“Who?” The moment Raven’s voice fell, nearly everyone in the party hall turned to look toward the door.
When they saw Raven walking into the room, every one of them furrowed their brows.
‘A girl daring to speak so arrogantly, does she want to die?‘ They thought.
“Raven?” Ruth’s eyes widened when she saw Raven.
The next moment, Ruth hurriedly shouted at her, “Go! Raven, you need to leave here!”
Ruth knew all too well how merciless her father could be.
If Raven angered Franklin, he would show no mercy.
However, standing off to the side, Eddie’s breath suddenly quickened as he watched Raven walk into the room.

At that moment, he wondered, ‘It’s over. With Grandpa’s stubbornness, he will never let Ruth or Raven off easily. And with Raven’s ruthless personality, she won’t back down in front of Grandpa either.
‘Now, how do I stop Grandpa from clashing with Raven? How do I prevent the nightmare that is about to hit the Valor family?‘
But before Eddie could figure anything out, Franklin, upon hearing Ruth’s shout, looked at Raven, and his face immediately darkened. “So, you are the
bastard child she had outside?”
Boom!
When Eddie heard Franklin say those words, it felt as if something exploded in his mind.
‘Today might truly be the end,‘ Eddie thought.
Meanwhile, Raven’s steps faltered as she entered the party hall.
She then locked eyes with Franklin for two seconds before suddenly smiling. “Jerk, why is it that, despite being so old, you still don’t know how to say a
kind word?”
As soon as Raven finished speaking, the party hall was filled with gasps of disbelief.
At that moment, nearly every member of the Valor family looked at Raven with an expression of utter disbelief.
‘How can there be a woman so fearless, so willing to speak like that? She actually insults Mr. Valor so badly?‘ they wondered.
After the initial shock, the members of the Valor family looked at Ravon as if they were staring at a dead person.
Anyone who had already been seen as a disgrace by Franklin and was someone he wanted to eliminate; if they dared to speak like this and still walked out alive, Franklin’s dignity and the authority of the Valor family would be trampled on.
At the same time, Ruth’s face revealed deep astonishment.
When she saw Raven slap Margaret back then, she knew Raven wasn’t someone afraid of trouble,
But Ruth had never imagined that Raven would dare to speak to Franklin like that.
Still, Ruth did not tell Raven to be quiet or reprimand her.
Since Franklin had already so thoroughly trampled on them, Ruth saw no reason to care about family ties anymore,

Moreover, Ruth trusted Raven. Raven must have known the strength of the Valor family.
Since Raven dared to speak like that, she must have had the strength to back it up.
As Eddie heard Raven’s words, which showed no respect for Franklin, he finally realized that the Valor family was in big trouble.
Though Eddie knew Franklin most likely wouldn’t listen to him, he could not just sit by and watch the Valor family’s destruction unfold.
Eddie instinctively turned to Franklin and spoke, “Grandpa, you—”
But before Eddie could finish, Franklin suddenly raised his hand and pointed it at Raven’s nose. “How dare you.”
In his extreme anger, Eddie’s arm trembled uncontrollably.
He never imagined that a daughter born of a lowly man would dare speak to him in such a disrespectful manner.
Suddenly, he turned to several members standing nearby and ordered, “Someone, grab this ungrateful girl who doesn’t know how to respect her elders.”
He wouldn’t dirty his hands dealing with Raven.
To handle such a lowly creature, it would only sully his hands..
“Yes,” two middle–aged members quickly responded.
However, just as they were about to move toward Raven, Eddie suddenly stepped in front of them.
At the same time, Eddie looked anxiously at Franklin and said, “Grandpa, you can’t touch Raven.”
Franklin’s expression immediately darkened. “You not only want to protect your useless aunt, but now you want to protect the little bastard she gave birth to?”
At this moment, Franklin’s gaze toward Eddie had lost all warmth.
Franklin had previously thought that Eddie was simply lacking decisiveness.
But now, he was truly disappointed.

‘Looks like I should reconsider who will inherit the Valor family in the future,‘ Franklin thought.

Eddie took a deep breath upon hearing Franklin’s cold words and tried to persuade him. “Grandpa, please stop. If you don’t, not only will the Valor family never make it into Regalhold’s first–tier families, but the family itself will face the risk of destruction.”
Upon hearing Eddie’s alarmist words, Franklin’s eyes grew even colder. “Eddie, are you intentionally going against me?”
–Seeing that Franklin remained unmoved, Eddie anxiously glanced at Raven.
Eddie knew that Franklin was unlikely to believe him if he spoke plainly, but he was still struggling to find a way out. “Grandpa, even though Raven hasn’t personally made a move, Dane, Margaret, and even Jax all died because of her,

“Brigadier General Rex was even forced to retire because of her. Not only that, but she-
”
Before Eddie could continue, Franklin suddenly cut him off with a cold command. “Enough. Eddie, I think you’ve been blinded by her.
“Sure, in the eyes of the Valor family members/they’re nothing. But don’t forget one thing. She’s just a lowly commoner who was locked up in Bastion prison for five years and has just been released.”
He added, “What do you think she could have done to kill the most powerful figures in Bastion, Dane and Jax? Don’t talk about killing them, she doesn’t even have the right to see them.”
