“Miss Simmons, as you know, you can enter the ancestral temple as you please, but Miss Moran is an outsider. She isn’t allowed to go in Noelle didn’t want to escalate things further, so she replied, “Alright, I won’t go in. I’ll just wait for you outside the temple.”
Lucinda nodded and opened the door open.
In the ancestral temple, Atticus sat at the head seat. His chest heaved with anger and his eyes were ablaze with fury.
Beside him, Florrie watched the spectacle with amusement.

Atticus’ anger seemed to soften as he looked at Lucinda.
“Why are you back? Are you here to support Cyrus?”
“Daddy, don’t say that. This is also my home. Can’t I come back and check on things?” Lucinda retorted.
While she spoke, she took out a tissue and began wiping away the tea stains on Cyrus’ clothes.
“Cyrus, was the tea hot? Did you get burned? Unbutton your shirt, let me see your shoulder.”
“It was just warm tea, not hot. Don’t worry,” Cyrus reassured her, shaking his head.
Atticus snorted with displeasure.
Lucinda’s immediate concern was for Cyrus, completely disregarding his own feelings, since he was angry.
When Lucinda heard this, she quickly rushed forward and squatted down at Atticus’ feet and placed her arms on his lap which was covered with a blanket. She looked up at him, smiling sweetly.
“Dad, you’re usually so mild-mannered and rarely get angry. What happened today? Why did you get so furious that you even threw a teacup at Cyrus?”
As she mentioned this, Atticus grew even angrier. He glared at Cyrus and said, “He broke off the engagement with the Hernandez family without my consent. He even got with that actress while he still had a fiancee.
Santos came personally to beg for forgiveness. He asked me to convince Cyrus to stop opposing the Hernandez family and help resolve the situation.”
Cyrus’ hands tightened into fists and blue veins bulged out.
“I’ve already been lenient enough by not rubbing salt in their wounds. They expect me to help them? Dream on!”
“You! Ahem!”
Atticus was choked and his face turned red with anger. He then coughed violently.
