Chapter 2039


    At the Davier residence, Clifford sat on his armchair and listened to Spook''s updates. No one could tell what Clifford was thinking, as there was no expression on his face.


    Raida, who kneeled before him, trembled in fear like amb waiting to be butchered.


    He was surrounded by the important members of the Davier family, their subordinates, and their servants.


    Spook took a deep breath and said, "Nathan also wanted you to know that he''d be happy to teach the Daviers a lesson if you''re not capable of doing


    so..."


    Upon hearing that, Clifford''s face turned pallid. "How dare he."N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Everyone lowered their heads and kept mum.


    They all knew Clifford was not in a good mood, and no one had the guts to offend him.


    Suddenly, Clifford''s brother, Valois, appeared, looking dispirited.


    "Clifford!" Valois greeted.


    Clifford responded in a cold voice, "How''s your useless and embarrassing daughter?"


    He was referring to Valois'' daughter, Sophia.


    Valois hated the way Clifford described his daughter but could only swallow his pride and remain silent.


    After all, Clifford was the patriarch of the Davier family.


    Besides, all the Daviers would still have to rely on Clifford to maintain their wealth and prestige.


    Valois answered awkwardly, "She''s awake now, but she locked herself in the room and cried for a long time."


    He immediately shot a sullen re at Raida and said to Clifford, "We''ve been trying to forge a diplomatic rtionship with the Chief Military Governor through marriage."


    "And Sophia admires the Governor so much that she wishes to marry him. There''s nothing wrong with it, isn''t it?


    "The only thing that went wrong was she was duped by an impostor!" Valois eximed.


    "It''s not fair to pin all the me on


    "


    Sophia, he continued, "She would


    have embarrassed herself if


    weren''t for this bastard!"

    Valois pointed at Raida and raised his voice. "All these happened all because he lied to my innocent daughter!"


    Everyone in the living hall started shooting daggers at Raida.


    Raida, who was already on his knees, was all tongue-tied. He bowed repeatedly and apologized.


    "Kill him," Valois suggested, "We must kill him to avenge my daughter."


    Raida gasped and begged in a hoarse voice. "Please don''t! Please..."


    Clifford responded calmly. "Stop begging. Death is the punishment you deserve."


    Raida could only look at Clifford in desperation as words just stuck in his throat.


    Clifford waved his hand in the air and ordered Spook, "Take him away and sh him." "Yes, Sir." Spook responded with a smirk.


    Everyone else in the family then watched Spook drag Raida out of the hall like a dog.


    They all knew Spook was Clifford''s most trusted right-hand man.


    Since Clifford wanted him to sh Raida, Spook would definitely do as he said and give thetter a slow


    and miserable death. Contelbet

    Clifford felt slightly better after punishing Raida.


    He took a sidelong nce at the people in the hall and said, shame t


    e that this happened it''s


    family. So, what should we do


    next?"


    All the family members started speaking at the same time to give their ideas.


    Feeling annoyed, Clifford snapped. "Enough!


    Valois, tell me what you have in mind?"
