Chapter 146

The Golden-Horned Wyvern landed down in a grand fas.h.i.+on, awe-inspiring the onlookers as well as the Cauldon Family members .

Davis felt that this has grand entrance had gone way overboard but didn"t blame the Golden-Horned Wyvern for it, so he gritted his teeth and got down solemnly, well prepared to get insulted .

It didn"t even take a few seconds before the elders of the Cauldon Family came buzzing out like flies with smiling faces .

"Welcome back Prince Davis, we"ve been expecting you for quite some time now . " An elder said as he bowed .

The other elders also bowed and greeted Davis .

Davis nodded solemnly, but his heart was beating disorderedly . Even he couldn"t forgive his mistake that easily, what else could be said about her own family .

Evelynn jumped down from the Wyvern, and her appearance became visible to the elders .

The moment their gaze and sense landed on Evelynn, their faces became incomparably ugly to behold . But it quickly reverted as they kept their smiles back .

One of the elders quickly uttered, "Come back inside, we"ll continue to talk there!"

Evelynn nodded and followed that elder back to the manor .

The other elders hurriedly surrounded Davis .

Davis froze seeing the numerous elders surround him, and resigned himself to get hammered down .

"Prince Davis, don"t be disheartened, let"s go inside and talk!"

"Yes, it isn"t good if we keep you waiting outside . "

The others elders all agreed and nodded there heads with a forced smile on their faces .

"They"re unexpectedly giving me face by not beating me up right outside . . . Time and time again, this really demonstrates the power of the Royal Family . " Davis sighed while nodding his head . He then followed them inside .

In the Hall, Evelynn arrived and stood there silently without displaying a single expression on her face .

Numerous youths of the Cauldon Family who noticed the commotion outside also arrived at the Hall and stood around the corners to view the spectacle .

When they looked at Evelynn, some of them felt pity, while some of them gloated secretly, but none spoke a word to her, including her so-called cousins in the Cauldon Family, who were obviously indifferent to her status .

A figure quickly ran through the crowd, and hurriedly knelt down while crying like a fool, "Uwaaa!"

Evelynn"s expression changed, she could no longer keep her indifferent face . She instantly lifted up Maisy and hugged her in a tight embrace .

Davis entered and saw the spectacle, his nervous heart relaxed for some reason . Maybe it was because he saw someone care for her .

Grinning slightly, he was happy for her and adopted an optimistic mindset, "Heh! If they"re gonna attack, then I"ll just treat it as a Body Tempering Cultivation session!"

Suddenly, the crowd withdrew their hushed voices and went silent as a figure arrived with its eyes wide open, its face incomparably worried . Only bawling sounds could be heard from the middle of the hall .

The Family Head approached the sound as the crowd parted while his face turned increasingly worse . When the family head"s gaze landed on Evelynn, he froze as his pupils dilated .

Extending his hands, he slowly walked towards Evelynn with a dumbfounded face . Various emotions ran through his heart, compelling his legs to go closer .

His hands trembled violently when he saw his daughter"s severed arm .

Erupting with a huge anger on his face, he pointed towards Davis, "You!! . . . "

"Family Head, we advise you to take actions considering the future of our family . " Before he could even say anything, an elder beside him instantly interrupted with a solemn face .

"That"s right, we advise you to think about our family"s future before taking any decision!"

The family head froze, his face stifled with anger . He turned to look at the elders beside him while his eyes turned bloodshot .

It took a while before he calmed himself and glanced at the elders one by one .

The elders trembled a little with their faces steeled, feeling the family head"s stern gaze, but they somehow held their ground .

The family head kept nodding his head as he turned to look at Davis, but before he could even say anything, he was interrupted again by the elders .

"Prince Davis, we are sure that some kind of mishap must"ve happened during the travel, but you don"t need to take it to heart . "

"Right, mishaps occur all the time, and this was just an unfortunate accident . "

"Don"t be disheartened, just treat it as a bad dream . " An elder said as he glanced in the direction of Evelynn .

"Right, if the prince feels remorseful, he will just marry one of our grand-daughters . " Another elder agreed with the previous elder as he had a profound smile on his face .

"Well said, the prince is a responsible person, and will adhere to the words given by the Royal Family . " The other elders took some sides and hurriedly agreed while they kept nodding their heads .

"Good! Good! You all! Very Good!!" The Family Head smiled with a murderous gaze . He felt like killing these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds who were one generation above him, but above all, he felt disappointment in his heart .

He worked his life for the family and all he gets are a group of power-hungry backstabbing elders?

He suddenly started to laugh out loud, "I wondered why you people never try to listen to my words? I wasn"t sure, but now, I understand . "

Flicking his sleeves with a harrumph, he approached his daughter with a sad expression on his face . He held her bandaged arms and felt like crying .

Plopping down on his knees, he moved her bandaged arm and placed it on his forehead, "Evelynn, father has disappointed you . . . "

He felt regret! All he wanted was his daughter to have a bright future, but his daughter came back to him as a cripple .

He knew that using the excuse, that she is a cripple, these old foxes have spontaneously decided on sending their grand-daughters to be the bride for the prince .

He should"ve expected it, or rather one should say that he placed a lot of trust on these old foxes .

Seeing her father who was a strict individual in her childhood, now, purely care for her, losing all pretence and the bearing of a Family Head, she felt like bawling out her emotions but somehow calmed herself down .

She held his shoulders with her right hand and shook her head as she smiled, "You have not disappointed me, father . "

Evan Cauldon glanced up and felt even more guilt, thinking that his daughter was such an angel .

Evelynn lifted up her face and looked up at the spectacle which looked disgusting to behold .

While she was consoling her father, the elders were busy introducing their grand-daughters to Davis .

"Evelynn, can I kill these old b.a.s.t.a.r.ds?" An incomparably cold voice resounded out, shocking the entire family to the core .
