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
The Majestic Heir Chapter 189 - Rachel's Fate
Sobs racked Rachel's body as tears streamed down her face. The pain was unbearable, radiating through her like a searing wound, and yet, somehow, she remained conscious."Nic, stop! Please, stop! It hurts!" she cried, shaking her head desperately, pleading with him.But Nicholas only grinned wider, as if her suffering fueled something dark within him. His grip tightened, his actions growing more forceful, his disregard for her pain chilling."Nic, you bastard! I said, stop!"Summoning all the strength she had left, Rachel tried to push him away, but she was no match for his overpowering strength. Her struggle was in vain.Then—Slap! Slap!Two sharp strikes landed across her face."Scream all you want, you little tramp! No one will hear you, let alone save you! I made sure your parents wouldn’t be home tonight. This night belongs to us! Hahaha!"Nicholas’ eyes gleamed with wicked delight. The more she fought, the more he relished in her helplessness.And in fact, it was his plan to ma
The Majestic Heir Chapter 190 - The Price of an Insult
"Harper, watch your tone and remember where you are!"Alistair rose from his seat at the front row of the right-side section. His face was flushed red, and his jaw tightened.Seeing his only son humiliated in public was an insult to the entire Everstone family. He couldn’t stand by and do nothing."Daring to act so insolently toward the Everstone family—do you have any idea what consequences await you and your family?"Hearing that warning, Harper halted her steps. She turned toward the voice and spoke firmly."Did I say anything offensive? All I stated was the truth—that I cannot have any relationship with your family. Where is the fault in that?""Hah, nonsense! Do you think just because your family is the wealthiest in this city, you can defy me? Let me make one thing clear—if I wish, I can ruin your family overnight!"Alistair was not making empty threats. As a baron, he wielded the greatest power in Wyndham. Forget the Winslow family—even the mayor himself bowed to him.With such
The Majestic Heir Chapter 191 - We Welcome You into Our Family
"Dad, why are you begging like this? Get up!"Harper rushed to Edward and embraced him, then tried to pull him to his feet so he wouldn’t have to bow before this extortionist baron.But Edward didn’t move. No matter how many times Harper tried, the man remained kneeling before Alistair, his head lowered, as if deeply contemplating the deal the baron had just offered."Harper, forgive me for interfering in your affairs."The Mayor of Wyndham, who had been seated at the front of the left group, now rose from his chair."But what Lord Everstone says is true. No commoner in this kingdom can insult a noble family without facing severe consequences."His expression was serious and tense as he spoke. He was the one who had introduced Harper to Nicholas years ago and had been delighted that the engagement was finally taking place. Seeing how things had unfolded, he was truly taken aback."If I may offer some advice, please reconsider your decision. It may be difficult to live with someone you
The Majestic Heir Chapter 192 - Proceed?
As if to demonstrate their support for Harper, the Everstone family members rose from their seats and approached her."Harper, I'm so happy you're becoming part of our family." A young girl smiled warmly and winked at her. Her demeanor was nothing but friendly."I never imagined that all the young women in this family would be envious of your beauty. You’re clearly above them all."Her words and actions might have seemed kind, but one should never forget—she was an Everstone."Don't get too comfortable, bitch!" she cursed in her mind. "I'll make sure the day you lose that pretty face of yours comes sooner than you think! Hahaha!""Harper, welcome to the Everstone family!" One by one, members of the vast Everstone clan expressed their support, their gazes filled with warmth and acceptance.Seeing everyone so kind and affectionate toward her daughter, Margaret nearly teared up. Nothing worried a mother more than how her child would be received by her future in-laws. Witnessing their wel

Chapter 202 - I Can't
"I-I... I can't sign it."The man in the blue suit stammered, his voice shaking as he refused.If he handed over all his assets, wouldn't that be the same as signing his own death warrant?"You insolent fool! How dare you say that? Have you grown tired of living, huh?!"Slap!A resounding slap landed on the man's cheek. Because it came from a cultivator, the force sent him flying a meter back, his face twisting from the impact. A searing pain spread across his skin, making his vision blur.But the torment wasn't over yet.The cultivator yanked him upright again, forcing him back into his seat."Sign it. Now. Don't resist. If you refuse again, I'll make sure you never show your face in public again!"The man in the blue suit sat dazed, blood trickling from the corner of his lips. Yet, despite the agony, he shook his head. He would rather die than lose everything he had built.“I have a wife and child to protect,” he told himself. “I'd rather die than see them suffer.”"You stubborn bas
Chapter 201 - Surrender!
