At that moment, he seemed as if he had aged by ten years after the surprising event of his son’s death. He then set his eyes outside the window, his mind flooded with endless sorrows and worries. Did someone from the Nicholson Family dig up Xavier’s and his wife’s remains? Is the Nicholson Family’s descendant back for revenge? At the thought of that, Felix knitted his eyebrows and murmured to himself, “Wait a second. Was the Summers Residence’s destruction related to the Nicholson Family? Because
