Just from that fact, it was unnecessary to guess why the South Sea Crow returned.
"Oh, by the way…"
Jan did not afford Glen time to think, however, flashing a gentle smile as he said, "Mr. Turnbull, I heard you've been exhausted in integrating the Turnbull branch families back to the main family, and your health has been affected.
"Rob had been telling me that for a while, so I was thinking—why don't you take this opportunity to step down? Let Rob here take over as head of the Turnbull family while you enjoy the easy life of retirement."
"How dare you!"
Vicky snapped right then, having had enough just as Jan finished, clenching her knuckles. "This is our family matter, and not up to the Lionhearts to meddle! You leave Turnbull Estate right now!"
"Shut up!"
Rob sprang to his feet right then, glaring at Vicky as he bellowed, "Jan is a brother to me! And as the next head of the Turnbull family, he naturally has the right to speak! You, on the other hand, are a woman who behaves so insolently—how dare you snap at my brother!"
Gesturing at his men, he barked, "Go! Give her twenty slaps for her impudence!"
"Yes, sir!" the soldiers replied.
Seeing that the soldiers were ready to hurt Vicky, Glen strode up, glaring at Rob even as he shook with rage. "Vicky is your cousin! Are you hurting your own family for a Lionheart?!"
"Well said, well said… Blargh!"
Glen was left seething and suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood, and his breath weakened right then.
He was clearly given a heart attack by his own son, and Vicky hurried up to catch him while leveling Rob a furious glare. "Are you crazy, Rob Turnbull?! Are you so bent on betraying us for the Lionhearts?!"
There was no hint of remorse on Rob's face, however, as he spoke quietly. "Like my brother Jan said, you and your manwhore are the cause of all our family problems! That's why I've come back to rid both of you and bring the family back on the right track so that we're friends with the Lionhearts forever! My dad will eventually understand that!"
There was really no saving that man.
