Chapter 1691


    Mick took David to the VIP area of the Treasure Trove headquarters.


    Since Alba said that David was her honored guest, Mick naturally would not neglect him.


    However, after parting with David, he immediately reported what he saw and his analysis to the seniors


    of the Fellowes family.


    At this time, Alba arrived outside the study of the seventh master of the Fellowes family, Valerio. This


    was also where he usually worked.


    Knock knock!


    Alba knocked on the door.


    “Come in!” An old voice came from the study.


    Alba pushed open the door and walked in.


    The study wasrge and simple, and the bookshelves were full of all kinds of books.


    At a nce, there were at least tens of thousands of books.


    An old man with a ruddyplexion that was glowing with health sat in the study, looking down at the


    documents on the table.


    “Grandpa Val, Alba hase to greet you.” Alba greeted respectfully.


    Upon hearing Alba’s voice, Valerio raised his head and said with a smile, “Alba, you are here. Please


    sit down!”


    Alba did not act courteously around Valerio. She found a ce to sit down and then asked, May I know


    why you’re looking for me?”


    “Alba, you’ve been out ying for so long. Did you have enough fun?”


    “Grandpa Val, I didn’t go there to y, but to help,” Alba replied dissatisfied.


    “No matter what you go out for, it’s been long enough. You should concentrate on your task now that


    you’re back. Don’t go out, stay at home!”


    “No! Grandpa Val, I still have things to do! You’ll bore me to death if you lock me at home, Alba refused


    in an instant.


    She had notpleted her deal with David.


    Since she had already promised David, she had to help him build the tradingpany.


    That way, she could change her fate and help her family get out of their current predicament.


    If she had to stay home, she could not do anything.


    Alba could not ept such an arrangement.


    “What do you have going on? You’re only researching those stupid items. Plus, the seniors agreed to


    have you stay home. You can only obey and not disobey.”


    “Why? Grandpa Val, why are you restricting my freedom? Is it because I’m a woman and I can’t carry


    on the ancestral line? Is that why you don’t like me? Ever since I was young, no matter how hard I work


    or how hard I prove myself, you never valued me. I don’t mind all those things, it’s my fault for being a


    woman. However, you don’t even let me leave the house and want to lock me inside now. What’s the


    point of me living then?”


    Alba questioned loudly.


    This was the first time she spoke so loudly to an elder of the family.


    She respected Grandpa Val a lot.


    However, she was frustrated, causing her to act on impulse.


    If she was grounded, she would not be able to help David build his tradingpany.


    Then, her life would be over.


    Not only would she not be able to change her fate, but her family would also be gradually swallowed by


    the Palmore family.


    It had been so many years and she finally met David, a disciple of a Sacred Saint.


    Plus, he was also a Sacred Saint hiding in Star Kingdom.


    God was giving the Fellowes family a chance to leave the Palmore family.


    In the end, the Fellowes family wanted to destroy her.


    Alba wanted to tell her Grandpa Val the truth now.


    However, she did not dare to since she did not get David’s consent.

    Alba’s sudden loud questioning shocked Valerio.


    He did not expect this obedient little girl to yell at him now.


    However, Valerio was not mad.


    Alba was one of the youngsters in the family he favored.


    Ever since she was young, she showed outstanding talent among the younger generation of the family,


    and she was also very smart.
