Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot
Chapter 1380 - Chapter 1380 346 What Kind of Person Is It _3

Chapter 1380: 346: What Kind of Person Is It! _3 Chapter 1380: 346: What Kind of Person Is It! _3 Thompson looked at Caleb, “Thank you, big brother.”

Caleb laughed, a glint of triumph in his eyes.

Thompson had always been superior to him since childhood.

But what did it matter?

Because she was a girl, she would never have the inheritance of their household.

Women had to rely on men to live.

This was an unchanging truth.

Elijah looked at Caleb and said in a low voice, “Are you that confident, big brother?”

Caleb snorted, “Otherwise, why wouldn’t I call you ‘big brother’?”

What did being the eldest son of the first wife mean?

Elijah looked at Caleb dismissively, “Brother, overconfidence is not good. Let’s wait for lawyer Eliot to read out the will.”

Caleb retorted, “No matter if we read it or not, the result is the same.”

Elijah remained silent.

Maxwell Eliot continued reading the will, “The Thompson Clan is a large family, and I have three sons and nine grandsons. My eldest grandson, Caleb, is courageous but lacks a tactical mind, and is not suitable for inheriting the family business…”

Upon hearing this, Caleb’s face turned pale as he slumped in defeat.

Brave but lacks a tactical mind.

Unsuitable for inheriting the family business?

What was happening?

Ava Kamani and Regan Thompson were stunned, their blood draining from their faces, almost passing out.

Neither of them had expected that Lady Thompson, who had always valued seniority, wouldn’t leave the position of inheritor to Caleb.

While some felt joy, others were in sorrow.

Elijah was suddenly full of life.

He had always known that he would be the one to inherit the leadership of the family.

Everyone else turned their eyes to Elijah.

After all, he was going to be the future head of the Thompson Clan.

Elijah looked at Caleb and said with a triumphed smirk, ” Brother, rest assured. After I become the head of the family, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. I am not a man who holds a grudge.”

There had always been a competitive relationship between the two of them. Now that Elijah was taking his place as the family head, he naturally wanted to smooth out their past grudges.

Not holding a grudge?

How could that be possible?

Elijah was not so magnanimous.

Old scores would be settled slowly.

After all, he was going to be the head of the Thompson Clan from now on.

At this, Caleb clenched his fists, veins popping on his face. But he still tried to remain calm.

This was not the time to lose his temper.

The reading of the will continued, “My second grandson, Elijah, is calculating but his narrow-minded. I fear he can’t bear a great responsibility! After deep thought, I’ve decided to hand over the authority of the head of the family to the youngest grandson, Thompson. Vicki is a child I watched grow up. She’s courageous and tactful. Even though she’s a girl, she is more exceptional than many boys.”

“I hope Thompson can lead the Thompson Clan to a new peak. Besides, I have one request for Viola, that is, she must not marry out. She can only draw in a husband, the future bloodline must also carry the surname Thompson. If Thompson insists on marrying out, the authority of the head of the family will be confiscated, and a fair competition will be carried out between the brothers, Caleb and Elijah.”

“…”

When the will was read, Maxwell Eliot moved to Thompson and started speaking again, “Miss Thompson, I hope you won’t disappoint Lady Thompson.”

“I will definitely not let her down.”

Maxwell Eliot then handed over Lady Thompson’s heirloom to Thompson, “This is the seal of the Thompson Clan, keep it safe.”

Thompson took the seal with both hands, “Thank you.”

“That’s my duty.”

Elijah sat there, completely stunned, as if he’d been struck by lightning.

How… how could this happen?

The heir turned out to be Thompson!

Thompson was just a girl!

How could this happen?

Zoe Fedener, who had been ready to be the wife of the Thompson Clan’s Lady Thompson, froze as well.

In her wildest dreams, she hadn’t imagined Lady Thompson would leave the position of heir to Thompson.

Zoe quickly recovered, pointing at Maxwell Eliot and shouted, “It’s fake! The will must be fake! Maxwell Eliot, you colluded with them, didn’t you! How could my mother allow a mere girl to be the heir!”

Ava Kamani also came to at this moment, sharing Zoe’s ire, asserted, “Yes! Zoe is right, the will is fake! You all must have conspired this together!”

Seeing this, Rosalind Rohr frowned deeply.

These two unreasonable women!

They are shameless.

Disgusting.

Just as Rosalind Rohr wanted to argue back, Thompson quietly held her hand.

After a moment, Thompson looked at Ava Kamani and Zoe Fedener, then began, “Aunts, I know that for a long time, the two of you have not approved of me because I am a girl. But what’s wrong with being female? You two are women too, do you look down on yourselves because of your gender?”

At this point, Thompson paused, “I am confident in leading the entire Thompson Clan to new heights, and I hope that my two aunts can witness my growth. If you have any questions about the will, you can consult the notary. I am sure my grandmother has already visited the notary.”
