Chapter 1092: Lucys Fate (1)

What exactly does Jian Yiling have to do with the Goodman family? You guys never told me anything. So why are you blaming me for messing with her? Ive grown up being told that were all responsible for finding the family compa.s.s. And I did just that. I didnt do anything to hurt her. So why are you guys punis.h.i.+ng me for nothing?

Lucy was not convinced. She still did not know why Jian Yiling was important to the Goodman family. She still did not understand why Jian Yiling was respected by everyone.

Elder George frowned before he responded: Youre the one who decided to take action right away. If you were willing to tell me about your findings, I would have told you the truth. However, you did not do that.

You would have told me? Tch, you can say whatever you want right now. This was clearly a task given to everyone in the family. So why am I not allowed to know the truth? Why am I not worthy?

Lucy refused to accept this. Before this incident, she didnt do anything wrong. However, she had been excluded from the core matters of the Goodman family.

With her bloodline, she should have been part of the core members of the Goodman family.

Elder George frowned once again.

Anna snorted: And so, you decide to use theft?

Lucy immediately denied this: Dont falsely accuse me. When did I steal? And when did I kidnap someone? Do you have any evidence for your claims?

It doesnt matter if you disagree with my words. Either way, what you did made Miss Jian upset. In other words, you will no longer be able to climb in the Goodman family. And werent you curious about why Jian Yiling is so important to the Goodman family? Then I will let you know the reason for your downfall.

Anna continued: To be precise, its not Jian Yiling whom we respect. Rather, its the person who inherited the secrets of the Xie family. Shes the heir of the Xie family. Thats why someone handed the family compa.s.s to her. Do you understand now?

The Xie family? The family that one of our elders constantly mentioned to us before?

Yep, the Xie family who reigned over Continent M a century ago.

Jian Yilings surname is Jian, Lucy responded. She refused to accept this. How could Jian Yiling possibly be connected to the Xie family who reigned over Continent M a century ago? It didnt make sense.

Yeah, her surname is Jian. However, the blood of the Xie family runs through her veins. Jian Yilings grandma is the last of the Xie family. And now, do you understand why Jian Yiling is so important to our family? Its not a coincidence that the compa.s.s is in her hands. One of our elders handed it to her.

Upon hearing this explanation, Lucys face turned pale.

She didnt realize that Jian Yiling had such a connection to the Xie family.

But I didnt do anything wrong. I just wanted to obtain the family compa.s.s, Lucy said. She did not want to admit her mistake.

Elder George: You cant obtain the family compa.s.s by force. Jian Yiling must willingly give you the compa.s.s. If you s.n.a.t.c.h it using improper means, the Goodman family will not recognize it. Furthermore, the secret location of the treasure on the compa.s.s is only known to the Xie family.

Upon hearing these words, Lucy was completely dumbfounded.

Then, she snarled at the two people in front of her: Then why didnt you guys tell me in advance? If you guys told me about this, would I have angered her?!

Anna snickered: Well, you never told the rest of the family that the compa.s.s was on her either.

Lucy: Well, isnt it a compet.i.tion? If its a compet.i.tion, I need to take advantage of the situation. If I tell everyone about this, how am I going to compete against you guys?

George asked Lucy: Lucy, youre the one who doesnt trust the Goodman family.. So why are you asking us to trust you with responsibilities?
