Carl ignored him and walked inside with Nicole.
The servant looked suspiciously at Nicole, whom he had never seen before.
But since she came with Carl, he did not dare to say anything and let her in.
Nicole looked at the magnificent building as usual, the darker paint only adding to its majestic vibe and
did not overshadow its beauty.
When the sunset fell on this manor, people would be amazed by the sense of history that came with
time.
This was a heritage that only ancient buildings possessed.
Carl and Nicole walked side by side.
The news that Carl had brought a girl home immediately spread throughout the manor.It was still not
nightfall yet, but the hall was already brightly lit.
People were neatly sitting on both sides of a long dining table, and in the head seat sat a senior man.
He was draped in a black nightgown and seemingly could not keep his eyes open.
A woman next to the senior man complained, saying, "Why hasn't Keynes come back? Doesn't he
know the family is facing some problems lately? It's so hard to gather everyone for a meal together
nowadays."
Another man next to her chided the woman.
"Shut up, Merry.Keynes is the only child of our eldest brother, the heir of our family."
This man looked serious, and he spoke what was on his mind and meant his words.He thought Merry
was not qualified to say that about Keynes.
Behind him, yet another man with an uncomely face slowly said, "Merry has a point.Is Keynes going
out to play again during such a bad time? He has always been so willful.Eber, stop defending him just
because he is the heir."
'The heir is replaceable, isn't it?’ They occupied the top three seats besides the head seat, and the rest
of the people dared not say anything upon hearing what they said.These three people were the direct
line of descendants of the Turmann family, and the rest, who were just indirect descendants, had no
say at the dining table.When the senior man sitting in the head seat heard what Simon, his younger
brother, said, a light flashed in his eyes, and he squinted.He looked at the uncomely man next to him
and said disapprovingly, Simon, you have crossed the line."
Simon shot an indifferent look at him, but when his eyes collided with the eyes of the man sitting in the
head seat, he gasped.
"Just shut up, would you?"
Elijah Turmann said languidly, looking at his younger siblings, especially Simon, who was looking
defiantly at Eber.
"Elijah..."
Simon did not seem to back down.But strangely, Elijah did not actually scold him but he still felt a chill
traveling up his spine.
Merry had long since stopped talking.
At this time, she looked at Elijah and quickly lowered her head.
"Elijah, you said you'd solve our problems," she said eagerly, but did not dare to raise her head to look
Elijah in the eyes.
The rest of the people also looked at Elijah eagerly.
