Tina had already changed out of her clothes when she was at the hospital and into a black dress, exuding a sense of dangerous aura.
Even Neymar was standing obediently behind her at this moment, with a serious look on his face. He was not as gentle as he had been in the sanatorium.
Seeing Tina's appearance, everyone's faces changed one after another and greeted respectfully. "Madam."
"What, thought I'd been buried six feet under already? Coveting my position?" Tina's voice was sharp, as cold as the blade cutting through the skin.
Apparently Tina was not only in a high position in the family, but also very dignified. When they heard her voice, everyone's expression changed in an instant.
Even the arrogance of the Second Elder disappeared in an instant, like a mouse fleeing from a cat.
"Madam, you've recovered? Such good news, God bless us," one of the men said hurriedly.
The icy touch on Tina's face didn't change at all. "If
I didn't, were you planning on burying my daughter as well?"
"Of course not! How would we ever dare? We have nothing but the utmost respect for Trace."
"We'll get to that later. As for you, Second Elder, did you just say Rocco should be the family head. I wonder since when you became the one calling shots around this house."
Tina had launched an attack against the Second Elder as soon as she came in, which was quite normal given the fact that she had successfully kept a leash on him over the years.
"Madam, you misunderstood. It was Great Elder and the others who didn't keep their promise. They cheated and won. There's no glory in that. That was what I meant."
"Cheat and no glory? Well, let me ask you, what's the conditions for the selection of the head of my family?" Tina asked coldly. The Second Elder did not dare to meet her eyes.
"It will be inherited by the daughter of the family head."
"This has been the rule for hundreds of years. As for me, I've lived in the hospital for some days only because I'm not feeling very well. Wouldn't you say it's too much of a rush to prepare for something not due until I'm in a casket?"
It is already a matter of course for my daughter to inherit the position of the family head. What right do you have to decide how the head of the family should be elected? Even if Rocco did get the contract, my daughter would still be the family head. Now, I ask you and I only ask you once, do you have any objections?"
Tina's voice pierced through everyone's eardrum. Everyone was scared by her cold aura and whoever dared to make a sound before was now as quiet as a cicada in winter.
The family head had the lives of each family member in her hands, not to mention the people could be sitting here merely because they were parts of the family.
The dividends they got were completely decided by Tina. Crossing her would be as good as cutting their ways of life out. The only reason they'd been making some moves was that Tina had not been in her prime recently.
On the grounds that Tina would not be cured, the Second Elder persuaded them to support Rocco to take the position and promised them more dividends at the end of the year. Out of greed, they agreed to it.
There were also people like the Great Elder who had never changed their loyalty. The war between the two sides had never ceased. It only got even more fierce after Tina went into a coma.
At that time, the Great Elder could only entrust the company to Rocco to operate, which was exactly what the Second Elder wanted. What he did not expect was the sudden appearance of Tracey.
The Second Elder also raised his head and did not know what Tina was going to do. He only saw several books in Tina's hands.
"These are the accomplishments of Tracey in the past four years. There are two companies under her name, and they started from nothing and have no backers."
"The one in Country S has already been listed. The company she started at home had already developed into a unicorn as well, a miracle, some tend to say."
"She is young, but I can assure you that she has experienced more hardship than most of the people sitting here, and she has a hidden identity."
"What do you mean by hidden identity?"
"She's Do the jewelry designer. I believe that even those who don't know jewelry design have heard of this name. She's known as the goddess of creation and is admired by quite a lot of people."
Well, I'd like to know how many of you here dare to say you can outdo her. And when I say outdo, I don't mean just in one industry but in multiple ones as she has done. If anyone thinks he or she can do that, come forward now!"
"Since the Second Elder is so concerned about the family, how do you like this proof for her ability?" Tina asked indifferently.
Everyone had thought that Tracey was a paper tiger, not expecting her to have accomplished so much at such a young age.
Even Rocco, who was much capable than others sitting in the room, was no match for Tracey.
"She's the DO? My daughter loves her design."
