The Majestic Heir Chapter 179 - Nicholas' Confidence
Meanwhile, at the Everstone Manor."Hey, why are you so slow? Hurry up and check if all the lights have been set up along the pathway! We can't have tonight's event looking dull just because you weren’t paying attention."A young butler, one of the senior attendants of the manor, was overseeing the workers who had been busy decorating the estate for the past two days.The garden had been meticulously arranged to appear more stunning; lights were installed along the path leading from the main gate to the manor, and every piece of furniture inside was inspected—many of which had been replaced. Even some of the wall colors had been subtly adjusted."Hey, you! Why are you putting that table there? Move it now! It can’t be blocking the guests!"Not only was he supervising the preparations outside, but the young butler was also closely monitoring the work being done inside the manor.Before long, the unmistakable sound of a Huracan's engine echoed from the front yard. A young man stepped ou
The Majestic Heir Chapter 180 - The Final Preparations
"Miss Winslow, you look absolutely stunning!"The maid helping Harper into her white gown couldn't hold back her admiration. Known as one of the most beautiful women in Walenstein, Harper always looked good in anything she wore. But tonight, with an evening dress specially designed for this occasion, she truly looked like a goddess."Seriously, Miss, even as a woman, I think I might be falling for you!"Another maid, who was in the middle of applying Harper’s makeup, also voiced her amazement.It wasn’t just them. Every maid in the room who laid eyes on Harper felt as if they were seeing someone otherworldly—far more breathtaking than any ordinary human."Lord Nicholas won’t be able to take his eyes off you, not even for a second!"They continued to shower Harper with praise, occasionally mentioning Nicholas as well. But they weren’t just saying these things to flatter her—they were genuinely delighted about the engagement that was about to take place.Yet, as if no one noticed, Harpe
The Majestic Heir Chapter 181 - The Escort
Stepping out of the room, each step Harper took felt heavier and heavier.Because this was such a special night, Margaret had insisted that her daughter get ready at their other residence instead of her own. But even so, it did nothing to ease the unease in her heart.As she entered the elevator, her heartbeat pounded harder against her chest. The resistance she had been suppressing inside her threatened to rise to the surface. For the first time in her life, Harper found herself in a situation she absolutely did not want to be in.Ding!The elevator doors slid open as she reached the first floor.As Harper stepped out, every eye in the room turned to her. The maids, the bodyguards—none of them could look away. Not a single one could even blink."My God… Is this the true beauty of Miss Winslow?" they thought, unable to utter a word, their gazes locked onto her."Lord Nicholas is truly fortunate to have an angel like her.""You look stunning tonight, sweetie."Edward, Harper’s father,
The Majestic Heir Chapter 182 - The Engagement Night (Part 1)
"You... aren't you..."Harper blinked rapidly. The driver in front of her was clearly not one of the usual chauffeurs from the Everstone Manor.Yet, why did he seem so familiar?"Have we met before?"The man turned his head slightly, giving her a clearer view of his face."Of course, Miss Winslow. We meet again. By the way, do you remember who brought you home last time?"With that, he turned back around and slid the small partition window shut, separating the driver’s seat from the passenger area."Ah, so it's you!"Harper’s eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape.She remembered now. This was the same driver who had taken her back from Asheville.It was Wangyal!She had no idea how he had ended up as her driver tonight, but strangely, she felt relieved.This man had left a good impression on her—kind and trustworthy. His presence alone eased some of the anxiety weighing on her heart.More than that, he suddenly reminded her of someone—an old, wise figure who had influenced her deeply
The Majestic Heir Chapter 183 - The Engagement Night (Part 2)
"Oh, come on! This whole event is so ridiculously stiff and formal!"From the parking lot in the distance, Wangyal stood beside the limo, shaking his head as he gazed toward the grand manor's entrance."I made the right decision running away from my family, Marc. Nobility is just too full of tedious and complicated formalities! Just look at that mess!"Marc leaned against the limo next to him, arms crossed. Hearing Wangyal’s exaggerated complaints, he had to press his lips together tightly to keep from bursting into laughter.Wangyal, the legendary driver from Asheville, was once again launching into one of his bombastic tales—this time about his noble lineage. He claimed he was born into an aristocratic family but had chosen to forsake his title in pursuit of the free-spirited life he truly desired.Anyone hearing him speak and watching his earnest expression would be convinced he was telling the truth.But Marc knew better. He knew for a fact it was all nonsense. Still, he kept a st
The Majestic Heir Chapter 184 - The Engagement Night (Part 3)
Wangyal may have been boasting about noble life, but what he said was true. As the grand double doors swung open, two more attendants, clad in Wyndham’s signature formal attire, swiftly moved to stand beside Margaret and Edward, flanking them.With Harper in the center, the front row now consisted of five people, exuding an air of solemnity and formality."Miss Winslow, please hold for a moment." One of the attendants gently stopped Harper from stepping forward."Ladies and gentlemen, please rise to welcome the family of the bride-to-be from the Winslow household." A commanding voice resonated through the vast hall.The entire room obeyed, rising from their seats."Miss Winslow, you may proceed now." The same attendant finally granted permission. "But please, walk slowly."Harper let out a small scoff, visibly irritated. She had been uncomfortable the moment she arrived at this place. Now, with all these elaborate formalities, instead of feeling the reverence expected of such an occas
