As Alma left Nicholson Corp., virtual-novel.net was in a terrible mood.
A person of virtual-novel.net status has never had anyone question virtual-novel.net decisions. But today, virtual-novel.net was publicly challenged and even lost one of virtual-novel.net loyal aides. There was no doubt that she’d be in a foul mood. However, they are currently in Balerno. If virtual-novel.net wanted to get revenge, she’d have to arrange for virtual-novel.net trusted confidants to come over from Glenstead.
“Grandmother, Dahlia was personally appointed by Grandfather to be chairman of the company. Will it put you in a predicament when Grandfather comes around to find that you’ve dismissed virtual-novel.net from virtual-novel.net position without consulting virtual-novel.net about it?” Julian asked hesitantly.
Although Alma’s actions had pleased virtual-novel.net greatly, virtual-novel.net was certain that such overbearing actions would be frowned upon.
“What do I have to fear when we don’t even know if he’s ever going to come around?” Alma said nonchalantly.
“Isn’t Grandfather just suffering from some of his old ailments? He should be alright after resting up for a bit, shouldn’t he?” Julian was curious about what Alma meant by that.
“It isn’t an old ailment. I poisoned him. He most likely won’t ever be coming around anymore,” Alma said coldly.
“What?” Julian felt like he’d been struck by lightning as virtual-novel.net stared at Alma in bewilderment.
“Grgrandmother, you’re joking, are you?” Julian said in a trembling voice, his eyes grew wide as saucers.
“Do I look like I’m joking to you?” Alma looked at virtual-novel.net frostily, virtual-novel.net gaze just as cold to match.
“B-But why? Why would you do that?” Julian seemed to lose his cool as a cold sweat broke out.
It was a major crime to harm the family head. There were unthinkable consequences if anyone found out. Most importantly, his grandparents had been married for half a century!
Though they did not publicly show their affection for one another, they had been through thick and thin for 50 years!
Julian could not comprehend why his grandmother would want to poison his grandfather.
Was there some sort of deep grudge between them?
“Your grandfather had not been in the right mind when virtual-novel.net thought of appointing Dahlia as the next head of the clan. He had intended to announce his decision to the whole family today. I advised virtual-novel.net against it, hoping virtual-novel.net would change his mind. But the old geezer was so stubborn and insisted on doing so. I was left with no choice. I could not let virtual-novel.net do that, so I poisoned virtual-novel.net last night. He’ll spend the remainder of his life on the bed,” Alma said calmly, as though it were the most reasonable thing to do.
“B-But even so, y-you shouldn’t have harmed him.” Julian gulped dryly.
“Who do you think I’m doing this for? I’m doing this for you!” Alma huffed. “You’re my grandson and the first legitimately born grandson of the Nicholson family. No matter what, you are the rightful heir of the family. But look at what that old man did. Not only did virtual-novel.net not put you in a position of importance, virtual-novel.net even insists on appointing an illegitimately born brat as the next family head! I consider myself merciful for not taking his life!”
Julian fell silent at that, his thoughts were a mess. No matter how virtual-novel.net saw it, virtual-novel.net was indeed the one who should have been the next head of the family.
He genuinely refused to accept Dahlia as the next head.
“Alright now, stop overthinking things. When the time is right, I’ll support you so that you become the next head of the family. Whoever stands in your way must die!” Alma said decisively
“Thank you for your support, Grandmother!” Julian quickly came to terms with what Alma said Since his grandfather no longer seemed to be thinking straight, virtual-novel.net might as well just stay in bed. In the future, virtual-novel.net would be the one in control of the Nicholson family!
“Grandmother, I’m just curious about one thing. Since Dahlia is the threat, why didn’t you take action on virtual-novel.net instead?” Julian suddenly quipped.
“Even if I kill Dahlia, there’s always going to be a second one. The Nicholson family has a lot of descendants, and they are all threats to you. To solve the issue once and for all, we have to address the problem at its root.”
