Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable의 모든 챕터: 챕터 731 - 챕터 740

That single sentence didn't just enrage Marvin. It left Joseph, his wife Melissa Bell, and Leon's stepmother, Clara, staring at him in disbelief."What did you just say?" Marvin's voice was thick with incredulity.His eyes remained fixed on Leon as though he were looking at someone who had lost his mind. "Do you have any idea who the Huttons are? Do you have any idea what kind of man Diana's grandfather is? Have you completely lost your head?"In the eyes of the outside world, the Kingstons carried considerable weight. By Brimcrest's standards, they ranked among the best. But compared to the Huttons, they were nowhere close.If Diana hadn't chosen Leon, he would have faced a far steeper battle to claim the inheritance in the first place.And now he was saying this. If even one member of the household staff overheard and let it slip, the Kingstons would make an enemy of the Huttons overnight.After all those years of support, this was how you repaid them. Who would ever stand with

Ever since learning that Penelope wasn't the real daughter, Sydney had not had a proper opportunity to ask about Vee. Now that the topic had come up naturally, she decided to follow it."She should be found soon," Diana said quietly.The words were right on the tip of her tongue.'You are Vee.' But Diana swallowed them back.Sydney nodded earnestly. "She will be. I'm sure of it."At those words, Florence's eyes softened and grew moist without warning. She excused herself from the table.After lunch, Sydney had just stepped outside when Diana called after her, "Sydney. Do you ever think about it? Whether your birth parents might still be out there looking for you?"Sydney turned, puzzled. "Diana, where is that coming from?"She had thought about it once, in an earlier chapter of her life. She had hoped she might find them someday. Now, that feeling had quietly faded. As long as she wasn't the child of someone who had caused harm, she no longer allowed herself to want much more t

Hugo watched Diana walk through the gate before turning back to the car. He didn't drive straight to the estate. Instead, he leaned back in the driver's seat and sent Diana a message.Hugo: [Hey, remember to eat the cake.]Her reply came almost immediately.Diana: [Eating it now. Are you home yet?]Hugo: [Not yet. Still on the road.]Diana: [Drive safe.]Hugo stared at those two words for a long moment before starting the car with a smile.…The lights were on throughout the old Kingston estate.Marvin looked up when Hugo walked in and set aside the newspaper he had been reading. "Did you sort out your brother's business?"Before Leon left, Marvin had asked Hugo to keep an eye on the situation and prevent the two families from falling out."It's done." Hugo sat down on the sofa. "They'll get the papers in 30 days."Marvin let out a heavy sigh, equal parts disappointment and frustration. "Your brother is hopeless. He let a marriage that good slip right through his fingers."

The hallway fell silent for several seconds.Tiffany froze for a moment before she finally understood what he meant.The Huttons had agreed to let her and Raymond be together. The words reached her ears as though some great favor had been granted.She lowered her gaze, and the faint curve of her lips disappeared. "Whether your family approves or not is your family's business."With that, she opened the door and stepped inside, leaving Raymond no chance to say anything else.…The next morning, the moment Tiffany arrived at the firm, she spotted a hot latte on her desk with a sticky note attached.[Hope the hearing goes well.]Tiffany crumpled the note into a ball, tossed it into the trash, and shoved the coffee into a corner to go cold."Miss Voss, you don't drink coffee?" Jimmy Vardy asked as he came in with a stack of files, clearly puzzled."You can have it."Jimmy smiled, set down the files, and, seeing that she was serious, happily carried the coffee away. "Thanks, Miss

The elevator lobby chimed, and the elevator doors slid open. Raymond and Julian stepped out."If you're paying, fine, but did it have to be at 9:00 p.m.?" Walking behind him, Julian checked his watch. "Sydney's still home waiting for me.""What's wrong with nine? You used to take meetings until dawn," Raymond argued."That was before. Things are different now," Julian shot back."Fine. We'll have a drink and leave."As they spoke, they rounded a corner. Ahead, a server carried drinks into a private room, and voices drifted through the open door."Tiffany, is it? If you don't drink this glass today, your firm can forget about getting any business from Ristar next year. I mean every word of that.""Mr. Chopard, I'll say it again. Please show some respect," Tiffany said coldly.Raymond's expression darkened. He strode past the server and pushed the door open. Julian raised an eyebrow but stayed outside.Inside, Raymond's sudden entrance drew every eye in the room.The moment Gio
