Chapter 1007 Birthday Party (Part Three) (2/2)

”Lucia, nothing forcibly taken will ever be agreeable,”

Eleanor snapped impatiently at Lucia.

Even though Steven had not voiced out his feelings yet,

elt so ashamed of her daughter's actions.

Lucia's face was red with anger, but she didn't dare say anything more.

”Okay, everyone, calm down. They are just kids. Don't make a big deal of it. Queen Eleanor, please don't take it too seriously. Lucia indeed was wrong, but I believe her intentions was pure. She just wanted to make you happy,”

Adrian explained, trying to justify Lucia's actions.

”But isn't it wrong to let Callie live in Wang Village?”

Justifying Lucia's actions may be Adrian's initial objective for speaking up, but protesting the decision to let Carla live in Wang Village was his true intention.

According to the laws of Yu Sea City, only the heir to the matriarchy could be allowed to live in the Wang Village.

”Adrian, Callie is the eldest granddaughter of the Yu family. I don't see any problem in letting her stay there,”

Arthur replied to Adrian in a calm tone. Eleanor remained silent and merely listened to them.

”That's not right, of course. Andrea gave up her right to the matriarchy. She and her daughter have lost the right to inherit it. If someone should move in, then it should be Lucia,”

Adrian explained with a serious look.

”Adrian, we really can't be sure about that. Only Eleanor and the four district heads have the right to decide who could claim the position as the next matriarch. It's really not up to us,”

Arthur replied with a smile as he stroked his beard.

”You are right. Let's all listen to their opinions, then!” Adrian replied as he threw a glance at the head of one of the districts who was then seated at the other end of the hall.

Even if he couldn't make Steven stay, he made sure to get the agreement of two district leaders to side with Lucia.

Whatever happened today, he knew that he had to force Eleanor to appoint a new matriarch!
