Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 5208

Married at First Sight - Married at First Sight Chapter 5208       

“Long Ruoyu is too arrogant. She hasn’t even seen the young master’s true face, how could she possibly fall in love so easily? She’s just using pursuing him as a pretext to get close to him, wanting to pull off his mask and see his true face.” 

“Long Tuo’s people all suspect that the young master is the person they’ve been searching for for thirty years, but they just can’t be sure because they can’t see his true face.” 

“Assassins try to assassinate the young master from time to time. Who sent those assassins? It was Long Tuo. He’s still a bit inferior to his father.” 

Long Ting was silent for a moment before saying, “Why do many large families let their direct descendants take the lead? It’s not just because they are the eldest sons of the main wife, but also because they are smart and capable.” 

“Their genes are too strong. Every generation has one person who is particularly powerful, that is the chosen successor to the family head.” 

“While the collateral branches are always a little weaker in all aspects, it’s not that there aren’t any capable ones among them, but each generation is worse than the last. Occasionally, one generation is a little more capable, but they can never break the family’s strict rules.” 

“You know about the Farrel family of Jiangcheng, right? It’s the Farrel family that Sonny’s mother is currently managing. In that family, the head of the family is always a daughter from the direct line.” 

“If the head of the family has several daughters, the eldest daughter takes over. It’s strange how their family always seems to inherit the best genes; the other daughters are always a little less fortunate.” 

“To ensure the family’s continued prosperity, their ancestors established rules that must be followed generation after generation.” 

“The ancestors also foresaw that collateral branches might develop ambition, jealousy, and resentment, eventually harming their own people. To protect the head of the family’s power and position, they, like my ancestors, implemented these rules.” 

“They have a private seal, a token, and a totem. Without these things, even if a collateral branch wipes out the direct line, they can’t truly take over the entire family; they can only sit in the position of acting head of the family.” 

“And the Long family ancestors, to ensure their descendants live a life of wealth, established rules that the Long family’s true core industries and core power only obey the orders of the true head of the family.” 

“They only recognize the family head’s token, not the person. Whoever has the token, they obey. Without the token, even if my father came back to life, they wouldn’t listen to him.” 

This is why, even after thirty years since Long Tuo’s father killed the entire family, he has only been an acting family head, unable to truly ascend to the top and become the true head of the Long clan. 

Long Tuo and his family cannot touch the core assets and wealth of the Long clan; transferring them is impossible, and swallowing them up is a pipe dream.
