Chapter 1266
These years, Tobias had overseen everything that had to do with the Cadens.
No one had thought about who was next in line as family head after Tobias was gone.
“Why? Are none of you competent enough to take charge?” James frowned at the Cadens‘ silence and inaction.
“I can.” A voice chimed in from a distance.
Shortly afterward, a beautiful young woman walked over, pushing a wheelchair. An old man wearing a golden robe was sitting in the wheelchair. His face bore the wrinkles of old age, and he had very long hair. He seemed rather elderly and was dressed like an ancient historical figure.
“Sir Lorenzo.”
Many people called out and greeted the old man respectfully.
Standing aside, Maxine whispered, “James, that’s Bennett’s son and the father of Thomas and Tobias, Lorenzo Caden.”
James was shocked.
He had been to the Cadens‘ mansion a few times in the past but had never once seen this old man before.
Not to mention, he was unaware that his great–grandfather was still alive.
Lorenzo was considered the most senior of all the elders in the family.
Maxine explained in a hushed tone, “Sir Lorenzo is a cripple, so he rarely stays in the Cadens‘ mansion. He recuperates in a different location. I don’t know why he visited the Cadens‘ mansion today. By the way, his disability is because your grandfather injured him, and he had to amputate his limb to stay alive.”
James‘ mouth hung agape.
A woman in her early twenties pushed Lorenzo closer to them.
He looked at everyone and asked lightly, “What’s going on?”
Bobby stepped forward and explained, “Sir Lorenzo, Maxine said that grandpa attacked and injured Bennett. Afterward, he absconded from the mansion. If this really happened, then grandpa would be a traitor to our family. Our family cannot go a day without a strong leader at its helm. I think it’s time to choose a new family head to preside over the family.”
“Ahem!.”
Bobby straightened his body and cleared his throat. Then, he declared in a clear voice, “I think our family can’t stay in seclusion forever and we need to eventually show ourselves to the world. I happen to have a good understanding of the outside world and bear the qualifications necessary for the position of the new family head. I believe that under my leadership and the assistance of the family elders, the Cadens will ascend to even greater heights.”
“Bobby, do you really think you’re capable of leading us?” Karson looked over at Maxine.
