Chapter 828 – The Patriarch’s Fear II
*****Sky Group’s doors would slam shut forever for the Sky group once their scheme was revealed, and with them, every benefit, every advantage, and every scrap of power he had lusted after for his precious grandson, and the family would be gone.Thinking this, the patriarch’s fingers dug into the armrest of his chair, his knuckles turning white.Sweat prickled his back despite the chill in the room.Truthfully, he had known right from the start that he was gambling on a double-edged sword when he decided to fabricate the lie of cancelling Grace's arranged marriage. But he had believed he could keep the blade under control, convincing himself that it was a calculated risk with minimal chance of losing.But now the blade had turned in his hands.Yes, he didn’t give a damn about Grace’s family ties.If their fragile bonds turned to ashes, he would lose no sleep over it. But completely losing control over Sky Group?That was something he could never afford.If it were a few da
Chapter 829 – He’s My Husband
*****As soon as William’s voice sounded, a heavy, suffocating silence, thick enough to choke, enveloped the room.Even the air itself seemed to stop moving.The elderly patriarch wasn’t the only one pale now. Nico, along with his children and wife, looked like ghosts.Their skin turned wide, and their eyes wide, as though they had just watched their entire foundation break under their feet.Nico’s wife had been ignorant at first, having not seen Xavier before.But she wasn’t foolish. By now, she had connected all the dots and figured out who Xavier was, thanks to her husband and children, who always kept her informed about everything.And if even she understood, then of course Mason and Honey… dim-witted as they might be, had grasped the danger.Their intellect might not have been towering, but self-preservation? That they understood with startling clarity.If Williams and Susan were to realize that Xavier was Grace’s husband, they would reveal the patriarch’s lie to Grace,
Chapter 830 – The Old Man, Nico, and His Family’s Hopelessness
*****At this moment, a pin-drop silence enveloped the room… so thick, so oppressive, and almost tangible that the air itself seemed to have turned heavy, pressing down on every chest until even breathing itself felt laborious.Seated in his throne-like chair, the elderly patriarch looked as though he had been turned to stone. His mouth hung open, his jaw slackened, and his eyes bulged slightly as if he were staring at a ghost instead of his granddaughter.He had thought he knew Grace. No… he had been certain of it.And this had always been his pride, always assuming he understood her more than she understood herself… which certainly was, in fact, one of the many reasons he had grown to resent her.Grace was too proud, too stubborn, and too unwilling to bow or bend. She never yielded, never accepted control, and always acted according to her own mind and will, regarding everyone with icy-coldness and indifference.And yet, ironically, that very defiant streak was what he had cou
Chapter 831 – The Old Man, Nico, and His Family’s Hopelessness II
*****Yes, Grace was secretive and private to a maddening degree, always keeping her world locked behind the icy, aloof door… but something as monumental as marriage?And yet, here she was, saying it with the steady, merciless calm of someone delivering a verdict.So when her words landed... He is my husband; it was understandable why the impact was able to leave them utterly shattered.To call them shocked would be a criminal understatement.They looked as if they had just discovered their entire lives were nothing but a well-crafted illusion, a cruel dream from which they could not wake.Williams and Susan stood there frozen in body and soul, their eyes empty, and their minds refusing to compute reality.They looked less like living people and more like ghosts still trying to understand how they had died.…For what felt like an eternity, Williams and Susan didn’t move, speak, or even blink.They simply stood there, appearing like two paralyzed and soulless puppets, starin
Chapter 832 – Divulging The Truth
*****Right now, Grace’s mouth had hung open, her eyes wide and gleaming in disbelief, while her jaw dropped.She looked like someone who had just been told that gravity was optional.The silence that followed stretched painfully long before, finally, Grace frowned and demanded, “What are you talking about?”Her tone wasn’t laced with anger... it was just stunned. She was so dumbstruck that she hadn’t even noticed that her mask had slipped.Inside, though, her mind was a whirlwind.'Cancelled my arranged marriage? When? 'she thought, staring at her father in utter bewilderment. ‘What on earth is he talking about?’Williams blinked back at her, completely puzzled himself. “What am I talking about?” he repeated slowly, then frowned as though she were the one being unreasonable.“Didn’t Father say he had already canceled the marriage because he didn’t want you to resent him for life by forcing you to marry someone you didn’t want?”A thick silence slammed into the room.Grace f
Chapter 833 – Williams and Susan’s Disbelief
