Things returned to normal after the banquet ended, and we saw Anson off. I finally had a chance to talk with Trinity alone.

I was not prepared whatsoever. It madeso nervous, and Mr. Anson's... " "What's his name?" Trinity reminded me.
I stuck out my tongue. "I mean, Anson. I'm still not used to it! His commands are a bit intimidating. What did I do to deserve this?" "It's not like they're asking you to take over the Huffman family. There's nothing you can't handle. In terms of capability, you certainly have it. Don't underestimate the Huffman family. Not just anyone can be associated with them." Trinity looked atwith a cool expression, clearly proud of the family.
"How could I underestimate them?" I paused, then said, "The Huffman family's reputation is definitely significant, and I never thought that one day I would be connected to them!" "Do you feel they're incompatible with you? Do you think the Huffman family doesn't follow the usual path?" Trinity and I always had this straightforward conversation style that I enjoyed. There was no hiding anything.
I smiled openly and countered, "Don't they?" Trinity didn't answer my question. "This jade is the Huffman family's heirloom. In case... I mean, just in case, if you encounter any troubles, you can turn your bad luck into good luck as long as you take out this jade." Her words shocked me. I played with the jade. Although I didn't understand the Huffman family's rules, I knew the extent of their influence.

"But my father has always cherished my mother. She passed away many years ago but he refused to find another treatinglike a treasure. When my father cto seeafter survived, he was outraged. He blamedfor risking my life." As she spoke, there was a meaningful smile on her face.
"Then what happened?" I felt a bit embarrassed. "This is my fault." "I explained the reason. My father is a broad-minded person. He had someone split this jade in two. It shows his approval of you!" Trinity said with a smile, "Actually, my father wantedto have a real friend, and this person must pass all aspects, be straightforward, and have no flaws. You passed!" "I didn't expect there to be so many intricacies?" I felt even more uneasy.
"What did you think? The Huffman family doesn't easily trust others." I knew that the Huffman family elwouldn't easily let an outsider in. However, was still worried. The Huffman family was involved in matters that ordinary people couldn't touch. Also, as far ast knew, Jared had always kept a distance from them. I had entered the Huffman family circle, makinga bit uneasy.
