Chapter 530 - 530 Mara, Drawing Swords (1)530 Mara, Drawing Swords (1)
As William Haden finished speaking, a few young men stood on the platform.
Among them was William Haden’s son, William Sukelu. The others were all very young and looked to be in their twenties. They were all young talents of the William family.
At this moment, the five or six young men standing on the platform were one of the candidates for the William family’s heir. Only they were qualified to be the true heir of the William family.
Today, the heir of the William family would be chosen from among them.
Among the few of them, William Sukelu had a proud smile on his face. As for the others, there was a dark expression on their faces.
This was because the others knew that the heir of the William family had already been decided internally, and they were just making up the numbers.
Soon, the voting ceremony began.
After a round of voting, without any exception, William Sukelu became the young man with the most votes.

At this moment, William Haden spoke to everyone again, about to announce the results.
However, before he could finish speaking, a voice sounded in this space again, “Wait!”
Everyone turned their gazes in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man and a young woman standing at the side.
“Sam?”
“Senator Sam, aren’t you a little late? Our vote is over. Do you have any questions?” William Haden looked at the middle-aged man and his expression changed slightly. This Sam was one of the last people he wanted to see. This guy had never supported his son as the heir.
At this moment, the surrounding people also looked at the middle-aged man with surprise in their eyes.
Wasn’t the middle-aged man in front of them one of the five elders of the William family, Elder Sam? They thought that Sam would not come and would probably miss the heir ceremony of the William family. They did not expect him to come at this time.
“I don’t agree with your son becoming the heir.” At that moment, Sam spoke again in a low voice.
“You also arranged for these guys who had just been voted on, right?”
William Haden’s expression darkened again when he heard Sam’s words. The expressions of the elders and the sages of the Holy Church of Light froze.
“So what if they are? So what if they are not? In short, they are all brilliant young people of our William family. Shouldn’t the heir be chosen from them?” said William Haden.
“There’s no problem choosing from them, but you’re missing someone.” At that moment, Sam laughed again and said calmly.
“Hmm?”
Hearing Sam’s words, William Haden and the others immediately had strange expressions.
At that moment, a young woman slowly walked away beside Sam.
“Uncle Haden, long time no see. Do you still remember Sophie? How could you have forgotten about such an important person?”
Sophie stood up slowly with a smile on her face.
At this moment, William could still hear Sophie’s words. His expression changed.
“Sophie?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWilliam Haden naturally recognized the woman in front of him. Wasn’t this his second brother’s daughter? She was also the last person he wanted to see.
“Miss Sophie.”
“It’s actually Miss Sophie…”
“Miss Sophie of the second family.”
“I didn’t expect Miss Sophie to still be alive. Why haven’t we seen each other for so many years?”
At this moment, all the eyes of the William family were on Sophie. Shocked voices were heard. Some of them had seen Sophie before, but back then, Sophie was just a little girl less than ten years old.
At this moment, William Haden’s expression froze when he heard Sophie’s words. Then, he glared at his son, William Sukelu. He knew that Sophie was still alive in China, but he had long arranged for his son, William Sukelu, to make arrangements in China. He had to stop Sophie from appearing and take precautions.
However, he did not expect what he was worried about to happen.
“Aiyo, I didn’t expect it to be Sophie. It’s been a long time. Take a seat, take a seat. However, there’s no need for you to participate in the voting for the heir. Even if you participate, you only have one vote from Elder Sam. It’s useless.” William Haden also forced a smile and spoke slowly, but his voice was filled with confidence.
Of the five elders of the William family, three had already been pulled to his side. The other remained neutral. As for Sam, his opinion and decision did not affect the overall situation.
William Haden’s words were very straightforward. He did not even hide anything. He did not take Sam and Sophie seriously at all.
