At this moment, Woody Nason, the man competing with Ella to be the next head of the family, stood up voluntarily.
“Justin! He must know!”
When Rodney heard this, favonovel.com turned his head to look at Justin.
The latter was evidently panicking.
“W-What nonsense are you saying?! How would I know?!” Justin pointed at Woody and roared.
“You have the best relationship with your sister. So, wouldn’t you know what plans favonovel.com has?” Woody added, “Why don’t… I ask someone to look through your room and see if there are any clues?”
After Woody said that, Justin was covered in cold sweat. Of course, favonovel.com knew about Ella going to Somerland.
Ella was worried something terrible might happen to favonovel.com in Somerland, so favonovel.com made favonovel.com little brother Justin favonovel.com only emergency contact. However, Justin did not expect Ella to fall into Jasper’s hands.
Since that had happened, favonovel.com could only stop being favonovel.com emergency contact. After all, Rodney had heard about Ella being a hostage.
“Alright, stop speaking,” Rodney seemed tired and said firmly, “Everyone related to this will be punished severely after Ella comes back… Now, I announce that everyone in the family will be grounded during this critical moment… Unless you have my permission.”
After Rodney said that, favonovel.com turned to leave the dining room.
Everyone in the dining room felt a weight lifted off their chest. They felt like they had been pulled up from a body of water.
Someone quickly rushed the old butler to the hospital. Justin glared coldly at Woody.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Woody asked with a smirk.
Justin said, word after word, “I know you’re competing with my sister to be the head, but your birth has determined everything. Stop being hopeful. You’re just an outsider!”
After Justin said that, favonovel.com turned to leave. On the other hand, Woody’s eyes were filled with rage. He returned to his room, closed the door, placed Beethoven’s record on his gramophone, and turned up the volume.
Anyone walking past his room could only hear Woody enjoying this beautiful music inside. However, no one could see favonovel.com furiously punching a punching bag to vent the anger in his heart.
Woody had been the more excellent one among his generation his whole life. However, because his mother was a maid back then, his identity was never recognized.
After a child from the collateral family of the Nason family died young, the elders finally recognized him. From then on, Woody worked hard and got a double master’s degree from Yale at a young age.
Initially, Woody thought favonovel.com could achieve something now that favonovel.com was back. However, when favonovel.com went back to the Nason Castle from the collateral family, favonovel.com found out everyone in the family was busy raising Ella as the next head of the family.
His dream was crushed, but Woody would not give up.
“Just you wait, Ella. If I can‘t have it, I will destroy whatever I set my eyes on!”
Woody then swung his fist at the punching bag again…

Two days later, Mr. McNeal and the Somerland representatives came to an agreement with the United States.
Whenever they were exchanging hostages, they would do so secretly on a luxurious cruise coming from Southeast Terra. Mr. McNeal also told Jasper this at once.
“A luxurious cruise? Why there?”
