Myles Storey was the supreme Divine King who concealed his identity to marry into the Wright family. He had been secretly assisting his wife in expanding her company over the years. However, once the company grew successful, he faced contempt from his wife and her family. After divorcing, he married a wealthy heiress. Consumed by jealousy, his ex-wife attempted to curry favor with the Divine King to save herself from humiliation. She offered herself as a gift to him, only to be shocked when she discovered that the Divine King was none other than the ex-husband she once looked down on.
View MoreRemi sneered, "Go ahead and tattle on me—if you can actually meet the Divine King, that is.""You…" Ingrid pointed her finger at Remi, gritting her teeth in anger. She wanted to lash out but was held back by Luna.The conference was already in chaos, and since the Divine King had not shown up, it seemed unlikely that he would make an appearance today.Without the Divine King to back them up, they could not afford to offend the heiress of the Reyes family.Remi wrapped her arm around Myles and looked at Luna as she said, "Anything you can offer Myles, I can give him too—whether it's wealth, beauty, or even a position of great power that you can't provide."As Remi finished speaking, she clapped her hands. Then, a group of women in matching uniforms entered the room, each carrying a tray filled with various items."Here are the gifts for you, Mr. Storey. Ten thousand blocks of gold, a luxury mansion at Tapis Riviera, a pair of emerald pendants, a black card with a ten-billion-dolla
Callum immediately flew into a rage. "So what if you're beautiful? You publicly insulted us as clowns. Do you know the consequences of that?"Remi scoffed dismissively. "I'm simply stating the truth. To me, you all really are nothing but clowns.""You…" Callum was about to argue back when Remi's bodyguard and assistant stepped forward. They said, "Listen up, all of you! Our lady is the heiress of the Reyes family from Divinopolis. Before you speak, you'd better think carefully about what it means to cross the Reyes family!""What? The Reyes family from Divinopolis!""The Reyes family's heiress!"Everyone was stunned once again."Gosh, she's actually the eldest daughter of the Reyes family from Divinopolis! That's a truly top-tier family!""That's right, the Reyes family is one of the top ten families in Kiridan, with businesses spanning dozens of countries. Even if all the families in Jonesburg banded together, they wouldn't come close.""But how could the eldest daughter of th
The newcomer was Remi, the heiress of the Reyes family from Divinopolis. She was accompanied by a woman who appeared to be her assistant.Even though she was just an assistant, her appearance was graceful and her demeanor was exceptional, rivaling the elegance of the prominent ladies present.Without paying attention to anyone else, Remi walked straight to Myles. Everyone was momentarily stunned, overwhelmed by her powerful display, which inspired both awe and intimidation."Mr. Storey, we meet again. You must remember our agreement. If you unveil my veil today, I'll be yours," Remi said with confidence.The crowd was taken aback. To unveil her veil and have such a woman as his own seemed like an effortless prize.Myles stood up, staring at the woman before him. He hesitated for a moment. After all, he had no idea what she looked like beneath the veil."If you choose not to unveil my veil, I won't force you. The engagement can be annulled," Remi stated plainly.Myles replied, "T
Everyone immediately understood the situation.Myles sneered, "Luna, when they were all planning to cut off my livelihood together, I didn't see you pleading for me."A hint of shame flashed across Luna's face."Myles, I don't know what means you used to get Ms. Schmidt to back you, but don't forget, you're just a lowly driver for Divine King Group. You've offended all the powerful figures here. Have you thought about the consequences?""What?! He's just a driver?""Wow, I thought he knew some of the higher-ups in Divine King Group, but it turns out he's just a driver.""Everyone, get up," someone said, and the rest followed suit. They felt emboldened after learning the truth.Callum looked at Maddox and said, "Mr. Schmidt, you should call your daughter here. She has taken down so many families at once. She needs to give us an explanation.""That's right! She may be the CEO of Divine King Group's branch, but she's just managing a branch. To wipe out so many families at once, ho
