Viola tried to hold back her anger but failed and stepped forward with a frown. "You haven't officially returned to the Faulkner Family yet, and you're already so late. Do you want to put on airs for us elders?"
Huxley looked sullen.
"What do you mean? Charlotte is Congreve's daughter. Why can't she be here?" Huxley looked at them with a gloomy face.
Several collateral members shivered. It was obvious that the patriarch, Huxley, had a lot of prestige. In particular, he had been busy dealing with many people in public and in secret recently. No one knew who would become the next one.
Viola glanced at Huxley grumpily. "Do you still want to put on airs as the patriarch in front of me? You're just an adopted son."
"Who is this old lady?" Charlotte stepped forward with a smile as if the dispute in the cemetery had never happened before.
Viola was stunned and didn't expect Charlotte to pretend not to know her.
But after all, what happened that day was not honorable. It was better for Charlotte to behave like this. She coughed softly and said, "I am your grandma..."
Charlotte deliberately frowned and looked at Huxley in confusion. "I read a lot of things in the information. It seems to be a little different... Didn't my grandmother pass away?"
Seeing that Charlotte pretended to be confused, Huxley was no longer angry.
He bent his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter. You can ask me if you don't understand. This is the wife of your grandpa's cousin. You can call her grandmother."
