“Uh, okay! Okay…” L wiped the sweat from his forehead and shrunk back in front of the powerful goddess CEO.


    He had sold himself to her, so he had to listen to whatever she said…


    “Hmph! That’s more like it. And you better not get too close with other women now that you’re my husband on paper. It wouldn’t be good for me or my family’s reputation. Who’s jealous?” Miranda sneered arrogantly.


    “Okay, I understand,” L nodded sheepishly.


    “Auntie, if you don’t like my Daddy, why did you marry him?” Nora asked innocently with her face upturned.


    “I… I just don’t like him right now. Maybe I’ll grow to like himter,” Miranda hesitated a bit before answering.


    Should she tell naive little Nora that this was just a transaction? She didn’t know why but deep down inside, she didn’t want to say it out loud.


    “Oh okay then. You better start liking my Daddy soon though or he’ll have another wife again,” Nora giggled.


    Nora blinked her big eyes and urged, “Come on, Daddy!”


    L rubbed Nora’s nose with a frown. “Why are you so worried, little girl?”


    The beautiful CEO’s face lit up with a tempting blush.


    That night!


    L sat by the bed and told Nora the story of Cindere to help her fall asleep.


    But tonight, Nora couldn’t sleep.


    She opened her eyes again, and there was a hint of unease and sadness in her big eyes.


    “Daddy, am I really Mommy’s biological daughter?”


    L felt a pang in his heart at these words. He also felt hatred towards udia.


    “udia! Do you know how much harm you’ve caused our daughter?” he thought to himself.


    “Sweetie, your Mommy was just confused for a while. She knows she was wrong now. I will find someone better to be your Mommy if that’s okay with you.” L said lovingly as he hugged Nora tightly.


    The little one shook her head. “As long as you love me.”


    Then she asked anxiously, “Daddy, will you have another baby with Auntie Miranda? Will you stop loving me when there is another brother or sister?”


    L felt heartbroken but shook his head firmly, “No! I only need you!”


    “Really?” Upon hearing this, the little girl’s eyes lit up with joy.


    “Really! My love belongs only to you.” L patted his daughter’s small head and said.


    “Mmm…” This time, Nora obediently closed her eyes and soon fell asleep with even breathing. Her face still had a sweet smile on it, melting L’s heart.


    After his daughter fell asleep, L left the room quietly. “Mr. Willis, you’re not sleeping yet?” The maid responsible for cleaning and cooking in the vi respectfully asked him as he passed by.


    “Nope! Just taking a stroll! You can go to bed if there is nothing else.” L nodded politely before walking into the courtyard outside.


    In the vast courtyard, L found a secluded spot and sat down cross-legged. Then, he began to breathe and circte the “Dragon Soul Immortal Technique” cultivation method.


    He absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, merging it with the dragon energy emanating from his left kidney. This process continuously tempered his physical body, widened his meridians, and refined his dantian.


    ording to the power ssification in Dragon Soul Immortal Technique, L was currently in thete stage of Energy Refinement, and the next level up was the Uppecia Realm.


    Today he killed a Transmutation Force expert with one palm, which made L feel a sense of breakthrough.


    After a while!


    L opened his eyes and shook his head slightly.


    His strength had reached the bottleneck of Energy Refinement, and the true energy in his abdomen was already showing signs of turning from gas to liquid.


    But he had not seeded yet.


    ording to Dragon Soul Immortal Technique’s description, he needed a treasure called “Heavenly Spirit Jade” to break through to the Uppecia Realm.


    Compared with ordinary jade stones, this spiritual jade contained hundreds of times more spiritual energy from heaven and earth.


    Now that there was too little spiritual energy on Earth, only by absorbing the spiritual energy contained in this treasure could heplete his breakthrough.


    …


    The next day at noon at Lowe family mansion!Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Victoria sat in her seat with an angry and gloomy face. All direct members of Lowe family except for Miranda and Mason siblings were present. In addition to Emmanuel (the eldest son) and Romeo (the second son), Miranda’s three aunties as well as her uncle’s family were also present. There were also some important coteral members.


    “By now, I’m sure you all know that Mirandapleted the task given to her by the family and received a 130 million dor order! Hmph!” Victoria said coldly.


    As her words fell, the people present had different expressions. Some were amazed, some were unhappy, and some didn’t care.


    Emmanuel and Cara exchanged a nce and a hint of pride appeared in their expressions.


    “Mom, since Miranda haspleted the task, ording to our previous agreement, we shouldn’t force her to marry Isa anymore,” Emmanuel said in a deep voice.


    After speaking, his gaze swept across the room with an air of pride. His daughter’s achievement made him feel even more proud as a father within the family.


    “Hmph! What agreement? Everyone knows it was just to make her give up resistance. Even if shepletes it so what? Are we really going to offend the Austin family?” Romeo questioned.


    “What do you mean offend the Austin family? It’s just Isa. Fine then! Even if our family doesn’t help Miranda reject Isa’s proposal, at least don’t force her,” Cara said indignantly.


    As soon as she finished speaking there was silence among those present. Victoria’s expression also changed frequently during this time.


    In her mind, she was extremely displeased with her granddaughter.


    As someone who always had the final say in the Lowe family, she felt like her granddaughter had just pped her in the face.


    “You’re not really going to help my cousin n a wedding with that guy, are you?” Harlow asked coldly.


    “Well, since I’ve said it, of course I’ll keep my word! L seems to have some ability and if Miranda likes him, then we can ept it,” Emmanuel replied solemnly.


    As soon as he finished speaking, Victoria snorted heavily. “Nonsense! Even if she doesn’t want to marry Isa, there’s no need to hold a wedding with that guy! This is simply provocation against the Austin family and Mr. Austin!”


    Just then a threatening voice suddenly sounded from outside the hall. “That’s right! You all better think carefully! The the Austin family – even just Mr. Austin – is not something you can afford to offend.”


    Looking towards where the voice came from, they saw a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed sses walking in followed by several bodyguards. It was none other than Isa’s henchman Kayden.


    “Today Mr. Austin has sent me here to deliver a message for you. If you can’t control Miranda and make her behave herself then be prepared for punishment from the Austin family!” he threatened.


    “At that time your family will surely decline!”
