Chapter 23 - Sandstorm Subsides and Family Crisis (9/9)
The first stage of the clearing mission took half a month. Carpet
“Litte, let me be clear,” she said, taking a deep breath, then spoke, “I already know about the Master’s condition. He can’t remember things clearly and keeps mistaking me for his former wife.”
“Why did you and Orson hide such a serious matter from me?! Why did I have to see it myself to find out? Are you his children, and I am not his wife?!” She questioned Litte loudly, making Litte feel ashamed.
“Apologies, Mother, this matter... was mainly out of consideration for Father’s dignity...”
“Dignity? What dignity is there to talk about among family?” Mary said this, laughing in anger. “I see you don’t consider me your mother at all. As soon as the Master started forgetting things, you began to usurp his power, and now you are kidnapping my confidante. Are you planning to lay hands on me next!?”
Facing the aggressive Mary, Litte could only concede verbally.
“Apologies, Mother, but Mr. Randall’s disappearance truly has nothing to do with us. We have also been trying our best to find him...”
“Heh, trying your best to find him? Putting up a few notices is considered trying your best? Why don’t you search the properties under your and Orson’s names? See if anyone is hidden there?!”
“Mother, please believe us...”
“Litte,” Mary said this, walking to the door. “Let me be frank. If you don’t consider me family, don’t blame me for being heartless.”
Saying this, Mary slammed the door shut.
Looking at the closed door, Litte sighed helplessly.
She had managed to withstand this pressure, but what would happen when the Emperor arrived?
If Mary completely tore off the family’s facade in front of the Emperor and filed a complaint, how would this matter be handled?
It might not be so bad if Mary had no influence, but she was the sister of the Duke of Orleans. Although her status in the family was not high, merely married off as a tool for political marriage, there was no doubt that if necessary, the Duke of Orleans would definitely side with Mary.
