Imagine this: the head of one of the eight major families in Capital City, a woman who could be considered below only one person and above ten thousand, was suddenly being lectured by a penniless, powerless young boy. Who wouldn't feel aggrieved in her place?
Yet, compelled by Jiang Ce's formidable strength, Old Madam Wang could only swallow her anger, glaring at him with a look of pure venom.
In truth, Jiang Ce wasn't sparing Old Madam Wang solely for Wang Xinyao's sake. Another significant reason was that only the old madam herself could officially cancel the engagement. Furthermore, keeping her alive would allow him to use her as bait to draw out others who were still plotting against him in the shadows.
After saying his piece, Jiang Ce turned to leave.
But who could have foreseen it? At that very moment, figures appeared like ghosts in the night, materializing one after another to surround Jiang Ce completely.
