Chapter 725 Self-Destruct
Graham was conflicted. On the one hand, he was grateful he had arranged fighting lessons for Jenny, but on the other, he didn’t want to put her at risk just because she could fight.
“So you’re saying you’ll accept the challenge?” he asked, tone clouded with worry. Jenny nodded. “Of course. Mr. Munster would be humiliated if I didn’t.”
“But what if-’
“You really don’t have to worry, Dad. I know how to protect myself. Plus, these challenges usually aren’t to the death.” Of course, that didn’t mean she wouldn’t get injured. It was just a matter of how serious the injury would be.
Knowing that she had made her decision, Graham knew he couldn’t stop her anymore. “I can’t change your mind, I guess. Please keep yourself safe.”
“I will,” Jenny said with a grin.
They then had dinner together in silence, putting the topic to rest. After several moments of tense silence, Jenny asked, ’You haven’t heard from Rowena yet?”
“I have.” Graham nodded. “She doesn’t want me to go down this road of annihilation and that if I choose to continue, I’ll be digging my own grave.”
He nearly laughed upon remembering what she said. It’d be the Glass family’s grave they dig.
“Hm. We still need to be careful of any allies they seek to their aid,” Jenny said. It was taxing enough for just the two families to take the Glasses down.
Theirs was a house of cards if any other Elite families stepped in to the Glasses’ aid.
Graham knew it too. “We knew this wouldn’t be an easy task, so we’ve prepared ourselves for the worst.”
“Alright.” Jenny sighed with relief. James and her father’s combined power would be enough to handle most things.
The father and daughter continued their dinner, and not even till its end did Rowena return, which was a rare sight.
Across the city, the atmosphere in the Glass family villa had sunken into tense dread.
Wayne glared at his sister, asking sternly, “How could you have not noticed them plotting this? Are you even on our side anymore, Rowena?’
“Watch your tone, Wayne. Do you really think I would betray our family? I wouldn’t be here right now otherwise!”
Not wanting to escalate things in their family when they were already under threat as a whole, Wayne sighed, “I didn’t mean that. I never thought Graham would be so cruel as to do this to you and your family.”
His words hit Rowena right in the heart. When she first heard about this plot, she was dumbstruck too. Dumbstruck and hurt that Graham would do this behind her back.
That was the reason for her determination to save her family. Otherwise, she might get in trouble too.
“It’s no use talking about this right now. Let’s just find a way to get out of it, ” Rowena sighed.
Wayne nodded. He could feel a headache coming. “What way is there for us? We’re no match for the Walters, not to mention the Windsors.’ “That’s no reason to give up.” novelbin
Rowena shook her head. If even Wayne was this dejected, there wouldn’t be much hope for their family anymore.
