Should We Really Make A Scene

But Solomon had always been unable to go head-to-head with Avery. After a few exchanges, he found
himself on the losing end.
Reluctant to admit defeat, he shifted his focus toward Neera.
“So, this is the recently talked-about head of the Gordon family. I heard there’s even a marriage
alliance. Tsk tsk. I must say, Chad really is making a fuss. How did he manage to find such an outsider
to become the head of the Gordon family? Are the people of the Gordon family okay with it? Chad
seems to be disregarding both the Gordon family and the Cox family. Although you’re the head of the
Cox family, Chad has burdened you with such an unwelcome fiancée. You must be quite upset, right?
Poor you…”
Not only did he involve himself, but he also besmirched Chad’s name. Neera furrowed her brow, feeling
annoyed.
Before she could respond, Shane intervened.
“Mr. Gardner, this is an internal matter for the Gordon family. As an outsider, you’re not privy to the
details. It’s best not to make hasty speculations. Neera’s position as the head of the Gordon family has
been duly recognized, and no one has the authority to question it. Regarding the marriage with the Cox
family, it’s not within your purview to interfere,” Avery said, his tone frigid. “Mr. Gardner, I am engaged
to Avery, and our relationship is not open to others’ commentary.”
Despite the pushback, Solomon showed no signs of backing down.
“All right, that’s enough. There’s no need to silence me like this. I couldn’t care less about the Gordon
family’s affairs, nor do I want to meddle. I just find it amusing that an outsider, and one who appears
rather inexperienced, has been entrusted with the Gordon family. It’s truly perplexing. Chad must either
be out of his mind or had been put under a spell. He doesn’t seem concerned if the Gordon family
faces difficulties under this young lady’s leadership. I heard she was even attacked a few days ago.
Thankfully, it was not a serious incident. Otherwise, the newly appointed head of the Gordon family
might have been in jeopardy. That would have provided ample material for Phison’s jests!”
As his words left his lips, laughter erupted.
Neera’s icy gaze scanned the crowd, and she spotted Stella among those who were mocking her,
someone with whom she had previously clashed at the Medicina family’s apothecary.
As an important member of the Bartitsu Guild from the Jennings family, Stella had naturally received an
invitation.
When Neera glanced in her direction, Stella raised an arrogant eyebrow and taunted her.
“What’s your problem? Displeased, Neera? You’re overestimating your position. This gathering isn’t
meant for someone like you!”
Just as she finished her taunt, Charles, who stood behind Neera, sprang into action suddenly.
With a swift, deft movement, he positioned himself in front of Stella.
At some point, he had acquired a dagger, which was now pressed against her throat. The blade
dangerously neared her skin, and with just a slight increase in pressure, it would draw blood.
“Say one more disparaging word about our family head, and I’ll put an end to you right here!
His swift reaction caught everyone off guard.
Stella, in particular, turned pale, the pitch of her voice heightened.
“You have quite the audacity! Daring to brandish a blade at me, who do you think you are?”
Her attendants behind her also voiced their outrage. “Unbelievable! Release our young lady
immediately!”
Charles sneered. “It doesn’t matter who I am. But if you maintain that attitude, you’ll soon be no more
than a wandering spirit beneath my blade.”
The Bartitsu Guild had always held physical prowess in high regard, and genuine combat wasn’t out of
the ordinary for them.
Although the onlookers had been surprised initially, they now found nothing amiss. No one was inclined
to intervene; they were all too eager to witness the unfolding drama.
Throughout the entire incident, Neera remained expressionless, her demeanor cool and collected…
Stella’s sharp tongue needed a lesson.
Otherwise, she risked being seen as an easy target, someone to be stepped on.
Establishing authority had to be a priority.
Even if it didn’t instill fear, it had to make them understand that she wasn’t someone to be taken lightly.
On the Gordon family’s side, individuals prepared for a possible confrontation, adopting combat
stances.
The tension in the room grew palpable.
Solomon, observing the situation intensify, furrowed his brow and stepped forward to defend the
Jennings family.
“What’s happening here? Are the Gordon family members not allowed to tolerate differing opinions?
Are you willing to take a life at the slightest provocation?”
At last, Neera spoke, her countenance radiant yet shrouded in icy composure.
“The Gordon family, of course, allows freedom of speech, but that doesn’t extend to slander. As the
head of the Gordon family, I cannot simply stand by as such events unfold. Ms. Jennings displayed
disrespect and required a lesson. However, my people merely issued a warning. She was not harmed
in any way. Mr. Gardner has exaggerated the situation.”
Clearly dissatisfied with her eloquent response, Solomon turned to Avery.
“Are you going to remain passive too? Have you no intention of intervening? Do you truly want to
escalate this situation?”
