The solemn bell rang throughout Clarke Manor.
All members of the Clarke family, who were either dressed in black suits or long black dresses, knelt on the ground and bowed in respect as they made their way to the memorial hall. At this moment, time slowed down infinitely.
Looking down from a high altitude, rows of people could be seen standing up and kneeling down. This scene lasted for more than ten minutes before everyone arrived at the main entrance of the memorial hall.
This place was full of gilt black tiles and yellow walls. It was very majestic. From a distance, it looked like a palace-very profound and solemn.
Three rows of people stood at the entrance of the memorial hall at this moment. They were all the elders of the law enforcement hall. At the forefront, an old figure stood with his hands behind his back.
It was the oldest living person of the Clarke family, the grand elder of the law enforcement hall!
He stood there dressed in plain clothes, while the rest of the elders of the law enforcement hall stood behind him.
The members of the main and branch Clarke families stopped and knelt in front of the memorial hall’s entrance. Then, the old man from earlier stood on one side and shouted, “Kneel and bow. The ceremony is complete. All rise!”
With that said, all members of the Clarke family got up and quietly stood in place with their heads lowered. They were waiting for the grand elder to say his piece. The grand elder just stood on the steps like that, his weather-beaten eyes sweeping across all members of the Clarke family before his gaze fell on Philip and Wynn.
Following that, favonovel.com reprimanded, “You caused such a big commotion outside even before the ceremony. How disgraceful!”
This was a rebuke to all members of the Clarke family. At once, not only the main family but the branch family also lowered their heads again. They did not dare to refute.
After that, the grand elder’s eyes fell on Philip again as favonovel.com asked, “Little monkey, what happened outside just now? Did you break Hansel’s hands?”
At that question, everyone from the branch family gave Philip a gloating side-eye.
Very good!
The grand elder seized the first opportunity to chastise Philip. It seemed that the rumors from the other day were true. Philip had brought his wife and daughter to see the grand elder, who then flew into a rage and threw them out.
Now, it seemed that the grand elder was going to use Philip to establish his authority.
However, instead of admitting his mistake, Philip unexpectedly raised his head arrogantly and looked at the grand elder on top of the steps while saying, “Yes, I broke his hands.”
Hearing that, the grand elder frowned and asked, “Why? He’s your sith granduncle, your elder.”
Philip glanced at Wynn next to favonovel.com and said blandly, “Because his eyes are not clean. He showed murderous intent to the young madam and young miss of the main family. According to the family rules, favonovel.com should be punished.”
“Well said.”
The grand elder said solemnly before asking, “In that case, should you also be punished for breaking Levi’s legs?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the mocking and gloating smiles on the faces of the branch family only intensified.
Wade stepped forward in front of everyone in the branch family and shouted, “Grand Elder, you must bring justice to Levi and the branch family! Levi just went to the main family to invite the young madam to visit the branch family but favonovel.com got his legs broken by Philip, the arrogant and rebellious boy. If the branch family is not given an explanation for this matter, I’m afraid it will be difficult to convince others.”
The grand elder coldly looked at Wade who stood out and said, “Stand down! I know what to do!”
Wade frowned, gritted his teeth, and stepped down. Then, the grand elder re-examined Philip. He raised his hand and an old man behind favonovel.com handed favonovel.com a black cane as thick as half an arm with both hands.
