Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 130
The Earl of Knox’s face grew even redder. His voice steadily rose. Finally, he could no longer contain his anger.
“What exactly do you mean by that? Are you implying I’ve been deceiving everyone here with plausible-sounding words? Absolutely not! At the very least, I know far more about business than you do, my lord!”
“Of course, that must be true.”
Windsor nodded as if in agreement. He continued calmly, his composure standing out even more starkly against the Earl of Knox’s flushed agitation.
“It must surely be my misunderstanding that this business venture appears intended to build the fastest road network connecting Westend’s port directly to the capital. It must also be an extraordinary coincidence that Lord Knox happens to be the lord of Westend, and that Lord Knox wishes to develop Westend’s harbor into the kingdom’s premier trading port.”
“…….”
The meeting hall sank into deep silence. Everyone had known it, yet no one had voiced it—until now, spoken plainly by Windsor.
Those friendly with the Earl of Knox coughed awkwardly and looked away, while those with no ties to him wore subtly satisfied expressions. They had long disapproved of the Earl of Knox quietly exploiting the government’s railway project for his own benefit.
At that moment, Windsor slowly stood up. All eyes followed him. The Earl of Knox glared at him with burning eyes.
“Therefore, Lord Knox, you’d do well to consider another route. Ah.”
As if suddenly remembering something, Windsor added languidly, gazing indifferently at the Earl of Knox, who was trembling with rage.
“That isn’t advice. How could a marquess lacking both history and tradition dare offer Lord Knox any advice? As Lord Knox himself said, this is precisely why bastards shouldn’t inherit noble houses. Unfortunately for you, I am currently head of the Preston family—so what can be done?”
“!”
The Earl of Knox’s expression hardened. He had just recalled the harsh words he’d hurled at Windsor earlier. It was already too late to regret his outburst, no matter how much he might now wish to take it back.
Spoken words couldn’t be retrieved, and Windsor remembered every single syllable.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
