Chapter 69:


    ire quietly sighed, not opening her eyes as she said without hurry, “I really feel a little regret,ing to find him.”


    Then ire fell silent, not saying anything anymore.


    Him? The schr, Camille? Jean was puzzled.


    ire felt somewhat gloomy. Was it lucky that she found out about those facts today?


    Why did she feel an invisible drawing close, and then continuously tighten, tighten...


    “ire, don’t be this fidgety. The situation will definitely be settled. Don’t forget, Duke Gordan is able to keep the Hill n towering, naturally he is very capable. Your father and your elder brothers are all not to be trifled with.” Walter consoled ire.


    Father? Elder brothers? ire became a bit muddle headed, feeling that these two phrases were unfamiliar. Now that Walter brought it up, ire remembered that indeed, she really did had a father and two elder brothers who all seemed to dislike her. And up until now, she hadn’t met them before except for the one time at the two countries’petition when she saw her second brother, the man who had be the captain of the Griffin Squad at such a young age.


    The next day, ire and Lashia went to sses together. ire told the maids to take good care of Summer and Ben, then repeatedly warned the two not to get into trouble. Only then did she leave.


    But right after ire just had a peaceful morning at school, at noon, someone came, flustered, reporting to ire that there was a mishap at the Duke’s castle, and he wanted ire to go back quickly. If she didn’t go back, the ck clothed man she brought back was about to flip the Hill castle over.


    “What on earth is going on?” ire sat in the carriage, a faint trace of anger in her voice. Before leaving, she had repeatedly warned that uneducated dragon. Perhaps that idiot forgot it all? Not long after she left, he had actually made such a ruckus, it was about to get out of hand.


    “The, the Marquis came back.” The servant answered cautiously.


    “The Marquis?” ire was confused.


    “It’s Miss’s father.” The servant was also confused as he answered.


    “Oh. What does that have to do with Ben making a ruckus?” ire didn’t understand. If he came back, then he just came back. She had the impression that man didn’t like ire one bit, so much that it could be said he loathed her.


    “Because... Because the Marquis said some unttering words about Miss, so, so the guests you brought back weren’t happy.” The servant said, exceptionally cautious.


    “Oh, what did he say?” ire raised a brow and coldlyughed. Some unttering words? Perhaps it’s not as simple as that?


    “Be more thorough about the matter.” Jean said coldly from the side.


    “Yes, yes.” The servant gulped and hurriedly said, “The Marquis came back and his Grace, the Duke, wasn’t there, so sir Emery led him in. He told the Marquis that Mr. Ben was Miss’s friend. Then the Marquis said, said...”


    The servant didn’t dare to finish what he was saying.


    “Did he say the man-chasing idiot actually has friends?” A cold smile appeared on her face as she said it insipidly.


    The servant was silent, his face paling, revealing that ire’s guess was true.


    “And then Ben was in a bad mood?” ire asked.


    “Mr. Ben still hadn’t red up when Miss Summer first retorted. Then, then...” The servant’s voice lowered. “Then the Marquis’s words started to be a bit unttering, and then it developed out of hand.”


    ire slowly closed her eyes, not saying a word.


    “Coachman, quicker!” Jean instructed the coachman to elerate. Jean looked at the silent ire. He didn’t know why, but a trace of an unbearable and heart wrenching feeling appeared in his heart. The person who had demeaned ire was her rtive, the person guarding ire was an outsider...


    Currently, a storm had already started at Hill mansion.


    “Apologize! Take back your words.” Summer bellowed at Roger Hill, who was also ire’s father, her whole face red, hands at the hip.


    “She’s my own daughter, what gives you outsiders the right to talk about her?” Marquis Roger said in contempt, but he felt an unspeakable anguish. Since when did that useless daughter of his actually have friends who would protect her like this? She could actually have friends? Everybody avoided her. He had heard recently that she had done some things, but maybe it wasn’t by her own abilities and instead, Father pulling some strings from behind the scenes.


    “Having a father like this for ire is a tragedy! It’d be fine if you just didn’t understand, but you actually humiliated your own daughter.” Summer was so mad, she was about to kick something, anything. During the life-threatening moment, ire didn’t abandon them and run off by herself, but shielded them herself instead. If it was someone else dishonoring ire, she wouldn’t feel much, but the person who had dishonored ire was actually ire’s father!!!


