Chapter 314

Darcy's remark made Dennis' face darken considerably.

He knew full well what it meant if those two men were indeed loyal to Miranda. If everything Darcy said was true, this young woman's cunning was practically terrifying.

But he, as the head of the family and the founder of the Hawke Group empire, saw something else: her ability to handle people, to remain invisible in such a tumultuous situation, and to achieve her goals nonetheless.

The fact that such depth and strategy belonged to a twenty-year-old girl was astounding.

If the younger generation of the Hawke family had such a prospective heir, he could practically jump for joy.

"Even though her father is in jail and has been disowned by the family, don't forget, she shares the Hawke blood," Darcy hinted, and Dennis understood perfectly.

The tradition of the Hawke Group allowed any blood relative to compete for the heirship. Within the Hawke family, there were only the leaders and other family members.

The family head would be among the leaders, but the leader would also be the future head. And the heir was the sole candidate for the leadership position.

In reality, these three roles would eventually converge into one person, with roles evolving over time. For example, Darcy was currently the present leader, and the previous one was Dennis, standing right there. Technically, Dennis was Darcy's uncle.

Dennis' eyes darkened. "But her father's branch no longer belongs to the Hawke family. This might stir discontent among other family members."

Darcy chuckled, his eyes gleaming with sharpness. "Discontent or not, we're just following the family rules."

Dennis pondered for a moment, and then raised his head to look at Darcy. "You're not even favoring your own son."
