NovelEnglishNancy’s complexion grew a shade paler. While Humphrey might have thought highly of her talent, Ryan seemed to consider her insignificant.
Ever since she arrived, Ryan didn’t even spare her a glance.
This dealt a harsh blow to Nancy’s self-esteem.
“Nancy, I’m so sorry. My brother had an important engagement, so he left abruptly. Please don’t be disheartened.”

In reality, it had been many years since Humphrey had last laid eyes on Ryan. Those times were stained with the tragic passing of Rosa, when Ryan embarked on a relentless quest for vengeance on Marcus. The Morgan family strongly opposed this vendetta, leading to a bitter rift between Ryan and his father. Stripped of all his privileges within the Morgan family, Ryan was warned that if he pursued his thirst for revenge, he would sever the father-son bond irrevocably.
Marcus had been honed in the crucible of Raven Island’s training regimen. Proficient in combat, unwaveringly vigilant, and merciless, he exceeded Ryan’s capabilities. Against the might of Marcus, Ryan stood as an unequal rival, while the Morgan family’s influence paled in comparison to the formidable Thomas dynasty. A strike against Marcus would spell doom for the Morgans.
Since Marcus’ ascension to the helm of the Thomas Group, every opposition they’d faced had been systematically dismantled.
This was precisely why their father had forbidden Ryan from gambling on the entire fate of the Morgan clan for the sake of retribution.
And then, one day, Ryan vanished. There were even whispers that he might have succumbed to death, driven by his grief for Rosa. After all, his love for her ran deep.
Rosa had possessed a gentle grace, a breathtaking beauty, and a vulnerability that had captured Ryan’s heart. During the nascent days of their romance, he had been eager to introduce her to his family, hoping to bring her into the Morgan fold.
But his parents hadn’t taken kindly to Rosa. They found her frailty disconcerting, preferring a robust daughter-in-law, fearing Rosa wouldn’t be resilient enough to bear Ryan’s progeny.
As his parents schemed to pull them apart, tragedy struck in the form of Rosa’s demise-an outcome that eerily aligned with their wishes.

“What’s this?”
As the contents met her gaze upon opening it, her expression froze.
Wasn’t this Millie’s Swan series design?
Why would Ryan have Millie’s design sketches?
Humphrey approached and glimpsed the design, his astonishment evident.
“Has Ryan found the chief designer?”
The design was extraordinary; it was clearly the creation of a masterful artist.
