Chapter 1016 Meeting Uncle
Everyone was taken aback when the question was asked.
Clearly, they had never considered this topic before.
Hearing this, Jara knitted his brows.
"In fact, according to what you said, I did doubt Coby's motives before. But after observing for so long, I did not see what was on his mind."
Emmeline also frowned.
"Speaking of which, it's not only one weird thing, but two. It's always made me feel uneasy."
"What is it?" Clarissa asked.
"Jara and I have seen Coby. He appears to be around thirty years old. Logically speaking, if he's really talented, he couldn't have remained unnoticed for so many years. On the other hand, he has complete control over the Marsh Family. Besides, Rowan is as meek as a servant even in front of him. This is really incredible!"
As soon as she finished her sentence, everyone was lost in thought.
That's right, who was Rowan?
The fact that he was able to take the position of a chief in such a fierce competition was evident that he was far from incompetent.
Even though he was nearly sixty years old and not an idiot, he was willing to give in to a young man in his thirties, even becoming his servant. Why was that so?
Everyone fell silent for a while.
In the end, Jameson spoke.
"Either Coby has something special and can convince Rowan to accept it, or he has a hold on Rowan."
However, Anderson dismissed this idea as soon as it was made.
"It's impossible. Rowan may appear to be feeble, but he isn't. The temptation of the Marsh Family's Chief position is so great. He won't possibly give it up unless there is just one possibility."
They all looked at him. "What is it?"
"He'll die if he doesn't listen to Coby."
Everyone was stunned.
Jara drew his brows together and added, "Is it because he has Way Tree in his hands? Aren't the Marsh family members going to die if they take that medicine? Is that why Rowan listened to him?"
Anderson shook his head.
"I'm not sure. The Marsh Family has developed for many years, and since it is their lifeblood, they can't possibly let another person control them."
Thinking of this, he pinched the space between his eyebrows.
"I'm afraid we'll have to look into this more. We must defeat him before it's too late. If we don't investigate Coby's background first, we'll be stuck in a passive position."
With a nod, Jara agreed with what Anderson said.
"In this case, I'll make the necessary arrangements. I'll let you guys know when the result is out."
They all nodded.
Later, they sat and chatted for quite a while. They didn't leave until they had finished their lunch.
Anderson and the rest naturally followed Lauren and Jameson back to the house.
Because the birthday celebration would begin at night, it was inconvenient for Emmeline and the others to go now, so they planned a trip for later.
At eight o'clock in the evening.
The birthday banquet went on without a hitch.
Since it was a formal banquet, Clarissa and Anderson had both dressed up for it. Even the two little kids had changed into lovely outfits.
Anne was dressed in her favorite dress, while Marf was dressed in a black tuxedo, which made him extra cuter.
The Ethanbez Family was one of the most prominent families in town; therefore, the banquet was highly lively.
Elicia sat there with a smile on her face, dressed in a maroon gown. She appeared to be in good spirits and extremely cheerful.
She greeted each person who had come to wish her one by one.
As her descendants, Jameson and Bowen naturally accompanied her to greet the guests.
On the other hand, Lauren didn't have to worry about the family, which gave her some free time to talk with Clarissa.
At about 8:30 p.m., almost all the guests had arrived.
Elicia could finally take a break. After all, she was old and couldn't stand for long.
As a result, Jameson stayed to deal with the guests while Bowen assisted Elicia in walking to the lounge.
Jameson searched through the crowd until he found Lauren and approached her.
At this time, Emmeline and Jara had also arrived.
Although they had little to do with the Ethanbez family, they were still considered upper-class. Elicia, of course, would not drive them out when they were already here.
Moreover, even though Elicia was no longer in charge of the Icarus Association, she was aware of the events earlier. Besides, Jameson seemed to be involved as well.
Since they were Jameson's friends, she had to treat him well.
Thus, Elicia extended a special greeting to Jara and Emmeline before leaving.
Of course, the two of them were also respectful. They then proceeded to a quiet corner with Jameson after seeing off Elicia.
"I've already spoken with Mr. Ramsey and told him to wait for us in the second-floor lounge. I'll take you guys there now,"
Jameson said.
Hearing this, Jara and Emmeline both nodded.
"Thank you."
Lauren answered with a smile, "It's no problem. It's only that I haven't yet informed him as to why you're looking for him. You can tell him later."
Emmeline nodded.
They made it all the way to the second floor, and Anderson and Clarissa followed.
Pushing the door open, they saw a middle-aged man in his fifties inside.
Mr. Ramsey was taken aback when he saw them come in; he probably didn't expect that many people to show up at once.
But after all, he was a well-known figure in the business world. He instantly regained his composure, straightened up, and smiled as he remarked, "You guys are here. Please have a seat."
For a brief while, his gaze swept over Jara and Anderson as he spoke.
Jara was a pretty low-key individual. Although he was in charge of a large number of assets, he rarely appeared in business circles.
However, Anderson was different.
He was the CEO of Jordan Group. Everyone knew him as long as they had a thorough understanding of the industry.
Hence, Mr. Ramsey's eyes glowed brightly as soon as he noticed Anderson.
"Are you Mr. Jordan? Nice to meet you."
As he spoke, he walked forward and shook hands with Anderson.
Anderson gave a faint smile. Jara, Emmeline, and Clarissa were also introduced to him by Jameson. Mr. Ramsey then greeted each of them warmly and was rather friendly.
After that, everyone sat down.
Mr. Ramsey drank his tea and spoke with a smile, "Jameson, you said you have something to discuss with me. What is it?"
In a deep voice, Jameson replied, "We do have something to tell you. I'm afraid we have to ask for your help in this matter. I'll let Jara tell you the details."
