Huo Family:

Huo Zun’s attitude was cold and forbidding, exuding an undeniable intimidation.

The Huo Family indeed has nothing to do with me.

At the beginning, my so-called upbringing, Yang Ruo and I had no status in the Huo Family. To be precise, I was raised by Yang Ruo who worked like a servant, being a nanny, and it has nothing to do with the Huo Family.

As for my current status, I earned it by fighting in black-market boxing matches.

Now... I have the world’s top pharmaceutical research, along with luxury goods... my status has significantly risen, and the Huo Family has come seeking me.

I only considered responding because of that tiny bit of so-called upbringing debt and out of respect for Isabella.

It doesn’t mean Isabella can push things too far.

...

Seeing Huo Zun’s response, Isabella was thoroughly embarrassed.

The situation is already like this now.

The Huo Family is in trouble... As a member of the Huo Family, regardless of whether he was previously recognized by them, Huo Zun should help.

Knowing that they can never truly empathize with each other, taking a deep breath, Isabella opened her mouth and said: "Zun... Grandma is begging you..."

Having said that, Isabella stood up and directly knelt in front of Huo Zun.

Everyone was stunned by the woman’s action, rooted in their places.

Hua Nuan clenched her small fists, it seemed like the woman was determined.

For Isabella, who always values her dignity and considers herself a queen, this appears to be the limit.

Seeing the white-haired Isabella kneeling in front of him, Huo Zun’s expression shifted slightly, quickly getting up to help Isabella to her feet.

"Grandma... please don’t do this."

"Zun, if you refuse to help support the Huo Family and Huo Si, I will kneel again and will not get up."

Isabella grasped Huo Zun’s arm tightly, couldn’t help but speak.

"The Huo Family today... relies entirely on you, Zun... before it was the Huo Family that wronged you... can you forget the past and start anew?"

Hua Nuan watched Isabella play the emotional card, pursing her lips without speaking.

After all... family affairs are the most tangled and can never be unraveled.

Hua Nuan’s beautiful eyes were clear, her gaze fell on Huo Si beside her, looking at the man with an unchanged expression, she pressed her lips together.

Huo Si’s entire demeanor exuded an even stronger nonchalance compared to Huo Zun, likely having more untold secrets about the Huo Family than she has encountered.

Huo Si’s gaze landed on Isabella’s ongoing grasp on Huo Zun, his thin lips curled.

"Grandma, the Huo Family has fallen. Are you worried about losing your respected status? Otherwise, why would you be so determined... and even kneel?"

Huo Si’s somewhat sarcastic words made Isabella’s face darken, unable to help but admonish: "Shut up, Huo Si, quickly plead with Huo Zun... your brother."

"Brother? Grandma, before it was you and Dad in front of me, as well as my mother, saying... this so-called brother is an illegitimate child, not valued by the family. The reason for taking him and that wild woman in was simply because... if they weren’t taken in, should they covet luxury, they’d cause a scandal in the media, damaging the Huo Family’s reputation."

"My mother and I truly believed it all these years, and now thinking back, my mother and I were truly foolish... Alas, my mother is truly pitiful, because... all these years she was constantly deceived, endlessly arguing with her husband, ultimately depressed until her death."

Hua Nuan: "..."

Hua Nuan listened to Huo Si’s words, a bit tensely looking toward Huo Zun, indeed seeing the man’s handsome face tense, evidently affected by Huo Si’s words.

Whenever it involves words about Yang Ruo, Huo Zun ultimately can’t calmly and rationally listen.

Especially when Huo Si used the term "wild woman."

However, Huo Si’s experiences don’t seem to be any better than Huo Zun’s.

This... the Huo Family, is truly chaotic.

Hua Nuan narrowed her beautiful eyes, becoming more disgusted with Isabella and the Huo Family.

...

Hearing Huo Si reveal the truth, Isabella immediately rebuked: "You... Huo Si, shut up."

Isabella looked some at Huo Zun with some concern, urgently explaining: "Zun, listen to Grandma explain, the matter of the past, can it be written off? Grandma... these years, has always been good to you, you didn’t want to listen to me marrying Millie, wanted to marry Hua Nuan, all of this, I’ve gone along with your wishes. Can you help Grandma this time, consider it repaying the Huo Family’s upbringing of you."

"Also, Yang Ruo... this... wild woman, these... are just slanderous rumors, the servants now jokingly say them, and I will properly punish them."
