But Russell was unwilling to let it go. He looked at Emerson and said, “Dad, are we just going to let the Evermore Group get away with this?”
“Of course not. The Evermore Group caused a great loss to our Palmer family. Just mind your own business for now. I’ll take care of the revenge. Emerson’s voice was gruff.
“Yes, Father.” Herbert and Russell got up from the ground and left the back garden.
As Emerson turned around slowly, his expression was cold, his eyes burning with rage.
“Cooper!” Emerson called out.
A figure immediately appeared in front of the pavilion.
It was Cooper, the Palmer family’s butler.
Solemnly, Cooper cupped his hands toward Emerson and asked, “Mr. Palmer, what can I do for you?”
“Cooper, kill Gilmore Reed now. Don’t make me wait!” Emerson clenched his fists and ordered in a low voice.
