Chapter 825
“It’s not inappropriate! The elders will assist Royce. There shouldn’t be any issue!” Melvin said.
Though Jonah was his son, the leader was often selected from the first bloodline of direct descendants and as one
of the elders of the family, Melvin had to prioritize the entire family as a whole and could not side with Jonah, or he
would be faulted for favoritism.
Melvin refused to be suspected for plotting to take over control.
If Royce was truly capable of leading the Youngs to glory, that would be the most ideal scenario; if he failed to prove

to take over control without being condemned for stealing the position.
“Alright, then!” Jonah agreed reluctantly.

to the decision.
“Thank you for taking Royce’s side, Uncle Melvin!” Daisy beamed.
She thought that Melvin would side with Jonah and expected a certain extent of resistance, but Melvin was a just

my son, Jacob, today!”
“Not possible! Dream on! I’ll never marry Jacob!” Iris said coldly.
She sold Elegante Group because she was reluctant to accept the marriage and since Gilbert lost the right to

Melvin and the other elders knew that it was unreasonable for Daisy to push Iris into accepting the marriage
proposal.
