Chapter 14 : The Wolfe Family Since Aurora stepped out of prison, the Wolfe estate had been in such a provocative state.

How pathetic.

The next evening, the atmosphere at the entrance of the Worthington Residence was very festive, with firecrackers sounding continuously. Government officials and wealthy businessmen showed up to attend the Worthingtons' annual family gathering. The Worthington family was one of the Eight Great Families of Ace City, and their influence was only second to that of the Xenos and Sutton families.
