Chapter 778: Let’s start
"The head of the family has arrived!"
The conversation at the table immediately stopped, and everyone turned to gaze at the person at the end of the long table. All they saw was a man grinning from ear to ear, clearly aware that he was one of the few members of Zoren’s supporters in the family.
"I guess the First Branch is getting more arrogant than I thought," William snorted, smirking at Lloyd meaningfully. "The head is already here, but the young master from the First Branch seems not to care about all of that."
He raised an eyebrow. "But then again, what else can we do? He’s from the First Branch, correct? When something happens with the main branch, they’re the first in line."
Lloyd snorted but didn’t respond. He cast a glance at the woman beside him, only to see her shake her head slightly before casting the Second Branch a sharp glare.
"Where is he, Uncle?" the woman asked quietly to Lloyd as she rose from her seat to welcome Zoren.
Lloyd didn’t answer, but instead, he looked around. "He’s here just now."
"What is that guy doing?" she hissed under her breath. "Zoren Pierson is already here, but he still hasn’t come back."
Dean’s supporters in the family weren’t pleased with the path Dean was currently taking. They also found him slow, as William was already getting all the spotlight. It was only a matter of time before the Second Branch outshone the First Branch.
Hierarchy was important in this family, but it wasn’t just about it — it was also about achievements. Although hierarchy played a significant role, if someone wasn’t exceptional enough or didn’t make a significant contribution to the family and company, their title was just that — a title without value.
