Today was the sixtieth birthday of the Cross Family Patriarch.
It was inconceivable that someone would dare to send paintings of hell on such a happy occasion, let alone organize a funeral procession.
Suddenly, the carnival-like atmosphere of the birthday banquet had changed into a funeral!
Trembling with anger, Zayn berated, "Who are you? Who has sent you to cause trouble here?"
Meanwhile, Helen called out to her men.
Suddenly, hundreds of their subordinates in black suits surrounded Colin.
However, Colin and his men remained calm, not showing any signs of fear.
Smiling, he introduced himself, “Sir, we are under the orders of Mr. Cross to send these presents to you."
Surprised, Zayn demanded to know,
"Which Mr. Cross?"
Edging his chin forward, Colin replied, "My master, Nathan!"
Nathan!
At the mention of the name, Zayn immediately recalled the rebellious son, whom he had kicked out and broken ties with.
He retorted angrily, "And yet, I thought that useless brat had died with his mother."
Colin replied in a frosty tone, "Mr. Cross has been well all these years. Other than sending me, along with these gifts, he has a message for the Cross Family."
Suppressing his anger, he asked, "What is it?"
Colin replied, "Mr. Cross wants the Cross Family to kneel at his mother's grave for three days and three nights, reflecting on their mistakes. As of now, there is still half a month left from the one-month deadline he'd given earlier."
"Mr. Cross wants to remind you that there's not much time left and that this is your last chance. He hopes that you will not waste it.”
Zayn was not only filled with shock but also overwhelmed with anger.
Widening his eyes, he scoffed, "What are you saying? Nathan actually dared to demand the Cross Family to kneel in front of his mother's grave to ask for forgiveness?"
Colin replied indifferently, "We have informed the Cross Family about this half a month ago. Why do you look so surprised now?”
Zayn was even more stunned to hear that.
