Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2070: Eye of the Storm

Not long ago, a stranger publicly humiliated the Easton Family’s Second Young Master, Bless Easton, right in front of Leilani Brightfall?

Moreover, afterwards, Leilani Brightfall even held the stranger’s hand and swaggered out of the tavern?

Upon hearing all this, Jaxton Brightfall, the second lord of the Brightfall Family, was almost infuriated to the point of fainting, his face turning green with anger.

Later, it was even green to the point of turning purple!

Additionally, Jaxton Brightfall’s sharp eyes were glaring round as he sternly said, "That girl Leilani is becoming more and more impudent!"

"Doesn’t she know that by doing this, she is pushing our Brightfall Family to oppose the Easton Family?"

"Let’s go! Return to the family!"

Taking a deep breath, he called out to the servants behind him in a low voice, then turned his icy gaze in the direction of the Brightfall Family residence.

"I have to return to the family and ask that girl Leilani what kind of man could make her disregard the ’reserve’ a noble lady should have, to hold his hand and leave under everyone’s watch..."

"After this incident, the marriage alliance between our Brightfall Family and the Easton Family is surely doomed! The Easton Family would never accept such a woman with a tainted reputation into their house!"

With this thought, Jaxton Brightfall’s expression grew even darker.

After all, a family like the Easton Family values ’face’ most highly.

Today, many people saw Miss Leilani Brightfall holding a man’s hand and leaving the tavern, and this is enough to ruin her reputation, no longer pure and chaste.

A grand family like the Easton Family would surely not accept such a marriage partner!

"That girl Leilani has really been spoiled by the family head!"

"Her usual small antics could be overlooked... But this time, she has done something so scandalous that it damages our family’s reputation and ruins the good relationship we’ve built with the Easton Family over the years! Even if the family head wants to protect her this time, he can’t save her! She must be severely punished!!"

On the way back to the Brightfall Family residence, Jaxton Brightfall’s expression darkened even more.

He still didn’t know that Leilani had already brought the stranger back to the Brightfall home, allowing him to stay in her private residence.

"Second Lord!"

"Second Lord!"

...

At the entrance of the Brightfall residence, several of the family members on guard saw Jaxton Brightfall return and respectfully saluted him.

"Did any of you... see the young lady? Has she returned?"

Jaxton Brightfall looked at the family members and asked in a serious tone.

"Yes, she has."

One of the family members nodded.

"Not only did she return... the young lady also brought back a guest."

Another family member added.

"A guest?!"

Upon hearing this from a family member, Jaxton Brightfall’s pupils suddenly shrunk and his breathing became rapid as he coldly asked, "Is the person the young lady brought back a young man in purple clothes?"

By now, Jaxton Brightfall’s tone was so cold it sent chills down the spine.

"Yes."

Noticing something wrong in Jaxton Brightfall’s tone, the family members hurriedly nodded, while feeling a bit stunned:

Could it be that the Second Lord knows the young man the young lady brought back?

"Rebellious! Rebellious!!"

After getting confirmation from the family members, Jaxton Brightfall nearly fainted with rage again, taking several deep breaths to gradually calm his agitated mood.

In his mind:

Earlier, when Leilani, holding the hand of the stranger who humiliated Bless Easton, left the tavern, she was already openly opposing the Easton Family, pushing the Brightfall Family into the opposition!

And now, Leilani had brought the stranger back to the Brightfall home...

Is there any room for reconciliation between the Brightfall Family and the Easton Family?

Because of this, Jaxton Brightfall’s face turned green again, as green as purple, making the gatekeepers of the family dare not breathe heavily.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

...

Straight away, Jaxton Brightfall moved quickly, marching into the Brightfall residence aggressively, looking as if he was about to confront someone ’to hold them accountable’.

Meanwhile, when Jaxton Brightfall returned to the Brightfall home, the tavern in the center of Airebright City welcomed back Bless Easton, the Second Young Master of the Easton Family.

This time, however, Bless Easton was not alone.

Beside him were two elderly men in gray clothes, the ’helpers’ he had found at the Easton Family, who were also elders of the Easton Family.

"Gone?"

After entering the tavern, Bless Easton realized neither the purple-clad young man who had humiliated him nor Leilani Brightfall was there.

He had returned too late!

Immediately, Bless Easton’s expression grew grim, "That guy, so cowardly? Just left like that?"

However, soon enough, he learned from the other patrons in the tavern about Leilani Brightfall persuading that Ziyi youth to leave...

When the Ziyi youth showed no intention of leaving, Leilani Brightfall, in front of everyone, took his hand and led him out of the tavern!

