Paid To Care, Destined To Conquer Novel

Chapter 170 The clan elders would remember that day for the rest of their lives. Sebastian's face was ghostly pale, like a living demon in black: ruthless and cold-blooded. 37 E55 vouchers Behind him, the clan elders' loved ones were bowing, each with a knife pressed to their throat by a black-clad guard. Allan wheeled Sebastian into the family chapel. Sebastian had someone bring a metal barrel. Without a word, he started tossing old family Bibles and heirlooms into the flames, one by one, coughing blood between each throw as everyone watched in horror.

This was pure blasphemy, cold and terrifying. When one of the clan elders tried to intervene, Sebastian didn't even look his way. With a single wave of his hand, the ground behind him was instantly stained with blood. After that, no one dared to bring up kicking Lucas out of the Gray family ever again. "From now on, Annette is the only lady of the Gray family," Sebastian announced, his tone cold as ice. Anyone who dared to challenge this order was as good as dead.

The clan elder's tone turned submissive as he said, "Sebastian, let's talk this out!" Sebastian ignored him completely, just signaling John with his eyes. John yanked Richard over and forced him to bow in front of Stella. Once that was done, Sebastian finally looked up at the clan elder who'd spoken, his cold eyes utterly indifferent, as if he were staring at something already dead. He snickered, "Richard? Lauren?" Sebastian rolled his black prayer beads between his fingers, his whole demeanor dripping with mockery. He sneered, "What kind of power do they think you have?

And who exactly are they supposed to outshine?" Annette let out a cold laugh. She said, "Obviously, they want the Gray family's power and to beat me." She lifted her chin with effortless elegance, locking eyes with Sophia. Sophia's gaze darted around, her face full of guilt, and she instinctively ducked behind Carlos. Seeing that, Stella turned her head aside and let out a scornful laugh. She said, "All you know is how to play with these pathetic little schemes.

No wonder both your son and daughter turned out to be complete losers." Sophia, acting on impulse, blurted out, "Well, at least they're still alive!" The whole room went dead silent the moment she said that. Even Sebastian paused, his fingers frozen on the prayer beads. 15:29 Tue, Feb 3 Chapter 170 : Suddenly, Stella stepped away from Annette, her heels hitting the floor with a cold, sharp sound. "Lucas, close your eyes!" Stella ordered. Lucas didn't hesitate, covering his eyes with his little hands right away.

37 55 vouchers Stella smiled faintly, the black diamond snake hairpin in her hair catching the light with a cold glint. She stopped in front of Richard, hands folded behind her back, exuding the aura of a dark queen. For a moment, her eyes grew even darker, almost chilling. "You want to die? I can grant your wish," Stella said, her tone cold and merciless. As soon as the words left her lips, Richard seemed to lose all sense. With a blank stare, he got up and began slamming his head into the hospital corridor wall, over and over, until blood quickly stained the white surface.

Carlos's people were all stunned, watching Richard act as if he'd completely lost his mind. "No!" Sophia cried out, rushing over to Richard. But Richard shoved her aside, knocking her to the ground. With a twisted smile on his face, Richard slammed his head into the wall even harder. Broderick thought, 'It's been a long time since I've seen her show this side of herself. Guess she's really in a bad mood today!' With her hands clasped behind her back, Stella looked like a mischievous little demon, her smile never wavering.

She tilted her head, watching everything unfold with the wide-eyed innocence of a child. "What did you do to my son?!" Sophia screamed, lunging at Stella. But Stella calmly stepped aside, letting Sophia miss her completely and hit the floor hard. "Don't just stand there. Stop him!" Carlos barked urgently at his bodyguards. The bodyguards rushed to restrain Richard. Stella just smiled, whistling softly, her eyes cold and amused. Suddenly, Richard snapped, breaking free from their grip and smashing his head into the wall once more. His forehead was a mangled, bloody mess.

Sophia shrieked, "You demoness! Monster!" Stella glanced down at her, pressing her slender finger to her pale lips. She smiled. 15:29 Tue, Feb 3 Chapter 170 ... Broderick watched the whole thing unfold, utterly stunned. He thought, 'Unbelievable. Did she really just stop? 55 vouchers 'Back in the day, if anyone made her mad, she'd flip the whole place upside down; nobody would get off easy. Who would've thought she'd actually let it go this time? 'Is it because of Sebastian?' Sebastian didn't let go of Stella's hand, his big palm wrapping around her small one.

Maybe it was that soup Stella made for him this morning, but for once, his hand actually felt warm to the touch. Annette's eyes landed on their joined hands. After everything that just went down, the kind of thing nobody would believe without seeing it, she didn't look scared at all. If anything, she seemed more vibrant than ever. Looking at Sebastian, who'd always seemed so dead inside, Annette finally saw a spark of life in him again. "Come here, my sweetie," Annette said, breaking into a playful smile as she waved Stella over.

Stella thought, 'Is Annette seriously this happy right now?' Truth be told, she'd expected Annette to be scared. Stella hesitated for a second, then walked over to Annette. 田 AD Comment Send gift No Ads Editorial Board Editorial Board Our editorial team works behind the scenes to refine each chapter, maintain consistency, and deliver the best reading experience.
