Chapter 1634
“Rick, why did you invite us here?” Donovan Scammell, the oldest of the elders, asked curiously.
The other elders looked at Rick curiously as well.
“Donovan, let’s be honest! Ever since Iris came back, Patrick had first given over a pharmaceutical company under our family name to Leon, and then had even sided with Leon when he broke Nigel’s legs, not punishing Leon at all! I feel like he might be getting old and losing touch with a lot of things. He’s no longer suited to be the head of our family! So, I asked all of you here to consider giving the position of the family head to someone else!” Rick said calmly.
Based on the rules of the family, the elders of the Scammells had the right to revoke the power of the family
head.
He wanted to gain their support this time because he could use their power to revoke Patrick’s position as the family head. Then, he would be able to take over without any issues!
On the other hand, the elders controlled all of the forces related to the Scammells outside of the direct
descendants.
Only with the support of the elders would he be able to control the family firmly, stopping any internal issues or conflicts!
“What?”
The five elders were shocked to hear that and could not believe their ears.
Even though Rick and Eugene had tried to take over the family during Patrick’s banquet, it was only because Damian had been crippled. Eugene merely wanted the position of the family’s heir and not the position of the family head.
That was still within reason!
However, Rick was actually after the family head position at that moment. It was no longer as simple as a matter of inheritance. He was clearly trying to stage a coup!
“Rick, surely you aren’t trying to take over?!” Donovan had an unhappy look on his face as he spoke.
The fact that he did not directly accuse Rick of trying to stage a coup was already very polite!
“So what if I am? I’ll give you all one last chance. Either you support me or continue supporting Patrick! It’s up to you to make the choice!” Rick said coldly.
The five elders tried to advise Rick against staging a coup.
