Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 783: Stepdaughters In Queen's Chambers



As Wang Jian slipped out of the King's chamber, satisfaction painted his face.

The conquest of Lady Soffa had not only fulfilled his desires but had also secured him yet another valuable asset in the Spanish Royal Family. He knew he'd won the unwavering loyalty of the Queen herself, and he intended to use this to its fullest advantage.

Now, there were other matters to attend to- and so he moved swiftly to meet Mariana and Valeria, the two princesses who had proven equally valuable and loyal.

He found the princesses waiting in a secluded corner of the palace gardens, the early morning light casting a soft glow over their poised figures. Their gazes brightened as they caught sight of him, expressions filled with excitement and admiration. It had been a week since they'd seen him, but the distance had only made their feelings stronger.

As he approached, he offered a mischievous grin. "Ladies, I have some exciting news for you. Your stepmother, Lady Soffa... she's mine now."

Mariana's eyes sparkled with intrigue, her lips curving into a sly smile. "We had a feeling that would be the case. Soffa was always weak against charm and power. We knew it was only a matter of time before you'd make her yours."

Valeria glanced between her sister and Wang Jian, the admiration in her gaze now mixed with a hint of amusement. "So what's next, Wang Jian? You've conquered her... What more do you need from her?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

A knowing gleam flashed in Wang Jian's eyes. "Tonight, I'll need both of you to join me in her chamber. We're going to 'break' her once more-this time, as a family affair. She's wavering on the edge of absolute devotion, but a little reinforcement will ensure her loyalty is unbreakable."

The princesses exchanged a look, a silent understanding passing between them. They both knew what Wang Jian wanted and were more than willing to comply. Their loyalty to him had only strengthened with each passing day, and the thrill of collaborating in their stepmother's submission excited them.

Mariana placed a gentle hand on Wang Jian's arm. "Consider it done. We'll be there."

Valeria leaned in close, her voice soft yet brimming with fervor. "Anything for you, Wang Jian. We're ready to do whatever it takes."

With a satisfied nod, Wang Jian took a final glance at the royal palace. His foothold within its walls was firmly planted, and now it was time to focus on the larger scheme. As he left the palace grounds, he felt no fear of re-entry. The royal family was practically under his control, whether they realized it or not.

His next destination was the luxurious hotel where his girlfriends-Charlotte, Sarah, Bella, Jessica, and Emma-were eagerly waiting for him. He had stayed in touch with them only through phone calls for nearly a week, but it had been long enough for them to miss him greatly. When he entered the suite, he was greeted with smiles, hugs, and barely contained excitement.

Bella was the first to voice her impatience. "Well, look who finally remembered us!" she teased, playfully slapping his shoulder. "We were starting to think you'd fallen in love with the palace life."

Jessica raised an eyebrow, her voice laced with curiosity. "Did your 'stay' in the palace yield any worthwhile results?"

Emma, always the voice of warmth and support, wrapped her arms around him, smiling up at him. "We've missed you, you know. I hope your time there was worth it."

Wang Jian chuckled, basking in their affection. "I can promise you that my time there was anything but wasted. In fact, I have excellent news for all of you. Jessica, Emma, Bella... your companies-InnovateX Solutions, Lumina Lifestyle, and Elegance Global-are about to receive national contracts, and possibly a few international ones, all thanks to the Royal Family of Spain."

His words hung in the air for a moment, their meaning sinking in. Jessica's eyes widened, a flicker of triumph flashing in them. "National contracts... this changes everything! InnovateX has been struggling to break into the European market fully. This will be a game-changer."

Bella clasped her hands together, her excitement barely contained. "Elegance Global has needed something big to push us into the luxury segment on a global scale. With this, we can compete with the very best."

Emma's smile grew, her mind already buzzing with possibilities. "Lumina Lifestyle has been looking to expand our influence internationally. This is beyond what I could have hoped for."

Wang Jian smiled, appreciating their enthusiasm. "Yes, but it won't be without challenges. Securing the contracts is one thing, but ensuring our dominance in the market is another. That's where Charlotte and Sarah come in."

He turned to Charlotte and Sarah, whose expressions grew serious. "You two have a critical role. As experienced founders and CEOs, you'll need to guide Jessica, Emma, and Bella through the challenges ahead. The key is to take market share directly from our target- Devereux International. Every piece of their empire we dismantle makes us stronger."

Charlotte nodded, her mind already processing the strategy. "We can start by analyzing Devereux's biggest allies and identifying their weaknesses. Bella, Jessica, Emma-if we launch targeted campaigns against Devereux's subsidiaries, we can begin to erode their dominance from the bottom up."

Sarah's expression mirrored her partner's intensity. "Exactly. We should also exploit their market gaps. Jessica, with InnovateX, we'll focus on developing technologies that outpace theirs. Bella, Elegance Global can position itself as a luxury brand with roots in innovation, something that appeals internationally. And Emma, Lumina Lifestyle has the unique health angle that Devereux lacks. We hit them in every vulnerable spot."

