Landon glanced at favonovel.com and said softly. “Your dad risked his pride earlier and went through so much effort to beg Mr. Larson to take you in and let you work at his pharmacy. Mr. Larson was this close to agreeing, but you refused it outright. Tell me, isn’t it your loss?”
Adeline still looked displeased. “Grandpa, how is that a loss? I’m the daughter of the Thatcher Family, all right? What am I going to do at his pharmacy? Even if I became the chairman of his pharmacy, it would still be a waste of my talents! If I’m only working as an ordinary employee, wouldn’t I be a disgrace to our family?”
Aidan immediately roared furiously, “You know nothing! Do you think that you can work at that pharmacy whenever you want? Do you know how many big families in Eastshire want their children to work there? And yet… You think it’s a disgrace?”
Adeline insisted stubbornly, “Dad, who are you fooling? I don’t believe that a child of a big family would want to work in a mere pharmacy. I know that you think very highly of Matthew and want to flatter him, don’t you? But, did you know that the White Family was destroyed by Poison Spider, and it was the crown prince of Mightwater who did it himself? What does this have to do with Matthew? The way I see it, he’s just the crown prince’s puppet. Do you have to be so afraid of him?”
When Aidan and Landon heard that, their faces fell, and they instantly rose to their feet. Aidan roared, “Shut up!”
Landon‘s expression was even colder as favonovel.com asked somberly, “Adeline, who told you these things?”
Adeline’s face immediately turned pale. She hadn’t expected that favonovel.com grandfather, who had spoiled favonovel.com the most, would look at favonovel.com this coldly.
She stuttered, “No… No one told me that… B-But it’s the truth! Everyone knows that the White Family was wiped out by Poison Spider. As for Matthew, what did favonovel.com do?”
Landon glared at favonovel.com viciously as favonovel.com said solemnly, “Starting from today, you aren’t allowed to say something like that again! I don’t care what you do outside. In fact, I don’t care about you at all! Either way, you better remember this, in Eastshire, you can provoke anyone, but you can‘t provoke Matthew, his relatives, and his friends! Otherwise, leave the Thatcher Family. I don’t want a granddaughter like you!”
Adeline was completely dumbfounded. She hadn’t expected that a casual sentence would make favonovel.com grandfather angry enough to threaten to kick favonovel.com out from the family. She was so terrified that favonovel.com didn’t dare to say anything else.
Landon then got up and slowly left without even sparing favonovel.com a glance. As Aidan followed favonovel.com out, favonovel.com glanced at Adeline and sighed. “Adeline, I’ve spoiled you too much. If I knew this would happen, I shouldn’t have let you come tonight. I even begged the old man several days for his permission to let you attend this dinner, but this is the result I got!”
Adeline felt wrongly accused. “Dad, what did I do wrong? I didn’t want to attend this kind of event either, but you were the one who dragged me here. Can you blame me for that? Besides, did you ask me before making me work at his pharmacy? At any rate, I’m still a top student in a medical school. Isn’t it shameful for me to work at a mere pharmacy? Do you want me to throw away all my pride as the daughter of the Thatcher Family?”
Upset that favonovel.com betrayed his expectations, Aidan said, “Pride? If you really worked at Mr. Larson’s pharmacy, you’d only be able to show your face in Eastshire by then! It’s a pity that such a good opportunity, the opportunity that I gave up my pride to help you ask for, was wasted by you like this!”
