“What a pity! It seemed that you only lasted for... five seconds, half of ten.” Ryvan put down the swords and walked down calmly.All of the audience were dumbfounded, including the Brandall sisters.Arabella was shocked. She thought Bruce would win the race, but unexpectedly...However, doubtful vo
Ryvan arrived at the Claire’s Manor quickly, and there was already a servant waiting for him at the door.As he was led to a girl’s bedroom on the third floor, he smelled various medicines filling the room, and saw a pale sleeping beauty on the bed quietly.Her delicate face attracted Ryvan’s eyes.
"What?!" Dave's face paled, and he was about to fall.His wife, Linda cried out loudly.Kelvin knelt on the ground, crying and telling what had happened.“Bastard! You killed your sister!” Dave roared, kicking Kelvin to the ground.Dave was so angry when he heard that his son stopped Ryvan from savi
The next morning, a sudden ringing of the phone woke Ryvan up.He stretched out and answered the phone."Ryvan, this is Henry. I have just scolded Bella. As your wife, she shouldn't have kept you from going back home for sleep.”"But she didn’t..." Ryvan wanted to explain it for his wife, but was in
“ What is he talking about?” Henry asked. The old man's gaze fell on Eric, whose throat ran dry instantly. “ Father, it's obviously a misunderstanding, Eric can never do such a thing. Why would he associate with a thug like him?” Leicester sneered. “ Why not ask him what he did that brought me he
He laughed, even though he wasn't aware of what really occurred. “ It was nothing. I wouldn't just sit back and watch him cause ruckus here.” Ryvan never thought that Bruce could be shameless enough to receive praise for what he didn't do. “ Do you even know what happened here?” He asked. Bruce fell silent because he didn't know what to say, however, Eric cut in. “ You knew everything but what did you do? You only caused more trouble. Bruce was the one who scared Duke off, so stop asking silly questions.” “ He left because he was afraid of offending me!” Ryvan uttered once more. “ Do you expect us to believe that?” Lilith scoffed. “ He’s taking credit for what he didn't do: so shameless!” Malice sneered. Arabella felt ashamed and embarrassed as she heard the comments from her family. She glared daggers at him. Ryvan remained calm and collected, “ Shit!” “ Don't give me that bullshit!” Arabella couldn't hold in her anger any longer. Ryvan almost made her lose face
“ Bruce is truly kind. He is truly a respectful member of a wealthy family. He is way better than a proud braggart.” “That's totally right! Many people need to learn from him. Being humble and also from a wealthy family, is just so perfect!” “ Bruce is really a kind hearted man, so Arabella, since he said Ryvan could come along, take him with you.” Grandpa Henry said. Arabella hesitated. She didn't want Ryvan to create a mess at the banquet, but nevertheless, she agreed. As early as 7am the next morning, Ryvan received a message containing a photo which shocked him. The message was sent to him by Dave. The photo contained the girl he had asked Dave to find a few days ago. “ Mr. Ryvan, have you seen my message alongside the photo?” Dave called almost immediately after he sent the photo. “ Yes Dave, I've seen it. Did you find her?” Ryvan was so stunned. He never thought that Dave could find her so quickly merely based on the little information he had told him. “ I
“ Wow! I have never seen someone like you. I almost believed that you stayed at Sky Palace. How foolish of me,” Lilith rolled her eyes. Lilith might have mistaken Ryvan for someone else. She had thought that the person she saw in Dave’s car was really Ryvan. Ryvan sighed. It seemed that no one believed him when he told them the truth. “ Lilith, you never told me that your sister would be here too.” A man walked towards them with a short smile. Arabella turned to look at him with a surprise expression on. She recognized the young man to be Stanley, Lilith's boyfriend. “ This is Stanley, my boyfriend. His family owns $150 million dollars assets and are also into the real estate business.” Lilith said proudly. “ Wow, congratulations.” “ I have good eyes when it comes to finding a man for myself. I can't afford to suffer as it is.” Arabella felt her stomach twist, most especially when her mind flashed back to how she lost her virginity. It made her furious. “ But
The meeting finally came to an end and everyone returned to their villa to rest for the night. Ryvan wanted to leave and head to his place, but Arabella didn't let him. She wanted him to stay the night with her in her room. If it was just a few hours ago, Malice would never allow such, that was t
Just when Dickson was about to fall on his knees, his father, David, stopped him. “ Arabella, tell me whatever you need, but I can't let my son kneel before a woman like you.” David said, causing Arabella to scoff as she bit her lips to avoid saying inappropriate words. ‘ Still haven't learnt yo
“ Dickson, step forward!” Henry called and Dickson walked towards the podium, his head bowed in shame. “ Are you ready to tell the truth about the contract or do you want it forced out of your mouth?” Henry asked coldly. He was no more the sweet and biassed grandpa, who would always side him even
Arabella was still sniffling slowly, her arms wrapped around Ryvan like her life would come to an end if she let go. Ryvan didn't break the hug; instead, they remained in the same position for over five minutes, the dim light coming from the street bulb shone brightly on their faces. After Arabell
Arabella swiftly turned to Ryvan, her eyes still filled with shock from what Mr Bald had said a few minutes before leaving. “ Is he saying the truth?” She asked, her voice barely above whisper. “ Let's talk when we get home.” Ryvan replied. “ What he said about you, is it true?” Henry couldn't h
Everywhere turned silent, as everyone stared and focused their gazes on Dickson, who felt like the ground should open and swallow him. This was what he was trying so badly to avoid. But, he wasn't aware that Ryvan and Arabella would invite Mr Bald to the party, and because of that, he was in a tig
As Henry glanced at Ryvan, he just couldn't take off his mind from earlier. If he was really a prominent man like Dave said, why would he remain as a son-in-law in the family who treated him like trash? “ Grandpa, is there a problem?” Dickson walked towards Henry, jolting him out of his trance. “
The air was filled with anticipation at Henry's villa. It was finally the day of the celebration. Twinkling lights strung across the sprawling gardens, creating a magical atmosphere. Laughter and music drifted through the evening ajr, mingling with the scent of blooming jasmine. The hall was fil
“ If I were to follow my instincts, you would be on your way to the gate of Hades right now, but I guess I will let them handle you.” Ryvan said and stood up, calmly shoving his hands back into his pocket. He looked like a gentleman once again. If not for the fact that Bruce had seen him beat u
