Chapter 451 The Fault Of Sierra
Jovanni was not foolish; how could he not discern what was happening? The White Dragon King was determined to sever ties with the Santana family and was using Luciana, a member of the Santana family, as an excuse.
Even if Jovanni had not married Luciana and she was not considered part of the Santana family, the White Dragon King would have surely found other reasons.
Nevertheless, he believed it was wiser to keep these thoughts to himself. If he voiced them and offended the White Dragon King, the latter might change his stance and accuse him of disrespect. That would truly land him in deep trouble.
That day, shortly after Jovanni returned, the White Dragon King publicly announced that he would no longer be the patron of the Santana family. The cooperative relationship between the two parties had officially come to an end.
He specifically emphasized the phrase “officially ended.”
It seemed as if he wanted to convey to the world that it wasn’t a matter of him being untrustworthy, but rather that the initially promised three opportunities had already been exhausted. If other families wished to offer him money… No, if they sought him as their patron, they could approach him, and he would work with them in good faith.
Upon hearing the news, the prominent families of Jipsdale, who were on par with the Santana family, were overjoyed.
1/5
With the loss of support from the White Dragon King, the Santana family could only maintain a low profile. Over time, they were naturally overshadowed by the other prominent families in Jipsdale, much to the satisfaction of everyone.
Jovanni, on the other hand, was seething with anger.
White Dragon King has gone too far!
Originally, Jovanni thought that even if the White Dragon King had severed ties with their family, as long as they didn’t disclose this matter, those outside probably wouldn’t know.
At worst, when the Santana family conducted business in Jipsdale in the future, they just needed to keep a low profile.
However, he didn’t expect the White Dragon King to
immediately spread the news once he left. The latter had simply rubbed salt into his wounds.
Jovanni couldn’t say that what the White Dragon King did was wrong; he could only say that the White Dragon King was unfair.
However, even if the White Dragon King acted unscrupulously, there was nothing Jovanni could do. The former’s power was undeniable, and Jovanni didn’t dare to utter a single word of dissent.
Thus, Jovanni could only vent all his anger on Luciana, giving her a severe beating before driving her out of the Santana residence.
After Luciana was expelled from the house, she fell into dejection and distress.
2/5
After all, she had lost everything by then.
The sky gradually darkened, with the rumbling thunder ominously echoing. Each clap of thunder seemed to etch another scar onto her heart.
She just couldn’t accept it.
A heavy downpour suddenly fell, drenching Luciana completely. Barefoot, she walked the streets, observing as umbrella–toting passersby gossiped about her and feeling like an outcast of society.
“Sierra, this is all your fault!”
Luciana gritted her teeth in resentment. Coincidentally, a streak of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating her face filled with bitterness.
If it hadn’t been for Sierra, she wouldn’t have crossed paths with Emrys. If she hadn’t crossed paths with Emrys, the White Dragon King wouldn’t have been enraged. If the White Dragon King hadn’t been enraged, she wouldn’t have been banished from the Santana family and ended up in her current predicament.
Everything that happened to her could be traced back to Sierra.
That’s right, it’s all Sierra! It was she who reduced me to this state!
It never occurred to Luciana that it was she who had been provoking Sierra all along, while Sierra had never paid her any attention. Everything that happened today was the result of her own actions.
