Avery sneered, “The Cox family is a powerful ally to the guild. Matthew is too shrewd to let the Cox family fall. He just wants to use the Cox family as a spear, with me leading the charge. Besides, for such a big matter, he knows the Cox family will definitely seek help.”

Speaking of assistance, everyone naturally thought of the Gordon family.

Ronald slapped his thigh. “Right! We can ask the Gordon family for help! The Gordon family and the Cox family have always had a good relationship, and there’s even a marriage agreement between us. They surely won’t stand by and do nothing.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Albert Cox, the third elder, scoffed, “You may still have hopes for the Gordon family, but I fear they’ve long since distanced themselves from the Cox family, showing no interest in any interaction, let alone offering assistance!”

Ronald was puzzled. “What do you mean by this?”

Ronald’s eyebrows furrowed.

The Cox family had been closely monitoring Neera’s actions for the past few days.

Many people were quite dissatisfied with Neera’s behavior.