Jessica crossed her arms, her gaze steely. "I'll ensure InnovateX stays a step ahead in tech. If Devereux wants to keep up, they'll have to play our game."

Bella chimed in, her tone laced with determination. "Elegance Global will target Devereux's luxury division. With our new positioning, we'll make their products look outdated."

Emma gave a confident nod. "And Lumina Lifestyle will appeal to the health-conscious market, something Devereux hasn't prioritized. We'll take the lead there."

Wang Jian's gaze swept over them, his pride evident. He knew he'd chosen the right women for this endeavor. "That's the spirit. With this unified front, we'll dismantle Devereux's hold on the market piece by piece. Leon Devereux won't know what hit him."

Their strategic meeting concluded, Wang Jian allowed himself to enjoy the warm company of his girlfriends. Each one was powerful and ambitious in her own right, but together, they formed an unstoppable team that would see his plans through to fruition. They spent the rest of the day together, discussing finer details of their strategies and sharing laughs, the bond between them only growing stronger.

As the evening drew closer, Wang Jian prepared to leave for the palace once more. He gathered his belongings, glancing at each of his girlfriends with a confident smile. "Tonight, I'll pay a visit to Lady Soffa. She's my foothold within the palace and a key player in our alliance with the Spanish Royal Family. She's also the one who will help us secure those contracts."

Emma touched his arm, concern flickering in her eyes. "Be careful, Wang Jian. You're taking big risks. If anyone finds out..."

He placed a reassuring hand over hers. "Don't worry. The royal family is already within my grasp. By tomorrow, we'll have everything we need to dominate this market."

With a final wave, he left the hotel, making his way back to the palace under the cover of night.

As he entered the palace, navigating its familiar halls with ease, Wang Jian made his way to Lady Soffa's private chamber. As he approached, he caught sight of Mariana and Valeria waiting by the door, their expressions filled with anticipation.

The sisters greeted him with soft smiles, their loyalty evident in their every glance. "We're ready, Wang Jian," Mariana whispered, her voice laced with excitement. "Let's ensure our stepmother knows exactly where her loyalties lie."

Wang Jian nodded, his gaze filled with determination. Tonight, he would solidify his hold

over the Spanish Royal Family in every possible way. Lady Soffa's submission would be complete, and with Mariana and Valeria at his side, his plans for domination were well underway.

As Wang Jian entered Lady Soffa's private chamber, he glanced back at Mariana and Valeria,

each with a sly smile curling on her lips. They had no love for their stepmother, the woman who'd wed their father for reasons that seemed more about power and position than any genuine affection. Wang Jian could sense their simmering resentment beneath their composed exteriors. Tonight, he intended to capitalize on every bit of that disdain.

Lady Soffa, seated by her vanity, looked up with a start as she noticed him enter, followed by her stepdaughters. Her surprise quickly morphed into a sultry gaze as she realized who had returned, her lips parting with anticipation.

"Wang Jian," she breathed, her voice barely above a whisper, glancing at Mariana and Valeria

with slight unease. "What... are they doing here?"

Wang Jian's grin was confident, almost predatory. "They're here to help, my dear," he replied, stepping closer to her. "Mariana and Valeria have some things they'd like to... resolve with you. Isn't that right, ladies?"

Mariana's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and she stepped forward. "Yes, Wang Jian. I think it's time we address a few things. Stepmother," she said, her voice laced with mock sweetness as she sauntered closer, "you've always been so... good at taking what you want."

Valeria followed, folding her arms with a bemused expression. "Soffa, you've taken our father's favor, his resources... and his trust. But tonight," she continued, glancing at Wang Jian with a soft smile, "it seems that Wang Jian's shown us just how... replaceable you are."

Soffa's face turned pale as she struggled to maintain her composure, but Wang Jian placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, his touch steadying her. "Easy now, Lady Soffa. I'm here to bring peace to this little family... in my own way."

Soffa turned to him, her eyes filled with a conflicted mixture of admiration and trepidation. "And what does that mean, Wang Jian?" she asked, her voice soft but tense.

"It means," he said, tightening his grip on her shoulder, "that from this night onward, you'll

belong to me-completely. And these two," he nodded toward the sisters, "will watch as you give in, accepting your new place in this family."

Mariana stepped forward, leaning closer to her stepmother with a mocking smile. "Face it, Soffa. You're nothing more than a pawn now-one of Wang Jian's playthings. Just like you wanted to control us, you'll be the one controlled now."

Wang Jian chuckled, taking hold of Soffa's chin and turning her face toward him. "Let's begin,

shall we?" he whispered, his tone both commanding and seductive. He captured her lips in a possessive kiss, drawing a gasp from her as her last remnants of resistance crumbled.

Valeria watched with a smirk as Wang Jian's hands roamed over Soffa's body, guiding her to

respond. "We always knew she'd fall for power," Valeria murmured, her gaze locked on the scene before her.

Mariana crossed her arms, a wicked smile gracing her lips as Wang Jian continued, "And now, let's make sure Soffa understands her place."
