Chapter 139 The Secret of Blood and Choice “What do you mean, Madam? How can I become your daughter?” Roxana exclaimed, eyes wide with disbelief. Trisha smiled faintly. “Why? Do you resent me that much?” “No, it’s not that,” Roxana said quickly. “It just doesn’t make sense. Miss Harriet is your blood relative — how could I possibly take her place?” Trisha turned to Harriet with a curious smile. “And what do you think, Harriet?” Harriet shook her head…-

Chapter 138 The Countess’s Hidden Daughter “Mr. Joseph! What are you doing here? I told you it’s dangerous for us to meet like this!” “Mrs. Marshall! It’s almost done. The job is finished.” At those words, Mrs. Lauren Marshall’s face lit up with excitement. But the man standing in front of her — Dr. Joseph Alden — looked anything but calm. His face was tight with anxiety. “About ten minutes ago, a maid from the Pellon estate came with a big man to fetch me,” he…

Chapter 137 The Unapproved Drug Benjamin took another document from his bag and spread it out before Cedric. “I checked with the Imperial Health Bureau about this medicine,” he explained, “but no record of it exists — not even anything similar. So, I looked into the list of drugs that were rejected for approval.” Running his finger along the text, he read aloud: “Approval for this medication is denied due to insufficient verification of serious side effects, including…

Chapter 136 The Forbidden Medicine Bella sighed softly and shook her head, smiling with a careless ease. “You really don’t make it easy, do you?” It didn’t sound like she was upset about Cedric dodging her questions. If anything, she looked amused—like she’d never expected real answers in the first place. “It’s a bit of a shock, honestly. My charms usually work on everyone. This is the first time they haven’t.” “I’m not sure if what you just tried counts as…

Chapter 135 The Game Begins “Lady Listerwell! You can’t possibly understand how I feel right now. My childhood dream… it’s finally starting to come true! You’re my savior!” Harriet smiled awkwardly. “Nothing’s happened yet. It’s too early to call me that.” “No, it’s true! I’ve been up all night revising this plan. For the first time, I actually believe I can make this happen. The only thing stopping me was money.” He wasn’t exaggerating. Even a small ship…

Chapter 134 Hidden Deals and New Plans In public, the Cheslow Count and Countess spoke proudly about welcoming the beautiful and graceful Bella as their future daughter-in-law. But the truth behind the polite smiles was very different. They were deeply disappointed in their son. He had broken a long-standing engagement and chosen a woman from a family of lower rank. Since they couldn’t change his stubborn mind, they reluctantly gave permission for the marriage — but their eyes always…

Chapter 133 Anghelic Temptation “Phew…” A puff of white smoke drifted through the dim bedroom like a ghost. Albert exhaled slowly, the scent of tobacco mixing with the heavy air. “I think we need to increase Anghelic production,” he said lazily. “The sales at the yacht parties are going up every week.” He turned his head slightly toward the woman lying beside him. “Tell the pharmacist in Firma that I want to raise the import of Darsenger by twenty…

Chapter 132 The Suspicion “Lady Pellon, I didn’t get the chance to greet you properly earlier. How are you feeling these days?” It was Cedric, who had quietly walked over. Harriet felt a strange, small disappointment when she realized he wasn’t calling her. She quickly scolded herself for even thinking that way. “I’m feeling much better, thank you. Though I should probably thank you as well, Duke Kailas.” “Me? I don’t think I’ve done anything worthy of your…

Chapter 131 Spring Tea Party Jeremiah’s spring tea party was like a celebration of flowers — colorful, fragrant, and full of life. The Duke’s garden bloomed with late-spring and early-summer flowers, each showing off its brightest colors under the warm sunlight. But the most dazzling flower there was Jeremiah Kailas herself. She was still as bright, beautiful, and social as she had been when she was known as the beloved youngest princess. “It’s been a while. Have you been…

~Chapter 130~ Harriet didn’t give Tez a chance to make excuses and immediately continued speaking. “You’ll have to stake your honor on this. If I sue them, you’ll also have to testify, and your friends will have to reevaluate someone named Tez Roark, won’t they?” “Please don’t, Harriet.” “I’d prefer it if you added ‘Sir’ after my name. I’m not your friend.” Tez rubbed his face with both hands, looking embarrassed, and began to make excuses. “I didn’t…