The Majestic Heir Chapter 185 - The Engagement Night (Part 4)
"The groom-to-be, Lord Nicholas Everstone, and the bride-to-be, Miss Harper Winslow. May you be blessed by the heavens, protected, and guided by its grace."The wedding officiant, clad in flowing white robes adorned with intricate accessories, wore a golden crown atop his head and held a golden staff in his left hand. With his right hand, he gestured alternately towards Nicholas and Harper. Beside him stood two attendants, each holding a tray.The officiant then took a peacock feather, approximately a foot long, from the tray held by the attendant on his right. He dipped it into a golden basin filled with holy water on the tray of the attendant to his left. With careful precision, he sprinkled the sacred water onto Nicholas and Harper, three times each.Closing his eyes, he pressed his hands together in front of his chest and murmured a prayer. When he opened them again, his gaze was both serene and resolute as he turned to Nicholas."Lord Nicholas Everstone, in the name of the divine
The Majestic Heir Chapter 186 - The Engagement Night (Final Part)
"Ummm, m-my child, I mean..."Harper's words sent a shockwave through the entire gathering. But of all the people present, the officiant was perhaps the most stunned.In his twenty years of officiating ceremonies, he had never witnessed a woman reject a man at a wedding. And to make matters worse, the rejected party was a nobleman."I mean..."So shaken was the officiant that he had to swallow hard several times just to find his voice. After all, he was the one who had whispered to Harper. If things spiraled out of control, he would undoubtedly be among those blamed."I cannot accept someone I do not love—someone to whom I cannot dedicate my life."Harper cut in before the officiant could finish his sentence, making her stance unmistakably clear."I cannot imagine a future with a man like that. And for that reason, I refuse this engagement."Her words rang with unwavering conviction as she locked eyes with the officiant. There was no hesitation, no uncertainty—just pure resolve.At th

Chapter 222 - A Relationship from the Past
No one knew that Leah had once shared an intimate relationship with Marvel. The young woman had kept their connection tightly under wraps, never displaying it in public—especially not with her father Lars around. Lars harbored a deep hatred for Marvel and all the shadowy factions lurking in Duskmoor. And Leah, of course, knew better than to take that kind of risk.But everything changed two years ago.Leah had planned to surprise Marvel—only to walk in on him wrapped up in a passionate embrace with a woman who wasn’t wearing a single stitch of clothing.In that moment, Leah didn’t scream. She didn’t cry. She didn’t even say a word.But from that day forward, something in her changed. The warmth between them vanished. She never got close to him again.In fact, it seemed like that very incident was what finally pushed her to leave Duskmoor—to become Violet’s personal bodyguard instead.“You
Chapter 221 - What Do You Want?
“Why did you do that?”The sniper's face—crushed beneath Marvel’s boot—was now an unrecognizable mess. But instead of looking pleased, the gangster boss stared at the young woman with a cold, piercing glare. Leah’s actions hadn’t satisfied him—they’d only raised questions.“Tell me why you shot him.”“Oh, come on. What are you even talking about?”Leah, the woman who had just appeared and gunned down the sniper without hesitation, shrugged casually. Her expression was calm, almost bored.“Why would I need your permission to kill someone who was getting in our way? Obviously, I had to take him out.”“Really? That’s your story?”Marvel narrowed his eyes, the intensity in his gaze sharpening like a blade. He studied her carefully, like a predator sizing up an unfamiliar threat.“Tell me—are you hiding something from me?”“Hufff... You're seriously paranoid.”Leah waved him off, shaking her head in exasperation, as if swatting away a pointless accusation.“Why would I do that? We came her
Chapter 220 - Attack from the Shadows
Thup! Thup!A pair of muffled shots rang out as two bullets silently left the barrel of a sniper rifle. Even someone standing within twenty meters wouldn’t have heard a thing.Marvel, walking calmly across the open ground, was still fifty meters away from the brush. He shouldn't have been able to hear those shots—just like the subordinates of his who’d already ended up dead.And yet, out of nowhere, the man suddenly raised both arms the exact moment the shots were fired.Tap! Tap!With lightning speed, he swatted the two bullets away before they could lodge in his chest, deflecting them in random directions.“All you know is how to sneak around and take potshots, huh?” he growled, eyes narrowing toward a specific spot beyond the shrubs. He'd already figured out where the shots were coming from.“You’re not getting away. You’re going to pay for what you did.”Thup! Thup!As Marvel spoke, two more bullets whizzed toward him—this time aimed at his head and neck.But just as the sniper pu
Chapter 219 - The Boss Arrives
“B-But…”One of the Scorpion members hesitated, his eyes locked on Bulldog, unwilling to look away for even a second.Up until now, whenever the fat man gave an order, not a single member of the gang ever questioned it—let alone defied it. That included him.But this time... the risk was just too high.Just moments ago, twenty men Bulldog had sent ahead were left sprawled on the ground with bullet holes in their heads—dead. If he and the remaining eighty-nine gang members charged blindly into the brush, they’d likely suffer the same fate.“Wouldn’t it be better if we regrouped and came up with a plan? Charging ahead like this is too dangerous.”He finally voiced the thought gnawing at his mind.“Idiot! What the hell do you know?” Bulldog snapped, lifting one hand like he was about to slap the man, but stopping short. “You think you’ve got a better plan than me, huh?”“Just go! Take everyone and move out! I don’t wanna hear another word. I want that bastard caught, and I want it now!”
