Chapter 1693: Chapter 1693

Alba was wondering what she could do to make her family change their minds.

She had to complete what she promised David.

This was the Fellowes family, and her, only hope.

Even if she failed in the end, she would have no regrets.

She had tried her best. She might fail, but at least she had a bit of hope.

If she did not try her best, she could only accept fate’s arrangement.

Alba’s living environment made her bound to not accept her fate obediently.

She had been working hard since she was young to go against her fate.

However, she never won.

She had lost so many times before. This time, she hoped things would change.

“Grandpa Val, I don’t want to be grounded. I still have something important to do, can you help me? I’m begging you. Just once. After this, I will accept the family’s arrangement obediently,” Alba pleaded.

Valerio was the person in charge of Treasure Trove, so he had a very high status in the family. Aside from the few Saint Realm grandmasters, he was second only to the head of the family.

Alba might have a chance if he was willing to help her.

“Alba, this was decided by the seniors. My hands are tied as well,” Valerio shook his head and said.

“I don’t believe you! Grandpa Val, you’re the person in charge of Treasure Trove and you overlook the entire company. You have such a high status in the family, so you certainly can help me,” Alba retorted.

“You have to tell me what’s so important! If you tell me and I agree, I’ll lower myself and speak for you in front of the head of the family so that you won’t be grounded.”

“I…” Alba was stunned.

She trusted her Grandpa Val completely.

However, Alba did not dare to tell him anything without David’s consent.

Plus, she would also need to mention David’s teacher, the hidden Sacred Saint, so that she would sound convincing-

It would be no use if David and his master were upset.

“Grandpa Val, I can’t tell you now, but can you trust me? This is not only for me but for the entire family,” Alba said seriously.

“Oh? For the family? Tell me then, what did you do for the family?” Valerio’s interest was piqued.

He watched Alba grow up.

This girl always had her own thoughts, and she was always trying her best to prove herself. She would never accept the family’s arrangement just like this.

However, as a woman, she still could not change her fate no matter how hard she fought.

Based on Valerio’s understanding of Alba, she would not speak without thinking nor spout nonsense.

Since she said it was for the family, there must be some secrets behind it.

However, what was it?

Valerio was curious.

“Grandpa Val, do you believe me?” Alba asked.

Valerio saw how serious Alba was, and she did not look like she was joking.

Combining their relationship and this girl’s previous performances, Valerio did not have any reason to doubt Alba.

“I do! However, you have to give a reason to convince the head,” Valerio replied.

“Thank you for trusting me! I still can’t tell you everything, but I can tell you that if I succeed, I might be able to help the family get out of our current predicament. This is the only trace of hope I found after so many years,” Alba said after taking a deep breath.

“Help the family out of what predicament?” Valerio could not understand for a while.

“Help the family out of the predicament of being slowly devoured by the Palmore family. Help the Fellowes family get back their freedom and not be restricted by anyone.”
