Location- Central Region, Capital city, Duskborn Mansion

"I was surprised to hear when my servant said that you were waiting to meet me," A wrinkly old man with a viking beard surrounded by a baleful aura said looking at the slender waist nymph with an annoyed expression and displaying not the least bit fear for an intimidating man such as himself.

"Fifth Elder, please, let us not bother with small talks. I am here with a proposal that will benefit you, if you are not interested I will not waste your precious time and leave right away," Ellen's mother did not like the gaze of the old man. She felt like the deer being eyed by a jackal. She thought being a part of the Duskborn family for a decade now she could hold a little standing in this old geezer's eyes but she was wrong, this purist motherf.u.c.ker still saw her as a pest similar to the first day she stepped foot in this mansion.

"If it's a proposal that you have brought then it must be worth my time," knowing what Ellen's mother was capable of Fifth Elder did not make the mistake of underestimating her.

"Fifth elder, thank you for your trust in me," Ellen's mother sighed as the first obstacle of her plan had been completed.

"No, no, you are worth my trust. If not for you I would have killed that rascal nephew of mine when he dared to bring you home and missed out on such a great slave," Fifth Elder did not bother to filter his words because he knew there was nothing his nephew or his wife could do about it.

"And this junior thanks you for the grace you have shown us that day," Hearing the Fifth Elder call her husband a slave to her face Ellen's mother could only thank him for the mercy he had shown to their family.

"Enough with that, tell me what is that you have come to offer me this time," Fifth Elder liked a good bargain, especially one where he held an absolute advantage.

"Fifth Elder, I know even with my husband leading the operation, your firm is struggling in the market but I have a solution for it," Ellen's mother went to explain her proposal to the thee Fifth elder.

"So you think that is possible?" the Fifth elder's expression was grim, what his nephew's wife was offering him was too good to be true, that's how much it would benefit him if everything were to go in accordance with what his nephew's wife had planned.

"Yes, with your blessing, I can make it possible," Ellen's mother replied with great confidence.

"What about my nephew? Does he know what you are planning?" The fifth elder asked despite knowing that his nephew would never agree to something like this and his wife would not be here if she had informed him of her plans.

"No, he doesn't know a thing and doesn't need to know until the time is ripe to reap what we sow," Ellen's mother did not bother to hide the fact that she was doing this behind her husband's back. Because it would be unbelievable otherwise as her husband's stubborn loyalty was known to the entire capital.

"Now, that's a problem. What makes you think that he will be able to pull the trigger when the time is right, after all, in the end, everything we invested rests on his decision," Fifth Elder had to control his laughter as he spoke these words out loud.

"Fifth Elder, you and I both know, when the time comes, he will choose the family over anything. Aren't I and my daughter the living and walking example," Ellen's mother's expression did not fluctuate as she spoke these words. It was heartbreaking to know that the man she trusted her daughter and her life with would not hesitate to sacrifice them for his family's interest.

"I almost broke into laughter as I spoke those words," Fifth Elder said and then added, " Even though my brother was a waste, he did manage to do one thing right, and that is his son."

"..." Fifth Elder's unscrupulous words did not seem to daunt Ellen's mother's indifferent exterior. It was as if the fifth elder was not talking about her husband and father-in-law but strangers. One would wonder if Ellen's mother was that heartless or had her disappointment in her husband turned her so heartless.

"You know I pity that foolish commander of my nephew, but he should have stuck to his business and not tried to eye what belonged to me, now I have left no choice but to show him what happens if one were to eye the Duskborn's property. I bet his look would be priceless when he learns how you plan to repay his grace," Fifth elder could not help but grin thinking about the potential gains from Ellen's mother's proposal.

"Fifth Elder, about my condition-" Seeing the fifth elder who was having an o.r.g.a.s.m just thinking about what he stood to gain from her plan, Ellen's mother could not help but remind him of the condition she put forward fearing that he had forgotten all about it but was interrupted by him.

"Yes-yes, I know, if you get me this, I will give you and your daughter the freedom you want," Fifth Elder grumbled when it came to paying a price.

"Fifth Elder, be work harder to get what you desire if you were to say the same in the presence of the world's will," Ellen's mother knew better than to trust the word of a greedy pig such as the Fifth elder who did not have qualms about using his nephew as a slave and keeping his daughter-in-law and niece as a.s.surance.

As Ellen's mother said that an intimidating pressure filled the hall, her weak body could not withstand the pressure and had no choice but to kneel helplessly. Then a loud voice reverted in the hall, "Are you doubting this Elder's word?"

"Yes"
