All Chapters of The Reaper's Blind Date with Destiny: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

After parting ways with Lucy, Emory made his way to Lunar Ventures.Located in the heart of Goldspire City, Lunar Ventures occupied hundreds of acres and boasted a seventy-story office tower, a landmark in the city skyline.Standing outside the towering building was a middle-aged man in a crisp white suit, a Rolex glinting on his wrist. He waited with practiced politeness, posture straight, eyes scanning the entrance.As soon as he spotted Emory approaching, he stepped forward eagerly. "Mr. Emory Belen?""That's me," Emory replied with a nod."Please, come in. Master Robert has instructed us—starting today, you're the new Chairman of Lunar Ventures." The man's voice was respectful, almost reverent.He introduced himself as Bobby Cowell, then led Emory straight to the chairman's office and handed him a thick folder. "Mr. Emory, this contains information on all our current assets and projects under Lunar Ventures."He produced a business card next. "And from now on, I'll be your pe

"I'm so jealous of Alice. She's actually getting married at the Halstone Grand Hotel.""If that were me, I'd be over the moon.""Right? What woman wouldn't want to get married there? Oh, hey—Cora, when are you and Emory planning your wedding?"The question cut through the hum of chatter as several heads turned toward Cora."Me?" She hesitated for a second, then offered a polite smile. "I'll need to discuss it with my mom first.""Any idea where you'll hold it?"Before Cora could respond, Scarlet scoffed from across the table. "Where else could it be? Probably one of Goldspire City's cheapest motels. Let's be honest—Cora's family doesn't have any connections, and they're certainly not rolling in money. And Emory? He's a nobody from the mountains. What more can you expect? The Halstone Grand Hotel? Please. She's lucky if they even let her through the front door.""I don't need to get married at Halstone!" Cora said, lifting her chin. "A small motel is fine. As long as Emory shows u

"What? Cassidy is expecting Cora? That's impossible."Scarlet stared at the security guard in stunned disbelief. Her voice trembled with confusion, eyes wide as the words sank in.Cassidy? Of all people?She couldn't process it. The Caison family stood at the very top of the social ladder—untouchable, unimaginable. And Cora? She was nothing. Just an ordinary woman, barely scraping by. By all logic, the two should never have crossed paths.But right before her eyes, Cora was being ushered in like an honored guest, vanishing into the distance.Something snapped in Scarlet's mind. She blinked, then darted forward, calling out, "Wait!"A guard stepped in to block her path. "I'm sorry, miss. Crystal Baycourt isn't accepting guests today.""I'm her cousin!" Scarlet blurted, pointing at Cora's back. "We came together! Cora! Wait!"Cora stopped. She turned slightly, eyes flicking toward Scarlet.The guard hesitated, then stepped aside.Inside the grand courtyard, Scarlet caught up to

By the time Cora returned home, the sky was already dark.She didn't dare tell Emory or her mother what had happened that day. Quietly, she slipped into her room and cried alone.The next morning, Helen finally noticed her daughter's red, swollen eyes. She rushed over in concern."Cora, what happened to your eyes? Were you crying? Tell me—did that country bumpkin Emory bully you again? I've told you a hundred times, divorce him. You—""Mom, it's not about Emory."Cora paused. The bitterness in her chest had been building all night, and now she couldn't hold it in anymore. So she told her mother everything that had happened the day before.When Helen heard that Scarlet had stolen her daughter's credit for the partnership, her anger erupted like fire through dry grass."That wretched Scarlet! She's gone too far! That international music academy deal—half of it is your doing! She…"The more she spoke, the more furious she became. In the end, she grabbed Cora's hand. "Come on, Cora,

"Scarlet? Did you just say Aaron went to Sacholles to be Cassidy's sparring partner?"The moment Scarlet mentioned Aaron, Madeline's eyes reddened ever so slightly.Among all her children, Aaron had shown the greatest talent for mystic arts. At a young age, he had already reached the level of a sixth-grade practitioner.But it was all wasted.He died in Sacholles. To this day, no one knew the cause."That's right, Grandma," Scarlet nodded. "Cassidy told me that herself.""Did she mention how Aaron died?" Madeline asked again, her voice tight with grief."No," Scarlet said with regret. "She didn't."Hearing Scarlet's words, Cora felt a strange moment of clarity. Maybe... maybe Scarlet was right. Maybe Cassidy had chosen her to oversee the international music academy project purely out of sympathy.After all, if Emory really had powerful ties to the Caison family, why would he marry someone as ordinary as her?…After leaving the Madison residence, Cora brought Emory to Rose Vi
