In the meantime, in Cledondale at the North.
Helen, who was in her early forties, had just finished her spa session. She walked out of the sauna and looked at herself in the mirror to check out the result of the session.
Her most trusted aide, Charlie, was standing aside on stand-by.
As Helen looked at herself in the mirror, she asked nonchalantly, "What's wrong? Why have you rushed over in such a hurry?”
Charlie replied politely, "Nathan has shown up at the Cross Family's old house in the East. He was there to pay tribute to his late mother. However, he has broken Zachary's legs."
When she heard Charlie's words, Helen's lips curled upwards. "I have no idea Nathan has become such an arrogant brat. It has been a decade since we last heard from him, but he made a move against those from my family and the Cross
Family the minute he showed up."
Before Charlie went on, he hesitated for quite some time. "Nathan has broken Zachary's leg. He has ordered his men to move his late mother's grave back to Tiverton Mountain as well. Apart from that, he has..."
"What?" Helen asked as she frowned.
"Nathan warned everyone from the Cross Family that he wants everyone to show up in front of his late mother's grave and kneel there for three consecutive nights to repent for their sins. If sir and you refuse to show up, he'll come after those from the Cross Family soon." Charlie repeated Nathan's words.
The moment Helen heard what Charlie said, she laughed wholeheartedly. "What an arrogant brat! The Cross Family has always been a prominent family. In fact, we're one of the top families in the North in terms of fame and wealth. Who the hell does Nathan think he is? How dare he utter such words?"
"Should we tell sir about this?" Charlie asked.
"His birthday in a few days. Let's not trouble him with such trivial matters. I don't any such things to affect his mood,” Helen beckoned and instructed.
"How should we deal with Nathan?" As soon as Charlie nodded and took note of Helen's instruction, he asked once more.
"Get in touch with my cousin, Tyson, as soon as possible. Tell him to get rid of Nathan the soonest he can," Helen told Charlie.
"Yes!" Charlie replied in a serious tone.
In the meantime, Colin, who was in Sunnydale on the outskirts of Horton at the East, had moved Nathan's mother's grave back to Tiverton Mountain. Apart from that, they erected a lavish headstone for her.
Colin completed everything based on
Nathan's instruction within a day.
Before leaving, Nathan instructed Colin to assign someone to keep an eye on his mother's grave. He didn't want anyone from the Cross Family to mess with his mother's grave anymore.
