Chapter 211: The Countess of Sheffield Won't Back Down

“Enough, stop crying!” The Earl of Sheffield, both frustrated by her tears and exasperated by the situation, waved his hand. “What’s the point of discussing this now? The engagement has already been set. Calling it off now would be a disgrace. Besides, Miranda is still young—if we endure this for a couple of years, perhaps His Majesty will lose interest, and this matter will be forgotten.” Despite these words, deep down, his dissatisfaction with Miranda as a daughter-in-law grew.  Even though this situation had arisen due to the Dowager Queen’s proposal and could not be blamed on Miranda, it was, after all, centered around her.  There was no doubt that Fulton—and by extension, the Sheffield family’s future—would be affected.  “It’s easy for you to say.” The Countess of Sheffield scoffed. “Men are always like this—the more they can’t have something, the more they desire it. Who’s to say the King won’t become even more fixated on Miranda precisel

Chapter 212

The visitor affirmed confidently, “There’s no mistake. Why else do you think our master insisted on having Young Master Andrew annul the engagement? Our young master is kind-hearted and worried that you and the Earl of Sheffield might not be aware of the truth, so he specifically sent me to inform you—lest you be deceived!” After exchanging a few more words, the Countess of Sheffield had the visitor sent away and hurried off to find the Earl. “Is this true?” The Earl of Sheffield rose abruptly, almost unable to believe it. “Of course it is! We absolutely cannot have this girl as a daughter-in-law! I doubt Lord Croyso is entirely unaware of this either. Otherwise, given his temperament, wouldn’t he have stormed over to the William family to demand an explanation? Instead, he quietly allowed them to annul the engagement without making a fuss!” The Countess had not expected such a stroke of luck—she had been wishing for a way out, and now it had been handed to her on a silver platt

Chapter 213: Captured on the Spot

Seeing the shock in the eyes of the newcomers, Captain chuckled indifferently. “Isn’t it all thanks to our boss’s kindness? Generous and fair, never stingy with wages or bonuses—otherwise, how could I afford this estate?”After unloading the truck into the warehouse, according to Jovanna’s rules, someone had to stay behind to guard the goods.“You two, you’ve been here before. This time, you’ll have to take one for the team and keep watch while the others enjoy themselves,” Captain said with a hearty laugh, clapping them on the shoulders and shooting them a meaningful glance. Seeing them nod in agreement, he grinned and led the rest toward the main hall.The two young men left behind exchanged a glance, their expressions bright with amusement. Everyone knew that guarding the goods came with generous perks!The wine was fine, the food exquisite, and beautiful maids performed songs and dances, filling the hall with a captivating atmosphere. The revelry quickly escalated, cups clinking a

Chapter 214: What Benefits Did They Promise You?

The men in black immediately carried out the order, not allowing those people to utter a word before binding them tightly. At this moment, the shop attendants who had been eating and drinking merrily inside the hall were also alerted and rushed out, only to be stunned at the sight of Miranda, the shop manager, and a circle of black-clad guards. Some of them, who were already aware of Jovanna’s counterfeit goods scandal, immediately understood what was happening. Frightened, they hurriedly knelt down and pleaded, “Miss, please have mercy! We truly had no idea that the captain… that he would betray Jovanna like this! We are innocent! We didn’t…” Thinking about how they had been indulging themselves while the captain took advantage of the distraction to swap the goods, and then recalling what others said about this keen and capable young miss, they were terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. “Oh?” Miranda’s voice betrayed no emotion. “And what exactly is your crime?” “We… we sh

Chapter 215: The Master behind Broad Loft

At this point, the delivery captain naturally understood that after the counterfeit goods incident was exposed, the young miss had already begun to suspect those responsible for procurement. She had simply bided her time, allowing them to lower their guard before catching them red-handed this time. Her composure and tactics were truly alarming. Trembling, he confessed, “The steward from Broad Loft promised that once the job was done, the mansion and all its furnishings and servants would be mine. Additionally, they promised to make me the deputy manager of their shop…” Miranda continued to swirl her tea calmly, her dark eyes fixed in contemplation. After a moment, she furrowed her brows and said, “Jovanna may be prosperous, but even if it were driven out of business, how much profit could Broad Loft really gain? Yet they went to such great lengths—offering so many beautiful women, a grand mansion, and even a managerial position. Such elaborate scheming… aren't they afraid it’ll all

