Chapter 546
Prime Butler Herbert McKlin sighed as he shook his head, helping the old patriarch out of his seat and towards the more comfortable sofa.“Sir, you'll definitely have to wait till, at least, Young Master Benjamin finishes his undergrad studies at EDU. So, on behalf of everyone who's not aware that you're scamming them with your feigned illness, I implore you to hang in there.”Hunter Whiteridge smacked his prime butler's arm with a chuckle escaping his lips.“Are you done making fun of me? You and your sarcastic words piss me off sometimes.”Once they were closer to the expansive sofa, Hunter walked the rest of the way without help, never needing to begin with. It has grown from putting on a show of weakness to the rest of the family to simply being accustomed to it. Truly, the patriarch and the prime estate's Head Butler were no different from sworn brothers.Occupying his seat, he lay down a bit and shut his eyes for a moment, taking in the calming noises in the background.“I don'
Chapter 545
Veronica knew that there was no going back. In the Whiteridge family, the patriarch's words are the law to which everyone is subjected, including her.Once the favored grandchild of the great master, she's now stripped of her greatest asset, the major shares of Tyrone Groups. She's no longer a worthy contender for the position of Heir Apparent, and she's being grounded.This is deeply humiliating to Veronica. Being the favored heir contender within this large family did not come easy at all. She grew up bullying, manipulating, and engaging in all sorts of horrible acts to weed out the real threats amongst the contenders.Over two decades, she kept scheming her way to the top, until she got to where she was. And now, it was all gone, all because she orchestrated the kidnapping of an outsider who she didn't realize had actually become an honorary member of her family.Veronica has been caught scheming against a family member. This was a capital offence within the family, and she's payi

“Grandpa, are you serious?!”Veronica was mortified by this revelation at this point. There was already the fact that she was struggling with: a sudden, long-lost cousin of hers had a very high chance of surpassing her and actually becoming the heir apparent. Now, it turns out that the foster grandmother of that long-lost cousin of hers has managed to bag the affection of the very man who's currently occupying the seat of patriarch.“Y…You're not kidding, are you? You're really in a relationship with Benjamin's grandmother.”Great Master Hunter stared at her granddaughter before clearing his throat.“You helped the Tyrone family - a known group of enemies to your own cousin - get a hold of his foster grandmother. Veronica, you aided an enemy of this family. I am disappointed in you.”Veronica began shaking her head with eyes rimmed red as tears threatened to slide down her face.“No! No, you can't say it like that. You can't put it like that! That woman is his foster grandmother! They
Chapter 543
Veronica halted her own words, realizing just how ridiculous it would sound once it left her lips completely.How did her grandfather find out that she had launched an ambush against her cousin at Mayor Gregory Fern's residence? This was the question she was going to blurt out. But it would have been a very dumb question to ask. After all, as a highly regarded young madam of the Whiteridge family, she should know more than anyone just how easy it is for the prime estate to gather intel on anyone and anything as long as it exists. Keeping tabs on the actions of the rest of the family is not excluded.This is one of the many ways in which the patriarch or matriarch of the Whiteridge family has maintained utmost power: keeping tabs on the rest of the family to ensure no one is acting out of line against the family's established order, driven by greed for power.Therefore, it made absolute sense that the Great Master Hunter was aware of the feud that had been going on between his highly
Chapter 542
Veronica took a step back, keeping quiet momentarily before she felt anger bubbling within her heart “Hold on, what?!”Great Master Hunter Whiteridge was in a very casual sweater that actually wasn't thick enough, looking like a member of the elite wealthy class going out to play golf.“What?! Are you deaf?! Theresa Knox. Benjamin’s poor grandmother. How dare you involve her in a beef with your cousin?!”Veronica couldn't believe her ears and eyes. Of all the things that would actually piss off her grandfather, Benjamin's foster grandmother was truly the last person she expected to be the most important person in the great master's mind right now.“Grandpa, what's going on?! Why are you working yourself up over this?! Isn't she just an old woman?!”Veronica didn't know why her question had led to the entire office immediately becoming cold, even going as far as to make her shudder, but she could see that the patriarch was responsible for this.“Um…. Grandpa?”Hunter Whiteridge glare
Chapter 541
Veronica found the Prime Estate's Head Butler, Herbert McKlin, standing at the end of the hallway, which had soldiers from the golden-elite troop, controlled by the patriarch alone, lined up at both ends.The prime estate's Head Butler, Herbert McKlin, had an unreadable smile on his face as we watched one of the great master's grandchildren heading towards him.He bowed slightly in a show of respect.“Young Madam Veronica, you're finally here. The patriarch has been a bit impatient about your arrival. I hope you have a good excuse for your youth.”There was definitely a tone of respect, but the undertone and wordings themselves made it clear that he wasn't happy with her.Veronica also bowed slightly before the Prime Estate's Head Butler, Herbert McKlin. This older man is the closest to the patriarch himself, closer to the great master than any of the notable members of the Whiteridge family.As the prime estate's Head Butler, Herbert McKlin held authority that was second to none.
