Chapter 582 Plotting Against Blanche
“Today, at Vaughn’s promotion banquet, I encountered that wretched scoundrel. As expected, he was as arrogant as ever,” Gilbert said, his face filled with displeasure.
Every time he card Emrys‘ name, he was consumed by burning rage.
Teagan’s expression changed. He asked, “Didn’t you teach that bastard a lesson?”
He had always advocated for Blanche to be married into the Cunningham family.
On the day when Samuel was critically ill, success was almost within reach. However, a man named Emrys appeared out of nowhere and saved Samuel, causing the plan to fail.
Later, it was discovered that Emrys and Larissa were intimately connected, and behind Larissa was the Mapleton family. Therefore, everyone in the Langford family believed that they had established a connection with the Mapleton family.
However, who could have predicted that the Mapleton family would soon fall from grace, leading to the collapse of the Langford family’s pillar of support.
And the most ironic part was…
Back then, the Langford family had hosted a feast that lasted for three days and three nights, intending to announce to the wealthy families of Jipsdale that they had the backing of the Mapleton family. However, when the Mapleton family fell, that very act became a source of ridicule.
At that time, members of the Langford family of the same social standing from the capital’s elite families would revel in their misfortune upon seeing them.
They assumed that the Langfords would no longer dare to be as arrogant as before now that their pillar of support had crumbled.
The members of the Langford family were also deeply frustrated.
During this turmoil, Teagan had seized the power of discourse. His influence within the Langford family had already surpassed that of his elder brother, Alpheus.
In particular, the promotion of Bernard from minister to guardian demonstrated just how unique and insightful Teagan’s judgment was at that time.
Currently, as a member of the Langford family, Teagan’s influence was second only to the

patriarch, Samuel.
After the downfall of the Mapleton family, he once again proposed to marry Blanche off to the Cunningham family. Naturally, this received the support of the entire Langford family, and even Alpheus couldn’t find a reason to object.
Therefore, the clan members were working on influencing Samuel’s thoughts, while Teagan was tasked with getting close to Gilbert.
This was why, recently, Gilbert always seemed to run into Teagan at the nightclub.
Teagan was specifically stationed there, waiting for him.
With a gloomy expression, Gilbert downed a glass of wine and said despondently, “How I wish I could teach that bastard a lesson, but my father told me to maintain a low profile.”
He paused for a moment, looking at Teagan, his gaze slightly cold. “I heard from Darrell that Blanche is already involved with that bastard?”
The expression on Teagan’s face changed abruptly as he hurriedly explained, “Absolutely not, it’s all rumors. My niece might have a slight fondness for Emrys, but they definitely did not have any sort of relationship. I can assure you of that.”
If Blanche were to become entangled with Emrys, wouldn’t that be like Gilbert marrying an undesirable woman? That would be unacceptable.
Upon hearing this, Gilbert breathed a small sigh of relief.
Teagan also breathed a sigh of relief. “Mr. Cunningham, I believe that persuading Blanche to compromise through normal means might be a bit difficult now. You know how stubborn my niece can be.”
After some thought, a wicked idea suddenly formed in his mind. He leaned over to Gilbert and whispered, “I think we should start with Emrys The Coward…”
“Are you suggesting that we use Emrys to threaten Blanche?”
Gilbert immediately understood his meaning, but quickly furrowed his brows, scoffing coldly, “Has a son of a guardian like me fallen so low that I need to resort to such tactics to make a woman yield?”
