Chapter 1231

Upon witnessing this turn of events, Neera felt somewhat surprised.

“Wasn’t Howard on Stella’s side? Why is he turning against her now?”

Upon hearing this, Darcel quietly explained, “The Logan family and the Jennings family may appear friendly, but they each have their own agendas. It’s just a facade of harmony. When it comes to their own interests, they prioritize those. In times of trouble, they will each fend for themselves. Stella is now trapped in a situation she cannot escape from, and for Howard, this is the only way to prevent the Logan family from getting involved.”

Charles chuckled. “Well, watching them turn on each other is quite satisfying. Howard is indeed a cunning person. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he turned against his own people without any mercy.”

Meanwhile, Howard coldly glanced at Stella, completely ignoring her, and continued accusing her of her crimes.

“Who would have thought that Stella didn’t want to stop the Gordon family at all, but intended to completely wipe them out? She harbored resentment against the Gordon family’s leader. She used my people and exploited many of Bartitsu Guild’s comrades to attack the Gordon family. During the night raid in the valley, we were acting under the orders of the Jennings family, deceived by them. Stella said we only needed to capture the Gordon family’s people, but once our people charged in, we realized that the Jennings family intended to take the lives of the Gordon family’s people. As for the mountain explosion, we were also caught off guard. We, the Logan family, were very angry about this matter, feeling that the Jennings family had gone too far.”

Stella stared at him in disbelief. “Howard, how dare you betray me to clear your own name?”

Howard gave her an impatient side-glance. “I’ve told you before, don’t be so reckless. You didn’t listen, and now that the truth is out, do you want to drag over a dozen guild families down with you? You made the mistake, why should we bear the consequences with you?”
