“That’d better be the case!”
Steven issued another threat, “If Ashton continues to misuse her authority to shield the
murderers in the Quillen family, rest assured, with the Tanner family’s connections, we
can have her stripped of her position. If the Summerton family suffers any losses, don’t
me us for not warning you beforehand!”
“Wepletely understand, Mr. Tanner. This is just a small gesture from us. I assure
you, we will ensure Ashton behaves appropriately!”
Althea hastened to cate him, even summoning a servant to present a card to
Steven. She couldn’t afford to offend such a crucial figure in the Chamber of
Commerce!
Especially after learning of the Tanner family’s coboration with the Airspace Group, if
the Tanners decided to turn against the Summerton family, they would be in serious

trouble.
With a contemptuous snort, Steven made his exit in a grand manner.
In truth, the Tanner family wasn’t exceptionally powerful, but they had one advantage-
they boasted numerous male heirs. With Aidan out of the picture, there were plenty of
other heirs eager to step into his shoes!
Steven’s primary goal in seeking revenge for his son was to exploit the situation and
subjugate the Summerton family under the authority of the Tanner family, bringing
them to their knees.
“You shouldn’t have yielded to the Tanner family so easily, Althea!”
Once the Tanner family members left, Zaiden wasted no time in voicing his discontent.
Althea had helped him navigate various socialplications over the years, but he
thought her handling of this situation was inappropriate.

The Summerton family held a prestigious status in Onza. If word got out that they had
capitted to the Tanner family, it would tarnish their reputation.
“What do you suggest we do, then? Wait for the Tanner family to make a move against
us before giving in?”
Althea was incensed. “The Tanner family has allied with the Witchona Chamber of
Commerce, Airspace Group, and other factions, with Teddy Tanner backing them. If we
provoke them, we’re courting disaster. I’d rather suffer some financial loss than invite
such trouble upon us!”
Zaiden didn’t want to argue with her, so he stopped fussing over the money. The
Summerton family wasn’t short on funds anyway, but they needed to address the issue
at hand.
“Quickly, summon Ashton back home!” Zaiden promptly instructed the servants.

“Save the trouble. I’m already back.”
Before the servants could act, Ashton strode in, still d in her police uniform, likely
havinge directly from the police station.
“Ashton, are you trying to worry us to death?” Althea eximed, visibly trembling with
anger as she pointed usingly at her.
Before Althea couldunch into her lengthy lecture, Ashton interjected firmly, “Mom,.

“Emmanuel acted in self-defense when he killed Aidan. Aidan got what he deserved. If
you expect me to abandon protecting Emmanuel and align with the Tanner family, then
you might as well disown me!
“I’ll leave this house right now, and I won’t be returning!”

“Why you…” Althea was so shaken by Ashton’s words that she clutched her chest
tightly.
In noble families, children were often seen as investments.

Althea had envisioned Ashton marrying into another noble family, thereby expanding
the connections of the Summerton family. However, she never anticipated Ashton’s
unwavering loyalty to the son-inw of the Quillen family and her willingness to sever
ties with the Summerton family to protect him.
Why did I spend over twenty years raising her then?
“Zaiden, you’re the head of the family! Talk some sense into her! Are you going to allow
her to act recklessly and do as she pleases?”
Aware of Ashton’s fiery temper, Althea opted to avoid a direct confrontation and instead
implored Zaiden to take action.

Ashton seldom saw her father smoke, making it clear that he was genuinely upset now.
“Well said, Ash!”
To Althea’s astonishment, it seemed that her children were all voicing their grievances
one after another.
Suddenly, Julian spoke up with fervor, challenging his mother’s values. “Mom, you need
to take a long, hard look at yourself! Are power and profit truly all that matters to you?”
“Julian, how dare you-” Althea’s voice quivered with agitation. She was barely able to
catch her breath.
Undeterred, Julian pressed on. “I’m proud to have a sister like Ash! We should aspire to
uphold justice, fairness, love, and freedom in this world rather than bing ensnared
in the pursuit of power and profit!

all persist in opposing my rtionship with her, then I, too, will sever ties with the
Summerton family!”
