The sounds of people's discussions reached the ears of the Westman family head, his face an ashen grey. The comments were all derogatory and mocking. He thought about how his family had stood tall in the city for a hundred years, never imagining they'd be humiliated like this.
His heart was filled with indescribable sadness. Each word was like a dagger to his heart, harsh yet true. He indeed was not a match for his opponent, his family's face now lost. The head of the Westman family swore he would not let the public continue to doubt him. He had to restore his credibility and ensure his family was not looked down upon or criticized by outsiders.
