Aunt Witby and Elodie Jean were naturally a part of the ninth branch.

The call was too sudden. Even Mandy Zimmer was not able to return to her senses.

“That can’t be a coincidence…” said Harvey York calmly.

“Reuben’s here as soon as Elodie got sent in? He even asked for the entire ninth branch to welcome him…

“He’s basically forcing us to bail Elodie out!

“Impressive!

“What a move…”

Harvey sighed.

“Then, I’ll get Elodie out,” he said, not wanting to make things any harder for Mandy.

Mandy let out a bitter chuckle.

“You don’t have to.

“Mother already bailed out Elodie and Aunt Witby before calling me. She begged the police for that, proving the theft was just a big misunderstanding.

Even Lilian Yates, who would always run her mouth whenever she was angry, would n

Harvey York squinted.

“Ancient lineage? How ancient?”

Mandy Zimmer froze before shaking her head.

“I don’t know either. I only heard from the other branch heads during a family meeting.

“Us branch heads have control of a tremendous amount of resources and manpower…

“But to the first branch, we’re only servants and slaves.

“We’re just tools for them to make more money.”

Harvey frowned.

“That’s all the more reason you need to become a prominent figure of the family.

“One day, you’ll also be able to take control of the first branch.”
