Chapter 4296
"T-that's..." Spencer was lost for words.
If people asked, he could confidently answer how he had earned his position. He could proudly say that he earned it by legal means, and that there was a legitimate reason for his actions.
This was the same for ancient times. Every major event happened for a legitimate reason. Even a heinous aggressor would fabricate a series of high-sounding lies to validate their actions. Of course, Spencer would do just that.
But if the world learnt that he was after his father's life, his reasons would no longer be legitimate. If the scandal was exposed, there was no way for him to stay in power. He had no choice but to admit to his faults
and resign.
Spencer made a last-ditch effort to convince Charlie. "Mr. Wade, if my father and I are no longer suitable to be the leader ... Why don't my son Xavion take over?"
Even if Spencer had to give up his power as a last resort, at the very least, he wanted to pass it to his son.
However, Charlie refused immediately. He warned coldly, "What's that? We're about to make Homer's deed public soon, and you want Homer's father to be the head of the family? Are you planning to let the most unsuitable person be the head of the family?" "I-I... That's..." Spencer was lost for words.
He finally realized that Charlie had rejected not just Jordan and him, but also his son Xavion.
He wanted to suggest Charlie appoint his second son, but then came to a sudden realization. 'Charlie spent so much time here. Is he trying to make Kathleen the next head of the family?! He didn't say it clearly because he wanted to go with the flow and silence everyone. If I continue to fight against his wishes and annoy him, I'll be done for...'
Thinking of that, he quickly said, "Mr. Wade ... In that case, I'd like to suggest a more suitable candidate..."
Meanwhile, Spencer's second son
Jean was now very excited. He assumed he would be next in line after his brother Xavion as the head of the family. He was positive that his father would nominate him.

Charlie leveled Spencer with a look of interest. "Who's the suitable person? Tell me.novelbin
No one expected what Spencer would say next. He put his hand together respectfully and suggested, "Mr. Wade, I think the most suitable person to be the next head of the family is my niece, Kathleen

As soon as these words fell out of Spencer's lips, Jean grew infuriated and screamed at the top of his lungs, "Dad! How can a little girl be the head of the family?! You must be crazy!" Spencer glared at Jean and roared, "You! Shut up!"
Frightened by his father's glare, Jean wisely kept silent.
Jordan did not expect Spencer to
change his mind quickly and suggest Kathleen be the next head He thought to himself,' Spencer must have realized Charlie's motive. He's trying to please Charlie and Kathleen...'
At the same time, Charlie turned to Jordan and asked, "Lord Fox, what do you think about Spencer's proposal?"
Jordan felt helpless. He knew there was no way for him to take back his position as the head of the family. Fortunately, Charlie's strong influence ensured that Spencer could not remain in power. Although Jordan would no longer have his previous power, he didn't need to stay in hiding anymore or fear for his life.
