Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 919
And something important it was. Knowing full well that the Fenderson family had almost been wiped out due to his carelessness, Bryson was going to take responsibility for the incident no matter what.

After things calmed down a bit, Bryson thought about how they were nearly eliminated by a vassal family. If all that could happen under his rule, then he admitted that he was getting old and unreliable. The fact that he couldn’t defend himself without help was further proof that it was finally time for change.

It explained why the mood of the Fenderson family meeting this time was so different. Everyone had their heads lowered as they waited for Bryson to speak.

Coughing to break the silence and get everyone’s attention, Bryson cleared his throat before saying, “I… have some very important news to announce today… This announcement will also be the very last decision that I’ll make as the head of this family!”

Hearing that, everyone lifted their heads as they looked at the old man.

“Listen closely, for the next head of the Fendersons will be Jasmine! I’m far too old now, and though Second and Third are both equally mature and reliable, I’m afraid they’re far too complacent. They’re both more suited to be supporters than leaders, not that there’s anything wrong with that. Regardless, after careful consideration, I truly believe that Jasmine will be the one who will help develop and recover our family’s glory!” announced Bryson.

As soon as his declaration ended, the entire meeting hall was abuzz with people discussing their opinions aloud. Jasmine herself hadn’t expected the meeting to be about her.

Standing up, she then said, “While I’m honored to have been selected, I simply can’t take the position of head, grandpa! I’m still far too young and there’s still a lot for me to learn. I’m certain that I won’t be able to handle the position of leader yet. What more, up till this point, there haven’t been any female leaders in the Fenderson family!” replied Jasmine who honestly felt she wasn’t ready for such responsibility.

In response, Bryson simply raised a single hand, prompting everyone to go silent.

“There’s no need to discuss this any further. My decision is final. While I’m sure that you’re doubtful about the whole thing, I believe in you, Jasmine. I believe that even if you were to marry the person you love, you’ll still end up becoming an excellent family head. As for the rest of you, you should already know by now that I’d never appoint someone to be leader without a valid reason! Speaking of being a leader, I’ll be granting you your first long-term task now, Jasmine! I see a lot of potential among those from your uncles’ third and fourth generations. From today onward, you’re responsible for training up the third and fourth generations to become better leaders!” concluded Bryson.

Upon hearing that, everyone started calming down again.

They were honestly most worried about the fact that the Fenderson would have to change their family surname once Jasmine got married to another person and bore a child. However, with Bryson sounding so sure with his final decision, the crowd was swept with a new determination.

“I… I fully support the decision to let Miss Jasmine be the head of the Fendersons!” shouted one of the family members.
