Roke Ona couldn't help saying, "If this continues, the foundation our Ona Family has built over so many years will be ruined. Anyone can see that our family is gradually being pushed to the margins. People used to visit us every day, but now? No one comes, afraid of getting involved with our family. Patriarch, why is this happening?"
Snow Mountain Ona's gaze flickered. Why? Of course he knew. Before the Regent came to power, the Ona Family's attitude toward him had changed several times. They had never openly turned against him, but they had failed to act decisively when dealing with the matter of Jennyona. Although they had made amends afterward and fully supported the Regent, some things happened and were difficult to forget.
The Ona Family still existed, and he had even entered Lu Jun Pavilion, only because the family had changed its stance in time. Otherwise, the family would already have been wiped out. But in the Regent's eyes, the Ona Family could not be trusted.
"Does this have something to do with Jenny?" Roke Ona suddenly asked.
Snow Mountain Ona shot him a sharp glance. "Jenny's matter is over. She doesn't even leave the house now. What more do you want?"
Roke Ona lowered his head and fell silent.
Before the Regent came to power, no one cared what Jennyona did. But once the Regent took power and even came to dominate the Outer Universe, dissatisfaction with Jennyona began to grow within the Ona Family. Many people whispered that if Jennyona had married the Regent back then, the Ona Family would now be the most powerful family in the Eastern Frontier Alliance, even more influential than the Great Yu Empire had once been.
These whispers grew more and more common, eventually reaching Snow Mountain Ona's ears
