An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1293

Chapter 1293 The Stratford Family

In Stonia, there were eight prominent noble families, and the Stratford family was one of them.

As a century-old clan, the Stratford family’s influence in Stonia was deeply rooted, and they possessed a substantial background.

Especially in the South City territory, they were considered unparalleled, reigning as the unchallenged rulers.

They were rightfully known as the overlords of South City!

Looking across the entire South City, only the Windsor family, another noble family, could rival the Stratford family.

As for the Grantwood family, though they were a prestigious clan, they were in an entirely different league compared to the likes of the Stratford family, a grand and powerful family.

So, upon hearing the name “Stratford family,” Carlos’ expression changed.

The arrogance he had displayed a moment ago completely vanished, replaced by apprehension and seriousness.

“Carlos, I know you come from a noble background, but there are certain matters you’d better not meddle in. Otherwise, once the Stratford family becomes angered, the consequences will be severe. You should think carefully,” Lenny said with a sneer.

He had thoroughly investigated Healwell’s background and knew that without a strong backing, he wouldn’t dare to act so recklessly.

“Lenny! Don’t try to impress me. With your status, how could you possibly have any connection with the Stratford family?” Carlos retorted sharply.

“The Stratford family operates openly and cherishes their reputation. There are some matters they can’t directly handle, so they leave it to us, the lower echelons,” Lenny said with a smirk. “Carlos, I have another piece of advice for you: don’t get involved in matters that don’t concern you, or you might end up in hot water.”

“How dare you! What kind of person are you to speak to me like this?!” Carlos couldn’t tolerate Lenny’s attitude.

“I may not be, but the Stratford family is. If you insist on meddling, you’ll bear the consequences,” Lenny said with a bizarre tone.
