Interest Compounds on Revenge (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 173
At Terren’s question, Lea hesitated but decided there was no longer any need to hide it.
After all, he wasn’t the kind of person who would dismiss her dream as absurd—he would actively support her instead.
“I need land near Lebon Station. To fulfill my final dream…”
“Your ‘final dream’—is it related to your business?”
“Yes. Terren, you already know what I truly wish for, don’t you?”
“I do.”
For her family to live together in harmony—that was all she wanted. Yet Terren knew there remained an unresolved knot deep within Lea.
It must be about restoring the Hamilton Trading Company to what it once was.
“Tell me. Grace’s dream is my dream as well.”
Terren gently cupped Lea’s cheek as he asked.
“I want to build a department store near Lebon Station.”
“A department store? What’s that?”
He tilted his head in confusion—it was a term he’d never heard before and sounded unfamiliar.
“It’s a single building housing every kind of shop—clothing, cosmetics, tableware, jewelry, food, furniture, artwork, even luxury goods—all under one roof.”
“Is that even possible?”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.

Cold female lead & dramatic black lotus with hidden yandere traits male lead
This is sounding less like a punishment and more like a privilege.
Sometimes this novel’s inability to reflect anything close to realism frustrates me. Let’s reward arson and attempted murder! (Can’t help but point out the lack of creativity with Mr. Baker’s name.)
