“This…” Lucius, his entourage, and Xavier were left utterly stunned by Honey’s sudden words, while Mason, noticing Lucius’s bewildered expression quickly jumped in.

"Young Master Lucius, how do you know my cousin has always dreamed of getting an alpha male—someone who would take full control of her life?" he asked, his voice trembling with excitement.

"She hasn’t married all these years despite the large number of suitors because every man she’s met has been trying to treat her like a queen, something she dislikes with passion,” he added upon seeing Lucius’s furrowed brows.

Mason acted as though he were the one receiving a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Well, in his mind, he was the one receiving it, knowing fully well that with Grace out of the way, not only would he gain full control of the Sky family and its assets—but he’d also be in complete authority over the multi-million-dollar project Lucius was going to buy Grace with.

Thinking this, a shiver of excitement ran d

    *****For a moment, everyone stared at Grace in a stupor, but then the Sky family, who had already anticipated her refusal exchanged a knowing smile.‘I would have thought you had been possessed or switched body if you had agreed straight away,’ they mused silently, smirking to themselves.Lucius, however, was frowning right now, his eyes locked expressionlessly at Grace.“You said the deal will not go through?” he asked, his tone seemingly to turn slightly dark, but as though she hadn’t heard him, Grace remained quiet and expressionless.“You heard the young friend’s question, don’t you?” The old man of the Sky Family, frowning with dissatisfaction inquired, and only then did Grace internally heave a sigh before finally focusing her icy stare on Lucius.“Because I’m already married,” she announced firmly, making sure everyone heard her clearly, and in the following second, it was as though she had thrown a bomb.No one other than Xavier had expected this response from her—Not

    ***** “Father, we had the perfect chance to push her out just now—why give her another opportunity to fix things again?” Nico, who had been seething since they left the conference room finally couldn’t help but ask once they were inside the elevator. The old man glanced at him for a moment, and finally, a slight disappointment flashed in his eyes as he wondered why his son couldn’t grasp such a simple thing. He let out a small sigh and decided to explain when, Honey, who had been grinning with glee from the side, rolled her eyes at her father. “Grandfather giving her her one last chance wasn’t so she could redeem herself, it was part of the process to get the company back from her,” she reported, but Nico was not convinced. “And what if she comes up with another scheme to sabotage us just like she had always done in the past?” he asked helplessly, and at that moment, the expressions on the faces of the old man, Honey, and the still-enraged Mason darkened. Both Mason a

    *****“Do you just deliberately enjoy getting on my nerves or something?” Xavier finally asked, utterly frustrated and helpless, still unaware that his parents had already been captured.In response, Dorothy’s eyes only narrowed, her lips pressed tight as she ground her teeth in barely restrained anger, but she refused to answer his question, instead, she angrily demanded. “What do you mean by what you were saying to my boss?”Beside her, Grace, who has also somehow reverted to being cold stared emotionlessly at Xavier, also curious about what he meant, and finally, Xavier, looking at the two ladies, one with pure detachment and the other with anger, let out a resigned sigh before smiling bitterly.“How else are we supposed to convince your family that our marriage is real if we don’t live together?” he questioned, showing a look of helplessness while deeply aware in his heart that this suggestion was purely for his own case, to convince his parents of the marriage.Grace and Dor

And yet now...Back to Grace, her gaze darted between Mason and Honey after a moment, still searching for an explanation behind their sudden alliance in this obvious fabrication.No matter how much she tried to make sense of their motives, however, she found nothing.Eventually, she shook her head slightly, deciding not to waste more energy on deciphering their games again.Taking a deep breath, she straight

    *****‘Has she really decided to agree to his term?’This question echoed through Nico, Honey, the old man, and Dorothy's minds, while the representatives continued standing in a bewildered silence, their gazes darting between Mason, Grace, and Lucius, trying to piece together what was unfolding.Even Xavier, who was rarely fazed by anything, appeared genuinely bewildered at this moment, his sharp mind racing as he also tried to process whether he had misheard or if Grace had truly agreed to Lucius’s terms.Of course, he knew exactly what those terms entailed, one of the major reasons Grace had approached him for marriage in the first place.With this, a suffocating silence enveloped the room, which stretched on for what felt like an eternity until Xavier finally broke it with a quiet, confused voice:“But I already promised to help you…”Everyone immediately turned their gazes toward him at the sound of his voice, the representatives, gazes tinged with curiosity. But just then

