LOGINThe Gray family was one of the most affluent families in Imperia's elite circles. They were also the sort of family that placed great importance on family hierarchy regardless of age. Perhaps I was being biased because my father somehow had me at the ripe old age of 80. As a result, I became one of the highest-ranking members in the Gray family ever since I was born, despite my very young age. During my full-month celebration, a 60-year-old real estate tycoon cooed at me, waving a deed, "Aw, little great-aunt. Don't cry, and I'll give you three estates." A 50-year-old medical expert quickly slid on surgical gloves. "Stay away from our great-aunt! Don't suffocate the baby!" My entire family spoiled me rotten. And so, I still acted like a spoiled princess even though I was already 20 years old. One day, I was hit with a sudden whimsy of following the trend by going on blind dates… only to run into a massive mama's boy. I looked at the crabs and quietly asked, "Can you crack them for me?" He slammed the plate and barked, "You don't get to act spoiled here! My mother told me I should find a wife who can work! If you can't even crack crabs, then you can't possibly cook or clean for us!" The guy had speakerphone on, allowing his mother to chime in, "If she wants to latch on to our family, she needs to learn how to serve us!" My eyes turned teary as I opened up my family's group chat and sent a voice message, my voice sobbing. The entire Gray family heard me cry. "Some uggo wants me to marry him just to serve his family!"

"Mr. Gray."My father arched an eyebrow at him. He didn't seem surprised about the visit. "What brings you here, Yves?"Yves didn't waste time with small talk. He took an exquisite thermal box from his assistant and approached me. Then, he took off his expensive suit and rolled up his white sleeve. To everyone's shock, the powerful figure of Imperia took out a pink apron from his pocket and tied it around his waist."I heard she didn't get to have the crab she wanted." He opened the thermal box. Soon, cracked crabs appeared before my eyes, and they were still steaming. "I cracked these, and the temperature's just nice."He picked up a silver spoon and scooped a spoonful of crab meat. Then, he blew on it and fed me. "Say 'aah'."I was stunned, and so was my family. Jason's eyes went wide as he blurted,
The main hall was packed like sardines, and those sardines were all business tycoons or powerful politicians who only showed up on TV. Now, all of them were behaving like cats on hot bricks."Is her medicine ready yet? Make sure the temperature is perfect! We don't want her to scald her lips!""Put away that emerald set and change it to something lighter! Don't pressure her wrist!""Get that 3-star Michelin cooking squad! We must make a feast for our great-aunt!"I was lying on a soft chaise lounge made with expensive wood, a luxurious blanket covering me.Jonathan was holding the brew himself, feeding me sip by sip. "It's not hot, is it? Have a bit more."I took a sip and shook my head. "I don't want it anymore. It's so bitter."Jonathan put the brew down, a frown creasing his brows. "Alright, let's put this aside. Someone get me something sweet!"A servant promptly came over with some sweets. Jason strode in, looking a lot less angry than before. Instead, he had a look of a c
The bodyguards quickly stepped in and pulled the mother and son apart. Lina was now sporting a nosebleed, so her face was caked in blood. Honestly, she would've fit right in as a vengeful spirit in some B-class horror flick. Zach's face was littered with scratch marks, and his expensive suit was now in tatters.He was breathing heavily, and his venomous gaze was fixed on me. Suddenly, he let out a loud, maniacal cackle. "So what if you guys are the Grays?"Then, he tore away from the bodyguards with a sudden burst of strength and lunged at me like a rabid beast, dragging his limping leg with him. A sharp shard of glass sat tightly in his hands. "If I'm going to hell, I'm going to drag one of you down with me!"He was fast, and I was the only Gray closest to him when he attacked. My nephews yelled in shock. "Protect Jessica!"They didn't even need to move as the Grays' best guards leaped out of the shadows and appeared before me. One slammed their leg into Zach's chest, causing hi
Lina hadn't just offended me, but she'd offended my family, the Grays. We held power over most of the nation's economy. So, even the most powerful people in our nation had to respect us.Yet, she expected me, their princess, to do the dishes. As if that weren't enough, she even tried to take my bracelet."No, this can't be…" Lina muttered to herself, shaking her head violently as if that would change the truth.Zach couldn't believe his ears either. He looked at me and then at the kneeling Michael. He finally realized he had messed with the wrong faction. Fear coiled itself around his heart like a snake, making him forget all about his pain.Jason was looking at Michael coldly. "This is the partner you found? How quant."Michael shivered and shakily took his phone out. "I'll handle this right away, uncle!" He called the company right in front of us. "Cease all partnerships with Shaw Inc.! Cancel the contract and pay for the damages! And tell all the industry players to blacklist t
