Chapter 104 Condolences
Edward's hand fell completely from the air, and the world seemed to be completely quiet.
Evelin could only hear the sound of the electrocardiogram stopping, which was like a hissing sound.
"grandfather!"
Evelyn, who had been standing beside him without saying a word, fell to her knees in front of Edward's bed with a plop.
At this moment, her world completely collapsed.
Garland lowered his head and covered his eyes that were filled with tears, not daring to look at the scene at all.
In the end, Evelyn cried so hard that she was exhausted, and was carried out of the operating room by Garland.
As soon as he returned to Lanburg, the first thing he did was to block the news of Edward's death from the entire continent.
Then I contacted a lawyer to understand all the details about the inheritance and the Lan family.
Evelyn disappeared after leaving the hospital.
Garland was so busy that he just felt completely disappointed with Evelin and had no extra time to scold her.
Garland followed Edward's last wishes and held a simple funeral and completed the coronation ceremony and wedding as soon as possible.
No matter how simple the funeral was, according to common sense, there would be seven days of mourning after Edward's burial.
The relatives and descendants of the Lan family, as well as the branch families, said goodbye one by one.
On the third day, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the whole world seemed to be covered with a layer of gray.
From time to time, blue lightning flashed across the sky, and after a long time of brewing, there was no thunder or rain.
The entrance of Lanbao was still deserted, as lunch time had just passed.
The president of the Senate, accompanied by a group of prestigious elders, came to Lan Castle in a grand procession.
Garland stood up quickly, his brows furrowed as if blood was dripping from them.
His cold eyes were fixed on the people who came with ill intentions.
"Is the dean here to pay his respects to grandpa today?"
Seeing the dean walking into the hall as if no one was around, Garland couldn't help but warn him.
"Of course it is."
A gleam of light flashed in the dean's eyes, and he no longer needed to hide his inner feelings.
His determined attitude forced Garland to devote himself to the game with him.
"Friends and elders will pay their respects the day after tomorrow. Today is just for the family members."
"Please ask the dean to come back another day."
Garland sat on the sofa nearby, crossing his legs.
No matter how depressed and sad he was these days, in front of outsiders.
He always looks like a superior, cold overlord.
Edward values the Lan family's reputation and prestige the most, and Garland naturally keeps it in mind.
"Lan Dian, I respect your grandfather, so I respectfully address you as Your Highness."
"As an elder, I will just say some things directly."
"Now, it is you who insists on marrying a foreigner, let alone a human."
"If the Lan family is handed over to you, how will you convince the people in the future?"
How can the senior members of our Senate gain a foothold in the blood race?''
The dean walked straight forward and sat in the main seat, looking as if he was determined to win.
Although he claimed to respect Edward, he rushed to fight for power before Edward's body was cold.
Seeing that no one responded, the dean immediately turned cold and looked around. The elders who came with him looked at each other again and again, but still spoke one after another.
They are still very afraid and wary of Garland's methods.
Due to the tyranny and inducement of the President of the Senate, he finally decided to take the risk and seek the skin of the tiger.
"It's simply a sin. Not only did he marry a human, but he was also from a hunter family!"
Everyone echoed the dean, as if in their eyes.
Now that the Lan family has fallen, the dean is the one they should cling to.
"You bastards, did the Lan family raise you just to let you bite back?!"
Without waiting for Garland to respond, Yuri couldn't help but curse first.
He was extremely furious, his chest was beating violently and violently, and even his whole body was filled with murderous aura.
"At the beginning, it was you, the dean, who forced me to marry Huo Wanqing. It's only been a few days. The dean is a noble man who forgets things easily, right?"
Compared to the impatient Yuri, Garland seemed much more calm and at ease.
Although he was also severely attacked by the Senate, he still maintained the attitude of a superior.
"Lan Dian, in front of so many high-ranking officials."
"Don't accuse me of anything. We have never had such an easy experience before."
The dean did not reveal any flaws and took a sip of tea calmly.
Apart from him and Garland, Edward was the only one present.
But as it happened, Edward died just like that.
Ever since he added fuel to the fire in front of Edward last time, Edward suddenly fell ill and was admitted to the emergency room.
It wasn't long before an informant brought news that Edward was in a life-and-death situation.
Garland and Huo Wanqing were forced to get a marriage certificate, but they just didn't have time to hold a wedding banquet.
Isn't this God's help for him to seize the position of Lan family? !
Besides, just based on Garland's words, he has absolute confidence.
No matter what he did, he couldn't convince the people who had already been bought by him.
"It's okay if you don't admit it."
"I do have a question."
Who could have expected that Garland would not care at all when seeing this.
He simply signaled Yuri with his eyes, and Yuri left immediately after receiving the instructions.
"You said."
The dean followed Yuri with his eyes and nodded.
He wanted to see what kind of trouble he, the prince, could stir up without Edward's protection.
"Everyone in the Senate, I will make things clear with you today."
"Is the reason why I don't have the right to inherit the Lan family just because I married into a foreign clan?"
Garland still did not stand up. Even though he was sitting on the side and looking around, his innate kingly bearing made everyone admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
The moment he finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other in surprise.
In the end, no one responded, and everyone turned their eyes to the dean sitting in the main seat.
"good."
The dean narrowed his eyes and nodded with satisfaction, his sharp eyes moving between Garland's eyebrows.
He had been thinking about such a status and such attention for countless days and nights.
"That's easy to say."
Suddenly, Garland's mouth cracked into a strange smile.
There was almost no warmth in his eyebrows, but the corners of his mouth were curved very brightly.
The smile doesn't reach the eyes, but indifference is within reach.
Garland almost never smiles, let alone in front of outsiders.
Seeing Garland with this expression for the first time, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
My hair stood up for no reason and I felt unwell all over.
"Lan Dian, even if you divorce now, you can't inherit the Lan family."
The dean had long seen through Garland's thoughts, and he was certain that Garland was going to take advantage of this loophole.
Before Garland could finish his words, he was hit on the head.
Garland's expression did not change as he expected, and his expression was even more beyond the dean's expectations.
At this time, Yuri appeared again and respectfully presented the documents sealed in a brown paper bag to Garland.
