Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 303

Nory was completely certain that James could no longer find a way to prove his point now.

"Stop blabbering nonsense, Nory. We have guests here today. We can discuss the affairs of our family later in private." James rebuked him coldly. Men who were at the higher rung of the power ladder tended to crush their rivals with power rather than words, especially when they weren't entirely in the right.

Nory refused to give in even though he was facing the clan leader. "We can discuss it later. But you can't just give away the blood jade bracelet. It's not yours to give!"

"Shut up!" Yates snapped, unable to contain himself any longer.

He felt a pang of regret on hearing Nory's words. Perhaps it would have been best if he had thrown Nory and his lot out before Nina arrived.

He hadn't expected that they would cause so much trouble and make him look like a fool in front of Nina.

It was so embarrassing. The present he wanted to give out belonged to someone else. He didn't even dare imagine what Nina would think of him upon hearing that. The thought of Nina despising him just because of Nory's words filled Yates with uncontrollable urges to kill someone, especially Nory.

James said nothing. He was their elder and it wouldn't look good if this were to go on much farther. He decided he'd better stay calm, hold his breath, and see where this would lead. If only his son could handle Nory!

Nory was born to be a coward, a total waste of space. He was always scared of Yates. It was highly likely that Nory would just give up because what Yates had said.

But Nory didn't yield. A voice rang out before he could speak.

Zen had spoken before anything could happen.

"Shut up? Why should Nory shut up?" He grinned even though there was no laughter in his eyes. What he had witnessed had made him realize that this party would never have a peaceful ending. He would have to step in at the suitable moment.

"You should also shut up. Have you forgotten where you are? This is Mo's territory. You don't get to speak here, outer disciple." Yates hated Zen even more than Nory. He was first stealing Nina and now speaking out of turn. The guts of the man!

Nory suddenly stood up and declared in a loud, resolute voice, "I'm one of the Mo clan. Zen is my friend. Of course he can speak."

It should have been a jolly occasion to have the Mo's family members gathering here today. They all kept their voices down even though they were arguing with each other.

Nory's suddenly raised voice drew the attention of all the guests.
