Chapter 1024: Helplessness (1/2)

Nora Alstreim's expression fell!

That's right... It just wasn't possible without a Grand Elder's help, especially a Grand Elder who possessed major influence over the internal affairs at that time! Even she felt that it could only be her grandfather, Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, who could've possibly suppressed the investigation of Claire's death.

But she also quickly recalled!

”It was because he had thought I was the one who did this! They intentionally and ingeniously made it my fault! Didn't Zeno Alstreim say so himself that he convinced Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim that it was my doing?”

”Indeed, but the fact that he suppressed remains, and the wrong still lies with your grandfather. Why is there a need for me to spare him when he is also the one who suppressed my father's rise to glory while being the Young Master and also a reason for the death of my mother?”

Nora Alstreim went increasingly pale, ”... It was Weiss...”

”Are you going to deny that Grand Elder Elise Alstreim and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim didn't have any part in it!?” Claire became angered!

Nora Alstreim trembled as her eyes became moist.

Her hatred against Weiss Alstreim, that trash... soared by a million times, but she was helpless to do anything about it in the past. At that time, when Weiss Alstreim used Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's authority to move unabated, she was nothing but a baby like Claire.

What could she have done at the point in time? She wasn't even acquainted with Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim at that time as she was just one out of many, many descendants.

Davis inwardly sighed. This was also why he initially considered killing Nora Alstreim. Even if she wasn't at fault and was innocent, they would still have to kill her because a seed of hatred would be left out unchecked after they killed the Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and the others.

These people closely cared about each other, and if any one of them were killed, it was justified and obvious that they would come seeking revenge.

Nora Alstreim looked as if she was on the brink of death, hanging on the precipice of a cliff. Her expression trembled as she daringly raised her head, ”You already humiliated me a thousandfold by doing this to me, but you can't listen to one of my requests, Claire?”

Although her expression said otherwise, her tone was one of pleading.

Claire stared at Nora Alstreim as she frowned. To be truthful, she felt distressed and remorseful of what she did to Nora Alstreim. Slapping her twice till she bled, invading her soul sea while cruelly suppressing her from being able to retaliate and further wrecking her face till it became of what even an ugly man wouldn't spare a glance... Claire truly felt conscience-stricken.

However, after coming this far, she was initially prepared to shed blood, whether it be hers or people unrelated to her quest for revenge, but because of her son and his ingenious schemes to use the Alstreim Family's lack of information about large Territories to their advantage, making Princess Isabella a Young Mistress from a mysterious powerhouse, everything went almost smoothly that even she felt that it was a dream, making her stay true to her character.

The reason she made it this far was due to her son, and so couldn't help but look at her son for further instructions as she was lost about what to do with Nora Alstreim. If he was intent on killing her for the third time, then... she decided that she would do it herself!
