The CEO’s Woman - Chapter 445

While Jiang Yue and Fu Jin were having a harmonious and happy atmosphere, the Vercello family was the exact opposite.

The atmosphere in the Vercello Ancestral house was hostile. It was heavy and oppressive. No one was talking as everyone in the Circular mahogany table had their own thoughts.

“Brother, I think it’s best to investigate Miss Jiang Yue. She was the only one who had the guts to do this to us. She is but a fish in a pond. She is ignorant and careless. She is the only one who would mindlessly offend us.” A middle-aged man in brown polo shirt spoke. If one would look carefully, you can see that this man is seventy percent identical to Peter.

“My granddaughter had nothing to do with this,” Natalie said, her face was calm but her voice revealed her confidence with a tinge of being proud.”She would not do this to her own family.”

“Family that she does not recognize.” Someone corrected. It was a man with a white goatee. His face was gentle, but this does not hide the cruelty in his eyes. “That woman attacked both the Vercello’s and Ruiz in one night. Does she want to have both of our families her enemy?”

Natalie turned silent at the first Elder’s words. Recognized? She scoffed inwardly. Her granddaughter would never have recognized a group of murderers as her family. Natalie Vercello had been watching Jiang Yue since she was born and she was sure that the child didn’t tolerate evil. With the things that she had heard about the Vercello’s, Natalie was sure that Jiang Yue does not have a good impression towards them.

Moreover, if Jiang Yue dug enough and knew that the Vercello’s were the one responsible for what happened to her mother, Wang Ruo, then she will hate the Vercello’s even more. Natalie was also very clear of what Jiang Yue could do. This attack was something that Jiang Yue was capable of. But she would never accept this in front of anyone in this family full of venomous snakes.

Natalie was laughing inwardly as she looked at everyone’s sullen state. Her granddaughter’s way was very high profile. However, this does not mean that she had any objections about this matter. She would even love it if Jiang Yue would destroy this despicable family as soon as possible.

“We don’t have any evidence that this is Jiang Yue’s doing,” said Peter while eyeing his uncle and father. “This is nothing but an assumption. I think she would not be that stupid to attack us.”

No one answered Peter, however, these words somehow puzzled a few people. Especially the man sitting next to Peter. The man clearly had the look of an eastern man, however, the nobility that this person exudes is something that is unique and could only be found in the west.

“I have a suggestion.” The man spoke.

“What is it?” Antonio Pardi asked.

“Natalie is old. Let’s give the new generation the opportunity. Have Jiang Yue marry my son and let us declare her as the new Matriarch.”

His words earned gasps and a couple of frowns from everyone. Especially Antonio. “Mr. Quan, this is not the time to talk about marriage and who will become the next matriarch.”

“What do you mean? Jiang Yue is attacking us so we could declare her as the Matriarch. This was the greatest show of power. That was the only reason why she would do this. Do you think she was doing this to destroy us? We are powerful and had been around for centuries. She knows she is not capable of destroying us” Mr. Quan said.

His son Quan Lei had been looking for an opportunity to approach Jiang Yue, yet he always failed because of Fu Jin. If he could have the back of the Vercello Elders and have them, support his plan to kill Fu Jin, then his son would surely succeed in wooing the woman.

“I actually agree with Mr. Quan.” The first elder with a goatee said. “This could be the only reason why she is attacking us. She wanted to have our attention. Let’s give it to her.”

“The process of choosing the next matriarch was always about capability. It’s survival of the fittest. Right now… the two strongest candidates that we have are Mia and Jiang Yue. We could have them fight for it. See who is stronger between the two.”

“Mia Pardi” Natalie sneered while eyeing Antonio. “Aside from her maternal family and some favors from the elders, what else could she offer to us?”

“Still, Mia is the second best candidate that we have.” Antonio reasoned. “If what you are saying is the truth… then let’s start the fight for the Matriarch position.”

“Jiang Yue cannot join without marrying the person what she is set to marry. In short, she could not become a matriarch without marrying my son.” Mr. Quan said. “However, since Jiang Yue already have Fu Jin then… the only thing that we can do is end him.”
