His Monarchic Return Chapter 18
“Are you certain you want us to dine at your place, Sabrina?” Carter inquired.“Why don’t we consider Vantican First Restaurant instead? It’s on me.”“I appreciate it, but I’m really not feeling up to it. You know what’s been troubling me,” Sabrina sighed.“Don’t worry about it. My dad is already working his connections. He’ll inform me if there’s any positive news about Windsor Enterprise.”Carter moved closer, trying to putt an arm around her waist for comfort.All of a sudden, Laura let out a scream as if she’d seen a ghost.“Holy cow!”“What’s going on?” Sabrina rushed to Laura’s side.Carter dropped his arm and frowned.“I swear I just saw Richard in that luxury car that passed by. Am I seeing things?” Laura asked, staring at the car in disbelief.Or maybe it was just someone who resembled Richard?She wasn’t sure.“You must be joking!” Carter scoffed, shaking his head. “Didn’t you notice the license plate?”“But—”“That car clearly belongs to someone wealthy or significant.

Richard stepped into the store while Aaron waited by the entrance.As soon as Richard entered, the cold air greeted him, and the exquisite jewelry immediately caught his attention.The store was lavishly decorated, from the ceiling to the walls."Let’s choose the most expensive piece here for Sabrina," he thought, eyes sweeping over the glittering jewels."Would she prefer emerald, or diamonds?" he mused, his gaze drifting over the dazzling array of gems.Even the least expensive earrings at Elegance & Co were priced above $10,000, and Richard was certain Sabrina would be amazed.She would be thrilled to receive the gift, along with the invitation to the banquet.Meanwhile, at the other end of the store, a young woman was browsing jewelry, accompanied by a middle-aged man with a noticeable belly.The woman stood beside him, admiring the pieces in the display case."Timothy, baby, don’t you think I’d look stunning in these earrings?" she nudged the man. "Will you buy them for me, sweet

"Sir, please—" the sales representative attempted to intervene."You must remove this poor fool immediately! He’s ruining our shopping experience, and I won’t tolerate it," the man insisted.Bianca crossed her arms, watching the situation unfold with a smug expression, her head held high, exuding arrogance and confidence.The sales representative was caught in a difficult position.She didn’t want to choose sides.What could she do?If she followed the man’s orders, she’d be driving away a customer.Yet, she didn’t want to upset the old man either.She spoke into the intercom, saying, "Mr. John, we have a bit of a situation here. Could you come quickly, please?"Within a minute, a man with a stern expression appeared...John Brown, the store’s sales manager, had arrived."Mr. Timothy!"John exclaimed, immediately recognizing the middle-aged man, a regular customer.He bowed respectfully."It’s an honor, sir. How may I assist you?"The man pointed accusingly at the sales representative

Aaron was already aware of what had transpired before entering the store, and he was furious.How dare anyone show such disrespect to his Young Master and his daughter’s savior!If Richard blamed him for John’s incompetence, all the effort Aaron had put into building a good reputation and trying to earn Richard’s favor would be for nothing.Aaron felt an overwhelming urge to punish John—this useless troublemaker had only caused problems!He deserved to be dealt with harshly.With these thoughts in mind, Aaron immediately ordered his bodyguards to escort the middle-aged man and his arrogant mistress out of the store."I don’t ever want to see them in this store again!" Aaron warned.As John watched, the color drained from his face, and his eyes filled with fear.He looked like a terrified chicken as he cowered in a corner."Where is that incompetent manager? Come out here this instant!"John crawled out from where he had been hiding in the corner and fell flat on his knees."Sir, I—I’m

Once they were gone, Aaron turned to the sales representative and commanded, "Pack that necklace and bring it here. Hurry up.""Yes, Sir. I’ll do it right away," the sales representative responded, not daring to hesitate as she rushed to follow his orders.Meanwhile, Aaron leaned closer to Richard and whispered apologetically, "Please accept the necklace as a gift. It’s on the house, and I sincerely apologize for my staff’s behavior. I hope you’ll take it, so I can have some peace of mind tonight."After a brief pause, Richard nodded."Alright."Aaron sighed in relief when Richard accepted the gift.This either meant that Richard wasn’t angry with him anymore or that he had been forgiven.Phew! Thank goodness!The sales representative returned, holding the wrapped necklace.To everyone's surprise, instead of handing the package to Aaron, she respectfully presented it to Richard with a deep bow."Sir, is this to your satisfaction?" she asked, keeping her head lowered.Richard nodded as

