"I can't do it! Even if you gave me some courage, I wouldn't dare!" Dale shook his head, looking sincere and fearful.
"That's for the best. The Lowe family is holding a family meeting tonight at eight o'clock. Remember to attend," Lachlan sneered, patting the young apprentice's shoulder before giving them both instructions.
After he left, the young apprentice's eyes flickered with hesitation. "Master, do we really have to help him testify? Why don't we run now? With our power in Slocmore, he won't dare chase us there. Who knows who will end up dead?"
Dale chuckled coldly. "Run? Why should we run? I have a plan." A sly look flashed in his eyes.
"Regret?
Kid, you're still too naive!
Do you think you can scare me?
I'll make sure both you and Romeo are dumbfounded!
You two fighting each other will only benefit me in the end! Hahaha..."
That evening at Lowe's Mansion...
Everyone gathered in the large courtyard.
All members of the Lowe family were present - direct or indirect.
Victoria sat weakly on a high-backed chair while Romeo and his family respectfully stood by her side.
"Mom, drink some water," Eliza offered Victoria a cup of tea with an obedient expression.
Miranda's Uncle Owen, Uncle George and Aunt Jennifer were also present but their faces showed discomfort and hostility when they looked towards Romeo's family.
Everyone smelled an unusual scent in the air, and as they looked at Victoria's ailing appearance, they knew that today's family meeting, convened by Victoria , was likely to address matters related to her final arrangements.
Observing Romeo's family, occasional expressions of anticipation and satisfaction flashed across their faces, and everyone had some expectations in their hearts.
Victoria sat quietly, remaining silent throughout. It seemed that she had weakened to the point of not wanting to say much.
"Mom, what's wrong? Should we take you to the hospital?" Jennifer, Miranda's aunt, suggested.
"Yes, Mom, we can definitely find the best doctor for you!" Owen also expressed.
Victoria waved her hand dismissively, "I've already found the best doctor..."
"Owen, Jennifer at this point, Mom already has an idea in her heart! If you want to blame someone, blame that damn Lachlan and that little slut Miranda. If it weren't for them, would Mom be like this?" Romeo's face was filled with indignation.
"That's right! She is at such an old age, and the illness has come like a mountain collapsing. We should fulfill our filial duties and do our best! The primary goal today is to seek justice for her before she leaves! You all saw that day, the Emmanuel family drove away Dr. Hall, and then let Lachlan treat her! As a result, that guy seems to want to kill her!" Eliza gritted her teeth and said.
She deliberately spoke loudly so that all the Lowes could hear.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a whispering among the Lowe family members.
"I didn't expect Mrs. Lowe to be so angry because of Emmanuel's family!"
"Lachlan treated Mrs. Lowe? How could that end well?"
"Who doesn't know he holds a grudge against Mrs. Lowe and wishes for her death?"
Listening to these discussions, Romeo, Eliza, and Harlow felt secretly pleased.
