They were utterly perplexed, especially after Lord Moore made a remarkable recovery from what was thought to be a terminal illness. Now, he was as vigorous as a middle-aged man, meaning he could potentially live another ten to twenty years.


    Jasmine, though currently inexperienced, had the unwavering support and hope of Lord Moore. With his protection and guidance, there was no doubt she would evolve into apetent leader of the family in just a few years.


    By then, it would be exceedingly challenging to disce her.


    History shows that when noble families are in a struggle for power, the best time for a coup is when a new emperor sits on the throne with a shaky foundation.


    A case in point is Zhu Di from the Ming Dynasty, who rebelled against his nephew, the Jianwen Emperor. Zhu Di sessfully toppled the newly crowned emperor, taking advantage of the precarious situation.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    However, the issue at hand was that Jasmine was not akin to the Jianwen Emperor.


    When the Jianwen Emperor took the throne, Zhu Di’s father, Zhu Yuanzhang, had already passed away. Had Zhu Yuanzhang been alive, Zhu Di’s rebellion would likely have failed.


    Now, with Lord Moore in good health, Reuben and Theodore found themselves at a disadvantage.


    They had no schemes to counter Lord Moore’s decisions, leaving them to bide their time and observe the unfolding events for any opportunity to act.


    As Jasmine entered the room, Lord Moore greeted her with a warm smile, saying, “Wee home, our new head of the family! Come, Jasmine, take the main seat!”


    Jasmine had expected to find just her grandfather waiting for her, so she was taken aback to see the entire family gathered in the living hall. The fact that her grandfather was willing to relinquish the main seat for her left her momentarily speechless.


    “Oh no, Grandpa! You should sit in the main seat. I’ll be happy to sit next to you,” she quickly replied.


    Lord Moore chuckled, “How can I upy the main seat when I’m no longer the head of the family? That would undermine your rightful position.”


    He gently assisted Jasmine into the main seat and thenughed heartily. “The Moore family is truly blessed! Not only do we have the esteemed Master Wade to guide us, but we also have an exceptional sessor in Jasmine to lead our family to greater heights. I am confident that in a few short years, our family will thrive.”


    Everyone else in the family apuded enthusiastically except for Theodore and Reuben, who understood the underlying motivations.


    They realized that Jasmine must have a deep affection for Charlie; otherwise, he wouldn’t have assisted her so frequently or gifted her two Rejuvenating Pills.


    Considering that one Rejuvenating Pill was sold to Travis Lane for two billion dors, thebined worth of two pills was at least four billion, right?


    Now that Jasmine had assumed the role of family head, it was inevitable that Charlie would continue to support her, steering their family toward a prosperous future.


    Lord Moore felt a wave of relief wash over him as he observed the enthusiastic response from the family.


    His greatest fear was that his choice to pass the leadership to Jasmine would be met with disapproval. If anyone sought a reason to rebel against her, she would find herself in a precarious position.<fne526> Find the newest release on Find1Novel</fne526>


    Fortunately, with Master Wade’s favor and his own role as protector, Jasmine was well-equipped to excel as the head of the family.


    With this assurance, Lord Moore beamed and mused, “I can see it won’t be long before our family rises to be the number one family in the South Region. If Jasmine is fortunate enough to marry Master Wade, it would be a tremendous honor for us, propelling our family to unimaginable sess—the sky’s the limit!”


    However, Theodore, unusually quiet until now, interjected with concern, “Father, let’s not forget that we’ve crossed Sam Kilgore today. We have no idea how the Kilgore family might retaliate!”


    Lord Moore responded sharply, “With Master Wade on our side, I have no fear of offending Lord Kilgore—let alone his third son!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
