Chapter 1187
Back at the Quinton family’s residence, Malcolm Summoned the members of the fourth branch and unleashed
his fury upon them.
“Malcolm, we were only following Her Majesty's wishes,” Vera said, looking aggrieved. “I had planned to propose
the third son of the Marquis of Glandale for Jocelyn’s marriage, but Her Majesty insisted that we needed military
support
She revealed the situation where Kylie had nearly arranged the marriage between Jocelyn and Thomas but had
been stopped by Victoria.
Her voice grew sharper, adding, “The Farrell family is too proud, don’t you think? Do they think a Quinton family
daughter isn’t worthy of their son? They're looking down on us!”
“Why should the Farrell family think highly of the Quinton family?” Malcolm retorted sharply. “Have we ever
considered the Farrell family’s Stature in the slight?”
Malcolm realized that somehow, his family had begun to expect respect and deference from everyone, as though
they were untouchable.
The fear began to settle in.
Without realizing it, the Quinton family had becpowerful in everyone's eyes, and the people in the Quinton
family thought the same. Why did they think this? Naturally, it was because others had been supporting them.
Vera fell silent for a moment, her thoughts clearly swirling before she said, “But we are the Quinton family.”
Shaken by this realization, Malcolm called a meeting with the entire family. He addressed them sternly,
instructing them to be mindful of their actions and speech.
“We must avoid arrogance and presumptuousness,” he commanded. “Be humble, be discreet, and never
associate with those who might bring scandal upon us. We cannot afford the appearance of forming factions
within the family or making private alliances for personal gain.
As for Malcolm's affair, it was only discussed among the women in the family. The men talked about how it
shouldn't have happened, but in their hearts, they understood. Yes, men always tended to understand when
other men made such mistakes because they didn’t consider it a mistake in the first place.

Malcolm felt especially uneasy. Before Connor showed any signs of being clumsy or arrogant, he thought there
was no need to plan anything for him. Connor was the future king, and that position would always be his.
But Connor's mediocrity gradually becmore apparent. It turned out that not only was he

mediocre, but his character and morals were lacking as well. Salvador clearly knew this, so any attempts to
schfor Connor's benefit at this point would only make the king suspicious.
Fortunately, the prince was still young and could be properly guided. For now, the best course. of action was to
keep a low profile, bide their time, and focus on educating himn.
That, Malcolm believed, was the wisest path forward.
However, when word of the situation reached Kylle, she was displeased. She believed Malcolm had grown too
cautious. Now was the tto forge more connections, especially with military figures. The best move, in her
eyes, was to build stronger ties with the Minister of Defense, Davis.
She sent a message to her father, urging him to consider Connor's future more seriously.
Malcolm replied, calmly explaining that the prince's mediocrity was evident. His education was the only matter
of importance at this stage-nothing else should be done that might risk displeasing Salvador.
Kylie was well aware of her son's limitations. In fact, it was because she knew that she felt a sense of urgency.
Connor lacked the qualities to secure his position through intellect or military prowess. He would only hold onto
his place through the support of the older generation of officials.
Kylie could feel the urgency of the situation. Why didn’t Malcolm feel the same? How could the Quinton family
not feel it?
If Connor was not appointed as the crown prince, she feared that the Quinton family would fall. from favor.
Kylie thought her father was short-sighted, only seeing the current power of the Quinton family and not
considering what would happen later.

Kylie’s eyes narrowed in displeasure. “Lady Sylvia grows more brazen with each passing day. She dares to spread
rumors about my own family? It was Jocelyn who left the academy on her own. For them to say she was expelled
is pure fabrication.”
Lydia hesitated before replying, “It doesn’t matter what people say in the palace. What concernsis that the
