He did not expect that none of his sons and daughters would put the family’s dignity first.
All they were thinking about was to stay alive.
This made him feel extremely sad.
As he thought about this, he could not help but reprimand them with a pained expression on his face as he said, "All of you are persuading me to agree to their conditions one after the other, but have any of you thought about the fact that they want to take Curtis' coffin?! Curtis is your own brother. So, how could you give his coffin to others so that they can trample all over it?! If that is the case, even if you can live for a few more years or decades, will you be able t o face Curtis when you die?!"
Hunter smoked his cigar. After that, he yawned and smiled as he said, "Sigh. The old man truly has great foresight. Our lord’s main point is to destroy Curtis' ashes and bones!”
As soon as he heard these words, Charlie really had the strong impulse to twist and rip Hunter's head off his neck directly!
However, Charlie resisted the impulse to do so in his heart. At the same time, he kept warning himself in his heart, 'Stay calm. Stay calm! If I cannot endure this, I will mess up the bigger plans! If I were to do
anything to Hunter today, Porter would never bring his parents' coffins up to Mount Wintry in the morning tomorrow!'
At this time, Carmen lowered her head in embarrassment when she heard Hunter's words.
However, Clayton had a serious expression on his face as he said, "Dad! Curtis is already dead! As the saying goes, when people die, it is like a light that is extinguished. Aside from a coffin and a tombstone, there is nothing else left of them. But we are all still alive! We are all made of flesh and blood. Shouldn't we be thinking and making considerations on behalf of the living?!"
Felix also spoke up, "That's right, Grandpa! It was my second uncle who caused this incident in the first place. That is the reason why they are seeking revenge on us now. There is no reason for us to take the blame for him now."
After saying that, Felix had an even more righteous and indignant expression on his face as he looked at Charlie, clenched his teeth, and said, "Even if someone really has to take the blame, Charlie should be the one to do it. After all, he is my second uncle’s..."
Before Felix could finish speaking, Jeremiah raised his hand angrily and slapped him across his face as h e shouted angrily, "B*stard! You'd better shut up!"
