Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: The Blood and Flesh of the Ross Family
"At the last family banquet, everyone was present, so you should all be clear about what happened," Jack Thompson coughed and his gaze swept over Adam Ross’s face before he spoke solemnly.
"Those two children are indeed the flesh and blood of our Ross Family."
With these words, there was an uproar among those present.
"Quiet!" Mr. Ross banged his cane to silence everyone.
"Grandfather..." Ray Ross started dryly, only to be met with Mr. Ross’s reprimand.
"Shut your mouth!"
Mr. Ross glared at Ray Ross, "If you hadn’t mishandled things, how could anyone have dared to cause trouble at our Ross Family’s banquet, you’ve utterly disgraced us."
"Mr. Ross, what exactly happened here? Weren’t the Howard Family and the Thompson Family always insisting that the children were theirs?" someone asked, unable to contain their puzzlement.
"Due to some accidents, the children’s biological mother lost contact with our Ross Family, along with the two children. Fortunately, they were adopted by the Thompson Family; only recently was it confirmed that the two children belong to our Ross Family."
The grandfather articulated each word slowly and clearly as all those present listened and couldn’t help but start whispering amongst themselves.
"Grandfather, but that woman insisted it was the Thompson Family who stole her children," Oliver Ross chimed in at this moment.
"Because, she was manipulated by someone," Mr. Ross stated emphatically.
Upon hearing this, Oliver Ross’s eyes dodged immediately.
While Mr. Ross was speaking, his gaze swept across the faces of everyone present, searching their expressions for clues.
"She now has her own husband, but she has been duped and used by someone with ulterior motives, coveting the Ross Family’s wealth and causing such trouble. I had already had the woman taken into custody, only to find out she had secretly run away," recounted Mr. Ross.
"What! She ran away secretly?" Adam Ross couldn’t help exclaiming in shock when he heard this.
That drew everyone’s gaze, making Adam Ross immediately shut his mouth.
Adam Ross bowed his head, not letting anyone see the slight smirk creeping at the corner of his mouth.
"Has she been found? Where did she go?"
"She didn’t reveal who was behind this, only asking me to find her husband. Unexpectedly, I actually found him, but as soon as I told her, she just slipped away," Mr. Ross explained.
Adam Ross, struggling to contain his smile, finally looked up and said, "Grandfather, she must have gone to find her husband by now. We’ll send people immediately; we’re sure to catch her."
Mr. Ross nodded, and then addressed everyone, "As soon as we bring that woman back, I will have Adam Ross marry her, and we will record Jack Thompson and Chad Thompson into our Ross Family’s genealogy. But those two children are too young to take over the family business directly, so I will choose one of you to assist my two grandsons."
If the first part of the old man’s speech made everyone feel that danger was lurking, the latter half stirred excitement once again.
The words "inherit the family business" echoed in their ears.
On the surface, it was about assistance, but in reality, wouldn’t it mean having control of the Ross Family’s wealth in their own hands?
And when the time came, even if there were true heirs, what of it?
Wouldn’t it still be an easy matter to get rid of two children?
Consequently, the eyes of everyone grew lively with anticipation.
