The Uprising of the Despised Heir    Chapter 117
After Stephen finished speaking, he invited his expert staff to convey the progress of the Magnificent Emerald Park project. A fat-looking man introduced himself, that man's name was Blake Kelly. The man spoke with a serious face, "Actually the building permit process has been completed. We are just waiting for a letter from the government. However, when our project was about to start, a group of the community around the park site rejected the construction of the Magnificent Emerald Park." Stephen paid attention to Blake's explanation, then he asked, "What is the reason for their reluctance? Didn't the local people agree before?" Blake again explained, "I suspect there has been a misunderstanding. They refused because they felt they would become strangers in their own area because of the location of the tourist spot. This concern arises from the location of the Magnificent Emerald park which is very wide. While the surrounding community is not much in number. They are afraid of bei

Fiona hastily wiped away the tears, then smiled. She acted as if she were fine, even though it was obvious someone had slapped her on the cheek and she was clearly in tears."Stephen, I'll tell you later. But first, let's take a shower!" This time she looked at Stephen without hesitation, showing her teary gray eyes. She looks like she's trying to seduce her husband.At that time, Stephen suspected that Fiona deliberately did not answer his words because she had hidden her tears in the bathroom. Then, because she didn't want her husband to worry too much, she undressed herself and invited Stephen to bathe together. That was just a guess for now.The brunette woman in the tub grabbed Stephen's jacket to take it off. But before the suit fell, Stephen held Fiona's hand.With a probing voice, Stephen asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"Fiona smiled stiffly, "I don't want to hide anything. I'll tell you later. Now, you wash up first!"Stephen stared at Fiona, while his hands gripped

Aiden's words caught Fiona's attention, and she paused, staring at her eldest brother's serious face. Time seemed to stand still in that moment. The thought of being crossed off the family and heir registers terrified Fiona. She realized the extent of her family's wealth, and if she left the Geoff family, she would have nowhere to go back to. But surviving in a loveless family had become unbearable for her. Countless times, Fiona's older siblings had attempted to trick her into dating foreign men, despite her being already married. Their motive was clearâthey wanted to exploit Fiona's connections with wealthy men. Wasn't this akin to selling off their own sister for business gains? Raising his eyebrows, Aiden asked, "How? You wouldn't make foolish decisions solely driven by blind love for a man, would you?" Fiona remained silent, growing increasingly irritated by Aiden's constant threats. To her, family was nothing more than a collection of stifling traditions that had tormented he

If someone did good to someone because they benefited from that person, that was normal. But what about doing good to people who had betrayed or deceived them? Did that make any sense?Meanwhile, Stephen had promised not to block the card he had given to Fiona at any time, under any circumstances.The handsome blond man smiled faintly, then he held Fiona's soft cheeks. "Yes, even if you leave me or betray me."Fiona fell silent at Stephen's sincere answer. His clear blue eyes made Fiona not want to stop looking at him. To Fiona, he was like a wide, beautiful ocean with gentle breezes and warm sun.The brunette woman held both shoulders of the stout man in front of her. "Aren't you afraid of losing with that bet?"The man didn't answer, but he smiled and asked Fiona back, "How about you? Aren't you afraid of losing with the bet you made?""Me?" Fiona swallowed her own saliva. Actually, when she made that decision, she only briefly thought about what was in accordance with her heart. She

Fiona glanced at Keyla, giving her a disapproving look. Stephen realized it too. In fact, there was nothing wrong if they went together because Keyla was Fiona's sister. But that day was Stephen's first public appearance, so he wanted to make it feel special for him and Fiona.At that moment, Stephen looked at Keyla's luxury car, which was also parked in the Magnificent Emerald hotel's parking lot. Raymond was sitting in the driver's seat."But, I think someone is waiting for you," Stephen said to Keyla, smiling at the man in the black suit who was waiting for her.The beautiful model with long, straight black hair followed Stephen's gaze and looked annoyed at Raymond. She tried to refuse Stephen's order, saying, "Butâ"Before Keyla could say much, Stephen interrupted, "Get in your car immediately for your safety!"Keyla tightened her fist, but she obeyed the order because it came directly from Stephen. She complied and said, "Okay. We'll meet again on the catwalk stage!" The model in

"There she is!" he exclaimed under his breath.As they drew closer, Stephen gently placed his hand on the woman's shoulder. "Fiona!" he called out. Instantly, a wave of emotions washed over her face, and she leaped up to embrace Stephen."Stephen, you're incredible! I'm so proud of you!" Fiona exclaimed, her arms tightly wrapped around the blond man. Stephen intentionally lingered in the embrace, savoring the warmth and comfort that her hugs brought him.Whispering softly, he said, "I appreciate your unwavering support, My Love." Those whispered words were precisely what Fiona had longed to hear. They were the whispers that always tugged at her heartstrings.After a few blissful moments of cuddling, they engaged in casual conversation while listening to Horizonplay performing their melodic tunes.The songs played on, one after another, carrying the couple away on a wave of warmt

Several times, William noticed Alyssa paying attention to Raymond and not focusing on what Oliver was saying.Initially, William thought it was because Alyssa hadn't seen Raymond for a long time, but if it happened more than once, it meant something else was going on. Moreover, there was an unwritten rule that a

After the park's inauguration, visitors increasingly enjoyed the free tourist spot. At that moment, Falla was in Fiona's arms, looking enthusiastic as they strolled through the beauty of the park. Fiona turned to her husband and said, "What if we go on the Ferris wheel?" Stephen looked up at the ferris wheel with the slowly rotating baskets. He thought for a moment, then said, "Alright. Let's go there." They walked together towards the Ferris wheel. However, suddenly Falla rebelled in Fiona's embrace and started crying. Fiona gently comforted her baby, "Falla, what's wrong? Are you scared of going on the Ferris wheel?" But Falla's cries didn't stop. Fiona tried to comfort Falla with a small doll she usually played with. But Falla continued to cry. Fiona thought maybe her baby was hungry, so she offered some boiled fruits and vegetables they had brought.

However, admitting guilt meant nothing to Stephen. Regardless, Tristan's crime had caused a lot of damage, and opposing him had consumed much of Stephen's time and energy. Stephen had decided that Aiden still needed to face his punishment.In a low, pressing voice, Stephen said, "If you admit guilt, do you still deserve to be among us?"Aiden looked at Stephen, not surprised by Stephen's decision, but remorseful for his own foolishness and ill treatment of Stephen and Fiona all this time.Moreover, this was not the same Stephen that Aiden had once suppressed. After this, Aiden wouldn't be able to escape Stephen, even if he hid at the ends of the earth. Stephen would surely pursue him and find him. With a regretful expression, Aiden nodded in surrender and said, "No, I don't deserve to be here."With his cold gaze, Stephen continued to observe Aiden. He was curious about what else the man would say.Realizing his unwelcome presence in the luxurious room, Aiden rose from his seat. Since

But, you know I am already married, and soon I'll be a father?"The beautiful woman took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes, I understand."

Their eyes exchanged clear expressions of anxiety, but their determination remained firm. Their visit to the Hudson family mansion had to yield results â they wanted to regain the privileges Fabian had once granted them.Since none of them dared to speak in front of the patriarch after openly admitting their mistakes, Stephen said coldly, "Damn it, I've wasted my time with a bunch of foolish women."
