Chapter 82
Elaine froze the moment her gaze landed on Robert Adams.Her chest tightened as though the memory of their last encounter had been waiting to ambush her.She hadn’t healed from it—neither the words he had hurled nor the scars his presence had left behind. And yet, here he was, striding into the grand hall with the same arrogant poise, as though he owned the air he breathed.Elaine’s hands trembled as she gripped her clutch. Of all the places, she had never expected Robert Adams here. He was the last person she wanted to see—no, the last person she expected to see.Robert didn’t glance in her direction. He walked forward with that cold, commanding presence and took a seat in the front row, directly opposite the stage. As he settled, a faint, satisfied smirk tugged at his lips, like he already knew tonight’s outcome favored him.Elaine exhaled slowly, willing her pulse to calm, but the air around her seemed heavy and suffocating. The hum of chatter filled the grand hall—distinguis
Chapter 81
The moment Harry’s words cut through the air, Cynthia's gaze swept over him slowly as though he were something unworthy clinging to the bottom of her shoe.“And yet, with all your so-called status and value, you still tremble at the shadow of the man you call nothing. If he’s worthless, what does that make you—Pathetic.”With that, Cynthia’s grip on Antonio’s arm tightened as she turned away, not sparing Harry a single glance.“Leave the fool to his own madness. He isn’t worth our breath. Let’s go.”Antonio, who had been calm the entire time, allowed a faint smile to flicker across his lips. There was no point stooping to Harry’s level. He turned away, guiding Cynthia forward. The dismissal only infuriated Harry further. His face flushed red as he began to shout after them.“You think you’re something, loser? You’re nothing but dung she picked up from the gutter! And you, Cynthia—cheap! You had your choice of real men, but you chose this useless trash!”His voice cracked with veno

That weekend, Antonio found himself walking into one of the most exclusive events in Gelrith Valley—the Grand Pavilion Auction.It was the kind of event where billionaires competed, bidding on artifacts, wines, and rare herbs with the casual arrogance of those who had more money than time.Antonio would not have come if it weren’t for Matilda. The thought of her frail body lying in that hospital bed weighed on his conscience like an anchor chained to his chest. Time was running out. She needed help, and tonight’s auction might provide the one opportunity to secure what she needed. If Frostheart Bloom truly appeared on that stage, he had to win it. No cost was too high.Antonio and Cynthia stepped out of her sleek black Obsidian Lynx Hypercar. The air around them smelled faintly of rosewood perfume and polished marble, carried by the warm evening breeze.Antonio adjusted the collar of his plain charcoal suit.He had never cared for lavish display, unlike the men and women streamin

The question left Florence’s lips before she could restrain it.The dining room grew oddly silent after that, as if her words had wrapped themselves around the air. She felt her own pulse quicken, realizing she had crossed into personal territory. Antonio, however, did not flinch. He leaned back slightly in his chair with the faintest smile curving his lips and his dark eyes glimmering with a knowing light.He understood instantly what Florence’s question truly meant. She wasn’t just being conversational—she was probing, measuring possibilities, and planting seeds. Still, he pretended otherwise, choosing instead to take her words at face value. “Of course I would remarry,” he said smoothly with his tone laced with quiet humor. “Why wouldn’t I? If I found the right woman, I wouldn’t wait an eternity. Life is too short for unnecessary delays.”Florence felt her lips part slightly and her heart warming at his response. There was hope in those words, even if he hadn’t directed the

She just needed clarity. Antonio paused for a moment, tilting his head as if the question amused him. Then, with calm certainty, he shook his head. “No, Miss Gales, I wasn’t there. But I do know the wine. I’ve kept a few bottles at home—it’s quite enjoyable.” Florence’s lips parted in disbelief. She hadn’t expected that answer, and it left her slightly embarrassed. “You… you already have them?” “Yes,” Antonio replied smoothly, his tone carrying a mix of reassurance and unshakable confidence. “I keep a few different bottles at home—Château Duvall, and some Italian reds I happen to like. It's just something I enjoy from time to time.” As he listed them, Florence’s eyes widened. She knew those names. They were prestigious, expensive, and difficult to obtain unless one had strong connections or a deep wallet. She stared at him, stunned and utterly speechless. Antonio noticed the shock in her eyes. He knew what she was thinking—that only a wealthy man could speak so cas
