11: He Has To Be Alive
The sound of Thomas' knees slamming against the ground echoed loudly through the hotel entrance.THUD!Afterward, there was complete silence. Everyone froze. They stared at the scene before them with wide eyes, as though their minds were struggling to process what had just happened.Thomas Hallow—the newly appointed Dragon General of Vespera—was actually kneeling before a cripple!People's hearts trembled. The passersby who had gathered outside the hotel stared with incredulous expressions. Some had heard the commotion from inside and rushed over to see what was happening.But the moment they arrived and saw the Dragon General kneeling before a man in a wheelchair, their jaws dropped. Some people's mouths even formed an O shape.Unbelievable!Simply unbelievable!But after the initial shock came laughter. Several people covered their mouths, desperately trying to hold back their laughter."Tsk! Is that our Dragon General?" someone chuckled."More like our Dragon clown.""Pfft!" Someon
10: Which Is More Powerful?
The other members of the Rhodes family also began mocking Jordan's betrothal gift."Tsk! Just when I thought things couldn't get worse. He actually brought such a shameful gift.""Does he think our Rhodes family is only worth a cheap piece of jade?""If word gets out, how will our family ever hold our heads high in public again?""I say we should have chased him away when we had the chance."Their mocking voices filled the air.Jordan's eyes gradually turned cold. These shallow, materialistic people... If they knew what the jade in Alessia's hand truly was, they would probably be fighting over it right now.But he couldn't be bothered to explain. Some people were simply not worthy of knowing. A faint, cold smile appeared on his lips."I was once a revered high-ranking soldier in the military. I was only one step away from becoming the Dragon General." His gaze swept across the Rhodes family. "How could my betrothal gift possibly be poor?""Pfft!" Thomas chuckled. His expression carrie
9: Highest Military Honor
Alana's eyes shook with excitement as her voice rose slightly. "This... This is the Great Vespera Medal!"Nestled inside the lacquered box was a finely crafted gold medal. Three smooth pieces of translucent, icy-white jade were set into its center, surrounded by delicate gold filigree. Tiny engraved flowers adorned its edges, adding to its exquisite appearance."What?""The Great Vespera Medal?!"Shocked gasps rang out. The Rhodes family exchanged stunned glances, almost certain they had heard Alana incorrectly.The Great Vespera Medal was the highest military honor in the entire country. Since the country's founding, only ten people had ever been awarded one.The Rhodes family immediately crowded around Alana, eager to catch a closer look. Their eyes widened one after another."It's really the Great Vespera Medal!""My goodness! It's beautiful!""I can die peacefully now that I've seen one with my own eyes!""Young Master Hallow, you are far too generous!""Alana is truly lucky to ha
8: A Match Made In Heaven
Alessia's jaw nearly dropped. She stared at her grandmother with wide eyes. It was one thing for Alana to lie and throw her under the bus. But her own grandmother was actually supporting the lie too.Since childhood, Alessia had known about the Rhodes family's favoritism toward Alana. It used to hurt her deeply, especially whenever she watched her grandmother shower Alana with affection while treating her like an afterthought.But over the years, she had grown used to it. Or at least, she thought she had.At this moment, however, a dull ache spread through her heart as she watched her grandmother fiercely defend Alana.'What would it take for Grandma to finally notice me?'Not as another member of the family. But as her granddaughter."Grandmother..." She lowered her head, her face flushed bright red as she tried to protest. "How could you—""Shut up!" Grandmother Rhodes snapped. Her sharp gaze immediately fell on Alessia, causing the young woman to shrink back in fear. "I am your gra
7: It Wasn't Me
A young man in his late twenties or early thirties stepped out of the car. He was tall and well-built, dressed in a perfectly tailored charcoal suit. A crisp white shirt showed beneath his jacket, paired with a dark silk tie and polished leather shoes.His dark hair was neatly styled, not a single strand out of place. His sharp features and deep brown eyes gave him an air of maturity and authority, while the expensive watch around his wrist subtly hinted at his immense wealth.The moment his gaze landed on Alana, his lips curved into a faint smile. He looked every bit like the distinguished man the Rhodes family had been eagerly waiting for."You are finally here." Alana's cold expression from moments ago disappeared completely. She hurried toward him and affectionately wrapped both arms around his."Sorry for keeping you waiting," the young man said with a smile."It's fine. You're here now."The couple turned toward the hotel entrance. But after taking only a few steps, the young m
6: Attention-Seeking Clown
"My man is unparalleled in both wealth and power." Alana's face filled with pride as she spoke, but the moment her eyes fell on Jordan, that pride turned into undisguised disgust. "If he finds you still here when he arrives, you will have yourself to blame."Jordan's fingers dug into the armrests of his wheelchair. His heart had completely turned cold. Whatever love he had once felt for Alana was gone. There was no trace of it left. In its place was something far colder, hatred.At that moment, Alessia suddenly spoke up. Her voice was as timid as ever. "Grandma... Brother Jordan's legs are disabled, and he has no other relatives..."She hesitated before continuing. "When he was in the army, he helped our family many times. He even saved my cousin's life."Her voice gradually became smaller as she lowered her head. She knew she was overstepping her boundaries, but she couldn't remain silent any longer."Could... Could we not treat him like this?"Jordan's head rose abruptly. His serene
