Chapter 5005
Naturally, Elodie Jean was perfectly calm at this moment.
She knew there was no point in making things harder for Harvey York. Mandy Zimmer could even break off from
Harvey, making him suffer alone.
Mandy, on the other hand, would turn into a mere spectator.
Elodie could not accept that.
That was why she planned to drag Mandy down first.
Reuben Jean raised his head before glancing at Mandy with a faint smile.
"Mandy's the head of the ninth branch, Elodie. You can't just scold her like that.
"Even if she's an ungrateful person who doesn't respect her elders, she does have the right and power to do so.
"After all, no matter how weak the ninth branch is, the head's status is still immense."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtReuben pretended to speak for Mandy, but his gloomy tone clearly meant he only wished to crush Mandy's spirits.
Even Lilian Yates, who would always run her mouth whenever she was angry, would not dare say a single word at
that moment.
Simon Zimmer looked the other way, as if nothing ever happened.
Mandy stepped forward, preventing Harvey from saying anything.
"I'm sorry, Elder Reuben. There were a lot of stoplights to get through before getting here.
"It's my fault I couldn't welcome you as soon as you landed!
"How about this? I'll send you to the best restaurant as a form of welcome!"
Elodie coldly chuckled.
"You're ridiculous, Mandy!
"You know that Elder Reuben's a frugal man, and this is what you're offering him?!
"Are you trying to harm him?!
"Or don't you even know about his lifestyle in the first place?!
"You don't care at all, do you?!
"You don't respect Elder Reuben, let alone the ninth branch!
Elodie pointed at Mandy when she loudly berated her.
"Good point! Everyone knows that Elder Reuben only eats local vegetarian meals!"
"It'd be best if we could arrange his meal in a shrine or something!"
"The head's either ill-informed, or she's just plain forgetful!"
"Sigh! Does she not know she has close to no power despite her status? What right does she have to show off in
front of Elder Reuben?"
A lot of higher-ups were openly criticizing Mandy.
After all, they knew exactly which side to stand on during such an occasion.
"Enough, Elodie!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore Mandy could even speak, the young and vigorous Xynthia Zimmer could not help but stand out.
"My sister was only informed of Elder Reuben's arrival an hour ago!
"She's already doing her best to come all the way here on such short notice!
"Besides, Elder Reuben showed up at such a convenient time!
"The moment you get locked up, he rushed all the way here!
"Are you telling me this is all a coincidence?!
"Maybe he's been here all along, but he's only waiting for a chance to support you!"
Naturally, Xynthia did not hold back against Elodie.
Elodie's face instantly turned dark.
Lilian Yates quickly dragged Xynthia back.
"Stop spouting nonsense!
"This was our fault in the first place!
"It's our honor for Elder Reuben to come to Golden Sands!
Then, Lilian remembered something.
"Come, Mandy! Bring over your gift! Let's surprise Elder Reuben!"
Mandy's expression changed. She did not have the time to prepare for a gift at all.
