Chapter 933: "The Nash family isn't like what it used to be under Brian's leadership anymore. To me, you're just someone from a tiny, failing noble family-essentially worthless. If Tiffany hadn't tied the knot with Connor, do you really think I'd have even bothered reaching out to you?" Gerry felt the heat rise to his cheeks, shflooding through him as he realized just how belittled he was. Yet, he didn't have the guts to fight back.
Aelfric continued, "If you get booted from the Nash family, what use do you still have for me? Do you honestly think I'd still work with you? Your only bargaining chip is your connection to the Nash family.
Stick around, and you can helpdig up information on Tiffany and build connections with Riss's team. Think it through. Get the boot, and you're off my radar. Stay in the family, and I might still keep tabs on you. The ball's in your court!" More available at galnovesAfter reading Aelfric's message, Gerry was a whirlwind of emotions.

"I was born into the Nash family and will remain loyal to it until the end," Gerry stated, his choked voice filling the silence.
"Everything I've done was for the good of the family.
But, now that I'm clearly in the wrong, having offended the head of the family and broken family rules, I'll take responsibility and face the consequences." Crosby felt like crying upon hearing his father's declaration. He didn't have a choice but to also take the punishment, which was two hours of kneeling on dog poop daily.
Just thinking about the humiliating ordeal ahead filled him with immense repulsion and unrest, but he couldn't even voice his protest.
"I'll honor your decision, Uncle Gerry," Marissa said, her tone casual but firm.
"Since you decided to stay, you must learn to respect the decisions made by the family head and trust the successor to the family head. That is, if you truly want what's best for the family." "I understand," Gerry responded with a resigned nod.
Leaving the matter at that, Marissa turned to Landen and handed him the box.

Landen did as he was told, handing out the priceless MindEase Elixirs to each member of the Nash family as if they were candies.
Everyone was overjoyed as they received their share of the miraculous elixir.
Gerry and Crosby were also given one each, turning their frowns inta smiles in an instant, like kids given in an treats after being reprimanded for their wrongdoings.

With the ruction ironed out and each person having received a MindEase family Elixir, no one in the Nash objected. They all went hwith huge smiles on their faces. Shortly after, Ferris also excused himself and headed back.
