The underlying message of those final two sentences was a reminder to Albert that Avery was the head
of the family. Albert didn’t have the right to lecture him.
And his address for Albert had also changed, instantly making the atmosphere tense, as if the air itself
were pulled taut.
Ronald initially wanted to mediate, but seeing Albert’s relentless provocation toward Avery, he, too,
became irritated. He chose to remain silent, observing the situation with a cold gaze.
Albert stiffened his neck, wanting to retort, but he couldn’t utter a single word.
“Mr. Albert, in the Cox family, you can’t afford to question others. I don’t want to hear even the slightest
about Phoebe’s matter. Also, the head of the Gordon family is not for you to discuss. From now on, if I
hear it again, don’t blame me for disregarding our relationship. I will handle it as it should be handled,”
Avery said in a calm tone, but the words’ meaning was incredibly profound.
Albert was completely shocked, standing there with his eyes wide and mouth agape, looking utterly
incredulous. “Avery, are y-you actually treating me, your elder, like this for the sake of an outsider?”
At this moment, Ronald sternly shouted, “Albert!” His expression was extremely serious, his of warning.
“Have you not caused enough trouble?”

Albert gritted his teeth, unable to contain his anger. Yet, he was wary of Avery, so he had to find
another way to stir up trouble. “Me? Causing trouble? I just don’t understand why everyone is
protecting the Gordon family, protecting that outsider! Avery, even if you’re dissatisfied with me, you
can ignore me, but you can’t ignore the entire Cox family, can you? Ever since our family moved to
Lordsworth Estate, although we’ve received quite a bit of care from Lordsworth Estate, it’s nothing
compared to what the Gordon family gets! The difference is worlds apart! Look at what’s happening!
Ever since the Gordon family arrived at Lordsworth Estate, they were directly arranged to live in District
One! They were even personally fetched by the Medicina family. Even the renowned branch leader,
Colin, paid a personal visit. Lordsworth Estate has publicly declared that they will provide
comprehensive protection to the Gordon family. With all this commotion, the Gordon family has become
a hot commodity, the object of pursuit by numerous powerful families in Lordsworth Estate. These
days, I’ve been hearing rumors. Many families are flocking to pledge their allegiance. Now, the
reputation and power of the Gordon family far surpasses our family! But back in Bartitsu Guild, the
Gordon family was nothing more than a third-rate family, far inferior to our family. But now, they’ve
transformed and are surpassing us! Who can bear such a gap?”
Ronald’s brows furrowed tightly, yet he couldn’t think of a rebuttal.
Frankly, that matter did make Ronald feel a bit uneasy. It wasn’t to the point of jealousy, but there was a
certain lump in his throat.
Albert glanced at his face, then, with a tense expression, turned to look at Avery, huffing in annoyance.
“Initially, it was the Gordon family who insisted that our family leave Bartitsu Guild to join Lordsworth
Estate. But now, after we’ve come over, we’re being treated coldly by Lordsworth Estate. On the other
hand, the Gordon family is doing well. When one person succeeds, the whole family benefits. They’ve
all become highly favored, their status skyrocketing. Yet, they’ve turned a blind eye to our family-”
“Have you said enough?” At this moment, Avery suddenly spoke, interrupting him coldly.
Albert was taken aback. Looking at Avery’s calm and unruffled face, he suddenly felt very uncertain.

Albert was taken aback. Looking at Avery’s calm and unruffled face, he suddenly felt very uncertain.
He thought that at least mentioning this matter could cause some wavering in Avery’s resolve. But
unexpectedly, Avery still maintained his nonchalant demeanor.
“Who Lordsworth Estate favor or value is their business. What does it have to do with the Gordon
family? And what does it have to do with the head of the Gordon family? In the end, it’s because the
head of the Gordon family is capable of saving that person from Lordsworth Estate. You just said it
yourself. When one person succeeds, the whole family benefits. So, what’s the problem? Are you
envious? If you’re so bitter, why don’t you contribute something to the Cox family? You could show your
face in front of the lord, win his favor, and get him to take care of the Cox family because of you. If that
day comes, I will definitely see you in a new light. Even Phoebe, if you want to bring her back to the
Cox family, it’s not impossible. After all, in this family, the strong ones have the say. If you can’t, just
stay put and shut your useless mouth,” Avery said.
Albert’s face paled and flushed.
Avery gave him a final, icy glance. His tone instantly became serious, laden with a weighty warning.
“Mr. Albert, there are some things I only say once. However, out of respect for you being my uncle, I’ve
been patient with you. But this doesn’t mean you can walk all over me, act recklessly, or defy my
orders. I’ll say it one last time. If you dare to criticize the Gordon family again, you’ll be punished
according to our family disciplinary rules. Also, Bartitsu Guild is now an enemy of the Cox family. If you
dare to secretly contact anyone from Bartitsu Guild, there will be no place for you in the Cox family.”
After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs.
Albert was inexplicably intimidated by Avery’s final glance, his body breaking out in a cold sweat. An
unconscious fear rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
For some reason, he always felt that the glance he just received from Avery seemed to carry a hint of
something else.
So much so that, for a moment, he forgot his fury and instead felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.
Beside him, Ronald was frowning at Albert. “Mr. Avery has always been a man of his word. Whatever
he
says, he does. He has been tolerating you out of respect for your seniority for many days now. If you
continue to act recklessly and truly anger him, even Rio and I won’t be able to help you when he
decides to deal with you. You’d better hope for the best. If you still want to stay in this house, you
should behave yourself and stop causing trouble!”
Albert wanted to argue further, but after Ronald finished his piece, he turned and walked away, not
paying any attention.
He stood alone in the lobby, and his expression was extremely gloomy.
Cold sweat filled the palms of his hands hanging by his side. He clenched his fists tightly, a flash of
malice suddenly crossing his eyes.
