After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 78

The Boleyn Manor.

It was a rare sight to see everyone gathered.

Carlton sat at the head of the dining table, looking all serious and upright.

Everyone was there except for the empty seat to his left. His usually calm face showed a hint of anxious anticipation.

Carlton fiddled with the beads in his hand. Over the years, the relationship between Maximilian and the Boleyn family had been lukewarm at best.

But that lukewarm relationship was actually more torturous.

"Your son is really something, isn't he? Says he'll come back for dinner, and everyone has to drop what they're doing and wait for him. Anyone who didn't know better would think he's the father and you're the son." That was Damian Boleyn talking, sitting across from Gabriel Boleyn. Damian was the eldest son of Carlton's late brother. He rarely showed up at the old manor unless he needed money. Today, he had to come back because Carlton personally called to say there was something important to announce.

That sarcastic remark made Gabriel's face darken immediately.

"Go find out where he is. It's ridiculous of him to make the whole family wait for him!" Gabriel snapped at the servant, trying to maintain his authority in the family.

Since Maximilian graduated, the Boleyn family's power had fallen into his hands, leaving Gabriel, the vice chairman, without real authority.

Next to Damian was his eldest son, Derek Boleyn. The Boleyn family members were all good-looking, especially the boys, who were quite handsome. However, Derek had a cunning look that made him seem unreliable. Since his father Damian had spoken, Derek had no reason not to follow.

Derek twisted his newly acquired expensive watch and sneered at Desmond, "Desmond, I warn you. If Maximilian can kick me out of the Boleyn Group, he can kick you out too. Maximilian wants to monopolize the Boleyn Group. Don't forget, your last name is Boleyn, and his is Hamilton. My fate could be yours. Well, you and Gabriel might as well be invisible to Maximilian. The only one he respects is Grandpa. Don't blame my dad for being harsh. Maximilian doesn't consider you family at all."
