa became queen, she had a baby girl with her first love. Later, her mother forced her to break up with her first love and marry a nobleman to secure the throne.


    The baby girl was sent to an orphanage, and I think my grandmother was that baby girl.


    Over the years, Queen Elsa has been having me search for this child because the royal family currently has no suitable heir.


    This move angered several princes. My car ident, our grandmother''s death, and the bigmotion caused by the ck Wind Society were all to prevent Queen Elsa from finding her child. They want the key to the treasure, not the person."


    Hearing this, Leonard was a bit worried. "ording to this logic, we all have royal blood, and both Mom and Bianca have the potential to inherit the throne. So, when they saw Mom go crazy, they imprisoned Bianca to prevent Queen Elsa from finding them."


    "Yes, at first we thought it was Kevin''s scheme, using Bianca to threaten me to give up control of the Winters Family. Later, I realized that without help, Kevin couldn''t have mobilized the Snowpeakia royal family. So, the person behind this is likely someone from the royal family."


    "What do we do now? Let Kevin go back? Once he inherits the Guise Family, it will be hard to catch him again."


    "Don''t worry, now that I know the mastermind, I''m not afraid of Kevin. The next step is topletely take down the mastermind. You take good care of Mom."


    "I understand."


    After hanging up the phone, Ryan saw Joey staring at him intently. She asked, "So the evidence you left for the intruder that day was rted to this case?"


    Ryan walked over, smiling as he ruffled her hair. "You really are the topwyer in the legal world, you guessed it right away. I just left a clue to test the identity of the person behind this."


    "Do you have a target?"


    "Pretty much, but this person is not easy to deal with. He has many mercenaries and a strong private team. He is also the founder of the ck Wind Society. Kevin is just a useful tool in his hands. He wants to find what he wants through Kevin."


    Hearing this, Joey felt a chill down her spine and thought, ''Kevin alone almost destroyed my family back then. If it were this person, wouldn''t it be even more dangerous?''


    Seeing her pale face, Ryan smiled and brushed her cheek. "Are you scared?"

    Joey looked at him deeply. "I don''t want anything to happen to you. I don''t want the hope I just found to be shattered again. Can you promise me that no matter what happens, you will stay alive?"


    Ryan hugged her and kissed her forehead. "I promise you, I won''t let you and Paxon be alone."


    He took a few documents from the table and handed them to Joey. "Look at this, it''s evidence against several major conglomerates. We must bring them all down before Kevin inherits the Guise Family, to prevent retaliation and seize the opportunity.." Hearing this, Joey immediately put away all her emotions and began to study the case seriously.


    Meanwhile, Sophia was ying with her phone when the door was pushed open. Alexander walked in carrying a food box with a mischievous smile. "Sophia, I bought your favorite burger and vegetable soup. I''ll feed you."


    He put the food box on the table and bent down to look into Sophia''s eyes. He couldn''t help but let out a lowugh. "Don''t re at me. Don''t you know how enchanting your eyes are? I dream about them every night."


    Sophia immediately closed her eyes in anger and pulled the nket over her face.


    Alexander pulled it off with a smile. "Why are you covering your face? Are you trying to fart under the nket? Don''t worry, no matter how smelly your fart is, I won''t mind."


    Sophia didn''t want to pretend anymore. She wanted to curse him out. She red at him angrily and mouthed, "Get out!"


    Alexander deliberately put his ear close to her lips, brushing against them, and asked with a smile, "What did you say? I didn''t hear you. Say it again."


    Sophia mouthed ''get out'' again.
