Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 121
“My lord Marquess is absolutely right.”
At Roman’s words, Windsor’s eyes remained calm, as if he had already anticipated this. Roman, having organized his thoughts in his mind, continued speaking at a slower pace than usual.
“There were several signs in that alley with no letters—only pictures: a rooster, a red fox, a black horse, things like that.”
Windsor nodded, as if urging him to go on.
“They are social clubs currently popular in the capital.”
“Social clubs.”
“Yes. Strictly speaking, they differ from the traditional aristocratic social clubs. You are aware, of course, that with the recent rise of new wealthy individuals, they’ve begun imitating noble customs?”
Windsor nodded once again. Roman added further explanation.
“Just as they host banquets and tea parties among themselves, they seem to have created social clubs modeled after those of the aristocracy. As you know, aristocratic social clubs are quite exclusive—it’s entirely different from merely receiving an invitation to a banquet. One can only join if all existing members agree.”
These social clubs were not simply gatherings for entertainment.
There, discussions on the most sensitive current issues—political, economic, and diplomatic—took place, and those discussions quickly translated into real political action, precisely because all members were prominent figures.
Thus, the influence wielded by these social clubs was formidable, giving them the feeling of being the aristocracy’s final bastion—one that newly risen nobles could not breach. Or perhaps, a sanctuary.
“No matter how favored a newly wealthy individual might be, they cannot join an aristocratic social club. So they began forming their own clubs, and now their number has grown exponentially. Moreover, the character of each club varies significantly depending on its members.”
Roman paused briefly here and rubbed his temples. The explanation was growing increasingly complex.
“For example, in businessmen’s social clubs, discussions revolve around current business matters. They exchange undisclosed information among themselves, thereby reinforcing their bonds.”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”

I must say, some chapters back, I complained that the author were unnecessarily sensual in their description of Windsor desire (considering this is not an NSFW work). But, now I’m more glad than ever lmaoo
