The news of the three patriarchs coming to apologize quickly spread to the Long family. Lucy Long and Yank Wood were called back to explain.
As soon as she stepped into the gate, Lucy Long was shocked. Several uncles in the family were all here. She knew that if the family had not made a big decision, these elders would not have come to the Longs' Mansion for no reason.
Jack Long and his fellows were looking at them with gloating faces, which made her feel uneasy.
"Grandpa, we're here." Lucy Long shouted softly.
Hearing this, Austin Long slowly raised his head and looked at Lucy Long. There was no joy on his face, but a little calmness. Finally, his eyes fell on Yank Wood.
The two of them looked at each other fiercely as usual and did not give in to each other.
To Yank Wood's surprise, Ted Long, who was standing aside, took the lead to attack before Austin Long could speak.
“Lucy Long, do you know your crime?"
"I don't know what kind of crime Lucy has committed. Uncle, please make it clear!"
Lucy Long was at a loss. She didn't understand why her uncle said that. Didn't they say that they would come back to explain the apology of the three big families? How did it suddenly become to scold her?
"Let me ask you, did The Chapmans, the Lewis family, and the White family go to your mansion yesterday? The three family masters sent you gifts and apologized to you. Is that true?" Ted Long looked at Lucy Long with a sinister face and asked.
She was right, but Lucy Long always felt that her uncle's tone was strange.
After thinking for a while, Lucy Long nodded and admitted, "It's true, but it's all because of the previous grudges. They suddenly came here, and we didn't know it in advance."
Ted Long's eyes flashed, and he asked sternly, "You don't know? Then why did I hear that you didn't go to the company in the past two days, but stayed at home with Yank Wood?"
Hearing this, Yank Wood's face couldn't help but become cold. Obviously, Ted Long had enough preparation and asked questions directly.
"This...
" Lucy Long couldn't answer.
She couldn't tell her uncle that she had listened to Yank Wood's words and chose to stay at home to guard Yank Wood in case of accidents, but she didn't expect that the three families would really come, and their attitude was extremely humble.
But then she reacted and felt that there seemed to be another point in Ted Long's words.
Lucy Long looked at her uncle, Ted Long, with a heavy face and asked, "Uncle, what do you want to say? Just say it!"
Hearing this, Ted Long grinned hideously. "Well, since you want to know, I will tell you. You have admitted that the patriarch of the three major families took their child to your mansion to apologize. Then we suspect that you have a secret relationship with the three families in private and intend to betray the Long family."
His words were like a bomb exploding in the hall, and everyone was silent.
