She was the last one who would have a say among the Mares.
“I’m Leonard’s wife. My name is on our marriage certificate. How am I not part of the family?
“You, on the other hand… You were just adopted by Old Mare. You’re not related by blood or anything!
What gives you the right to criticize me?”
Minerva snapped as she crossed her arms.
James sneered, “Leonard… do you share the same sentiment?”
Leonard gulped.
At the end of the day, he had to recognize James as his brother.
He knew James’ temper very well. If Leonard dared to anger James, he would be taught a valuable
lesson.
“That’s enough, Minerva… Keep quiet!”
Leonard did not want to dwell on this topic anymore, so he said with a smile, “Dr. Tanner cured Old
Mare’s illness. We should be happy! I’ve made a reservation at Oste Capiton Hotel to celebrate his
recovery and give Liam and Lauren a warm welcome!”
“I’m glad that the old man is fine, but we won’t disturb your family reunion!” One of Leonard’s cousins
said and left with his family.
“We’re leaving too. If anything happens, remember to call us!” another middle-aged man said.
Not long after, Zeke’s children were the only ones left in the villa.
James then stared coldly at Leonard. “Lincoln is stuck abroad, and Liam isn’t married yet, so… it’ll be
hard for him to gain a foothold in the family. After Lauren got married, she lost her right.
“They don’t have any shares in their hands. Within your father’s lineage, you’re the only one who holds
5% of the shares, so you’re the only one who gets a say. Do you really believe that you can handle the
other three lineages by yourself?”
Zeke had three brothers. Each brother owned 20% of the Mares’ shares, and the remaining 20 % was
held by the shareholders.
The Mare family’s shareholders’ meeting was composed of distant relatives, and each successive
patriarch was elected by the shareholders’ meeting through a vote. Therefore, even if Zeke transferred
his 20% share to Leonard, if this lineage did not work together in unity, the position of patriarch would
only end up in the hands of the other lineages.
“You’re right, James…” Leonard mumbled half-heartedly, not taking James’ words to heart.
He had already considered this, but now there were two options in front of him.
He could either bring Liam, Lincoln, and Lauren together and work together for the position of family
head.
Or he could go his own way and take over the other 15% of his father’s shares alone.
Capiton’s business world was in chaos. Even if they were reunited, they may not be able to bring high
profits to the company.
With the uncertainty of the outcome, it was unlikely for the others to vote for his lineage during the
shareholders’ meeting.
Hence, he chose the latter option. He wanted to monopolize the entire 20% of the shares within his
father’s lineage.

It was already the end of the day.
At a rest area, Nash called Hera.
Hera told Nash everything that happened during the day without forgetting to smugly take credit for her
actions today. “What do you think? I was pretty cool today, right? Hurry and praise me.
