All Chapters of Nine Ungrateful Sisters: Chapter 671 - Chapter 680

Rebecca had not let go of Oscar's arm since they left the hospital. She kept asking the entire ride home, "Bro, are you really okay?" What she did not know was that a tiny dragon, hidden beneath the sleeve on his other arm, was making one deeply unimpressed face after another.'Oh, brother, this is so sweet it hurts,' Freya thought. 'So this is what Oscar likes. Disgusting. A scheming little thing like her is never setting foot in our family home.'Freya simmered in silence. Not that it mattered. Even if she opened her mouth, all that came out was a series of bright little yips.And Celeste was sitting right there.To keep things simple, she settled for lightly dragging a claw along the side of Oscar's neck whenever Rebecca said something especially sugary.'Don't fall for it.'Celeste watched him closely. "Mr. Stone, are you certain your body can handle this? Some of the people coming to see you may be polite on the surface, but not all of them are straightforward."Oscar had

Back at the Miller villa, Oscar's condition had stabilized, but his mood had not. A quiet anger had settled in his chest during the drive home, and it still lingered.He carefully retraced his life, piece by piece. Arthur had been there at every significant turning point. He had never questioned it.Of course a father would be present for the moments that mattered. A father who missed them would have been the unusual one.But now, looking back, he saw something different. His entry into the Draconox Order, his rise to Archon, there had always been an unseen hand guiding events from behind the scenes.He had always assumed Arthur knew nothing about his role in Draconox. Even with everything Oscar had accomplished in Silverton, Draconox operated on a level far removed from ordinary lives.But there was no way Arthur had never heard of Draconox. Everything coming to light now suggested that Arthur's connection to it was anything but ordinary.Oscar replayed their conversations in hi

"Oh?" Oscar's interest immediately sharpened.The Dracobsidian Tokens were symbols of the Draconox Order's authority. But after he had exchanged them for the Dracaurum Token during his dealings with the Chamberlains, the old tokens had lost most of their practical value.They were dragon scales. They were undeniably durable, but like fish scales, they served primarily as protective coverings. In all the years since Draconox had come into existence, no one had discovered a use for them beyond the material itself.Yet someone had gone out of their way to steal them."Show me."Rebecca relaxed slightly and led him down the hall.He was just about to step through her doorway when a sharp pain pricked the side of his arm. He glanced down.The small dragon had sunk her claws into his skin. She gestured emphatically toward the room, then shook her head.Oscar scratched the back of his neck. 'What's wrong with going into Rebecca's room?'He watched the dragon's frantic gestures for an

Giana and Hilda walked out of the Draconia building feeling hollow.Rebecca's words had cast a dark shadow over the road ahead. Life had already been difficult enough, and now they had targets on their backs."What are we supposed to do now? The Draconia Group could make our lives in Silverton impossible without breaking a sweat," Hilda grumbled. "That Mr. Vaughn, though. Maybe he's someone we could..."Giana shot Hilda a look that cut her off immediately. "Have you forgotten how we lost the family villa? Amara trusted a man. She believed Stanley could rebuild the Chamberlain Group and bring it back to life. That's how we ended up here."Hilda wanted to argue.None of that had been Amara's fault. Oscar was the one responsible for losing the villa.But one look at Giana's expression kept the words from leaving her mouth.Giana had changed. She had carried that feeling with her for days.Back at the Chamberlain home, Giana had always been present without drawing attention to hers

"The last time we saw Oscar, he seemed fine. That was only a few days ago. How did he end up looking like this?"Giana's question drew the others closer around the phone.If the news article had not identified him by name, none of them would have recognized the man in the photograph."They're exaggerating it for clicks." Hilda wore a dismissive expression. "We used to pull stunts like that all the time. He probably saw public opinion turning against him and decided to make himself look pitiful. He's just fishing for sympathy."She paused. "Honestly, he deserves it. This is divine retribution."Giana ignored her and held the phone out to Diana. "Diana, you're a doctor. Can you tell what's wrong with him from the photograph?"Diana took the phone. She had been so preoccupied with Freya that she had barely noticed the image before.Now she studied it carefully. Her brow furrowed. "Hair loss. Skin discoloration. Premature aging. This looks like late-stage cancer."She hesitated. "B
