Back at the Logan residence, Howard asked him, “How did it go?”
He huffed in annoyance, “You were supposed to go, but you refused to. Instead, you let me go alone.
They didn’t appreciate it at all. They didn’t even accept the gift and chased me out!”
Howard had anticipated this situation. Although he wasn’t surprised, his face darkened significantly.
“That woman from the Gordon family has the audacity to do that?”
Stefan sneered, “Do you think the Gordon family is still the same as before? Do you think the Logan
family can still bounce back? You created this mess, yet you expect me to clean up after you! The
Gordon family is now in its prime, their status far surpasses the Logan family. If they want to deal with
the Logan family, they have plenty of ways, and the Logan family will have no room to resist!”
Howard’s expression grew increasingly sour.
“Well, I’d like to see what tricks she has up her sleeve.”
Stefan frowned. “Are you still living in a dream? Wake up. The Logan family, as it stands now, can’t
compete with the Gordon family. I originally planned to take the initiative to make peace, apologize, and
hopefully smooth things over. That way, the Logan family could have an easier time in the future. But I
didn’t expect that woman to be so difficult to deal with. She’s even worse than Chad, not giving us any
room to maneuver! The fact that I’ve visited the Gordon family will probably spread soon. When that
happens, the Logan family will once again become the butt of people’s jokes. As for the other forces,
they’ll see which way the wind is blowing and will likely show even more respect to the Gordon family in
the future. They might even trample on the Logan family! You should really focus and think about how
to navigate the future of the Logan family. The first and second elders are watching you like hawks.
Whether you can maintain your position is uncertain. Even I can’t help you much anymore.”
After saying that, Stefan turned around and left.
Howard’s face was cold and stern, and he nearly crushed the cup in his hand.
Ah, well done. Well done, Neera!
He was indeed curious to see how long that woman could bask in her glory.
Everything Stefan predicted was spot on.
News of his visit to the Gordon family spread like wildfire, sparking all sorts of discussions and debates.
“The Logan family, once so formidable and impressive, has fallen to this state now?”
“They really lack self-awareness. The Logan family is on the decline now. After being punished by the
neutral party, their power has significantly diminished, and they’ve suffered major asset losses. They’re
on the brink of financial ruin, yet they still dream of leveraging the Gordon family’s influence to rise
again. They should stop daydreaming.”
“Having the audacity to approach the Gordon family is indeed audacious! The Gordon family is quite
remarkable to still welcome them. If I were in their shoes, I’d definitely put these people in their place!
Such nonsense! They used to wield their power to oppress others, but now that they see others rising
in prominence, they scramble to ingratiate themselves! It’s repugnant!”
“Who isn’t trying to curry favor with the Gordon family these days? But one must also consider if they’re
worthy to do so.”
“The Gordon family has truly impressed me. Despite being humiliated in the past, they’ve now gained
power. Yet, they’re not flaunting it or seeking revenge. They really know how to keep their cool.”
“They probably just don’t care. With the Gordon family’s status so high now, they surely don’t bother
with those insignificant people…”
As the Gordon family’s influence and reputation continued to grow, those families who once opposed
them were now filled with regret.
They thought that while so many forces were trying to curry favor with the Gordon family, they could
also take this opportunity to apologize and seek reconciliation..
Seeing the outcome for the Logan family, these people no longer dared to go.
Because of this, Neera managed to save herself a lot of trouble.
At dinner, Shane showered Neera with so many compliments that she became embarrassed.
“Shane, please stop exaggerating. I’m not as impressive as you make me out to be. I just know a few
tricks, nothing more than for show.” Neera’s face turned red, and she quickly served him some food.
“You should eat more. You’ve been entertaining guests all day. You must be tired.”
Shane laughed heartily. “Why are you embarrassed? I’m just telling the truth. Honestly, Uncle Chad, I
didn’t expect Neera to be so eloquent. She spoke with such finesse, maintaining the dignity of the
family head perfectly. She was neither impolite nor did she lose her authority. Now, those snobs in the
Bartitsu Guild won’t dare to underestimate her anymore.”
Chad nodded, his face full of admiration.
He had heard about the events of the past two days from Shane, and he strongly agreed with Neera’s
approach.
“Neera, I’ve deliberately stayed out of sight these past few days to let you establish your authority.
You’ve done an excellent job, even better than I had imagined, especially in dealing with the Logan
family.”
Neera gave a bitter smile. “At first, I was a bit at a loss too. After all, they came to make peace, and if I
went too far, I risked deepening the animosity. However, upon reflection, I realized that showing even a
hint of vulnerability could lead to the Gordon family being subjected to mockery.”
“Indeed, you’re absolutely right in your thinking.” Chad nodded. “If the Gordon family were to accept the
Logan family’s apology, it could lead others to perceive the Gordon family as being easily placated. We
could be seen as a family that can be oppressed, and a simple apology or gift can erase all
transgressions. This would result in the Gordon family losing all dignity and respect, making us a target
for anyone to trample upon.”
Jean was listening by the side, a faint smile playing on his lips. He felt a sense of pride and satisfaction.
Neera is really getting the hang of things…
