CHAPTER 68
Darren’s brow furrowed as he looked at the screen.One line of text.Selene’s name above it.Darren's faceA fell immediately.Georgia’s eyes darted between them. “What is it? Darren, what’s going on?”Then she grabbed the phone from Darren and read the message out loud.By direct order of the Prescott army: This gathering is hereby concluded. All guests are to vacate the hall immediately. Whoever fails to comply will be faced with the full wrath of the Prescott army.”The Sinclair family shifted in shock. Elena was the first to break the silence. “You told us the gifts were from you. Why would Selene send a message now?”Panic wished over Darren, but suddenly his face darkened.“She must have been angered by that idiot’s presence.”Georgia’s brow furrowed. “Angered enough to scare the guests away?”Darren’s tone hardened, his frustration boiling over.“Yes, maybe Lance even sent the message himself, pretending to be her, just to ruin my wedding.”“I’ll make sure that bastard rots in h

CHAPTER 66
Those words cut deep.Georgia stepped forward, her eyes glinting with satisfaction. “I’m glad you’ve finally seen the truth, Isabelle,” she said with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. She turned to Lance, her voice laced with venom. “You’ve embarrassed her enough. I’m glad she’s free of you.”Elena’s lips curved into a mocking smirk, her tone as cold as steel. “I’m glad you see the truth, sis. This man is a worthless piece of trash. I only wish you’d realized it years ago… but at least it’s not too late.”Each word pressed harder against Lance’s composure, the weight of them almost unbearable.Then Georgia’s voice cut in again, harsher, sharper.“Now that you’ve heard it from Isabelle herself, why don’t you sign the divorce and get the hell out?”The room held its breath.Lance finally looked at Isabelle. The noise around them faded into silence.His jaw tightened, but his voice softened, almost breaking.“I don't know why you are suddenly acting like this, Isabelle, but I will give
CHAPTER 65
Gasps rippled through the crowd as belief dawned on them.A few guests nodded.“It… makes sense,” one murmured.“The Graysons are the single biggest investor in the Graysons…”Georgia’s lips curled back into a victorious sneer, her voice laced with smug venom. “Of course. I should’ve known. These gifts have nothing to do with you, Lance.” She gestured dismissively at him as though brushing dirt from her gown. “Darren’s influence is the only reason such treasures are here.”Elena stepped closer, “Exactly. You see, sister?” She turned toward Isabelle. “This fool has been leeching off us for five years — and now he’s trying to take credit for Darren’s power. How pathetic.”Darren basked in the moment.Georgia’s voice sliced through like a whip. “Enough of the games, Lance, sign the divorce papers and leave. End this humiliation for our family.”Lance’s eyes narrowed, his voice cold and steady. “Neither Isabelle nor I agreed to the divorce. Why are you trying to force it on us?”Lance’s p
CHAPTER 64
The first woman stepped forward with a crown — but not like Darren’s. This one blazed with fire. Pure gold, heavy and flawless, set with blood-red rubies and black diamonds that caught the light in a fake never ever could.Murmurs swelled.“That’s… that’s a Dragon Sovereign Crown from the Eastern Empire!”“They only made two in existence—one is in a royal vault!”The second woman followed, holding a phoenix statue of white jade so pure it seemed to glow from within. No paint, no flaws, no hollow trick. Its eyes were twin Imperial Rubies — each larger and clearer than any gem the crowd had ever seen.“Those rubies alone are worth more than the entire Grayson estate…” someone whispered, voice trembling.The third stepped forward with a chest of heirloom jewels. Necklaces of flawless emeralds, bracelets of blue diamonds, tiaras encrusted with sunstone so rare that nobles fought wars over a single gem.The crowd gasped in open awe.And then the fourth woman entered.In her hands was a rel

The hall erupted.“You madman!” someone shouted from the crowd.“That crown costs millions!”Elena’s face burned with rage. “How dare you!”Georgia’s voice rose above the chaos. “Stop this at once!”But Lance was already moving to the next gift — the jade phoenix statues.“These phoenixes…” He ran a finger along the smooth surface. “Painted dye over composite jade. The rubies? It's just synthetic glass.”The crowd froze in disbelief.And then—SMASH!The statue shattered as it hit the marble floor. Shards of fake jade and red fragments were scattered like dust.Elena’s hands curled into claws, her voice trembling with fury. “You bastard!”Darren’s face darkened. “How dare you insult the Grayson family’s honor!”Lance ignored him completely, his attention moving to the Stormfang blade.His gaze lingered, his fingers brushing over the steel. His voice dropped to a low, dangerous growl.“This…” His eyes hardened. “…isn’t even a decent forgery. I’ve seen the real Stormfang with my own eye
