Became A Queen After divorce

Upon hearing that he could save Pearl, eight-year-old Esteban showed no fear.

He stepped forward and said loudly, “I am willing to donate my blood.”

Hearing the boy’s voice, Sam couldn’t help but cough guiltily and patted his head.

“Thank you, Esteban, but… you’re still young. If you donate blood…”

He couldn’t guarantee what might happen.

After all, Esteban was only eight years old, far below the age requirement for blood donation.

Unexpectedly, Esteban replied seriously, “It’s okay, Uncle Sam. I’ve had a lot of blood drawn before. I managed then, and I can manage now!”

“That bad guy killed my mother, but Pearl saved me once. I owe her this.”

Cheyenne also hesitated to draw blood from a child, but given the circumstances, she had no other choice.

“Alright, I’ll use golden needles to seal Miss Pearl’s heart meridian first. It should extend her life by about two hours. We must proceed with the surgery immediately.”

Sam remained worried.

“Golden blood alone won’t suffice. We don’t have time to find a heart donor for a transplant.”

“When Declan was alive, he wanted to use Miao Gu to refine the legendary Golden Silkworm Magic to save her, but unfortunately… he failed.”

He established the Gilliam family and captured many children for experiments. He collaborated with the Weaver family and the Cunningham family to obtain the Golden Silkworm Magic to extend Pearl’s life.

As for the whereabouts of the Golden Silkworm Magic, Sam didn’t know.

All he knew was that Declan had sent Brody to Chulae for this task, but he had failed.

The rare treasure, the Golden Silkworm Magic, remained missing.

To everyone’s surprise, Kelvin said, “The Golden Silkworm Magic is within me. We can proceed with the surgery!”

“Hiss~”

The news was shocking. Sam hadn’t expected Kelvin to possess the Golden Silkworm Magic.

He looked at him gratefully.

“Thank you.”

“No need to thank me. We just need to extract the parasite, and Miss Gilliam will be saved.”

Cheyenne encountered another problem. She scratched her head and said, “But I don’t know how to extract the Golden Silkworm Magic.”

“The ‘Art of Magic’ given by Leandro only contains half of the method, detailing only the refining process.”

Sam pulled out an old, yellowed half-book from his pocket and handed it to Cheyenne.

“I have it! The other half has always been with me. Declan had a copy.”

Why this half-book was in his possession was a story that began more than twenty years ago.

Back then, Declan followed Natalia to Chulae and made a deal with Gregory, who should have been his rival in love.

Gregory wanted him to obtain the Cunningham family’s ‘Art of Magic’ in exchange for Natalia.

For his love, Declan agreed.

Together, they planned the massacre of the Cunningham family. However, during the struggle, the ‘Art of Magic’ was torn in half.

Gregory took one half and fulfilled his promise by marrying someone else.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

The other half was stolen by a servant of the Cunningham family and brought to Chulae, where it eventually ended up with Leandro.

When Pearl was born and diagnosed with congenital heart disease, Declan began planning everything that led to today.

He spared no expense to find the servant who took half of the ‘Art of Magic’ and collaborated with him.

That person was Kiara’s grandfather.

Declan also kept an eye on Gregory’s movements in Chulae but didn’t dare act rashly due to Gregory’s considerable influence.

He chose to wait.

Finally, he saw an opportunity when Gregory and Kelvin fought each other to exhaustion and orchestrated the Dragon Serpent Isle incident.

However, Gregory wasn’t foolish. Before his death, he suspected Declan would target him and hid the real book while carrying a fake one to divert attention.

“With golden blood, the Golden Silkworm Magic, and ‘The Art of Magic,’ I am confident we can save Miss Gilliam. Quickly… take her to my hospital now.”

“Alright, I’ll arrange for Duke Peberdy’s assistance.”

Upon hearing about the Golden Silkworm Magic again, members of the Cunningham family hidden in the crowd became alert.

Kiara recognized Kelvin’s back and screamed while pointing at him.

“It’s him! He swallowed my Golden Silkworm Magic!”

“Kiara, are you sure?”

The Cunningham family members were nervous and sweating profusely.

Who was that man?

He was the richest man in Chulae!

How could their declining family possibly compete?

With so many soldiers present, confronting Kelvin for the Golden Silkworm Magic would be suicidal.

The elder of the Cunningham family wasn’t impulsive. He quickly assessed the situation.

“Technically, Miss Natalia is our rightful heir. If Mr. Foley wants to give the Golden Silkworm Magic to her daughter, it settles the matter.”

“Let’s leave it at that. We can’t confront them head-on. We’ll negotiate with Miss Pearl later.”

It would be best if they could persuade her to return to the Cunningham family.

Golden blood was the best nourishment for raising parasites!

With Pearl in their possession, they could surely cultivate another Golden Silkworm Magic.

“But!”

Kiara was dissatisfied and wanted to say more but stopped when the elder glared at her.

The Cunningham family thought the matter was settled until they turned around and found themselves wearing shiny silver “bracelets.”

“What?”

The elder was stunned. What did this mean?

“What are you doing? Why are you arresting us? We’re just here for a wedding.”

“Yes, let us go!”

Duke Peberdy, responsible for the arrests, despised those who practiced dark arts and harmed others.

He glared and shouted coldly, “Shut up! If you cause more trouble, I’ll throw you into Coltos River to feed the fish!”

“Someone among you is involved in the Gilliam Mansion case. I’m ordered to arrest all suspects.”

Kiara nearly cried. She had escaped from Chulae to Taswya only to be caught again.

The Cunningham family members realized it must be Kiara because they hadn’t executed their plan yet.

“It’s her! If you need to arrest someone, take her. She refined parasites for Declan.”

At this critical moment, the Cunningham family didn’t hesitate to betray her.

Kiara wasn’t a legitimate member of their family; she was an outsider who had sought refuge with them. There was no need to protect her now.

Before Kiara could pull out her life-saving parasite, Duke Peberdy’s men restrained her shoulders.

“Enough talk. Take them all away! We’ll investigate your involvement.”

“Sigh! Everyone cooperate,” said the elder with a heavy heart. The Cunningham family had once been so prestigious that even royalty respected them.

Now they were reduced to being arrested.

Shameful!

Truly shameful!
