Chapter 861: The Dust Settles
It was night, Mo Shaokun was lying on the railing of the balcony with a wine glass in his hand and looking at the night outside.
The turmoil of the Ross family finally subsided, and Jester died, Baikal died, and Konga died......
Harriman has completely lost his desire to fight after the war, and he has decided to quit altogether and make Claire the new patriarch of the family.
As for himself, he is retired to recuperate, to be honest, he is indeed not young, and it is indeed time to retire when he will be 70 in a few years.
Claire still can't let go of Harriman for poisoning his father, he originally planned to hold Harriman accountable and make him atone for his sins after becoming the patriarch, but after this incident, he didn't plan to do it.
Now that the five brothers were left with the two of them, it would be a little too cruel for him to hold Harriman accountable.
The impact of this turmoil was not as big as imagined, and few outsiders knew what had happened except for the insiders of the Ross family, and the Ross family claimed that the enemy had come to seek revenge.
As for who this enemy is? But anyone with some insight can guess that the only one who can be called an enemy by the Ross family is the Dark Council.
However, it seems that the Ross family is not wrong in saying this, this time it is indeed a battle between them and the Dark Council!
Both sides paid a heavy price, but fortunately, the Ross family won the game in the end.
This? One? Root? Read? The novel.ybdu. not only did not affect the prestige of the Ross family, but it also boosted the prestige of the family!
It is not a secret between some old families in Europe that the Ross family and the Dark Council are not secrets, and these families have always thought that although the Ross family is strong, they are probably not the opponents of the Dark Council, but who knows that this time the Ross family won, which makes these families start to feel that they still underestimate the Ross family.
The Dark Council hated it so much, not only did it fail to hit the opponent but made it more prestigious, but they could only suffer a dumb loss, which really made them feel aggrieved.
Could they still have jumped out and told everyone that the Dark Council only lost because it used a small part of its power and was ruined by a few damned Huaxia people? That's a bit too pretentious, and it will only make people laugh more.
Three days later, a grand reception will be held at Rose Manor, where Harriman, the eldest son of the old patriarch, will officially announce Claire as the new patriarch, and it is worth mentioning that Claire finally discovered the secret of the safe during the battle to clean the castle!
Just as Mo Shaokun's **** guessed to Chu Huaisha, the safe in the old patriarch's room was not far from the original one.
Behind that wall was Claire and Jester's biological mother's former room, and no one expected Jester to break through the wall from his biological mother's room, take out the original safe in its entirety, and replace it with a replica safe.
As for how he did it without alarming the old patriarch, it has become a secret without an answer, but Mo Shaokun has some speculations in his heart.
A few days before the old patriarch died, Jester would go to the old patriarch's room every morning, and outsiders thought he was doing his filial piety, but now it seems that he should be taking advantage of that time to build!
It's likely that he used an anesthetic or something to put the old patriarch to sleep, and then secretly replaced the safe, so that he didn't know it.
The fake safe is actually just the same thing, even the keyhole on it is fake, and even three chopsticks can be inserted to open the safe smoothly, which also explains why Jester has the audacity to wait for Harriman to open it with the key.
Happily, after opening the old patriarch's safe, they did find a will, and the name on it was none other than Claire!
In fact, the old patriarch never gave up on this son, although because he did not marry a certain noble lady according to the family's arrangement, but forcibly married Chu Weili, which caused the old patriarch to be very dissatisfied with him, and even refrigerated him.
But knowing his son, the old patriarch knew that among his sons, Claire was the only one who had the ability to lead the Rose family forward.
Harriman is narrow-minded and moderately old.
And Baikal and Konga are not to mention, two eldest young masters who are used to enjoying themselves, and letting them take charge of the Rus family will only make the family more and more decaying.
As for Jester, he was mentioned in the old patriarch's will, perhaps because of the taboo lawyer and old Veron, he didn't say it very clearly, but said that he couldn't reuse Jester after Claire inherited the patriarch's position.
This made everyone feel that maybe the old patriarch had already noticed that Jester had a problem, but because of the original DNA identification results, he had always believed that he was his son, so he didn't do anything to Jester with that trace of blood relationship, just didn't let him meddle in the family affairs.
It's a pity that even though the old patriarch noticed that Jester had a problem with his eyes, he still couldn't see through the essence of the matter in the end!
With a long sigh, Mo Shaokun looked up at the bright moon hanging in the air.
The Ross family is over, and he and his brothers should go back tomorrow.
This time, he and his brother have done the Ross family a great favor, for which Claire is deeply grateful, and even offers a large sum of money to treat them.
But Mo Shaokun they didn't take it, no one doesn't like money, but after all, they are soldiers and can't do many things, although they came to Europe this time in their personal capacity, but if they accept this money, there will definitely be some trouble.
"Why are you here?" Claire's voice came from behind him.
Mo Shaokun looked back, chuckled and joked: "I'm leaving tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't have a chance tonight if I don't hurry up and take a good look at this mysterious Rose Manor." ”
Claire patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are always welcome here, and the door of the Rose family will always be open for you as long as you want." I'll have the villa you live in renovated, and it's just for you. ”
Mo Shaokun smiled bitterly when he heard this: "You know, I may never come here again in the future." ”
"Is it because of Sally?" Claire asked.
Mo Shaokun paused, then nodded slowly.
Chu Huaisha has been taking care of him by his side for the past few days, and the two of them have a tacit understanding and have not mentioned anything about them, but both of them know in their hearts that it is not that they don't want to, but that they don't dare.
"Alas, to be honest, Shaokun, I really want you to be my son-in-law, why don't you think about it anymore?" Claire said with a somewhat complicated expression.
"To be the son-in-law of the Rose family is something that I don't know how many people dream of, but it's a pity...... I didn't have this life. ”
Claire sighed and didn't continue the topic.
In fact, facing Mo Shaokun at this moment, he really didn't know what to do with this kid, from his father's point of view, this kid made his baby daughter so sad, he couldn't wait to pick his skin and make his daughter angry.
But Mo Shaokun helped him and the Ross family this time, if it weren't for Mo Shaokun, Claire really couldn't imagine what the Ross family would become!
If someone told him before that a Chinese kid would have the ability to help the Ross family, I was afraid that he would only scoff at him, what is everything Mo Shaokun has compared to the Ross family? To put it mildly, everything he has now is nothing more than a joke in the eyes of the Ross family!
But this time he just became Mr. Key, which made Claire think of the principle of leverage, many things in this world are not equal, don't underestimate a small person, he can play a decisive role at a critical moment!
"I hope you can go after my succession ceremony, to be honest I feel a little guilty, you and your brother have helped us so much, and we are both seriously injured because of it, but you are not willing to accept even a little thanks, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
Claire is an arrogant person, and he doesn't want to owe anything to others, but Mo Shaokun They paid such a big price this time but refused to accept anything, which always made him feel uncomfortable in his heart.
Mo Shaokun smiled and said, "No, I still have very important things to do, as for thanks...... Hehe, this time it's just a coincidence, you don't have to think too much about it at all, if there is something that needs your help in the future, I won't be polite to you. Moreover, Brother Yun, their development in Europe may have to rely on the Ross family. ”
"Don't worry, we have a common enemy, and I will do my best to help them." Claire chuckled, and the two of them met their glasses and looked up to drink them......
