Ada sighed:

"A person like him, whether he becomes a wealthy businessman, the chief magician, or the heir to the Duke, is better than someone else."

I think the Duke vetoed Sheen with the ridiculous reason that "Sheen is no match for Xiren who has been trained by the family for many years"... Maybe when the Duke knows the truth, he will cry to death on the spot.

"...You have to learn from this experience." Mrs. Jones' words brought Ada back to her senses.

Then, Mrs. Jones said calmly:

"When you reach the position of a saint, you have to wear the saint's mask and sing and dance on the stage of the temple. I have experienced those days. Those days were filled with wealth and glory...

"Of course, there are also people's ill intentions and conflicts of interest."

Ada was stunned for a moment, and looked at Mrs. Jones with a puzzled look:

"I don't think I ever said anything about revenge for my mother?"

Mrs. Jones smiled and explained to Ada:

"Well, from the moment you insisted on wearing that dress to Queen Sherlock's party, I knew what you were thinking.

"I'm an experienced person. Don't I know what's going on in your little head?"

Mrs. Jones recalled how little Ada had asked her about her life experience, and how she was shocked and then disgusted after learning the truth about her life.

Of course, the lady remembered that what little Ada said was not the child's habitual thinking of "Why are mom and dad not together", but:

"If the Lord hadn't done this to Mom, Mom wouldn't be in such a miserable situation!"

From that time on, Mrs. Jones knew:

Ada looks like him, but she still has some of the lord's temper.

"You can endure for many years for the sake of your goal, and then trample your opponent under your feet in the end", "Find a scapegoat after causing a quarrel, and then quietly retreat"

The father and daughter are simply cut from the same cloth.

Ada stared at her mother blankly, fear in her golden eyes.

"You may hate Alex. But you have his blood flowing in your veins.

"You are still like him in some ways."

Mrs. Jones looked at Ada with half-opened eyes, then squinted and smiled.

“Of course I didn’t say anything like ‘He’s your father, you can’t hate him’ – in fact, I gave up revenge for you.

"I want you to be carefree and happy forever."

This was the helpless decision made by Mrs. Jones who was in trouble at the time: to quickly stay away from Alex and marry the Lord of the Demon Tower, so that the part of fatherly love in Ada's life would be complete.

"Mother..."

Ada lowered her head, she was also helpless.

"I can't let the sinner who brought you torture go unpunished.

"I already know what happened between you and the Lord. My father (the Lord of the Demon Tower) told me. He actually did so many evil things to you...

Having said that, Ada clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

"I have to make him be punished, that's why I...I'm sorry..."

Nancy looked at her daughter helplessly—

"'He must be punished'... that's Alex's style as well."

Mrs. Jones reached out and touched Ada's white hair:

"I don't think what you're doing is wrong. In fact, I have no objection to whichever path you choose.

"You and Romos didn't tell me that you borrowed the dress in order to protect me. But I asked him."

Seeing Ada's serious look, Mrs. Jones continued:

“It’s okay Ada.

“Since you want to avenge me, I will of course support you and do my best to help you.

"I'm just saying that you have to be careful on the road ahead while ensuring your own safety."

It can be heard that Mrs. Jones actually knew about Ada's revenge plan a long time ago - work hard to increase her holy power, become the best in the theology department, appear at the banquet as a viscount, and get engaged to Eric...

"These are all means to make the Lord accept Ada: because there are enough benefits to be gained!"

Ada looked up and then hugged her mother.

As Mrs. Jones embraced Ida, she whispered to her:

"Now...

""Sheen controls the lifeline of business, you should control the social world.""

...

The Magic Tower's carriage slowly drove into the imperial palace compound.

When Scott got off the bus, many people wanted to ask him about the entire arbitration meeting.

"Mr. Scott, what exactly happened during the entire arbitration meeting...can you tell us the details of the specific contents?"

The scene was very much like a press conference...or the scene when a celebrity makes an appearance and paparazzi want to get his autograph.

"Well..."

Scott was already feeling unwell, so he could only shake his hand to refuse them:

"Ah... Time is running out, I have to get in quickly..."

The nobles nearby refused to give in and continued to stop him:

"Oh, there's still half an hour left. Just tell me, tell me."

Ivan followed Scott silently, watching the rude attitude of the enthusiastic crowd of onlookers.

"If I were still Sheen, I would have just started cursing."

Seeing Scott's pale face and evasive eyes, Ivan knew that he didn't want to answer these questions.

Scott was indeed not feeling well today.

A bit passive.

"Okay, this is the only way I can use for now. Scott, you can return the money to me later..." Ivan thought as he reached into his pocket and took out a box of chewing gum.

Then, Ivan took a few steps forward and walked in front of Scott, and stretched out his right hand holding the chewing gum to the nobles gathered here:

"Thank you for waiting here for so long. Try the new vanilla-flavored chewing gum produced by the Earl of Eaton.

"This is a new chewing gum that will be launched on the market in two weeks~"

"Ivan..."

Scott was stunned - "This guy actually came here to promote his new product?!"

Ivan ignored Scott's gaze and continued to brazenly promote:

"So please make way, because we really don't have much time."

Since it was a new product and a rare chewing gum, the nobles who were naturally curious about it were immediately attracted to it.

"Ah, really?"

"It's hard to buy genuine chewing gum under the name of Earl of Eton. Please give me some..."

"thanks, thanks."

This trick actually worked, and those nobles who played supporting roles really only paid attention to the gum.

Scott stayed where he was, and Ivan took advantage of the chaos to touch Scott's hand.

"??"

Scott felt something hard grabbing his arm, and then he was dragged out by Ivan.

Ivan's posture almost made Scott fly away:

"Why are you running away? And remember to give me twenty gold coins afterwards. Consider it as paying for solving the problem!"

"Ah, thank you..."

Scott looked at Ivan's black left hand and was panicked at first.

But the strange thing was that even though Ivan had long red nails on his left hand, it didn't hurt at all when he scratched Scott's arm.

"I thought it would emit putrefaction... Is it because Ivan has it under control?"
