My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

"Where's the item?" Brody glanced at him. His face remained cold and serious. "Don't worry. I'll bring it out right away."

Kendall led Brody to the center of the hall and poured him a glass of red wine.

"Mr. Cabello, these are Damien and Jade Yeager from the Yeager family. They're both future heirs to their family businesses," Kendall said as a way of introduction.

Damien and Jade smiled and reached out for a handshake.

But Brody just glanced at them, let out an "oh," and looked away. He could not be bothered with them.

Damien and Jade froze in front of everyone awkwardly. Their hands hung midair for a few seconds before they pulled them back.

They had not expected Brody to be so dismissive. They felt embarrassed.

But neither dared to say anything.

"He's got quite an attitude," Dustin said.

"Well, most top-tier families look down on smaller ones. Brody is just more obvious about it. He only respects people stronger than him and doesn't even acknowledge those beneath him," Adrian said.

"Bring the pot." Kendall felt embarrassed, too. Brody showed him no respect, so he had no choice but to get straight to business.

Only then did Brody's expression relax slightly.

"Mr. Cabello, we spent a fortune to win this pot at the auction. I guarantee the mark on it is identical to the one the Cabello family showed. This is definitely what you're looking for." Kendall made sure Brody knew how much effort the Dhillon family had put into this.

"I'm giving it to you today. I hope the Cabello family will keep their promise."

"We always keep our word." Brody remained serious. "If this item is important enough to the family, we will reward you generously. We'll do whatever it takes to fulfill your request."noveldrama

"Great! We trust the Cabello family's power."

Kendall took the tray from a servant. A red cloth was covering something.

He pulled back the cloth and revealed a beautifully crafted pot.

"Please take a look." Kendall presented it to Brody.

The moment Brody saw the unique mark on the pot, his expression changed slightly.

Kendall smiled. This thing was clearly valuable.

It might be even more important than he expected.

The more the Cabello family valued it, the more benefits the Dhillon family could

gain. Their rise to power was only a matter of time.

The other guests also sensed how valuable it was and envied the Dhillon family's luck.

But unlike the others, Dustin and Adrian smiled meaningfully.

Brody picked up the pot and carefully examined it from every angle.

"This pot isn't just any ordinary item. The thing the Cabello family is looking for is truly special," Kendal said to the guests with a smile. "It gives off a unique fragrance. Just having it in a room helps you sleep peacefully and improves sleep quality. I've kept it in my room and can personally vouch for how effective it is."

"That sounds amazing," the guests said and smiled.

"So, Mr. Cabello, is this the real deal?" Kendall asked confidently.

But suddenly, Brody frowned.

A moment later, his face turned cold.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Kendall asked nervously.

"You

expdare try to trick me

with a

e" Brody suddenly

in anger and threw the pot

straight at Kendall's face.

Everyone was shocked.

The change happened so fast that no one saw it coming.

Brody threw it hard. Kendall was hit straight in the face, and he bled. He collapsed onto the floor of the party hall.

“A fake? That's impossible!" Kendall's face throbbed in pain, but he did not dare complain. He just could not believe it.

"Mr. Cabello, are you sure? Maybe there's some kind of mistake?" Jade tried to defend Kendall.

"Shut up, b*tch! Are you questioning my judgment and knowledge?!" Brody snapped at her.

Jade was terrified. She did not dare say another word, and her face was pale with embarrassment.

"How... how could it be fake?!" Kendall was still in disbelief.

The auction house had a solid

f

reputation, and the Dhillon family even had experts check it. It was confirmed to be an antique. The mark on it was over 200 years old. It had to be what the Cabello family wanted.

"This doesn't make sense." Kendall was dumbfounded. Was the Dhillon family's

plan to rise to power about to collapse?
