Chapter 284

Hans was a little surprised and turned to look at her.

‘Why would she mention this incident all of a sudden?’ Rowena exchanged gaze with Hans in order to not let him

notice anything odd. “I know that M s. Vanderbilt might lose to her opponent in a bare-handed fight, but isn’t the

match a test of strength?”

Hans felt that it made some sense when she said that.

Titus stroked his beard and nodded.

Mr. Goldmann Sr. frowned. “How can a ring be considered a weapon?” Rowena explained cautiously, “The ring that

Ms. Vanderbilt wore on her finger isn’t an ordinary ring. It resembles something that’s used for self-defense. It

seems to have something sharp hidden in it, and it cuts.” Mr. Goldmann Sr.’s brows creased as if he was thinking

about something.

Hans was slightly surprised. “So that ring can not only be used for self-defense but also can be used to hurt

others?”

‘No wonder Logan said that Maisie hurt her with a ring. Does that mean that Maisie really cheated?”

Rowena smiled bitterly. “Yes, but Nolan was there the other day, so it was not very appropriate for me to expose

her when he was around.” “What? The brat went there too?” Titus was not gleeful anymore. ‘That brat actually

went to training camp. Is he taking my words seriously?’

Rowena tried to calm him down immediately. “Grandpa, don’t be angry. Nolan is only worried about her. Besides,

Ms. Vanderbilt really has the ability. She’s able to protect herself when she’s out there. Nolan won’t have to worry

too much about her in the future.”

She smiled again after saying that. “Although Ms. Vanderbilt might have gone against the rules by winning the

match through disagreeable means, it’s understandable. However, in order to quell everyone’s complaints about

this extremely unequal match, I think Ms. Vanderbilt would accept a deduction of 10 points from the 30 points that

she attained, right?” It might seem that she was speaking for Maisie on the surface, but in fact, she only wanted to

make Titus feel even more disappointed in Maisie.



‘She passed the assessment by disgraceful means. Others might not be able to see how filthy it is, but I can!

Titus picked up the teacup and took a sip from it. But just as he was about to say something, a tall and well-built

figure walked into the pavilion.

It seemed that the man had heard what Rowena said just now, and his expression turned gloomy. “Winning the

match through less righteous means can be considered as outsmarting



the opponent. Why should we deduct points for that?” Rowena’s heart trembled. She faintly realized that Nolan

seemed to have seen through all her movements these days.

‘Not only did he personally go to the training camp to witness the assessment, but he also knew that I would report

the result to Grandpa at the family estate with Hans?’

She bit her lip lightly and slowed down her speech. “Nolan, the newcomers in the training camp are all complaining

about Ms. Vanderbilt’s way of winning. All of them think that it’s unfair to the opponent—” “Heh.” Nolan glanced at

her and asked in an indifferent tone, “Are the fists the only thing that one can rely on to win a fight?”

Rowena pursed her lips and said nothing. Titus put down the teacup and raised his eyes. “Rowena is doing so only to

uphold the rules of the training camp. What’s wrong with that? Can’t we deduct points if someone has broken the

rules?”

“Grandfather, have you gone into your dotage? Is there any rule in the training camp that says that members that

are fighting in the ring mustn’t wear any jewelry?

“Even though the ring Zee wore is a weapon used for self-defense, she only used it when her opponent dislocated

her hand. So this shouldn’t be considered a violation, am I right?” Titus was taken aback for a split second and

became silent. Nolan then continued indifferently. “A fight doesn’t necessarily have to be won by fists. Sometimes, it

can be done through less decent means. Doing anything in our capability in order to secure a victory, isn’t that

what my great-grandfather did back then?” ‘Does everyone think that my great-grandfather was able to establish

such a terrifying reputation in Stoslo back then just because he was all mighty and powerful?’
