All Chapters of The Tenth Monarch: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Seemingly noticing that she had been too harsh, Luna turned towards Josie, shaking her head. "I think I got a little excited—don't take it to heart. You know how much pressure I'm feeling, don't you?""And then there's Ted York who's causing me a real headache, and my own family is such a handful too. I'm really worn out, Josie… I'm really hoping you could help me. You're the one I trust most in this company… perhaps even in all of Melville."Josie composed the murmurs in her heart, watching the earnest look on Luna's face without feeling a single shred of emotion.All she felt towards Luna was contempt, though she maintained the appearance of being awash with gratitude."I know, Luna—don't worry, it will all soon be over," she told Luna. "You've already divorced Ted York, and now you just have to iron out the minor issues. As for your family… Well, they are closest to you, and they won't really try to hurt you, right? To put it bluntly, all the riches you enjoy now are from you, s

The strict standards for Adam White's eighteenth birthday ensured an exclusive event, with entry only for invited guests.Luna was confident Adam would definitely send her an invitation, but it wasn't coming, and she was growing restless.Hearing that, Josie quickly said, "I've made queries, and the White family said that they have sent it, and we'd receive it by today."Luna's face lit up with delight—the fact that the White family sent it meant they were invited, and her anxiety melted away.However, she soon developed a scowl when she heard Josie say, "However, I heard that the invitation is for you and Ted York. I'm afraid they don't know about your divorce."It was only natural—Luna had only gotten divorced yesterday, and with no announcements, no one would know.It wasn't that she didn't want to announce it—she'd rather surprise Jimmy Cash in person, and besides, divorce wasn't anything to brag about.If the divorce got ugly and became public knowledge, the White family mi

Having stood for a century, the White family was naturally as rich as it was powerful.However, what was unseen mattered to them even more than what was apparent. For example, the connections that Adam spent decades cultivating could be considered an unseen form of wealth.Looking Samuel straight in the eye, Adam said, "Actually, I have a really bad feeling about this banquet, and a hunch tells me conflict will arise… However, any problem can be resolved. Remember, we are family, and family shouldn't undermine the interests of another family member—always keep that in mind."There are those whom you can clearly read from first glance. And be it you, Yuvan, or any other member of the White family, no one is going to make enemies for no reason—or cause a blood feud. I am sure of that…"So, it must be said that there are those whom you think you can read from first glance, but are anything but what they appear to be. These people are the ones whom our family must receive with the utmo

Adam wasn't at all surprised to see how shocked Samuel was—his grandson notwithstanding, he'd been equally astounded when he met 'Ted York'.Even if it had been ten years since they first met—even if their actual first meeting had been brief, the face of that prodigious heir to the White family who once shook the imperial capital was unforgettable."They are indeed one and the same," he said as he smiled at Samuel. "I had my suspicions when we first met, and this painting only confirms it beyond any uncertainty. "His appearance has certainly changed considerably, and he didn't carry himself like that mild-mannered child from Bastion. But no one can imitate that presence of his that seemed to resonate from his very bones."So, do you understand why I'm making you look at this painting again?"Samuel nodded repeatedly, still in shock.He and Yuvan were quite famous amongst the rich and privileged of Eastport, even Easton—not as mere rich kids, but with accomplishments their family

After some thought, Samuel looked up at Adam. "Don't worry, grandpa. I know what to do… but I do have a question. "Back when you instructed us to assist Master York's wife in secret, Jimmy Cash was doing the same. Is it possible that he and his family know too?"Lunacorp's rapid development over the past few years was all thanks to Jimmy Cash and the White family's help. However, as the White family's assistance came slightly later than the Cash family's, it appeared that their contribution was more of a favor to the Cash family.And now that Samuel knew Ted's true identity, he couldn't help but have questions.Adam chuckled and nodded in turn. "I'm sure the head of the Cash family knows, but not necessarily Jimmy. Like Yuvan, he was most likely told to be nice to Master York but nothing more than that… I'm quite sure about it."Samuel chuckled at his grandfather's words, "Then I definitely got lucky… By the way, should I send a separate invitation, or personally invite Master Yo
