Chapter 1148 – Lucius’s Sudden Cultivation Regression
*****At first, Lucius had even told himself that it was temporary… a fluke and a desperate spark before extinguishment.But Grace hadn’t stopped, stumbled, broken, or begged… instead, she had advanced, and just as he reluctantly accepted that she had caught up to him, she moved past him… quietly, steadily, and decisively.That alone had been difficult to swallow.Yet the true humiliation came afterward.When he thought she had fallen again… just when he believed she had lost her backing, protection, and everything that made her, things changed.Lucius had felt a twisted excitement, believing that this time, he would toy with Grace even more easily than before and ensure she understood her place.He had even indulged in those fantasies, replaying them like a child savoring revenge.But instead of collapsing…She shot upward… but not in a gradual rise or careful climb like before.Instead, she had shot upward with such a violent, unstoppable surge that two first-rank families
Chapter 1147 – We Are Simply Not Worth Keeping Malice with Her
*****Lucius was too dumbstruck right now, finding it difficult to believe what he had just heard.His father was openly acknowledging their own inferiority… a realization that felt more painful than a slap.But before he could fully process it:“And as it seems,” Augustus continued without raising his voice, “she is one of those people.”Lucius’ vision dimmed at the edges, the room seeming to tilt slightly.She…” he stammered, pointing instinctively as though Grace herself stood before them.His finger trembled. “Even after all she has done? After humiliating us to the extent she had done? And after making us the laughingstock of the entire city?” His voice cracked, anger and wounded pride fighting desperately against the fear clawing up his spine.Augustus exhaled slowly, the sound weary rather than furious.“You are thinking about our pride,” he replied evenly. “But I am thinking about our survival.” He shook his head, a rare gesture of concession.“For your sake, for mine, and for
Chapter 1146 – Lucius and Augustus’s Terror
*****Augustus slowly raised his head after hearing the question, the movement deliberate and almost mechanical… as though the simple act of lifting his chin required effort he did not currently possess.Then his gaze shifted toward his son, who was already staring at him… his eyes wide and his pupils quavering, filled with questions he did not dare voice, horror he couldn’t conceal, overwhelming disbelief that it left him looking almost childless, and the crumbling remains of his arrogance.The young man who had strutted around with boundless confidence only yesterday, but now… he looked like someone who had just glimpsed the edge of a cliff in the dark.Lucius had asked the question, his voice breaking like fragile glass, but the truth was written plainly across both their faces… they were thinking the same thing, and neither of them liked the answer forming in their minds.“I would also like to know how,” Augustus admitted at last, swallowing hard, the sound painfully audible

Chapter 1145 – Terminate The Mission!
*****As soon as they concluded their plans, the Scoans' father and son duo had dispatched their forces, sent out their scouts to confirm Grace’s and Xavier’s locations, and issued their orders with ruthless clarity.Since then, they had been waiting patiently… waiting for the moment their subordinates dragged Grace and Xavier into the estate like captured animals, forced them to kneel, and handed them over for punishment.Lucius, in particular, had even indulged in vicious fantasies.He had imagined countless cruel scenarios… things he had thought he wouldn’t be opportune to do again.He had planned to torment Grace slowly and methodically, making her regret every breath she had taken, and for daring to reject him for a common ex-convict.And Xavier?He had planned to force him to watch powerlessly, after he had personally crippled him and rendered him to an unbearable, devastating torture… a thought that had filled Lucius with such twisted anticipation that he had nearly sali
Chapter 1144 – The Scoan Estate II
*****Yes, the moods of the Scoan father-son duo had been completely shattered since the banquet, after Lyria, representing the Myron family, had publicly humiliated their family.The banquet had ended disastrously, with the Guests who had been laughing and toasting with them earlier suddenly fled as though the estate had caught fire, each departure faster and more awkward than the last.Some hadn’t even bothered hiding their panic.It had been the social equivalent of watching rats abandon a sinking ship… and the Scoans had been left standing on the deck, staring in disbelief as the water rushed in.Since then, their moods hadn’t been good, but… it hadn’t been like this either.With that, they had only been incensed… burning with rage, their egos bruised but still intact.They had ranted endlessly about the hypocrisy of their so-called allies, those upper-second-rank families who supported them when profit seemed guaranteed and immediately distanced themselves the moment risk
