This ensured that the Maynards had almost no main roles or supporting roles. Plus, this also maximized the use of the talents and potentials of each family member.
After the head retired, he directly entered the Elders’ Institution and had the highest collective power.
This way, it could be regarded as guaranteeing the interests of the head.
And now the Maynards were in the sixth generation, and even the older seventh – generation children had begun to enroll in school. Therefore, the oldest elders in the Elders Institution currently were from the third generation and part of the fourth generation.
For a family like the Maynards, it was a very important event for a family member to formally submit a proposal to the Elders ‘Institution.
For the head of the family, this was tantamount to provocation.
“Are you provoking me?” Celine’s father said coldly.
“You are the head of the family and you have the right to veto my proposal, but as a family member, I can also directly submit a proposal to the Elders’ Institution after your veto,” nonchalantly. “Celine said
“But you have to know that once your suggestion is rejected by the Elders’ Institution, then you and even my prestige will be greatly affected!”
“Father, if you reject it because this is my suggestion, then I can only make this choice,” Celine responded.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone after she said this.
“From the standpoint of the family, once we help Jasper, it is equivalent to helping Jasper deal with the United States in disguise. Since our roots are all in the United States. Once we’re caught by political enemies, this will make the family passive.” Celine’s father tried to change her mind.
“Father, if we don’t do this, will our political opponents shake hands and keep the peace with us?” Celine asked.
“Are you so willing to do this for him? Does he know you paid such a high price?” Celine’s father asked suddenly.
Celine replied calmly, “I don’t need him t o know, I just think this is what I should d 0.”
“You’re just like your mother in this regard,” Celine’s father said inexplicably.
“For her sake, I hope you can stand by my side this time,” Celine said softly.
After an even longer silence, Celine’s father said indifferently, “Since you said that the family needs to invest in him,
fine, we’ll invest a huge amount in him.
“Tell Jasper, if he wants the support of the Maynards, then after this matter is over, he should come to me and ask for your hand in marriage.”
These words caused a change in Celine’s expression,
“Father, you’re such an annoying troublemaker!”
“Didn’t you say that he is worth the investment? I married my only daughter,
the best member of the sixth generation o of the Maynards to him. Isn’t this a major investment?
“As long as he is the Maynards’ son-in law, no one can touch him in the United States, including Washington.
“But if he doesn’t agree, then there’s no need to talk about this anymore.
“Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. I’ve given him the chance and it’s up to him whether he can grasp it or not. Or perhaps, it’s up to you.’
Celine gritted her teeth after she heard
what her father said. “He already has a fiance and Anna is
eying him, what do you want me to do?”
“That’s your problem.”
Celine’s father chuckled and said, “It’s still the same statement. I’ve given you the chance.”
Celine pressed her lips together and did not say anything.