"Leilani Brightfall, left holding that guy’s hand?"

At first, Bless Easton was also somewhat incredulous.

Because he could be certain that Leilani Brightfall did not know that man before today, contrary to others’ speculation that she was already acquainted with him.

A man she didn’t know before today, and Leilani would take his hand?

Upon hearing this, his first thought was "Impossible!"

Only, after receiving confirmations from several patrons and recalling the ’shyness’ Leilani displayed before that Ziyi youth...

Even if he was unwilling to believe it, he couldn’t help but accept it!

"Slut! Slut!!"

Immediately, Bless Easton was so furious he almost spat blood, cursing loudly.

He had never imagined:

Leilani Brightfall, who had always conducted herself with purity and integrity in front of him, would be so wanton in front of a stranger!

In an instant, Bless Easton was overwhelmed by a mix of shame and anger, unable to curb his rage.

"That Leilani Brightfall is so shameless!"

"Such a person does not deserve to step through the doors of our Easton Family!"

The two elders who had come along with Bless Easton were also furious upon hearing the words of the tavern patrons.

They felt Leilani Brightfall’s actions were a loud ’slap’ to the Easton Family!

Now, in Airebright City,

who didn’t know the ’Easton Family’ was to be allied with the ’Brightfall Family’ through marriage?

Who didn’t know that the ones engaged to be married were the Easton Family’s Second Young Master ’Bless Easton’ and the Brightfall Family’s eldest daughter ’Leilani Brightfall’?

But today, Leilani disregarded a woman’s most important virtue, openly colluding with a ’wild man’...

For the Easton Family, this was an immense humiliation!

As Bless Easton and the two Easton Family elders seethed with rage, a message from the Brightfall Family nearly drove them to their graves:

"The Brightfall Family’s eldest daughter ’Leilani Brightfall’ brought a stranger in Ziyi attire back to the Brightfall Family and allowed that man to stay in her independent mansion!"

If previously, Leilani taking another man’s hand in front of so many people had already made the three members of the Easton Family feel humiliated and infuriated, as if she was shaming the Easton Family, slapping them in the face...

Then now, hearing this news, they were absolutely livid, their eyes nearly popping out in rage!

"Slut! Slut!!"

Bless Easton continued to curse, venomous gleams in his eyes, internally roaring, "I, Bless Easton, swear: Even though I may never marry you, I will make you beg beneath me, make you regret your actions today!!"

"Leilani Brightfall, Brightfall Family... Good! Very good!!"

By then, even the two Easton Family elders were fuming with anger.

Meanwhile, they were acutely aware of the strange gazes from the tavern patrons, making them feel ashamed, wishing they could dig a hole to hide in.

They knew well that Leilani’s actions had already caused the Easton Family to lose face!

And as members of the Easton Family, they were naturally embarrassed as well!

"Second Young Master, let’s return to the family! Today’s matter is no longer just your personal affair, but the Easton Family’s... That Leilani Brightfall, that Brightfall Family, have gone too far! Gone too far!!"

Soon, one of the Easton Family elders called out to Bless Easton, then swiftly flew out of the tavern.

He couldn’t bear to stay there any longer.

"Brightfall Family, Leilani Brightfall... Good! Very good!!"

The other Easton Family elder was also consumed by rage, echoing with sarcastic ’goods,’ before leaving right behind the first elder.

After the two Easton Family elders departed, Bless Easton, his face twisted in rage and looking extremely sinister, also left the tavern dejectedly.

The gazes of the tavern patrons were equally unbearable for him!

"The Easton Family really lost face this time!"

And after the departure of the three from the Easton Family, the tavern patrons no longer needed to suppress their thoughts, as one first sighed.

"Isn’t that true? In our ’Airebright City,’ everyone knows the Easton Family is to merge with the Brightfall Family through marriage, and the Brightfall representative in this marriage is the Brightfall Family’s eldest daughter ’Leilani Brightfall’... Today, Leilani’s actions have effectively destroyed this marriage alliance!"

"It’s said that Leilani didn’t want to agree to this marriage in the first place, so the outcome aligns with her wishes."

"While that may be, her actions today are akin to slapping the Easton Family squarely in the face... For the Easton Family, what she did today is an intolerable humiliation!"

"Indeed. If the Easton Family doesn’t do something to remedy this situation, they are bound to become the laughingstock of the entire Airebright City!"

...

Initially, it was just the patrons in the tavern discussing fervently.

Not long after, similar remarks were heard throughout the entirety of ’Airebright City’...

In a matter of time, the ’Easton Family’ was pushed to the forefront of a storm!
