2025-01-21 04:09:29Muna's words surprised them all. Elena dragged her hand off Muna's grip, while still staring in disbelief at the beautiful damsel claiming to be Franco's Wife.
"Excuse me, Miss Beautiful!" Edgar said, unable to control his urge to speak to the beautiful lady standing before him. "What husband were you referring to, because the only man standing before you is ME. So, which other man are you referring to?" "I'm sure you all aren't blind, are you?" Muna responded, turning her look off Edgar. "Franco here is My Husband" She added and they all burst into immediate laughter. Even the guests couldn't stop their laughter from being audible. "Your husband?" Rita ridiculed "Please check very well to confirm if it is the same Franco that I know that you're referring to as your husband!" She added sarcastically. Muna ignored her and walked to Franco, gripping his fists softly. "Nobody should ever dare to speak to Franco how it pleases them!" "Excuse me?" Elena said angrily, "Just because you won the award of MISS UNIVERSE and also entitled as the most beautiful woman on earth doesn't make you treat Franco special. For your information, this man here insulted my sister and I won't be taking it likely with him!" She spat out but Muna cut her off angrily "And for your information, Elena, this same sister of yours talked and looked on my husband..." "What useless husband are you talking about, Miss Beautiful?" Mara had to speak up, fully occupied with anger. " This same husband of yours called me a prostitute. No matter what you are or whatever title you Bear, you can't stop me from throwing this Useless man out of here!" Mara added in a more sarcastic tone. As Mara said these words, Elena came up and supported her, laying all the blame on Franco. After her declaration, she turned back, yelling "Security!" The security ran out, approaching Elena. "You all are so stupid to allow someone as filthy as he is into this mansion!" She reprimanded furiously "Now, take this trash out of here and I don't mind if you also escort Miss Beautiful out of here, since she's also supporting her husband's nonchalant attitude!" "Okay, Ma'am!" The security bowed, turning to Muna who smiled at them repeatedly. "What are you waiting for, throw them away!" Rita added and the police approached Muna and Franco. Just when they wanted to touch Muna, a voice yelled from behind "Don't you dare lay your hands on them!" They all looked back and saw George, the manager in charge of the event. Elena and her sister were shocked to hear George stop the men from touching Franco. They expected him to throw Franco away, but contradictorily to their expectations, George slapped the men immediately. "How dare you raise your filthy hands on the CEO of Scott Empire?" He added and bowed before Muna. "I'm sorry, My Lady! Please punish me on their behalf!" He said, clearing the eyes of anyone. The Froston were left in awe after hearing that Muna was the CEO of Scott Empire. The same empire they planned on renewing their contract with! That was the reason they were here, to renew their new contract under the new CEO of Scott Empire but hearing that Muna is the new CEO, they were lost in surprise. "You are not correct, are you? She cannot be the CEO right?" Elena asked in disbelief but George stood up angrily, turning to Elena with so much anger. "If she's not the CEO of Scott Empire, then who is the CEO?" He asked, adding "You?" Elena turned to Edgar who shook his head, implying that he was as surprised as all of them. "Tell me, who are they? What are they doing in my house?" Muna asked George. "They are a very big corporation which the President Of GLC recommended to us. Because their recommendation came from GLC, we built a very strong alliance with them over the years!" George responded turning to Muna who commented that they were not worthy of the Loyalty. "You cannot tell me that a company ruled by this woman here maintained a loyalty collaboration with us over the years. I do wonder how that was possible!" She added, turning to George with a threatening expression. To prevent their strong alliance from going down to no avail, George directed to Elena and Mara to kneel before Muna and ask for her mercy. This was a very difficult task for Elena to complete considering that she is a boss of her own. Not just that, many people are present at the event and 70% of them are very much aware of her identity. What will become of her if she knees before her fellow woman? While thinking about this thoroughly, her mother whispered to her. "Why are you wasting so much time, Elena? Go down and beg the CEO of Scott Empire. We managed to reach this level all thanks to them..." "It's just a matter of a few minutes. Keep your pride aside and tell her you are sorry" After giving her mom a listening ear, Elena sighed heavily before turning to her sister, Mara. She gave Mara a sign to kneel first and she'll follow. No matter how much pride Mara has, she still knelt before Muna. "I'm sorry, I never knew you were the CEO of Scott Empire. My apologies!" Mara pleaded, keeping her look on the ground so that the media wouldn't capture her face. Muna turned to Elena, "Aren't you sorry?" She asked and Elena walked to her with a forced smile. She knelt before her and pleaded "Please, dear, we never knew you were the CEO of Scott Empire. Please have mercy on us..." Elena was not only angered that she knelt before her fellow woman but was also lost in the thoughts of how possible it was for Franco to marry Muna. She attempted to get up on her knees when Muna's voice echoed. "I'm not the only person you duo offended..." "You also offended my husband, Franco. So, get on your knees and ask him to forgive you!"

