*****

Meanwhile, someone else in the grand hall was currently experiencing a storm of his own.

It was… Julius Cromwell, the arrogant young master and the same spoiled brat who had sneered at Xavier in the bank just the day before.

Right now, he sat motionless in his seat in the third section.

Normally, his presence was impossible to ignore… boisterous, flashy, and always clamoring for attention like a rooster convinced it was a lion.

But tonight, he had been strangely restrained, silent even while the rest had been busy getting shocked, clamoring about the second rank families, and swooning over Grace’s otherworldly charm.

He had remained calm, silent, and watchful throughout. And the reason behind this? It was none other than the event of the previous day, which had utterly dismantled him.

That single encounter with Xavier in the bank had changed his entire worldview.

Back then, Julius had strutted inside like a peacock, flashing his name and authority, while waving his influ

    *****'If master was calm now, it could only mean one thing... he was setting up for another devastating reversal and hard face smack.'With this thought in his mind, Julius, despite the inferno raging inside him, forced himself to stay seated.His muscles twitched with the effort, his teeth nearly cracked from being clenched so tightly.Yet he endured, desperate to witness once again how Xavier would turn humiliation into triumph. Maybe he could even learn from it and store it away like a secret technique to use in the future.And then, there was Lucius.While Julius trembled with fury, Lucius was practically glowing with glee.His grin stretched from ear to ear, smug and unrestrained as he stood beside his father. His eyes shone brightly, alight with excitement as he savored every cruel word that battered Grace and Xavier.He had intended to orchestrate this humiliation himself, but fortune had handed him a gift. The mob had done half his work for him, and it was so deliciou

  • Chapter 733 – Julius’s Rage

    *****Sarah’s performance was so convincing that many in the hall instantly pitied her, seeing her as a delicate, innocent woman who had once been ensnared by a wolf in sheep’s clothing.“It’s okay, sis,” a woman in the first section shouted, her voice harsh, eager to join in the mob.Then she sneered and jabbed her finger toward another target. “At least you had the courage to dump him once you learned what he truly was! Not like some so-called cold goddess here, who always struts around as emitting coldness and indifference, as if she’s untouchable, constantly looking down on everyone, only to cling to an ex-convict in the end!”Her words sliced through the air like a whip, causing all eyes to follow her finger. It was pointed at Grace.In the next second, disgust and disbelief ignited in their eyes. It was as if the fragile halo Grace had usually worn had now been torn away and replaced with jagged, gleaming horns.“All the strong, powerful, wealthy men in this city have cour

  • Chapter 732 – Sarah’s Relief

    *****After she was done speaking, Sarah’s chest heaved, her breath becoming uneven.The weight of her own words pressed on her like a boulder, and for a fleeting moment, she thought she might fall from what she had just done.Her body trembled… not from regret but from the sheer rush of it. And yet, even through the fear gnawing at her gut, she felt a bitter satisfaction, knowing she would gladly fall if it meant dragging Xavier down with her.She had dumped Xavier, casting him aside like worn-out shoes, and for this reason alone, she believed he no longer deserved a second chance at life.He should rot in mediocrity and trudge through the rest of his existence as a man no one wanted, no one respected, and no one even remembered. That was the fate she craved for him… an eternity of insignificance.The thought was vicious and cruel beyond measure, but in Sarah’s mind it was entirely justified.She didn’t want to leave room for a single hint of regret about abandoning him. If Xa

  • Chapter 731 – Revealing The Truth

    *****'Oh no… oh no no no. I just embarrassed myself in front of an upper-rank heiress. I… I’ve dug my grave. I’m done for. Absolutely done for.'Sarah panicked even more, her instincts screaming at her to deny everything, to twist her words and claim she had been misunderstood, certain that the noble families would defend their own, protect one of their members, and turn the wrath back onto her.But then she caught the weight of those eyes… hundreds of them.Every single one locked on her, unblinking and piercing, with a heat so sharp it froze her blood.Seeing this, a violent shiver racked Sarah’s frame, directly understanding that if she dared to twist the truth now, even by a hair, they would see through it instantly. And when they did, regret wouldn’t matter… because she wouldn’t survive long enough to feel it.Her chest heaved heavily, her breath turning shallow.Ultimately, she turned her head slowly, fear tightening every muscle, until her gaze returned to the woman who

  • Chapter 730 – Sarah’s Apprehension

    *****At this moment, the entire hall was graveyard silent.Not a breath, not a cough, and not even the scrape of a chair leg disturbed the air… the silence was deafening.Every single head had swiveled toward Sarah, everyone staring at her in a daze and bafflement, their gazes seeming to ask: Who is this woman? Has she lost her mind? What in all heavens is she talking about?The sheer concentration of attention should have been enough to make Sarah break into a cold sweat, to make her shrink back into her seat and pretend it had all been a misunderstanding.Under normal circumstances, the pressure of so many eyes would have made her heart trip over itself in panic.But right now… she wasn’t thinking at all. In fact, she had completely lost her grip on reason.At her side, Victor fidgeted miserably, his leg bouncing under the table as though he might vibrate straight through the floor.He tugged at Sarah’s sleeve, whispering furiously through clenched teeth, “Sit down!

  • Chapter 729 – Why Would You Marry Him

    *****Apart from Lucius and Julius, another person who also recognized Xavier was Victor. Immediately, the memory of what had happened two days ago at OceanView estate crashed back into him like a sledgehammer, causing his pulse to spike, the heat of hatred almost igniting, but Grace’s words…“Husband.”The single word struck harder than any physical blow could.The sound continued ringing in his head like the bell of a catholic church, shaking him to his core until he felt empty.His jaw tightened, but his body betrayed him... he froze, his eyes widening like someone had just told him the earth was flat after swearing his entire life it was round.….Meanwhile, as the men in the hall processed Grace’s declaration and their gazes snapped toward Xavier, the women finally allowed their attention to shift to Grace herself.And when they finally saw her clearly… saw her beauty, their collective reaction mirrored the men’s reaction to Xavier.Only, instead of stunned curiosity or
