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
The Majestic Heir Chapter 187 - The Beginning of Chaos
"No, you can't do this to me!"Snapping out of his daze after his body froze for a few seconds from the shock crashing into his chest, Nicholas refused to stay still. He hurried after Harper, who was walking away from him."Please, don't joke around like this. This night is too important—for us, for our future."But instead of being moved by his pleas, Harper only felt more disgusted. Rather than stopping, she continued forward without even glancing back at him."Please, I'm begging you. I swear I'll never hurt your feelings again. Just... don't do this."Because Harper remained silent, Nicholas quickened his pace. He even tried to grab her shoulder, but she ignored him completely."Harpie, please, isn't this what we wanted? The future we dreamed of? You still remember that, don’t you?"Out of options, Nicholas grabbed her hand and pulled her toward him."Tell me, deep down, you love me. That’s the truth, isn't it?" Holding both of her hands in his, Nicholas locked eyes with her, his
The Majestic Heir Chapter 188 - Cunning Smile
"Aaawwch!"Many women present couldn't help but scream as they witnessed Harper slam Nicholas to the ground. Most of them sat on the right side, indicating they were either distant relatives or close acquaintances of the Everstone family."Oh my God! Harper just used violence against a nobleman? That's unforgivable! He must be severely punished!"While these people were in shock over what had just happened, a young woman in a maroon velvet dress sitting in the second row on the right side merely grinned."Wow, wow, wow! What am I seeing here? Harper, you’re far more ruthless than I thought."While others looked tense or shocked, this young woman remained calm. Her expression showed neither fear nor concern, but pure delight at the chaos unfolding before her."Good! Keep going! Beat that bastard! Punch and kick him as much as you like! Hahaha!"Ignoring the disapproving looks from those around her, the young woman continued to cheer, thoroughly enjoying Harper’s actions.Her name was R

Chapter 257 - Just One Question
Marc floored the gas pedal, pushing the Duesenberg to its absolute limit. Even though the car had been heavily modified, the top speed barely touched 220 kilometers per hour.It still felt painfully slow to him.With his cultivation powers, he could outrun it easily on foot.But abandoning the Duesenberg wasn’t an option. It was a noble vehicle belonging to the Walenstein province. He needed to find a safe spot to stash it — dumping it by the roadside just wasn’t going to cut it.Twenty minutes later, his spirits lifted when he spotted a sign on the left side of the road:"Greencliff Village.""Finally made it!"He spun the wheel and took the left turn at the intersection. Soon, he was tearing through a small forest that separated Cammont City from Greencliff Village.Marc kept his foot firmly on the gas—until his nose, sharp and hyper-sensitive, caught a whiff of something foul ahead.The smell was familiar.Goblin stench."They’re back?"His mind flashed to something he'd read back
Chapter 256 - A Farewell
Somewhere else.A vintage Duesenberg rolled to a stop at a crossroads on the edge of Cammont.If they turned right, it would lead them toward the Asheville district. Left would take them straight into downtown Cammont—and a few hundred miles beyond that, the village of Greencliff."You sure you don't want me to take you all the way, Marc?"The driver—none other than Wangyal—unbuckled his seatbelt and turned toward the young man beside him.Marc shook his head. "Nah, buddy. This one's on me. I can handle it."Two hours earlier, Marc had gotten a call from Sasha. Her voice, trembling with fear, told him enough—the Scorpion gang was wreaking havoc in Greencliff. Without a second thought, he left Wyndham behind.I've never heard Sasha sound that scared before, Marc thought grimly. It must be chaos over there.By pure luck, Wangyal happened to show up at Winslow Mansion just as Marc was preparing to leave. The Duesenberg belonged to a noble family—it was strictly off-limits for commoners t
Chapter 255 - The Crucifixion
ROAR!"We're on it, my lady."With savage growls like wild beasts, the two goblins suddenly spoke in clear, human words.Without wasting a second, they marched over to Leonie and Sasha, each grabbing one of the struggling women."Let me go! Let me go, you freaks!""Release me! You’ll regret this!"Their screams tore through the air as they fought with everything they had, but it was useless.The goblins, strong as a dozen men, ignored their protests. They hauled them toward the center of the courtyard and roughly tied each woman to a towering wooden post."You filthy beasts! Let me go!" Sasha cried, thrashing violently.It didn’t matter. Against the goblins' brutal strength, her struggles were like the flailing of a child."Marc will find you! When he does, he’ll kill every last one of you!" Leonie spat, rage flashing in her eyes.The goblins didn’t even blink.After securing the ropes, they hoisted the posts upright, leaving Leonie and Sasha hanging there like prisoners awaiting exec
Chapter 254 - Escalating
