Triumph Above All Novel

Chapter 880 Licking the Chief's Boot

Curry gave an uneasy chuckle and remarked, "Easton, you're making too much of it."

"We, the Pearsons, are not Nirth's first family." It makes no difference whether we have two or three persons above us."

"Curry, I don't like what you're saying."

Hernandez's face had entirely darkened.

Curry cut him off before he could continue his sentence, saying, "Easton, I have some urgent matters to attend to." I'll be the first to leave. You must be exhausted after your journey. Why don't I have my maids make a dinner for you? You may depart once you have finished your meal."

"Curry!"

Hernandez was so enraged that he stormed out.

Hernandez's grandson followed him soon.

Hernandez's rage had not lessened by the time they arrived at the Pearson family mansion.

"I didn't expect Curry to have this attitude, Grandpa." Can we handle Skylar without the three major families banding together?"

Hernandez's grandson inquired, concerned.

Before they arrived, he and Hernandez agreed that Landon's demeanor did not represent the entire Pearson family.

They expected Curry to give face, especially since Hernandez had personally intervened.

They had no idea Curry would reject them openly, as if he was terrified of Skylar.

"How can we not deal with it?"

"It's just the Pearson family," Hernandez spat on the steps of the Pearson family estate, his face ashen. It makes no difference whether they're in or out."

"The Feron family is Nirth's first family." Why worry about not being able to handle a nobody if the Feron family agrees and we get the new Chief on our side?"

His grandson felt considerably more at peace after hearing Hernandez's words.

Yes, even though the Pearson family was rated third in Nirth, they were still far behind the Hernandez family.

The difference was much wider when compared to the first-placed Feron family.

The size of three Pearson families was roughly equivalent to that of one Feron household.

"Let's go to the Ferons!"

Hernandez's vision regained some of its sharpness.

Skylar remained at Yulia and Lola's sides in the days that followed.

Skylar had tried to contact Valerie several times, but she had always found reasons to avoid him. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Skylar appeared to grasp Valerie's thoughts after a few attempts, but he was helpless and could only let Valerie close herself away.

He might be dominant and powerful in other situations, but when it came to matters of the heart, he had no idea what to do.

He already had Yulia and Lola, and he didn't want Valerie to be hopeful.

But, given Valerie's current predicament, he couldn't say no.

So he just left it alone, hoping Valerie would remember it later.

The calm and warm days flew by, and before they knew it, it was time for the Chief of Nirth's inauguration.

The high-speed rail station in Ruritania was packed with notable personalities from various families on the morning of the day.

Everyone tried to curry favor with the incoming leader.

Of course, Rhett, Alejandro, and the other Miller family members were the most excited.

The Hernandez family assigned them a duty a week ago: if they wanted to keep the Miller family, they needed to make friends with the new chief as quickly as possible.
