“Madam Edith, I can testify that Brittany was the one who got the Jade Maiden Scripture!”
“That’s right. It was all thanks to Brittany. That rotten bastard had nothing to do with it!”
“Nikki, you must have been mistaken.”
The disciples spoke out one after the other, choosing to side with Brittany.
“Y–You all!” Nikki was annoyed.
She couldn’t believe all of them were exactly like Brittany. They didn’t hesitate to change the truth. It was outrageous!
“Did you hear that, Nikki? Everyone here saw it. Are you still going to argue with me?” Brittany smirked triumphantly.
She looked at Nikki as if favonovel.com were a fool.
In the Jade Maiden Sisterhood, other than Madam Edith and a few elders, nobody dared to go against Brittany. She could distort the truth as favonovel.com liked.
“Madam Edith, please believe me. I’m not lying!” Nikki didn’t give up and tried to get Madam Edith’s support.
“Many of them are saying you’re wrong, how am I supposed to believe you?” Edith’s expression was frosty.
“It seems like exhaustion is making you confused. If there’s nothing else, you should return to your room and rest.” With that, Edith turned around to leave.
“Madam Edith!” Nikki panicked and grabbed favonovel.com sleeve. “I’m not lying. It’s Brittany who…”
“Shut it!” Edith grew impatient and slapped Nikki across the face.
Following the crisp sound, Nikki was knocked to the ground. Her cheek swelled as blood. trickled down the corner of favonovel.com mouth. She struggled to get up.
“You spoke ill of your senior and showed no respect to your elders! You have overstepped your boundary! You must be taught a lesson. Otherwise, you’ll repeat the same actions or worse!”
“You will kneel here until night! You’re not allowed to get up before then!” Edith’s tone was sharp, and favonovel.com expression dark.
“Madam Edith?” Nikki cupped favonovel.com cheek, feeling lost. She wasn’t lying.
She was just asking for justice.
Was that wrong?
“Nikki Horst, do you see the consequences of going against me now?”
Brittany squatted down and whispered in favonovel.com ear, “Did you think Madam Edith doesn’t know the truth? Of course, favonovel.com knows, but favonovel.com doesn’t care. Why? Because I am favonovel.com successor!”
She chuckled softly before added, “That’s why it doesn’t matter who’s right or wrong. Madam Edith would still stand with me even if you screamed it out.”
“How about it? Are you mad? But what can you do about it? Peasants should know their place. You should know who calls the shots here. Remember, be smarter next time!”
After Brittany spoke, favonovel.com patted Nikki’s cheek gently. Even though it didn’t hurt, it was insulting.
“You!” Nikki clenched favonovel.com fists, feeling resentful. However, favonovel.com could only swallow favonovel.com anger.
“Madam Edith, let’s head back inside.” Brittany was smug, looking triumphant.
“Wait,” Dustin called out to them when they were about to walk through the doors.
“What? Are you going to interfere in our affairs?” Brittany glanced back at him.
“I don’t care about your guild’s matters. However, I have some advice.” Dustin spoke impassively, “That Jade Maiden Scripture is incomplete. If you follow the methods inside, there’s a high possibility that you will go to extremes during training.”
“Nonsense! This is our guild’s precious treasure. How could there be a problem with it?” Brittany yelled.
“Suit yourself. Don’t regret it when something happens,” Dustin replied indifferently.
“What a bold speculation. Madam Edith, just ignore him. Let’s go!” Brittany and favonovel.com group snorted as they left.