"Aaaargh!"Leonie and Sasha screamed in shock as the inn’s front doors were blasted clean off their hinges, crashing ten meters across the floor.They couldn’t even move, let alone run. Their bodies locked up in pure terror.And just when it felt like things couldn’t get any worse, the real horror began.A figure stepped calmly through the wrecked doorway and into the lobby.“M-Mom... wh-who’s that...?” Sasha stammered, clutching onto her mother’s arm.A woman—no, a creature—stood there. She looked around fifty, dressed in a torn-up medieval aristocrat’s gown. Her skin was cracked and peeling like dried-out leather.Even so, compared to any goblin they had ever seen, she was... strangely clean.“W-who is she...?” Sasha’s voice shook as she stared wide-eyed at the approaching goblin.Leonie only tightened her grip on her daughter, shaking her head slightly.Whoever this goblin was, her instincts screamed one thing: she was powerful.There was no other way she could’ve blown the door of
Chapter 253 - Goblin Attack
"Mom, you were right!"Sasha’s face lit up with relief as she pointed outside with her finger."Look! They can’t get in!"Beyond the inn's front door, thousands of goblins crowded together, trying to force their way inside. They were barely a meter away from the entrance, snarling and pressing forward—but it was like an invisible wall was holding them back. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t get any closer.The mass of goblins shoved and clawed at each other, desperate to break through. But all they could do was roar in frustration and rage.Roar! Roar! Roar!"Thank God... we're safe," Leonie whispered, her face softening with relief. It felt like a crushing weight had been lifted off her chest.She had no idea where so many terrifying creatures had come from—but she kept clinging to one thought, one belief: Marc’s promise.He had sworn the inn’s front door was protected by powerful magic.And the lobby? It was the safest place to be.They just had to hold out for another th
Chapter 252 - A Parting Gift
Even though Tedd's voice dripped with hatred, there was a sadness in his eyes he couldn't hide.It was hard to tell if he truly hated Leah... or if he and the rest of the Larsian crew were just using her as a scapegoat for their own frustrations.Leah was, after all, the daughter of their leader.If she couldn’t take responsibility, who else was there to blame?At least, that’s what they kept telling themselves.Leah didn’t say a word.She just stood there, silent.And without meaning to, two tears slowly slid down her cheeks.She hadn’t been lying when she said Larsian was like family to her.So hearing those words—hearing them say they were disappointed in her, that they didn’t want to see her again—hurt more than anything she could’ve imagined."I... I don’t know how to make it right," Leah rasped, her voice thick with unshed tears. "But I really am sorry."She blinked rapidly, trying to keep herself from falling apart right there in front of them. She didn’t want them thinking she
Chapter 251 - A Not-So-Warm Welcome
An hour later, the van Leah was driving rolled through the gates of Duskmoor District.She kept the wheel steady, navigating the van through the deserted streets until she pulled up in front of a run-down building — the headquarters of the Larsian crew.Turning the wheel sharply, she guided the van down into the underground parking lot.Clack!The sound of the van door echoed through the dim garage as Leah hopped out and slammed it shut behind her.A wide grin lit up her face when she spotted the Larsians standing by the entrance — Tedd front and center, acting as the temporary leader while her father, Lars, recovered from his illness.At first, Leah thought they were there to welcome her back.But it didn’t take long for her to realize... something was off.None of them smiled.Instead, they stood stiffly, arms crossed, their faces twisted into scowls. The coldness in their eyes hit her like a slap."You happy now? Huh?" Tedd's voice was icy as he glared at her. "Happy that the missi
Chapter 250 - Between Two Choices
"Well, looks like you’re better than I thought, Mya."Leah, the bank officer inside the second armored van, muttered to herself as she watched the line of police cars and the Benz drive off, leaving her behind.Last night, before Mya set off, she had whispered something in Leah’s ear."Give me the phone number of one of the officers on duty. Make sure it’s someone with a rank. Then just watch—I’ll make everything a whole lot easier for you.""Alright."Leah nodded. It wasn’t hard for her. As a bodyguard, she had plenty of connections among officers and military personnel across Cammont Province. All she had to do was pick someone she thought would be the easiest to sway.After scrolling through her contacts for a moment, she handed Mya a number.And just before the first armored van left the Cammont Bank earlier, Mya had called that number—and she got through."Listen to me carefully..."Mya’s voice poured through the line, firm and commanding."If anyone stops you and asks about me—a
Chapter 249 - Who Gave the Order?
"Listen carefully. Just move the money. Leave the documents and everything else alone."A strange whisper echoed louder and louder inside the two officers’ heads. It was almost like something was trying to control them. Without a second thought, the officer behind the wheel pulled their car over, parking right behind the armored van they'd been seeing. He flicked on the hazard lights, signaling the three cars behind them to stop, too.The convoy obediently pulled over. But the bank manager from Walenstein wasted no time jumping out of his sleek Benz, his face tight with suspicion."What's going on? Why the sudden stop? Why are you halting us like this?"According to the plan, they were supposed to drive straight to the capital without stopping. No vehicle swaps, no changes. The manager's unease grew as he eyed the situation."Sir, apologies," one of the officers said stiffly, pointing at the armored van ahead. "But there's been a change of plans. We need to transfer the money into tha
