Female Novel
Chapter 1107
Baxter was instantly filled with rage, angrily slapping the side table several times in a row.
“Chad! The Gordon family isn't just about you alone. You act recklessly, disregarding the consequences. How doyou intend to lead the Gordon family? If something irreversible happens, can you bear the responsibility? Canyou face the entire Gordon family?”
“You were so presumptuous back then, choosing that bratty girl as your successor without considering thefeelings of the rest of the Gordon family. That was already way out of line. And now, you dare to continue actingrecklessly. Do you think I'm dead?”
Chad, unassuming and unflappable, was not at all affected by his anger. He casually lifted his gaze.
“So, what do you want, Uncle Baxter? I respect you as my elder, but don't forget that I am the head of the Gordonfamily. Are you trying to threaten me?”
Baxter was taken aback for a moment, then he swallowed hard.
Even though he was Chad's uncle and a senior member of the Gordon family, ultimately, Chad was the head ofthe family.
At that moment, his expression was a picture of displeasure. He gritted his teeth, refusing to back down just yet.
“Anyway, I can agree to the rest, but I hope you reconsider this matter! This election is about the fate and futureof the Gordon family. If you let that girl go, isn't it like handing over the life and death of the Gordon family toher? This is too much of a child's play!”
“Anyone from the Gordon family would be more authoritative and suitable than her. How can we let someone
from outside the family take over such a significant position? What's going on here!”
Chad leaned casually against the sofa, speaking in a leisurely manner.
“In this election in Phison, the emphasis is on participation. The Gordon family has no intention of winning. It'slike a hot potato; once you hold it, you'll be in a lot of trouble. I don't plan to involve the Gordon family in anyturmoil. I'd rather let this pass as a mere formality. There's no need for her to establish any authority or save facefor the Gordon family. You are really overthinking it.”
Baxter was choked up again, his face looking worse than if he had eaten a fly.
Upstairs, Neera and a few others didn't return to their rooms as they were worried about the situation downstairs.Instead, they stayed by the staircase, listening intently.
Upon hearing this, Neera's expression darkened slightly.
It seems that Mr. Baxter is quite ambitious.
Although he didn't explicitly say it, it was clear that he has been vying for the position of district president.
Beside her, Avery's eyes slightly narrowed, he couldn't help but went downstairs.
“Mr. Baxter, in fact, you don't need to worry at all. This time Neera will go to Phison with me. She is my fiancéein name. With the Gordon family backing her, who would dare to disrespect her?”
Soon after, Shane also came downstairs.
“Granduncle Baxter, I will also protect little sister Neera, so you can rest assured.”
Baxter lifted his eyelids, only to see Neera around the corner, standing on the stairs and looking at him. His browsfurrowed even tighter.
What irritated him even more was that these people had actually sided with Neera.
He attempted to persuade Shane.
“Shane, don't forget that you are a member of the Gordon family. You have more rights to inherit the Gordonfamily and become the successor than she does. You are also more qualified to participate in the election for thedistrict president of Phison. Don't you care about all this?”
Shane simply wouldn't fall for his tricks. novelbin
“Grandfather San, I have no say on who will be the successor of the Gordon family. My uncle is the head of theGordon family, so it is up to him to make the decision. I don't need to worry about that. Besides, everyone shouldknow their place. Most importantly, I am very clear about my identity and position, so I won't indulge inunrealistic fantasies.”
On the surface, this remark seemed to be about him, but in reality, it carried a hint of sarcasm towards the otherparty.
Baxter could tell, and he was far from pleased.
He said everything that should and shouldn't have been said, yet it had no effect whatsoever.
At that moment, all he could do was snort coldly, “Fine, fine! Since you won't listen to me, then pretend I wasnever here and never said these words. In the future, don't blame me for not warning you if that girl ends upgetting into any kind of trouble!”
Having said that, he left in a huff. He was livid.
Chad squinted his eyes, a sharp and cold glint seeping from the depths of his gaze. It was something that no onehad ever seen before.
However, it was quickly vanished into thin air in a flash.
