Chapter 663: Sea City’s Huang Family
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The organizer of this banquet was the Huang Family of Sea City. They were a family that had been established for hundreds of years. Although they couldn’t compare to their former glory and could only hide in Sea City, they were still an old family.
Therefore, the Huang family could be considered to be influential in the local area. The local families respected his family.
They invited Sophie to the banquet at the request of the entire Sea City family.
Only by meeting this princess could he judge how to deal with her next.
They were not fools. They could tell that Sophie had other motives for appearing in front of the public in such a grand manner. Most likely, she was doing it for the benefit of her country.
In the end, this matter had nothing to do with them, but the Jiang family had strongly supported Sophie.
The meaning behind this was different. The Jiang family of Xiyun had always kept a low profile. If they could not get involved in other people’s matters, they would not.
They had such a huge family business, but were always overlooked. It was because the Jiang family had a sharp sense of politics and would never be easily involved in these things.
This time, the Zou family did not stop them from pushing Sophie out with great fanfare. It was obvious that there was internal news.
They also wanted to get a share of the benefits, but as fellow aristocratic families, they would definitely not beg humbly.
It would be best if they could talk to Sophie directly. Since she needed the support of families in China, it would be the same if it was another family.
Therefore, the Huang family took the lead in organizing this banquet, hoping to find an opportunity to quietly take Sophie away for a chat.
The Huang family and some families had such plans, but many families didn’t know about it at all. They had been showing off in Sea City for too long and had long forgotten their own abilities.
As far as they were concerned, Sea City was their own territory, and Sophie was just a foreign princess. Her inheritance rights were so far away that she had nothing to do with the throne in this life.
They had to show their identities. It would be best if they could scare this princess.
That was why Wu Xue’s incident happened. She was urged by many people to provoke the other party. She thought that it would be easy to do so, but she was exposed and even about to be sent to the police station.
The Huang family did not want to continue causing trouble. The head of the family, Huang Jing, walked out and said, “The banquet is still ongoing. Let’s put this matter aside. How we deal with it in the future will depend on Princess Sophie.”
He felt that everyone had to give him some face, but the two people in front of him would only treat him as an accomplice.
Sophie looked at her coldly. “She’s already committed murder, she naturally has to be handed over to the Chinese law to be judged. You said that the subsequent punishment depends on what I do. Is that a joke?”
Huang Jing did not expect Sophie to be so difficult. “I was wrong, but no matter who it is, it’s better to wait until after this banquet. Everyone is still waiting for Princess Sophie.”
Jiang An sneered. “Mr. Huang, what you said is really ridiculous. You were the ones who insisted on sending an invitation to Sophie, but you caused such a thing. Isn’t the responsibility in your family? Yet you’re accusing Sophie of delaying the banquet.”
Jiang An said word by word, “How shameless.”
The first sentence could only be said to be impolite. Huang Jing could still bear it with his head lowered. In any case, he had lived for so many years and had heard many unpleasant words. However, the last sentence was basically pointing at his nose and cursing.
Huang Jing raised his head and glared at him. “Jiang An, are you trying to become enemies with our Huang family by saying such things?”
Jiang An really hated Huang Jing. Just now, when Sophie was being targeted, no one in their family came out to stop it. They just watched coldly as their esteemed guest was humiliated.
If Sophie hadn’t fought back in time, if she hadn’t come along, Sophie would have been a laughing stock today.
They were the ones who insisted on inviting her over. After inviting her over, they wanted to take her down a notch. This was already disgusting.
It was obvious that she was the one who had forced Wu Xue to death. If there was still a trace of justice in her heart, they should quickly send her to the police station.
At this moment, Huang Jing stopped pretending to be dead. He stood up and wanted to mess the matter up. It was really disgusting to pretend that he was doing this for her sake.
That was why Jiang An spoke so bluntly. If she couldn’t take it anymore, there was no need to endure it anymore.
Even if more families objected, she would insist on sending Wu Xue in. She wanted her to pay the price for that child’s death.
She said firmly, “What if I say yes?”
Sophie thought so too. She stood beside Jiang An and said, “I support An’an. The Huang family’s upbringing is indeed not good. I won’t accept your family’s invitations in the future..”
