Chloe was getting ready to attend Sage’s birthday party. She didn’t want Authur to punish her like he did the night before.

Just because she had failed to attend to him during a certain period, he made her clean the entire house and she didn’t sleep all the night

Just then, someone barged into her room. The person was no other than Authur.

“Take this and wear it!” Authur threw an ugly-looking dress at her.

“Wh…what’s this?” Chloe scrunched her nose as she held the dress up and looked at it scornfully.

“I want you to wear this now!” Authur said in a demanding tone.

The dress was a black maid dress, and it had white designs that said ‘MAID’ printed boldly on the chest.

Chloe dropped the dress on the floor, she spat at it, and then said, “I can’t be caught dead in this”

“I don’t care how you get it on, but if you don’t wear it and come to the party room in the next five minutes, then I will make sure I send you back to where you belong!” 

After hearing Authur’s bitter words, she picked the dress back up and tried to imagine herself wearing it.

How could he give her such a dress like this?

She had never worn a disgusting-looking dress like that, not even a maid would accept to be seen in that.

Chloe was starting to feel uncomfortable. She waited for Authur to leave, but he seemed to be waiting for her to change in his presence.

“I need privacy!” she gulped her saliva before she continued. “Pl… Please”

Authur left the room, he didn’t have any intention of staying there any longer than that. He just wanted to see how she would react and then leave.

Chloe went down on her knees immediately after he left.

Why did life have to be this cruel to her?

“Is this karma?” 

She used to treat him like this, and now he was treating her the same way.

Chloe regretted her decision. She would have treated him much better if she knew he was going to be a billionaire someday.

She remembered that Authur had given her five minutes to get ready, she wiped her tears and stood up from her knees.

Soon she got dressed and looked at herself in the mirror.

She couldn’t recognize herself. She had eye bags under her eyes, which were probably from cleaning and working all night.

She breathed down deeply and rushed out of her room.

***

Everyone was present in the party hall, which was located right in Authur’s mansion.

The rich and influential people were present and each came with their presents to give to the only sister of Mr. Maxwell.

After hearing what happened to the Carter’s group, rumor had it that the CEO of Emerald Isle was the one behind their current misfortune.

Even the Carter’s were present, but they excluded themselves from the crowd and tried to hide their heads in shame.

“I can’t believe these losers are here!”

“They used to be an elite but now they are not and I can’t stand them!” 

“Such losers!” 

Lady Carter especially was ashamed of herself, even her friends who were once worshiping her were saying harsh words and spitting it at her face.

She would surely find a way to speak to Chloe after the party, she couldn’t bear to face the humiliation anymore.

Even Ethan had stopped his wedding arrangements with Chloe.

“Mom!” Chloe whispered as she saw her mom, she was holding a tray in her hands and was serving the guests drinks when she caught sight of her family.

“Concentrate on your work and stop mumbling you fool!” The woman hissed loudly and shouted at Chloe.

Chloe clenched her teeth, everyone treated her differently now that they knew she worked as a slave for Mr Maxwell.

“Sorry ma’am,” Chloe said between clenched teeth and excused herself from the group of women.

As she was walking, she unfortunately bumped into a woman and she quickly said, “I am so sorry!” 

“Where do you think you are going? Look at what you did, you good-for-nothing!” 

The woman was Lady William, even though her son was married to Avery Carter, she wasted no time in humiliating Chloe.

After all, the Williams family almost got wretched and it was all their fault.

Everyone turned to look at Chloe and some cursed her loudly, some people even went to the extent of spitting on her.

Lady Carter and her daughters heard the loud noise and they immediately went to check what went wrong.

“Lady William, why are you treating me this way? We are family!” Chloe didn’t expect Lady William to treat her that way, she of all people should have known better.

“We are not family! We were once family, but not anymore!” Lady William said loudly, she wanted everyone at the party to hear her.

“What has gotten over you lady William? Do you realize that you are speaking to my daughter?” Lady Carter went in between Chloe and Lady William and stood facing Lady William.

“You didn’t train your daughters well lady Carter, if you did then she wouldn’t have ended up as a maid in her ex-husband’s home! I am ashamed of you!” Lady William held her chin up and confronted Lady Carter.

“Ooh, a family show haha!” 

“Maybe a show of miserable people!”

“But I think Lady William is right!”

The argument made people gossip loudly amongst themselves.

Chloe didn’t want to cause a scene, she felt like tearing Lady William apart but she couldn’t.

She could only bite her lips until she felt the metallic taste of blood in her mouth.

At that moment she wished the ground would open and swallow her.

“Mother-in-law you shouldn’t treat my family that way” Avery decided to stand up for her mom and her sister.

