She emphasized the last sentence with a firm tone.
If one was the head of the family, they needed to demonstrate a leader's authority.
When the old Sutton lord managed the Sutton Family, he was considerate of the deep bonds between brothers. No matter what happened, he always turned a blind eye to the actions of his three younger brothers and nephews, refusing to hold them accountable.
But she wouldn't.
Claims of blood and kinship were completely irrelevant to her.
She was determined to elevate the Sutton Family to new heights.
North Sutton, who already held no respect for this talentless and insolent girl, was utterly infuriated by her words.
Indeed, when there are no tigers on the mountain, the monkey claims kingship.
"Hannah Sutton, I will tell you not to be arrogant," North Sutton pointed at Hannah's nose, "When your dad and I were establishing this family foundation, you were nowhere to be found!"
The Sutton Family never belonged to only one person.
Hearing that, Hannah softly smirked, a tint of mockery glinting in her eyes, "Uncle, you've lost control now. Older people should avoid severe mood swings, otherwise their lifespan could be affected. At your age, you wouldn't have many years left to live anyway! If you died from anger, it'd be my fault as your niece!"
Now, Hannah had absolutely no concerns.
She could say whatever she wanted.
Moreover, after the death of the old Sutton lord, the three brothers, South, North, and West Sutton did not shy away from attempting to trip her and her mother up.
Since they disregarded familial ties, why would she consider them?!
West Sutton raised his hand, wanting to hit Hannah, but was stopped by South Sutton.
"Younger brother, don't be impulsive!"
Today was, after all, the morial day of their older brother, Easter Sutton.
If West Sutton attacked now, it would undoubtedly create a massive commotion.
Hannah publicly defied them because she was prepared to bear the consequences. And in the end, they would be the ones to lose.
"Heh..."
Hannah looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.
A mont later, she spoke dismissively.
"Cowards!"
"What did you say?" West Sutton asked angrily.
Hannah paused after each word, "I said you... are cowards."
South Sutton suppressed his rage and continued, "Senior Suen would never have given the Divine Doctor Token to soone like you!"
"So what?" Hannah responded with a smirk, fear nowhere in her eyes, "What matters is that the Divine Doctor Token is in my possession now."
With the Divine Doctor Token, she could dictate the course of the Sacred dical Hall.
Supre authority in the dical world was represented by the Sacred dical Hall.
Could South and West Sutton prove that she had not received the Divine Doctor Token from Suwen?
The words were not devoid of provocation.
Once South Sutton responded to her provocations and did sothing irregular, she would have the reason to drive these three botherso elderly n out of the Sutton Family.
She had long been displeased with the three of them.
Regretfully.
The old Sutton had such a strong sense of family, he had failed to take action.
Having said that.
She just stared at South and North Sutton.
North had turned so red with anger. "I knew it! I knew Senior Suen wouldn't hand the Sacred dical Hall over to soone like you! Was it you?! Senior Suen has gone missing and no news has been received. Did you harm him?"
By 'you', he was undoubtedly referring to Steven Ram and Hannah Sutton.
In fact, North Sutton had heard such rumors.
A year ago, the plane Suwen boarded had crashed.
But there was never any official confirmation whether Suwen was on the plane or not.
So they had always refused to believe it.
It seems now, nine out of ten, Suwen was likely dead!
Thinking of this, North Sutton wished he could tear Hannah to pieces.
They had been master and student, yet Hannah acted so cruelly.
"Hannah Sutton, you won't die a good death!"
Hannah laughed, "Then you should try to live another fifty to sixty years, or else you won't get to see die a miserable death."
South Sutton squinted, his voice low, "Your involvent in Senior Suen's incident... do you or do you not have anything to do with it?"
Hannah looked at South Sutton calmly, not at all nervous, "This is hypothetical, but even if I did, what could you do about it? I'm about to beco the master of the Sacred dical Hall, and you guys, are but three pathetic worms!"
After saying those words, she turned around and left.
Only when Hannah's figure disappeared did South Sutton finally relax his hold.
West Sutton's face was filled with anger, "Second brother, why did you hold back? As her uncle, don't I have the right to discipline this insolent child who disrespects her teacher and destroys our ancestor's reputation?!"
