Chapter 1014

Chapter 1014 New Head of the Clan Eleanor smiled and had a short chat with Liam. “Then, I’ll head off to the arena first. Don’t want to keep Mother waiting.”

Then, she left.

Subsequently, everyone entered and took their seats one by one as the host began his speech, after which Tanya took over.

She announced that the ascension ceremony had officially started and that Eleanor would be succeeding her.

However, at this moment, a few elders among the attendees about two rows below the platform suddenly stood up.

“The successor should be Veronica, not Eleanor.”

“Yeah, it should be Veronica.”

“Veronica is the rightful head of the clan.”

“Kill Eleanor.”

The murmurs of protest started to grow among the attendees.

At this time, there was a loud noise followed by rounds of gunshots outside the arena, causing a commotion.

Just as everyone stood up to check out the source of the noise, the eight entrances of the arena were forcibly breached by people under Crayson’s leadership.

The guards rushed forward to defend the place, resulting in a chaotic scene.

Someone on the rostrum suddenly yelled, “Ahh! Princess Eleanor has been shot! Somebody help!”

“Hurry up and protect the princess!”

“Protect the queen!”

“Capture the insurgents!”

“Doctor! Quickly, call a doctor!”

The place was already in chaos when more and more people suddenly arrived at the scene, making it a complete mess.

When Liam heard that Eleanor was shot, he became tense and immediately rushed to the changing room to open the door to where Eleanor was.

This was the reason why he gave her the vest in the first place.

The vest was still in the changing room, meaning that Eleanor never wore it.

To be precise, she intentionally chose not to wear it.

Outside, Eleanor’s men confronted those whom Crayson led.

The two sides exchanged fire, which gave rise to a chaotic confrontation.

Dominik’s people tried to block the so-called outsiders to buy time until he heard a voice on the earpiece that he wore. “Your Highness, Princess Eleanor is no longer breathing.”

“Are you sure?” Dominik found it hard to believe.

“C*cksure. The head of the clan has always been guarding Princess Eleanor. The doctor checked her pulse and found that she has lost her pulse. The two bullets went through her heart, killing her instantly!”

The other party said with absolute certainty.

Dominik sneered. “Awesome. That’s excellent news.”

With the expression of a champion, he waved his hand. “Everyone, follow me inside!”

The moment he gave his order, everyone entered the arena together to fight with Crayson’s men while Zac’s subordinates arrived to provide support for Dominik.

Meanwhile, over at the other side, Matthew had everyone gathered at Hayley’s villa.

As most of the people had been transferred to the palace by Crayson, the huge villa lacked strict surveillance and manpower, which made it easy for Matthew to sneak inside. Then, he subdued Hayley, Lamia, and the rest of the people while successfully saving Veronica.

Veronica looked at Hayley, whose limbs were bound, and asked, “How about my adoptive parents?

Where are they?”

Hayley shook her head. “Beats me.”

She was calm and did not intend to tell Veronica the truth. What was even more surprising was her question. “Your memories aren’t sealed?”

Veronica’s lips curved upward into a smile. “Sorry to have disappointed you.”

“Why would I be? You have been long worthless to me. The new head of the clan can only be Randy.”

Randy Elrod. That would be Randy Larson then.

Due to Tiffany’s death, Veronica refused to be constrained by Crayson and Hayley.

After discussing with several elders, Hayley felt that she shouldn’t be obsessed with Veronica if she wanted to fight for the position of the head of the clan.

She was better off leaving the position for Randy instead. After all, he was her loyal son.
