Chapter 828 Will
In the blink of an eye, it was three days, and these three days were tense and busy up and down the manor.
The death of the old patriarch represents the end of an old era, which is not only related to the Ross family, but also involves many other levels.
No way, who made the Ross family too strong?
Their existence can no longer be regarded as just a family with a long heritage, and their existence has long permeated all aspects of this shijie.
No one or nation dares to despise them, not even those as powerful as the Dark Council!
I don't know when a slight drizzle began to fall in the sky, and it seemed that even the heavens felt sad for the death of the old patriarch.
Led by Harriman, the sons of the old patriarch stood on either side of the gate to greet one guest after another.
Those who can come to the funeral of the old patriarch are all real big people, either the dignitaries of a certain country or the helm of a certain commercial giant.
If outsiders see that the faces that frequently appear on TV and newspapers are all gathered here at this moment, I am afraid that even their eyes will fall in surprise.
A black Rolls-Royce slowly stopped at the door, and the man in black sitting in the passenger seat quickly got out of the car and opened the back door.
The trembling old man with gray hair walked down on crutches, and a blonde young man on the other side hurriedly came over to support the old man.
"Harriman, I'm sorry to hear that, please mourn." The old man came to Harriman and the others, and said with a little sadness on his face.
"Mr. Furman, thank you for coming." Harriman held out his hand and shook the old man's hand.
This man is the patriarch of the Foreman family, Foreman, and the current king of a European country.
And the one who supported him was none other than Danny, who was spoiled by Mo Shaokun.
At this moment, Danny also had a little sadness on his face, but there was a little excitement in his eyes.
"I'm old friends with Rose, we've been in regular contact since we were younger, and I'm shocked and sad to hear that he's gone." Old Foreman Road.
Harriman was a little tired in his heart, in fact, the relationship between the two families didn't seem to be as good as he said?
But at the moment, Harriman can't say anything, and he still has cooperation with the Foreman family.
After all the guests have arrived, the funeral officially begins.
An old man in a white robe holding a scepter accompanied by a group of people came to the funeral platform.
The funeral of the old patriarch will be presided over by him.
Mo Shaokun and Chu Huaisha stood in the crowd, looking at the white-robed old man with a little curiosity in his eyes.
Is this the legendary pope? Perhaps only the patriarch of the Ross family has such a big face, so that the Pope can personally help him preside over the funeral.
Not far from Mo Shaokun, Punk and Danny stood side by side, the two whispered something from time to time, and occasionally looked at Mo Shaokun and Chu Huaisha.
Mo Shaokun didn't take their eyes seriously at all.
The funeral lasted more than an hour, after which the old patriarch was buried in the Ross family cemetery.
A grand dinner was held in the banquet hall to entertain the guests.
But at this moment, everyone's minds are obviously not on the banquet, and everyone is speculating about who will become the new patriarch of the Rose family!
This is not only the Ross family's own business, but also very important to these guests, they have cooperated with the Ross family, and who comes to the stage is related to whether the future cooperation can go smoothly.
"Thank you for coming to my father's funeral, he was a great man and an idol to me and my brothers." Harriman, as the eldest son, is naturally the protagonist of the day, and he said loudly with a wine glass.
The guests raised their glasses and gestured at him, with the occasional reassuring remark.
"Harriman, we're curious to know who will succeed Patriarch Ross?" One guest asked.
The others also looked at Harriman.
A smile appeared on Harriman and said, "No matter who inherits, I believe that the cooperation between the Ross family and everyone will not change, and we will always be close partners like comrades-in-arms." β
Everyone despises it in their hearts, who will believe this kind of? They now just want to know the answer and the mystery.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Harriman naturally knew what they were thinking.
He glanced at his son, and Punk walked away quickly.
Harriman said, "With everyone here, I would like to invite you to witness the birth of the new patriarch of our Ross family. β
Hearing him say this, everyone fell silent.
Baikal and Konga glanced at each other, and they looked at Harriman with a sneer on their lips.
Claire's eyes narrowed slightly, and she also looked at Harriman.
Even Jester, who had always been unconcerned about the patriarch's affairs, looked at him with interest as the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
As we all know, the time has come!
Soon, Punk walked over with a middle-aged woman with a worried look.
Harriman glanced at the middle-aged woman, and then said, "Let me introduce you first, this is Miss Bes, Lawyer Cook's wife. I regret to inform you that Mr. Cook, one of the witnesses to the Will, disappeared shortly after he left the Ross family, and the other witness, the faithful butler of our Ross family, Beron Sr., was also maliciously injured and has not yet woken up. I'm outraged that this has happened, and I would like to condemn those who will stop at nothing to achieve their ends! They are a disgrace to the Ross family, and I will find out the truth as soon as possible, and I will not tolerate whoever hurt Cook and Old Peron! β
Hearing Harriman's words, everyone had a strange smile on their faces, and they all knew about the battle between the Rose family.
But that's not what they care about, every big family is like this when power alternates, there's nothing to say about success or defeat, as long as you can become the winner of Zuihou, then everything else doesn't matter.
With a smile on his face, Harriman added: "But I'm glad that Lawyer Cook seems to have sensed that someone is going to work against him, and when he returned home, he gave his will to his wife for safekeeping, which also made some people's vicious Jihua come to naught, and we can continue to follow our father's original intention and let the most suitable person lead the Ross family forward." β
After saying that, Harriman leaned slightly, and made a gesture to Bis and said, "Miss Brisk, please announce the will on behalf of Lawyer Cook." β
Bess was a little pale, although Cook was also a famous barrister, but she had never experienced this kind of big scene as a woman.
Taking two steps forward, she took out a letter with trembling hands, opened it and read it.
"The ...... Testator, Eisen. Rose, 86, is the 17th patriarch of the Ross family. The witness, Cook, 41, was the Ross family's chief counsel. The Witness, Peron, 67, was the butler of the Ross family. β
Swallowing her saliva, Bess continued, "I'm Eisen." Ross made a will under the witness of God and PerΓ³n and Cook, and when I was thrown into the arms of the Lord, it would be Harriman, my eldest son. Rose succeeded as patriarch. This is my truest will......"
