A fire destroyed a family.

Since that night, with the fall of the McConaughey family, the Francis family has begun to erode at a terrifying speed like a flood breaking through a dam, and it has continued to receive the property left by the McConaughey family, dividing and transforming it into nutrients to feed itself, and gradually has the momentum to become the first family of Memphis.

Unfortunately, such a rapid development momentum was ended by two life-threatening bullets.

Logan Francis lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, the dim porcelain tiles reflected the bright firelight, reflected in the depths of the eyes, reflecting the unwillingness and depression towards the end of life.

"Uncle!"

Grace strolled over to the bedside and called softly,

"Grace, you're here!"

Logan Francis turned his head with difficulty, a smile on his face.

Well!

Grace answered, taking the cushion around his neck so that he could speak comfortably.

"What about your mother?"

"She's out there dealing with guests!"

Grace sat in a chair, her head bowed, her hands constantly tearing her skirt, her eyes flickering, and she looked very struggling.

"Say whatever you want, I'm your family, what can't I say to my family." Logan coughed,

"Uncle, can you cancel tonight's banquet?" Grace clenched her fists and said vigorously,

"Why cancel?" Logan asked rhetorically,

Grace didn't answer, and looked at the pale and tired face, and her eyes grew red.

"Hey! What a kind child. ”

Logan propped himself up with his hands, his head resting on the bed, and a heart-wrenching smile on his face,

"You don't want to get married?"

"Hmm!"

Grace nodded vigorously.

"Girls always have to get married, even if you don't marry now, you will have to marry in the future, and ......" Logan sighed, reaching out and pressing the injured abdomen,

"I don't have much time, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that time."

"Uncle, don't be so pessimistic, Dr. Carrot said, the place where you are injured is not a critical part, just rest for a while, it's okay."

Logan smiled and reached out to pat her arm, "Silly boy, I asked him to say these things to outsiders, and the real condition is only known to me, him, and your mother." ”

"Uncle, your body ......" Grace's expression was flustered, and she suddenly felt like the sky was falling,

"I hurt my kidneys, and I'm hopeless."

Logan closed her eyes, not letting her see the unwillingness and hideousness that appeared in the depths of her eyes.

Grace froze suddenly, her pupils dilated, her head went blank for a moment, and she felt that everything was leaving her, and this situation lasted for more than ten seconds before she came back to her senses, and an indescribable grief welled up from her heart, she covered her eyes with her hands, squatted on the edge of the bed, and cried whimpering,

"Alright, kid, stop crying, I'm not dead yet?" Logan stroked her hair,

"Uncle, is that why you're holding this banquet tonight?" Grace looked up and asked with teary eyes,

"I'm going to find you a target that can block bullets."

"I don't want targets, let those bastards come, I'm not afraid of them!"

"Stupid!" Logan raised his hand and tapped her on the head, scolding, "You are the last heir of the Francis family, your life is much more expensive than theirs, how can you take such a risk." ”

"Let the group of ambitious young people outside do this kind of thing! As for you, protecting yourself is the most important thing. ”

"But ......"

Despite understanding her uncle's plans, Grace was reluctant, he was the same age as a flower, and he imagined the pure love of Prince Charming and the fairytale princess, not this vulgar tale of trading marriage.

She couldn't bear it, and she didn't want her future husband to get it in this way.

"Uncle, can you change the way, for example, we can mobilize the power of the family to arrest all the remnants of the McConaughey family who want revenge, so that it will be fine." Grace said eagerly,

Logan shook his head silently, his deep gaze so deep that Grace didn't dare to look up,

"Grace, you should understand, the enemy of the family is not only McConaughey, if I leave, the Francis family will be left with only your mother and daughter, how can you two support this huge family business,

Your father's apple estate is fine, it's just a plantation, and the Nance Chamber of Commerce is different, and those strong members of the Chamber of Commerce won't agree with a ......" At this point, he suddenly stopped and didn't say any more.

"Wouldn't identify with a woman as their manager." Grace raised her head, her eyes filled with anger, "Uncle, do you want to say this?" ”

Logan shook his head with a smile and said, "Men and women don't matter, what matters: you are my family, and I will never let my family be harmed." ”

Hearing the last sentence, the anger in Grace's eyes was like a bonfire that had just been lit and hit a downpour was instantly extinguished, she lowered her head, tears fell down, her complicated mood couldn't be said, she wanted to be willful but couldn't bear it, and in the end, there was only the word "compromise" left in her empty mind.

"Uncle, I promise you that I will pick a suitable one."

With that, Grace wiped away her tears, got up and walked out.

"Don't look for the right one, pick out what you like, if you don't like it, close your eyes, point to one at random, trust your uncle, he will never let the second half of his niece's life be spent in pain and quarrels."

Hearing this, Grace's mood became more and more complicated, she bowed slightly, trotted all the way to the second floor, and when she returned to her room, she got into the quilt and cried aggrievedly.

"Grace, who provoked you, why are you crying so sadly."

The immature but familiar words came from behind, Grace's body shook, and she quickly raised her head, and when she saw the pale boy at the door, her eyes were dark gold, her pupils constricted, and she was so shocked that she could barely speak,

"Danny, you... You... How did you get in here. ”

"You don't have to ask about that."

"You... You..."

Grace opened her mouth, her head was blank, and she couldn't open her mouth for a while, it was unbelievable that vampires could enter the human dwelling without the invitation of the master, and there was a banquet tonight, if their ferocity broke out......

As if guessing what the other party was thinking, the boy standing at the door sighed and explained,

"Don't worry, there will be only a banquet tonight, and there will be no bloodshed, I can assure you of that."

"May I come in?"

"When... Of course, this is your bedroom. ”

Grace lowered her head, unable to hide the panic in her eyes.

The boy stepped over the threshold, his dark golden eyes looking around carefully, his eyes full of remembrance, dazedness, and an indescribable pain.

Mayor Logan ...... He... The body is fine! ”

Grace shook her head, "The bullet hurt the kidney, and I can't save it." As he spoke, sorrow rose from his heart, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Hearing this, the boy was stunned, his body trembled slightly, and he stood in place and did not speak for a long time.

"You should go and see him, my uncle will be very happy to see you."

The boy shook his head with a wry smile, let out a long sigh, turned and walked out, and when he reached the door, he stopped and said in a low voice,

"In the future, the Francis family will be handed over to you, if you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, write a note and put it under the boulder on the east side of the old street, I can't help you in business, outside of business, I can help you some."

"Take care, I'm leaving."
