Bruce was stunned when he heard Jacob’s words.
He then immediately understood what Jacob meant.
He could only endure it silently.
“I don’t want to die, elder brother, please save me!”
At this point, Bruce was not afraid of losing face. Instantaneously, he quickly ran over and knelt in front of Brian.
All he wanted was to survive!
Morris, who was also known as Dr. Swift had been doctoring all his life and he never did a mistake. If Dr. Swift did treat him, Bruce knew that he would definitely survive.
When Fiona saw Bruce bagging, she immediately wanted to ridicule him.
Of course, she would not disagree to save Bruce. She was just angry.
However, it seemed like Brian already anticipated what Fiona was going to do. He immediately pressed her arm and stopped her.
“Bruce, since I know you’re sick, I will definitely not ignore you. Even if you don’t say anything, I’ll also let Jacob and the others save you, quickly get up!”
Brian quickly helped Bruce up.
“It’s just that both Jacob and Dr. Swift said that you, sister-in-law and Marry are sick, but your son-in-law is totally fine, I wonder what is the reason?”
Brian reminded.
When Brian saw that Bruce did not fuss about the matter that he had purposely tried to embarrass Bruce, he had a hint of shame in his heart.
But, after receiving the confirmed answer from his elder brother, Bruce heaved a sigh of relief and felt that he could have continued to survive again.
At this moment, after hearing such words from his elder brother, Bruce realized there was something wrong too.
However, even if he doubted in his heart, it was futile as he did not have evidence.
Brian knew that if Jacob said that, then he must have known something. Without further delay, Bruce looked at Jacob again.
Jacob sighed helplessly when he had eye contact with his father-in-law.
“The reason is simple. It’s because you guys are tainted with the scents the same as these things that are several times more intense. If someone can still survive for a long period after being eroded by the evil mana, then there must be something wrong!”
While Jacob was speaking, he pointed at those jades and bracelets that Tripp had brought as gifts.
Hearing that, those relatives who had already put their gifts on the table hurriedly took a few steps backward as if they were afraid of being harmed by something.
Whereas, those who were greedily keeping the gifts so far, were also frightened. They quickly took the gifts out, threw them onto the table and stood far from them.
As soon as Jacob said this, Tripp, who was in the crowd, began to feel his heart throbbing with fear.
And Marry, who was extremely arrogant towards Jacob at the beginning, hurriedly took off the earrings with her trembling hands.
“You, you mean this kind of thing?” She quickly looked at Jacob.
Jacob revealed a sneer, “This’s only one of them. The gifts brought by Tripp have evil mana that is normally produced in the tombs and is not so intense. At most, the evil mana will just make you very sick. However, the evil mana from the things that you guys wear is countless times more intense and I am worried that they are not just naturally tainted in the tombs…”
If they were not naturally tainted, what else could it be? Someone purposely did this?
Bruce looked at Tripp.
Tripp quickly took a deep breath to calm himself down, “I bought these things from a second-hand dealer because they were genuine and the price was low so I didn’t care so much. But I never expected that these are the burial goods from the graves.
Dad, Mom, Marry, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for wanting to do my best to provide a more luxurious lifestyle for you all. I really never expect that it will almost lead to serious consequences, it’s all my fault…”
Tripp showed a guilt-ridden face.
The expressions of Bruce and Marry, etc., now looked a little better.
It seemed that this was the truth.
Tripp also could not judge whether the evil mana on these things was intense or not.
They also hurriedly threw away all the things given by Tripp.
Bruce also decided that after returning to South China, he would throw away all the things given by Tripp that were placed at home.
Then, he would buy a new house.
“Jacob, you calumniate me and try to destroy my family relationship because you hold a grudge that I embarrassed you just now, how can you be so petty?”
Tripp could not contain his anger as his plot had almost been exposed. He stared at Jacob with his eyes that flashed with fury and resentment.
He was not afraid of offending Jacob.
