Chapter 554 Alicia Was Put Under House Arrest

“I’m a member of the Archer family, Grandpa. Of course I’d find a way out for our family!” Hearing Lawrence’s praise, Nicholas was ecstatic.

“if we defect to Vadesia, we can stay in Southlake City, right?” Lawrence asked.

“Of course. If we defect to Vadesia, it means we’re on their side. We won’t be unharmed even if they invade Southlake City,” Nicholas said.

“Send a reply to Kenzie immediately and tell him that we, the Archer family, have already decided to defect to Vadesia,” Lawrence said.

“Yes, Grandpa! I’ll get in contact with him right away!” Nicholas nodded.

The Hudson family was also in dire straits. Naturally, they didn’t want to give up on their businesses in Southlake City as well. However, they didn’t have any better solutions.

Richard took the chance to share with them the solution he thought of, which was to seek refuge in Vadesia, and the family ultimately decided to do so.

Alicia was worried, though.

“Betraying one’s country is punishable by a death sentence! I think this isn’t a good solution, as it might put the family in danger. I hope that everyone can think about it more carefully,” Alicia advised.

“You’re just my granddaughter-in-law. You don’t have the right to dictate what the family’s going to do, so just do as we say,” Richard’s grandfather, Grant Hudson, said.

“Alicia, your excessive kindness has no place here. You shouldn’t stick your nose into the family’s business, either,” Richard reprimanded.

“What? Do I not even have the right to speak? Committing treason is a serious crime. What you’re doing now is bringing about your own destruction!” Alicial said with righteous indignation.

“How rude! What do you know? You’re only my granddaughter-in-law! Do nothing, and the family will lose our family wealth. Only after seeking refuge in Vadesia will we have a way out,” Grant snapped.

“The situation in Díatoran indeed doesn’t look good, but you’re thinking of defecting to the enemy when our soldiers are fighting on the battlefield.
