She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart-Chapter 803: The Blade That Can Kill Even Souls (Part 1)
The words that were about to come out of Ragnar’s throat suddenly got stuck.
How could this be?
He had done so many things in private; how could there not be a trace?
What’s more, if he could really cover his tracks completely, Nameless would never have found so much evidence.
He couldn’t believe that Nameless could just make things up that perfectly matched the facts.
Just thinking about how all his small actions were seen so clearly by others, Ragnar felt a shiver of fear, and he finally lowered his usually high-held head: "Thank you, my lord, for your forgiveness."
He said this sentence with certainty and confidence.
If Nameless didn’t want to give him a break, this time he wouldn’t have just brought people to his house but would have directly sent him to the Hall of Penance for trial.
Sure enough, Elias rose silently from the sofa and walked out.
As Quinn passed by him, he paused, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Old Raines, since you’ve decided to step back, enjoy your retirement. Plant flowers, raise birds, or if that doesn’t work, follow others’ example, pamper a little star, or marry a young lovely wife. Whatever you do, don’t end up ruining your life’s dignity."
Afterwards, the next day, Ragnar found that his guards had changed. Although they still treated him with respect, they were no longer loyal.
They were all Nameless’s trusted followers.
He could only watch like a puppet as Elias resolved The Celestial Alliance’s crisis and publicly flaunted his love with Orion, leaving him feeling utterly powerless, no longer holding the assurance he once had. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Claire couldn’t understand the bitterness on Ragnar’s face. She paused, "Not the same? How is he different? Isn’t he still Nameless?"
Ragnar looked at his naive niece and patiently said, "Indeed, he is Nameless. But before, Nameless was all alone, so he didn’t care about trivial matters, nor who his fiancée was. But now he has someone he cares about, and with Nameless’s temperament, he will never allow you to harm Orion Rivers."
"Orion Rivers? Uncle, you’re saying Nameless cares for Orion? That’s simply a joke! If Nameless really cared about him, how could he get entangled with that little bitch? He even married her!"
Just thinking about Nameless announcing in front of everyone that he was married and acknowledging that bitch’s position as the Lord’s wife made Claire furious.
Why?
What did that bitch have that made Nameless look at her differently?
Ragnar sighed and said, "Whether for Orion or for that woman, they are not you, nor have they ever been for you. Clara, you’re so smart, you should know it’s time to let go."
"No!" Claire yelled, jumping up before Ragnar finished speaking, "I won’t let go, and I won’t give up! I... I’ve been his fiancée for so many years, and waited for him for so long. Now, the entire Umbral Zone knows I’m going to marry Nameless, become the Lady of the Dark Tower, and be the most honorable woman in the Umbral Zone. If he won’t marry me... if I can’t be the Lady of the Dark Tower, what will they say? They’ll laugh at me behind my back!"
Just the thought of the noblewomen she once bullied with her status gathering to laugh at her was unbearable for Claire.
"If that’s all you’re worried about, then there’s no need. Though Nameless is ruthless, he is not without a sense of nostalgia. As long as you behave yourself properly, given the Lowell Family’s grace towards him, he will surely treat you kindly, and you will still be the distinguished lady of the Dark Tower, equally esteemed in the Umbral Zone."
