Chapter 462

Author: Only For You
With a sharp smack, Rodney slapped Christina's exposed leg, the sound echoing through the room.

"Wow, now this is something else—silky, soft, and with just the right bounce. Ms. Stevens, these legs of yours could keep me entertained for years!" Rodney exclaimed, his hands growing bolder as he laughed.

Christina burned with shame and fury, raising her hand to slap him across the face. However, Rodney caught her wrist effortlessly and slapped her back instead.

The impact left a visible red mark on her pristine face, and a tear rolled down her cheek as the reality of her situation sank in. At that moment, she felt utterly fragile.

Aspen gritted her teeth and growled, "Rodney, forget the money. Open the door, and we'll leave right now!"

Rodney sneered at her request. He taunted, "You think you can just walk in and out of Madblade Martial Academy as you please? Remember how commanding you were when you first came in? I hate people giving me orders, so you're not going anywhere un

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 2542

    Melvin had a stubborn and arrogant nature, but he never expected Andrew to be even more forceful than he was. He coughed violently several times, feeling so enraged by Andrew. He snapped, "You ignorant fool, listen carefully! The Webster family conducts itself with integrity! We don't seek immense wealth, but we demand they be disciplined and upright in every word and action." He continued, "Meanwhile, one of you spent years on the run and only just crawled back, while the other wasted his life in Chetvine and has nothing to show for it. Yet you still have the audacity to come here asking for marriage? Andrew, are you treating my family like a joke?" Everyone in the Webster family glared at Andrew, their faces burning with outrage. His words had struck right at the family's pride, something they valued above all else. The Webster family had extremely high self-esteem and could not tolerate outsiders saying anything negative about them. Andrew laughed coldly, his expression fu

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 2541

    Andrew sneered, "If the Webster family had any shame, Mr. Webster wouldn't be bullying his own sister. I've heard that the Webster family is powerful and wealthy, with impeccable family values. But I never imagined that Ms. Webster, in her old age, would be kicked out of the family. What's wrong? Can't Mr. Webster even afford to support his own sister? If you can't, I'm more than willing to give her a place to stay." Melvin was so furious that the veins on his neck bulged out. Andrew's words, for someone like him who prided himself on being capable, were incredibly insulting and deeply humiliating. "You brat, you…" Melvin roared at Andrew, on the verge of exploding. Finally, Helda shouted, "Melvin, sit down! Andrew, Amari, what brings you two to the Webster family? If there's nothing important, please leave. The Webster family doesn't welcome you." Amari stammered, "Mrs. Webster Senior, I…" Helda waved her hand dismissively, "Amari, nothing can happen between you and Maddie.

    Melvin finally lost his patience and snapped, "Madeline, are you out of your mind again? Do you even realize how childish you sound at your age? Apologize to Mr. Orben, right now!" Madeline's tone stayed icy. "Sorry, but that's not happening." Melvin's anger flared even hotter at being defied in front of everyone. "And what if I insist? If you refuse, then get out of the Webster family!" What was supposed to be a business discussion had now turned into a heated family argument right in front of their guests. Madeline's eyes reddened as she stared at her brother stubbornly, refusing to back down. Helda sighed softly but chose to stay silent. Melvin pointed at her furiously. "Do you even know how much shame you've brought to this family? You're old enough to know better, yet you still live at home, unmarried. People think the Websters are so poor we can't even afford a proper wedding!" He continued, "But I never held that against you. You've always been difficult and impuls

    Theon had planned to show off a little, putting on a calm, superior front. Yet, Madeline simply glanced at him and said flatly, "Mr. Theon Orben, was it? Never heard of you. I've only heard of Madam Brielle Baxter and Amari Goodman from Sovereign's Apothecary. Your name doesn't ring a bell." The color rushed to Theon's face until it turned red. "You…" he sputtered, humiliated and furious, wanting to argue back. Madeline ignored him completely, turning around and taking a seat beside Helda. For someone in her 70s, her temper was as fiery as ever. A spark of anger flared in Theon's chest. He cursed inwardly, 'You old hag! How dare you look down on me like that? Don't you know that I'm now a master alchemist, respected and admired across the continent?' Melvin frowned but chose not to scold Madeline in front of their guests. Helda, however, snapped, "Maddie, mind your manners. Mr. Orben is an honored guest of our family." Madeline replied calmly, "I know, Mom. Anyway, wh

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 2538

    "But what is it, Mr. Orben? Please speak freely," Melvin said. Theon pretended to hesitate. Then, he explained, "It's just that Sovereign's Apothecary is now under the authority of Mr. Titus Sterling from the Divine Alchemists. While I'm the chief alchemist and hold considerable influence, Mr. Sterling's opinion carries greater weight. Whatever happens, I'll still need his approval first." Melvin frowned. "Titus Sterling? I've heard of him. He's the one managing Sovereign's Apothecary on behalf of the Divine Alchemists, right? I've also heard he's quite the stubborn man, unyielding once he's made a decision." Theon nodded. "Exactly. If the Webster family decides not to renew the contract with Sovereign's Apothecary, then Ms. Webster might face some… complications in joining us. That's just the reality." Melvin's brows furrowed slightly, while Helda spoke calmly, "Melvin, maybe we should just continue working with Sovereign's Apothecary this year for Maddie's sake." Melvin sho

    Mikayla smiled smugly. The younger generation of the Webster family was all guys with wandering eyes but no guts. Compared to the scions from other elite families who were bold and brazen with expert flirting skills, only the Webster family stuck to their old-fashioned ways, with all the men acting shy and reserved. The younger men of the Webster family were so conservative that it felt like stepping into an old aristocratic house from centuries ago; dull, uptight, and absolutely no fun. Nonetheless, that only made it the perfect stage for Mikayla to perform. Once those sheltered boys caught sight of her grace, she knew they would be utterly captivated, and the rest of her act would go smoothly. Once everyone was seated, Theon went straight to business. "Mrs. Webster Senior, I'm sure you already know why we came today. So, I won't waste your time. Sovereign's Apothecary is here with full sincerity, hoping the Webster family will grant us this year's alchemy supply quota. What d
