Chapter 930 There Was Somone Else
Therefore, at this moment, when he saw Jara and Emmeline, he immediately walked over.
"Here you are."
Meanwhile, Jara's sharp gaze fell on the people in the hall, and he looked impassive.
In a low voice, Emmeline uttered. "We came as told. Now you should tell us the truth, just as you promised, right?"
Hearing that, Luca didn't beat around the bush.
So he directly took them to see Rowan.
In the past, Jara and Emmeline had only heard about Rowan and never seen him.
Today, when they saw him, they found out that he was just an ordinary old man.
With a smile, Rowan greeted. "Since you're here, come with me."
Again, the two of them were stunned.
Initially, as the Marsh family had spent a lot of effort to get Jara and Emmeline to come over, they thought that it was Rowan who wanted to see them.
However, judging from the current situation, it seemed that there was someone else behind this.
The two of them exchanged a glance in silence and then followed him into the room.
The banquet was held on an island. There was a quaint building on the island, and everyone was in it.
At the moment, they were in the banquet hall. Rowan led them all the way to the garden behind the building. They walked through the artificial hill and ponds. After walking for about ten minutes, they finally stopped at the entrance of a quiet and elegant courtyard.
Then, Rowan knocked on the door and said respectfully, "Sir, they're here."
Hearing that, Emmeline and Jara were both shocked. "Sir? Which gentleman was he referring to?"
Before she could figure it out, the door of the courtyard opened quietly, and a cold and elegant voice was heard.
"Come in."
Rowan stopped at the door and made way for them. Then, he pointed inside and said, "You may go in."
Again, Emmeline and Jara looked at each other and saw great shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
It was known to all that among the countless underground forces, the Marsh family had the longest history. To say that they were richer than the country was an understatement because It could be said that they were somewhat involved in almost half of the global economy.
He had thought that Rowan, the Chief, was already the biggest leader in the family. Now it seemed that there was someone else.
At the moment, Emmeline couldn't help but think of what Jara had told her not too long ago.
He had once said that he always felt that many of the Marsh family's recent tactics didn't conform to Rowan's usual style, and there could be someone else behind all these.
At that time, she just took him as a joke and brushed the idea off. Now it seemed that he could be right!
Both of them stepped inside in shock.
The courtyard was not big, but it was exquisite and elegant, which made it look like a paradise as soon as they entered.
The middle of the yard was decorated with the cobblestoned road. Both sides of the cobblestoned road were filled with all sorts of exotic flowers and herbs.
Seeing that, Emmeline vaguely recognized a few types of flowers. They were actually extinct species. Rumors had it that they had already disappeared many years ago, she never thought that she could see the flowers here!
This was much more shocking than seeing a mountain of gold or silver.
As they walked deeper inside uneasily, the door was in front of them was tightly closed. Hence, Jara glanced at her and reached out to open the door.
With a creak, the wooden door made a dull sound.
It could be seen that the person who lived here were not extravagant. After all, the environment here was very good, but it only had a simple decor and was not decorated with gold or jade.
As soon as the door was pushed open, they could see everything inside.
It was a very large room. Apart from the grey walls on both sides of the entrance, directly in front of the entrance was a floor-to-ceiling window.
The floor-to-ceiling window didn't have a modern design, instead, it was a traditional design. In front of the window, there was a long table with several grey futons next to it. A man, who seemed to be in his thirties, was sitting on the futon, brewing tea with his head down.
The man looked thin, and the clothes he wore were not the popular style that young men usually wear. Instead, he was wearing a quaint robe, just like the people from ancient times.
They had to admit that if they came here without a purpose, the view in front of them would be a painting-like scene.
Holding hands, Jara and Emmeline stepped in together.
Perhaps the man had heard the footsteps because he knew they had arrived even without looking up.
Then, he said lightly, "Since you're here, come, have a seat. I've just made some new tea. Do give it a try."
Upon hearing his words, the two of them approached. After exchanging a glance with each other, they then sat down.
After that, the man put two cups of tea in front of them.
Only then did Emmeline notice that the Chief's fingers were long and white, which were as clean as a pair of women's hands. He didn't look like someone who would cook.
She did not move the cup. At this moment, the man raised his head.
God, what kind of face was that?
To say that he was an elegant man was too modest. From the perspective of single facial features alone, they were all very ordinary. At most, he could be described as having a clean-cut appearance.
But when the facial features were put together, they looked so natural as if they were looking at the serenity of the mountains and rivers.
It could be said that he looked highly educated and not an ordinary person.
Suddenly, Emmeline's heart trembled. Somehow, she vaguely felt that this face of his was a little familiar as if she had seen it somewhere before.
She tried to recall the face in silence, but she couldn't remember it no matter how hard she tried.
In the meantime, the man was faintly smiling at them.
"You two must be confused now. In that case, I will not beat around the bush. Let me introduce myself. My name is Coby Marsh."
As he spoke, he raised the cup and took a sip of tea.
Hearing that, Emmeline and Jara knitted their brows at the same time. Turning around, they looked at each other, and both saw a trace of confusion in each other's eyes.
Coby? They've never heard of the name before!
However, since they were already there, the two of them didn't seem to be in a rush. They just sat there and waited calmly for him to speak.
Fortunately, Coby did not plan to hide around the bush. Hence, he went straight to the point and said, "You must be Emmeline, right?"
Emmeline nodded. In truth, from the bottom of her heart, she was still hostile to him.
After all, she didn't even know that she had the Marsh family's bloodline, but he knew about it and even sent her a few pills at her wedding party. It seemed that he had already known that she would suffer from the illness on that day.
It was obvious that he had planned this for a long time. Hence, she had to be more cautious when facing such a person.
However, when they were really here, they found that he looked so calm that they couldn't hate him at all.
Although she was not sure whether the calm vibe he gave off was true or fake, she had to admit it was hard for her to be cautious against him.
