Chapter 679 Alienate Them One by One Clarence rejected him. âNo, they had a neutral stance and they decided everything based on the interest of the Beauvort family. They were already discontented with me. They are obviously on Jeanâs side as they even uphold Jeanâs position.â
Seren frowned as nothing worked for them.
âWe need to do something. We canât let Jean take action on us.â
Clarence pondered for a moment.
âI think the biggest breakthrough is Joseph and Karl right now.â
Jonas and Seren looked puzzled.
âWhy them? Jean wouldnât listen to them!â
Clarence smirked. âWeâre not going to ask them to plead for us. Joseph is loyal to Jean these years, but I donât believe that he didnât have the slightest thought to be the head of the family. As for Karl, he had always made some moves for the position. We will have the advantage if we can alienate them.â
Seren was a little skeptical, âKarl didnât make any statement today.â
âWhat do you know!â Clarence was impatient, âHeâs just sitting back and watching us fight while eyeing the position. He is most likely the person to become the next Head of the Beauvort family!â
âHeâs cunning!â Seren realized it now.
Clarence made arrangements to meet them.
Joseph arrived home shortly before Seren arrived.
âAunt Seren, please have a seat.â
Joseph was polite to her even though they had different stances in the family assembly.
Seren got straight to the point. âJoseph, Iâm sorry to bother you at this hour. Youâve seen everything that happened today. Iâm worried about what Jean is planning to do with me. Could you tell me something about it so I can be prepared for whatâs coming next?â
Joseph knew her intentions and he shook his head. âIâm not sure about it. Jean didnât tell me anything.â
Seren didnât believe him. âYou have the best relationship with Jean, how could you not know anything about it?â
âI wonât ask Jean about things that he hadnât mentioned about.â
Seren sighed. âSeems like youâre not close with him after all. Itâs a pity for you to work under him. Your ability is on par with himâ¦Joseph, be honest with me, have you ever thought of being the Head of the Beauvort family?â
Joseph didnât say anything.
Joseph got up after he finished speaking.
âItâs late, please go back. Please donât say these words to me in the future again.â
Serenâs stiffened. She had no choice but to leave.
After she left, Maya and Fabian came down from upstairs.
Maya could see that Joseph was upset. She comforted him, âSheâs gone. Donât be angry.â
Joseph was tired. âHow could it come to this? Weâre a family. Why did they have to deceive each other and make everyone uncomfortable? When will they understand that Jean is unshakable with his abilities?â
Fabian felt the same way. âUncle Jean had been tolerant toward them over the years. They are too greedy and provoke Uncle Jean over and over again.â
âFabian, you have to remember this. No matter what happens in the future, you have to be on Uncle Jeanâs side. We will only gain the greatest benefits by doing this. Although he is quite cool, he is not heartless. As long as we were sincere and loyal to him, he wouldnât treat us badly.â
âI understand, Daddy.â