    “I understand my daughter the most, since when did you guys have the right to speak?” Marquis Roger said impatiently while looking at the furious girl. But he didn’t dare to have a more excessive attitude. Just then, the threatening Qi the ck clothed man had emitted from his entire body, along with Emery’s constant meaningful nces let Marquis Roger know that the ck clothed man definitely wasn’t someone normal.


    “You vile guy, what qualifications do you have to dishonor ire!” Summer was stillpletely stubborn. “You must take back the words you said just then, must apologize.”


    “Impudent!” Marquis Roger finally got angry. He was a grandiose Marquis. Since when was it that little girl’s turn to shout at him like this, and in his own home too!


    “From the way I see it, it’s because you’re ire’s friends that you guy do a lot of bickering, but you guys can’t be too discourteous. Such uneducated people being with ire, is it not birds of a feather flocking together?” The Marquis Roger finally couldn’t resist his anger, despite the constant meaningful nces Emery gave him.


    “You bastard uncle! Who do you think you are? Are you really educated? You kept repeating over and over your daughter is an idiotic man-chaser and what good was giving birth to her.” Summer also became furious, loudly and angrily rebuking Marquis Roger.


    Now Marquis Roger’s face greened. ire had always been a thorn in his heart. It was because he heard ire had some small aplishments that he returned to confirm, but he never thought he would be scolded and opposed like this.


    “You, you actually dare to scold me!” Marquis Roger was also furious. As a majestic Marquis, he was actually disgraced by a little brat, and even in the Hill Castle!


    “So what if I cuss at you? You are a bastard. I have never met such a bastard father like you. Some people are born without a father and don’t have a father’s care. ire has a father, but it’s even worse for her!” It seemed like something had touched Summer’s weak spot, her eyes wide, flickering.


    “You!” Marquis Roger was so mad his whole body shook. He pointed at Summer. “Bring her away.”


    “Who dares!”


    “Who dares!”


    Two voices sounded at the same time.


    One was Ben, the other was ire, who had just reached the entrance.


    Marquis Roger turned and saw the cold-faced ire standing at the doorway. Although ire was standing there calmly, she emitted an indescribable boldness that made the people behind Marquis Roger not dare to touch Summer.


    “ire.” Once Summer heard ire, she ran over and grabbed ire’s hand. “You came back.”


    “Yes.” ire looked at summer, a trace of a smile appearing on her face. In a low voice she said, “I heard everything you said. Thank you.”


    “Everything I said was the truth.” Just by thinking of the argument, Summer became angry and said, “You actually have this kind of a father! Too evil.”


    “ire! What kind of friends did you make?! So uneducated!” Marquis Roger angrily shouted the moment he saw ire. In his vague memories of her, every time he scolded ire angrily, ire would bepletely scared, and then Katherine woulde out and shelter the useless child.


    But ire’s response waspletely out of his expectation. “I don’t need you to question what kinds of friends I make. Also, you have never asked about my life. You haven’t done it before, and you don’t need to do it now, and you’re not allowed to do it in the future even more so!” ire said coldly, her voice resonating with power. “As an esteemed Marquis, isn’t bickering like this with a little girl who isn’t even fifteen years old too disgraceful, too humiliating to the Hill family name?”


    Emery’s expression changed slightly. ire’s words just now would only exacerbate the conflict. Thinking of this, Emery gave a meaningful nce at ire, but ire didn’t pay attention. Naturally, she had something else nned.


    Marquis Roger was thoroughly shocked. This was the ire that people hated? The ire who would act like a rat meeting a cat whenever she saw him? Was he imagining things? Why did he feel like she had this kind of boldness and aggressiveness?


    “Are you talking to me? Are you talking to your father?” Marquis Roger asked coldly, his expression serious. As a father, being challenged was not allowed. No matter how capable his child was, it still wasn’t allowed!


    “How many fathers do I have? If I’m not talking to you, then am I talking to another father?” ire replied cynically. Within her memories, she didn’t seem to have many impressions of him besides him shouting at ire.


    Everybody’s expressions changed. The Miss actually dared to go against the Marquis like this!


    “You!! You impudent!” Marquis Roger’s face darkened. ire actually dared to say such disgraceful and unfilial words, actually dared to go against him rudely!


    “Who was it that first didn’t treat me like a daughter but is now acting like he is a father? Don’t you think it’s quite funny?” ire looked at Marquis Roger, sneering mockingly. “That day when I fell of the horse and almost died, did you even see me once right before you went out the front door? If I didn’t wake up at the time, would you not have met me until now? To you, it didn’t matter whether or not that happened, because you have already long before disregarded me as your daughter. What are you doing? Pretending to be a father now?”
