NovelUSAChapter 99: Landen was being disrespectful and rude now. In the past, such behavior would have earned him a swift hit from Balthasar's crutch and scorn from the entire clan. But today, no one dared to scold him. Balthasar merely pursed his lips, embarrassed "Landen, don't be rude!" Hannah admonished him. Landen shrugged and replied, "Did I say anything wrong? Now you're all criticizing Uncle Rex for being manipulated by women. Yet for years, you've all been flattering Sansa." The Nash family members were left speechless, hanging their heads in shame. Landen looked around, his gaze suggesting he saw them as fools, and with a snort, he fell silent. He chose not to continue Over the years, to support Ayla, Sansa had ruthlessly undermined Ayla's peers, especially Landen and Tiffany. Landen had been so marginalized within the family that he had joined an organization just to make ends meet, and Tiffany had becthe butt of jokes throughout Blebert Hadn't these people criticized Rex for his incompetence before? Why? Your favorite stories are on gVlnovesAfter a quiet moment, Balthasar said again, “Landen, I'm to blfor what you and Tiffany have endured. I'll make it right." Glancing briefly at Balthasar, Landen responded coolly, "I'm a man. I can handle shardship. But you've seen the pain Tiffany endured. Grandpa, think about how you'll make it up to her." Speaking of Tiffany, Hannah sighed deeply. "She was so bright as a child. She could already read many words when she was three years old and had beautiful handwriting. She was never a failure." "She's Uncle Brian's daughter. Both her parents were brilliant. How could their daughter be anything but exceptional? Tiffany is smart. Only Sansa and Ayla's oppression stopped her from showing her talents,” Landen declared angrily. After a pause, he clenched his teeth and added, "Even though she posed no threat and never tried to outshine Ayla, Sansa couldn't stand her. Tiffany was forced to drop out of high school in her freshman year and had her engagements broken off five times. Her life has been ruined!" Recalling Tiffany's struggles, the Nash family members lowered their heads, ashamed. They all knew the wealth they enjoyed cfrom Brian. Yet when Brian's daughter needed them, they turned away. Balthasar's heart ached deeply. Brian, his beloved son, had been missing all these years. He should have cherished and protected his granddaughter. Yet, when she faced difficulties, he stood by, offering no help at all Landen glanced at the quiet Rex and sneered. "Uncle Rex, you led our family, but you've done nothing as it crumbles. Your wife and daughter have harmed us, and you haven't corrected them. You're worse than a failure. You're the Nash family's disgrace. Don't think your kindness makes up for your neglect. With your control over the family, your lack of action is more damning than Sansa and Ayla's misdeeds. Your crimes are inexpiable. The priority now isn't just to deal with Ayla and oust Sansa from the family, but to have you kneel in the ancestral hall and admit your wrongs before our ancestors' photos. You should kneel there for as long as you've led this family!" Rex listened in silence until Landen finished his tirade. His expression shifted subtly, indicating he didn't think it was fair
"Landen, don't you think you're being too harsh? I acknowledge that Sansa and Ayla have made smistakes over the years. However, Tiffany's expulsion from school and her broken engagements weren't Sansa's doing. Tiffany brought those on herself."
"Bullshit!" Landen exploded with anger. He grabbed a nearby teacup and hurled it at Rex, disregarding that Rex was his elder
