"Enough. Stop performing." Sirius' face remained cold and expressionless. "You know exactly how your son died. He brought it on himself. If you want to pick a good plot of land and bury him, fine. I have no objection. But that woman is not yours to touch. Let her go, and the funeral continues. Otherwise, don't blame me for what comes next."

Sirius held Dominic's gaze without blinking.

Dominic's chest tightened. He glanced at the two bodyguards nearest him. They gave a slight shake of their hea

  • Nine Ungrateful Sisters   Chapter 798

    When the sisters returned to the Chamberlain villa, they found the place in complete disarray.Every one of them felt a surge of anger. This was their home. It was the place where they had grown up, and it was where their hearts still belonged.Even after being thrown out, they had quietly held onto the hope that one day they would return. That hope had driven them to work so hard and build lives for themselves.But now, the place they cherished had been defiled.Hilda covered her nose and stepped inside. The moment she entered, the rotten stench forced her right back out. "This is where Amara used to live! How could she let Jason wreck the place like this?"The apartment they rented now sat beside a garbage dump. Every day, whenever Hilda had to walk past it, she covered her nose and hurried by. Yet this house smelled even worse.Giana frowned as well, but when she thought about everything Amara had endured, she fell silent.Their father must have pushed her to her breaking poi

    Anyone Oscar would entrust with secrets like those had to share an extraordinary bond with him. Yet none of them had ever even heard of her before.'Oscar, oh Oscar. Why has your death left me carrying such crushing guilt?'…While Elara visited Bella, matters on Arthur's side finally came to an end.Christopher still felt that something was off, but after privately consulting the Draconox Order's senior elders, every one of them told him he was overthinking the situation.Arthur had volunteered to assume the Archon's responsibilities himself. If he truly had something to hide, he would have known the selection trial could easily cost him his life. Allowing him to become an Archon candidate would prove whether his claims were genuine.Besides, even if someone wanted to stop him now, who exactly would they be opposing? Not just Arthur, but every Draconox elder who had returned with him.…The Chamberlain family boarded a flight back to Silverton.Selecting a new Draconox Archon

    Natalie glanced sideways at Elara.She actually knew a fair amount about her.Parents always doted on their weaker children. In a large family like the Chamberlains, the child who never fought for anything and only wanted to do one thing well often received even more of their parents' attention.Oscar was not their parent, but after Arthur's death, he had effectively stepped into that role.It was like an ordinary family where the parents had only finished elementary or middle school and worked tirelessly to put their child through college. Beyond that point, there was very little more they could actually do.All they could offer was a stable home, along with encouragement and support.Oscar had been exactly like that. He never handed the sisters success on a silver platter. Instead, he gave them a peaceful home where they never had to worry about anything beyond pursuing their own goals.Everything had always come easily to the sisters. Every opportunity seemed to fall perfectl

    Giana's words were even harsher than Diana's, and the faint joy on Hilda's face froze instantly.So much had happened today that her mind felt completely overwhelmed. It was as though she had lost the ability to think clearly.Now, as she recalled what everyone had been saying about Arthur, a cold sweat broke out across her body."How could this be? When they said he had compromised himself and gotten Amara killed, he didn't deny it..."Hilda stared at Giana in disbelief. "Amara... is dead too?"Giana waved her hand irritably. "I don't know!"When she wrote novels, she loved plotting every detail, revealing events piece by piece, and using each development to bring out her characters' personalities. She had always believed that was the proper way for a story to unfold and for human nature to be portrayed.But now she realized that real life could neither be planned nor controlled. Aside from writing novels, she was hopeless at everything else. There was nothing she could do.Ev

    The sisters sat together in Draconox's reception room.Christopher was not the only one who sensed something was wrong. The sisters had begun to feel it too.Just moments earlier, everyone had been calling for their heads, treating them like criminals of Draconox who deserved execution.Now they had become Draconox's most honored guests, seated in the reception room while people stopped by every so often to shower them with compliments.It was all polite small talk, but considering who these people were, the sisters still found the situation hard to believe."Dad has actually become some kind of world-saving hero..."Diana watched Arthur, who stood not far away discussing matters with Draconox's officials, and pressed her lips together.On the surface, everything seemed to be working in the sisters' favor now. So why did it all feel so wrong?"Beofre we found out Oscar was the Draconox Archon, we threw him out of the family. Then he retaliated against us, and we got kicked out

    They should have been wary of Arthur. Even if he had saved them, Christopher believed that caution should have remained. Even if they never voiced their doubts, they should not have been praising him with such wholehearted conviction.Even silence would have made more sense. Yet not a single person remained silent. Every one of them sang Arthur's praises.Arthur had saved them. Otherwise, with barely one-tenth of Draconox's leadership still alive, disaster would surely have followed.Christopher could sense that something was wrong, but he could not identify what it was. All he could do was remain silent and watch to see what Arthur was really after.Arthur waved a hand dismissively. "Oh, everyone, you flatter me! You can't take Caleb's words at face value. Who knows what was going through his mind when he said those things just before he died?"I don't deserve to be called a hero. I only did what I believed had to be done!"So, to verify whether Caleb's words were true, I have d

    "That little bastard," Bella snapped as soon as she stepped through the door. "He's gotten real bold."She tossed her umbrella onto the floor and dropped onto the sofa, her cheeks still tight with anger.Amara entered with a cup of coffee, stirring it in slow, steady circles.The other sisters dr

    "Miss Bella, you're here!"Unlike Oscar, the Chamberlain sisters lived in the spotlight. They made headlines almost daily. In Silverton, nearly everyone recognized them.Victor hurried to drag over a stool. He wiped it down with his sleeve and offered it to Bella.She glanced at it. Disgust flick

    Rain streamed down Oscar's face and soaked through his clothes, but he felt none of it.For years, he had given the Chamberlain family everything.Amara's Chamberlain Group would never have risen to the top of Silverton without him supplying her with intelligence day after day, placing winning str

    "Victor, we really have no money left!" George dropped to his knees. "We already repaid the 60,000 dollars we borrowed from you. Over the years, it was 6,000 here, 6,000 there. Now it's somehow 600,000? How are we supposed to come up with that?"He pressed his forehead to the floor. "Please. Leave
