Chapter 677 Are You Sure?

Silence fell over Quintana Manor as all eyes shifted to Jethro.

s

As the second-generation leader of the Quintanas and a high-ranking figure in Draconia, his quiet anger was enough to make everyone tremble.

In any prestigious family, if an incident like this disrupted a formal gathering, even the most composed host wouldn't remam calm.

And here. at Quintana Manor, a gathering place for the Eight Great Royal Houses, Jethro's reaction was

nevitable.

Everyone present held their breath, bracing for the storm.

Since Robin had disrupted the gathering and caused a scene, it was certain Jethro would demand an explanation. Seeing the tense a

atmosphere, Gavin stepped forward, beginning to explain. "General Quintana, this matter

But Robin cut him off with a cold snort. "Gavin, you're in no position to speak here. Step back!"

His sharp command left no room for negotiation, escalating the situation.

Gavin's attempt at a diplomatic solution, which could have defused tensions, was immediately shut down.

Even if Jethro was displeased. he would likely have respected Gavin's influence and Robin's position as an officer, allowing a peaceful resolution.

However, Robin's blunt dismissal was a clear sign of disrespect to the Quintanas.

Zayn shook his head meaningfully.

Robin, Jethro isn't someone to cross lightly. He's a powerful military figure, a head of the second generation of the Eight Kings.

If you don't show the Quintanas some respect, you're setting yourself up for serious trouble. With your status and power, keeping this attitude will only lead to your downfall. The young heirs from the other residences looked at Robin with disbelief.

Was he simply young and arrogant, or did he truly lack any understanding of how things worked? Did he truly expect the Quintanas to yield on their ground today?

In any situation, it was wise to leave some room for future reconciliation. That was the most basic rule of dealing with others.

But Robin's dismissive attitude seemed to be blocking his path, step by step. His arrogance confused everyone-it was beyond anything they'd ever seen. Ugally, arrogance meant picking on those weaker, but Robin was displaying pride and defiance even against families with more influence and power.

After Robin's harsh rebuke, Gavin was left speechless, and the atmosphere grew even tenser.

Jethro, however, didn't immediately question Robin or react to Maverick's handling of the situation.

Instead, his gaze fell on Wesley, who lay injured on the ground.

Several bodyguards from the Judds were tending to his wounds.

Noticing Jethro's stare, Wesley quickly forced himself up, despite his pain, and crawled over. "General Quintana. I'm responsible for everything that happened today!" he exclaimed.

Jethro's eyes narrowed, his expression dark. "Explain yourself," he demanded.

Wesley pointed to Joanna, who stood behind Robin. "I was just walking in the manor when she approached. me, starting a conversation and trying to seduce me. You know me, sir. I'm an upright person and never look for women on a whim. "Even if I sometimes make the kind of mistakes any man might, I only connect with those who share my interests among the employees in our company. What I'm saying is true. You can ask around-most of the female staff in our company are.... Wesley trailed off, realizing he'd revealed too much.

Uh. General Quintana, let's not focus on that. What I want to emphasize is that this kind of woman is beneath me. How could I fall for her schemes?

"What's even more outrageous is that a woman of such low status tried to seduce me, and when it didn't work, she accused me of harassing her!

Then, Robin attacked me without reason, violently severing my arm! General Quintana, this happened on your grounds. You must demand an explanation on my behalf!"

Joanna, listening to Wesley's account, was almost driven mad with frustration. She couldn't believe such shamelessness existed.

She wanted to speak up and defend herself, but seeing Robin's calm silence, she had no choice but to hold back the anger rising within her.

Jethro glanced at Joanna, then turned back to Wesley, his voice cold. "Are you certain you want to stick with that version of events?"

Wesley hesitated. "General Quintana, I. I swear it's the truth."

Jethro's expression remained indifferent as he replied, "Let me remind you that any deception in your words will cost you your life. I'm giving you one last chance to speak honestly." Wesley trembled under Jethro's icy stare, realizing he couldn't back down now. If he admitted to harassing Joanna and causing this incident, Jethro wouldn't let him leave alive.

"Very well, Jethro said. "In that case, let's pull up the surveillance footage from the Quintana Manor and see for ourselves. If you're lying, there will be no mercy" Thu, 5 Dec

Wesley stammered, scrambling for words. "Please spare me! I didn't mean to deceive you!"

Before he could plead for mercy, two guards seized him, tossed him into a transport cart, and drove him toward the mountains.

The crowd was stunned. Maverick, too, was left wondering what his father's actions meant.

The other heirs from the seven major residences looked on, just as puzzled.
