"I''ve never needed to consult my father in the things I do!"


    Lifting the hem of her gown, Rose went over to Melody. Immediately, a bodyguard stepped forward to


    pull out a chair for her. Hundreds of eyes in the venue focused on her.


    Melody was a bit nervous at that moment. She had met Rose once in Xanthalos. Rose seemed


    much more humble in Nash''s presence back then.


    Now, she was letting her demeanor as an heiress of a top-tier wealthy run wild. Even the chairperson of


    a hundred-billion corporation was overwhelmed.


    "I burned down the Inspection Office when I was eight." Rose slowly sat down, her beautiful eyes


    fixed on Luther calmly as she continued, "There may be things my father doesn''t dare do in Eastjon,


    but there''s absolutely nothing I fear to do!"


    At the ncos'' family home in Eastjon, the family was sitting in the living room watching television. The


    screen was showing live footage of the event at dwell Sales Office.


    The cigarette in Yelzog''s hand was almost burning his fingers. Shakily, Feruz lit his half cigarette that


    had gone out some time ago.


    He was mad. Even madder than his father! Affluence Group was much more formidable than Eastjon


    Group. If a full-scale war were to break out, they would suffer more than whatever they unleashed on


    their enemy.


    Yelzog bent over and lifted a bottle of aged liquor from the coffee table, taking a few gulps before


    exhaling and saying, "Old man, you see that? That''s my daughter. Does your girl have guts like this?"


    Feruz pped Yelzog on the back of his head. "Keep spoiling her, then!"


    In Jonford, outside dwell Sales Office, the scene was eerily quiet. The only sound was that of the


    baby in Hera''s arms sucking on a bottle.


    Annoyed by the noise, Luther took a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled it quickly without even


    bringing the smoke into his lungs.

    His sharp eyes were fixed on Rose''s face through the smoke. She was beautiful yet incredibly


    arrogant. "Then let''s try it out," he said softly.


    The elders of Affluence Group had long been displeased with the King of Eastjon. If Rose were to


    start a war, Affluence Group had no qualms about meeting it head-on.


    Elrog immediately stepped forward to mediate the situation. "Mr. Marcon, it''s not good to harm the


    peace over seating arrangements."


    This niece of his was too damn arrogant. Even more so than her father. Was she really going to get into


    a fight with Affluence Group? Was she not afraid of getting burned?


    Luther nced at Elrog. "Is this just about seating arrangements? This is about Affluence Group''s


    reputation!"


    Elrog smiled wryly. "How about I arrange another table for you?"


    "Mr. Elrog, if you dare to set up a table just for him, I''ll have my father kick you out of the family


    tomorrow!" Rose lifted her wine ss.


    elegantly and raised an eyebrow at Melody. "Shall we drink?"


    Melody smiled broadly. "A lot can change in three days. It''s best to look at each other with new eyes!"


    The two clinked sses and then tilted back their pale necks, downing their drinks while hundreds


    watched them.


    Luther''s expression grew darker and darker. Here he was standing, and they were drinking? How could


    they disregard him so tantly?


    Elrog''s shirt under his ck suit was already soaked with cold sweat. He dared not question Rose''s


    words. If Rose had said this privately, he might have dismissed her or scolded her.


    However, with Rose saying this in front of so many prominent figures, he definitely had no choice but


    to support her. Otherwise, the King of Eastjon would make a fuss. "You sure talk big, huh, nco girl?


    Do you really think Eastjon belongs to the ncos?"
