An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1238

Chapter 1238 The Denial

The Grant family had been a top-tier aristocratic family for a hundred years due to their accumulated strength, particularly the previous family head, Thaddeus, who was a brilliant strategist.

In his younger years, he had been shrewd in choosing his master in the struggle for imperial power, supporting the right side, and then continuously assisting in their rise, becoming the main pillar of the Grant family and finally being personally granted the title of “Loyal and Brave Count” by the emperor.

His power and status, as well as his personal bravery, were no weaker than General Murray’s. In some aspects, he even surpassed him.

The only difference was that General Murray had earned his reputation on the battlefield, while Thaddeus had achieved his through political maneuvering.

Although their paths were different, both were top-tier figures in their own right.

“Hahaha… This is great! The old family head has finally appeared!”

“With the old family head here, who dares to be presumptuous in the Grant family?”

Seeing Thaddeus, the Grant family’s members were filled with joy. It was as if they had found their backbone, dispelling the previous gloomy atmosphere.

“Daughter! We’re saved! We’re saved!”

Trent felt as if he had been granted a reprieve and was overjoyed. He had been worried about how to resolve the situation, but Thaddeus’s appearance gave him hope.

“Great! I knew I made the right choice!”

Kate was also overjoyed. Tyler not only had a promising future but also had a high-ranking grandfather.

The title of “Loyal and Brave Count” might not have real power, but it represented immense honor and an incomprehensible network of connections. In critical moments, they could even directly meet the emperor.

With such a big figure presiding, who could threaten the Grant family?

“Dustin, oh, Dustin, even if you have Lord Xenos backing you, what can you do? Even if you have General Murray as a backer, so what? In the end, you still can’t save Natasha, and you still can’t change the situation. You will always only be fit to be trampled under our feet!”
