No one would have expected Ye Qingwan to publicly question Ye Lan.
You see, Ye Lan was the second most important figure in the Ye Family, highly valued by Family Head Ye Zhong.
Ye Qingwan, at best, was an illegitimate daughter of the Ye Family, with a lowly status. To think that she dared to speak to Ye Lan with such a questioning tone, was she out of her mind?
As expected, Ye Lan's expression turned completely cold, and there was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes as she squinted at Ye Qingwan and said, "Are you questioning me?"
Unafraid, Ye Qingwan met Ye Lan's gaze, her eyes bloodshot as she said, "I am merely stating a truth..."
"Presumptuous!"
Before Ye Qingwan could finish speaking, Master Chen, Ye Lan's personal bodyguard, let out an angry shout.
A powerful oppressive force burst forth from his body, enveloping Ye Qingwan directly.
At that moment, a terrifying aura of storm seemed to manifest in the vast room, causing everyone's skin to feel painfully scraped.
