Chapter 819
“Don’t worry. I’ll keep my promise! Come on and join me at the gathering!” Gilbert said confidently.
“Okay.” Iris nodded in relief, before pushing Gilbert out of the room in his wheelchair.
Meanwhile, in the main hall, all major members of the family, including Daisy and Royce, along with a few members
of the Lowes who were invited, gathered around under the elders‘ instruction.
Just then, they all heard footsteps approaching and Iris appeared in the main hall by Gilbert’s side.
“Quiet down!”
Seeing that Gilbert entered the room, one of the elders started the gathering.

targeted by some vicious bandits and was at the brink of falling apart. Gilbert has risen to lead us through the
crisis,” The elder explained and complemented Gilbert for his accomplishment.
All major members of the family knew everything that happened and as far as they were informed, Young Group
only managed to survive because Iris sold her own company and agreed to marry Jacob Lowe in order to gain the
support of the Lowes.
In conclusion, Gilbert only benefited from the sacrifices his daughter made.
The other members of the Youngs looked down on Gilbert after everything that happened, as he was hardly
comparable to Jonah as a martial artist and fell short in terms of the sacrifices he made for the family compared to
Iris.
The others struggled to accept Gilbert as their next leader.
“Also, a family will be lost without a leader. With Albert bed–bound, we have decided that Gilbert, who has made
great sacrifices for our family, will be appointed as the new leader!” One of the elders announced and
the others fell into silence.
Though Gilbert’s ability as an individual was questionable, he was Iris’s father and all of Iris’s sacrifices
could be considered Gilbert’s accomplishments as well. In the end, he was the first in line for the position, so none
of them argued with the decision.
“We’ll proceed with the ceremony now,” The elder said, before signaling the others to make way.
Iris pushed Gilbert forward in his wheelchair, when suddenly-
“Hang on!” Harold stood out of the crowd.

right before he was assigned as the leader.
“Mister Young, I believe that we have made a deal. You said that you will agree to marry your daughter to my
son if we help you with the crisis your company faced! Since your company has stabilized, fulfill your
promise and give me a confirmed answer right now!” Harold said.
“Well, there’s no rush. We can discuss that after I become the leader of the Youngs!” Gilbert said hesitantly.
“No way! There are orders to things and our deal of the marriage came first. You just have to agree to it here and it
won’t take much time!”
