Chapter 1102
Back in Jadeborough, Chanaea, Eurydice was in the middle of a game of chess with her teacher when her phone on
the coffee table next to them rang.
Excusing herself briefly, she walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows with her device and answered it.
After she heard what the other person had to say, her eyes twinkled as her lips curved into a faint smile.
She hung up three minutes later and returned to the chess table.
Her teacher shot her a glance. “You look rather happy after taking that call.”
“It was from my dad's secretary. My dad will be back in Jadeborough tonight,” Eurydice explained while playing
unsparingly.
The teacher eyed the chessboard. “Eurydice, you're being too rash,” he guided.

The woman merely smiled.
Within the next few rounds, she easily took down the white king. “It doesn't matter how I play or how many pieces I
sacrifice. I always go after the king.”
The chess teacher had many students, but among all of them, Eurydice was the most gifted and aggressive one.
He couldn't help but feel wary about this student of his who appeared gentle but was so ruthless on the inside.
Eurydice placed the pieces back on the board while saying kindly, “Let's play two more matches. You can stay for
dinner and then chat with my dad later.”
The man returned to his senses and nodded with a smile. “All right. Don't mind if I do.”
Meanwhile, Johanna headed into the workshop and sat down in front of a sewing machine to make a dress after
breakfast.
If Zephyr weren't around, there was nowhere else she could go apart from walking around the mansion, but she
had been busying herself with sewing now that the weather had grown colder recently.

Fortunately, the housekeepers would immediately bring her every material she asked for, or she would've long
gone mad from being cooped up in a place like this.
At present, the woman was so focused on sewing that she didn't notice someone enter the room.
It was only after she had hung the finished product up that Zephyr knocked on the door to gain her attention. “I
have a wedding to attend. Get dressed and come with me.”
He has a pretty tight relationship with the Leonardos. Would we bump into Frank at the wedding?
Before Johanna could respond, Zephyr was already standing closely behind her and lowered his head to mutter into
her ear. “Pack these clothes up. I'll get someone to send them back to your country.”
Not enjoying being this close to him, Johanna distanced herself from him without a word. “That's unusually kind of
you. Are you thinking of getting a housekeeper to dump all these clothes somewhere and burn them?”

“Am I that horrible in your eyes?” Zephyr chuckled in exasperation.
The woman wanted to retaliate, but she ultimately kept silent upon remembering the subtle threats he had made
that night.
“I wouldn't have sent you that video of the kid if I were that evil.” Zephyr stroked her cheek. “Besides, I'm not
sending these clothes back for free. You'll be coming to the wedding with me in return.”
“I hope you won't go back on your word.” In truth, she would have accompanied him to the wedding without him
asking just so she could try to meet Frank.
The woman had a housekeeper bring in a few boxes to pack the dresses.
After the housekeeper had left, she then headed into the dressing room.
Zephyr followed her in and picked out a black strapless fishtail gown from the pile of exquisite outfits available.
The man had already changed into a suit as she dressed herself.
Seeing her struggle with the zipper located at the back, he walked over and helped her zip her dress up.
It was a bareback gown that revealed her beautiful skin. Her back dimples could also be seen subtly, making her
look especially alluring.
With a darkened gaze, Zephyr suddenly pulled her into his arms and pressed his lips against her lower back.
