His Monarchic Return Chapter 25
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

"Jasper, have you forgotten what you promised me? Or do you think I was joking?”Talon sneered, dragging a dining chair across the floor.He sat down arrogantly, throwing his legs on the table without a care, the tableware clattering loudly.Jasper swallowed hard, fear mounting with every second.Grandpa Andrew, though not one for socializing, had heard of Talon’s notorious reputation—the man who could commit murder without ever being jailed.His face turned pale as he cleared his throat.“Sir Talon, please, had my grandson done anything that offended you?”Talon’s sneer deepened, his expression darkening.“Jasper owes me $1 billion, and he still hasn’t paid.”What?!One billion dollars?!“That’s impossible!”Grandpa Andrew’s eyes widened from the sheer disbelief.Even the entire Lansdowne family wasn’t worth that much.The rest of the family exchanged terrified glances.“Impossible? Haha! Don’t you know what kind of rubbish your grandson is?”Talon laughed fiercely, as he found the w

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
