Chapter 574 Jealousy
“Please, go on.”
Vaughn’s eyes flickered as he said, “I’m quite puzzled. You have such a good relationship with Lady Lockwood, and logically, your relationship with the Mapleton family should also be good. So how did things become so strained?”
Hazel’s attitude toward Emrys was very poor, and Vaughn had noticed that quite early on. However, what he hadn’t expected was that Pascal was even more outrageous. Pascal actually wanted to kill Emrys.
How deep is the animosity between them? Vaughn was quite perplexed.
Emrys sneered inwardly. These people in Jipsdale are truly deceitful. Despite their affectionate terms of address, all they want is to extract information.
Emrys didn’t have the time to engage in their scheming and intrigue. He said indifferently, “There are some old grudges, but the specifics are not appropriate to disclose.”
And then, he fell silent.
Vaughn gave an awkward laugh and said, “Ha. Emrys, my apologies for being rude.”
A moment of silence passed before a mocking voice suddenly rang out. “Chancellor Diaz, why do you bother? So many distinguished guests have arrived today, yet you insist on cozying up to a cowardly jerk!”
The bustling scene quickly fell into silence.
All eyes turned toward the person who was speaking.
Emrys also glanced over, his face showing a hint of confusion.
The young man who was speaking was unfamiliar to him. He only recognized Darrell, who was seated next to the young man. Thus, he turned his head and asked, “Chancellor Diaz, who is that?”
Vaughn gave a dry laugh and said, “That’s Gilbert Cunningham, the scion of the Cunningham family. His father just assumed the position of Jipsdale Martial Arts Alliance Headquarters‘ guardian.”

After the Mapleton family fell, the position of a guardian became vacant. Naturally, someone from below had to step up to fill the role, and that opportunity fell right into the lap of the Cunningham family.
“Gilbert Cunningham?” Actually, when Emrys heard that name, he had already pretty much understead everything in his heart.
He had a slight recollection of that name.
Back when he was at the Langford residence, assisting Samuel with his illness, Samuel faked his death. Consequently, the people below were thrown into chaos, each fervently debating about the future direction of the Langford family.
Teagan and Eloise, who were also Blanche’s uncle and aunt, proposed to marry her off to Gilbert. That was because Gilbert’s father was a minister of Jipsdale Martial Arts Alliance Headquarters, so he was a powerful figure to rely on.
Alpheus had also agreed to that proposal.
That was the first time Blanche had such a major disagreement with her family.
Emrys was also present at the scene at that time, so he had a slight impression of the name Gilbert.
Now, Gilbert’s father had been promoted, advancing from a minister to a guardian.
And so, Gilbert was full of himself again.
As for the reason Gilbert harbored such intense animosity toward Emrys, it was quite obvious.
Gilbert was jealous!
The jealousy originated partly because of Larissa and partly because of Blanche.
Larissa contributed only partly to the jealousy,
Upon learning that the Warrior Goddess of their fantasies had been claimed by another man, any normal man would feel a twinge of jealousy, to a greater or lesser degree.
That sense of jealousy, however, wasn’t too intense because they were self–aware enough to know they were not a match for Larissa.
That was akin to hearing that a female celebrity one was particularly fond of suddenly