Chapter 218 - The Mysterious Shooter
Bang! Bang! Bang!Losing his patience, Bulldog pulled the trigger and fired into the bushes a few hundred meters from the inn.In the pitch-black night, he couldn’t see a thing—not a single silhouette. But that didn’t matter. All he cared about was venting his fury and taking down the mysterious shooter.“Come out, you bastard! Come out!”Rattatatat! Rattatatat!Bang! Bang! Bang!Bulldog wasn’t the only one. Several members of Scorpion raised their weapons and unleashed a hail of bullets into the bushes.The deafening exchange of gunfire turned the atmosphere into something straight out of a warzone.While the thugs seemed to relish the chaos, the workers nearby were the exact opposite. Unaccustomed to the sound of gunfire, they pressed their hands tightly over their ears, cowering on the ground.It wasn’t even the full barrage—it only took a single gunshot to leave their ears ringing. Faced with the overwhelming terror of the moment, all they could do was lie flat, trembling violentl
Chapter 217 - Overconfident
“There’s only one option left. Get out of here before your regrets become completely useless!”Leonie’s voice rang out—firm, loud, and laced with unwavering confidence. She was absolutely certain her threat would have an effect.But maybe her daughter had been right. Bulldog and the rest of the Scorpion gang weren’t the kind of people you could scare off with bold words. They were the underworld’s ruling power in this city.Naturally, they didn’t feel fear. If anything, they were pissed.“You bitch! You think we’re some kids you can scare with your mouth? What an insult! And yelling at our boss? You just signed your death warrant!”One of the gang members glared at Leonie, pointing the end of his weapon straight at her.He didn’t care who owned this inn. Even if it belonged to a baron, it made no difference. In his world, power was the only law. And the Scorpions had enough firepower to take on both the city’s nobles and its government.“Hell yeah! Let’s carve her up! But first, let’s
Chapter 216 - Someone Needs to Act Now
“You want me to strip you down in front of everyone, huh?!”Bulldog’s voice thundered in the girl’s ear, making her whole body tremble from the shock.She wasn’t just the kind of person who avoided physical closeness with men—she was suspicious of any guy who came near her. A threat like that wasn’t just scary—it nearly made her faint on the spot.Meanwhile, just a few hundred meters away in the Greencliff restaurant—still part of the same complex as the inn—a beautiful woman in her early forties clamped a hand over her mouth in horror. Behind her, an eighteen-year-old girl did the same.They were Sasha and Leonie, who happened to be cleaning up the restaurant when a gang of bikers stormed in, smashed through the inn’s front door, and dragged everyone outside. If they’d postponed cleaning even a day, who knows what would’ve happened to them.“Tell me—are you really still thinking about saying no to me? You got the guts for that?”Bulldog yanked the girl up to her feet, pulling her so
Chapter 215 - The Cruelty of a Bulldog
“Don’t even think about resisting—or I swear, I’ll make your lives a living hell!”The voice belonged to a heavyset man known only as Bulldog. Towering and broad, he led a gang of punk-styled men as they dragged hundreds of people onto the front lawn of the Greencliff Inn, forcing them to kneel in the dirt. True to his nickname, Bulldog not only had a massive build but a brutal face, almost completely covered in tattoos that only added to his menacing appearance.The people being rounded up looked terrified. They were workers from the construction project to rebuild this abandoned village. None of them had any clue why they were being dragged out like this in the dead of night.“I said don’t move, you idiot!”Bulldog roared, slamming the butt of his pistol into the head of a laborer who was too slow to kneel. The man crumpled to the ground, blood pouring from his head before he lost consciousness.“Let me make this clear. One more time.”Bulldog swept his gaze across the workers, his
Chapter 214 - Something’s Happening
"Is it wrong for me to want you, Marc? I really want you."Harper reached out again, wrapping both arms around the young man's neck, trying to pull him close.“Everything’s going to be okay. I’m here.”Marc gently turned her around and embraced her from behind. At the same time, he draped his jacket—just recently taken off—over her shoulders.Then, he placed his palm against her forehead. That was when the healing zhenqi in his body activated, working to soothe the girl's mind.From the way she was acting, Marc could tell—Harper wasn’t doing this of her own free will. Someone had pushed her into it.“It’s okay. You’ll be alright.”Within seconds, Harper’s body went limp, collapsing in Marc’s arms. Without a word, he picked her up and carried her into his room.Marc might’ve believed he would never let himself do anything inappropriate to t
