There was an uproar in the meeting hall.

The elders were furious. This was the inheritance law that the Ross family had implemented for hundreds of years. Austin was digging up the roots of the Ross family.

Ahben's eyes moved slightly. She didn't expect Austin to do something she didn't dare to do.

Those who originally planned to support Austin began to waver again.

"Everyone, my mother is also a member of the Ross family. After she became the head of the family, she has always performed very well. It's not an exaggeration to say that she is a firefighter.

Everyone knows how difficult it has been for us in the past few years. Many big families have declared bankruptcy, and even evaporated and disappeared in the long river of history with the subprime mortgage crisis..."

Everyone agrees on this point. If Ahben hadn't stopped the elders, the Ross family's assets would have run out long ago. It can be said that Ahben is a woman who turned the tide in the disaster.

"Everyone here should have illegitimate children, right? Aren't they children of the Ross family?"

"You also hope to recognize them and inherit your business."

Many middle-aged people nodded. Illegitimate children grow up wildly, but they are better than spoiled heirs. They also want their illegitimate children to recognize their ancestors and obtain the inheritance rights openly.

Many of them also have daughters, and they also hope that their daughters can live a better life.

Even the elders themselves are a little hesitant. If the illegitimate children are allowed to return, their own line will be even stronger.

The old patriarch was a little impatient, and he appeared from behind the scenes:

"Shut up Austin, if women and illegitimate children have the right of inheritance, our Ross family's property will be more and more dispersed, how can we get along with..."

"Enough, you have retired, you have no right to speak here, and what I believe is that hard-working family members can lead the family to be more prosperous, and the waste lying under the shadow of the family should be starved to death!"

"You...you..."

The old man was obviously very angry and obviously could not agree with Austin's values.

But this statement was recognized by many people present. They all hoped that their property would be inherited by truly capable descendants, rather than to a prodigal son who eats and waits for death.

There are more choices, they prefer to choose outstanding illegitimate children!

But of course there are also people who strongly oppose it. They are the waste in Austin's mouth. What a joke, let the illegitimate children rob his property. Unless they are crazy, they will support Austin as the head of the family.

"Hmph, I won't argue with you, a bastard. Ahebben, announce the start of voting!"

The elders still felt that they had won. Austin was too naive. It was not easy for him to challenge secular values.

Besides, the entire elder council, except Ahebben, was all their people. Austin would have a big gap in this aspect alone.

One elder vote was equivalent to a hundred votes. This was the horror of the elder council!

Even if many people believed Austin's lies, the elders were confident that they could win the election with the elder votes.

"Wait a minute, isn't it a bit unfair to let Kembauer participate in the vote? How can he be both a contestant and a referee?"

Hearing Ahben's doubts, the old patriarch smiled like an old fox:

"This is the election rule. Anyone who is a member of the Ross family can participate in the voting, and Austin also has the right to vote for himself."

Speaking of this, he was extremely proud:

"It's just that this vote is an ordinary vote, haha!"

"Haha, the old patriarch said that there is no place for you to speak here. I gave you face, but you insisted on not appreciating it."

Austin's sarcastic and arrogant expression made the old patriarch tremble with anger:

"Hmph, Austin, don't be arrogant, you will cry later."

The children of the Ross family were all caught in a difficult choice.

Reason told them that Austin was very motivated and would become a qualified patriarch to lead them out of trouble, but they felt that his thoughts were too sharp.

Kembauer was very calm. If he was chosen as the head of the family, the family business would most likely slowly return to normal and it would be difficult to change too much.

They couldn't make up their minds for a while.

This was the longest election in history. In the end, they wrote their names on a piece of paper and threw it into a sealed box.

What surprised the elders was that Guy's expressionless face actually raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was laughing.

"Fuck, Guy's smile is too ugly. It's better for him to have a crooked mouth."

"Look at Kembauer's relaxed look. We are sure to win this game. The victory belongs to us."

"We finally drove away Ahben and Austin. Congratulations, congratulations."They forgot the lesson of not opening champagne in the middle of the procession, and two old guys without voting rights clinked their glasses in celebration backstage.

"Start counting the votes!"
