Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 500 Trust (1)_1

"Investigate how a fire could start!" Eldest Young Master Ye bellowed, his voice making the ground tremble. His hard work was all ruined, completely ruined! Anyway, it wasn’t Shangguan You who set the fire, so it had nothing to do with her. Even if Eldest Young Master Ye decided to cause trouble, with Third Young Master Ye present, he still had to show him some deference.

"Eldest Young Master, the fire started inexplicably, beginning on the ground floor. This subordinate truly doesn’t know what happened."

"Useless!" Eldest Young Master Ye bellowed again, a powerful surge of Spiritual Energy rushing toward the speaker. CRASH. The man’s body was swept away and slammed heavily to the ground, instantly lifeless. Eldest Young Master Ye’s fury was sky-high; the force he’d used was a full fifty percent of his strength, and naturally, no one could withstand it. Everyone present, except for Second Young Master Ye and Third Young Master Ye, knelt. A closer look would reveal their bodies were still trembling.

"Useless!" Eldest Young Master Ye roared once more, his Spiritual Energy again sweeping over the kneeling people. Countless individuals spat out blood in unison.

"Big Brother," Third Young Master Ye said, his eyes narrowing slightly as he spoke coolly. If I don’t intervene, Eldest Young Master Ye will beat everyone here to death.

But even if he killed these people, the gu are still destroyed. Why continue to vent his anger on them? Besides, only a portion was destroyed, not everything. Big Brother doesn’t need to be this angry.

"Young Master, this subordinate acknowledges his fault," one of the men said.

Eldest Young Master Ye took a few deep breaths, struggling to calm his surging anger. Just as his temper began to subside, his gaze fell upon the person in Third Young Master Ye’s arms, and his fury instantly reignited.

"Big Brother, it’s just a house that burned down. It’s nothing worth getting this angry about. As long as everyone is unharmed, it’s fine," Second Young Master Ye said nonchalantly, glancing at the men who had been sent flying and were spitting blood. This misplaced anger is completely unnecessary. Even if these gu were destroyed, doesn’t the main Ye Family still have more?

"I know," Eldest Young Master Ye bit out, his anger simmering. Damn it! If I find out who set this fire, I’ll make them die a horrible death! The gu I brought were crucial, and now they’re all destroyed—all my hard work... As he thought about it, Eldest Young Master Ye’s anger surged anew. These gu... I originally planned to use them to better control the members of the Four Great Families, to make them more obedient. And now they’re all destroyed before I even made a move! The opportunity was perfect, but now it’s all ruined! Damn it, who dares to ruin my plans?!

Eldest Young Master Ye’s piercing gaze swept over everyone present. Wherever his eyes passed, people felt a chill run down their spines, the air growing frigid. Finally, his gaze settled, full of hatred, on Shangguan You.

"Eldest Young Master, the Fire Spirit Pearl can start fires, can’t it?" Ye An Ya’s clear voice chimed in, her gaze sweeping over Shangguan You, who was nestled in Third Young Master Ye’s arms. Of everyone here, apart from the three Young Masters, Shangguan You appears the most at ease. Plus, she has the Fire Spirit Pearl. She’s the most likely one to have started the fire; otherwise, the villa wouldn’t have just burst into flames for no reason.

Besides, even if Shangguan You didn’t cause this, I, Ye An Ya, can ensure she dies a terrible death! The Young Master is mine, and anyone who tries to take him from me won’t live to see another day!

At Ye An Ya’s words, Eldest Young Master Ye’s gaze fixed on Shangguan You like a viper, pondering the credibility of her accusation.

"Big Brother, I’ve been with this girl the entire time. She hasn’t left my side," Third Young Master Ye stated, his icy gaze sweeping over Ye An Ya before he spoke coldly. Ye An Ya shivered under his stare, instinctively recoiling.

"Young Master, have you truly forgotten what I said? This woman is not worthy of you! You shouldn’t pamper her like this!" Eldest Young Master Ye suppressed the fury surging within him, forcing himself to remain calm. But watching Third Young Master Ye gaze so dotingly at Shangguan You in his arms, even tightening his hold, Eldest Young Master Ye could no longer contain his anger. A flash of murderous intent flickered in his eyes.

"Big Brother, this is my own affair. I like her, and I will protect the woman I love. Furthermore, I will not allow anyone to harm her," Third Young Master Ye declared, his deep eyes meeting Eldest Young Master Ye’s, each word spoken with unwavering conviction.

Shangguan You’s lips curved up slightly as she nestled in Third Young Master Ye’s arms. He really does have a manly air about him. Hearing his words, her heart began to pound wildly.

Her cheeks slowly warmed. Third Young Master Ye really knows how to cherish me.

As if sensing the movement of the person in his embrace, Third Young Master Ye hugged her even tighter. If I can’t even protect my own woman, what’s the point of me living? How could I possibly be fit to hold the position of Young Master, a position no one can challenge?

"Young Master, I’ve said it before: the Ye Family’s matriarch can only be someone from the Ye Family. You can play around with this woman, but she cannot be brought back to the Ye Family, nor does she even have the right to wear the Blood Jade Bracelet," Eldest Young Master Ye said, suppressing his rage and speaking slowly, persuasively. He continually reminded himself: Don’t get angry. Don’t get angry. I can’t kill this woman in front of the Young Master. Even if she must be killed, it has to be planned meticulously.

"Big Brother, she is the woman I’ve chosen. Whether I’m in the Ye Family or not makes no difference," Third Young Master Ye stated calmly. His words further incensed Eldest Young Master Ye, nearly making him spit blood. Third Young Master Ye’s meaning was clear: he was willing to relinquish his claim to the position of Family Head to his eldest brother, so the Ye Family’s rules no longer bound him.

"What’s so good about this chit, who isn’t even fully developed? Look at Ye An Ya by your side, look at the other women! Which of them isn’t better or prettier than her? Young Master, you can play around, but don’t get serious!"

"Big Brother, no matter how beautiful or accomplished other women may be, they mean nothing to me. In my heart, there is only my girl. She’s still young now, and I’m willing to wait for her. Besides, my girl won’t think I’m old, right?" Third Young Master Ye said gently. The wind whistled around them, and as Shangguan You listened to his words, a gentle warmth spread through her heart.

"Third Brother, have you also forgotten the Ye Family rules?" Eldest Young Master Ye roared. Now, regardless of whether Shangguan You started the fire or not, just based on Third Young Master Ye’s devotion and love for her, the Ye Family cannot accept Shangguan You, and certainly not the Shangguan Family!
