Chapter 284 - 188: Henry Chapman: Disrespectful in Old Age, He Is Unworthy [Part 2]
"From today onwards, my Biel Hall and the Scott family will be irreconcilable enemies!"
Each word was clear and powerful, striking the hard ground as if it could make it resonate.
A sudden gust of wind lifted her black hair, and the hem of her black clothes swayed in the air in arcs, exuding sharpness and a murderous aura. She stood in everyone’s view, her face exquisitely beautiful, her figure tall and slender, her beauty resembling a rare treasure of the world, but what she brought was not just visual amazement, but an overwhelming pressure that touched the soul.
Decisive, domineering, ruthless.
The jade token in her hand shone brilliantly under the sunlight, dazzling and radiant.
How could she be a socialite confined by prestigious families?
Clearly, she was a heroine storming through the Martial World!
She possessed all the authority, prestige, and spirit that a Hall Master should have.
"Yes!"
Her response was met with the firm voices of over ten people in front.
No matter how many enemies there are, this is the right of the Hall Master!
"Let’s go."
Nora Scott put away the token, didn’t give the courtyard another glance, and turned to leave.
Pedro Langley followed closely behind.
No one dared to stop them.
Everyone had seen their skills, and now, with house staff and Scott family members lying incapacitated, they were powerless against them. The guests certainly wouldn’t get involved, eager to disassociate themselves.
Among the over ten members of Biel Hall who stepped forward, many had some ties with the Scott family. Now that Biel Hall and the Scott family declared a break, none had any intention of staying.
"Sir Scott, my apologies."
"I dare not disobey the Hall Master’s order."
"Sir Scott, take care."
...
Some left directly behind Nora Scott and Pedro Langley, while others, after regretfully passing a word to Aaron Scott, left as well.
Their intentions were clear—
The Scott family is insignificant in the eyes of Biel Hall.
Among the guests present, it was evident some understood this.
"To be enemies with her, the Scott family has suffered too great a loss."
"The Scott family was hesitant before, unwilling to acknowledge her, thinking she was an illegitimate child aiming too high. Now, it doesn’t matter at all; people don’t care for the Scott family one bit."
"All the families in Fenton City have business dealings with Biel Hall, and the Scott family is no exception. Now that the business chain with Biel Hall is broken, and Biel Hall has issued harsh words, other families will likely side with Biel Hall, making life tough for the Scotts in the future."
"This young lady is incredible; among all the Hall Masters of Biel Hall past, there probably hasn’t been one who dares to stir trouble like this."
"Even Master Pedro, who usually stays out of conflicts, is on her side. Now that’s truly impressive."
...
Each sentence fell into Aaron Scott’s ears, making his face darken more and more.
Though filled with fury, he couldn’t deny—
The loss of a Biel Hall Hall Master by the Scott family and becoming enemies with Biel Hall would be an immense loss!
"Dad."
At this moment, Ernesto Scott, who had been silent since entering the door, suddenly spoke up.
Ignoring the relatives on the ground, he took a few steps toward Aaron Scott, his demeanor stern, and a layer of frost covered his eyes.
"I will still call you dad one last time." Ernesto spoke in a low voice, each word piercing Aaron Scott’s heart, "If everything Nora said is true, then I will also sever all ties with the Scott family from now on!"
After being repeatedly provoked, Aaron Scott was so angry that his head was spinning, and he pointed at Ernesto, his eyes wide open in anger, "You ungrateful son!"
"And you are not a qualified father!"
Ernesto coldly retorted.
With those words, he, too, didn’t wish to linger and directly turned to leave.
The guests watching silently remained spectators, each digesting the events.
Inside, their emotions were battling with excitement.
——It was worth coming!
——The Scott family drama is so fascinating!
"Mom."
Sophie Scott’s face was pale, instinctively seeking help from Alma Ferreira.
But with one glance, she unexpectedly found Alma’s face looked even worse than her own.
Her heart sank, biting her lip tightly, feeling uneasy as if sitting on pins and needles.
She didn’t know what Biel Hall was, but judging by the reactions and discussions of those present, it was undeniably something the Scott family aspired to associate with.
All along, she only saw Nora Scott as a mediocre celebrity and an illegitimate child, someone unimpressive in every way. When Ernesto continually showed favoritism to Nora, she consoled herself with the thought that Ernesto would eventually see which daughter was truly outstanding, but she never expected...
Nora stood one foot in a world she had never reached, looking down, perhaps never even sparing her a glance.
Nora didn’t even regard the entire Scott family!
This realization completely overturned her world view, her mind in a tangled mess, unable to make sense of anything, leaving only chaos and bewilderment.
