Naturally, Elodie Jean was perfectly calm at this moment.She knew there was no point in making things harder for Harvey York. Mandy Zimmer could even break off from Harvey, making him suffer alone.Mandy, on the other hand, would turn into a mere spectator.Elodie could not accept that.That was why she planned to drag Mandy down first.Reuben Jean raised his head before glancing at Mandy with a faint smile.“Mandy’s the head of the ninth branch, Elodie. You can’t just scold her like that.“Even if she’s an ungrateful person who doesn’t respect her elders, she does have the right and power to do so.“After all, no matter how weak the ninth branch is, the head’s status is still immense.”Reuben pretended to speak for Mandy, but his gloomy tone clearly meant he only wished to crush Mandy’s spirits.Even Lilian Yates, who would always run her mouth whenever she was angry, would not dare say a single word at that moment.Simon Zimmer looked the other way, as if nothing ever hap

“You little bitch! How dare you slander Elder Reuben’s name?!“Do you want to die or something?!”Elodie Jean was screaming in righteous fury.Reuben Jean, who had been watching the show, showed a gloomy expression.“Slap her!”Slap!With Reuben’s support, Elodie was as confident as she could get.She stepped forward before swinging the back of her palm across Xynthia Zimmer’s face. Xynthia stumbled back, almost falling to the ground.“How dare you, Elodie?!” she exclaimed.Elodie coldly chuckled.“Am I not supposed to?”Elodie swung the back of her palm forward once again.Xynthia instinctively blocked with her hand…But at this very moment, Reuben suddenly stepped forward before slapping Xynthia.A loud, crisp sound was heard.Xynthia covered her face while stumbling a few steps back before showing utter disbelief.“Elder Reuben, you…”In her mind, a man like Reuben would not do something as he pleased.And yet, it did happen.Xynthia looked stubbornly as if she wa

“You little bastard!“How dare you speak to me this way?!”Reuben Jean was utterly enraged.“What is wrong with your family, Simon?!“As the head family of the ninth branch, you couldn’t even teach a damn live-in son-in-law properly!“You disappoint me!“At this point, I should probably hold a meeting with the Elder Group. Maybe we need a different branch head instead!“Letting ignorant and disrespectful people in positions of power wouldn’t benefit us anyway!”Elodie Jean and Aunt Witby’s eyes lit up.“That’s right! It’s about time we have a different branch head!” the two exclaimed.“Someone might just take advantage of others with all that arrogance!”Lilian Yates’ eyes twitched before glaring at Harvey York.“Elder Reuben is a prominent figure, Harvey! If you’re going to challenge him like that, at least leave Mandy out of this!”“Don’t worry. He’s just an arrogant and unreasonable man with some skill,” replied Harvey.“People like that can’t go against Mandy, let alo

Reuben Jean stepped up before chuckling coldly at Mandy Zimmer.“Harvey York doesn’t know this, but I came with the Elder Group’s special privilege!“I’m invoking that privilege now!“I think you’re no longer suited to be the head of the ninth branch!“From now on, you must remove yourself from the position and let Elodie Jean take over!“You must cooperate with the asset transfer as well!“If not, you’ll have to suffer the consequences!”Lilian Yates shuddered after hearing Reuben’s words.“Harvey was the one who provoked you, Elder Reuben! That has nothing to do with us!“We don’t mind you doing whatever you want to him!“Don’t take your anger out on us!“More importantly, Mandy’s being supported by all the higher-ups!“You can’t just remove her unannounced!”Lilian knew that Reuben probably came to support Elodie’s rise to power.He was just making excuses for his actions.That said, Lilian had to fight back since she did not want her money tree to fall.Simon Zimmer

Harvey York froze.“Reuben Jean ousted Mandy Zimmer from her position?“Is he not afraid to make a mess of the entire situation?”Amora Foster quickly explained everything she knew.“Last night, Reuben used his special privilege, available once every year, for Elodie Jean to take charge instead of Mandy.“Today, he used his connections to try and keep the hundred-and-fifty-million dollar contract going.“Simply put, he’s doing everything he can to keep Elodie in charge.”“Did you agree to it then?” Harvey asked.Amora smiled.“Of course not.“Then again, Reuben was a once prominent figure with many connections. He managed to get a few of the elders from the Foster family to talk to me about this.“After telling them that you specifically requested this, they kept their mouth shut soon after!“But even though we already declined Reuben, he’d still find other ways to compensate for the losses caused by Elodie’s rise.”“It’s not that simple now, is it?“Mandy and I signed th
