Chapter 1398
That was his little sister, alright.
Her insults were always so precise.
Brianna covered her mouth, her canines showing as she giggled.
Soon after, suppressed chuckles rippled through the crowd one after another.
Even Old Mr. Blackwood slapped his thigh. “Well said p>
Dominic’s composed facade completely crumbled.
His fingers tightened around his wine glass, and his tone turned icy. “Miss Lancaster, considering you just returned and don’t understand the true rules of Vaelion City, I can overlook that remark p>
“But you need to understand, the Lancaster family is powerful, but they can’t afford to disrespect everyone. If you have the Montgomery family’s support, your time in this circle will be much easier. Otherwise, relying purely on the Lancasters’ temporary favoritism might not keep you steady p>
This was a blatant threat.
Before her three brothers could react.
Old Mr. Blackwood completely lost it. He swatted away Old Mr. Lancaster’s restraining hand, stepped forward with his cane, and glared fiercely. “The Montgomery family, huh p>
“Come here, come tell this old man just how deep your Montgomery family’s foundation goes p>
“Support? Paving the way p>
“Since when did it become the Montgomery family’s turn to pave the way for the Lancasters and Blackwoods in Vaelion City p>
Sebastian hadn’t expected such a massive reaction from Old Mr. Blackwood. His expression changed slightly, and he quickly forced a smile. “Mr. Blackwood, you’re taking this too seriously p>
“Mutual admiration between young people is hardly a bad thing. As elders, we just see they look good together and mentioned it in passing p>
“Dominic simply admires Miss Lancaster. If our two families were to unite, it would naturally benefit both the Lancasters and the Montgomerys p>

“Mr. Blackwood Sebastian’s smile faltered. “We mean well. After all, Miss Lancaster just returned and her footing is indeed unsteady. If she could get the Montgomery family’s support and guidance, it would p>
Before he could finish.
A deep, lazy voice drifted from the back of the crowd. “She needs your guidance? She needs your support p>
The voice was indolent and casual, carrying a faint sense of nobility and an undeniable, oppressive weight.
The crowd instinctively turned toward the sound.
A man dressed in a dark suit, exuding an aloof and noble aura, approached at a leisurely pace.
His breathtakingly handsome face held no emotion.
His steps were slow and unhurried.
Yet the moment he appeared.
The atmosphere in the venue inexplicably shifted.
The onlookers’ expressions turned intrigued.
In Vaelion City’s top tier, who didn’t know Nicholas Blackwood?
The Blackwood Crown Prince.
He seemed noble and lazy, but his methods were ruthless. He was not to be provoked.
However, Dominic had spent the last few years behind the scenes with his family. Believing in his own superiority he rarely bothered learn about the so-called public elites.
Nicholas also rarely made public appearances.
Especially with his wildly attractive face, Dominic instinctively assumed he was just another young
trying to get close to se mak
Dominic’s face instantly turned cold. “And who are you p>
Nicholas didn’t answer.
He walked straight to Serena, his eyes lifting slightly as a thin smile curved ms lips. Sorry to keep you waiting, Serena p>
Serena cast a lazy glance at him. “I wasn’t waiting for you p>

Nicholas chuckled softly. “Right, you weren’t waiting for me, but I missed you p>
