She was excellent in all aspects.
However, she was a woman, and she could not carry on the ancestral line. Therefore, she could not become the heir of the family.
Valerio felt that this was a great pity.
Albaâs sudden outburst now might be from her keeping everything inside for too long. Valerio understood, so he would not criticize her.
Instead, he said earnestly, âAlba, you can only accept your fate since you were born in a big family like this. There is nothing you can do. To be honest, I have always had high hopes for you, and I like you, but unfortunately, youâre not a man! If you were a man, I can guarantee that Iâd have made you the first in-line heir of the family After Alba calmed down, she realized she went overboard.
âHow can I speak to Grandpa Val whom I respected so much like that?
âIf I didnât have his help as the person in charge of Treasure Trove, how would I have so many chances to research Soulbound Weapons?
âEven if my biological grandfather is here, he wouldnât allow me to act like this.â
âIâm sorry, Grandpa Val. I lost my temper just now and offended you. Please forgive me, Alba lowered her voice and apologized.
âItâs fine. I know youâve been holding it in for too long. Itâll be better for you to let it out. However, the seniors decided to let you stay home. You canât be so willful anymore. If not, I canât protect you anymore,â Valerio sighed.
âGrandpa Val, can you tell me why?â Alba asked, her eyes turning red.
âItâs because your fiancé, Master Anders Palmore, is about to come out. You should stay home for the time being. Once heâs out, youâll marry into his family. Anders is the first in-line heir of his family, and he has outstanding talent. Moreover, heâs one of the most excellent geniuses among the younger generation of Star Kingdom. You should know all this, so you wonât be wronged after you marry him.â
âAnders is coming out?â
Albaâs heart tightened.
âWhat should I do?
âI havenât started my cooperation with David.
âAnd David hasnât finished his masterâs task.
âSo, itâs impossible for me to ask David to help the family get out of the Palmore familyâs control now.
âWhat should I do?
âEven if David wants to help me, heâs helpless.
âOnly his master, that Sacred Saint hidden in Star Kingdom, can help me.
âDavid said he can only request something from his master if he completes his task.
âNow that he hasnât completed the task yet, how can he request this?
âWhy canât Anders wait for a while longer?
âIs God trying to ruin my family?â
Alba felt utterly helpless.
No matter how hard she tried, she still could not escape fateâs arrangement.
Announced that he was coming out now and her family grounded her.
If she could not work with David anymore, David and his Sacred Saint master would not help her.
When Anders really came out, she would immediately marry him.
Next, the Palmore family would slowly devour the Fellowes family.
In the end, the Fellowes family could only give up Treasure Trove that their grandmasters left for them to protect their inheritance.
Even then, the Palmore family might not leave them alone.
After this, the Fellowes family would lose their assets that were handed down from generation to generation and could only struggle on whilst at deathâs door.
They might even die out someday.
At that point, Alba would be in a dilemma.
The Fellowes family would hate her, and the Palmore family would dislike her.
âNo!
âAbsolutely not!
âI canât give up like this!
âI have to take a bet so that Iâll be reconciled.â
Alba thought firmly.
