Chapter 1788: Then, Should I Pass To You, Wastrel?

Gloria’s tone was firm. She didn’t know what kind of danger was going to befall Chaos City, but her current work was very important to her. It even overtook the importance of being the sole successor in her heart.

Perhaps, it was to prove herself, and do her father and her family proud when she fought for the inheritance rights initially.

However, when she saw those maidens reveal confident and beautiful smiles after they put on beautiful clothes, she seemed to have found the meaning of her existence.

Meanwhile, the introduction of the cheap and good cotton yarn into the cloth market would definitely cause a shocking response. Perhaps it could change the current situation where the cotton cloth was so expensive that ordinary people couldn’t afford it.

Perhaps, she would have difficulties reaching her grandfather’s height, and might never create another Moreton Family, but she found happiness and meaning in doing all those things.

Surprise appeared on Jeffree’s face before he revealed a hard-to-read smile. He said in a low voice, “How are you going to do all that if you lose your life?”

“Grandfather, may I ask what happened in Chaos City? Why is it so sudden?” Gloria asked, looking straight into Jeffree’s eyes.

“A devil that has survived since ancient times has appeared in the vicinity of Chaos City. It’s going to burst out of the seal and escape very soon. All the powers on the Norland Continent have sent out their powerhouses as reinforcements, but that devil is extremely powerful. Once the seal and the powerhouses’ defense line are broken, Chaos City will be the first to fall.” Jeffree sighed. “Apparently, the Urba Tribe was annihilated because of it back then.”

Gloria slowly widened her eyes, and a hint of fear ultimately appeared on her face.

“We don’t have much time left, so I need you to sign this deed of settlement. I will announce this to all our clan’s members in a while. You will be their leader after you all leave Chaos City,” Jeffree said to Gloria.

Gloria could only digest this terrible news after a long time. She hesitantly asked, “What about you, Grandfather? Are you not coming with us?”

“I’m staying.” Jeffree nodded slightly. “Chaos City is my hometown. It made me. Even if I am going to die, I have to die here so I can rest in peace.”

“Bu—”

“Sign it. We don’t have much time now. The Buffetts have almost all left by now. You all should be making your way out of the city too,” Jeffree interrupted Gloria.

Manard placed the confirmation letter in front of Gloria.

Gloria looked at Jeffree’s old face. His past glory seemed to have already faded from him. He looked just like an ordinary old man now.

After reading through this deed of settlement briefly, Gloria picked up the pen, and signed her name solemnly.

At that moment, she seemed to have sensed a heavy responsibility landing upon her shoulders. That was the responsibility of the rise and fall of a big family.

“You chose this route yourself. I hope you won’t regret this decision in the future.” Jeffree revealed a rare smile as he said to Gloria, “Go now. Your parents should be waiting for you.”

Gloria got up and bowed to Jeffree. Then, she left.

30 minutes of packing time was up very quickly. The family members regathered in the front yard with all kinds of big and small suitcases.

Gloria stood at the front row with Lance and the rest.

“You all will take the carriage out of the city, and then take the flying steed to Rodu.” Jeffree looked at all of them as he announced their trip’s destination.

All of them had different expressions. They still didn’t understand why they had to go to Rodu, which was thousands of kilometers away.

“I need to announce one thing before you leave,” Jeffree interrupted everyone’s musings, and looked at Gloria as he announced, “From today onwards, Gloria will be the Moreton Family’s sole successor. She will become the head of the family automatically when I die and take charge of all the matters in our family.”

Everyone was stunned upon hearing that. Then, they erupted into a commotion.

Gloria and Cyril were fighting for the right to inherit. Although Cyril was reprimanded and punished by Jeffree due to offending Master Rom, Gloria was still young, and had only come in contact with the family’s matters for a few months. Why did the head of the family suddenly make her the sole successor?

Cyril, who was standing at the side, was dumbstruck, and he stood rooted to the ground.

Herty and Herny glared at Gloria with disbelief.

“M-Master, did you say the wrong name? Wh-why did you make Gloria the successor suddenly? Didn’t you agree to let Cyril try it again?” Madam Denise said in a trembling voice.

“Yes. Father, you can’t do this. I am your son, and she’s only your granddaughter who will marry out of the family. You cannot pass our family fortunes to her,” Cyril said panickedly with a shocked expression.

“If I don’t pass it to her, then should I pass it to you, wastrel?” Jeffree looked at Cyril coldly. “How many chances have I given to you all these years? Did you ever grasp them? You wouldn’t have done those things if you had really had a brain!”

Denise still wanted to talk Jeffree out of it. “Master—”

“Stop it.” Jeffree threw a glance at her. “If you hadn’t kept pampering and protecting him, he wouldn’t have turned out to be such a stupid good-for-nothing. How dare you still plead for him?”

Jeffree gave a side glance to Aviva, Herty, and Herny at the side, and the three of them became silent immediately.

The entire front yard was silent. Jeffree’s prestige was completely displayed at this moment.

Everyone turned their gaze at Gloria, that maiden who used to wear a veil and have no presence. After she removed her veil, her beautiful looks and great business talent made her become prominent gradually.

However, nobody could have guessed that she would become the Moreton Family’s sole successor so rapidly.

“I have already signed the notarial certificate. Both Chaos City and Rodu will recognize it, so don’t try to do anything stupid. You will be exiled from the family.” Jeffree’s cold gaze swept across Cyril and Denise.

“Let’s go now. Live your lives properly.” Jeffree waved his hand. He turned and walked into his courtyard slowly.

All of them walked towards the backyard under the servants’ lead. Dozens of horse-drawn carriages were already waiting there.

Gloria took a look at Jeffree’s lonely back before holding Mickey’s hand, and following her family members.

“Make a trip to Mamy Restaurant first,” Gloria said to the coachman as soon as the carriage left through the Moreton Manor’s back door as she raised the curtains.

The coachman was put on the spot. “But Young Mistress, Master said…”

“We can make it if we go faster,” Gloria said with conviction.

“Alright. Please sit tight then.” The coachman nodded. He swung his whip, and the horse-drawn carriage dashed out.

A few minutes later, the horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of Mamy Restaurant.

Gloria jumped off the carriage, and quickly strode to the door. She was a little surprised to see the notice on the door, but she quickly rang the bell on the door.

Mr. Mag doesn’t seem to be at home??Gloria gave up helplessly after knocking for two minutes. She turned back to acknowledge her parents’ call before taking out a letter, and stuffing it under the restaurant’s door.

Gloria lifted the curtain, looked at the restaurant as the carriage moved away, and inwardly lamented,?Mr. Mag should be able to see it, right?
