*****

A sleek, luxurious car sat silently in the parking lot, its elegant design and calm exterior betraying the storm raging within.

Inside, the atmosphere was anything but serene right now.

The air felt extremely thick, as though an invisible weight was pressing down on everyone within right now.

Each breath was labored, the tension so suffocating that it seemed to consume the very oxygen in the space.

The pressure was so tense that it materialized into frost that clung to the windshield

  • Chapter 1261 – “Was… It You?”

    *****At best, the first-rank families would allow their family members to borrow influence… to leverage the family name to achieve something on their own, but outright backing and public endorsement? That was rare to the point of being almost nonexistent.And yet…Not one or two.Four first-rank families had stepped forward, supporting his daughter so openly and almost eagerly that it felt as though they were seeking her approval and favor.Williams’ thoughts became chaotic, one crashing into the next as he tried to make sense of it all, but no matter how hard he tried, nothing aligned.Nothing made sense or followed the rules he had known all his life.But despite that…There was one thing he couldn’t deny.The joy.It rose within him quietly at first, then stronger and fuller, until it filled his chest completely, pushing everything else aside.No matter how confusing it was or unbelievable it seemed…This was real.Four of those untouchable existences… openly supporti

  • Chapter 1260 – Williams’ Chaotic Emotions

    *****At this moment, it wasn’t just a grin again on Susan’s face.No.Her smile had stretched from ear to ear… so wide that it looked like it might split her face if it went any further.Her eyes shone brightly, almost unnaturally so, like someone had lit two small torches inside them.“Hehehe!”Unable to control her emotions again, she suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter… so intense that it directly shattered the silence of the room, making nearly everyone flinch so violently it was as though they had been struck.“This is real after all!!!” she exclaimed loudly, her voice rising, trembling with overwhelming emotion.“Hahaha! This is not a dream!!!”Her laughter echoed loudly through the room, tears already beginning to spill from her eyes as the flood of emotions finally broke through the dam she had been holding all day.Pure, overwhelming joy, schadenfreude, delight, shock, relief, and gratitude all surged through her at once, blending into something chaotic and

  • Chapter 1259 – Little Lola’s Pain

    *****Without hesitation, Little Lola lifted her small head further and looked up at Susan, expecting to see clear pain… maybe even tears or a wince, but instead…‘Huh?’Her mouth opened slightly, a soft, adorable look of confusion spreading across her face as her thoughts stalled for a moment, then...‘Why is she grinning?’Her gaze dropped instinctively to Susan’s arm, focusing on the crimson mark left behind by the pinch.To her, it looked ve ry painful, and although it wasn’t her arm, she could almost feel the sting just by looking at it.Then slowly, she lifted her gaze again, returning to Susan’s face.She was still smiling. No… grinning.And it wasn’t just a small one, but instead, a very wide grin.In the next second, Little Lola felt as though something in her tiny understanding of the world had just cracked slightly.‘Is pinching oneself not painful?’ she wondered, her face turning incredibly serious, as though she had just stumbled upon a scientific mystery that

  • Chapter 1258 – ‘Ouch! That Must Be Sooo Painful!’

    *****For a moment that seemed to stretch endlessly, none of the three could properly process everything they had just heard and witnessed from the gigantic television.Not the news of the four first-rank families… four mighty families stepping forward to support Grace in rebuilding the Sky family and Sky Group as though it were the most natural thing in the world.About two of them had even gone so far as to propose a merger… offering to combine their massive conglomerate with Grace’s company and put her in full control.That kind of statement…It wasn’t just shocking, it was absurd to the fullest, world-breaking, and reality-questioning.It was the kind of news that didn’t sink in right away… it first hovered heavily and incomprehensibly, refusing to fit into any logic their minds could grasp.And so, for what felt like forever, the family of three simply couldn’t process it.Their thoughts stalled, their reactions froze, and everything else just… stopped.Then there was th

  • Chapter 1257 – The Major Reason Behind the Cheerfulness

    *****Still in the living room.The reporter was still busy tirelessly broadcasting the events of the day, her voice steady as the scene kept alternating between her composed face and short clips of everything that had happened.She reported one explosive headline after another… news that under normal circumstances would have held anyone captive, but at this moment?Not a single person in the living room was paying attention.If anything, every single person present looked like their soul and spirit had quietly packed up and vacated their bodies, leaving behind nothing but empty, motionless shells.It wasn’t even an exaggeration at all. Right now, if a random person walked into the room, they would genuinely assume they had stumbled into a room filled with humanoid statues… perfectly sculpted, eerily realistic, and completely unmoving.No one moved or blinked. Even breathing felt… restrained.This was especially true for Grace, Susan, and Williams.The three of them had lived

  • Chapter 1256 – The Oriens’ Fall III

    *****“I am the heir of the mighty Orien family, an upper second-rank family! How dare you put me in handcuffs!” He yelled furiously, seemingly commanding his house’s servant.But unfortunately, no one seemed to listen to him at all, let alone take him seriously.If anything, his words only made the situation more awkward, like someone proudly announcing their importance while being escorted into a disaster.He still hadn’t grasped how deep this situation truly went.And there was the two’s mother.Unlike her children, however, she had taken things to a completely different level.“It was all their grandfather’s fault!” she cried loudly, her voice thick with forced grief as tears streamed down her face. “My children are innocent! They shouldn’t be blamed!”She tried everything.Deflection, blame-shifting, and emotional manipulation.At one point, she even collapsed dramatically, fainting as though the ground itself had betrayed her.A few seconds later, however, she cautiou
