Brad crossed his hands on his chin and said: "It's not a matter of being stingy or not, Thomas is Thomas, we recognize his merits, we recognize him as the most outstanding patriarch of the family from ancient times to the present, and will write him into the history of the Pavel family, so that future generations will always remember his outstanding exploits!"

Charlie is Charlie, from birth to adulthood, he has never done a single comforting thing, he has been marginalized from the moment he has been stripped of his inheritance by Thomas, and from the moment he has been expelled by me, he is no longer a Pavelard! We have no need to be merciful to an outsider!"

"You're too cold-blooded!" Caitlin looked at her brother and brother in front of her with a cross-eyebrow, seeing their indifferent appearances, a heartfelt loneliness and coldness enveloped her, suffocating, she added: "Don't you care about other people's opinions of the Pavel family at all?!

Ethan shook his head and said, "I don't think anyone else in Haynes City will sympathize with Charlie, now that he is a person who is annoying to everyone, he should hide in a corner of the pimple, so as not to pollute people's eyes and ruin people's good mood!"

At this time, standing at the main table, a young man of the same age as Charlie couldn't help but interject, and said with a smile: "Aunt Caitlin, you always persuade the family to give Charlie a certain amount of compensation, why don't you take White Deer Manor as compensation? When it comes to your own interests, do you retreat? I think you are better at being generous to others, anyway, it's all family's, not yours, hehe~!"

Being teased by a junior like this, a wave of anger emerged from her chest, intertwined with the previous sadness and loneliness, angry and annoyed, Caitlyn began to cough, once it started, it was out of control, more and more intense, and the bellows-like voice was particularly harsh in the hall, giving people a feeling that her lungs were about to burst in the next moment.

The girl was so anxious that she cried, patted her back, poured water, and scrambled to take care of Caitlyn, but she didn't know how to stop her from coughing.

The young man shrugged his shoulders and said, "I knew that my aunt was so careless, so I didn't say it, I said Abby, my aunt is not in good health, and you pushed her out, that's your own problem, if something goes wrong, don't regret it!"

Abby wiped her reddened eyes and said, "Enough, Walter, you can say less! My mother is already like this, what do you want to do?!Do you want to her off?!"

Walter pursed his lips and said, "As for it, don't fight for the family property if you are not in good health! Life is more important than money, and if you have money and don't have your life to spend it, that's the biggest tragedy, if your aunt doesn't come, will we take back the White Hart Winery? If my aunt dies in the family council, it will be rumored outside that our council is ruthless and forced an elder to die......

Burst!

A mouthful of black blood spurted out of Catelyn's mouth, tilted her head to the side, and the person immediately wilted.

"Mom!" Abby exclaimed, immediately at a loss.

"Walter, shut up for me!" Brad turned his face and roared, expressing his dissatisfaction, he knew that his nephew was still a little anxious, and he wanted to piss Caitlin to death and let the family take back White Hart Manor, so that everyone could share another piece of cake.

Brad doesn't particularly care about Caitlin's life and death, after so many years of getting along, he has long understood that he and his sister are not all the way, she is closer to Thomas, which means that she is his potential opponent, but Brad values reputation very much, especially at this critical moment in front of him, he needs a high prestige, and he needs to get the broad support of the Pavel people to complete the smooth transfer and transition of power, in order to obtain the maximum benefits, because after this round of benefit distribution, it means that the new pattern of the Pavel family has been determined, and there will be no major changes in decades。

Therefore, Caitlyn can't die in the family, she can't make people think that she was forced to die by herself, she had better die on the road, or White Hart Manor, after all, Caitlyn has a good reputation in the family and has a group of supporters.

Brad tilted his head and nodded, and a middle-aged man walked forward quickly, probed Caitlyn's snort, checked it again, and said, "There's a faint breath, it's okay, you can't die." ”

Brad said to Abby, "Push your mother down to rest, and you can find someone to take her place in this meeting, and I recognize him as qualified to represent your mother in the exercise of elder rights." ”

Abby gestured to the side, and immediately stepped forward to a butler, carefully pushing Caitlyn out of her seat.

Then, Abby met Brad's gaze and sat down in Caitlin's place, she tried to hold back the tears and not let it flow, her eyes were full of stubbornness and perseverance, she said, "Mom just wants to fight for a deserved benefit for Charlie's brother, no matter how much, this is her greatest wish!"

Brad smiled, spread his hands, and said, "You are as stubborn as your mother, in that case, I won't say much, and everyone will decide." ”

After a pause, Brad knocked on the table and said, "Okay, now I declare the 916th meeting of the Pavel Family Council officially open......"

Before he could finish speaking, a dark shadow walked to the table, causing Brad to frown slightly.

Brad asked, "What's wrong?"

The dark shadow looked at Brad, and after getting permission, said, "Report to Mr. Brad, Charlie and Brian are here, blocked by the guards, and in addition, the Marquis of Costa has also arrived." ”

A word stirs up a thousand waves.

"Charlie?!, what is he going to do?"

"How did he get mixed up with Gosta?"

"How can this expelled waste still have the face to come back?!"

"Hey, hey, what a cat that smells fishy! Came when he heard we had a family meeting!

"Patriarch, I don't think he can be allowed to come in, he is not a Pavel now, let alone participating in the meeting, and he is not even qualified to observe!"

"yes! get him back! that little bastard is not welcome here!"

Brad raised his hand to stop the commotion in the hall and asked, "Did he come with Gosta?"

The dark shadow shook his head.

Brad smiled and said, "Thomas was killed, and Charlie, as his son, came to the family for a reason. It just so happens that some people have raised objections today, and I think it's time to make a decision!

This place is not suitable, they are not qualified to come in, let's go! Let's go up and see what this waste is up to!"

As he spoke, he said to the dark shadow, "You take them to the parlor, and we'll be there later!"

So, the group returned to the meeting room in a big way.

......

It can be said that this is the most neat gathering of family members Charlie has seen so far, and most of them are present except for his father, including many cousins who have been studying abroad for many years.

"Uncle Brad, long time no see. Charlie stood in front of Brad, looking at him with a smile on his face, while his son, Fred, hid in the crowd with a grim look in his eyes.

"It didn't take long! Why? You want to come back today? Didn't I say it! You've been expelled, and you're not welcome here!"

"I remember that in the clan rules, the deposition of a clansman needs to be proposed by the patriarch and voted on in the family council to decide, and the acting head of the family doesn't seem to have this right! ”

Brad smiled and said, "That's right, it just so happens that the family council has decided to hold the 916th meeting today, and you have less than an hour to take the title of Pavel, cherish it!"
