The crowd trembled at those words.
Everyone was reminded that Marcel did in fact have the right to appoint whoever he wanted as the new young lord.
Even though Vince was known as the young lord of the family, he had never been acknowledged by Marcel since the very beginning
This was the reason why Vince wanted to be Marcel‘s son.
Vince‘s dream would never come true if Marcel didn‘t acknowledge him. He could attain the chance to rise to power only if Marcel took him under his wing. Recently, Vince felt that Marcel was using Queenie to fight him.
He had suffered some losses before, but he wasn‘t too worried.
After all, in his eyes, Grandma York would never let a woman take the position of the young lord. Not just Grandma York, the higher–ups of the family wouldn‘t agree to that decision either.
But just then, Selena declared that she wanted Harvey to be her son–in–law and for him to climb the ranks. Anxiety filled Vince at that very moment.
He knew just how capable Harvey was.
If Harvey actually rose to power, everything Vince had planned for more than ten years ago would go up in flames.
Resentment filled Vince‘s eyes at that very moment.
After calming down, Grandma York glared at Harvey, who had been constantly going against her since the start.
She then turned to look at Marcel with narrowed eyes.
“Tell me, Marcel.”
“What do you think about this man?”
“You said you wanted a son–in–law, and that you wanted him to climb the ranks within the family?”
Marcel, who had been silent the entire time, took a step forward and bowed in front of his mother.
“That‘s right. Both Selena and I want this.”
“I do hope Harvey will be able to rise to power in our family.”
“I‘m willing to use my only right to appoint Harvey as the young lord, and also the next lord of the family!” Vince and the others‘ faces had completely lost all color.
Grandma York‘s expression darkened as well.
“Congratulations to Lord York and the Yorks of Hong Kong!”
“Lord York has an outstanding son–in–law, and the family will have a new leader in the future.”
“With Young Lord York‘s guidance, the family will surely flourish!” Fabian exclaimed as he took a step forward.
“As the head of the Hamilton family, I will lay my life down for Young Lord York no matter what it takes!”
Then, Toby stood out with a faint smile. “As the head of the Clarke family, I‘m prepared to give my life to Young Lord York if need be!” Morgan stood out as well. “As the head of the Johnson family, I‘m willing to do whatever it takes for Young Lord York to keep his position!”
Noah smiled and walked forward after that.
“As the head of the third house, I congratulate Lord York for getting such an exceptional son–in–law, and for Sir York to take the position as the new young lord!”
“The fourth house welcomes you, Young Lord York!” Both the third and fourth house of the family stepped forward at the same time.
Harvey, who was among the crowd, was speechless as everyone stared at him.
‘Goddamnit! Marcel got me…‘
‘He‘s trying to make me take the crown on Grandma York‘s birthday!‘
‘He‘s not even asking my permission for this!‘
‘I don‘t care about being the lord!‘
“This is a joke!
