Chapter 1044

"Alright, alright! Stop whining. I’m biased toward you too!"

Nash could not hold back his laughter as h e looked at his lovely daughter in front of him. "My dear

Yule, you're becoming more and more charming and beautiful! By the way, you're considered as the

young generation of the Woods family, so you can register for the competition too!"

"Hmph! That’s for sure! My strength and fighting prowess are not weak at all! You can’t blame me when

I defeat Brother Fane in the competition!"

Yule pouted and huffed angrily.

"Yule, whatever you’ve heard just now, don’t tell anyone else. Do you understand?"

Lizzie reminded Yule after thinking about the seriousness of the matter. "After all, if the incident of your

father being poisoned i s true, it means that the one who poisoned your father is someone really close

to him! It's horrible!”

"Yes, Mom! I understand. I won't go around and spread it. I won't talk about it at all!"

Yule bobbed obediently, and then she said," I'll wait until Brother Fane is free, then I’ll have a good chat

with him. I really want to know what the outside world looks like! How does it feel like growing up in a

secular world? For a person to grow up in a secular world and dare to participate in the competition of

the heir of the Woods family, he must be really brave and confident. I truly want to know the level of his

combat prowess!"

Titus spoke to Nash after a moment of silence, "Master Woods, did you really exclude Mrs. Woods from

the list of suspects who poisoned you? There are not many people who are close to you and are able

to poison you without you noticing. Fane suspected Mrs. Woods with good reason after all, and I do

feel that Fane’s right. Mrs. Woods is the most suspicious!”

The First Elder had a gloomy look on his face. "He’s right. This poison is so strong that even we—

excellent martial artists— could not detect it. Moreover, Master

Woods, your prowess is way stronger than u s, but you still got poisoned. For us, ordinary poisons are

useless and can't do u s any harm. So, we must get rid of the person who poisoned you! Such a

person is a scourge!

Nash understood the severity of this matter as well. If Fane did not arrive in time, Nash would never

have known in his life that he was poisoned; he might wonder if he had gotten any strange disease.

Nonetheless, Nash and Lily were married for years and they cared for each other dearly. Hence, Nash

could not bring himself to believe the possible truth. He shook his head and blurted, "We don't have

any proof in this matter, so let’s not accuse somebody of something that is not proven. After all, the

Woods family was a rather small family back then, and Lily was the one who lifted the family up. She

chose to marry me even when the Lagorio family was opposing. The pressure that she bore was

tremendous. And after that, together with Lily, we make the Woods family stronger and stronger!"

Nash suddenly paused and popped a question to the crowd, "Do you really think that such a person

would poison me? Would she be so ruthless?"

"Master Woods, people do change over time!"

After a moment of silence, Titus decided to break the silence and reminded, "In the past, Mrs. Woods

merely wanted to stop you from seeing Joan and Fane. But what about now? She sent people to

assassinate them! Do you still think that she is the same old Lily Lagorio?"

Titus echoed, "He's right. We’ve sent too

many people out there, it's not a good thing. If suddenly there's any prominent family or strong authority

coming to us, we'll be in big trouble! Fortunately, we have not been offending any other powerful

families; we always ask our men to be calm and tolerant even when our men are bullied. Sigh..."

"Alright! I get it. I'll keep this in mind and b e careful toward her!"
