Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: The Strict Rules of the Drew Family

Uncle Drew glanced at Boyd, then continued, "Caleb, it’s your first time coming to the Drew family for the ancestor grave visiting, and you don’t know the rules yet. The family head is still in a coma, so you can’t enter the family genealogy yet. To the ancestors, you’re not one of the Drew family."

He sneered, his tone contemptuous, "Since you’re not a member of the Drew family, how can you participate in the grave visit? Caleb, we can’t break the rules of the Drew family!"

There was silence all around. He had said so much nonsense, for only one purpose - to prevent Caleb from participating in the ancestor grave visiting. Although Caleb’s identity had been confirmed, without the family head, he can’t enter the family genealogy and thus, has no qualification to participate in the grave visit.

At this time, low murmurs of discussion came from the crowd: "Being kicked out of the Drew family during the ancestor grave visiting ceremony...Tsk tsk...How embarrassing! In the end, it’s his fault. If he hadn’t angered the family head to illness, he would have been able to participate in the grave visit smoothly."

"Winni Drew’s name tablet is also placed in the cemetery. Caleb can’t even worship his own mother now. It can only be said that he brought this upon himself."

"The Drew family is an aristocratic family with strict rules, especially concerning ancestor grave visiting. Absolutely no negligence is allowed. Caleb, just because you have power and influence doesn’t mean we can make an exception for you. Please leave!"

Caleb’s expression was indifferent, and he didn’t respond. But Xaviera couldn’t help but speak up, "So, you mean that Sir Drew is in a coma, and Caleb can’t participate in the ancestor grave visit, not even to worship his biological mother?"

Uncle Drew listened to Xaviera’s question and confidently answered, "That’s right!"

Everyone thought that Xaviera had compromised, but the next second, her voice was icy cold as she questioned, word by word, "If Sir Drew hadn’t been in a coma, then Caleb would have been able to participate in the ancestor grave visit, right?"

The whole place was in an uproar.

If Sir Drew was truly not in a coma, then logically, they would have no reason to refuse Caleb’s participation in the grave visit.

Uncle Drew’s face darkened, and he looked at Boyd again. He saw a hint of ruthlessness and unease in Boyd’s eyes. What was Xaviera talking about?

Before Boyd could speak, Vivian Drew rebutted guiltily, "Xaviera, what nonsense are you spouting? My father has been in a coma for so many days, and you still..."

"Miss Wendy Drew." Xaviera interrupted her softly, the corner of her mouth slightly raised, and said lightly, "I’m just raising a reasonable doubt, why are you so agitated? It seems like you don’t want Sir Drew to wake up."

Xaviera’s voice was gentle, yet seductive, "Could it be that you don’t want Sir Drew to wake up? In this way, you would have a reason to refuse Caleb’s participation in the grave visit. After all, his name isn’t in the genealogy, so Caleb wouldn’t be eligible to compete with Boyd for the heir position."

"Sir Drew being in a coma is beneficial to you, so you want him to remain in a coma, at least not waking up today, right?"

Boom——!!

The whole place was silent, as everyone felt like they were struck by lightning, and they subconsciously glanced at Boyd.

The truth was that most of the Drew family supported Boyd because, with Boyd around, they could have a foothold in the family. They were clear about Boyd’s intentions, so they didn’t want Caleb to participate in the grave visit.

As for the others who weren’t close to Boyd and didn’t take part in the Drew family’s power struggles, it didn’t matter to them who became the heir. They held a neutral stance, but now, after hearing Mrs. Mamet’s words, they couldn’t help but be alarmed. From what she said, the person who didn’t want Sir Drew to wake up was clearly Boyd!

Boyd clenched his fists, his lips turning pale, but his expression was still gentle, with a smile at the corner of his mouth. He shook his head helplessly, "Mrs. Mamet’s analysis is very reasonable. However, my grandfather is indeed in a coma. The Drew family’s doctor and the Medical Association’s doctor have diagnosed him, and both are at their wit’s end. It’s not my fault that my grandfather is in a coma."

"Mrs. Mamet can misunderstand me and say that I have impure intentions, but I hope that you can respect my grandfather. He is still in a coma, and his life and death are uncertain. Is it appropriate for you to slander an elder like this?"

As soon as his words fell, Xaviera gave a cold snort, "Mr. Drew is quite filial! But what I just said was a reasonable analysis, and I never said that Mr. Drew was the one who harmed Sir Drew. You’re so eager to explain, it makes people feel like you have something to hide!"

Boyd’s expression instantly froze. He calmly controlled his emotions, but Vivian next to him suddenly burst out, "Xaviera! Shut up! Boyd has grown up by Sir Drew’s side since he was a child. There is no way he would harm my father! You have been talking for so long, are you just trying to exonerate Caleb and let him participate in the ancestor grave visit? Let me be clear, if my father doesn’t wake up, don’t even think about it!"