“Oh shut up! You should be grateful that you are still a part of my family, I am only tolerating you because you are married to my son, Nolan.”

“Why are you making a scene in my house!” Authur’s voice resonated around the room as he walked, everyone made way for him and they all pretended to mind their business because they were scared of his presence.

  • Riddles

    Authur briefly glanced at the paper. His earlier smirk remained even though he noticed how strange the questions were.The F-Force was known for being strong, brutal, and powerful, yet the mind test before him seemed like something only someone with an extremely high IQ could solve. He had expected physical trials, tests of endurance or combat ability, but this was different.Still, he didn’t waste time thinking about it. He had only one minute to answer the questions, so he pushed everything else to the back of his mind and focused on reading the words in his head.“Crack the code, unlock the truth. But beware, for the truth is not always what it seems.”Brad, who was standing off to the side, kept a keen eye on Authur. He was waiting and hoping to see some sign of hesitation or frustration. Most recruits would have furrowed their brows. He had witnessed most hold their shaky pens slightly as they tried to rush through the questions.But Authur? He looked calm, almost amused.If Br

    Authur finally got home and stepped into his apartment, dropping his keys onto the table with a dull clink. Without a second thought, he kicked off his shoes and walked towards the bathroom.The shower was the only thing on his mind at that moment. He turned the water to a warm setting and stood under it.He let it cascade over him for a while.The events of the day lingered in his thoughts, but he was too tired to dwell on them. When he finally stepped out, he wrapped a towel around his waist and shuffled to his room before falling onto the bed. He didn’t even bother changing into pajamas or eating dinner. Within moments, sleep took over.The next morning, sunlight streamed through the curtains, softly lighting the room. Authur blinked awake slowly, groaning under his breath as he sat up. His body felt stiff, though the rest had helped a little. He rubbed his eyes, then stretched, a small yawn escaping his lips.He swung his legs off the bed, sitting on its edge as his mind clea

  • Chapter 70: Authur meets brad

    Authur sat down so casually that everyone began to think he wasn't a human.Even the highest level of martial artists couldn't take down a man within a twinkle of an eye."The battle ends now!""The battle ends today!" Lord Byron's men shouted due to excitement, they began to dance and bow down to Authur.Roshan was starting to regain his consciousness, he stared at Authur with fear as his men carried him past Authur.Never would he have thought that an ordinary man like Authur would do such a thing to him.A chill ran down his spine when he met Authur's gaze and he quickly looked away.Authur saw them walk away, a figure blocked his line of view and he looked up to check who the person was."Lilly," Authur said in a faint voice.He wondered why her mouth was hung wide open.Authur became worried and thought she was sick again, so he stood up to check her pulse.There was nothing wrong with Lilly and so he released the breath he was holding."Master Authur, you are a great martial ar

  • One move is all it takes

    "Master Authur, you...you j_" Lilly opened her mouth to speak but Authur placed his hand on her lips just in time."Shh, your body is recovering." Authur said and then stopped transferring his Ki to her body.She was already starting to look strong and he didn't want to look too suspicious."Oh, the fight! We need to get back before it's too late." Lilly said as she suddenly sprang up from the bed.If they didn't get there on time then Roshan and his people might try to play some dirty tricks."You should rest a little, your body needs time to recover." Authur said with a soft comforting look.They hadn't been in the room for much time and Roshan couldn't do anything outrageous or the duel would be canceled.But knowing who Roshan was and the dirty tricks he could pull on lord Byron, Authur thought it would be best to get back to the fighting arena."Are you strong enough to walk?" Authur asked after a moment of silence and she nodded her head slowly.After seeing that she was eager

    "We have a clear winner! Miss Lily is the winner of the duel" The man shouted again and walked towards Lilly, raising her hands up in a victorious manner.Lilly still couldn't believe what had just happened, her mind struggled to process it.She had won even after losing hope, even when she was on the brink of giving up.She glanced at the sword, eyeing it like it was some type of savior.There was something different about the sword and she knew it.It was just as mysterious as her boss, now she respected him more. It was obvious that Authur knew things that an ordinary human didn't know."That can't be possible," Roshan stood up, his face distorted as he stared at Lilly, pointing an accusing finger at her. "She must have cheated, I caught her cheating. Arrest her for cheating in a serious situation, we can't accept any form of cheating."Lord Bryon whose face was all smiles frowned at his brother's display of stupidity.It was obvious that the young lady had won fair and square and

She hoped to knock him off his feet, but he remained steadfast.Rodrigo only grew more enraged, seething at the trickery and taunting of his opponent. He was sick of the games, and he was ready to end it all.He was determined to win, to emerge victorious and leave this fight as the only one standing.
