Chapter 824
Gilbert was shaken to the core.
“Gilbert, don’t blame me for this. I have no other choice if I wish to protect this family,” Melvin sighed.
Seeing how everything seemed to settle, Gilbert panicked and immediately turned to look at Daisy.
“Daisy, they’re all trying to remove me from the line of succession. You need to say something!” Gilbert said hastily.
Young Group was the foundation of the family and whoever controlled the company controlled the Youngs.
However, since he handed the control over to his son, Royce, and his wife, Daisy, there was still a high chance for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim to become the leader as long as Daisy supported him.
“I think that Uncle Melvin is right! Gilbert, you have turned your back on this family for Iris’s sake and you have no
right to become the leader!” Daisy said expressionlessly.
“What?” Gilbert gaped in disbelief, not expecting his own wife to side with the other members. He widened his eyes
in disbelief and was utterly stunned.
“Daisy, you b*tch! How dare you betray me!” Gilbert sobered and felt his blood boiling with rage.
“Gilbert, don’t blame your incompetence on a woman! I’m only doing this for the Youngs. I don’t want you to
destroy everything!” Daisy said calmly.
“Why you!” Gilbert’s face flushed in fury.
Daisy was the one who told him to use Harold and discard him after all was done; however, he was about to lose
the opportunity to become the leader and not only did Daisy not helpe him, she sided with the others.

and since you have removed Gilbert from the line of succession, Royce should be the one who takes
over!”
“What?” The other members of the family gaped at one another.
They thought that with Gilbert out of the equation, Jonah would be the next leader and none of them expected
Daisy to interfere. Most importantly, Daisy had full control over the Young Group and no one dared to ignore what

Royce was the direct descendant of the first bloodline and with Daisy’s support, he was second in line to inherit the
position as the leader and had more rights to do so compared to Jonah.
The elders kept their composure the entire time. They all represented the family and since both Royce and
Jonah were direct descendants of the family, it did not matter who ended up becoming the leader as long as they
did not repeat Gilbert’s mistakes.
“Fine. Royce will become the next leader!” Melvin nodded.
“Dad, Royce is far too young and inexperienced. Isn’t it a little inappropriate for him to lead the Youngs?” Jonah
asked hesitantly.
He was so close to becoming the next leader and felt upset that the position was taken by Royce.
