Heading to his estate alongside Elke, Lothur parked his red SUV in front of his house a few minutes after leaving the academy.
However, when he and Elke got out of that car, they soon lost their smiling expressions as they felt Mabel's aura and her shouting at Annaliese.
"What have you done, Annaliese?!" Mabel's voice reached Lothur and Elke's ears, making this redhead shiver and retreat a few steps in fear.
Lothur frowned, promptly using his visual ability to see through his property's walls and notice the problem.
Doctor Snee was standing next to Viktoria and Annaliese in the room where Mabel and Aiken were red with anger, with this woman shouting all sorts of things at her youngest daughter.
So it was pretty obvious that the problem of it all was Annaliese's pregnancy!
"Elke, go to your family home. I must solve some problems with Viktoria and Annaliese's family." He said to her, feeling it was better to have as few people as possible in that place.
Elke had no relation to the problem at hand, so it was best he sent her home to avoid her suffering any consequences of the problem within that residence.
"That..." She looked at him, wanting to stay to celebrate with him. But noticing the seriousness on Lothur's face, Elke clenched her fists and reluctantly accepted.
"Then good luck... The Frost matriarch seems pretty angry. I hope she doesn't cross the line." She said to him before hugging him and kissing his cheek.
"Hmmmm."
"Good luck."
After those words, Elke quickly moved toward her home while Lothur stood outside that residence for a few moments, preparing himself to face the problem.
No one could sense his aura, so even though he was there, Mabel did not notice his presence as she sermonized Annaliese and Viktoria to listen.
'Sigh... Time to face that viper.' Lothur sighed before heading towards the interior of his house.
...
Inside the room where Viktoria had brought her sister, Annaliese was at this moment pale, with tears on her face as she listened to her mother talking about all sorts of things.
Mabel was disappointed to find out that Annaliese had gotten pregnant out of wedlock. No, hell, this girl had gotten pregnant outside of even an engagement!
To make matters worse, she was hiding the identity of the dirty man who had done this to her, even though her parents were demanding an answer.
So even the normally calm Aiken was upset, filled with bitterness that his youngest daughter had done something so wrong.
"How could you do that, Anna?" He asked in a lower tone than his wife but speaking loud enough for his voice to reach the neighboring houses.
Doctor Snee stood in the corner of that room with an ugly expression, not wanting to remain in the middle of a family argument but with no option to leave since Annaliese needed his assistance.
On the other hand, Viktoria was pale and embarrassed as her parents also commented negatively about her hiding things from them.
Amid this, Lothur entered that room, slightly startling Mabel and Aiken, who did not notice his arrival for obvious reasons.
"Hmm, good evening, everyone," Lothur said. At the same time, he had a bitter smile on his handsome face, walking past Mabel and Aiken but without looking those two in the eye.
He sat down next to Annaliese, and those two looked at him, saying nothing for the first time in the last 15 minutes.
"Lothur, do you know what is going on with Annaliese?" Aiken was the first to speak after the momentary silence.
Doctor Snee looked at Lothur and frowned, noticing how this man had sat next to Annaliese. 'It can't be...'
Gulp!
While that doctor was suspicious of the situation, Lothur went straight to the point to try to resolve this without further ado. "Yes... To tell you the truth, father-in-law, I am to blame for what is happening to Annaliese."
"What, but how would that be possible?" Without thinking much about it, Aiken asked, trying to understand how Lothur could be guilty of something...
But Mabel was no longer expecting anything good from her son-in-law and promptly realized the meaning of Lothur's words. "What did you say?" She cried.
"Anna and I have known each other for some time now... This baby she is expecting is mine."
Aiken turned pale white at hearing such words, while Mabel turned even redder, clenching her fists so hard that the sounds of her bones cracking could be heard throughout the room.
Annaliese looked at Lothur, embarrassed, while Viktoria looked away, also not feeling well about the situation.
Only Doctor Snee was not showing his feelings out of control, watching everything with interest in this family drama.
"What did you say, you bastard?" Mabel shouted, taking slow steps toward him.
Aiken then said. "Lothur, this is no time for you to make bad jokes! This is impossible! Annaliese would never do that, would you, daughter?"
"That..." Annaliese turned her face away from her father.
Mabel was already confident that Lothur was the child's father and shouted at him before attacking him. "I'll kill you, you bastard!"
Lothur saw that woman punching toward his face and promptly activated the Space Belt, jumping to a position farther away from that woman.
Mabel was not like the two individuals he had defeated. Besides being a bit stronger in terms of Soul strength, this woman would give him no chance to hit her with his Laser Sight while she was defenseless.
With her powers active, she could easily defend herself against him and still press him!
Lothur was aware of all this and wanted to avoid being in the range of his violent mother-in-law!
"You are going to kill the father of your future grandchild? Are you crazy?" Lothur said, already noticing that woman changing her movements to move toward his new position.
"You deserve to die for not only defiling one of my daughters but doing this to both of them!" She said this, furious.
Amidst his attacks and temporary escapes from Lothur, Aiken was very disappointed. Still, as the leader of a decaying family that needed the help of the Ritter Motor Company, he had no choice but to put his ego aside.
He then moved toward Lothur and Mabel as those two were already fighting outside the young Ritter's estate.
"Honey, let's talk the matter over calmly!" He shouted, trying to help Lothur at least escape the worst in front of that angry woman.
"Aiken, how dare you to have the audacity to side with that little imp?" She brandished, still trying to reach that silver-haired fellow.
"We need Lothur. You can't kill him, Mabel!" Aiken shouted, feeling bad but sure that he had to defend his family's interests before his own pride.
With those words, he attracted some of his wife's attention.
