Chapter 499 Kneel
Therefore, after Eloise spoke, the surrounding people also joined in the usations, wishing they could
beat nche to death with
a stick.
nche clenched her teeth, her delicate body trembling slightly. However,pared to thest time
when these people said they wanted to marry her off to the Cunningham family, she was faring much
better.
Every obstacle experienced was a form of growth.
Therefore, nche did not lose herposure hysterically but listened to their usations with a cold
demeanor until they quieted down. She sneered, “Despicable and shameless losers!”
“What did you say?”
“Have you lost your mind, nche? We are your elders, yet you dare to insult us, calling us despicable
and shameless scoundrels? Who taught you to say such outrageous words?”
“I think she doesn’t even care about us. That’s why she couldn’t wait to tie our family with that madman,
Emrys back at the
restaurant.”
The crowd, who had already grown tired of hurling insults, found renewed energy upon hearing
nche’s words. Once again, they criticized her without holding back.
Alpheus‘ face was dark, his veins bulging in anger. He bellowed, “You’re bing more and more
unreasonable. This is yourst

chance. Kneel!”
“I won’t kneel!” nche insisted.
Bang!
Alpheus pped the adjacent solid wooden table, causing it to shatter. He stood up and strode toward
nche, raising his hand to strike.
nche didn’t dodge.
Instead, she raised her head defiantly, staring at Alpheus, and said, “Hit me!”

“You…”
Alpheus was so angry that his hand trembled, but ultimately, the p did notnd. He remembered the
last time nche had the same attitude.
yna hurriedly ran over to pull Alpheus away.
nche surveyed the angry crowd around her, sneering, “Mr. Lund was invited to the Langford family
by me. But why did I invite him? It was to help Grandpa recover. What did I do wrong? When Grandpa
was critically ill and on the verge of passing away, Mr. Lund saved him. So, when I said in the
restaurant that Mr. Lund is the benefactor of the Langford family, did I do something wrong? Mr. Lund is
our benefactor, but you deliberately concealed Mr. Lund’s actions out of fear that the anger from the
Russell family would affect you. Was I wrong in calling you shameless losers? Earlier at the restaurant,
when

Cillian questioned us, each of you yed dumb. Wasn’t it because you were afraid of offending Mr.
Lund that you wanted me to take the me? I just stated a fact, and now I’m getting scolded. Was I
wrong in calling you despicable? If you’re so capable, go tell Mr. Lund to his face that you want to
disassociate from him, instead of venting your anger on me, a young girl.”
The series of rhetorical questions from nche left the people of the Langford family speechless.
They ended up in this awkward situation because they neither wanted to offend the Russell family nor
Emrys. Therefore, they had no choice but to feign ignorance and let nche take the fall.
As a result, when nche’s response did not align with their wishes, they began to vent their anger on
nche.
This was a ssic case of acting meek and civil in public, but a tyrant at home.
Eloise and others were silenced by nche’s retorts. At this moment, Teagan stood up and said,
“nche, we know that what you said is true. However, in this world, many things are not judged based
on right or wrong; the key ispromise. If Emrys
offends the Russell family, he might die, but he might also be protected by the Mapleton family. But for
our family, once we board the wrong ship, who will protect us? Emrys? He can’t even protect himself!”
nche shook her head and responded, “That’s just your perspective. From my standpoint, there is a
clear distinction. between right and wrong.”

Teagan let out a sigh, frustrated by nche’sck of
understanding. He approached Samuel, who was scowling, and
inquired, “Dad, why did you refuse to let us keep an eye on
Emrys at the restaurant? What if he had actually fled?”
