Bab 204: Get Rid Of Old Matriarch [2]

Chapter - 204

"It's simple, really," he declared, his tone firm and resolute. "Evelina possesses qualities that are sorely lacking in your descendants. She's a force to be reckoned with—strong, capable, and willing to do whatever it takes to ensure the family's legacy."

With a pointed look, Rick continued, "It's time for you to take a step back, dear matriarch, and focus on nurturing the next generation. Let Evelina take the reins and lead the Blood Thorne family into a new era of prosperity."

The old woman absorbed Rick's bold statements in silence, her face a mask of impassivity. Yet, underneath that serene facade, a tumultuous storm of emotions brewed—anger, disbelief, and a touch of admiration for his brazenness.

Rick's blatant challenge to her authority, his suggestion that she step down, felt like a personal affront, yet she couldn't help but recognize the courage it took to voice such thoughts.