238. He Should Be Removed Immediately!
The silence that followed Franco’s threat was broken when Granny stepped forward. The tip of her walking stick struck the ground with a sharp crack, commanding attention. Her wrinkled face was stern, her eyes locked on Eddie.“What on earth are you thinking, boy?” she demanded. “Did you truly believe you could bring down the Lord? Do you have a death wish?”Eddie froze, his breath catching. Of all people, Granny was the last he expected to hear this from. He had thought she would show her resentment for Franco—maybe even stand beside him in tearing the man down. But her words revealed the opposite. She was siding with Franco.The realization stung like betrayal.“What are you saying, Granny?” Eddie’s voice shook with disbelief. “You mean to tell me I shouldn’t be doing this? Don’t you know who we’re talking about here? It’s Franco! The same useless man who once lived under your roof as a pauper. And now you defend him?” His voice rose, raw and incredulous. “You should be condemning hi
237. Choose Wisely!
The whispers in the crowd still rippled like restless wind when Franco turned his cold eyes toward Eddie.“I love your audacity, Eddie. But…” His voice trailed, heavy with menace.“You should have learned from what happened to Rita,” Franco continued, his tone sharpening. “Her fate should have been enough warning—that no one speaks against the Ruffian Lord.”Eddie turned to him, fearless, his stare piercing through the weight of the threat.“So, what exactly are you trying to prove by that? That you’re above being spoken against?”He stepped closer, his voice gaining edge. “You should know better, Franco. Just because you were made the Ruffian Lord doesn’t mean you’re pure. Personally, I don’t see anything Ruffian about you. You don’t even deserve the position you’re standing on.”The words barely left his mouth when a metallic click cracked the air—guns cocked and aimed at Eddie’s head.The sharp sound froze the crowd. Breath caught in throats as everyone braced for the inevitable—a
236. Do You Have Solid Reason To Back It Up?
As Rita collapsed, weak and fragile, the cameras instantly locked onto her face—the woman who had shaken the heart of the Lord.This had never happened before. Even Lord Xoxo himself was stunned. How could the Lord’s divine ears be moved by Muna’s words?The crowd whispered the same question, their voices rising in disbelief.Eddie only shook his head. He still couldn’t accept it. The very man he despised, mocked, and dragged through the mud—Franco—was now standing before them as the Ruffian Lord.The memory struck him like a blade. Months ago, Franco had challenged him to present a gift to the Scotts. Eddie brought fakes, confident in his scheme. Yet Franco had destroyed those gifts and—before everyone’s eyes—summoned Lord Xoxo to deliver treasures worth billions.Now it all made sense.Eddie’s lips trembled.“So… Franco was right that day? He wasn’t faking it? He… was the true genius?”His chest tightened. His thoughts dragged him back to that night.“And that night…”His pulse quic
238. The Ruffian Lord Can Be Merciful?
But even with all her begging and desperate pleas, her mother’s body kept trembling under the assault of that terrifying power.Her words couldn’t reach Franco. They bounced off him as if they were nothing, and the sight of this made her lips quiver.“My words don’t reach the ears of the Lord… This isn’t the Franco I once knew. This version is merciless, unyielding. Why? Why can’t he hear me? Is he truly this wicked—or is he only taking his revenge on us?”As the thought left her trembling lips, she looked up again—and froze. Franco’s ears were glowing. Her head shook violently as she whispered to herself, trying to grasp the meaning of it.It wasn’t only her who was shaken. The people watching also asked themselves, their voices filled with dread.“Why is this happening? Why are the Lord’s ears glowing?”“This can’t be a good thing!”“No…this is bad, terribly bad!”“Is this a curse? A bad omen? What on earth is happening?!”Everyone had questions, yet not a single answer that could e
237. I Have Sinned I know
Elena’s lips quivered until her teeth began to chatter. She stood rooted, watching her mother convulse as if struck by lightning. Breath jagged, she tried to make sense of it all. “Franco is the—Franco is the Ruffian Lord?” The words came out broken, each syllable soaked in disbelief.Rita’s body shuddered under the invisible pressure. Maya threw herself to her knees before Franco and bowed her head until her forehead touched the floor. “My Lord, have mercy. Please—my mother didn’t mean to. She failed you; she failed to show you the honor you deserve. Spare her life.”Franco’s fists tightened. Mercy did not live on his face. He unleashed another searing orb; it struck Rita with bone-deep force. Her mouth hung open—soundless. She hovered between worlds: mind sharp, body betrayed by pain.Edgar staggered as if the revelation had knocked the breath out of him. “Franco… the Ruffian Lord?” he repeated to himself, as though saying it might bend reality.Maya’s voice cracked again. “Please,
