Finnian said coldly, “In any case, you’d best watch yourself. If Kamari truly harbors treacherous ambitions, I will have no choice but to cast you out of the Charlic family.”

Ashley furrowed his brows. “Grandfather, the Queen Mother once ruled in the King’s stead, disrupting the natural order. The King himself is weak–willed, his governance stagnant, and in recent years, the surrounding barbarian states have repeatedly invaded our borders. “The Empire is on the brink of collapse. Now, the King has stepped forward–this is destiny at work. With your vast wisdom, if you were to guide a true ruler, imagine the heights our family could reach in the future.”

Finnian stared at her, his expression changing drastically.

He did not completely believe Keith. He was testing Ashley.

Little did they expect, this trial immediately revealed Kamari’s hidden ambitions.

He thought, Kamari indeed har

thoughts of rebellion.

Ashley continued, seeing that he remained silent, thinking he might be swayed, and pressed on, “Grandfather, the current Queen Mother has caused chaos in the palace. First, she became the late King’s Queen, then married the regent, who was later crowned the King. “Now, she is the Queen Mother, but whose Queen Mother is she? The late King’s or the regent’s? The turmoil all stems from the Queen Mother. The King seeks to restore order and expel those who have corrupted the court. “He will surely earn the support of the people. Grandfather, everything I say today is for the good of our family. Please, consider carefully. If you are willing to support the King, he will respect you.”

Finnian slowly stood up, walking around the room with his hands behind his back. He then fixed his gaze on her, his eyes filled with a painful and disappointed expression as if reproaching her for her actions. “Leave. From now on, don’t come back. Whether you live or die, it has nothing to do with the Charlie family. Consider it as if I never adopted you,” he said.

Finnian had lived his entire life without children, so he had taken in an orphaned baby girl in his later years, raising her as his own granddaughter.

He named her Ashley. Sadly, she had betrayed his expectations.

After being chased out of the family, Ashley was not sad at all. Her tone was regretful. “Since you insist, so be it. However, I will wait for you to change your mind at any time.”

With that, she bowed and left.

Outside the door, Halcyon happened to come over. When she saw Ashley, she was delighted. Halcyon held her hand and said, “You’re back! Stay for dinner tonight.”

Ashley bowed slightly. “No, thanks. Mrs. Charlie. Goodbye.”
