Mr. Kawn glared at them and said sarcastically, "So we have to give whatever the Lafayette family wants, huh? Does the Kawn family mean nothing to you? Don't even mention that child. Even if we find the child, she has nothing to do with you! I'm warning you, as long as I'm still alive, don't you dare lay a finger on her!"
Pierre said in a low voice, "Though she's Miss Kawn's child, she's also my brother's. She is the heir of the Cercis family. We won't give in no matter what!"
Mr. Kawn snorted and didn't have the energy to argue with him.
Pierre took a bow and said politely, "Sorry to bother you. But I will come back."
Then, he left.
After that, the butler came in. Seeing Mr. Kawn sitting there angrily, he rushed there.
"Mr. Kawn, how are you doing? Are you okay?"
Mr. Kawn waved his hand and pointed the medicine bottle on the table nearby.
The butler hastily grabbed the bottle. He took a pill out of it and gave the pill to Mr. Kawn. After a while, Mr. Kawn looked better.
"Oliver, call Wilson. I want to see him right away."
"Yes, sir."
Wilson returned quickly.
He was summoned to the study. They spent the whole afternoon there and no one knew what they were talking about and what decisions they had made.
But the next day, Natalia got an invitation from the Kawn family again.
They informed her that something urgent needed to be discussed and she must go.
The letter of invitation was quite formal and the words were serious and sincere.
But Natalia didn't know what kind of important things from the Kawn family would concern her and why she must go there.
Since they put it that way, no matter how unwilling she was, she had to go.
If she refused, it would be too unreasonable.
So, Natalia and Archie went to the Kawn's mansion that night.
When they arrived, they found that everyone was present, which was really rare.
Not only Mr. Kawn, but Wilson, Tracy, Selena, the elders from the collateral branches of the Kawn family and even Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy were there.
Natalia was shocked.
"Grandpa, grandma, why are you here?"
She walked to Mrs. McCarthy and asked.
They stared at her, looking quite weird.
Obviously, the Kawn family had told them why they wanted them to be here before Natalia arrived.
Mrs. McCarthy gave her a complicated look and sighed, "Lia, since you came, sit here first. No matter what you will hear later, you will always be my granddaughter-in-law and no one can force you to do anything."
Natalia froze and felt even more surprised.
She glanced at Archie puzzledly, only to see that he was silent.
Natalia had no choice but to sit down.
Mr. Kawn relapsed two days ago and the doctor told him to stay in bed and not to walk too often.
