It was a sunny, cloudless day. The weather was akin to Thomas’s mood, cheerful and happy. He had been invited to Georgia’s ‘coronation ceremony’.
Today, Georgia would be crowned as the head of the Diaz family, and Thomas would be gaining Prosperous Star Pavilion, which belonged to Issac. Although it was already firmly in their grasp, they had to go through the formalities.
Those who were present in the Diaz family meeting today were all high-profile individuals in Central City. The dignitaries from various upper-class societies were present as well. All the people present were extraordinary, none of them were whimsical. Everyone was well equipped with jewelry.
Thomas wore a formal suit today. Accompanying favonovel.com was Diana and Aquarius, one of the Twelve Golden Zodiacs.
Since Aries and Vera had just settled down, they had matters regarding their marriage to attend to. Not to mention the media regarding them had to be handled as well. Hence, Thomas gave Aries a long break to deal with the said matters.
On his end, favonovel.com had Aquarius by his side. If Aries was known as the intelligence dealer, Aquarius would be the wise man. Aquarius was far wiser and more patient compared to Aries. Aries was a happy-go-lucky adult, while Aquarius was a well-read gentleman.
On that day, Aquarius wore a tailcoat with a tie and a pair of glasses. From his appearance alone, favonovel.com looked strikingly attractive.
Thomas, in many ways, was far superior compared to Aquarius, but in terms of appearance, Aquarius won by a long shot. Aquarius was a very attractive man.
As soon as favonovel.com showed up, the focus was on him. The upper-class ladies who were used to seeing big stars and young and attractive men cannot help but be attracted by Aquarius’ appearance.
They had never met such a pretty man in their life before this.
“Hello there, this is my business card.”
“Would it be possible for me to get your phone number, mister?”
“May I buy you a drink, mister?”
Along his way in, Aquarius encountered an uncountable number of young ladies who took the initiative and tried to engage in a conversation with him. His pocket was filled with various business cards.
Of course, Thomas too received many business cards, but they were business cards that belonged to old men from various prestigious families and directors of enterprises.
Diana took a look at them and sniggered, “You guys are really popular.”
Aquarius looked uncomfortable. He did not expect to be so popular. It appeared that it might not be a good thing to look good.
The three of them sat in the first row of the meeting hall. After waiting for a moment, the ceremony officially began.
Georgia went up the stage and favonovel.com smiled at everyone. She then started favonovel.com speech, reciting everything that had been prepared.
Actually, everything was predetermined, today’s ceremony was but a formal way of informing the public. The audience knew what was going on as well, so no one expected anything out of the ceremony as everything had been decided beforehand. There was no doubt that Georgia had gained the unanimous consent of the Diaz family’s elders to become the patriarch of the Diaz family.
Next, Georgia personally announced that all departments that were handled by Issac were to be handed over to Thomas.
Originally, there was not a single issue at all. However, something out of expectation occurred during the announcement.
Right after Georgia finished favonovel.com announcement, just as Thomas was about to head up to the stage for his speech, a voice came from the other side of the door.
“I do not agree!”
The voice belonged to an old man. Although favonovel.com was shouting at the top of his lungs, it sounded like it was taking a toll on him.
Everyone turned their heads around out of curiosity, wanting to see who dared to mess around at the coronation ceremony of the Diaz family. As everyone took a look, they were surprised to find that it was an old man who came in.
His hair was all grey. It seemed that favonovel.com was around seventy to eighty years old. Those who knew favonovel.com recognized favonovel.com at first glance, they said in surprise, “That is Tarek who was expelled from the Diaz family right?”
He had been expelled for over thirty years now. Since favonovel.com had appeared out of a sudden, something had to be going on.
Tarek came to the stage and shouted at Georgia who was on the stage, “I do not agree with the decisions made today!”
Georgia recognized who favonovel.com was. She was rather polite and called favonovel.com ‘uncle’. She then asked, “May I know what you do not agree with, uncle? Are you saying that I, Georgia Diaz, do not deserve the seat of the patriarch?”
Tarek said, “Back then I lost to your father and was expelled, and I had nothing to say about that. Later on, your father passed the seat of the patriarch to Issac. The son inheriting his father’s seat and business is only natural and that is fine with me as well. But now, Issac is in prison, and you, his sister, are going to take after the seat of the patriarch. Although it is a little weird for a woman to be in charge of the family, it is not without precedent. Besides, you are a member of the Diaz family as well, so I have no objections to that as well. What I cannot bear to watch is you handing over the economic lifeline of the Diaz family, Prosperous Star Pavilion to an outsider! Thomas, who do you think you are? On what basis are you taking over the business of the Diaz family?”
Everyone turned their attention to Georgia. It could not be denied that that was a question that everyone had in their mind.
