“Tell me, what reward do you want?” Thierry asked as he looked at the rest.
Since the gift was effective, the Lopez and Black families were delighted.
Cora was happy too.
After exchanging a glance with each other, Harry and Meredith said, “Mr. Langston, we only wish for the Lopez and Black families to be part of the Great Family of Westford! From now on, all of our generations will follow the Great Family of Westford and your every instruction!”
This was the two families’ greatest wish.
If fulfilled, the Lopez and Black families would rise to greatness.
After all, they would be part of the Great Family of Westford.
Thierry agreed instinctively, “Okay, I agree! From now on, you’ll be part of the Great Family of Westford. Someone, announce the news to the rest right now!”
“Really? Thank you, Mr. Langston! The Lopez and Black families hereby pledge our allegiance to you!”
The members of the Lopez and Black families fell to their knees and thanked Thierry profusely.
Now that the elders have managed to bring their families to the peak of success, their greatest wish had been fulfilled.
Their efforts had not gone to waste.
However, at that moment, Judy tugged on Thierry.
“What’s wrong, Judy?” he asked.
“Grandpa, let’s not make such a rash decision… We need to consider it…” she advised.
Thierry bellowed furiously, “What? Can’t I even decide on such a minor matter?”
Judy panicked. “Grandpa, have you forgotten about the current situation that the Great Family of Westford is facing?”
Thierry’s body trembled when he arrived at the shocking revelation.
She’s right! I’m not the master of the Great Family of Westford anymore. Although this is but a minor matter, I still have to inform him about it.
Thierry smacked his forehead and exclaimed, “I forgot! Wait, don’t announce it yet. We need to discuss the matter of the Lopez and Black families joining the Great Family of Westford extensively first.”
“Huh?”
Thierry’s sudden change in mind surprised the Lopez and Black families, including Cora.
But Thierry agreed to it so easily just now! Why did he suddenly change his mind? From Judy’s tone, it sounds like he can’t make the decisions now. What’s going on?
Even Cora was curious.
After all, this matter should have been a piece of cake for Thierry to handle.
Hence, there was no reason for him to discuss it extensively.
Unbeknownst to them, the master of the Great Family of Westford was now Levi.
As such, the decision was not for Thierry to make.
“What’s wrong, Thierry?” asked Cora quickly.
If he failed to follow through with his promise, it would be humiliating for both him and the Great Family of Westford.
“Stop asking! It’s none of your business!”
Thierry left angrily with Judy behind him, leaving behind the Lopez and Black families.
They exchanged glances with each other, completely clueless about what was going on.
“What’s happening, Cora? Did we offend Mr. Langston?” asked Meredith.
Cora explained, “No. There are a lot of ancient families and factions within the Great Family of Westford, so there are many strict rules to follow. It’s only natural that an assessment must be held before your families can join. Only those who are qualified can be a part of the Great Family of Westford. Hence, Thierry probably went to discuss it with the rest.”
What Cora said was actually just a random excuse she thought up.
Truth be told, she did not know what was going on either.
“Grandpa, I think that we should discuss this with him. If he finds out and blames us for it, it’ll be troublesome,” reminded Judy when they reached a secluded area.
“Okay, let’s look for him now.”
Since Thierry was determined to accept the medicine, he had to agree to the Lopez and Black families’ request.
Otherwise, he would be utterly humiliated.
