Chapter 490 Adina 43
"That's enough," the female mage nodded slightly: "It just so happens that there are a group of children of the right age in the clan."
Catherine couldn't hold it in anymore: " Granduncle, don’t you care about Lilith? You used to love her.”
The female mage smiled and said, “This is your home and that of Saint Adina. How can we intervene? Her Majesty did not abandon the Edmonds family. We are very pleased with this result."
"Yes, this situation is already the best outcome. "The white-haired old man also sighed: "But in order to appease the grievances of the saint, I propose to hold an election for the head of the family as soon as possible."
Catherine couldn't sit still at all. Although her daughter Lilith was important, she would never accept it if her husband lost his position as the head of the family because of this.
"Uncle, would you like to think about it again? Dumont has been working hard to take care of the family these years...Isn't it unfair to him that you suddenly want to replace him?"
Old man He sighed: "It's not that we want to replace him, but that the family needs to take sides. A seven-star dark saint and the strong rise of the dark temple, and a two-star light mage and the declining light temple behind her, Can you tell me what the family should choose?”
Catherine bit her lip: “But when Lilith became the Saint of Light, everyone fully supported her, so why did she change now?”
< br>"It's a shame that as the wife of the family, you can't even see through this." The female mage was a little disappointed: "The family's side is never for a certain person, but for a certain camp."
"Everyone knows how to choose between the rising Temple of Darkness and the sunsetting Temple of Light. They are nothing more than winners and losers. Betting on both ends is the biggest taboo. Although it is possible to avoid risks, it also leaves the world with fence-sitters. "
The somewhat irritable old mage spoke more directly: "Whether Lilith can still hold her position as the Saint of Light is still unknown. You are just crying to us now. I just hope that the family will be at odds with the Dark Temple in order to make amends for Lilith.”
Katherine could only remain speechless after being told what her uncles were thinking. Now she also understands that it is impossible for people to stand on her and Lilith's side when it comes to family matters, but what will her Lilith do?
Lilith has gone completely crazy: "She made my life a mess, and now she has come clean to me? Where can it be so cheap? I just made a small mistake when I was young It was a mistake, but she basically ruined my future!"
Dennis was extremely calm now: "The little mistake you said made Adina linger on the bed for so many years. What did the pastor say back then? If you don’t take a good rest, your life span may end at fifty. Is this still a small matter in your opinion?”
Lilith stared at Dennis in surprise: "I am your sister, and you actually help her speak?"
Dennis spread his hands: "I'm not helping anyone, I'm just discussing the matter. I kept thinking about it on the way back. , she is your sister and your daughter, Why don't you show any care and kindness to her? "
"I'm not qualified to say anything to you, I'm not good at what I do, and I never took care of her when she was still in the family," Dennis laughed to himself. Laughing: "Now I particularly agree with what she said, since there is no common ground If you are in trouble, you are not qualified to share the glory."
"We lived a prosperous life in the imperial capital, and she was bleeding and fighting outside. Now that she has a bright future, I really have no shame in complaining about me. Standing on your side, I just want to ask you, after so many years, you Have you ever thought about her? "
"No? You and your little sisters were having fun, and you didn't think about what you had done to others. No matter how much hurt, I still live with peace of mind.”
"Especially when I think about the shop and estate that my mother gave us, I feel even more panicked. What's the difference between this and buying life money?"
"Uncles, I'm going back to my room to rest first." Dennis After going out, Dennett looked left and right, and finally stood beside Dumont.
The female mage sighed: "Dennis is not bad, but it's a pity that he is your son."
Dumont's shoulders completely collapsed: "Uncle, I have nothing When I thought that something like this would happen, it seemed like the sky had changed overnight. I remember when she was little, just lying on the bed..."
The uncles also sighed: "The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say anything else. Let's hold a family meeting tomorrow. You have achieved nothing in these years, and you understand the reason."
"I understand it all," Dumont gritted his teeth: "Even if she is not Her Majesty the Saint of the Dark Temple, as long as my daughter belongs to a different camp, I cannot become the head of the family."
"It's good that you understand, if only you had treated her better back then. How could such a loving heart lead to such a situation?" The old mage tapped his wand: "Sometimes if you make a wrong move, you will never be able to look back."
Everyone is talking about family matters. After leaving, only Dumont, Catherine, Lilith and Dennett were left in the front hall. Catherine was the most panicked now, and the scene she feared most had indeed appeared.
Once Dumont steps down as the head of the family, how will she still hang out in the circle of ladies in the imperial capital? She will only be ostracized and marginalized. Faced with this anticipated situation, she had no way to deal with it.
"Let's go back." Dumont finally stood up, but after taking two steps, he staggered. Dennett hurriedly supported him.
"Father, are you okay?"
"It's okay," Dumont stood up straight: "It's okay, I'm going back to the room first."
Pushing away Catherine's intention Holding his arm, Dumont moved towards the bedroom step by step. Who should he blame for all this now? Blame Catherine for being partial? Blame Lilith for being jealous?
But what he should blame most is himself. It is he who does not have a bowl of water that is even. If he had taught his children well and impartially, even if Adina was later detected to have the undead talent, he would still have been able to find a way to protect her.
Why is there any need for her to plan for herself at such a young age?
Perhaps she was thinking about Dumont, so Catherine only had a few bites of dinner and then went back to the bedroom. When she opened the door, she found that Dumont was not in the bedroom, and Catherine immediately became anxious.
Finally, she searched around and found Dumont sitting opposite Dennis on the third-floor terrace. Catherine didn't go up either, just quietly listening to the conversation between the two under the terrace.
"Father, please drink less. It will not be good for my uncles to see you drunk tomorrow." Dennis advised. He knew that Dumont felt uncomfortable. It can be said that the whole family did not People feel comfortable.
