Mitchell Family, Council Chamber.
Upon hearing Madam Mitchellâs command, the servants hurried away, not daring to hesitate for even a moment.
Even those with foreign surnames, like the widow of a deceased elder, had no right to sit here.
At this moment, apart from Fendy Taylor and Madam Mitchell, only the members of the Mitchell family remained in the council chamber.
âMadam, what do you mean by this?â Watching everyone leave, Fendy Taylor squinted her eyes, a chilling glint flashed through them.
Hearing this, the old lady spoke unhurriedly: âFendy, donât be nervous, we are doing this to protect you.â
âProtect me? Then I should thank you first.â Fendy Taylor responded sarcastically, her words devoid of politeness.
In her view, the Mitchells were apparently preparing to interrogate her, so there was no need to be polite.
Her son would be coming home soon, and even if the Mitchells wanted to bring her down now, they would have to kneel down and beg for her forgiveness as soon as her son returned.
With this thought in mind, Fendy Taylor became even more arrogant.
Seeing this, Madam Mitchell squinted her eyes, a chilling glint flashing within them as well.
Over the years, despite sitting in the Family Headâs position, she had been continuously restrained by Fendy Taylor.
If it hadnât been for her influential brother, Madam Mitchell might have driven her out of the mansion long ago.
Although Madam Mitchell wasnât particularly capable, under her leadership, the Mitchell Family not only didnât progress, but even regressed.
However, Madam Mitchell held onto power tightly. Anyone who dared to take it from her would be dealt with by all means, even if they were blood relatives of the family.
White Mitchellâs father was secretly eliminated by her in this manner.
Even the issues surrounding White Mitchellâs mother were manipulated by her, forcing his mother to commit suicide at sea, with her body never recovered.
After all, White Mitchellâs father wasnât her biological child, and like Fendy Taylor, was a member brought into the family by marriage.
She had climbed from an unappreciated spoiled daughter of a wealthy family to where she was today, step by step, always cautious, until she finally became the Family Head.
How could she allow anyone else to sleep peacefully on her couch?
With this thought in mind, Madam Mitchell smirked coldly and then looked at Fendy Taylor with a meaningful expression: âFendy, Iâve heard recently that thereâs been an issue in the Taylor Family. As a member of the Taylorâs, have you not heard any rumors?â
Taylor Family member?
Hearing these three words, Fendy Taylor couldnât help but sneer in her heart, quietly cursing Madam Mitchell for her cunning.
When Madam Mitchell used her to eliminate White Mitchellâs birth mother years ago, she had not referred to her as such.
She remembered Madam Mitchell holding her hand back then, frequently calling her an obedient daughter-in-law and saying she was one of our own.â
So now, when trouble befell the Taylors, she said Fendy was from their family?
It was truly ironic, truly ridiculous!
âMadam, since you called me here, you should know just as much as I do. If somethingâs up, just say it. What rumors have you heard and how do you intend to handle it?â Fendy Taylor cut straight to the chase.
âImpudence! Youâre just a junior, how dare you speak to your elder like that? Arenât there any respect left in your eyes!?â An elder of the Mitchell family yelled, banging the table.
Fendy Taylor wasnât someone to be trifled with either. On such a critical juncture, the more she showed weakness, the more she would be bullied.
âNow you remember to talk about respect for age and hierarchy!? Where was this talk when you asked me to borrow money from my maternal home, or when you were accepting my favors!?â Fendy Taylor said coldly, not giving an inch in terms of momentum.
âLawless! Absolutely lawless!â The elder who was countered roared in shame and anger, pointing at Fendy Taylor and repeating his words.
Seeing this, Fendy Taylor snorted coldly, clearly uninterested in acknowledging him.
At the same time, another elder, seeing Fendy Taylorâs arrogance, immediately looked towards Madam Mitchell and suggested: âMadam, it was your kindness that brought her here to give her the chance to speak the truth, and yet look at her?
Not only does she lack gratitude, she also speaks with disrespect here.
I believe she is simply like a shrew. Allowing her to stay in the Mitchell Family would be a complete disgrace to our family name!â
âIâm a shrew?â
âI am a disgrace?â
âHa ha haâ¦.â
Upon hearing this, Fendy Taylor burst into a laugh that filled the air, every note dripping with irony.
Then, Fendy Taylorâs eyes hardened, her gaze cold and sharp, fell onto each and every individual present: âAll of you talk like youâre all saints, youâve been waiting for this day for a long time, havenât you? It must have been hard on all of you old folks. Who knows, one day you might drop dead before today actually comes!
So, because my family, the Taylors, have encountered trouble, you assume I have no one to rely on? Do you really have to be so secretive and indirect? The dog bites even before the rabbit is dead. Iâve seen more than you can count, I was on the streets of the capital when I was just a teen, Iâve seen people like you before!
Even so, when it comes to hypocrisy, the Mitchells outshine everyone. Each one of you is an expert at this, you canât even be honest to your own people, ha ha haâ¦..â
âSheâs gone mad, sheâs mad!â The elders gasped in frustration. Even Madam Mitchell, sitting in the seat of power, was starting to lose her composure.
âIâm mad?â
Fendy Taylor laughed coldly again, staring at everyone present as she continued with her mockery: âWhat, when your true face is revealed by an outsider like me, you canât stand to bear it? But donât rush, today isnât all of you planning to deal with me? Why, are you already planning to kick me out?
Donât rush, I have plenty of your dirty laundry in my hands. Wouldnât it be better and more exciting, if I can slowly remind you, one by one, of every incident?â
Upon hearing her words, the faces of the people in the Mitchell family instantly turned pale.
âFendy Taylor, what do you mean!?â An elder retorted angrily.
Hearing this, Fendy Taylor immediately sat down, and replied leisurely: âNo specific meaning, since someone wants to make my life difficult, then we might as well part ways for good!â
Part ways for good?
Upon hearing these words, the elders of the Mitchell family all showed an apprehensive expression. They didnât expect Fendy Taylor, having lost Taylor Familyâs support, to not only not become weak, but instead become even sharper.
Could it be, this was her true self?
All along, the elders of the Mitchell family had only seen her as a pawn sent by the Taylor Family, a pawn to be manipulated.
However, they didnât expect when Fendy Taylor bared her fangs, they would be so sharp!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
For a moment, the looks on everyoneâs faces became rather peculiar.
