Chapter 1401 - 1400: Charles Northwood, Resist!
"So, are you really sure you saw your mom?"Nia Mitchell shared her situation with Charles Northwood.
Hearing Charles’s question, Nia looked a bit confused.
"I don’t know if I can confirm it, after all, my impression of my mom is just vague, mostly from looking at photos, and those are from over ten years ago."
Nia couldn’t be a hundred percent sure.
"Are you sure that man was Leon Blackwood?"
"This, I can be sure of. I won’t mistake the photo, especially those eyes, they’re deeply imprinted in my mind. Maxwell Peary said that’s Leon Blackwood."
Nia spoke with certainty.
"Alright, since it’s Leon Blackwood, I’ll help you investigate as well, hopefully, I’ll be able to help you."
Hearing him say this, Nia nodded.
"Okay, thank you in advance."
After speaking, Nia’s face was full of smiles.
"You visited Tara Jameson’s home this time, how did it go?"
Have things been settled with Tara? So, you’ve met the parents?
"No."
Charles Northwood chuckled, things aren’t that fast.
Among the three of them, he’s the slowest to act.
"I’m handling the family’s matters first, only then do I have the right to talk about feelings."
This was Charles’s heartfelt expression, after all, the issue was too serious.
But there were gains this time, at least he met Tara’s parents, and at the very least, they weren’t against him.
......
After eating, Charles directly returned to the Northwood Family.
Northwood Family—
"Are you telling me now you refuse to be the leader of the Secret Division? Do you think this is child’s play?"
In the Northwood Family’s conference hall, everyone was seated, including Henry Northwood.
Knowing about this, Henry felt happy.
However, facing such strong opposition, he also worried a bit.
"Not every Hidden Aristocratic Family has a Secret Division, and our Northwood Family should reform a bit."
Charles spoke bluntly, disregarding everyone’s face after speaking.
"I’ve made my stance clear on this matter. I believe you wouldn’t give me a hard time because having someone whose heart is not with the Northwood Family become the head of the Secret Division would harm the Northwood Family without any benefit."
Every word from Charles touched a sore point, making everyone very angry.
What he said wasn’t wrong, but as someone from the Northwood Family, one should bear the family’s responsibilities.
Charles was the first to openly defy orders, making everyone in the Northwood Family quite vexed.
Facing him now, everyone seemed powerless.
"You will stay in the ancestral hall of the Northwood Family for now. Whenever you figure things out, then you can come out."
The patriarch of the Northwood Family angrily stood up, as if Charles was an extremely unfilial son.
"The Northwood Family has given me nothing. Why should I dedicate my life to its protection?"
Especially protection in the dark.
Before, he didn’t resist because he thought life would be the same without Tara Jameson.
Now he knows that Tara also has feelings for him.
How could he continue down this path?
"I agree with Charles Northwood, I also think we don’t need the Secret Division."
Henry Northwood suddenly stood up, openly defying the patriarch’s orders.
"Outrageous!"
The patriarch of the Northwood Family roared, ever since Charles returned, Henry had been acting strangely.
"You should know you’re the future patriarch of the Northwood Family. What nonsense are you saying?"