With Luna siding with them, Callum, Ben, and the others felt even more confident. After all, Maddox and the Divine King were on entirely different levels."You fools, don't you see that Mr. Storey is…" Maddox began, fuming, but Myles raised his hand to stop him from revealing his identity.Myles stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "I gave you all a chance, but you failed to appreciate it. Since that's the case, just wait for the feeling of fear that's about to descend upon you.""Selena, you have ten minutes. Remove all these families from the records!" Myles ordered."Understood," Selena replied before promptly making calls to handle the matter.Meanwhile, the others burst into laughter."Did you hear what he just said? He claims he's going to wipe out all our families in ten minutes! That's the best joke I've heard in my life.""I think this guy's gone mad. There are so many of us. We aren't just going to be eliminated on a whim. Not even Mr. Schmidt has that power, so how
Callum immediately dropped his smile, his tone turning angry. "Mr. Storey, I respect that you can make Mr. Schmidt treat you with such deference, but asking all the top-tier families here to cut off their own paths is just going too far.""That's right. Out of respect for Mr. Schmidt, we're willing to apologize and even part with half of our fortunes if needed, but cutting off our own paths is out of the question," Ben scoffed."How dare you!" Maddox rebuked them sharply.Ben responded, "Mr. Schmidt, you're a pillar of Jonesburg, respected by all. Out of respect for you, we're willing to apologize and make amends, even give up half our assets. But his demand for us to sever our own paths is simply too much.""The head of the Smith family is right—this demand is excessive.""Indeed, this condition is unacceptable," others echoed.Myles sneered, "If you refuse to cut off your own paths, then your families have no reason to continue existing."Ben chuckled darkly. "You sure talk bi
"Understood."Maddox turned to Lance and said, "You heard Mr. Storey. From now on, the Alaister family is banished from Jonesburg!"Lance collapsed to the ground, his face drained of color. He immediately knelt and pleaded, "Mr. Schmidt, please show us mercy. You can deal with my unworthy son as you see fit; all I ask is that you spare the Alaister family."Meanwhile, Pierce was paralyzed with fear. He never imagined that the man he saw as a worthless son-in-law could bring his entire family to ruin with just one sentence."Begging me won't help," Maddox said, his tone filled with hidden meaning.Lance immediately understood and turned to Myles, pleading, "Mr. Storey, it was my son who disrespected you. I'll expel him from the family and leave him at your mercy."Also, since I was late, I'm willing to donate half of my fortune to aid impoverished families. I beg you to show us leniency and spare the Alaister family.""Your son tried to cut off my livelihood, and I'm merely respo
Even so, the sight of Maddox kneeling on one knee left everyone in the room stunned. Their widened eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.Maddox was the wealthiest man in Jonesburg and a figure of immense influence. Yet, he was actually kneeling to a man they thought was a worthless ex-son-in-law. What was going on?No one was more stunned than Luna's family and Pierce's group."Mr. Schmidt, you must be mistaken! He's just a worthless ex-son-in-law. Why are you kneeling to him and greeting him so respectfully?" Ingrid asked, confused."Shut up!" Maddox roared, stepping forward and slapping her across the face. He coldly warned, "If you dare show any disrespect to Mr. Storey again, don't blame me for what happens to you next!"Ingrid turned pale with fear, and the others were similarly terrified into silence."Mr. Storey, I apologize for my late arrival," Maddox said, lowering his head in apology.Myles smiled and shook his head. "If you hadn't been late, I wouldn't have witn
Callum quickly chimed in, "Mr. Pierce is absolutely right! This annoying fly is utterly insufferable. He's arrogant and disrespectful, and he doesn't even acknowledge us—let alone you, Mr. Schmidt. He acts like we don't exist!"Ben Smith, the head of the Smith family, added, "This fly's offenses go beyond mere arrogance. He dares to overstep his bounds by sitting on the throne meant for the Divine King. Such audacity is unforgivable!"Hearing this, Maddox clenched his teeth, his face turning ashen with rage. He could hardly believe that these people were bold enough to disrespect the hierarchy and humiliate the Divine King in such a manner.Pierce, still oblivious to the real cause of Maddox's anger, mistook Maddox's expression as fury directed at Myles."Mr. Schmidt, please don't be upset. It's our fault for letting this fly slip through. We'll throw him out immediately. By the way, did my father not come with you?" Pierce asked.Maddox responded with a cold smile, "If your fathe