"Oh, wait! Why should I be merciful? Hahaha!"Laughing uproariously, his body tilting back, Alistair looked as if he were toying with those foolish enough to stand against him."Since you've all chosen to stand behind this boy in defiance of me, you've sealed your own fate!"Pointing his finger at the people gathered behind Marc, Alistair's face twisted into a sinister grin. Any trace of patience and courtesy he had previously shown was now completely gone.It wasn't just Alistair. The other members of the Everstone clan were equally overjoyed, their expressions smug and victorious."That brat—Helma’s disciple—actually thought his status alone could challenge us? What a joke! Hahaha!"The bespectacled man threw his head back in laughter, his eyes fixed on Marc. Not long ago, he had suffered humiliation after losing an argument to the young man. But now, it seemed he had nothing to be embarrassed about anymore. Tonight, this boy and everyone with him would be wiped out.One by one, the
Chapter 200 - Fight Back
While Alistair remained frozen in shock at the evidence Marc had just laid out before him, the people in the room shook their heads, finding it hard to believe what they had just witnessed and heard."My God! So the accusations were true! Mr. Belmont wasn’t joking, nor was he speaking without proof! He actually has evidence!"It seemed the tide was turning in Marc’s favor, as one by one, members of Harper’s entourage began to acknowledge the truth in his words. At the same time, their perception of Alistair began to shift."I never would’ve guessed he only seemed decent on the surface, but in reality, he’s nothing more than a fraud!"Not only did they now look at Alistair with disgust, but they also no longer cared about his noble status. To them, nobility was respected because of the values they upheld. Unfortunately, Alistair had none of those qualities."Miss Winslow is lucky she met Mr. Belmont. If not, this scheming man would’ve brought great misfortune to her family."Minutes pa
Chapter 199 - The Evidence
The baron struggled to keep his anger in check, refusing to lose control in front of Marc. He knew that everyone in the room now trusted the young man implicitly. If he lashed out, he risked destroying his carefully cultivated reputation in their eyes."You forced my hand, so don’t blame me for what happens next."That was all Marc said before moving with a speed that ordinary cultivators—let alone non-cultivators—couldn’t possibly follow. In an instant, his right hand darted toward the left side of the baron’s tuxedo and pulled something from the inner pocket."See? Now, do you all understand?"Marc held a small pink ring box high in the air, ensuring Harper and everyone present could see it clearly."The man you all think so highly of stole this box from an abbot in Cammont," Marc declared. "And tonight, I came here to take it back."The room erupted in shock."W-what? Am I hearing this correctly? Mr. Belmont is here to reclaim a stolen item from Lord Everstone—an item taken from an
Chapter 198 - Confess!
