Minerva''s features twisted into a frown, her expression mocking and angry. Hera''s family was also a picture of arrogance. They initially thought the man that Hera kept hade to the Mare family to present a generous gift and offer his humble greetings. Who would have expected him to not only be empty-handed but also brush off Leonard''s attempts at ttering him?


    If Hera had not been the one who invited him over to help the family, Minerva would have chased him away.


    "Minerva, shut up!" Leonard roared at her with a frown.


    Minerva scoffed. "Was I wrong?"


    Leonard''s palm went flying. "Are you done?"


    Realizing that Leonard pped her, Minerva red back at him. Only then did she notice that Leonard was desperately hinting at her. She finally recalled that the Mare family was on the verge of bankruptcy. They needed help from Hera and Nash to get through this crisis. After ncing at Minerva in disgust, Nash walked into the manor.


    Yvonne immediately approached him and linked her arms with his with affection. While fluttering her eyes, sheplimented, "Nash, I noticed you''ve be more handsome than before!"


    Nash pulled his arm away, annoyed. He scolded her, "Don''t you know that men and women shouldn''t get too close?"


    Yvonne pursed her lips. "What''s wrong? I only see you as my cousin-inw. I don''t have any improper thoughts toward you!"


    Nash''s mouth twitched when he heard her response. ''It wouldn''t be good if she actually started having improper thoughts,'' he thought to himself.


    In the vi, Zeke looked to be in a trance as he sat on the couch. With just one look, Nash knew that Zeke was in a bewitched state at the moment. Just as Leonard and others walked into the living room, James ordered, "Yvonne, go make a cup of tea for your cousin''s husband!"N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    Yvonne instructed the maid to make tea.


    Nash proceeded to sit on the couch and calmly asked, "Tell me, what are the problems you''re facing?"


    "It started from..."


    Leonard attempted to exin, but Nash interrupted his words, "I want James to tell me."


    Hearing that, Leonard looked at James awkwardly. He now realized that cooperation was essential among the family. It was not possible for him to protect the Mare family all by himself.


    Feeling slightly surprised and ttered, James replied in a low voice, "Right now, we have two problems.


    "The first is that my godfather ended up in a trance after he fell. Despite sending him to the hospital, the doctors couldn''t find anything wrong.


    "The second is that my godfather''s


    third brother''s family has recently joined forces with two business families to suppress us. Since they''re also backed by the Graham family, we''ve lost a lot of customers, which has caused a huge gap in our funding chain!"


    After a short pause, he added, "I suspect my godfather has been poisoned again!"


    Nash shook his head and responded, "He has been possessed."


    "Possessed?"


    James immediately thought of the third uncle. Was he the one targeting Zeke? "My godfather was poisonedst time as well, and now, he''s possessed. Could my third uncle''s family be behind all this?"


    A hint of coldness shed in Liam''s eyes. He said, "Our uncle is going overboard. Does he really think that our lineage is easily bullied?"


    Knowing that his uncle was now with the Mare family and worried that he might be able to hear them, Leonard whispered, "It''s best we don''t make assumptions before the investigation result is out!"


    The reason the family was able to stabilize themselves in this situation was due to the third uncle''s support. It would only make things worse for their family if he was angered.


    The moment Leonard said that,


    there were noises outside. A


    well-dressed middle-aged man in a


    suit strode into the living room along with a man and a woman. With a


    е cold snort and fake smile, the middle-aged man said, "I heard that there''s an important guest today, Leonard. Yet, you failed to inform me!"


    As Yvonne ced the brewed tea on the coffee table, she introduced the middle-aged man to Nash in a soft voice, "This person is my great-grandfather''s son, Chad, ad. He


    hired someone to assassinate Hera


    before."


    As soon as Nash heard that, his eyes turned cold instantly.


    Kon


    Leonard gave Chad a nonchnt look and replied, "He is not here to see you anyway. What does it have to do with you?"


    The eldest uncle''s lineage and the third uncle''s lineage both had their own opinions about each other.
