“When my father was still around, and the Windt family was at the height of its power, and all of you sucked up to us like a bunch of dogs. But when the Windt family went through difficult times, all of you were nowhere to be found. And now you have the gall to discipline me as my elders? I call that muck.”
She then let out a cold laugh. “Aren’t you scared that God might strike you down?”
At that point, her uncles were so furious that their faces had gone red. “Is… Is this how you should be talking to us?”
