In his view, the Banks Family finds itself in its current predicamentrgely due to Zayne, who he believes should shoulder the majority of the me. To him, Zayne is not only unfit to be the family heir but alsocks the qualifications to be considered a legitimate blood heir. The term “family sessor” refers to the individual destined to inherit the entire Banks Family legacy and lead it in the future, while “bloodline sessor” involves meeting a more stringent set of criteria. Any descendant of the Banks Family is considered a blood sessor by default.


    The current Lord Banks is adamant that Zayne is not only unqualified to lead the family but also unworthy of inheriting the Banks bloodline!


    In a voice filled with anger, he dered, “James! Get your eldest brother on the line! Tell him to stop Deana from participating in the judicial auction next Monday! I will not allow this woman to turn the Banks Family into aughingstock in China again!”


    James, feeling a surge of satisfaction at his father’s words, responded with seriousness, “Dad, don’t worry! I’ll call big brother right away!” He quickly pulled out his phone to make the call.


    Lord Banks, watching closely, added coldly, “Put it on speaker! I want to hear what this rebellious son has to say!” James felt a thrill at the thought of confronting his eldest brother Zayne during this tense moment.<fn9ddd> Chapters first released on find·novel</fn9ddd><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Meanwhile, Zayne, unaware of the turmoil in Eastcliff, received the call from James and instantly felt a wave of disgust. Although he wasn’t physically present in Eastcliff, he could easily envision how his younger brother would undermine him in their father’s absence.


    This situation was akin to an ancient emperor expressing dissatisfaction with his prince, seeking to dethrone him. As other princes reveled in the opportunity, they would scheme to outshine the prince while simultaneously trying to bring him down.


    In the face of immense stakes, brotherly bonds meant little; they were practically irrelevant. Frustrated, Zayne chose to ignore James’s call.


    When James called again, receiving no response, he turned to Lord Banks and said, “Big Brother isn’t answering; who knows what he’s up to.”


    “Useless! Absolutely useless!” Lord Banks shouted. “I sent him to Australia to avoid the spotlight, and aside from this incident, he’s done nothing but ignore my calls! Keep trying!”


    “Understood!”


    James promptly dialed Zayne once more.


    In Australia, Zayne was so irritated by his phone ringing incessantly that he considered turning it off. However, a sudden realization struck him: “The old man is displeased with me. If I ignore James again, he’ll go straight to our father and tarnish my reputation even further.”


    With that thought, he pressed the answer button and replied coldly, “What do you want?”


    James quickly responded, “Brother! Why do you keep ignoring my calls?”


    Zayne was taken aback by his younger brother’s immediate usation. He retorted, “I was sent to Australia to avoid the limelight. How is this still my responsibility? Shouldn’t you handle the issues back home?” At that moment, Lord Banks, listening on the other end, frowned but remained silent, signaling to James to keep Zayne unaware of his presence.


    James quickly understood and said, “Big brother! Sister-inw has gone to Aurous Hill, to Bruce’s former residence, and she’s been seen crying there. The paparazzi captured it all! She even signed up for the judicial auction on Monday and intends to buy Bruce’s old residence! This is ruining the reputation of the Banks Family!”
