Chapter 72: The Ancestral Hall’s Confession

“Audrey?” Calder looked at his daughter with a complicated expression. “Why did you come back now?”

If he was alone, he would be able to fight against the elders of the major clans, such as Pierre and Houston.

But if Audrey was involved…

“It’s good that you’re back.” The famous fifth elder of the Davis family sneered. “Audrey, you and your father Calder have disregarded the rules of the Davis family. What kind of place did you think the Davis family was?”

“Let me tell you, Audrey. Today, you must come with us to the ancestral hall and apologize to the ancestors of the Davis family!”

Stubborn old fellows.

Audrey’s eyes were covered with a thick layer of ice and snow. The storm around her was about to go out of control.

Right now, she could not deal with so many people at once. Audrey gritted her teeth in frustration.

Adding the years in her past and present life, she was at least a hundred years old. This was the first time she felt so powerless.

The Grand Elder, Pierre, gave the guards beside him a look. A group of guards instantly swarmed over and surrounded Audrey.

Calder sighed. “Alright, let’s go to the ancestral hall.”

…

The ancestral hall was located in the deepest part of the Davis family. The three-story building was heavily guarded inside and out.

The guards pushed Calder and Audrey into the room. Behind them came the hypocritical words of elder Pierre, “Kneel, Calder and Audrey. You owe all of us from the Davis family an explanation.”

Audrey sneered, “Kneel? Why should I kneel before you?”

Even before she had taken that supreme position in her previous life, no one had ever asked Audrey to kneel to anyone. Now, an old man who was about to die had the guts to ask her to kneel.

“How dare you, Audrey. Is this what your father, Calder, has been teaching you all day?” The elder of the large family, Pierre, and Houston, sat safely in the highest position, “No wonder you were so uneducated since you were young. It turns out that Calder has spoiled you.”

How ironic. This was really too ironic.

The elders of the Davis family had raised Audrey by mentioning the Davis family. Still, Audrey herself did not see the slightest bit of care and concern from the Davis family from the memories of her original body.

It was only because of Audrey’s powerful mother.

After her mother left, there were many scars on Audrey’s body that Calder could not see. However, she had never shed a tear.

She did not want to trouble her father, nor did she understand why her mother chose to leave.

The old Audrey thought it was all her fault, so she would rather be ridiculed than ask Calder for help.

But in fact, what did Audrey do wrong?

It was just that this group of hypocritical old fogeys wanted something from the Davis family.

They had no guts to do it themselves, so they found a false accusation.

Logically speaking, Audrey had so many excellent qualities, and she was not like the idiots of the Fairlie family in terms of brains. She would definitely be a very excellent Qi practitioner.

Audrey pulled out a cold smile. “They’re just a bunch of trash who covet my father’s position. What right do you have to ask the patriarch’s daughter to kneel before a bunch of elders? You really think too highly of yourselves.”

Houston choked for a moment, his expression extremely ugly. “That was in the past. Haven’t you and your father already separated from the Davis Family? Then treat them as a sinner who defected to the Davis family.”

“Sinner?” Audrey laughed out loud. “What is your definition of the word ‘sinner’?

“Is it that you’ve devoted yourself to the Davis clan for such a long period of time without receiving any benefits, and you still allow your daughter to be bullied by you?”

The Great Clan Elder, Pierre, said angrily, “Audrey, that’s enough! I finally understand why you’ve only begun to break through now. You’re too vicious! Guards, take Audrey away. Make her kneel in the courtyard and reflect on her actions!”

“Also, our Davis family doesn’t owe you anything, Audrey. You brought this upon yourself.”

Grand Elder Pierre snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with light.
