Beyond the Divorce

It's Settled



When I saw his eagerness and lack of composure, I quickly spoke up. "You've got it all wrong. I asked you to speak, so I can definitely help you. "Anson wouldn't have left any leeway if it were impossible. He's old. He misses those who used to be around him, especially since you were once his adopted son and called him father." My tone left no room for doubt.

But in my mind, I thought about it.

I wasn't lying to him. Returning to the Huffman family would definitely not be an issue, but dealing with him afterward would be another problem. After all, he was a ruthless killer, and figuring out how to deal with him would be crucial.

When he heard my words, Millard, who had been waiting anxiously, suddenly brightened up. I could even see a faint smile on his face.

I continued calmly. "However, as the current adopted daughter of the Huffman family, I can't let the Huffman family take a wrong step because of me. "So, how do you plan to return? With what identity? You'll have to figure that out yourself. Based on your current state-working for a ruthless man, killing without hesitation and showing no signs of remorse there's no way you'll pass the test, let alone become the true head of the Huffman family." "That goes without saying. I'm well aware of that," Millard said confidently.

"That's good. I'll find a way for you to do that, but your performance is up to you." We had entered into a negotiation.

After a moment of thought, I continued, "You grew up in the Huffman family. Although the Huffman family walks a fine line, it has its own strict rules. You need to accept them. As long as you sincerely repent and abide by the Huffman family's rules, I'll support you returning."

"Agreed." Millard finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"After all... even though I'm still somewhat favored in the Huffman family and am grateful for Anson's affection, this is not an empty boast. So, you need to remember this: if you remain as you were before eager for quick success and narrow-minded-I won't agree to bring you back. I can't afford to embarrass myself like that."

I made things clear, adding some pressure. "The path back won't be easy."

He nodded, understanding. "Of course.

"But how will you help me? That's the most important question right now. I'm not some kind of savior. I hope you'll stand on the right side even in this situation. I do need help, but. lowered my voice, glancing at the armed men and hinting at something.

Millard immediately understood my meaning and looked at his armed subordinates.

After some thought, he said, "So, you want to rescue Rory?"

I looked sharply at him. "Yes. I want to save my father."

"Alright, but you'll have to come back with me because I've already told Navi that I've found your trail. And you're alone." I had no doubt that Millard was telling the truth.

Since Atlas was at the base, I wanted to go back there.

"Don't worry, I take you back and ensure your safety. After all, when I return to the Huffman family, I'l

my condition. As for Anson, I'll

prepare a gift for him separately. I am not an unreasonable person."

Millard had thought this through. No wonder the people in this village had all become sacrificial lambs.

Perhaps this was the "gift" he was giving to Navi.

"Deal. I'll go back with you." I quickly agreed, but I glanced at his subordinates, and Millard immediately understood.

He turned around leisurely and said a few words to his men.
