    Colin, with a hint of amusement, responded with a meaningful hum.


    Meanwhile, he cast a dispassionate gaze towards Ste. His face remained cid, but his eyes


    exuded authority.


    Ste was drenched in sweat and was not ready to ept the usation. She bit back with


    determination.


    “No, it’s not true! This talk of ambushes and explosives, mountain copses-it’s not our doing! The


    Gordon family is framing us! It’s also possible… it’s possible that the Gordon family set this all up to


    divert me onto us, the Jennings family! Shane, Neera, do you think your scheme to use us of this


    is foolproof? I’ll tell you, we, the Jennings family, won’t admit to something we haven’t done, even if it


    means going to our graves!”


    Shane remainedposed, observing her screaming and shouting like a shrew. When she finally


    finished, he spoke leisurely.

    “I never imagined that the Jennings family would choose a madwoman like you as their family head. In


    my view, the hundred-year legacy of the Jennings family has been ruined by you. It’s a real shame.”


    Ste’s gaze was wary, her heart pounding, but she remained defiant.


    “What do you mean by that? Don’t think a few casual words can deceive me. I’m not afraid! The


    Jennings family has done nothing wrong, no matter what you say.”


    Shane chuckled sarcastically. “You im the Jennings family has done nothing wrong? Whether the


    Jennings family did it or not, I don’t know. I’m not sure if the Jennings family’s elders were involved.


    What I am certain of, Ste, is that saying such things will surely bring down divine retribution upon


    you.”


    Caleb chimed in with a cheerful tone, “Who would have thought that the head of the Jennings family


    would turn out to be a liar and a coward, daring to deceive but not face the consequences?”


    Following this incident, the people around them continued to discuss, many of them unsure about what


    was happening.


    “Is this for real? The Jennings family dared to y such a big game?”


    “Well, you know, the Jennings family’s methods have never been honorable. They’ve resorted to


    underhanded tricks before.”


    “Is the Jennings family running out ofpetent people? Why would they let Ste be the family


    head? Besides being the sole legitimate heir, she doesn’t seem to have much talent, does she?”


    “That’s true. Ever since the Jennings family fell into Ste’s hands, they’ve been heavily criticized, and


    their reputation has plummeted. They only associate with the lower ranks. Look at those esteemed


    Bartitsu families; none of them want to associate with the Jennings family. She’s just good at making a


    fuss.”


    “I think the Medicina family and the Gordon family sound so certain about it; they must have some


    evidence in their hands/This matter is ny-nine percent the Jennings family’s doing…”


    Ste’s face turned fiery red as she heard these hushed conversations.


    She felt like a sitting duck, unable to shift the attention away.


    “You… You’re just making baseless usations. Thinking you can use us however you like? The


    Jennings family isn’t that easy to bully! Shane, do you have any evidence to prove that the mountain


    was destroyed by us, the Jennings family?”


    The Jennings family was part of the Bartitsu Guild, and making such allegations tarnished the


    reputation of the entire guild. Therefore, Matthew couldn’t simply stand by and do nothing.


    Without dy, Matthew raised his voice to say, “Do you, the Gordon family, have any evidence?”


    Shane was ready for this, and he immediately tossed a package.


    “Inside this package are some soil samples from the st site. It’s certain to contain traces of


    explosives, and if you doubt it, you’re wee to have the soil analyzed. Check where the explosives


    originated from, and you’ll find out whether it was the work of the Jennings family.”


    Because the use of firearms was strictly forbidden in Phison, anything rted to explosives was well-


    documented, and private trading was not permitted.


    Therefore, if such materials had found their way into private hands, it would be rtively easy to trace


    their source.


    Ste turned pale as paper when she saw the soil, realizing there was no way out at this point.


    On the side, Howard, upon witnessing the situation, furrowed his brow and suddenly spoke with a


    strong sense of righteousness.


    “Mr. Lozano, this is indeed the doing of the Jennings family. Initially, Ste used sweet words and


    baseless ims to try and persuade me to cooperate. I had my doubts, but her words were so


    convincing. She said the Gordon family had betrayed the Bartitsu Guild, showed disrespect, and even


    conspired with Lordsworth Estate to eliminate the Bartitsu Guild entirely. I was angered, and that’s why


    I agreed to work with her, thinking it was to stop the Gordon family.”


    “Howard! What are you saying?”


    Ste was utterly dumbfounded, not expecting him to step forward and use her at this moment.
