If the Summerton family suffers any losses, don’t blus for not warning you beforehand!” “We completely understand, Mr. Tanner. This is just a small gesture from us. | assure you, we will ensure Ashton behaves appropriately!” Althea hastened to placate him, even summoning a servant to present a card to Steven. She couldn't afford to offend such a crucial figure in the Chamber of Commerce! Especially after learning of the Tanner family’s collaboration with the Airspace Group, if the Tanners decided to turn against the Summerton family, they would be in serious 1/7 11:29 Fri, Apr 19 M Chapter 1467 Well Said trouble.

With a contemptuous snort, Steven made his exit in a grand manner.

In truth, the Tanner family wasn’t exceptionally powerful, but they had one advantage- they boasted numerous male heirs. With Aidan out of the picture, there were plenty of other heirs eager to step into his shoes! Steven's primary goal in seeking revenge for his son was to exploit the situation and subjugate the Summerton family under the authority of the Tanner family, bringing them to their knees.

“You shouldn’t have yielded to the Tanner family so easily, Althea!” Once the Tanner family members left, Zaiden wasted no tin voicing his discontent.

Althea had helped him navigate various social complications over the years, but he thought her handling of this situation was inappropriate.

“What do you suggest we do, then? Wait for the Tanner family to make a move against us before giving in?” Althea was incensed. “The Tanner family has allied with the Witchona Chamber of Commerce, Airspace Group, and other factions, with Teddy Tanner backing them. If we provoke them, we're courting disaster. I'd rather suffer sfinancial loss than invite such trouble upon us!” Zaiden didn’t want to argue with her, so he stopped fussing over the money. The Summerton family wasn’t short on funds anyway, but they needed to address the issue at hand.

“Quickly, summon Ashton back home!” Zaiden promptly instructed the servants.

3/7 11:29 Fri, Apr 19 MG Chapter 1467 Well Said “Save the trouble. I'm already back.” Before the servants could act, Ashton strode in, still clad in her police uniform, likely having cdirectly from the police station.

“Ashton, are you trying to worry us to death?” Althea exclaimed, visibly trembling with anger as she pointed accusingly at her.

Before Althea could launch into her lengthy lecture, Ashton interjected firmly, “Mom,.

Dad, I'm a police officer. | stand for justice and the law! it “Emmanuel acted in self-defense when he killed Aidan. Aidan got what he deserved. If you expectto abandon protecting Emmanuel and align with the Tanner family, then you might as well disown me! “Ill leave this house right now, and | won't be returning!” 11:29 Fri, Apr 19 M Chapter 1467 Well Said “Why you...” Althea was so shaken by Ashton’s words that she clutched her chest tightly.

In noble families, children were often seen as investments.

However, she never anticipated Ashton’s unwavering loyalty to the son-in-law of the Quillen family and her willingness to sever ties with the Summerton family to protect him.

Why did | spend over twenty years raising her then? “Zaiden, you're the head of the family! Talk ssense into her! Are you going to allow her to act recklessly and do as she pleases?” Aware of Ashton’s fiery temper, Althea opted to avoid a direct confrontation and instead implored Zaiden to take action.

5/7 11:29 Fri, Apr 19 MA Chapter 1467 Well Said Zaiden released a weary sigh and lit a cigarette.

Ashton seldom saw her father smoke, making it clear that he was genuinely upset now.

“Well said, Ash!” To Althea’s astonishment, it seemed that her children were all voicing their grievances one after another.

Suddenly, Julian spoke up with fervor, challenging his mother’s values. “Mom, you need to take a long, hard look at yourself! Are power and profit truly all that matters to you?” “Julian, how dare you-" Althea’s voice quivered with agitation. She was barely able to catch her breath.

Undeterred, Julian pressed on. “I'm proud to have a sister like Ash! We should aspire to uphold justice, fairness, love, and freedom in this world rather than becoming ensnared in the pursuit of power and profit! 11:29 Fri, Apr 19 MIKA Chapter 1467 Well Said 5 87% “Since Ash had the courage to speak her truth, | will do the same.
