Chapter 1664
Alba could not find out the answer for a while.
“Cornelius, why did you stop me?” Alba asked.
“Nothing. I just want to invite you over for a meal and a chat. Will you do me the honor, Miss Alba? I have prepared
good food and wine here,” Cornelius said.
“Sorry! I still have something to do, so I won’t accompany you!” Alba directly refused.
“Miss Alba, I came all this way just to see you, don’t you think it’s disrespectful for you to do this? How do you
expect me to show my face on the Central Sacred Continent if you do this?”
“You can show your face however you want. How is that any of my business? I don’t have time to mess around with
you. Goodbye!”
After Alba finished speaking, she commanded the merchant ship to avoid the other party and prepared to leave.
Yet, as soon as the merchant ship set off, the Lightfoot family’s ship stopped in front of them, blocking the way.
They changed direction several times in a row, but the other party still stopped them.
Alba was fuming so she asked loudly, “Cornelius, what the hell do you want?”

way immediately after eating. You can think about it slowly, I have plenty of time,” Cornelius was not in a hurry said
slowly.
Alba’s pretty face was flushed red by Cornelius’ words and her ample chest heaved violently.
She wished she could kill him with a sword.
However, she could only imagine such a thing in her mind. Alba could not do this in reality.
Aside from whether she could kill Cornelius, even if she could, she would not dare to.
On the one hand, Cornelius, as the second-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, had a high status.
Alba’s status in the Fellowes family was not comparable to his.
On the other hand, although Treasure Trove was not much different from Splendor, it did not mean that there was
not much difference between the Lightfoot family and the Fellowes family.
Many aspects were at play here.
Simply put, the Fellowes family was their backer’s affiliated family.
To put it bluntly, they would offer a large number of resources every year to seek asylum.
Even so, they would need to act according to their backer’s wishes.
Especially in recent years, the backers of the Fellowes family intended to swallow the Fellowes family.
However, the Lightfoot family was different.
The Lightfoot family already had someone who had established a firm foothold in the backing family behind them.
Once upon a time, a daughter of the Lightfoot family married into the family that was backing them.
Just like Alba right now.
After the woman from the Lightfoot family got married, she counterattacked and was now an important figure in
that big family.
The Lightfoot family’s situation also changed from that.
The Fellowes family was likely to be ruthlessly abandoned by the backers behind them but the same would not
happen to the Lightfoot family.
This was the gap between the two families.
If Alba killed Cornelius and the Lightfoot family decided to pursue it, the Fellowes family could only apologize and
obediently hand her over after paying a huge price.
Both families had Sacred Saints as their backers.
However, their situation was completely different.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Lightfoot family lived a life of comfort and security while the Fellowes family was living in dire straits.
Furthermore, their family might be destroyed at any time.
“Cornelius, I have something urgent to take care of now, how about I accompany you when I have a chance?” Alba
took a deep breath and said aggrievedly.
“No way! Who knows if you will keep your promise after you go back? I dare not go to your Fellowes family to get
you. Since I met you today, you have to have a drink with me before leaving no matter what.” Cornelius was not
moved at all.
Tears welled in Alba’s eyes.
There was nothing she could do when it came to a scoundrel like this.
Should she go have a meal with Cornelius?
That was absolutely impossible.
She could not go even if she died.
Alba was not stupid. She had a fiance nominally so if she got into Cornelius’ ship alone, she would face an
extremely miserable life no matter if something happened between them or not.
