Chapter 499

Chapter 499 Kneel Therefore, after Eloise spoke, the surrounding people also joined in the accusations, wishing they could beat Blanche to death with a stick.

Blanche clenched her teeth, her delicate body trembling slightly. However, compared to the last time when these people said they wanted to marry her off to the Cunningham family, she was faring much better.

Every obstacle experienced was a form of growth.

Therefore, Blanche did not lose her composure hysterically but listened to their accusations with a cold demeanor until they quieted down. She sneered, “Despicable and shameless losers!”

“What did you say?”

“Have you lost your mind, Blanche? We are your elders, yet you dare to insult us, calling us despicable and shameless scoundrels? Who taught you to say such outrageous words?”

“I think she doesn’t even care about us. That’s why she couldn’t wait to tie our family with that madman, Emrys back at the restaurant.”

The crowd, who had already grown tired of hurling insults, found renewed energy upon hearing Blanche’s words. Once again, they criticized her without holding back.

Alpheus‘ face was dark, his veins bulging in anger. He bellowed, “You’re becoming more and more unreasonable. This is your last Chapter 499 Kneel chance. Kneel!”

“I won’t kneel!” Blanche insisted.

Bang!

Alpheus slapped the adjacent solid wooden table, causing it to shatter. He stood up and strode toward Blanche, raising his hand to strike.

Blanche didn’t dodge.

Instead, she raised her head defiantly, staring at Alpheus, and said, “Hit me!”

“You…”

Alpheus was so angry that his hand trembled, but ultimately, the slap did not land. He remembered the last time Blanche had the same attitude.

Alayna hurriedly ran over to pull Alpheus away.

Blanche surveyed the angry crowd around her, sneering, “Mr. Lund was invited to the Langford family by me. But why did I invite him? It was to help Grandpa recover. What did I do wrong? When Grandpa was critically ill and on the verge of passing away, Mr. Lund saved him. So, when I said in the restaurant that Mr. Lund is the benefactor of the Langford family, did I do something wrong? Mr. Lund is our benefactor, but you deliberately concealed Mr. Lund’s actions out of fear that the anger from the Russell family would affect you. Was I wrong in calling you shameless losers? Earlier at the restaurant, when Chapter 490 Kheel 1842 Cillian questioned us, each of you played dumb. Wasn’t it because you were afraid of offending Mr.

Lund that you wanted me to take the blame? I just stated a fact, and now I’m getting scolded. Was I wrong in calling you despicable? If you’re so capable, go tell Mr. Lund to his face that you want to disassociate from him, instead of venting your anger on me, a young girl.”

The series of rhetorical questions from Blanche left the people of the Langford family speechless.

They ended up in this awkward situation because they neither wanted to offend the Russell family nor Emrys. Therefore, they had no choice but to feign ignorance and let Blanche take the fall.

As a result, when Blanche’s response did not align with their wishes, they began to vent their anger on Blanche.

This was a classic case of acting meek and civil in public, but a tyrant at home.

Eloise and others were silenced by Blanche’s retorts. At this moment, Teagan stood up and said, “Blanche, we know that what you said is true. However, in this world, many things are not judged based on right or wrong; the key is compromise. If Emrys offends the Russell family, he might die, but he might also be protected by the Mapleton family. But for our family, once we board the wrong ship, who will protect us? Emrys? He can’t even protect himself!”

Blanche shook her head and responded, “That’s just your perspective. From my standpoint, there is a clear distinction. between right and wrong.”

20:35 TNU, 15 Feb 60 Chapter 499 Kneel 24.18%2 Teagan let out a sigh, frustrated by Blanche’s lack of understanding. He approached Samuel, who was scowling, and inquired, “Dad, why did you refuse to let us keep an eye on Emrys at the restaurant? What if he had actually fled?”
