Chapter 869 The Head Of The Mill Family
Instinctively, Donovan struggled to pry her off. However, Queenie lowered her voice and warned, “You
know how important it is for me to be the head of the family, so do well to cooperate with me.”
Donovan gritted his teeth, but in the end, he forced himself to y along with Queenie as they entered
thepound.
The Mill residence had been built a long time ago, but it had undergone a renovation a while ago.
Therefore, there were no cracks to be seen. Instead, it was as elegant as ever.
The Mills were in the drawing room in the main house.
Furthermore, distant rtives of the Mill family were there as well.
With a bright smile on her face and Donovan by her side, Queenie said, “Dad, I’m home.”
“You’re finally home.” Abraham Mill stood up and smiled at Donovan. “You must be Don.”
Donovan nodded. Then, with Queenie’s constant staring, he greeted, “Dad.”
“Yes, hello there!” Abraham eximed in delight before pulling Cornelius over to let the two young men
chat.
After a while, Queenie said, “Dad, Don has brought gifts for you all. Don, don’t just keep holding to
them. You can put them down.”
Donovan hummed in response and did as she said.
When Queenie’s aunts heard that they had gifts, they began showering Donovan with praises.
Like them, Cornelius and Abraham were satisfied with Donovan. The young man was tall, and he was
a university teacher who had graduated from Maxwell University. His future was a bright one.
“Come and sit,” Abraham said as he pulled a chair over.
After saying his thanks, Donovan sat down.
“No need for pleasantries. We’re a family. Queenie’s mother had passed on early, but I’m sure she’d be
delighted to see you too.” Abraham’s eyes slowly reddened as he spoke.
Queenie’s mother had died in a ne crash, and Abraham had been traumatized by it. From then on,
he had not taken a ne, nor did he ever leave Jadeborough.
That was why the Mill family’s power was weakening during his generation’s ruling.
Power was maintained with effort. Without visible effort, the family was doomed to copse.

That was why the Mills were in a hurry to find a new head of the family.
Donovan shed him a small consoling smile but said nothing otherwise.
Queenie then chuckled and said, “We wanted to say hi, but you know that we’ve been busy. Don and I
had been overwhelmed with silencing thoseizens and our marriage. Moreover, both of us have
busy jobs. That’s why it took us so long to meet you all.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m an easy-going person, and you know that,” Abraham said.
Feeling at ease, Queenie then looked around the drawing room and said, “Where’s the younger one?
Don found out that he was still studying, so he bought him a rather expensive pen.”
“It’s not the weekend, so he’s doing his revision right now,” Abraham said before standing up.
“Salvador, take Don on a trip around the house. Also, tidy up Queenie’s room and prepare a set of
toiletries for Don. Queenie, Cornelius,e with me to the study. I have something to say to the both
of you.”
Queenie tensed up.
Herees the highlight. Dad must be going to talk about the selection of the head of the family.
Queenie balled her fists. After ncing at Donovan, she then walked toward the study with Abraham.
The study was decorated with vintage decor, and the me in the diffuser was burning bright.
After Queenie’s mother died, Abraham no longer slept in the bedroom. Instead, he slept in the study
every night.
He had trouble sleeping. The only way he could sleep was through the use of aromatherapy.
“Since only the two of you are here, I’ll be direct with my words. Queenie, Cornelius, I’ve decided to
step down as the head of the family this year,” Abraham started. “However, I’d like to make a different
choice this time.”
