Chapter 442 - Laura’s Growth (2/2)

Laura rolled her eyes. ”As the family head, don't I have the authority to change rule? I'm sure that it exists in the book of rules.”

The elders were not walking dictionary, who in the world would memorize them all? Of course, Laura did not memorize them all too, but she asked Kanae to help her search for loopholes. Because of that, she was all prepared to answer all of their bashing to her.

”The time has changed and so are the rules for the city. If Nali Family wants to grow, we have to move on and no longer tied up by the unnecessary and burdening rules. Rather than letting things go to waste, it'll be better to use the property to earn more money for the family.”

The elders wanted to rebut her again, but before they spoke out, a clapping sound was heard.

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

”Well said, young lady,” one of the elders spoke up. He looked quite old, but his figure exuded the word 'authority'. The other elders immediately shut up the moment this man spoke up. ”Can you really bring Nali Family to our glory?”

”I don't know the future, but I'll surely do my best!” Laura answered with vigor.

The elder nodded his head. He turned around to face the others. ”As elders, our job is to make sure that the family head didn't do wrong in her decision. I'll support our new leader, but I hope that you will not disappoint us, young lady.”

Laura nodded her head strongly.

The other elders looked towards each other and decided to not talk anymore. This one elder was the grand elder of Nali Family. If not because he refused to be the one leading, he would surely be at the very front. His achievement was something that even they looked up to.

”This is the second time he talks for a young generation, right?” one of the elders whispered.

”Really? I don't remember when he first speaks up for them. He hates the young generation because of their naivety and idiocy.”

The elder nodded his head. He could faintly remember that this one grand elder spoke up for a youngster before. He didn't really remember the detail because it was only one occasion, but it was a scene that embedded deep in his mind.

”Show us that you're worthy of us letting you keep the place, and I won't force you to give it up for the family,” another elder spoke up. ”That's what he said to that youngster before.”

”Who?”

”I don't know. I don't even remember that person. She's just one of the branch families who stand against Frank at that time. None of us wants to get on Frank's bad side, so no one speaks up but him at the very end,” the elder shrugged.

The elder looked towards each other. From what they knew, there was barely anyone who dared to fight against Frank. However, they truly couldn't remember any of them. Most of them would have a miserable life in a matter of days of weeks after all, so they were not worth mentioning.

At this time, the grand elder reached his car and beckoned the driver to drive him back home.

The driver noticed the elder's happy expression. ”Sir, is there anything that makes you very happy today?”

”Yes, I see an interesting youngster today,” the grand elder answered. He only tagged along because the other elders persuaded him, but upon seeing Laura, he could faintly remember the young little girl that he encountered a few years ago. They have the same determination and aura.

”The youngster is lucky to meet you.”

”Not at all,” the grand elder chuckled. ”I'm just giving a chance for her. Whether she can survive like her sister or not, it'll all depend on her own power.”

The driver was startled. ”Her sister?”

The grand elder nodded. How can he not notice their similarities when it was placed right in front of him? They were basically a mirror to each other. Their stubbornness was equally similar despite the different in the skill they had showed so far. He had helped the older sister a bit in the past and that young girl managed to survive and won.

Now, he wanted to know whether this young girl would be able to survive too and fulfill her words or not.
