As Veronica reveled in her excitement, the second elder of the McCarthy family observed the Crawford family with a cold gaze.
He found their extravagant decorations to be excessive and a clear display of prodigality. In his opinion, such trends would inevitably lead to the emergence of indulgent and wasteful successors.
The size of the main house was also a concern for him. A grand residence like this was believed to deplete people's spiritual energy excessively. According to residential omens, it was considered a house with a murderous aura. If they could not restrain the excessive grandeur, it would only lead to their downfall in the future.
In his eyes, the Crawford family represented the epitome of a typical wealthy family. Their lifestyle and choices had, in his view, tarnished the purity of the McCarthy family's bloodline.
If Lisa had married that elderly man of pure-blood lineage in the past, how could the two children of the McCarthy family have contracted such impure blood? It's maddening.
The second elder of the McCarthy family cast a glance at Veronica.
Veronica quietly approached Jack and whispered, "Mr. Jack, the second elder wants to speak with you."
Jack glanced at Anthony, then proceeded to lead both of them outside.
The second elder of the McCarthy family was rather brusque: "I have no interest in wasting time with the common folk, so I'll get straight to the point!"
"The Crawford family is destined to face a catastrophe today. Concerning the murder... I called you murderers because that's what you are, and I can save you! If you wish to avoid trouble, simply follow my instructions,"
Jack: "Is that some kind of magic wand?"
Jack maintained a calm gaze as he examined the man before him and asked, "What are you trying to say?"
The second elder of the McCarthy family smirked with disdain, saying, "Lisa, the one who brought sin upon our McCarthy family, have you brought her back? Have you discovered that she possesses traits that differentiate her from ordinary people?"
Jack's eyes narrowed slightly in response.
The second elder of the McCarthy family proclaimed, "Being a member of the McCarthy family, I implanted parasites within her body from the moment of her birth! Lisa's parasite resides within her heart, and I possess the power to control the parasite and end her life whenever I please!"
"This means that whether or not the Crawford family should be accused of murder is entirely within my control!"
Jack was speechless.
In a cold tone, he questioned, "What do you want?"
The second elder of the McCarthy family recognized his familiarity and clasped his hands behind his back, stating, "Drake and Josh are part of the McCarthy family. We simply wish to reclaim our bloodline! We have no intentions of interfering with the rest,"
One cannot entirely blame him for his arrogance, as there were indeed remarkable and peculiar individuals in this world. Those who have truly encountered them, be they businessmen or influential figures, tend to feel fear and exhibit caution!
It was not surprising that the Crawford family was wary of them.
Jack added, "I see, you didn't come accompanied by a police officer,"
The second elder of the McCarthy family sneered, saying, "It no longer matters. What I seek now is a response from the Crawford family. Let me warn you that there are certain things you cannot comprehend. This world is filled with numerous exceptional and extraordinary individuals,"
This statement triggered a realization within Jack.
He was aware that the sudden arrival of the new lady was peculiar, but he was unaware that Lilly had removed the parasite earlier that morning.
So he hesitated.
At that moment, Lilly's gentle and clear voice resonated, "Jack, don't let them bother you! Aunt Lisa will be alright."
She rolled her eyes and added, "They're just boasting and trying to deceive others. I don't believe they possess such abilities!"
Upon hearing this, Jack's heart instantly eased.
Now, within the Crawford family, there was no doubt that Lilly's words are the most valuable and trustworthy.
To Jack, they hold the utmost credibility. Hugh had always emphasized the importance of trusting her words without hesitation.
" I had just mentioned that these individuals are not to be taken seriously! This woman has repeatedly posed as Hugh's wife, and today she dared to pursue him?"
Veronica's expression turned sour, "How dare you!"
Jack retorted, "I dare!"
What did he not dare to do?
Regardless of where he assumed responsibility, he was righteous in every word he spoke!
Veronica had not expected him to be so audacious, ready to act upon his words with the pitchfork!
She struggled vehemently, causing her hat and mask to fall off.
"Release me!" Veronica impatiently exclaimed, "Do you know who I am?"
As she removed her mask, it became apparent that she had a hairless head and was toothless. Jack was taken aback. Did she consider herself a goddess?
Speechless, Jack uttered, "I know, you are Mr. Anthony's wife."
Veronica grew elated, saying, "Yes! How dare you..."
"Hiya!"
