The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 679
Clarence rejected him. "No, they had a neutral stance and they decided everything based on the interest of the Beauvort family. They were already discontented with me. They are obviously on Jean’s side as they even uphold Jean’s position.”
Seren frowned as nothing worked for them.
“We need to do something. We can’t let Jean take action on us.”
Clarence pondered for a moment.
"I think the biggest breakthrough is Joseph and Karl right now."
Jonas and Seren looked puzzled.
"Why them? Jean wouldn’t listen to them!"
Clarence smirked. “We’re not going to ask them to plead for us. Joseph is loyal to Jean these years, but I don’t believe that he didn’t have the slightest thought to be the head of the family. As for Karl, he had always made some moves for the position. We will have the advantage if we can alienate them.”
Seren was a little skeptical, "Karl didn't make any statement today."
"What do you know!" Clarence was impatient, "He's just sitting back and watching us fight while eyeing the position. He is most likely the person to become the next Head of the Beauvort family!”
“He’s cunning!” Seren realized it now.
Clarence made arrangements to meet them.

Joseph arrived home shortly before Seren arrived.
"Aunt Seren, please have a seat.”
Joseph was polite to her even though they had different stances in the family assembly.
Seren got straight to the point. “Joseph, I’m sorry to bother you at this hour. You’ve seen everything that happened today. I’m worried about what Jean is planning to do with me. Could you tell me something about it so I can be prepared for what's coming next?”
Joseph knew her intentions and he shook his head. “I’m not sure about it. Jean didn’t tell me anything.”
Seren didn’t believe him. “You have the best relationship with Jean, how could you not know anything about it?”
“I won’t ask Jean about things that he hadn’t mentioned about.”
Seren sighed. “Seems like you’re not close with him after all. It’s a pity for you to work under him. Your ability is on par with him…Joseph, be honest with me, have you ever thought of being the Head of the Beauvort family?”
Joseph didn't say anything.
Seren probed, "The position should have been yours as you’re the eldest son. Are you willing to work under Jean for the rest of your life?”
“Aunt Seren, it’s not about willingness to be the head of the family, Jean had the ability and talent that no one else had. It is right for him to take the position. There’s no way I could do the same as Jean if I were to sit in that position. I could never lead Beauvort Group to the point where it is today.”
Joseph got up after he finished speaking.
“It’s late, please go back. Please don't say these words to me in the future again.”
Seren's stiffened. She had no choice but to leave.
After she left, Maya and Fabian came down from upstairs.
Maya could see that Joseph was upset. She comforted him, “She’s gone. Don’t be angry.”
Joseph was tired. "How could it come to this? We’re a family. Why did they have to deceive each other and make everyone uncomfortable? When will they understand that Jean is unshakable with his abilities?”
Fabian felt the same way. “Uncle Jean had been tolerant toward them over the years. They are too greedy and provoke Uncle Jean over and over again.”
“Fabian, you have to remember this. No matter what happens in the future, you have to be on Uncle Jean’s side. We will only gain the greatest benefits by doing this. Although he is quite cool, he is not heartless. As long as we were sincere and loyal to him, he wouldn’t treat us badly.”
“I understand, Daddy.”
Seren frowned as nothing worked for them.
“We need to do something. We can’t let Jean take action on us.”
