Henry could no longer keep his composure.
How dare a country bumpkin lay a hand on the goddess of Grayvale?
To them, Rivenesco was nothing but a backwater village.
What kind of talent could possibly come from Rivenesco?
Nearly every young heir in the room wore the same expression of disdain mixed with indignation.
How had this bumpkin managed to win her favor?
The jealousy was palpable.
“Well, if Miss McCall has acknowledged you herself, then you must be quite extraordinary. Welcome to Grayvale’s gathering,” Henry said and kept up a pretense of politeness.
But as he turned his head, he shot a subtle glance at the two men behind him.
“You’re from Rivenesco? What kind of talent could possibly come from that place? Hey, kid, have you even reached the fifth grade yet?” one of them asked and sneered. “Just because Mr. Henry is being polite doesn’t mean the rest of us are. If you’re not qualified, you don’t belong here. Not even Allison’s backing will change that.”
“Exactly. Rules are rules. Even if you were from Central Harbor, you’d have to follow the rules. And you’re just some countryside kid. What a joke!” the second man said with a smirk.
Their words immediately drew murmurs of agreement.
“Bumpkin, go back to wherever you came from! You don’t belong here!”
“Seriously, look at him. Fifth grade? I’d be impressed if he could scrape by third grade or fourth grade. Fifth grade is a joke!”
“What trash! Honestly, what’s Allison thinking? Picking a guy like this? The goddess has truly fallen, huh?”
…
Allison’s face darkened with disdain.
She wanted to silence the jeers.
But before she could say anything, Dustin said, “Fifth grade? Your standards are awfully low.”
His tone was calm yet infuriating.
“What did you just say?” The two men behind Henry bristled with anger.
“You think you’re qualified to talk like that? All you do is flap your gums. Show me your skills then!”

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....
