Out of all the members of the Gordon family, Baxter and his two sons were the most restless.

“Who does Neera think she is? Why does she deserve to suddenly become the district president and
even secure a position as an elder in the guild? It’s absolutely ridiculous!”
“Dad, we need to come up with a plan quickly. Are we just going to stand by and watch her become
increasingly arrogant? She’s just an outsider. What right does she have to dominate us? If this
continues, she’ll have complete control over the Gordon family and can do whatever she wants!”
Baxter’s supporters also expressed their anger on his behalf..
Someone spoke up, “Exactly! You’ve worked tirelessly over the years and given your all to the Gordon
family. It wouldn’t be impossible for you to become the head of the family. Yet Chad handed such an
important position to an outsider, and a naive girl at that. The family has become a laughingstock!”
“That woman is gaining more and more power these days, and the situation is becoming increasingly
unfavorable for us. If we don’t do something soon, she’ll have full control over the Gordon family,” said
another.
“That’s right. This time, we must stop her no matter what. We can’t let her become an elder! If anyone
should take that position, it should be you, Mr. Baxter! She isn’t qualified yet!”
Those present started talking over each other in the living room, creating a chaotic atmosphere.
Baxter sat at the front of the room, pinching the bridge of his nose and looking grim. Annoyed by the
noise, he huffed impatiently. “Enough! Stop arguing! What’s the use of making such a fuss? Do you
think all this chatter can change reality? You’re all prominent and respected individuals, so why do you
get so agitated when something happens?”
One by one, the others fell silent at his reprimand.
After a brief pause, Baxter continued earnestly, “I understand your concerns. I really do. We all have
the best interests of the Gordon family at heart. None of us want to see the family become a
laughingstock, nor do we want to witness its decline. I get it. Don’t you think I feel the same? I haven’t
been able to sleep or eat these past few days. The thought of a young girl being in control of the family
is driving me crazy. However, even the vice president of the guild has spoken, declaring that they’re
going to create the position of a ninth elder for Neera. So, no matter how angry we are, it’s useless.”
Troy and Ollie exchanged glances, their brows furrowed.
“What do you mean by that, Dad? Are you just going to let this slide? This is the position of a guild
elder we’re talking about! It’s the highest honor. Are you really going to let her take it?”
“Moreover, we don’t know what the situation is like between her and Lordsworth Estate. What if her
loyalties shift? Wouldn’t that put our family in danger? It’s already risky to have someone like her as the
head of the family, so how can we let her have more power? After all, she represents the entire Gordon
family!”
“Do you think I don’t know that? But as I said before, does panicking help?” Baxter retorted, shooting
them a sidelong glance.
“Are we just going to stand by helplessly and do nothing, then?”
A solemn atmosphere filled the living room. Everyone looked upset, with resentment and jealousy
evident on their faces.
When Baxter finally spoke again after a long silence, his tone was meaningful and laced with a hint of
cold mockery. “Hah… If she thinks she can become a guild elder without any obstacles, she can dream
on! Don’t forget, it’s not just us but the other families as well who are closely watching. Many are
dissatisfied with her. When the time comes, we won’t need to intervene as there’ll be plenty of people
to stop her. We’ll just have to sit back and enjoy the show. And if the guild wavers in their decision, we’ll
speak up at the right time, ensuring that the position of the ninth elder remains firmly within the Gordon
family. Then, choosing the candidate will be an easy decision.”
At Lordsworth Estate, Tiago leisurely climbed the stairs with a cup of coffee in his hand and knocked on
the door to the study.
Jean’s cold voice came from inside the room. “Come in.”
Tiago pushed the door open but didn’t enter. With one hand casually tucked into his pants pocket and
the other holding a delicate coffee cup, he leaned lazily against the doorframe. “Still working? Tsk, tsk.
It seems like you’ve really recovered. You went to Mount Cloud with your fiancée and have been
working non-stop since you returned, yet you’re holding up well. It seems the treatment worked
wonders. I’ve been having stomach pains again recently. Maybe next time your precious fiancée could
take a look at me too?”
Jean glanced at him, his expression indifferent. “Instead of wasting time chatting, why don’t you do
some work? If you weren’t so unproductive every day, I wouldn’t have to work so hard. Also, aren’t the
doctors from the Medicinal family enough for you? You want my fiancée to step in? Not in a million
years.”
“You’re being a little too possessive, don’t you think? It’s just a consultation. Does it really warrant such
a reaction?” Tiago responded with a chuckle while shaking his head.
Jean couldn’t be bothered to respond and didn’t even lift his head as he signed his name at the bottom
of the document.
Accustomed to such behavior, Tiago straightened up and walked over. He sat down across from Jean
and casually crossed one leg over the other, exuding a relaxed and dignified air. “However, I’m quite
curious. With that intense possessiveness of yours, why would you send her into the enemy’s lair? I
noticed that Avery is quite affectionate toward her, always protecting her. As for others, they all desire
her. Aren’t you worried?”
Upon hearing this, Jean casually placed his pen on the table and crossed his arms in front of him. He
maintained his usual calm expression on his handsome and stern face, appearing as a man who had
complete control and was prepared for any situation. “Since I dared to push her to such heights,
naturally, I am confident that I can protect her well. As for Avery… Ha! He cannot take what is mine, nor
does he possess the ability to do so!”
Tiago took a sip of his coffee and then inquired, “However, you should be aware that for her to have
control over the five districts is both a blessing and a curse. Aren’t you afraid she won’t be able to
handle it?”
A faint smile appeared at the corners of Jean’s lips. “You underestimate her. Just because she does not
desire to fight or compete does not mean she lacks the capability to do so. Even though she is
currently unaware of the guild’s situation and unsure of where to begin, as long as she sets her mind to
it, there is nothing she cannot achieve. As for becoming the district president, only by assuming that
position can she avoid being underestimated. Even if some individuals are dissatisfied with her, they
will still fear the power she possesses.”
