Chapter 1036
"That’s right, Young Master Fane. You're the master's son—that is something that can't be changed.
That's why we'll acknowledge you. But you can't just kill the people of the Lowe family at your whims
and fancy!"
Another old man stood up as well. "Unless this is your little gift to us for your recent return?" he said to
Fane.
Fane’s brows creased together as he saw many members of the Lowe family stepping forward. Many
of the elders, as well as Lily, had all voiced their opinions. It seemed that the Lowe family had
considerable influence over the Woods family.novelbin
Furthermore, the incident had taken place
over five hundred years ago. There had been two to three hundred witnesses, but they had emerged
along with this fat woman. He was certain that they were allies, and that they were not in a position a s
strong as Yvette.
If that was the case, it was evident that none of the people here would give a truthful testimony.
"Fine. I'll forget that this ever happened!"
Fane thought about it for a while before he spoke, flashing a frosty smile.
"That's fantastic. No matter what, Young Master Fane has returned. Let us arrange his accommodation
first!"
The First Elder stood up. "We’ll discuss about the successor to the head of the house another time!" he
said.
However, he did not expect Fane's
immediate reply. "I don't have much interest to be the head of the house. I'm not that close to the
Woods family, after all. If someone else wants to take the position, let them have it. I came back just to
see my father—and to find a way to save my friend, Fernando!”
"That fellow is practically dead, isn't he? Can he still be saved?"
The Third Elder looked at Fernando, slung over Ethan's back. He noticed that the young man was not
moving a single inch, and his chest was not heaving. He frowned.
"I know that the Woods family possesses a treasure called the Cryo Pearl, which can seal a person in
ice and preserve their life. My friend can only live for three or four more days. That's why I thought..."
Fane struggled to put his thoughts into words, and when he did, he did it so shamefacedly.
Yet Lily cut in before he could finish his sentence. "Don't even think about it. Who is your friend? Why
should we use our treasure to save him? The Cryo Pearl is priceless. Do you know how difficult it was
for us to obtain it?”
The Third Elder also gave a cold smile. " Don't overstep your boundaries, Young Master Fane. Do not
forget that you're an illegitimate child, and you've never contributed anything to the Woods family all
these years. Upon your arrival, you killed the Ninth Patronum, and you even slandered the Lowe
family's name. Heh. W e won’t hold you against all of this for the sake of the master, but you asking for
the Cryo Pearl is too much."
Another elder from the Woods family stood up again and spoke. Co?tent of Dr?м??ovеls.cоm
"I think we should wait and see. I believe that Lance is still alive. He will be the heir after he comes
back!"
Lily argued in favor of her son.
"Enough!"
