"Grandpa, please don’t cut ties with me," Tessa pleaded, tears streaming down her face as she knelt on the floor. The sight of her, vulnerable and desperate, tugged at the corners of her grandfather's heart, but he remained resolute.

Gerald’s expression hardened. "You made your choice, Tessa. You wanted to defy this family, and now you must face the consequences."

"That’s right, Dad. Tessa just got a bit confused. She didn’t mean any of this," Eleanor interjected, her voice trembling with desperation as she stepped forward. "Give me some time to talk to her. I can help her see reason."

Richard, who had been quietly observing, finally piped up, anxiety written all over his face. "Tessa, think about what you’re doing! You’re our only daughter! If you’re cut off from the family, you’ll lose everything. We can’t let that happen."

Gerald shook his head, his voice cold and unwavering. "It’s useless for you to beg. She chose this path herself, so don’t blame me for it. If you don’t want her

    Adam was stunned. "Do you regret doing it?"Tessa smiled bitterly. "I don't regret anything as I didn't do anything wrong. Even if I were to get a divorce with you, I wouldn't go back and admit I was wrong.""Since you didn't regret it, why do you still want to get a divorce with me?" Adam asked in confusion."I'm no longer the Armand family's daughter or a CEO. I'm just a normal woman, so you won't benefit from getting together with me. Thus, we should just get a divorce.""Do you think I married you just to benefit myself?""What else? I can't think of any reason other than that," Tessa replied."Have you considered the possibility that I don't like you for your status or money, but for you?" Adam answered with a grin."No way!" Tessa shook her head in disbelief."Why not?"Tessa replied with a smile, "You had a chance to sleep with me, but you didn't. That's why I think you're not interested in me.""Why would you think that? You're the most beautiful woman in Storm City. If I'm no

    The Armand residence was filled with laughter, but the source of the family’s joy was a bitter one. Tessa was gone. She had been officially expelled by Gerald, and now, David’s son, Henry, had assumed her role as CEO. David and his family looked triumphant, their eyes shining with satisfaction as they reveled in their victory.Richard and Eleanor, however, sat at the edge of the room, expressions clouded with worry and frustration. For them, this was no celebration. It felt like a final blow to the family they’d known, as Tessa, despite her mistakes, was still their only daughter.Adding to their joy, Wendy, David and Brenda's daughter, had just returned from studying abroad. She’d even brought back her boyfriend, Mark Woods, the heir to one of Storm City’s elite families.Though Mark had a bit of a notorious reputation, his standing as the sole heir of the Woods family made him a valuable connection. Gerald was elated.Richard and Eleanor, on the other hand, were completely ignored b

    Wilfred's words left the Armand family stunned. They’d expected a confrontation, but his tone was almost… polite.Mark took the chance to step forward, trying to mask his unease. "Mr. Wilfred, you remember me, don’t you? Mark Woods." He forced a confident smile, but inside, he felt a flicker of doubt.Wilfred gave him a nod, though his expression remained unreadable. "Ah, yes. Mr. Woods. I heard you went abroad for your studies. Just returned?"Mark's face lit up, relieved at the warm response. "Yes, I arrived today."Wilfred’s gaze sharpened as he glanced between Mark and the others. "So, are you close to the Armand family now?"Before Mark could answer, Brenda interjected eagerly, “Oh, yes! Mark is my daughter’s boyfriend, and we’re planning an engagement soon.”Brenda could barely contain her excitement, certain now that Wilfred’s polite behavior was due to Mark’s presence. After all, having the heir of one of Storm City's elite families as a son-in-law was something she’d dreamed

    The Armand family was left in stunned silence, trying to make sense of Wilfred’s sudden turn. Just moments ago, he’d been courteous, but now he seemed unhinged.“Mr. Wilfred, you’ve lost it!” Wendy snapped, furious after watching him strike Mark. “How could you hit Mr. Woods?”Wilfred’s gaze sharpened as he backhanded Wendy, sending her stumbling back. “Silence! Mark is nothing to me—a privileged nobody. Who do you think you are, telling me how to act?”Wendy, holding her cheek, glared back. “A moment ago, you were chatting with him like you were friends!”“As if,” Wilfred scoffed, the disgust evident in his voice. “I was only tolerating your presence out of respect for Ms. Tessa.” He paused, casting a steely gaze over each of them. “But now I see this family has made the fatal mistake of crossing her.”Brenda, still aching from her own beating, managed to gasp out, “We thought… we thought we were doing you a favor. Tessa humiliated your son, and you lost your hand because of her. We

    Wendy sneered, "Took you long enough to open the door. I’m going easy on you with just a slap."“You’re crossing the line, Wendy.” Tessa’s voice trembled with anger.“Oh, I’m not even close to done. Pack your trash and get out. This villa belongs to me now,” Wendy said coldly. “You have an hour.”“This is my home. What gives you the right to order me around?” Tessa’s patience was wearing thin. Just because she was kind-hearted didn’t mean she’d let Wendy walk all over her.Meeting Wendy had already been an unpleasant shock. But now, hearing that her cousin was trying to take her home? It was beyond infuriating.Wendy ignored her and clung to Mark’s arm. “Before I explain, let me introduce you to someone. You remember him, don’t you?”“Hello, Ms. Tessa, long time no see,” Mark said with a smirk, eyeing her from head to toe.It had been years since he last saw Tessa, and she looked more stunning than ever. He’d pursued her back then, but she had rejected every advance. Going abroad hadn

