NovelGoldChapter 1052:
Aelfric was rendered speechless.
Everett was the head of the Brock family, and how he dealt with his sister was indeed out of Aelfric’s purview. He
wasn’t even in a position to express his feelings for Chloe. He could only press his lips into a thin line and fin
silence.
Everett snorted when he saw this. “Whatever thoughts you have toward my sister, Mr. Warren, you'd better
forget them right now. Our families will never be united by marriage, so you might as well abandon that idea
while it’s not too late.”
Aelfric never expected Everett to see right through him so soon. “Why?” he demanded. “Do you find me
unworthy of Chloe, Mr. Brock?”
Everett didn’t hold back. “Chloe is clumsy and foolish. | assure you, Mr. Warren, you are more than worthy of her.
It is the Warren family that cannot match the Brock family. If she makes the mistake of getting together with you,
she can forget about her roots. | will disown her and remove her from the family registry.”
“You—" Aelfric roared as all the color drained from his face. He never imagined Everett to be this merciless. He
didn’t even bother to sugarcoat his words!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAelfric had to take a while to temper his anger, but even then, he spoke through gritted teeth. “Have | offended
you in sway, Mr. Brock?”
“Please, you don’t even have the ability to offend me,” Everett replied blandly. With that, he turned and walked
away without a backward glance.

Aelfric’s hands closed around the armrests of his wheelchair, his eyes blazing with hatred. How could Everett
dismiss him like that? Was it because he had lost his position as the deputy chief instructor at Doomsday Base?
Then, as if Everett had heard his thoughts, the man suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned on his heel, and
walked back to Aelfric.
Before Aelfric knew it, Everett was standing before him, throwing more mocking words his way.
“Even if you were still the deputy chief instructor at Doomsday Base, the Warren family would still not hold a
candle to the Brock family, Mr. Warren.”
With that sharp remark, Everett spun on his heel and strode toward Paul, leaving Aelfric fuming in silence.
Aelfric’s grip on his wheelchair’'s armrests was so tight they threatened to splinter under the pressure.
For years, being the deputy chief instructor at Doomsday Base had been the feather in his cap. It symbolized his
grit and determination, the very qualities that had propelled the Warren family to becone of Blebert’s top
four households. It was his pride, his badge of honor. Yet, in Everett's eyes, none of that seemed to matter. The
man dismissed his achievements like dust on a mantelpiece.
