Xiong Zhi heard her name. What were they talking about?
She walked forward to approach the two. She was the closest to the two amongst everyone inside the room, considering that her seat was right beside Old Xiong.
"Grandfather."
"You!" Old Xiong looked at her in anger and disappointment. "Don't you dare speak for him! This lowly butler said he had ways to make your life seem like hell. Would you still like him?"
"What are you talking about, grandfather? He will never do that to me."
"Ha! He is ready to break the treaty, Zhier!" Old Xiong hissed in a low voice.
"..!!!"
Did... did he just say, breaking the treaty?
Xiong Zhi stiffened. Her eyes widened. Breaking the treaty? Was... was it finally happening?
Old Xiong continued in a lower voice. "Though, I don't believe it. But with him having such thoughts to destroy our families' bond, even to destroy our Xiong family's reputation, it is enough to make him our enemy!"
