I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 928

Harold and the rest of the Shepard family exchanged bewildered looks, not understanding the situation.

Gresham was the first to react, stepping forward to question the guard. "The Knight family is hosting a grand banquet today, and nearly everyone of note in Pyralis is here. Our Shepard family is no different. Why are you stopping us but letting everyone else in?

"Even if we were to be turned away, we deserve to know the reason for this treatment. Are we being singled out? "

The guard responded, "We have orders from above: no one from the Shepard family is allowed to enter."

Gresham immediately asked, "Why?"

The guard replied, "We only follow orders. We don't know anything beyond that."

Gresham was taken aback by the guard's firm stance and didn't know what to say next. He returned to Harold and whispered, "Dad, what should we do now? Should we go back?"

Harold's face was tense, and his sharp eyes scanned the Shepard family members behind him. "Have any of you caused trouble recently to offend the Knight family?"

Fernanda and Trina quickly stepped forward to clarify.

"Grandpa, I've been with my parents recently and have been very well-behaved. I haven't caused any trouble at all," Fernanda said, glancing at Trina. "As for some people, I wouldn't know."

Trina momentarily turned pale as she recognized the insinuation in Fernanda's words. She bit her lip and looked at Harold with a weak, pitiful expression. "Grandpa, I've been dedicating my time to improving my research skills. I haven't had any contact with the Knight family."

Vera was worried that Harold might connect this to Trina's previous incident, so she quickly stepped in to support her. "That's right, Dad. Trina has been working so hard recently and focusing solely on her research. She's aiming to join Ms. Bonita's institute and hasn't had any time to interact with anyone from the Knight family."

Upon hearing their explanations, Harold's expression softened a bit. "It's good that you haven't caused any trouble."

Despite this, his confusion grew. If no one in their family had offended the Knight family, why were they being barred from entering?

Harold was unable to figure it out. He glanced at Briggs standing nearby, thinking he might know something. He approached Briggs with this in mind.

"Briggs, what a mess! Our family is being barred from entry. I've already asked the younger ones, and none of them have interacted with the Knight family. Could it be a mistake?"

Briggs thought to himself, ‘You're asking me? I'm not part of the Knight family, how would I know the reason?’ Though he thought this, he maintained a polite demeanor and responded accordingly.

"There must be a mistake. After all, the Shepard family isn't known for causing trouble, right? But the Knight family is busy with the wedding right now and probably doesn't have time to handle this. Maybe you should take your family back for now and discuss this with them later when they have more time."
