Immediately, Scarlett confronted Mingde Saint Envoy, her expression indignant. "Father, you can't do this!"
"Do I need you to remind me how to do things?" Mingde Saint Envoy retorted coldly.
"I have to tell him!" Scarlett declared, turning to leave.
But at that moment, Mingde Saint Envoy spoke with grim finality, "Scarlett, the moment you step out of this hall, you are no longer my daughter!"
"You have already brought disaster upon the Mingde Family once. Are you really going to completely destroy us this time?"
Scarlett spun back around. "Father, I know your heart is set on the Mingde Family, but you are making a grave mistake by using me as a bargaining chip!"
"Please forgive your unfilial daughter, but this time, I must tell him. I cannot be the one to harm him!" Scarlett asserted.
With deep sorrow in his voice, Mingde Saint Envoy said, "Then go."
