The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 545

Fiona rolled her eyes at Selena and turned t o face Fane. Her expression indicated that she was truly exasperated. "Fane, there's one thing I have to say now. I didn't mention it earlier because I wanted to protect your image in front of the crowd. Now there's only one thing I want to get off my chest!" She burst.

Fane's brows furrowed for a moment before his gentle smile reappeared on his face. He said calmly, "Mother, I think I know what you want to say!”

"Oh, you do? Tell me why am I so angry, then!"

Fiona crossed her arms in front of her chest.

'Heh. Are you thinking about the episode earlier? When the Goddess of War told me t o teach Michael a lesson, you think the punishment was too heavy, don't you?

You're afraid that Michael will hold this grudge against me and that the Wilson family will cause trouble for us in the future?"

Fane chortled and continued, "Don't worry about that. Even if they aren't afraid of my relationship with the Goddess of War, I, Fane Woods, am not afraid of them!"

"Aww, Ma, I didn’t expect you to worry that the Clark family would do something to Fane!"

A flash of warmth filled her. This was her first time seeing her own mother worry about Fane's safety.

The corners of Fiona’s mouth twitched slightly. She blurted, "Bullsh*t! I'm not talking about this. I’m angry you didn’t tell me earlier about the luminous pearl the Goddess of War gave you!"

Fane was speechless. He initially thought Fiona was worried about his safety, afraid that the Clarks would take revenge on him. It seemed like it was just his imagination.

Andrew, who stood beside Fiona, was upset with the conversation. "In my opinion, Fane's gift was very appropriate. The pearl should be given to my father. He is old now and he needs this kind of thing!” he fumed.

"Th—that’s five hundred million! Shouldn't he at least discuss with us? We could’ve voted on a decision!"

Fiona was still upset. She stared at Fane, fire burning in her eyes. "He kept quiet about the gift and made us worried the whole time! I was still worried about whether he had prepared a decent gift for Grandpa. Fane didn’t even treat us as his own!” she huffed.

"Ma, you've gone too far. Fane has never treated us as outsiders. I think you just want the pearl. If Fane had brought it out to the table, would you have let him give it away as the birthday gift?"

Selena reprimanded her without hesitation. She then continued, "The pearl isn't going to follow Grandpa Taylor to his grave, and you're not even fifty years old! When Grandpa passes, we'll give the pearl t o you. Isn't that good enough?"
