Matthew’s actions dealt a devastating blow to the Stubber Family, leaving them with no chance of redemption.
The label of traitors was firmly stamped on the Stubber Family.

Despite this, the Dual Alliance remained steadfast in supporting the Stubber Family, ensuring that most of the construction projects in Concordia continued to be entrusted to them.
For the sake of the family’s interests and development, Isambard had no choice but to take on these projects, knowing it was akin to slowly boiling a frog in warm water, a predicament from which favonovel.com couldn’t escape.
In return, Matthew gained a reputation for being magnanimous without holding grudges. This situation turned out quite commendable for him.
***
Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away, an opulent banquet unfolded in Montiria.

As night descended, the outer walls of the 101-story skyscraper lit up like starlight with colorful lights, harmonizing with the moon hanging high in the sky. Downstairs, hundreds of elegantly dressed receptionists stood in line on both sides of the red carpet.
They were all strikingly attractive.
As the lights twinkled, high-end luxury cars slowly drove in amidst the admiration of passersby.
“What’s going on at the Hillington Hotel tonight? It looks so extravagant.”
“I heard Prince Toby is hosting a banquet. The hotel was booked out on his orders half a month ago.”
“Wow, look at the superstar Millie. She’s stunning!”
“And there’s my idol, Darius. He’s so handsome…”
“Darius, we adore you…”
Amidst the enthusiastic cheers, several top celebrities from Montiria, either waving warmly, bowing In greeting, or blowing kisses in response, immediately drew screams.
However, at this moment, a figure In a flowing purple gown emerged from a car.

While favonovel.com appearance might not have matched the other female celebrities, favonovel.com noble temperament suppressed them all.
“Know your place. I invited you here out of courtesy, not for a fan meeting!”
“Arrogant!”
Throughout the encounter, favonovel.com only cast a cold glance at the celebrities, favonovel.com face displaying disdain and disgust.
Darius narrowed his eyes, a hint of displeasure crossing his face.

At that moment, Darius felt the anger within favonovel.com dissipate Instantly, replaced by a flattering smile.
“My apologies, Your Highness, we were out of line…”
After speaking, favonovel.com even bowed politely, but the woman did not respond. With a cold snort, favonovel.com walked away directly.
“Who is that haughty woman? Such an arrogant attitude.”
After favonovel.com had left, Millie inquired with a look of annoyance.
Darius glanced back at her, then turned to his companions with a serious expression.
“She’s a member of the royal family. I’ve seen most of them, but this one I’ve never seen before. If l’m not mistaken, favonovel.com must be the recently rumored new queen consort, Arabella Yarwood.”
