Jiang Yue's face sunk while looking at the additional 10 or so men who were walking towards them. "What is this? Are you trying to detain me?"

At this point, Jiang Yue was already confused.

Last night, she clearly heard that they are not planning to touch her because they don't want to offend her.

Did something change?

"Well, since you refuse to listen and insist on your ways. We will detain you until we take care of that man of yours. Or you can choose to save him by joining us." Antonio gave her a chilly smile.

Confidence laced his wizened face.

He was confident that his threats would work on Jiang Yue...just like what he did to her grandmother.

Years ago, Antonio Pardi also dreamt of having the power that the Vercello family holds.

As a candidate to marry the future Matriarch, Antonio viewed himself as someone important, respected.

Who would have thought that Natalie Vercello would suddenly run away with another man?

Leaving him alone and a laughingstock to the whole Vercello Clan?

This was something that Antonio never experience before.

Because of this, he did all he can to find Natalie and drag her back to the Emerald Country.

He threatened the woman to kill her children and husband if she would not pretend to wed him in front of her family.

And just like every other woman, Natalie gave in.

She left her family and twins to join Antonio in his quest in obtaining the Vercello family.

The only regret that he had is not having Natalie become the mother of his children.

Now he had to find another person to inherit his throne.

Good thing that his brother who is almost 15 years younger than him had Peter Pardi.

Another excellent individual which reminded him so much of himself.

Now, all he needed is to do the same thing towards Jiang Yue.

Use her weakness to manipulate her.

"You are threatening me." Jiang Yue stated, his gaze cold as resentment started to grow inside her.

The thing that she hated the most is being threatened.

"Well, we know that you are listening last night so we had to put out a show. Make it look convincing." The First Elder explained. "Now why don't you go back to your seat and let's start all over again? Hmm?"
