NOVPUBChapter 892: 434 Retreat Route_2 Chapter 892: 434 Retreat Route_2 “Opportunity?” Agave Rinto sneered, his gaze cold and mocking.
“From today onwards, Vermilion Hall will be temporarily managed by Ricky Wood.
The anniversary of the old master is approaching, pack up your stuff and return to our hometown to attend to his grave,” he suggested.
“No, I can’t go back.” Guele Rinto screamed.
Early on, Pindo Rinto had chosen his own burial site, reportedly checked by a feng shui master, located on Rosschilham Mountain near their hometown.
Once during Tomb Sweeping Day, she was nearly scared to death by the old folks in her hometown.
The saying that rebels come from difficult environments was spot-on; the feudal superstitions of the ignorant and backward villagers were extraordinarily strong.
...
An old woman held her back, claiming that her face indicated Widowhood, and took her home to drink charmed water to ward off evil spirits.
Guele Rinto ran away overnight, and since then, she had feigned illness every time Pindo Rinto’s death anniversary came around.
Either way, her hometown was a hellish place for Guele Rinto, and she would rather die than return.
Moreover, once she goes back, will she be able to return?
Agave Rinto is trying to exile her.
This time, Guele Rinto was genuinely terrified.
Without even looking at her, Agave Rinto signalled to the housekeeper to see the guest out.
The housekeeper approached Guele Rinto: “Miss Guele, attending to Master Iver’s grave is your blessing.”
Guele Rinto retorted without thinking: “Where would a dead man get such good fortune?
If it’s such good fortune, do you want it?”
Complete silence filled the hall.
Only when Guele Rinto noticed her mistake was it too late.
Pindo Rinto’s biological daughter was sitting there.
“I…I didn’t mean it that, way…
It’s always been an honor attending Uncle Iver’s grave, it’s just too early before the commemoration, why not wait until after the New Year!.”
Guele Rinto’s voice gradually faded.
Pindo Rinto, was deeply superstitious about Feng Shui in his lifetime and befriended many Feng Shui masters.
Could any of these so-called masters foresee that he would die tragically and his family would break apart?
Therefore, Feng Shui is a scam in her perspective.
Silence, prolonged silence.
The gentle voice of the young lady broke the silence, like a stream of spring water slowly flowing through the heart.
“The dead are gone, the living are like this, Sister’s filial piety is commendable, and Father must be relieved in the spirit of Heaven.”
Without thinking, Guele Rinto shivered, suddenly feeling a chill down her spine.
This girl is so cunning, does she really think people can’t hear the sarcasm?
With reverse words said out loud, only she could utter such sarcastic words without changing her expression.
Dallyn almost laughed out loud, only just managing to cover her mouth in time.
Mistress was fantastic.
Mistress should write a book called “The Art of Speaking”.
“Aubree Groove, don’t take Sister’s mindless words to heart.
Uncle Iver is my most respected elder.
When I was young, Uncle Iver took good care of me, in my heart, he’s just like my father.” Guele Rinto regained her composure and forced a smile.
The young lady in front of her had a pair of clear, dark eyes, looking at her tenderly, inexplicably making Guele Rinto shiver.
Guele Rinto was taken aback, “Au…Aubree Groove.”
“Uncle Dim,” Agave Rinto warned.
Butler Rinto sighed, “Miss Guele, please.”
He remembered it was right here, just half a month ago, that Guele Rinto strutted around arrogantly.
The woman standing before him now, pallid and haggard, seemed to be a different person entirely.
If only she could foresee the present, why the past.
Guele Rinto gloomily murmured, “Tengxiao, listen to your aunt’s explanation…”.
Silvia Hayes hadn’t expected that the card of affection wouldn’t work on her cousin.
He was determined to send her mother back to their hometown.
It would be easy to return, but difficult to come back, by which time there would no longer be a place for her mother in the Rinto family.
Silvia Hayes had a chaotic mind.
She knew her cousin better than her mother, and once her cousin made a decision, no one could change it.
The housekeeper cautioned, “Miss Guele, Master McKay has given you enough face.
Don’t make the scene uglier.”
Guele Rinto shot him a fierce glare.
Now even the housekeeper dared to challenge her.
“Considering that my sister must have learned from her mistakes, the New Year is coming soon, which is a good time for family reunions.
How can we let my sister go back home alone?
Why don’t we wait until after the New Year?”
Aubree Groove suddenly spoke up for Guele Rinto, which no one expected.
Given the things that Guele Rinto had said and done, she was far from qualified as a member of the Rinto family.
Only what she had done to Aubree Groove, even though it was never said outright, everyone knew the truth.
Therefore, this is the main reason why Agave Rinto wants to send her back to their hometown.
But Aubree Groove stood up for her, and this changes the nature of the situation.
