Chapter: 331
Astelle knew her father well.
Her father was a person who spared anything for the future that could be someone else’s weakness.
The late Empress Dowager’s belongings must have been kept because he thought it would be Astelle’s weakness.
However, Astelle had no desire to do whatever he wanted as a condition for her father to hand over the belongings.
“I’m not going to give you anything you want. Return the belongings of the late Empress Dowager and go back to the mansion.”
The duke’s light green eyes flashed. Anger filled those eyes that looked just like Astelle.
“How dare you say such a thing to your father!”
“As you may not know, anyone who has someone else’s belongings and does not return them is accused of thieves.”
Astelle replied calmly.
“You don’t want to be humiliated by being accused by your daughter after you lost your position as prime minister and was overthrown, right? I don’t think there is any noble family for taking my father’s side right now.”
At that moment, the duke’s well-groomed face was distorted with anger.
Losing power must have been his greatest weakness.
The enraged duke glared at Astelle who insulted him.
A hateful voice leaked from his mouth, “How dare you! Just an empress who was expelled after one night……!”
As Astelle was about to respond to her father’s insults, someone opened the door and came in.
He was Astelle’s maternal grandfather, the Marquis of Carlenberg.
“Grandpa.”
The duke smiled mischievously and said, “Gee, long time no see.”
Then the marquis looked at the duke with contempt and replied, “Did you not learn manners at that age?”
“I don’t understand. A person who has had someone else’s daughter for six years and hasn’t contacted her father is speaking of manners.”
The duke responded without losing. After hearing those words, the marquis asked, as if he was stunned.
“Why do I have to tell you that I have Astelle with me? You cut off the relationship and drove her out of the mansion.”
Hearing the marquis’ sarcasm, the Duke of Reston flashed his eyes and approached him.
“Now that I think about it, you need Astelle more than me, her father. Even though I lost my position as prime minister, it can not be compared to a man who had few days left to live and even lost his land and grandson.”
The duke mocked the marquis with a hateful smile.
