Chapter 438 A Lucky Chance
“You’re shameless!” Blanche pointed at Emrys, trembling for quite some time before finally cursing, “Shameless!”
Emrys shook his head and said, “That’s not a valid reason. You can’t insult me just because you can’t win an argument against me. We are all civilized people, and we should communicate in a civilized manner. Your insults are simply too much.”
Too much? Blanche was nearly brought to tears by Emrys‘ remarks. What a shameless person, daring to speak of civilized discourse in front of me. And he even has the audacity to accuse me of being excessive. This is simply outrageous.
Emrys seized the opportunity to press on, saying, “It seems like you’re not convinced by the analogy I just made. If you think it’s inappropriate, let me give you another scenario. You believe Luciana doesn’t dare to cross the line because she fears your family. But what if one day your family falls from grace? Currently, your family is in its prime, yet you all hesitate to eliminate this threat. When your family declines, won’t you be even more helpless against Luciana? By then, when Sierra loses the backing of your family, will Luciana still be so restrained?”
Emrys felt that he had completely overwhelmed Blanche in terms of momentum, leaving her unable to stand, only capable of trembling uncontrollably.
Drip!
A single tear rolled down Blanche’s cheek.

Emrys was instantly taken aback. Is she crying? This girl didn’t seem so fragile. Could it be that my words were too harsh?
Emrys‘ tone softened a bit as he said, “I apologize if my words were too harsh earlier. I didn’t mean to curse your family. It was just an example. If you find it offensive, then I won’t mention it again.”
After all, Blanche was a girl. Although she had scolded Emrys a few times, her intentions were good, all stemming from her concern for Sierra.
When Emrys saw her shedding tears, a sense of guilt naturally arose within him.
In reality, Emrys had no idea that Blanche was shedding tears because a single sentence he had uttered struck a chord in her vulnerability.
The Langford family had been on a downward spiral over the past few years.
The Langford family had a Venerable One, who was the foundation of their ability to secure a place in Jipsdale.
Many years ago, this Venerable Being suffered severe injuries during a confrontation with someone. He was on the brink of death, and just as the Langford family was about to crumble, an old friar suddenly arrived, who was none other than Athos.
Athos said he could step in to help treat the Langford family member.

The hope of the Langford family was reignited.
Unfortunately, although Athos had treated him, he wasn’t completely cured. It could only be said that he had helped the Langford family member by extending his life by several years.
It wasn’t that Athos couldn’t cure that individual.
It was just that Athos was quite a sleazy person.
Athos informed the Langford family to take good care of Sierra. He said that when the time came for that Langford family member to fall sick again, a lucky chance would naturally arise.
That was the reason why the Langford family kept showing goodwill toward Sierra.
At that moment, it seemed that the Langford family member was on the brink of collapse yet again. However, the lucky chance mentioned by Athos still had not materialized.
When Blanche came to Jazona this time, aside from visiting Sierra and meeting Sierra’s godbrother, the most important. reason was her hope that Sierra would reveal that particular lucky chance to her.
Blanche had asked Sierra several times before, but each time, Sierra would wear a bewildered expression, indicating that she had no idea about a lucky chance. She didn’t even know who Athos was.
