"Heather, are you okay?" Hannah asked worriedly.
"I'm alright. Remember what | said." Heather closed her eyes, not wanting to speak anymore.

"Send two of our most trusted men to follow her, and remember not to cause a scene." Heather had a calm expression on her face, not betraying her emotions.
"Yes, | understand." Chump knew what she meant and left to get it done.
Chump had to stay by Heather's side as she continued to meditate. She needed someone she could trust to be by her side in case of an accident, and Chump was the only one suitable for this. However, she also needed others to be around Hannah, especially since she had other thoughts recently. Heather needed to ensure nothing would go wrong.
As noon drew closer, most of the family elders arrived. Most of them were having tea and enjoying their afternoon snacks.
Although they were unaware of the purpose of the meeting, most of them showed up because Margaret had made the invitation and mentioned that it was an important event.
All the family members were gathered in the main hall, which was crowded. However, the main guest was not there yet. Ralph turned to see if Alexander had arrived and instructed the housekeeper to look after their guests and keep bringing more tea and snacks.

Alexander gently patted the back of her hand and whispered, "If it makes you feel uncomfortable, you could go to one of the guestrooms to rest. I'll get you when we're done. | promise it won't be long." "It's fine." Lily shook her head as she saw Ralph approaching them. She smiled and said, "I want to see what he has up his sleeves." "You're really the VIP for making such a late entrance." Ralph laughed.
He was obviously in a good mood as he thought of what would happen that evening. Even his eyes were curved into a smile.
Alexander corrected him, "Uncle, you're wrong. I'm merely returning to my own home. How could | even be counted as a guest." "Sometimes, we just don't know who's the guest or the host," Ralph commented. "Since everyone's here. Let's start."
