In fact, Redsprings didn't know what really happened. However, Gary's hostile attitude, and the family's sudden video meeting was enough to give him a bad feeling.
"Sir, there are definite signs of an internal power struggle within the family,and the situation seems to be escalating...”
"I don't know the details, but the elders are waiting for you to return and do a video conference. I also got this news just now," Redsprings explained,his worried look becoming more evident.
“Westfield,you really have no manners to return so late. Don't you know the elders are waiting for you?" Gary
scolded Westfield arrogantly.
Ever since Westfield walked in earlier indifferently, Gary had been holding back his anger.
"Who do you think you are? If I have to use my status as a cousin to suppress you, I don't really care. You're nothing in my eyes!” Westfield responded expressionlessly.
Gary didn't expect him to have the audacity to fight back, his face darkening. Afterward, he thought of the upcoming video conference and smirked maliciously before saying,“Fine,enjoy your arrogance for now.
A few minutes later,you'll be crying!"
"Christiant's enough, Sir. Let's start the meeting quickly so the elders don't
have to wait any longer," Redsprings said,not wanting Westfield to fight with Gary anymore. Otherwise, it'd make things difficult, even for Westfield.
Before Gary could retort, Redsprings had already pressed the control button,switching the video to the conference room.
In the center of the video was an old man with a white beard and eyebrows. His thin and wrinkled face was red, his sharp eyes emitting a formidable aura.
This old man was Brian Sanchez, the Jeremy family's current head and Gary s grandfather.
On his left and right were two other elders,both with cold and stern
expressions at the camera.
Seeing these vaguely familiar faces,Westfield couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. Ever since he was banished three years ago, he'd never expected to meet them again like this. They never contacted him until now, as if they had completely forgotten about him.
“Mark,respected elders!" Gary immediately bowed and greeted the video with a smile, showing a stark contrast to Westfield's calm and unaffected demeanor
“Westfield,why didn't you greet the elders when you saw them?”Jonathan narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice.
“Don't you already have Gary to be your good grandson? Since you wouldn't really care about me, I won't join in this lively scene,”Westfield replied calmly.
“I initially thought you were just being mischievous and you'd still redeem yourself, but now it seems you're not even willing to fight for your last chance." Jonathan angrily sneered in a low, menacing tone.
“Stop beating around the Jason and get straight to the point. Don't you have something to discuss?" Westfield responded nonchalantly.
“I'm extremely busy right now, and I don't want to waste anyone's time.Therefore,you should stop labeling me as someone who doesn't know
better!" Westfield urged impatiently.
“Westfield,what's with this attitude?
How dare you talk to the elders like
this?“One elder immediately
slammed the table and angrily
questioned.
"Alright, let's get straight to the point.
I'm asking you, will you accept being
the family's heir? This is your last
chance,so think carefully before
answering.
Otherwise,you will lose everything
you have now and be banished
completely from the Jeremys!” Jonathan
waved his hand, signaling the elder
beside him to calm down.
Westfield furrowed his brows. Whenever
things don't go as he expected,there
was probably something suspicious
going on. Was Jonathan so eager to
change his attitude and make him the
heir just because of his business
abilities?
