Making 161
In the Palmer family’s manor…
There was a gust of night breeze that made the fallen leaves rustle. It was a desolate and sad scene.
In just one night, Mr. Emerson, Uncle Cooper, and several bodyguards had died.
Many people in the manor were about to panic because so many had died. Quite a few bodyguards and servants left.
At this moment, the manor was so quiet that it seemed gloomy.
In the villa, white gauze and cloth were hung everywhere. Mr. Emerson’s portrait was hanging in the middle of the living
room.
The Palmer family had set up the mourning hall there.
There were three urns that contained the ashes of Emerson, Uncle Cooper, and Dean. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Russell, Herbert, and the rest of the Palmer family wore mourning clothes and sat in the mourning hall, All of them had melancholic expressions on their faces.
Some were burning paper money, while some female relatives were crying softly.
Russell and Herbert seemed mournful too.
They were full of great sorrow because Mr. Emerson had passed away.
Without Mr. Emerson around to take charge of the family, it would soon decline and fall apart.
The Gastronova Ventures had already collapsed.
The Palmer family’s remaining businesses were declining by the day.
Russell and Herbert were not good at running their businesses. They were unable to get the Palmer family out of its hardship.
Without Mr. Emerson, they were lost.
The Palmer family would soon decline and be ruined.
That was why they seemed sorrowful and felt so down.

And they wanted to know the reason why he had killed their father.
For now, they wondered who the next target was.

A gust of cold wind swept through the villa’s gate. The white gauze around the mourning hall fluttered, paper money flew, and the candles flickered.
Russell, Herbert, the rest of their relatives, and the servants next to them were all creeped out. They all had goosebumps.
A chilling feeling ran down their spines.
They all opened their eyes wide and focused on the villa’s gate.
Suddenly, a couple of figures flew in and landed in the mourning hall.
As they flew in, everyone felt another gust of wind.
The wind brought a sandstorm into the mourning hall, making it difficult for the Palmer family members to open their
eyes.
After the sandstorm subsided, Russell and Herbert noticed two men in the hall. One was in his 50s, and there was a younger man in his 80s.
The older man was bald and fat. He had a white beard and was tall, muscular, and massive like a mountain.
The younger man had short hair and a muscular body. He had a dominant presence.
If Gilmore were here, he would recognize the muscular man with short hair as Clive Ray.
“Who knows where Uncle Cooper and Dean are?” At this time, the older man’s dignified gaze fell on Russell and his family standing in the mourning hall.
Russell and the rest soon came back to their senses.
Russell hurriedly stood up because he felt the older man’s aura. He should be a highly–skilled martial arts master. Russell said respectfully, “Sir, why are you looking for Uncle Cooper and Dean?”
“I’m their senior brother, Lawrence Ray. We agreed to meet here tonight.” The older man stroked his beard as he spoke.

Russell was astonished. “So you’re Uncle Cooper and Dean’s senior! I pay my respects to you most sincerely,” he quickly said.
After saying that, Russell bowed respectfully to the older man.
The bald old man, Lawrence, was indeed Uncle Cooper and Dean’s senior.
The younger man, Clive, was his son.
The father and son made this trip from Sunsbury to Oakhaven because of a serious matter that involved Clive.
They had come here to settle some business.
Moreover, before Clive came, he had contacted Uncle Cooper and Dean. They previously agreed to meet at the Palmer family’s manor tonight.
“Dad, how can there be memorial tablets with their names in the mourning hall? Clive spotted the tablets with his sharp

eyes and asked his father with doubt.
Lawrence’s vision immediately fell on the memorial tablets standing in the mourning hall.
His eyes suddenly flashed with anger. His palm shot out like lightning, and he grabbed the collar of Russel’s shirt.

Russell immediately began to breathe with difficulty. He was suffocating! His eyes opened widely, and his face turned red!
He was petrified and wanted to shout, but he couldn’t make a single sound.
He could sense an aura of death enveloping his heart.
“Tell me the truth! Did you or the rest of the Palmer family kill my two junior brothers?” Lawrence’s eyes were filled with fury as he shouted at Russell.
Lawrence’s internal mana was drowning with rage and wrath. His long gown fluttered in the wind, and he had murderous intentions.
Herbert and the rest of his family were all extremely frightened.
When Herbert finally controlled himself, he quickly called out to Lawrence, “Mr. Lawrence, Uncle Cooper and Dean weren’t killed by arry of us. The murderer is someone else!”
Immediately after hearing Herbert’s words, Lawrence loosened his grip on Russel’s neck.
Russell, whose eyes were already white due to being suffocated, could finally breathe. It was like he had just entered the gates of hell and returned.
Lawrence’s eyes were
still overflowing with anger as he stared at Herbert. He asked, “You said that your family didn’t kill my, junior brothers. Then tell me who did it.”
Herbert then told him how Mr. Emerson, Uncle Cooper, and Dean died. They died at the hands of a mysterious masked man wearing all black last night.
“Mr. Lawrence, before Uncle Cooper died, he handed a letter to my father, requesting him to give it to you. I’m keeping the letter now because my father has passed away,” Russell, who could breathe now, informed Lawrence.
Lawrence immediately withdrew his palm and ordered, “Give me the letter!”
Russell quickly took out the letter from his pocket and gave it to Lawrence, and said, “Mr. Lawrence, here is the letter.” “When he gave this letter to my father, his last wish was to get your help to avenge him and kill Gilmore.” Lawrence gazed with intensity at Russell and shouted, “What did you say? Kill Gilmore?”
Russell thought that he had said something wrong, so he quickly said, “Those were Cooper Merrett’s last words. If you feel that it’s inappropriate, just forget it.”
However, Lawrence asked again, “You just mentioned Gilmore, right? Tell me all you know about this person.”
Russell was surprised. He thought, “Why do I feel that Lawrence knows something about Gilmore?”
Although Russell hesitated, he answered his question, “Gilmore is one of the Evermore Group founders. He’s in a relationship with the daughter of the Carter family, Claire Carter
