Chapter 44: Method

What kind of person was Audrey?

To put it nicely, she was mediocre. To put it bluntly, she was trash.

A woman with no merit was not qualified to marry his son.

He had always had high expectations for Kate. Naturally, he hoped that he could marry a truly favored daughter of the heavens, a wife who could help him and be of great use to him.

More than ten years ago, how did Calder, who was not ranked in the family, become the patriarch?

It was because he had an amazing wife!

Without Audrey’s mother, Della, Calder would not even have the qualifications to enter the Elder Council, let alone become the patriarch of the family.

Ferri hoped that his son would be able to marry such a woman. From then on, he would rise to the top.

That was why he hated and rejected Audrey. He did not even want to see her and his son, Kate, appearing in the same place.

As for sending Audrey to the Fairlie family for a marriage alliance, he agreed and strongly supported it.

“Kate, Audrey really isn’t worthy of you. She’s just a piece of trash. Is it really worth it for you to do this?”

Ferri looked at his son with deep helplessness in his eyes.

Kate had always been self-reliant since he was young. In his impression, he had never begged him for anything. Even when he encountered difficulties, he would always find a way to solve them himself.

And this time, not only did he beg him, he even knelt to beg him. Naturally, this was really difficult for a father to witness.

“It’s worth it, father. Please help me.”

Kate lowered his head, his tone full of pleading.

He did not know if Audrey liked him. After so many years, Audrey’s heart was walled up. She was like a startled bird, living very carefully and cautiously.

Perhaps because of the environment, she had an instinctive vigilance against anyone. She had to be careful every day whether or not others would hurt her, so it was very difficult for others to know what’s in her heart truly.

However, it did not matter whether Audrey liked him or not.

He only needed to know that Audrey was not willing to marry into the Fairlie family. That was enough.

“Kate, I really want to help you, but this matter isn’t something I can change unless…” Ferri said helplessly.

“Unless what…” Kate suddenly raised her head, a glimmer of hope rising in his eyes.

“Unless Audrey can amaze everyone in the five families’ grand competition and enter the top 50. That way, she won’t have to marry into the Fairlie family.”

Ferri said slowly.

Calder and Audrey had completely fallen out with the family. The current situation could not be changed with just the support of one or two elders.

The only way to change was to follow ancient rules, such as the ancestral teachings.

The family’s ancestral teachings were higher than the parliament’s.

And one of the ancestral teachings was that the talented women in the family could only marry people in their family and not marry outsiders.

The purpose of these ancestral teachings was to keep the outstanding bloodline in the family to prosper for a long time.

As long as Audrey could prove herself and enter the top 50 of the five families’ grand competition.

Then, even the parliament did not have the right to ask her to marry the Fairlie family.

Hearing that, the light in Kate’s eyes instantly dimmed.

How could Audrey enter the top 50 of the five clans grand competition? That was simply impossible.

According to past references, the fighter needed to be at least level 8 to come close to the 50th rank. This was the lowest standard.

If there she was not level 8, then it was impossible to enter the top 50.
