Hezti was not familiar with the layout of Lawrence Manor.

After a while, he finally arrived at the solemn and dignified council chamber.

As soon as he entered the chamber, Hezti could feel that the atmosphere was tense.

About twenty Lawrence family members stood around, whereas James sat at the main seat surrounded by Keith and a few older people.

Hezti guessed that those older people were the Lawrence family’s elders.

Jordan, who Hezti taught a lesson before he left the house this morning, appeared miserable as he sat on a chair nearby.

Jordan was bandaged, and he stared at Hezti with a spiteful gaze.

“Lydia! You dare to enter?!”

Hezti just entered the room when he heard a loud and angry voice.

Then, Hezti looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in his fifties standing behind Jordan, who appeared somewhat similar to Jordan.

“If I don’t enter, are you going to carry me in?” Hezti sneered as he glanced at him.

“You!” The man widened his eyes in anger, and his face was flushed.

He was so furious that he could not form a proper sentence.

Keith, who sat at the seat of honor, finally spoke, “James! Just look at Lydia’s attitude! How can our Lawrence family accept him! He’s just a son-in-law who’s entering our family! Wait, he has yet to enter our family officially, yet he’s already so arrogant! If we allow him to enter our family, we won’t know peace anymore! I think we should just break the marriage contract and chase him away!”

An elder who sat beside Keith chimed in, “I agree with Master Keith.

Lydia’s a bad apple.

He strained our relationship with the Yates family last time, and they are yet to accept our apology.

Harold, who Lydia injured, also did not say anything about it until today.

Moreover, what’s more ridiculous is that he actually dared to hit one of our own family members! I don’t think he regards himself as a son-in-law at all!”

Another person sitting at the seat of honor also added in a ghastly tone, “Perhaps he thinks he’s the head of the family, and the Lawrence family relies on him to survive.”

“He actually brings his weapon into the council chamber! He doesn’t respect us at all!”

“He’s simply heinous!”