“What’s in the gift?”Laura asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as she glanced at the neatly wrapped package.Sabrina hesitated for a moment, then carefully untied the ribbon.“Oh wow! It’s an emerald necklace, from Timeless Beauty!” she gasped, clearly surprised by the luxurious gift.Sabrina’s excitement was quickly replaced by a hint of discomfort.“This looks really expensive,” she said quietly, unsure how to feel about it.The intricate design and fine detail made it clear—this wasn’t just any piece of jewelry.Carter had already gone to great lengths to arrange the banquet invitations, and now his father had sent such an extravagant gift.It felt a little overwhelming.But before Sabrina could express her concerns, Carter smiled confidently, as if he had anticipated the entire situation."That necklace was made just for you," he said, flashing his brightest smile, though a flicker of uncertainty crossed his face.Carter hadn’t asked his father to send the gift, but he did i
His Monarchic Return Chapter 24
Richard turned to Sabrina."Why don’t you confirm with Carter if his father really sent the gifts?"Sabrina, her brow furrowing in confusion."What are you talking about? Of course, it’s Carter helping me out."She couldn’t fathom the idea that anyone other than Carter would send such luxurious gifts."Didn’t you receive an emerald necklace from Timeless Beauty and three invitation cards?"Richard questioned.Sabrina felt a chill run through her.How could Richard possibly know what was inside her gift?He had just returned, and the gift was already sealed.The necklace, the three cards—had he somehow read her mind?Or, even more unsettling, had he been right all along?Was Carter’s father really not behind these lavish gifts?Before Sabrina could find her voice, Laura cut through the silence, her words dripping with disdain."Oh, please! We’re not idiots, Richard. You’re just jealous of Carter because you can’t even come close to his success."Richard chuckled at the accusation.Even

The next morning, after a restful sleep, Richard's phone buzzed, and he picked it up without a second thought.It was Andrew, Sabrina’s grandfather."Richard, I’ve heard about Sabrina's behavior. That silly girl! How could she ask for a separation? I’m so sorry for how she treated you. I’ve given her a good talking to."But Richard wasn’t bothered in the slightest.If Sabrina wanted a separation, he wasn’t going to stand in her way.After all, marriage was not something he could ever force, even from the beginning.He had fulfilled his duty by agreeing to the marriage, hoping that it might lead him to some clues about his mother."Where are you now? I’ll send a car to pick you up. I want Sabrina to apologize to you in person.""No need for that, grandpa. I’ll come on my own."Richard quickly declined.He sighed as the call ended.Marriage really was a headache at times.But still, he was going back, out of respect for Grandpa Andrew, and man’s responsibility.Half an hour later, Richa

Faced with Sabrina's doubts, Aaron remained motionless. He nodded, his gaze unwavering.“It was thanks to Richard’s efforts—his connections, his work—that Sabrina was given the opportunity to be here today.”“I am personally grateful to him. After all, he’s the one who saved my daughter when she was gravely ill.”The crowd gasped. Whispers spread like wildfire.“Who exactly is this Richard?” “Richard? Never heard of that name before…” “Carter just got publicly humiliated by Mr. Windsor…”The audience buzzed with chatter. Sabrina’s face turned pale. Standing on the stage, she was at a loss for what to do.Her eyes darted toward Richard, and then back to Carter.“But... but...” Sabrina stammered. “But Carter... you told me... you said—"“Yes,” Richard interjected, his voice calm but tinged with a hint of mockery.“Carter told you that he did all of that. He’s lying.”A hush fell over the room. Sabrina’s heart sank as she realized how badly she had been deceived.She had believed ever

“Dad, did you pull the strings for this? Did you make sure Sabrina got on the list?”There was a long pause on the other end of the line before Carter father finally spoke.“Ah? Don’t bother me! We’re still handling the financials. Who cares about you!”With a sharp “beep” the call ended.The room went deathly quiet. Carter’s face turned crimson.“Could it really just be a coincidence?” Carter murmured, a trace of doubt flickering in his mind. If it wasn’t his father, then who could it have been? “Carter, what exactly did your father say on the phone? Why don’t you share it with everyone?”Richard remarked, his tone dripping with mockery. In truth, Richard had heard every word of the conversation. His hearing was remarkably sharp, and nothing escaped him.“I’ve confirmed it. My dad said he handled it!" Carter blurted out confidently, trying to reclaim his pride.Jillian couldn’t hold back her disdain any longer. She rolled her eyes, a smirk on her lips.“You’re really something, Ca

Sabrina showed a look of disbelief and said: “Then was it you who helped me? You’re useless, so why do you think others are the same as you?”Carter and Laura overheard Richard’s comment and couldn’t help but laugh. “Richard, are you blind? Didn’t you see that after I sent a text, Sabrina got the spot?” Carter mocked proudly. “Exactly. People like Richard who are so low and useless shouldn’t even be here,” Laura chimed in. “You still dare to question Carter? What about that rich woman you were with? Why don’t you go back to her instead of bothering us?”Laura’s voice grew louder with each word. Richard looked at the emotionally charged group in front of him and sneered. “Then I’d like to ask to see what Carter has to offer! “Richard looked at them.“Carter’s ability to get Sabrina to take the spot with a random text message, isn’t that something?” Laura interjected first. “Sabrina, don’t trust this guy who is full of lies,” Carter encouraged. Hearing all this, Sabrina turned t