"What? This young man is Helma's disciple?"Like everyone else in the room, Alistair's expression mirrored the same shock. Though he remained silent, his heart pounded violently in his chest."No wonder he dared to provoke me," he thought. "So it's because of his formidable background."There wasn't a single person in Wyndham who did not respect Helma. No matter what status Alistair held, he was no exception."Alright, it seems I can't confront him head-on. I'll have to change my approach."With that thought in mind, Alistair quickly composed himself, adjusting both his expression and body language."Oh, dear me! How could I have been so blind to who stands before me? Mr. Belmont, why didn't you mention this sooner? I can hardly forgive myself for not giving you the proper welcome!"As if all traces of hostility had vanished, Alistair spread his arms wide in a welcoming gesture."You should have told me from the beginning so we could avoid this misunderstanding. But as an apology, why
Chapter 197 - His Identity
"Then who is he?" Margaret's sharp gaze bore into her daughter, her anger unmistakable. "Who is he that you would go to such lengths to defend him?""He is Marc Belmont!"Harper’s voice was firm as she met her mother’s glare, then turned her gaze toward Edward, the mayor, and everyone else in the room who might still be doubting the young man."He is a disciple of Master Tilcott! He is the student of the very woman who cured Father’s illness—the woman to whom Father owes a great debt! Now tell me, do you still think it’s appropriate to treat him with such disrespect?"A disciple of Master Tilcott.As Harper’s words echoed through the room, the once noisy space—filled with ridicule, outrage, and the urge to beat Marc down—fell into complete silence. It was as if time itself had frozen, rendering everyone incapable of movement."A disciple of…? Did I hear that correctly?"Within seconds, all eyes were locked onto Marc. Helma’s reputation was too great, too revered—even speaking her name
Chapter 196 - Listen to Me!
"Uncle, Aunt, stop! Stop it!"Harper stepped in front of Marc, blocking them from attacking the young man."Enough! Don’t do anything to Marc!""Harpie, why are you getting in our way?" Dorothy, a middle-aged woman whose features resembled Margaret’s—though she wasn’t nearly as beautiful—tried to reason with her niece. She couldn't understand why Harper was shielding this insolent, no-name troublemaker."Let me teach this brat a lesson so he won’t go around causing trouble anywhere else!""That’s right, Harpie. I won’t let anyone ruin your special day. Tell me, was it this boy who poisoned your mind and convinced you to do something so foolish?"Dorothy’s husband, a middle-aged man, also stepped forward, eager to get his hands on Marc. His fury stemmed from the belief that this young man had manipulated Harper into calling off her engagement to Nicholas."Uncle, what are you talking about? This has nothing to do with Marc. It was my decision!""Wow, look at this! My own niece is defen
Chapter 195 - Prove It!
"You talk a big game, but where's your proof? Isn't this just empty rhetoric? If you're serious about your accusations, then show me the evidence!"At this moment, Alistair appeared serious, as if deeply offended and angered by the young man before him. Yet deep inside, he was laughing hysterically."Hahaha! Just because you have immense cultivation, you think you can threaten me?" he thought. "Nonsense! I will utterly destroy you!"Alistair knew that directly threatening Marc would only paint a bad image of himself in the eyes of those around him. Moreover, if a fight broke out, he might lose some of his own cultivators.But if he took a different approach—countering the young man’s accusations with a compelling argument—it would be the best way to safeguard his reputation and integrity. Even more than that, it would make the people believe in him even more.Ten seconds passed. Marc simply stared at Alistair with a piercing gaze, not uttering a single word, making the baron all the m
Chapter 194 - Without Proof, Anyone Can Say Anything
What?The people accompanying Harper, especially those with ties to the Winslow family, were once again taken aback by Marc’s words."Is that true?"They might not have said it aloud, but the question echoed in their minds."Haven’t the Everstone family shown nothing but hospitality toward Miss Winslow and all of us? But... why is this young man making such accusations?"They didn’t want to blindly believe Marc’s words. But how could he lie—let alone make such a serious allegation—inside the baron’s own residence?Only a fool or a madman would do that! If he was saying something like this, then surely, he had evidence or something to back it up.The Everstone family members seemed to sense the growing doubts among the Winslows. And to prevent the situation from spiraling further out of control, someone had to take action."Well, well, well, what do we have here? Someone dares to accuse a noble family like ours with such outrageous, baseless claims? Hey, man, do you even understand tha
