Wade got anxious and roared. “Philip, don’t you dare accuse the branch family of such heinous crimes! We have never done such a thing! You’re making this up!”
How could the branch family admit to this kind of thing?. This was the ancestor commemoration ceremony.
Roger Clarke was standing there. The grand elder was also present. If they admitted it, it would be the end of the branch family!
However, Philip just glanced at Wade coldly before his gaze returned to Allen. He said solemnly, “Allen, don’t forget what you promised me.”
At this moment, Allen was kneeling on the ground, and his forehead was covered in a cold sweat. His whole body was shaking. He dared not betray the branch family but he was worried that Philip would kill him, his wife, his children, and his grandchildren.
In the past few days, he had been kept under close watch by the guards. He could not even move an inch. He simply dared not walk around freely, let alone do anything even within the boundaries of the branch family or in his own residence.
The guards were all replaced by the people from the main family. He spent the past few days under such surveillance and was mentally tortured.
As he hesitated, Philip bellowed, “Allen Clarke, if you don’t answer honestly, I can kill you right now! If you speak up and if the branch family dares to do anything to you, I’ll take care of it for you! I’ll settle the score with them sooner or later.”
Allen trembled at Philip’s words. He raised his head slightly to look at Philip. When he met Philip’s cold eyes, he suddenly panicked. He was afraid of death!
In those few seconds, Allen closed his eyes and said with trembling lips, “That’s right! Connor and I once made a plan to assassinate the eldest young master and young madam of the main family.”
Hiss!
There was dead silence.
