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

Sabrina scoffed."Do you really think bargaining will make you worth millions?"“That price doesn’t even scratch the surface of my value,” Richard replied with a wink.“But seeing how eager you are, I decide not to make it too difficult for you. I’ll offer a 99.99999999999999999% discount, so it will be just one hundred thousand. How about it?”Richard chuckled inwardly.Sabrina's jaw dropped.She couldn’t believe what she'd just heard.Holy crap!She had never encountered such shamelessness in her entire life.This was the unfortunate consequence of marrying a useless man—a man who would live off her wealth without contributing anything, and still think so high of himself.Her glare deepened, and so did her disdain.But she had no choice. She didn’t want Richard spending the night with her, and her patience had finally worn thin.Stepping forward, she coldly said, "I hate you, and I don’t want you near me. I’ll pay you to sleep elsewhere, so stay away! You better take the money, or y

As she stepped into the sitting room, every pair of eyes turned toward her.It was the absolute worst moment to be in the spotlight.She quickly tucked her bank card behind her back, hoping no one would notice.Grandpa Andrew’s face twisted with displeasure as he glared at Sabrina.“Where have you been? Why didn’t you greet your husband like I told you?”Sabrina’s face flushed with embarrassment, and she wished she could vanish.In a small voice, she mumbled, “I did, Grandpa.”“Yes, Grandpa, she did,” Richard chimed in, trying to back her up.Grandpa Andrew’s expression finally softened.The truth was, Sabrina didn’t care about greeting Richard.All she wanted was to get rid of him.She was willing to give him money, just for the peace of mind, so she wouldn’t have to deal with him anymore.But if her grandfather found out what she really did to Richard, she’d be in big trouble.So, she quickly said, “I was just giving instructions in the kitchen. I’d like Richard to stay for lunch.”

He had his own affairs to handle, which the Lansdownes could only dream of reaching his level.With just a snap of his fingers, he could make their wildest wishes a reality.If he so desired, the wealthiest families in the city could lose everything, their fortunes vanishing and businesses crumbling into bankruptcy.But what good would it do to explain this to a woman as arrogant and narrow-minded as Mrs. Lansdowne?Still, Mrs. Lansdowne snorted, her displeasure written clearly across her face.In her eyes, Richard was not only an incompetent son-in-law, but he also couldn't help Sabrina in the slightest.And yet, he had the audacity to speak freely while depending entirely on their daughter.She wished Carter had made his proposal sooner; perhaps their daughter wouldn't have married this worthless man.‘No, she has to make it happen. Sabrina must divorce him and marry Carter—that will be her life’s purpose,’ Sabrina’s mother thought.She knew that Grandmother Lansdowne would help con

"I don’t care whether you want to help me or not. Just stay out of my way," Sabrina snapped.Richard shook his head.Her understanding was as dull as a butter knife, and her parents were much worse.There was little hope she would realize the truth any time soon.Richard felt no obligation to reveal his true self to her, as their relationship had been doomed from the start.He was simply playing his role, finding his mother and sticking with her family."You're blind to the good people standing right in front of you," Richard said, shaking his head."The truth will come out eventually, and when it does, you'll regret your sayings."Sabrina let out a bitter laugh, staring at him as if he had lost his mind.Maybe he had.That would explain his ridiculous confidence."Regret my sayings? In your dreams." she sneered."You're in no position to give me advice.""Fine. Suit yourself," Richard replied with a shrug.Sabrina was amused.Did he really think he could intimidate her by inflating h

Richard chuckled.That was enough.With a chilling smile, he replied, "Did you really think I refused Grandpa Andrew’s request all because of your silly threats?""Isn’t that why?"Mr. Lansdowne shot back, his voice dripping with contempt.Richard’s cold chuckle echoed in the room."I expected more wisdom from someone your age. Clearly, I overestimated you."Mr. Lansdowne was on the verge of exploding with rage."Are you trying to insult me?"Richard sneered.The answer was obvious."You know what? Sabrina gave me $100 million as compensation."Mischievously, Richard deliberately exaggerated the amount by 1,000 times.With that, Richard pulled out the bank card and waved it in front of them.What the fuck?!$100 million?!As compensation?!As Richard had expected, Mr. and Mrs. Lansdowne nearly choked.Mr. Lansdowne’s face turned a furious shade of red, steam practically erupting from his nostrils.The veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes widened to the point they looked ready to

Jasper turned, his demeanor instantly shifting as he sized up Richard.Puffing out his chest like a blowfish, his fists clenched, and his eyes narrowed with hostility."So, you're the one extorting and harassing my sister, huh?"Jasper sneered."Let me warn you: a pathetic man like you had better stay away from her. Keep pestering her, and you’ll be digging your own grave."Richard snorted, amused."Don't you have any manners, kid? If you did, you'd greet me properly as your brother-in-law."Jasper’s face darkened instantly."Brother-in-law?!" he growled."Who do you think you are, you ignorant fool? Do you even deserve it? My family should've hired you as a servant instead!"Richard chuckled."You're as foolish as you look."Jasper’s temper flared, his fists shaking with rage."Hand over the card, you thief! Or…!"Richard folded his arms, his calm demeanor only fueling Jasper's frustration."Or what?" he asked, amusement dancing in his eyes.Jasper’s audacity was almost entertaining
