Derrick could no longer pretend not to know Victor now that favonovel.com had directly called favonovel.com out.
Therefore, favonovel.com forced himself to walk over and squeezed out the words. “Victor, you’re back!”
There was no cupping of hands and not even the slightest modesty was shown on his face as favonovel.com stood up straight during the entire time favonovel.com spoke to Victor. He felt that favonovel.com should maintain a dignified attitude as the Old Master Albright of the Albrights.
Sparing a glance at him, Victor snickered, “Derrick, I see you’ve gotten some nerves now that you’re the Old Master Albright of our family, huh? You actually dare talk to me with such an attitude?”
When Derrick heard that, his face flushed in embarrassment. Even so, favonovel.com stalked his neck and retorted, “Victor, deep down, you’re always my eldest brother. I respect you, but the problem is that I’m now the Old Master Albright. I represent the entire family. I can’t bow regardless of when, because if I do, the entire Albrights will have to bow. I think we all don’t want to witness such a scene, am I right?”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com looked at the rest of the members of the Albrights present. However, no one responded to his words now.
No doubt, Derrick was indeed the current Old Master Albright. Still, the problem lay in that his influence was completely lacking in front of Victor, for Victor was the one who really won the hearts of the Albrights’ family members.
This situation made Derrick look even more embarrassed.
‘Won’t l become a laughing stock seeing that no one‘s supporting me? Ahhh!’
Victor glanced at him. “Derrick, so it turns out that you’ve been promoted as the new Old Master Albright, yet… Why haven’t I heard anyone mentioning that the Old Master Albright should represent the entire Albrights?”
“Based on what you’ve said, I believe I have to give you a bow when I see you. Gael, come and help me down. I need to bow to Old Master Albright!”
As Victor spoke, favonovel.com pressed against the wheelchair hard and supported himself to get up.
Seeing this, Gael Albright, Victor‘s sibling, hurried over to support him. “Victor, how can you bow to him?”
While speaking, favonovel.com then looked at Derrick again and reprimanded angrily, “What are you doing, Derrick? We’re fine with you putting on your so-called high and mighty Old Master Albright’s attitude, but how can you have the same attitude in front of Victor?”
“Have you forgotten that it was Victor who single-handedly risked his life to save you when you were taken away by those enemies? He almost lost his life to save you! Is this how you’re going to repay him?”
At once, everyone around looked at Derrick with an utterly angered expression. In their perspective, Derrick was being a complete ungrateful jerk at this moment.
Derrick uttered through gritted teeth as his face reddened in anger, “Shut up! Do you think you‘re qualified to voice your opinion? Who’s the Old Master Albright? Me or you? What rights do you have to judge me?”
Gael instantly became tongue-tied. “You… You…”
Ignoring Gael, Derrick stared straight at Victor and continued, “Victor, I’ll keep your kindness to me in my heart, but there are simply rules that need to be followed In the Albrights. I’m the one who calls the shots in the Albrights now, so I hope you’ll give me enough respect.”
In response, Victor nodded knowingly. “You’re right. I really should pay enough respect to the leader of the Albrights, but the question now is, who’s the leader of the Albrights?”
“Because if I remember correctly, I still held the position as Old Master Albright before I left. Why did you become Old Master Albright after I was gone for a few years? Have you asked my opinion on this matter?”
Panic crept in as Derrick retorted anxiously, “You were gone for more than ten years. Someone must call the shots in the Albrights. So together, everyone elected me to be in charge of the Albrights. Are you trying to deny everyone’s choice?”
With that, Victor smiled before replying, “I certainly won’t deny everyone’s choice, but the problem is, l’m back now. So, don’t you also need to respect everyone’s choice and see who they wish to elect to take charge of the Albrights?”
