Chapter 1272 Banished

• Inside the main house's living room, in the Smith residence, Chester sat on the couch, his face gloomy as he stared at Isabelle across from him. “I'm telling you this, not to seek your approval, but merely to inform you. Regardless of whether you agree or not, I must proceed in this manner. For the sake of hundreds of lives in our family, to preserve this vast family fortune, even if you are reluctant, you must endure it.”
• Isabelle abruptly rose from the couch, her voice seething with anger. “Are you really so useless? You can't even protect your own daughter.”
• Chester also stood up, his voice cold as he retorted, “Is this a matter of my usefulness? The one she has offended is the Hollett family. The Hollett family is the big shot in Golden Triangle. They had ended their collaboration with us. How would the prestigious families that rely on them for survival dare to associate with us? I noticed that even now, you still haven't fully grasped the severity of the situation. You don't understand just how terrifying it is to have offended the Hollett family. Once the day comes when you lose this life of luxury and wealth that you're currently living, you'll realize just how severe the consequences can be.”
