Cadfan had already run to the point that his legs were so tired, and he was panting as he said, "Por... Porter, it seems as though... the Wade family... they... they'd rather die than give in..."
Porter said disdainfully, "In that case, all of them can just die!"
Upon saying that, Porter took the lead and walked toward the archway of the Wade family's ancestral grave. Charlie also walked below the archway at this time.
Aside from Jeremiah and Charlie's aunt, Charlotte, the rest of the members of the Wade family did not dare to go too far forward, and all of them were trying their best to stay as far back as they could.
However, all of the people who had rushed over to help Charlie continued standing by Charlie’s side, and there was not even a trace of fear on the few girls' faces at all.
Sophie recognized at a glance that the old man who was wearing mourning clothes on the other team was none other than her grandfather, Cadfan. She immediately asked in surprise, "Grandpa, you... you're
H
Cadfan would never have dreamt that his own granddaughter would be here!
When he lowered his head and saw the mourning clothes that he was wearing, he only felt his aged face burning up. He could not wait to dig a hole in the ground so that he could hide in it.
Just as he was feeling embarrassed, he suddenly noticed Helen, who was beside Sophie. He saw that Helen also looked very surprised, and at the same time, she was looking at him with contempt, and he felt his face getting even hotter.
Cadfan was just about to avoid Helen's gaze when he suddenly saw another figure in the crowd that shocked him! 4
It was Rosalie, his other granddaughter, who was also Sheldon's illegitimate daughter! 2
Cadfan was seriously shocked at this time as he thought to himself, 'Rosalie is actually still alive...'
'Why is her mother here too?!'
He looked at Charlie and the others who were in front of him as he said coldly, "I already sent my men to deliver the message to all the members of the Wade family yesterday saying that you should put on mourning clothes and kneel to receive my parents' coffins today if you want to live. Unexpectedly, none o f you have done as you're told! It seems as though all o f you are really not afraid of death!"
Charlie smiled faintly at this time and said, "I do not know if the others are afraid of death, but I only know that I'm not afraid!"
Most of the members of the Wade family felt extremely nervous at this time. Clayton even whispered to Felix, "Quick! Go and quietly bring the mourning clothes over here!"
Felix nodded. After that, he backed away with his back lowered, and he then took out two sets of mourning clothes from the pile of items for the ancestor worship ceremony. After that, he secretly tucked them into his arms.
What Felix did not expect was that Hugh would also take out several sets of mourning clothes from a tin box containing incense before tucking them into his clothes as if he was a pregnant woman. 3
The both of them glanced at one another, and they could see the surprised look in each other's eyes. They could also guess the other party’s intentions, but they simply ignored one another and turned their heads around as they slipped back into the crowd. 6
