Chapter 1683

Under Tristan's lead, they walked to the inner court straight away.

There were not many people in the inner court now; according to the house rules, if anything big

happened, they needed to worship their ancestors at the outer court first.

There were many antiques placed in the inner court, and they were all Wilfred's favorites.

Tristan brought Matthew to a corner where there was an old, wooden cabinet placed there. The cabinet

was big, and it was empty inside.

"This was my favorite place to hide when I played hide-and-seek back in the day. This is the only place

that can hide people in the whole inner court. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but we'll need to hide

here for a moment, Matthew," she said.

He replied to her with a nod, "It's okay." Then, he entered the wooden cabinet, and Tristan followed

behind him.

Although the wooden cabinet was big, when two adults hid inside together, it became a little cramped.

Matthew and Tristan needed to be very close to each other before they could close the wooden

cabinet's door.

When she leaned against him, she could feel her body becoming feebler and her heart pounding

instantly. At this moment, she had forgotten what she was here for.

Likewise, when he smelled the aroma on her, his heart started racing as well. But almost immediately,

he suppressed his feelings and pulled himself together. After calming himself, he didn't have any other

thoughts anymore.

After around ten minutes, there were voices resonating from the outside. It was the key members of the

Cosby Family coming in.

Even though all the members of the family were here for the family meeting, those who could enter the

inner court and discuss things were actually around thirty people. The others could only wait outside for

the key members to deliver them the news.

There were a few slits in the wooden cabinet, so Matthew could see the situation outside clearly

through the slits.

Rowan was among the crowd as well. Since he was the biological little brother of Sean, the head of the

Cosby Family, his status in the family was actually quite high.

After the crowd entered the inner court and sat themselves down, Sean stood up from the main seat.

His face was gloomy, and his eyes were red. Everyone could tell that he was grieving and that his

daughter's death had a big impact on him.

"Everyone..." After saying that, his voice broke. He couldn’t continue his sentence anymore.

At this moment, with his gray hair and arching back, he was not the mighty head of the Cosby Family

anymore. He was just a poor man who had lost his daughter in his middle age.

Seeing that, Rowan quickly stood up and said, "I'm sorry for your loss, Sean." Following him, the others

stood up and comforted Sean too.

When Tristan saw this side of her father, her eyes reddened as well.

After some time, Sean waved his hand and wiped the tears off the corners of his eyes before grinding

his teeth.

"How can we live under the same sky as him?! How can the Cosbys be at ease if we don't make him

pay for what he's done?! As such, I’ve gathered all of you here today to discuss how we are going to

kill Heath and seek our revenge!" Draмaոovеls.cом

After he said that, everyone there looked at each other awkwardly. It was obvious that they weren't

supportive of his idea.

"Heath Solis, the unrivaled swordsman, is one of the Six Kings and the King of Centoufield! Do you

know how much it will cost our family to kill him?"