    *****The tension in the conference room was suffocating at this moment, a taut silence following Xavier's nonchalant words. “Again?” one of the representatives whispered, their astonishment breaking the stillness.Suppose the representatives had initially dismissed Xavier’s earlier remarks as a slip of the tongue or some misunderstanding, his repeated references to Grace as his wife left no room for doubt, the weight of this revelation, striking them like a tidal wave.Their eyes instinctively turned to Grace, knowing that if she had failed to hear Xavier before, she must have heard him clearly now. To their shock, however, her expression remained composed—eerily calm.This lack of denial instantly deepened the representatives’ confusion, and they exchanged dumbstruck glances, as though they’d just stumbled upon a secret capable of shaking the very foundations of the world.‘Grace is married?’ all thought in unison, their hearts pounding at this revelation.Mason, Honey, and

    *****The conference room was still as death right now, the air heavy with tension.All eyes continued darting between Mason, who currently stood in stunned silence, acting as though he had just eaten a bunch of flies, and the handsome newcomer, who had just casually stridden in, exuding confidence, his easy demeanor somehow commanding attention.Different thoughts went through the representatives’ minds and their confusion cackled like static in the silence.This continued for what felt like an eternity until finally;“Hmph!” Honey broke the spell with a derisive snort.“What’s a nobody like you doing here?” Her voice dripped with disdain, fury, darkness, and coldness.“Huh…” The representatives blinked, stunned.‘Was he really not the powerful backer that brat had been arrogant about?’They thought, the realization hitting them like a punch.In the next instant, all their attention swung back to Mason, whose face was now a shade of crimson—embarrassment, anger, and disbeli

    *****“So, President Mason, you said we only needed to wait a minute. It’s been almost three hours now since then. What exactly are we waiting for?” One of the representatives asked without standing up, now showing his complete disregard for Mason and the entire Sky group as a whole.While the question sounded as polite as possible, it was tinged with simmering frustration and unhappiness.They had thought that having been made to return to his senses, Mason would at least try to address them now, but contrary to their thoughts;Mason, slouched arrogantly in the president’s chair, shot the speaker a venomous glare, his irritation still lingering from his earlier defeat in the video game.“Then get the hell out of my company if you can’t wait again!” he snapped, his tone as sharp as broken glass.“This…” Everyone flinched, following which a stunned silence fell over the room, the representatives staring at Mason, their jaws slack with disbelief.“P-President Mason…” one of them

    *****Back in Sky Group.“President Mason, what exactly are we waiting for?”The voice of Praise, one of the representatives suddenly cut through the heavy silence that had settled over the conference room like an oppressive fog, her question echoing what everyone in the room had been thinking for the past hour as their patience eroded like sand in an unforgiving tide.As soon as her voice sounded, all eyes immediately darted toward Mason, who had returned over an hour ago only to slump lazily in the president’s chair, hunched over his cell phone, completely absorbed in a video game.That’s right.One would have thought he would have addressed the room after his return, but no. As though he wasn’t the one they were waiting for, he had been frantically playing the video game since his return, his thumbs clicking rapidly across the screen of his cell phone, sweat glistening on his brow, as though he were locked in a life-or-death struggle in the virtual world.….“Die!

    Chapter 223 - Lucius’s Secretary’s Disappointment

    *****”Young… young master,” a trembling voice abruptly broke the silence inside a lavish hotel room.The speaker was a flushed, naked woman who was currently sprawled across a king-sized bed, gazing up with watery eyes, her breath shallow and uneven.Perched on the edge of the bed, Lucius—equally unclothed—was just setting down his phone.His sharp, cold eyes immediately flicked toward the naked lady, and in the next instant, his expression darkened with unrestrained disgust.“Snap out of it already, you whore!” he barked, his voice cutting through the intimate atmosphere like a whip.“This…” The lady jolted as though slapped, the haze in her eyes dissipating like the wind.She stared at Mason in bewilderment, unsure how the man who had just shared a heated moment with her—whom they were just planning another round together could transform so quickly.She couldn’t react for a moment, but then recalling that this was how Lucius always turned cold and dismissive after getting wh
