085. The Blood Pearl
Eleanor’s eyes went wide the moment she heard her name. Even Asher was caught completely off guard. He hadn’t expected that, definitely not like this, not in front of everyone.He had brought his mother here knowing the Roosevelt family was up to something, and deep down, he believed the patriarch himself had a hand in it. He didn’t trust any of them, and he was sure whatever plans they had, it wasn’t anything good for his mother. But still, hearing her name called out so suddenly rattled him.Eleanor’s gaze darted around the room with her heartbeat pounding in her chest. But when her eyes met the patriarch’s, his gaze didn’t waver for a second. He was dead serious, and he wanted an answer.Slowly, she turned to look at Asher with panic and helplessness in her eyes. And with a small, stiff shake of her head, she said, I didn’t bring anything.Then the patriarch’s gaze shifted slightly from her to Asher. And in that moment, Asher’s eyes moved from his mother to the old man, and a faint
084. A Trap Or Test?
The moment Eleanor’s eyes met the old man’s, It felt like she stopped breathing. The room went so quiet that she could almost hear the beat of her own heart in her ears. But still, the patriarch didn’t look away, his gaze stayed locked on her.Then the rest of the Roosevelt family noticed it too, and they could tell something was up even though the guests had no idea what was going on. Slowly, one after the other, they followed the old man’s stare, and every single pair of their eyes landed on Eleanor who was beside Asher.There were six of them on that stage, so that was twelve eyes fixed on her, and at that moment, she felt a rush of emotions she hadn’t prepared for.Fear, regret, anger, all hit her at once as she instantly regretted agreeing to come to this party, even though Asher had told her the night before it would be fine. But standing there now and facing them again, she realized it was going to be much harder than she thought.Meanwhile, Asher was getting more and more irri
083. Mr Roosevelt Of Drakmont
The Roosevelt mansion was exactly what one would expect from one of the most influential families in Drakmont. It was a sprawling mansion with tall white pillars guarding the grand entrance, large windows framed by heavy curtains, and perfectly trimmed hedges lining the wide driveway.Inside, crystal chandeliers hung from high ceilings, and polished wooden floors reflected the soft glow of golden lamps.The party hall was just as grand as anyone would expect. The air was filled with the sweet smell of fancy perfumes, expensive colognes, and the rich scents of fine wine and delicious food from faraway places. It was the kind of place where power and wealth were obvious in every detail.Asher and his mother walked into the big hall where the event was already lively. Men in sharp suits and flashy jewelry moved around the room, chatting with one another in hushed tone, sipping expensive liquor.“You can tell a man’s worth by the kind of gathering he pulls,” one said as he swirled a glass
082. Queen Ladin
The room was warm and smelled faintly of jasmine oil and clean linen. At that moment, Queen Ladin, the ruler’s wife, Justin's sister, was seated gracefully in front of a giant, beautifully framed mirror. She was a striking woman in her late thirties, with elegant features and smooth, pale skin that made her look younger than her age. Her long, dark hair was being carefully styled by a group of maids.Her back was to the door when Justin stormed in.The second he barged into the room, raging and demanding answers, the maids instantly lowered their heads with their hands trembling slightly as they tried to keep working. None of them dared look his way.They all knew Justin’s reputation. He was quick-tempered, unpredictable, and dangerously spoiled because of his sister’s influence. He could lash out over the smallest thing, and the maids had learned the hard way that it was safer not to meet his eyes.But Queen Ladin didn’t flinch. She didn’t even turn her head. It was as if Justin’s o
081. A Lowlife Higher Than Royalty
After those cold words, Asher didn’t say anything else right away. He just gave Justin a small smile. But it wasn’t a warm or friendly one, it was the kind of smile that hides something dangerous underneath. It was calm on the outside, but one could sense something dark lurking behind it.Then, in a quiet and almost gentle voice which somehow made it even scarier, he said, “I’ll be waiting to hear from you, Justin.”The way he said it so casually made Justin visibly shudder. It wasn’t loud, but it sounded eerier and carried weight, like a final warning no one else in the room could fully explain.And then, without another word, he turned and walked away slowly. Every step he took, every little movement, was watched by the terrified eyes of everyone in the room, the soldiers, the staff. As he walked, the room felt smaller and every throat tightened as he passed.At that moment, only one question hung in everyone’s mind, Who’s next? Because right then, Asher felt like a storm moving thr
080. His Unbearable Ego
As Asher kept moving closer, Justin’s heart was pounding so loud that he swore he could hear it. But his pride, that stubborn, useless ego wouldn’t let him back down completely.“D-Don’t you fucking dare come any closer!” he shouted, but his voice cracked at the end, giving him away. “Do you even know who I am?! I’ll deal with you! I’ll—”But Asher didn’t stop. Not for a second and each step he took was its own answer. I’m coming for you. And nothing, no name, no title, no connection is going to stop it.Then, Justin saw the calm, deadly look in Asher’s face. It was like a wolf closing in on a rabbit trying to act tough when it was already cornered. And it hit him like a punch to the gut. He was the rabbit.With this realization, his confidence and the arrogance he held onto crumbled and his words turned desperate. “Y-You can’t touch me! I’m the ruler’s wife’s brother, you hear me?!”But nobody was buying it. Not anymore.Meanwhile, the sales rep who had shoved Eleanor earlier was now
