━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Although he was hoping that his improvisation strategy would work, Noelle's father naturally knew how unlikely it was to really succeed. After all, whether she died or not, just the fact that he attacked the eldest daughter of the main branch's leader was enough to get him in plenty of trouble. But while he was okay with being stopped by one of the elders to 'explain himself', and was even prepared to be restrained, Gildroy never expected that the one to stop…

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Things happening when one least expects them was one of the many beautiful mysteries of life, or maybe it would be more appropriate to call it a great horror in Narcissa's case. In all these years of her ongoing 'feud' with her husband, not once had he ever dared step foot in her family home. But today, not only did he do exactly that, but he even dared to grab her neck! Narcissa couldn't even curse at her madman of an ex-husband as she struggled for air.…

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The worst nightmare of Noelle's father came true way earlier than he expected. It was only the second day of his so-called daughter's 'declaration of war' against him and his family, but her venom had seemingly already spread to every nook and cranny of the clan. "Making one of our own clan's women go through such an unspeakable nightmare… I shudder to imagine I've brushed shoulders with such a monster before." "She does seem a bit vain, but she can't be…

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If someone had asked him a few days ago how he would feel if his missing daughter showed up in front of him, Gildroy would definitely have told them he would be over the moon with happiness. Even if he felt nothing for the weak and useless girl born out of that loveless marriage, there was no denying that he felt good every time people talked about it. After all, even if most didn't dare to criticize his ex-wife directly, their words and actions would…

Few people could tolerate being mocked like that to their face, and fewer still could take it when it happened right in front of their significant other. Granted, Narcissa was only his ex-wife now, but that did little to quell the sheer humiliation that drowned Noelle's biological father. "Y-You little brat—!" Even at the lowest point of his life, when all the elders had been dissatisfied with him for the deception regarding his remarriage, no one had dared to treat him like that! Emilia blinked back…

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Looking at the wary expression on the face of her 'mother', Noelle couldn't help but chuckle. "Well, I assume that both of you are familiar with the lady named Dolores?" Narcissa secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while Noelle's biological father furrowed his brows when his current wife's name was suddenly mentioned. "Are you talking about my wife?" The gray-haired girl nodded. "That's right. I'm gonna trouble you to go through your memories of the time…

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Without the crowd present, everyone could clearly see that Noelle wasn't just making things up, and the woman really was pale as paper. But what no one seemed to get was… why? These two should never have met before in their lives, so why was it that Narcissa seemed so scared of the younger girl? But of course, even if no one else had noticed, how could the woman herself not recognize her own daughter's face? It was like she was looking at herself in a…

"It should be obvious by now that since the Nightingale clan has already been deemed as a threat by the government, it won't be long before things get much worse here." The gray-haired girl sneered. "Of course, everyone is free to continue being in denial if they so please... if you can handle the consequences." There were many who wanted to refute her, but in the end, they could only keep their silence. After all, what she said was indeed true. And considering that she was supposedly speaking on the…

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Unfortunately for the grand elder, life often proved people wrong, especially when they were already down on their luck. When Noelle arrived in their clan compound, not only did she reject the idea of slowly integrating herself with the clan before being introduced as a 'hidden, secret genius' they'd hidden from the world, but she also insisted on meeting almost all the influential figures of the clan in a meeting right away! Even if many of them were aware…
-
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ To be honest with herself, even Noelle hadn't been aware that she was capable of defeating so many elders of the Nightingale clan all alone. In fact, she was quite certain that she definitely couldn't have done it just a couple of years back. 'My skills haven't really improved by that much since then, right? In that case… this has got to be her doing…' Noelle sighed. 'It's good to know that I haven't 'wasted' it, but…' Somehow, it felt really…
