Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Eavesdropping on My Master (1)
"If she holds a grudge against me, there’s nothing I can do. I’m a lady of The North Family. Since I’ve enjoyed the family’s glory, I must defend the family’s honor, even if it means sisters turning against each other!"
Claire North’s words immediately elicited a chorus of approval.
"Miss North speaks well, truly a lady of a real prominent family, not comparable to those pheasants!"
"Master Void, the new National Master, humph! With such character, how can anyone respect such a person! I believe the previous Valley Master of Ghost Doctor’s Vale must have been blind to accept such a disciple!"
"I think we can all sign a petition to protest to Ghost Doctor’s Vale and ensure the elders dismiss Raina North as the Valley Master!"
"Yes! Yes!"
Susan Kensington sighed, "People walk through the world, and integrity is more important than anything. Miss Raina North, I hope you can understand this principle and shoulder your responsibilities."
Faye Shelby could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. She stepped forward, shouting angrily, "I say, are you all stupid! Do you believe everything they say? I could also say I’m your ancestor, so why aren’t you bowing and kneeling when you see me! Ungrateful descendants, kneel before me! Kneel!"
Raina North couldn’t help but smile. Her friend Faye was as fierce as always.
She patted Faye Shelby’s hand, "Alright, they’re just mindless fools being played with. No need to pay them much attention."
Brenda Adler immediately sneered, "Raina North, it seems you will stubbornly persist and refuse to acknowledge your child?"
Faye Shelby lost her temper, "Damn it, where did this old woman come from? Why do you say that child is my master’s? Were you hiding under the bed years ago, eavesdropping on my master?"
Raina North: "..."
Brenda Adler’s face darkened, speaking coldly, "Miss Shelby, haven’t you noticed how much this child looks like Raina North?"
Faye Shelby glanced over, nodding, "There’s some resemblance."
Brenda Adler was delighted, "Since you’ve admitted it, then..."
"Hold on, admitted? Admit what?" Faye Shelby pointed to the child, "I mean the child has been made to look exactly like my master. The masterminds behind the scene really use any means to trample my master!"
"Made to look? How could such a young child have plastic surgery?" Brenda Adler was too lazy to argue with Faye Shelby, directly confronting Raina North, "Raina North, are you sure you won’t acknowledge it?"
Raina North raised an eyelid, "Acknowledge what? If my apprentice says it’s plastic surgery, then it’s plastic surgery. If you insist it’s not, then just get an expert to examine it."
Brenda Adler’s face sank, "Raina North, are you using your identity as Ghost Doctor Nowhere to completely deny the existence of this child? Do you even count as a mother?"
The reporter nearby couldn’t hold back, "Is this the idol everyone worships? How truly disappointing!"
"Mrs. North raised Raina North, even if not a biological child, those years of nurturing were real, yet Raina North treats Mrs. North this way. Where is her manners? Her upbringing? All fed to the dogs?"
"If Void possesses such character, no matter how advanced her medical skills, I wouldn’t acknowledge her as a National Master!"
"Little one, don’t cry. Even if Raina North won’t acknowledge you, it doesn’t matter. So many of us will surely raise you!"
Raina North listened to the surrounding people’s accusations, then looked at Claire North’s undisguised smugness and felt extremely frustrated.
Anya Forrest, with a stern face, stepped forward, about to speak but was stopped by Raina North.
Anya Forrest frowned, "Raina, are you alright? People are openly shitting on you, and you’re just letting them?"
"..." The picture Anya painted was really strong, yuck...
