My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

"Actually, everyone, Mr. Daniel of the Wilder family of Somerton has some connection with us," Alvern said loudly to the guests as he held Daniel's hand.

The guests were suddenly in an uproar.

The Langley family was not very famous. It was a shock that they had any sort of connection with the Wilder family.

If the Wilder family gave them just the slightest bit of a boost, the Langley family would be able to soar to unimaginable heights.

"Daniel isn't just here to celebrate my birthday tonight. We have another important matter to settle," Alvern said.

"Mr. Langley, what is the matter?" someone asked inquisitively.

Alvern looked around and paused.

"Some of you might have already heard whispers of it. Dustin Fox, Simone's fiance from the branch family, beat Daniel up for no reason a few days ago and injured him severely."

The guests' expressions turned stiff.

Indeed, there were whispers of the incident. The whole thing had shaken up Hattan.

It seemed that there would be some interesting developments to that story tonight.

"When it comes down to it, Dustin is still a member of the branch family. We are remorseful that he dared to attack Daniel. Dustin has always been a reckless person with no regard for the law. We never imagined that he would dare to lay a hand on Daniel. It was our fault for not keeping him in line. We are very sorry," Alvern said sorrowfully.

"It's not your fault. That man was not raised well. You couldn't have done anything to help him,” Daniel said with a smile. "I've always known not to resent the wrong people. This is on him. I won't drag others into it."

"Thank you for your gracious understanding, Daniel," Alvern said. Then, his face turned icy. "But the Langley family cannot sit by and leave this matter unaddressed."

"Shouldn't you stand up, Dustin Fox?" Alvern suddenly turned and shouted at Dustin with a glare.

Everyone looked at Dustin.noveldrama

Dustin did not move.

"Insolence!" Alvern shouted again. His eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.

"Insolence!" Darren, Conan, Luna, and the others all cried out.

"You awful, arrogant, and cheeky piece of trash!" Alvern cursed as he pointed at Dustin. "It's bad enough that you go against the Langley family's rules, but you dare to attack Daniel as well? Where do youget the audacity?

"Don't you know that doing such a thing is like single-handedly ruining our family's

reputation? It's a disgrace that Simone has you for a fiance!"

Alvern's voice was loud as he scolded Dustin in public.

Dustin's face turned cold.

"The main branch of the Langley family has been kind enough to help the branch family through many hardships. Is this how you repay us? If Daniel wasn't so reasonable, you could have destroyed our family!" Darren shouted at Dustin.

"What an ungrateful wretch! You should have been kicked out long ago. You don't deserve to be a member of the family!"

The guests were all stunned to see the members of the main Langley family

reprimanding Dustin in public on Alvern's seventieth birthday.

Dustin was being humiliated entirely.

Everyone looked at him, whose expression was thunderous.

Simone and her parents looked displeased as well. They did not expect the

members of the main Langley family to do this.

Daniel was overjoyed upon seeing Dustin's dark face.

This was only the beginning. There would be greater humiliation coming his way.

"Dustin, do you think you can avoid consequences by staying silent?" Conan snapped. "You're brazen and have no respect for anyone! Do you think you can afford to offende Daniel? He's worlds better

Swan you!

"However, since you're part of our family, we have begged for mercy on your

behalf. It's lucky for us that Daniel is a benevolent man."
