Chapter 1228


    Moreover, they were at their wits'' end after Lord Moore had totally recovered from his terminal


    illness and was now as healthy as a middle-aged man. This meant that he would live for another ten


    to twenty years. 7


    Jasmine might be green and inexperienced now, but with the dedication and hope Lord Moore


    ced on her, as well as his protection and security, it was no doubt that Jasmine would be able to


    establish herself as the reliable head of the family in a few years'' time. 2


    By that time, it would be very difficult to overthrow her.


    It was a well-known fact from history that whenever the noble dynasties were vying to im the


    throne, the best time for an insurgency was when the new emperor was on the throne with a weak


    foundation of power. 5


    For example, Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty rose to rebellion against his nephew, the Jianwen


    Emperor, who had recently ascended the throne, and sessfully overthrew the newly-elected


    emperor.


    However, their current problem was that Jasmine was not the Jianwen Emperor.


    When the Jianwen Emperor ascended the throne, Zhu Di’s father, Zhu Yuanzhang, was already


    dead. If Zhu


    Yuanzhang were alive, Zhu Di would not have seeded in his insurgency. 1


    Now that Lord Moore was alive and well, it had put a damper on Reuben and Tyler.


    They had nothing up their sleeves to topple Lord Moore''s decision, so they could only stand back


    for the time being and secretly observe the situation for their next strike. 7


    Upon seeing Jasminee in, Lord Moore smiled delightfully and said, "Oh, our new head of the


    family i s home! Come, Jasmine, take the main seat!"


    Jasmine had thought that only her grandfather was waiting for her. She did not expect to see the


    entire family in the living hall. More astonishingly, her grandfather would give up the main seat for


    her, which made her a little bbergasted. 7


    Jasmine hurriedly shook her hand and said, "Oh no, Grandpa, it''s better for you to sit at the main


    seat. I''ll just sit next to you." 5


    Lord Moore smiled and said, "How can I sit at the main seat when I''m no longer the head of the


    family? I would be entrenching your position without merit.” 6


    He stood up, pulled Jasmine to the main seat, and had her sit down, beforeughing cheerfully.


    "God bless the Moore family, not only do we have a divine figure like Master Wade to assist us, but


    we also have an outstanding descendant like Jasmine to guide the family toward greater glory. I am


    confident that in a


    few years, our family will strive by leaps and bounds." 6


    The other family members apuded enthusiastically except for Tyler and Reuben.


    They had figured out the reasoning behind it. 5


    They knew that Jasmine must be deeply fond of Charlie, otherwise, Charlie would never have


    helped her so many times. Additionally, he even gave her two Rejuvenating Pills. 1


    One Rejuvenating Pill was sold to Travis Lane for two billion dors, so the actual value for two pills


    was at least four billion, right? 1Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Now that Jasmine had be the head of the family, Charlie was bound to help her even more in


    the future, so their family would definitely go towards a prosperous future with Charlie’s help and


    support. 5


    Lord Moore felt immensely relieved when he saw everyone’s enthusiastic reaction.


    What he feared most was that his decision of handing over the position to Jasmine would be


    against popr views. If anyone found a pretext for rising in rebellion against Jasmine, she would


    be in big trouble.


    Fortunately, she had the blessing of Master Wade on one side and him as the protector and


    moderator on the other, so she would definitely be able to perform wondrously as the head of the


    family.


    With this in mind, Lord Moore smiled graciously andmented, "From what I see, it won’t be long


    before our family bes the number one family in the South Region. If Jasmine has the luck to


    marry Master Wade and be his wife, it will be such a great honor to our family that we will soar to


    our great sess-the sky’s the limit!"


    Tyler, who remained unusually quiet, blurted with a worried face, "Father, don''t forget that we''ve


    offended Dn Koch today. We don''t know what the Koch family will do to us next!"


    Lord Moore growled coldly, "With Master Wade on our side, I’m not afraid even if we offend Lord


    Koch, let alone the third son of their family!”
