In terms of resolving the first two matters, there was nothing more that could be done.
This was because the last one was much more important.
Moreover, in the eyes of these elders, they had taken a step back in the first two matters just to give
Harry Hood face.
But on the last matter, they would not back down.
The eldest one said, "As for the matter of you telling Charlotte Hood to return to the Hood family, it is a
huge matter.It is not something that can be explained with just a few words.There are still many
inconsistencies in all aspects of consideration."
An elder continued, "Yes, this is a rule established by our ancestors.How can it be easily changed
because of one person?"
Someone else said, "Moreover, the matter of Robert Hood going to the South City is fundamentally
different from her.Back then, she was removed from the genealogy and wanted to leave with that
man.We couldn't stop her, so what's the point of coming back now?"
After the group of people condemned Harry Hood, the eldest one raised his hand slightly and stopped
them.
He looked at Charlotte Clarke who had been kneeling on the ground with her head lowered.
"Do you still remember what you said when you left the Hood family?"
"I said, I wish to be removed from the Hood family and never step foot into River City."
"It's good that you remember.Then why did you come back now?"
Charlotte Clarke said, "When my father was alive, I failed to fulfill my filial duties.He just passed away.I
am willing to stay in mourning for three years."
Without waiting for someone to speak, she continued, "I will not enter the genealogy.I only hope to
enter the ancestral hall's mourning period."
Harry Hood said, "Since aunt has said so and this is also grandfather's last wish, I believe everyone
should have no objections."
The group of people swallowed their words and looked at the eldest one.
However, they knew in their hearts that he intended to marry Olivia Hood to Harry Hood.He probably
wouldn't fall out with him.He said, "Forget it, but you have to think about it clearly.
Three years.
Every single day, you have to come here and kneel.It is both mourning and reflecting on the mistakes
you have done over the years."
Jameson Proctor frowned slightly and took a step forward.
Sharon Allyson held his hand and clenched it tightly.
Although she did not know what was going on, Charlotte did not look at Jameson Proctor.
Harry Hood, including the eldest one, did not point out Jameson Proctor.It was obvious that they did not
want him to expose his identity in front of other elders.
"I've thought it through," Charlotte Clarke said.
Great-Grandfather Hood stood up shakily.
"Alright, those who should kneel continue to kneel here.The others should also do their own things."
Ethan Hood stepped forward and helped him leave.
When the other elders saw this, they also left the ancestral hall.
Harry Hood turned to look at Jameson Proctor and Sharon Allyson, and said lightly, "Come with me."
Robert Hood raised his head, his face full of resentment.
Harry Hood turned a blind eye and stepped forward.
Sharon Allyson looked at Charlotte's back and opened his mouth, but she swallowed the words she
wanted to say.Soon, there would be an answer.She retracted her gaze and saw that Jameson Proctor
was also looking at Charlotte.Sharon Allyson pulled the cuffs of his suit.
The latter withdrew his gaze, his cold facial features slightly taut as he brought her away.
When the footsteps gradually faded away, Robert Hood finally heaved a sigh of relief.He felt that he
had come back to life.He sat down on the ground and muttered softly, "Ungrateful!"
As he spoke, he looked at Olivia Hood again and reached out to poke her shoulder.
"Why are you still kneeling? They're already gone."
Olivia Hood was in a fit of pique at this moment, and she ignored him.
Robert Hood pounded his knees.
"Well, how come you've grown so bold recently? You actually dared to go against those old f..."
Charlotte stopped his last word with a gaze.
Charlotte Clarke said lightly, "Disaster comes from the mouth."
Robert Hood immediately covered his mouth and nodded to express his gratitude.
Charlotte Clarke withdrew her gaze and closed her eyes.
After a while, Robert Hood was bored and went to provoke Olivia Hood again, "What's bad about Harry
Hood?"
For this matter to be brought forward, Olivia Hood was full of spirit, and she was furious, "He is ten
years older than me! A whole ten years old! And he is so scary.If I marry him, maybe one day I offend
him, I will be stewed and eaten by him!"
Robert Hood, "..."
Olivia Hood calmed down a little and said, "Oh, and he doesn't eat cooked food.He eats raw food.I
don't want any of my meat to be eaten with sauce.It is so dirty!"
"....”
Robert Hood.
He said, "What are you talking about?"
"Anyway, I don't want to marry him.I have someone I like."
Robert Hood said calmly, "The person you like is also ten years older than you."
Olivia Hood said, "Love is regardless of age."
"But it can be immoral.He's married."
"I checked.He's divorced."
"Didn't you see they were happy together just now?"
Olivia Hood took a deep breath.
"I can wait, wait for them to break up."
Robert Hood said lazily, "Don't wait, it's impossible."
"They divorced even after getting married.So why can't they break up?"
Robert Hood said, "If your father hears this, he will give you another slap."
Olivia Hood was angry because of this.
Hearing this, she stretched her neck and said, "Let him beat me to death! It is better to beat me to
death than to marry Harry Hood and be eaten by him!"
Robert Hood laughed, "Who exactly did you hear from? Who told you that Harry Hood wanted to eat
people?"
"He does! You follow behind him every day.You're not a good person either, so stop talking to me!"
"...”
Robert Hood.
What did he do wrong? Inside the ancestral hall, it was quiet again.
Outside, Ethan Hood's face was ashen.He had clearly heard Olivia Hood's words just now.It was good
for her to kneel here.
This girl was becoming more and more lawless.
At this time, a subordinate walked over.
Ethan Hood retracted his gaze and moved a little further away from the ancestral hall before saying,
"How is it?"
"Master Hood took Jameson Proctor to the side hall and sent people outside to keep watch.We can't
hear what he said."
Ethan Hood said, "I always thought that Jameson Proctor came this time because of the matter with
the South City, but I didn't expect that Harry Hood would actually bring Charlotte Hood back.What
exactly does he want to do?"
"Master, I heard that when Old Master Hood was still alive, he had always wanted to change the Hood
family, but all the elders objected, so he gave up.Harry Hood probably listened to his instructions and
brought Charlotte Hood back.It was only the first step."
Ethan Hood said in a low voice, "The Hood family has been developing until now.More and more
problems have appeared, and many branches have been born.However, the elders of these families
are all on the genealogy.According to the rules, they can only add their names to the genealogy.They
have also benefited from this.They have done many disgraceful things in the name of the Hood family."
"The most important thing is that if we want to change the Hood family, these elders will probably be
uprooted in the end."
"This is the reason why they are against it.”
