heirloom!” Jeffree said in a cold voice.

Cyril’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he immediately fell to his knees.
He threw his arms around Jeffree’s leg, and sobbed, “Father, I’m sorry! I’ve realized my mistakes; I truly have this time!”

“Piss off!” Jeffree kicked Cyril to the ground, and continued, “I began my first foray into entrepreneurship at 12 years old, and I’ve had to be extremely careful with my words and actions along the way in order to accumulate such a massive estate.
You don’t ever think about striving for improvements, and all you do is wallow in complacency and cause trouble for me and the family no matter what you do.
If I leave the family in your hands, you’ll lead it to ruin sooner or later!”

Cyril’s face paled as he rolled up onto his knees again.
He didn’t dare to throw his arms around Jeffree’s leg again, so he slapped himself over and over again as he sobbed, “Father, I’ll change… I’ll definitely change! From this day forth, I won’t cause any more trouble for you, and I’ll strive to improve myself… I know the errors in my ways…”

Jeffree looked at Cyril with a cold expression.
Only after Cyril had slapped himself to the extent that his face was beginning to swell up did he continue, “Remember what happened today.
If I hear you doing anything to put the Moreton Family’s name into disrepute again, I’m going to kick you out of Moreton Manor!”

“Yes! Yes!” Cyril hurriedly nodded as he heaved an internal sigh of relief.

“Don’t think that you’re not off the hook quite now!” A cold smile appeared on Jeffree’s face as he pulled out a thick accounts book from one of the nearby shelves, and slammed it onto the table as he said, “These are the account books of the businesses you’ve been handling in the past few years.
You thought that you could swindle me by manipulating the figures in these account books, yet you failed to realize the accountant always keeps two copies of the same account book!

“I’m not going to punish you for all of the money you’ve taken from those businesses in these past few years, but from this day forth, I’m taking back all of those businesses from you.
Kerry’s Forge has been making neither profits nor losses in the past two days; I’m giving you 20 days from now to make it a profitable business.
If the money on the forge’s account exceeds that of the Blue Suede Textiles Shop, then I’ll return all of these businesses to you.
If the Blue Suede Textiles Shop has more money on their account by the end of the 20 days, then I’ll give all of these businesses to Gloria.”

Cyril’s expression was quite strained, but he still gritted his teeth and nodded at the sight of Jeffree’s implacable look.
“Yes.”

“Don’t think about playing any dirty little tricks.
If you can’t even beat a woman fair and square, then you’re not worthy of inheriting the Moreton Family.” Jeffree looked at Cyril with a warning in his eyes before exiting the room.

“Gasp…” Cyril slowly rose to his feet with a hand over his cheek.
He laid both hands on the desk and looked at the accounts book with a twisted expression as he murmured to himself, “You’ve never trusted me, old man.
Even that little brat, Scheer, has already inherited the Buffett Family, yet you’re making me fight over this position with a little girl…”

“Princess! Princess…”

Firis rushed into a spacious cave, and caught sight of Irina squatting down in front of the Tree of Life, seemingly in the process of starting a fire.
Firis’ footsteps faltered as she sniffed the air, and she asked, “Princess, are you burning something?”

Irina was holding a tree branch with a serious look on her face as she replied, “I’m making roast chicken.
Alex loved my roast chicken in the past.
When I find them, I’m going to cook roast chicken for them every single day.”

Firis looked at the roast chicken on the branch, which had almost been roasted into an unrecognizable chunk of charcoal already.
With a complex look on her face, she asked, “Are you really going to do that?”
