Upon returning home, both Chad and Adriana were present. Jean was helping the three little ones
practice their writing, and Shane happened to come downstairs.
When she entered, everyone turned to look at her.
“How did it go? Did the guild give you any trouble?” Shane was the first to ask.
Neera nodded and walked over to sit down. Finally able to relax, she let out a deep sigh of relief. “I
knew the guild wouldn’t let me join the Council of Elders so easily. What I didn’t expect was that they
would even coyet the position of district president.”
Chad furrowed his brow upon hearing that. “What do you mean? Are they trying to seize control of the
district leadership?”
“Well, Mr. Lozano didn’t say anything, but the elders were all riled up. They think the Gordon family
doesn’t deserve to be a district president, let alone join the Council of Elders. They don’t want me to
join them, and they want me to obediently hand over control as the district president. They even
mentioned something about compensating the Gordon family. Their behavior was extremely unseemly
and unheard of.”
Shane scoffed, “As expected, this is what they’re trying to do. They don’t have the ability to seize the
white flag themselves, but they sure know how to use the Gordon family as their scapegoat,”
Adriana was deeply worried. “So what was the outcome? They didn’t do anything to you, did they?”
Neera smiled reassuringly, comforting her. “Aunt Adriana, don’t worry. I’m doing just fine. After all, I am
the head of the Gordon family, not someone who can be easily bullied. Even if they don’t respect the
Gordon family, they still have to respect the lord. Although I don’t know who exactly the lord is, I did
save his life. They probably didn’t push too hard because of this. Besides, the guild has to show Mr.
Cox some respect too.”
“Avery spoke up for you?” Jean asked, raising an eyebrow.
Neera glanced at him sideways, stuck out her tongue, and quickly corrected herself. “He spoke for the
Gordon family. In any case, the position of district president wasn’t taken away, and we successfully
joined the Council of Elders. I guess I’ve completed my task satisfactorily, right?”
Shane nodded. “In that case, the people on Granduncle Baxter’s side should have no more objections.”
Chad asked, “What is your position in the Council of Elders?”
“Ninth,” Neera answered. “By the way, Mr. Cox has been promoted to the position of second elder.”
Chad fell into deep thought.
“They are still somewhat sensible, wary of the power from Lordsworth Estate. They dared not bully you
blatantly.” Jean was the first to speak, deciphering the intentions of the guild.
Chad nodded in agreement. “After this district president election conference, many issues within the
Bartitsu Guild have been exposed. At present, the balance of power has tilted too much toward the
lord. Given the current situation of the Bartitsu Guild, they wouldn’t dare to provoke the lord. However,
the Cox family…”
Neera saw him deep in thought and asked curiously, “What about the Cox family?”
“The guild suddenly promoted the Cox family. I wonder what their intention is.”
Neeka was puzzled. “The Cox family’s status in the Bartitsu Guild has risen again. Isn’t that a good
thing?”
Neera saw him deep in thought and asked curiously, “What about the Cox family?”
“The guild suddenly promoted the Cox family. I wonder what their intention is.”
Neera was puzzled. “The Cox family’s status in the Bartitsu Guild has risen again. Isn’t that a good
thing?”
Chad shook his head. “Some matters are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Ostensibly, the
guild is promoting the Cox family, but in reality, it’s placing the Cox family in a perilous situation.”
“You’re right,” Shane said, his expression slightly serious. “For a long time, there has been no change
in the elder seats of the Bartitsu Guild. Everyone has been maintaining a superficial balance. But now,
the Cox family has. broken this balance. With Avery’s rise in status, it means that the positions of the
other six elders will decline. Those elders, who have long been accustomed to being high above, won’t
be able to accept such a change. Naturally, they will harbor resentment toward the Cox family.”
Neera immediately understood.
