“Miss Allison, is this your friend? You’re aware that everyone attending this gathering is admitted strictly by invitation...” said the doorman with thinly veiled displeasure.
Allison was known for her distant and untouchable persona. Even the most prominent heirs in Grayvale struggled to approach her. Seeing someone like Dustin standing so close to her was enough to spark envy and resentment.
“He’s…” Allison glanced at Dustin and blushed as she hesitated. She was unsure how to explain their relationship.
Her hesitation only fueled the doorman’s irritation. His expression darkened further.
No way...
Could someone as beautiful as her... with someone like him… There was no way…
As the thought festered, his jealousy intensified.
He was even more reluctant to let Dustin in.
“This is Fustin Dox,” Allison said after regaining her composure. “He’s currently staying with the McCall family as a guest.”
The doorman’s eyes widened.
He barely registered the rest of her explanation after hearing the words: staying with the McCall family…
His mind raced. ‘Living together? They’re already sharing the same roof?’ he thought.
A wave of jealousy surged within him.
“Guests without formal invitations are not permitted inside,” he snapped. “Miss Allison, I trust you’ll understand. You may enter, but he cannot.”
Allison frowned in annoyance. “I was under the impression that this gathering values talents above all. Isn’t it skill that matters, not invitations?”
The doorman folded his arms and said in a cold tone, “Skill is indeed a factor, but there are two criteria. First, the individual must be under thirty and considered a true young talent.
“Second, their abilities must meet a minimum benchmark—fifth grade!”
His dismissive gaze swept over Dustin’s unassuming attire and calm demeanor. To him, Dustin looked like an average martial artist from a humble background. Thus, he felt only disdain.
Martial artists from noble families had access to profound martial arts techniques and abundant resources, which allowed them to advance at a pace far beyond what common martial artists could achieve.
Even if commoners managed to learn martial arts, it was exceedingly rare for someone of their age to reach the fifth grade.
“Fifth grade? That’s it?” Allison chuckled softly.
She knew all too well that fifth grade, or even ninth grade, was laughable in Dustin’s eyes.

The readers' comments on the novel: My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness
Is the story not coming in again. It's been days now and no new chapter...
Nice one...
Shitty ending but considering overall I give the book .05 out of 5 stars. You used the same plot to many times, too many translation errors, even at the end you screwed around with the font and color because who knows why, the title had nothing to do with the story do I need to continue...
Just move to the enemy and let the snipers kill him for you Dustin. Use him as your shield easy peasy Mac n cheesey....
Tell hell hall said get his ass out here now or I will kill everyone here you have 10 seconds to do what I said. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 to late...
Why does Dustin still think he owes his adoptive dad a debt? Sure he saved his life and help raise, taught martial arts etc... till his death but Dustin stayed on and put his life at risk and invested his time and money into his 5 daughters up until they came across their biological brother and kicked him out. Treat him like a thieving dog and have attempted numerous times to kill him. He finally showed some common sense by imprisoning the 1 sister and killing her cousin yet he lets the others slide. With his status and power I would have already killed them off or at the very least taken them and imprisoned them like the 1 and tortured the mom into spilling everything she knows and getting my rightful inheritance, but the author has to drag it out....
He said to mutilate the body and burn it why not start with beheading it and taking it back to show the city and place it as an offering to his family? That's what a great MC would have done....
Lame you change the name of the characters and use the same ole trope how many time are you going to use it? First it was the Langley sisters, then the McCall girl I believe this is the second or third time with Shawna. You need new material author...
Oh my not the weak who the MC showed mercy by not killing him because of some honor bound duty to a dead guy makes a comeback and forces the MC into a corner before the mc finally kills him arc 🤣...
🤣 now this is better just because I took her virginity doesn't mean I'm responsible for her. Love it....