    While saying that, Wendy aggressively threw all the clothes out of the wardrobe and onto the floor, stomping on them with glee. Her eyes glinted with satisfaction as she watched Tessa’s face twist in fury."Are you happy now?" Tessa’s voice cracked, her frustration spilling out as tears welled up in her eyes. Anger mixed with disbelief in her chest as she turned around, ready to leave, but Wendy wasn’t finished.“Wait!” Wendy’s voice rang out, sharp and commanding as she grabbed for the Cursed-idol amulet around Tessa’s neck. “This belongs to the Armand family, doesn’t it? Hand it over.”“What are you doing? This is a gift from my husband! It doesn’t belong to you or the Armand family!” Tessa reacted quickly, clutching the pendant and pulling it protectively against her chest. She could leave behind everything else, but she couldn’t let Wendy take this away.The amulet wasn’t just jewelry. It was a reminder of the love Adam had shown her, a symbol of their bond, and though she wasn’t

    "You're looking for death!" A voice bellowed, shattering the silence as a figure suddenly crashed through the window.Mark froze, his eyes wide with shock as he whipped around to see a man stepping into the room with deliberate slowness, each footfall making the floor seem to tremble under his weight. The man’s gaze was sharp, cold, and indifferent—so piercing that it sent a shiver down Mark's spine."Who are you?" Mark demanded, his voice shaking, though he tried to mask his unease.The man who had entered was none other than Adam. He had just returned from grocery shopping when he heard Tessa's desperate cry. Without thinking, he had broken through the window, bypassing the door completely. His eyes were dark with fury, and an aura of pure, unrelenting rage surrounded him.The moment Adam laid eyes on Mark, a chilling wave of murderous intent radiated from him. His body seemed to hum with dangerous energy as if he were a predator ready to strike."How dare you lay a hand on my wife!

    Tessa stood frozen, her mind struggling to process what she had just witnessed. Up until now, she had always thought of Adam as someone slightly more capable than the average person—strong, confident, and dependable—but never in her wildest dreams had she imagined he could cripple Mark with a single move. Her gaze locked onto him, a mix of awe and admiration welling up inside her. He wasn’t just capable. Adam was... incredible.Her heart raced as she continued to watch, unable to tear her eyes away. Mark, once so brash and full of arrogance, was now on the ground, groaning in pain. The fear and desperation in his eyes were evident, a stark contrast to his previous smugness."I hate people who threaten me," Adam said coolly, his voice a low growl as he released Mark from his grip and, in one swift motion, slapped him across the face.The sound of the slap echoed through the room, sharp and clear, as Mark spun from the force of it before crumpling to the floor. Before he could even begi

    Everyone was instantly excited. Lord Chaosbreaker was a real legend. He was one of the most respectable Gods of War. His presence would naturally cause a commotion.

If they could get close to him, they would have a bright future ahead. Some of the people who were quick had already started flattering Tristan and giving him gifts. As the room buzzed with activity, Tristan turned his sharp gaze back to Adam.

Once the banquet is over, I’ll make sure to settle the score personally. You’ll regret crossing me.” Adam’s expression remained unchanged, his calm demeanor unshaken by Tristan’s ominous words.

    Tristan strode confidently into the grand hall, flanked by the elite Storm City Defenders. His presence was magnetic, exuding authority that commanded immediate attention. Wherever he went, the crowd instinctively parted, their heads lowering in deference. The weight of his reputation hung heavy in the air, and the expressions on their faces were a mixture of fear and deep respect. “Mr. Tristan!” Gerald Armand, the host of the event, wasted no time. He hurriedly approached Tristan, his two children following close behind. Gerald’s demeanor was ingratiating, almost desperate, as he extended his hand in greeting. His smile was forced, his intent clear—to curry favor with one of the most influential figures in Storm City. After all, the man standing before him wasn’t just anyone. Tristan was one of Lord Chaosbreaker’s trusted lieutenants. Even at the height of their power, the Armand family wouldn’t have dared to cross someone from Lord Chaosbreaker’s circle.

    “What do you mean? Mr. Monday was just pulling my leg,” Samuel said with a confident grin, trying to reclaim the narrative.Adam didn’t flinch. “I’ve won. Get down on your knees now and call me Uncle,” he demanded straightforwardly.Samuel sneered. “As I’ve already explained, Mr. Monday was joking with me. I was never fired, so there was no reinstatement. By that logic, you’ve lost.”Eleanor chimed in with her usual disdain, “Mr. Samuel is absolutely correct. You’re just delusional. Do you really think you’re that powerful?”Adam shook his head slightly, disappointment flickering in his eyes. He couldn’t believe their ignorance. He had already proven his capabilities twice, yet they were quick to dismiss it as mere coincidence. He wondered if they were oblivious or simply too proud to admit defeat.Samuel stepped forward, his glare sharp and menacing. “Enough of this nonsense. I don’t have time for your childish games. After the event is over, you’re going to divorce Tessa immediately

She wasn’t concerned for him but for Brian. She knew Adam’s temper too well. He wasn’t going to let this slide. She'd witnessed how ruthless he gets when someone tries to mess with her. Brian, however, showed no sign of remorse. He crossed his arms, glaring at Adam with disdain. “What are you going to do, cripple?” he sneered. Adam’s voice was calm, but the threat in it was unmistakable. “Touch my woman again, and you’ll regret it.” Brian scoffed, puffing out his chest. “You think I’m scared of you?

I can do whatever I want and you can't do anything about it. you're just a cripple.” From the corner, Wendy chimed in, her tone filled with malice. “You’re pathetic, Adam.