*****It was as though time itself had frozen in the room at this moment, trapping nearly everyone inside an invisible bubble of shock.Even the air felt thick right now… too heavy to breathe and too dense to move through.Nearly everyone seemed to have turned into statues, not blinking, not shifting, and barely even breathing.On the throne-like chair, the elderly patriarch, who had once been so composed, utterly dignified, and unshakably proud, appeared to be a ruin of his former self now.His chest rose and fell erratically, each breath rasping out as though his lungs had momentarily forgotten how to work.Right now, all color had vanished from his face, and every wrinkle seemed to deepen at once, as if time had suddenly and cruelly caught up to him. What Grace had just revealed… it was the one truth he had feared most, the single thread that could unravel everything he had built on lies and manipulation.Williams and Susan had realized his lies about their daughter’s situ
Chapter 834 – Williams and Susan’s Fury
***** Currently, Williams stood trembling, his face twisted with confusion, disbelief, and something darker… fear. His eyes darted from Grace to the empty space, as if desperately searching for a loophole or some rational explanation for what he had just heard. His body quivered uncontrollably, his teeth chattering together in a jagged, uneven rhythm. He looked possessed… wild and desperate. Then finally… his gaze locked on Grace, who was still composed, cold, and unmoved as stone. “You…” he stammered, his voice breaking. “How could that… are you joking? Was what you just said a joke?” Grace blinked once. Then her brows drew together in faint confusion, and she stared at her father like he had just asked if gravity was real. “Why,” she asked flatly, “would I joke about something like that?” Her voice was calm… almost unnervingly so, standing in stark contrast to Williams’ shaky, nervous tone. And with that, silence once again reigned through the room. W
Chapter 835 – Williams and Susan’s Fury II
*****“Wait,” Grace stammered, her voice wavering, and her composure shattering like glass. “He… he actually said the family had lost its chance to move in rank... and to participate in Projects Echelon?”The disbelief in her tone cut through the tension like a blade.Williams and Susan’s fists clenched so hard that their knuckles went white, their breathing turning harsh and uneven… like they were trying to choke back fury thick enough to burn.They drew deep breaths, struggling to contain the storm inside them.They weren’t fools. The realization they had been previously trying to deny had already hit them... fast and mercilessly.The old man had used them, turning them into pawns and manipulating them like chess pieces for his own selfish game.The knowledge was humiliating… and unbearable.Suddenly, Susan seemed to have lost her mind.She snapped, her voice tearing through the air, sounding sharp and furious, her composure completely gone.“You acted and spoke like you w
Chapter 836 – Williams and Susan’s Regret I
*****For all the years Williams and his wife had known the elderly patriarch, one thing had always been clear… he had never given a damn about them or their daughter. Not once, and not ever.So why, in the name of reason, would he cancel a marriage that promised so much benefit to the family?It doesn’t make sense at all, and they should have realized this.They should have known right from the start that something was wrong with every word he said and how he had said them; after all, the warning signs had been glaring.But they had been too blinded by misplaced hope to see them and too naïve to question the sudden show of “kindness.” Instead, they had thanked him… actually thanked the man who had been playing them like puppets.Recalling it now, the thought alone made their stomachs twist.The elderly patriarch and his precious, most favored part of the family had stripped them of their pride, crushed their confidence, and convinced them to surrender when in fact… they had ab
Chapter 837 – Williams and Susan’s Regret II
*****“Huff!”Williams inhaled sharply through his nose again, forcing air into his lungs until his ribs ached.Then, slowly, his face stilled, the fury on it rapidly draining away as though it had never been there, leaving behind a chilling calmness that was far more terrifying.When he finally looked up, his gaze locked on the pale, frozen patriarch.“Earlier,” Williams began, his voice unnervingly steady, “when you told me to recount what my daughter had missed… it was a mind game, wasn’t it?”The room froze.Williams’ voice wasn’t loud… it didn’t need to be.The calm, unnerving stillness in it was enough to send a cold adrenaline running down every spine present. No one had ever heard him speak like that before... flat, hollow, and stripped of emotion.Before anyone could respond, he continued, his words cutting cleanly through the air:“You knew we would be afraid of letting our daughter know all her options, worried that she might make the wrong choice... and you explo
