    Kiss


    In the Jennings family, Sophia, the mother, was devastated upon learning of her daughter Ste’s tragic


    death. Overwhelmed with grief, she cried so much that she almost fainted.


    “My daughter…my daughter! How could the Cox family be so heartless! We must seek justice for this.


    How could my daughter die in vain like this?”


    The key members of the Jennings family were gathered in the main lobby at that moment.


    Seeing Sophia crying and causing a scene, everyone was quite annoyed.


    Unable to bear it any longer, the senior elder suddenly mmed the table and stood up, ring at her


    furiously.


    “Demand justice? How can you demand justice? The Jennings family is no longer a member of the


    Bartitsu Guild. You have no power to rely on! What right do you have to demand justice? Besides, it’s


    the Cox family! Do you dare to challenge the Cox family? I think you’ve lost your mind!”


    Sophia’s eyes were swollen and red from crying, resembling two walnuts. She gritted her teeth, giving


    the impression that she was ready to bite someone’s head off.


    “Have I lost my mind? Don’t forget, my daughter is the head of the Jennings family! You/should be


    serving her, standing up for her! Now that she’s in trouble, all you think about is yourselves! Have you


    forgotten myte husband’sst wish?”


    The previous head of the Jennings family was Ste’s father.


    Two years ago, due to a severe illness, he passed away prematurely.


    Before his death, he was determined to position his daughter as the head of the family in order to


    prevent the power from falling into the wrong hands. He secretly gained the support of many influential


    people within the family.


    But now, since Ste had passed away, naturally, no one would show respect to this widow anymore.


    Owain was particrly annoyed. Initially, he had intended for his own son, who was also Ste’s


    cousin, Maxwell, to ascend to the position.


    After Ste became the head, he became discontented and even harbored resentment in his heart.


    At this moment, seeing Sophia’s unruly behavior, he naturally wouldn’t indulge her. He publicly rebuked


    her without regard for her dignity.


    “Entrustment? You have the nerve to mention entrustment? Everyone knows how your daughter


    became the head of the family. Do you think we’re all fools? Under her leadership, the Jennings family


    has been declining for the past two years, The family wealth has significantly decreased due to her


    mismanagement. Has anything she’s done been beneficial to the Jennings family? And you still dare to


    call her the head of the family? Ha, you have the audacity to im she’s the head of the family!”


    He raised his head, and the others could no longer hold back. Theyunched into a barrage of


    sarcastic and scathing criticisms.


    “Exactly! With her as the head of the Jennings family, we’ve had a streak of bad luck! That wretched


    girl has brought our family to this state, and now she’s just fine. With a swipe at her neck, she’s out of


    breath, leaving us here to worry. Who’s going to clean up this mess? Isn’t it us?”


    “These past two years, she’s been causing trouble everywhere, taking advantage of her position as the


    head of the Jennings family to act recklessly. She’s been harsh to our family members, causing discord


    at home and attracting criticism from outsiders towards the Jennings family! Every time she stirs up


    trouble, we have to clean up after her. Such a family head is simply unheard of!”


    “Again, she insists on meddling with the Gordon family. Is she out of her mind to oppose them?


    Everyone knows the rtionship between the Gordon and Cox families. The heads of both families are


    inws, naturally, they support each other. But she, she’s eager to confront the head of the Gordon


    family. Isn’t that a p in the face to the Cox family? The Cox family was merciful enough to only break


    her neck. If they truly be ruthless, who knows, they might even grind her to dust!”


    “You all-” Sophia, seeing herself and her daughter be the target of everyone’s criticism, was so


    angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.


    “You’re just kicking her while she’s down! But she’s still the head of the Jennings family, are you really


    nning to just stand by and do nothing?”


    “Hah, she is dead, how can she still be our family head?”


    “What a joke! Do something? How are we supposed to do something? With what? What does the


    Jennings family amount to now? Without the protection of the Bartitsu Guild, anyone can step on our


    family!”


    At that moment, Owain looked at her with a cold smirk.


    “Do you really think the Jennings family will have good days ahead? We’re on the brink of disaster!


    Now, the entire Jennings family is going to be buried with your precious daughter! Do you still have


    time to think about your useless dead daughter? You better start thinking about what you’re going to


    do!”


    Sophia was taken aback upon hearing this, not quite understanding. “What kind of disaster are you


    talking about? My daughter has already been killed by them, what more do they want?”


    Seeing her behave so recklessly, all the members of the Jennings family revealed expressions of


    disdain and

    annoyance.


    “Do you think that by executing Ste, everything can be easily resolved? Dream on! Let me tell you,


    Ste represents the Jennings family. Thanks to her, those brought by the Jennings family have acted


    against the Gordon family. Now, our entire family has been expelled by the Bartitsu Guild, which means


    we have been expelled from Phison! Do you know what expulsion means? It means annihtion!


    There’s no longer any reason for our family to exist!”