Chapter 216

The Blackwell family, Prince Zachary, and the Queen?Miranda's heart sank—no wonder Broad Loft was so arrogant; with a background like that, it all made sense! Yet her expression remained skeptical as she said, “Don’t try to fool me with random names! Who are Prince Zachary and the Queen? Would they really concern themselves with a small shop like Broad Loft?”“Broad Loft may be small, but Caleb’s ambitions are grand. The street where Jovanna is located is the most prosperous district in the capital. Caleb wants to buy out every shop on that street and turn it into a hub exclusively selling silk threads and clothing, gradually monopolizing the entire silk and garment trade of the capital, driving other shops and brands out of business.”Miranda’s heart jolted. Others might not grasp the full significance of those words, but she understood perfectly well—because she had done the same thing in her past life while managing the Hans family business.Although they were not conducting busin

Chapter 217: Call off The Engagement

Lady Sheffield, however, wore a radiant smile. Uncharacteristically, she took Miranda’s hand and examined her closely, chuckling as she said, “I never realized before just how stunning Miss Miranda is. Look at that face, that figure, those hands—and the grace you carry yourself with. Such elegance is truly rare among the young ladies of the capital. I must have been blind to have overlooked it before! Even the Dowager Queen, with her discerning eye, is utterly fond of you—how could I possibly compare? Lord Croyso is truly blessed to have such a daughter!”Hearing this, both the Earl of Croyso and Miranda exchanged a glance of surprise.Lady Sheffield praising Miranda? Did the sun rise from the west today?There’s always something suspicious about unusual kindness. Miranda grew wary but maintained her smile as she gracefully curtsied and replied, “You flatter me, madam.”“No, no! I speak nothing but the truth—every word is sincere!” The thought of soon being able to dissolve Miranda’s

Chapter 218: Earl Croyso's Smoldering Rage

"Rest assured, even though the engagement between Fulton and Miss Miranda fell through, the marriage alliance between our two families still stands. We can switch to Miss Selena instead. But I must say, Lord Croyso, I’m particularly fond of your niece, Miss Rose. Let’s settle the engagement with your niece as the future daughter-in-law of the Sheffield family! My husband values old friendships and has always cherished the bond with you, Lord Croyso. We truly wish to strengthen this connection through marriage. Once Miss Rose joins our family, I will treat her as my own daughter and ensure she is never mistreated!" Lady Sheffield prattled on without the slightest regard for the dark expression on Earl Croyso’s face.Miranda, however, after the initial shock, gradually regained her composure. Her expression grew calm as she quietly observed Lady Sheffield.For some reason, meeting Miranda’s gaze sent a jolt through Lady Sheffield’s heart. The lengthy speech she had planned suddenly stuc

Chapter 219: Breaking All Pretenses

Earl Croyso fixed his gaze on Rose. "Rose, what do you say?"Rose's heart pounded violently. As a member of the Croyso family’s collateral branch, marrying into the Sheffield family as the future mistress would secure her future and elevate her status overnight. When Lady Sheffield had hinted at the possibility before, it had seemed as distant and unattainable as clouds in the sky. But now, the temptation stood vividly before her—her uncle was a man of his word, never one to make empty promises.Lowering her head, Rose’s lips trembled slightly, and her eyes flickered with conflicting emotions, as if she were engaged in a fierce internal struggle.Lady Sheffield, however, smiled smugly. A girl with no favor or standing—how could she refuse such a marriage? At least the Croyso family knew how to show proper respect. Treat me well, and I’ll return the favor. Since that was the case, there was no need to expose Miranda’s matter and cause further trouble.Earl Croyso said nothing, simply w

Chapter 220: A Slap

"Oh? I'd love to hear what you have to say!" Earl Croyso roared. "I refuse to believe that anyone could find fault with my Miranda! I won't waste words with an ignorant woman like you—call your husband here! I'll speak only to him!""Father, why call Lord Sheffield over again? If he was unwilling, how could Lady Sheffield have come to the Croyso estate?" Miranda finally spoke, her cold gaze fixed on Lady Sheffield, her voice as chilling as ice. "Do you still not understand? They’re afraid that I'll drag the Sheffield family down, afraid that the King and the Queen Dowager will make things difficult for them and harm their prospects. That’s why they’re in such a hurry to break off the engagement! Who would have thought—just one remark from the Queen Dowager at the birthday banquet was enough to scare the Sheffield family into such a state?"Recalling the recent rumors he had heard, Earl Croyso suddenly understood, and his fury erupted.There had been talk circulating that the Sheffield
