In another place, Astrid had just arrived at Peng Manor, riding a carriage. Jack accompanied her as she entered the manor.
When she arrived, a servant led them to a meeting room, and she was greeted by a familiar face, Peng Sheng, the head of the Peng Clan and her father. He looked older than when they last met. His hair had turned greyer and he seemed to have lost weight, but he was still healthy, except for his legs that weren't functioning.
A beautiful woman sat next to him. She was Tang Yuxuan, Peng Sheng's wife and Peng Li-Yue's mother.
They looked at Astrid who sat next to them with a frown.
Peng Sheng looked like he was trying hard not to scowl, but he managed to maintain his composure despite his obvious displeasure.
"What's the meaning of this?" He demanded angrily.
Astrid didn't flinch or back away, even though she was scared. Instead, she replied with a cold voice.
