The Forsaken-Grade Cultivator - Chapter 18: Grades

Ethan Blackwood wasn’t used to being defied. As the CEO of a global empire, he crushed obstacles with a single glance. But when Lily Anderson stood before him, her chin lifted in quiet defiance, and something in him snapped. “Sign the contract,” he said, his voice like ice. “30 days. You’ll obey every command. After that, you’re free.”She hesitated, her fingers trembling as she gripped the pen. “And if I refuse?”His smirk was cold, but his eyes burned. “Then you’ll spend the rest of your life paying off your father’s debts. Your choice.”Trapped, Lily signed. But she vowed one thing: she wouldn’t let him break her.From the first day, their clash was electric. He demanded perfection; she gave him rebellion. “You think you can control me?” she spat, after he criticized her for being late.Ethan stepped closer, his presence overwhelming. “I don’t just control you. Lily, I own you.”But as the days passed, the lines between them blurred. Late nights in his penthouse turned into whispered conversations. His cold demeanor cracked, revealing glimpses of a man haunted by his past. One night, after a heated argument, he pinned her against the wall, his breath hot against her ear. “Why do you fight me so much?”Her voice trembled. “Because I’m afraid if I stop, I’ll lose myself to you.”Their connection deepened, but danger loomed. Secrets from Ethan’s past resurfaced, threatening to destroy everything. When Lily discovered the truth behind his obsession with her, she confronted him. “Was I just a pawn in your game? A way to settle an old score?”His eyes darkened with pain. “You were never just a game, Lily. You’re the only thing that’s ever felt real.”As the final days of their contract approached, their bond was tested like never before. Enemies closed in, and trust hung by a thread. Could they overcome the shadows of their pasts, or would their love crumble under the weight of secrets and pride?

Vahn decides to spend a bit of time with Sarina in the Actualized World of Dragon Ball.

The full-level boss He Xinyan was reborn and became the vicious villain who occupies the magpie’s nest in the group’s favorite real daughter.

Not only was he squeezed and sucked blood by the He family, but he was also asked to be a new person by the villain’s transformation system.

The He family sneered: If you leave the He family, you will have nothing.

The men behind the real daughter also took action to suppress He Xinyan: offend our baby, you should be damned!

Even aristocratic high schools expelled her: we don’t take students with bad morals.

System: You have to be gentle and kind in order to be loved and loved.

Just when everyone was waiting to see the jokes about the fake daughters falling into mud.

He Xinyan held the counterattack script in hand, slapped her face all the way, and became an unattainable existence for everyone.

The noble school expelled her, turned around and she was admitted to the best university in the country and became the top student in the college entrance examination;

The He family relies on her to make a fortune and take back everything, you are not worthy;

She cleans up the men behind the real daughter one by one, makes the popular stars go to the ground, and makes the domineering president become a bankrupt president.

When He Xinyan’s identity was revealed and she turned into a daughter of a certain power, when her parents and brother could not wait to spoil her, the villain transformation system was completely silent.

——

The noble young master of the Shi family, Shi Lin, has been practicing Buddhism all year round, and he is not stained by the world.

I had never seen anyone with such ill will as the adopted daughter of the He family.

He gave her a bottle of medicine for a while, and didn’t expect her to survive.

See you soon after the results, eh? This fake daughter actually lived a good life. Not only was she alive and well, she was also unparalleled, fighting against the suppression of several giants by herself.

Shi Lin hooked her lips: Yes, it’s a bit interesting.
