She put on a weird smile.
“I think you are too old, Grandfather. Although you still have a very keen mind, it is very difficult for your body to keep up. Moreover, your ideas have been falling behind with time now. The decline of the Hill family is the best proof. I personally think that it’s better for you to retire and focus on maintaining your health. Let the new generation take over, that would be the smartest and most beneficial move for our Hill family.”
That remark shocked everyone!
Everyone present was stunned beyond words. Even the slovenly Johnson Hill grew nervous.
Johnson had said favonovel.com wanted to be the patriarch as a joke. But it was not the same for Jade Hill. She was not joking at all, favonovel.com was serious!
Richard Hill smiled. “I thought you’re part of my team, Jade? Why are you pulling the rug under my feet?”
Jade smiled. “Grandpa, I am not standing on anyone’s side here nor am I betraying you here. I am just focusing on the present and the future of the Hill family.”
What favonovel.com said was indeed dignified.
Richard’s face turned pale. He did not expect that Jade Hill, who favonovel.com deemed as his personal assistant would one day talk to favonovel.com in such a tone out of the blue.
Was favonovel.com rebelling against him?!
“What you said does make sense, Jade. I want to know if you have any candidate suggestions for my seat?” Richard stared at Harvard Hill as favonovel.com spoke.
From what Richard can see, Harvard must have colluded with Jade earlier to take over his seat as the patriarch. However, Harvard looked confused as well. He shook his head vigorously.
“Grandfather, this has nothing to do with me.”
Richard snorted coldly and looked at Jade Hill again. ‘If it was not Harvard, who else could it be?’
Unless it was Jade who wanted the seat as the patriarch?
It was impossible, Jade Hill as a female will not be accepted by the Hill family as the patriarch. The only males among the younger generation were… Thomas Mayo?
Harvard shook his head. That was absolutely impossible. Thomas was an outsider and was not on good terms with Jade. For favonovel.com to be recommended by Jade to succeed the seat of the patriarch was out of the picture.
Who else could it be?
Richard stared at Jade, awaiting favonovel.com to finish.
Jade smiled wickedly and slowly averted favonovel.com gaze to the entrance of the conference room right in front of everyone. She was filled with excitement.
“Brother, the stage is yours.”
‘Brother?’
‘Jade’s elder brother?’
Richard’s expression became frightened very quickly. Needless to say, favonovel.com understood what Jade was aiming for and who favonovel.com wanted to recommend for the seat.
As the conference room’s door swung open, everyone focused on the entrance too. A gloomy man suited up with a tuxedo and leather shoes walked in. The Hill family members were surprised beyond words. Even Richard was so shocked, favonovel.com stood up at the spur of the moment.
He was back?!
The man who gave Richard endless nightmares was back
“Lucas?!”
“That’s right Grandfather, I am back…”
Lucas Hill stood proudly in front of everyone, staring coldly at Richard Hill and the rest of the world.
