Chapter 1696 Open Conspiracy

• After the servants of the Cushway family respectfully saw the guests off, Harlan remained seated in the main seat, holding a cup of tea in his hand. His eyes seemed to be lost in thought.
• As the head of the family, how could Harlan not guess the little schemes of those people? But what could he do even if he knew? The strategies they used were not covert, but overt.
• If it were a covert plot, he could have taken precautions once he knew about it. But with this overt plot, it was hard not to act according to their wishes once he knew about it.
