CHAPTER 285: CHAPTER 285: JUST A CHILD

Yes, you can’t argue with children!

Seraphina Sinclair smiled slightly, glanced at Luna White, her voice carrying a hint of mockery: "Luna should have come of age recently, right? At 18, she is already legally responsible. If you still treat her as a child, when she kills someone outside, will the police be lenient because she’s a child?"

"Seraphina, that’s not the concept at all..." Nina Kerr tugged at the corner of her mouth, somewhat awkward.

"Luna has no manners, dares to speak rudely to elders at home, and dares to shout and kill at outsiders once out. If not properly taught, it’s not just the face of The White Family that will be lost!" Seraphina Sinclair didn’t give Nina Kerr any face, insisting on educating Luna White today.

Nina was just about to speak, but Luna White jumped out furiously to refute: "Who do you think you are? An outsider trying to educate me—what does it matter to you if I disgrace The White Family? Stop disgusting me here."

"Old Master, you see, it’s not me trying to argue with her." Seraphina Sinclair said, looking towards Old Master White, only to see him sigh and turn away, not wanting to deal with Luna White.

Luna was stunned for a moment, aggrieved, calling out: "Great-grandfather! Why won’t you speak up for me? Obviously, it’s Seraphina Sinclair being cheap, a woman nobody wants, yet dares to come to our White Family and show off—how dare she?"

"Since you keep mentioning your White Family, it seems only your identity as part of The White Family is worth your pride." Seraphina Sinclair frowned slightly, her expression indifferent, "With my status as Jude Sinclair’s heir, after I’ve stripped you from The White Family, I hope you can maintain that courage..."

Stripped from The White Family??

Mr. White panicked immediately, quickly standing up to speak kindly, "Seraphina, we have known each other after all. Yes, Luna lacks discipline, but isn’t stripping her from The White Family too severe?"

"I wasn’t referring to Luna, but to your whole family." Seraphina Sinclair said with a smiling look at the three of them, her slightly narrowed eyes revealing some indifference.

A family! What a joke?

Luna sneered twice, not taking Seraphina Sinclair seriously at all: "Who do you think you are? On what grounds can you strip us of our name, great-grandfather isn’t..."

"Since Seraphina has said so, you all should move out tomorrow." Old Master White suddenly spoke.

These words sounded like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, leaving Luna’s family of three stunned for a long time.

Mr. White was completely dumbfounded, moving forward to seek Old Master’s forgiveness: "Grandfather, I know I haven’t disciplined the children well. Please show mercy, and give us a chance to reform. I will certainly educate these two good-for-nothings!"

Old Master White’s face was cold, exuding the imposing presence of an authoritative figure, his mere glance at Mr. White chilled him to the bone: "The one you should apologize to is not me."

Mr. White immediately understood, his tall figure kneeling before Seraphina Sinclair, tearfully begging: "Seraphina, it’s us who have offended you. Please, for the sake of Old Master, spare us this time!"

A man nearing forty can kneel before Seraphina Sinclair to beg forgiveness—what great courage this takes, but Mr. White did it.

But all this was not Seraphina Sinclair’s fault; he could only blame himself for having two fools.

Luna and Reina White hadn’t yet grasped the situation, especially Reina, who walked straight over and pulled Mr. White up, glaring viciously at Seraphina Sinclair and spewing venom: "Dad, why are you kneeling to this woman, what right does she have to strip us from The White Family, what are you afraid of her for?"

Luna quickly echoed: "Yeah, Dad, why should we fear someone like Seraphina Sinclair, what is she?"

Clearly, neither of these siblings had listened to what Old Master White said just now.

And they’d completely forgotten the rules of The White Family.

Seraphina Sinclair stood smiling ironically in front of the three, kindly reminding them: "If you remember the rules of The White Family, you should understand the consequences of disrespecting elders. You keep saying I don’t qualify, but my son is the heir of Diamond Island, and at best, you’re subordinates to Jude, at worst, not even servants. Disrespectful dogs, what use are you?"

The rules of The White Family are strict, because none have blood relations with Old Master White, so there is no favoritism. But those who forget their identity and dare to break family rules face banishment—already the lightest punishment.

Though heavy, Seraphina Sinclair’s words weren’t wrong.

The White Family has always been hierarchical, respect for elders is paramount.

Even the three brothers of The White Family are only a few years younger than Seraphina Sinclair and still properly call her "godmother."

Luna and Reina, these siblings, have been spoiled rotten. It’s bad enough they have no manners before elders, but now they dare to speak rudely to them—a serious taboo in The White Family.

Nina Kerr wanted to speak for Luna and Reina, but Seraphina Sinclair looked at her coolly: "What? The most noble princess of The White Family also wants to defy the family rules?"

Nina Kerr is smarter than Luna and Reina White; she naturally understands the rules are above all, Old Master White is clearly unwilling to deal with this matter, speaking for Luna means opposing the family rules.

Previously she caused quite a bit of scandal, to which Old Master White had strong opinions. She chuckled twice and stopped speaking.

Luna knew Nina Kerr didn’t get along with Seraphina Sinclair, yet she dared not oppose Seraphina this time, which scared Luna, who had always felt uninhibited.

Does Seraphina Sinclair really have the authority to strip their family from The White Family?

Realizing no one was speaking, seemingly not wanting to intervene in this, Luna nervously looked at Joel White: "Brother, say something, on what grounds does she strip us from The White Family, she..."

But Joel White didn’t want to look at her, instead turning his face to talk to Fiona Dunn.

Fiona Dunn’s eyes flickered, showing excitement at the unfolding drama, tightly holding Joel’s hand, as if ready to explode the moment he spoke.

Camille White was never interested in these matters, and given her average relationship with Luna and Reina White, naturally she wouldn’t speak for them.

The dining room fell into dead silence, Luna was genuinely afraid this time, looking terrified at Seraphina Sinclair, her voice trembling: "You, you really want to strip us from The White Family?"

"Seeing you so lively usually, isn’t this what you wanted?" Seraphina Sinclair spoke the most heartless words with a blank face, "I’m fulfilling your wish, why don’t you seem very happy?"

"Seraphina Sinclair, don’t be too excessive, we clearly came to The White Family before you. I’ve lived here since birth; on what grounds do you have to make me leave." Luna felt fear in her heart, but she knew clearly if truly expelled, she’d never again enjoy the riches and glory The White Family provides.

Having lived a life of luxury from a young age, she can no longer live without The White Family’s shelter.