The announcement for the evening event officially began.All eyes were on the stage. At this moment, Sabrina was extremely nervous. She clasped her hands together over her chest, fingers intertwined.Then closed her eyes in silent prayer. Seeing this, Carter leaned closer to her ear and whispered confidently.“There’s absolutely no problem!” Sabrina frowned slightly and nodded.The host on stage spoke: “Now, I will announce the names of the candidates...” Sabrina was on the edge, her heartbeat so loud it felt like it might burst out of her throat! “Martin Family Enterprises…”“Baker Group…”The host announced one name after another.The crowd's applause echoed throughout the venue. The executives of announced companies rose from their seat, offering friendly nods to those around them.“Only one spot left... will it really be me?” Sabrina thought anxiously, her toes curling tightly against the floor in nervous anticipation. In contrast to the excitement around her, Sabrina felt

“Four...three need to be selected...” Jillian looked at Sabrina’s information thoughtfully.“Miss, are you thinking of choosing Lansdowne Group?” The butler poked around.“Although she meets the requirements, I don’t like her.”Actually, she was a little jealous that Sabrina had become Richard’s wifeShe didn’t want to give her the candidate spot.But Jillian also knew that acting petty would only make her appear small-minded to Richard.“Understood, I will remove her name immediately!”“There’s no rush, why don’t you show the information to Mr. Royaland and let him decide.” Jillian said with a smirk.“Yes.” The butler didn’t ask more questions and left.There were still 20 minutes before the official list was announced.Sabrina overheard a conversation at the next table.The people were saying that the candidate spots had already been decided!Sabrina couldn’t hold back her curiosity.She leaned over to ask the people at the next table:“Excuse me, have you heard if Lansdowne Group m

Richard sensed the situation was spiraling.“Let’s go back inside,” he suggested to Jillian.“Alright. I need to go handle the candidates’ matters.”“Then see you later, Sabrina.” Jillian said, giving a polite nod before she left.“Sabrina, let’s head to the banquet hall," Richard suggested after watching Jillian leave.“Don’t come near me,” Sabrina snapped impatiently, shooting Richard a glare before turning sharply on her heel and storming off toward the hall.Seeing Richard only deepened her frustration.Richard and that woman, Jillian…Whether she could secure the nomination today…All these thoughts swirled in her head, fueling her irritation. Richard followed at a measured pace, watching Sabrina’s hurried strides.The sharp clatter of her high heels echoed through the hallway. He couldn’t help but smirk to himself. “This woman… will she ever develop some proper judgment?” Suddenly, the clacking heels stopped. Sabrina halted abruptly. “Can you stop following me? Stay away!” s

Sabrina and her group returned to Sabrina's mansion.Two hours before the charity banquet Sabrina paced anxiously.She had just heard from Carter that Lan was attending tonight too.If Richard showed up, there could be trouble.Carter took Sabrina aside, his expression serious.“Look,” he began, his voice low.“You know Lan doesn’t let things go easily. If Richard is there, it could get messy fast.”Sabrina frowned, trying to shake off a growing sense of dread.“But he wouldn’t pick a fight there, would he?” she asked, as if convincing herself.Carter shook his head, feigning exasperation.“You know better than that. The last thing you want is for Richard to provoke him and cause a scene.”"Richard will affect your candidacy results!" Carter added.Sabrina thought for a moment and then agreed.Thought of Richard getting dragged into another confrontation made her stomach twist.Sighing, she walked towards Richard.“I’m not taking you to the banquet tonight,” she said abruptly.“Stay h

As Carter walked into the boutique, he took in the situation with a keen eye, sensing the tension in the air.“Sorry! I had just finished handling company matters.”Carter said to Sabrina and Laura.Meanwhile, Sabrina was still in a state of panic, fretting about what might happen next.She was deeply concerned that Richard’s confrontation with Lan would lead to a serious backlash.Her mind raced, and she quickly turned to Carter for help.After telling Carter about what had just happened, she began:“Carter,” Her voice desperate, “I need your help. I don’t care what the cost is, I’ll pay any compensation needed, just please, help protect Richard.”Carter inwardly scoffed, his lips curling into a slight smirk, finding some twisted amusement in Richard’s reckless move.However, he kept his expression neutral, choosing to play along.“I’ll do what I can,” he replied smoothly.Richard stood there, both amused and touched by Sabrina’s concern.Despite her misunderstandings about him, her

The words shattered the last remnants of Laura’s patience. Her face twisted with hurt and disgust as she looked at him, her heart sinking.He wasn’t the man she thought he was; he was weak, willing to abandon her dignity and safety for his own comfort. It was almost too much to bear.Emma’s laughter filled the air, mocking and cruel. “I told you,” she crowed, her voice dripping with satisfaction.“He’s no man, just a pathetic little coward. Can’t even stand up for his own girlfriend!” She turned to Laura, her smile widening. “Looks like I win, doesn’t it?”“We’re done.” Laura hissed to Mike, her voice shaking. “You’re just a spineless, sniveling little coward. Don’t ever come near me again.”Sabrine could see the pain in Laura’s eyes. She stepped forward.“That’s enough,” she said coldly to Emma and Jason, her voice steady despite the fury raging within her. “I don’t care who you think you are or who you know. We’re done here.”But Jason merely chuckled, clearly amused by her
