The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1786

1786 /1891

The Elder Elder shot a knowing glance at Nick as he spoke, "With Keir not in the best of health, the Davis family can't afford a leadership gap. So, after some talks among us elders, we've decided to evaluate and pick a suitable heir from the younger crowd."

"I'm handing out the list of heir candidates now, along with the evaluation criteria," he added, distributing a stack of papers to everyone.

Nick picked up the list slowly. There were five names on it. Besides him and Penelope, the other three were from the Davis family’s extended branches, each about ten years older.

“If no one has any objections, we’ll kick off the first assessment in two days,” the Elder Elder declared.

Nick didn't bother to check the evaluation criteria. He let the paper slide onto the table and looked directly at the Elder Elder, “I’m not on board with this.”

His words drew all eyes to him.

The Elder Elder, seemingly expecting Nick’s resistance, feigned surprise, “Mr. Nick, what exactly do you mean by ‘not on board’?”

“Keir’s just taking a break. Who gave you the authority to start a succession discussion?” Nick shot back with a smirk, “You all know who got you those comfy seats.”

The Elder Elder didn’t seem ruffled by Nick’s retort. Instead, he nodded, “Mr. Nick, we’re well aware. But if the Davis family’s legacy is at risk, how can we face Keir after all he's given? You get my point, right?”

“Plus, we’re just picking an heir. Keir's still the boss. It doesn’t change anything for the Davis family.”
