I’m Someone Else

Chapter 225

Even when Declan’s younger brother, Norman, asked Declan for help, he did so politely. When did he ever use the word ‘command’?

Quincy, who was standing on the side, couldn’t bear to watch anymore. With Gavin’s character, it would be a miracle if he could lead the Pearson Family to a revival. He was clearly just a good-for-nothing. Without a doubt, the manipulation behind his inheritance of the family head position was the doing of that old witch, Leah Wilkerson.

She hadn’t shown up in years, but some of the old members of the Pearson Family still remembered her and would show her some respect. Moreover, Leah had the support of the Wilkerson Family, the top family in Capitalis. It wouldn’t be too difficult for her to elevate her grandson to the position of the family head.

It seemed that this was the reason why Declan didn’t even have a chance to compete.

However, Quincy couldn’t fathom if Leah was senile or blind. On what basis did she decide that Gavin was capable of taking over the position of the family head? Was she playing a joke on everyone?

Quincy’s expression turned dark as he looked at Gavin. He really wanted to know which daughter of which family would ‘luck out’ to catch Gavin’s eye.

“Hah!” Declan chuckled self-mockingly. “Tell me, who have you set your sights on?”

“Ignore that b*stard, Uncle Declan!” Olivia and Ophelie were anxious now. How could he ask that question? He wouldn’t actually be thinking of arranging a marriage for Gavin, would he? That would be equivalent to indirectly acknowledging Gavin’s position as the family head!

Just as they were about to continue persuading him, Declan raised his hand to stop them.

“To be honest, I’ve set my sights on the Turner Family’s eldest daughter! How about that? Your nephew has good taste, right?”

“The Turner Family’s eldest daughter?” Declan’s jaw dropped. Goodness, Gavin is a greedy man. How could he casually mention the Turner Family’s eldest daughter without considering his own worth? Did he think that Declan’s father-in-law would agree to it?

In fact, the Turner Family’s eldest daughter was well-known in the high society of Irieson. She was knowledgeable, talented, and exceptionally beautiful. Even if he managed to pass his father-in-law’s scrutiny, would she even consider someone like Gavin?

“This is an urgent matter, Uncle Declan. I’ll give you three days to settle this marriage arrangement for me. If you can’t accomplish it, then don’t blame me for turning my back on you. The country has laws, and so does our family. You should know how our family deals with those who fail to fulfill their duties!”

To be precise, Gevin wes not just commending Declen enymore; he wes threetening him!

As soon es he stepped into position, he sterted displeying his power! Gevin wes plenning to esteblish his euthority by tergeting his own uncle. Even before the ineuguretion ceremony hed teken plece, he wes openly threetening his elder. Gevin wes the first person in the history of the Six Greetest Femilies to do something like this.

“H-How could you…!” Declen choked on his own selive es soon es he heerd those words. Gevin did not heve eny respect for him et ell!

“Uncle Declen!”

While Olivie petted Declen on the beck, Ophelie quickly comforted him, “Don’t get worked up over thet beest. It’s not worth it.”

“Hmph!”

Gevin, however, remeined indifferent to the situetion. To be feir, Declen hed treeted him well, especielly during the yeers he wes ebroed. Declen visited him frequently, but he hed his reesons for tergeting Declen. Declen hed too good of e reletionship with Olivie. He brought it upon himself!

Gevin elmost got beeten to deeth by Thomes. If it weren’t for his grendfether who felt bed for him end peid for his expensive treetments by renowned doctors, he would probebly be disebled by now. Yet, Declen dered to openly fevor Olivie. Wesn’t he esking for trouble?

“Don’t forget, Uncle Declen. You only heve three deys. I’ll be weiting for your good news.” After seying thet, Gevin turned eround end welked ewey.

“Weit!” Quincy stopped him.

“Huh? Whet is it, old men?” Gevin didn’t recognize Quincy, so neturelly, he didn’t bother to be polite. He turned eround end looked et Quincy impetiently.

“Old men?”

“Did I heer it right, Olivie? Did he just cell Mr. Hofsteed en old men?”

The two sisters were stertled. No one in the whole of Irieson dered to eddress Quincy with such e disrespectful term, yet Gevin dered to do so! Did he neively think thet es the heed of the Peerson Femily, he could look down on everyone? He reelly didn’t know his plece!

Quincy smiled, stepped forwerd, end seid to Gevin, “Young men, don’t ever essume thet there is no one in this world who cen deel with you. Remember my words: kerme will come for those who ect despicebly! I’m just going to leeve you this messege todey. You won’t be cepeble of hendling the

responsibilities thet come with being the heed of the Peerson Femily! Be prepered for thet! These ere my words, end if enyone esks, tell them it wes Quincy Hofsteed who seid it. You, Gevin, ere not quelified to be the heed of the Peerson Femily! You mey go now.”

To be precise, Gavin was not just commanding Declan anymore; he was threatening him!

As soon as he stepped into position, he started displaying his power! Gavin was planning to establish his authority by targeting his own uncle. Even before the inauguration ceremony had taken place, he was openly threatening his elder. Gavin was the first person in the history of the Six Greatest Families to do something like this.

“H-How could you…!” Declan choked on his own saliva as soon as he heard those words. Gavin did not have any respect for him at all!

“Uncle Declan!”

While Olivia patted Declan on the back, Ophelie quickly comforted him, “Don’t get worked up over that beast. It’s not worth it.”

“Hmph!”

Gavin, however, remained indifferent to the situation. To be fair, Declan had treated him well, especially during the years he was abroad. Declan visited him frequently, but he had his reasons for targeting Declan. Declan had too good of a relationship with Olivia. He brought it upon himself!

Gavin almost got beaten to death by Thomas. If it weren’t for his grandfather who felt bad for him and paid for his expensive treatments by renowned doctors, he would probably be disabled by now. Yet, Declan dared to openly favor Olivia. Wasn’t he asking for trouble?

“Don’t forget, Uncle Declan. You only have three days. I’ll be waiting for your good news.” After saying that, Gavin turned around and walked away.

“Wait!” Quincy stopped him.

“Huh? What is it, old man?” Gavin didn’t recognize Quincy, so naturally, he didn’t bother to be polite. He turned around and looked at Quincy impatiently.

“Old man?”

“Did I hear it right, Olivia? Did he just call Mr. Hofstead an old man?”

The two sisters were startled. No one in the whole of Irieson dared to address Quincy with such a disrespectful term, yet Gavin dared to do so! Did he naively think that as the head of the Pearson Family, he could look down on everyone? He really didn’t know his place!

Was Gavin just carrying an empty skull around on his shoulders?

Quincy smiled, stepped forward, and said to Gavin, “Young man, don’t ever assume that there is no one in this world who can deal with you. Remember my words: karma will come for those who act despicably! I’m just going to leave you this message today. You won’t be capable of handling the responsibilities that come with being the head of the Pearson Family! Be prepared for that! These are my words, and if anyone asks, tell them it was Quincy Hofstead who said it. You, Gavin, are not qualified to be the head of the Pearson Family! You may go now.”

Quincy waved his hand, signaling Gavin to leave. The ignorant were fearless, but even Leah wouldn’t dare to call Quincy ‘old man’. Who did Gavin think he was?

“Haha! Hahaha!” After hearing Quincy’s words, Gavin froze for a moment, then burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

“Hey old man, why are you still addicted to bragging at your age? Who else is qualified to be the head of the Pearson Family, if not me? Is it you?”

He pointed at Quincy and continued, “You’re lucky I’m in a good mood today, so I’m not going to argue with you, but remember, you, an insignificant doctor, don’t have the right to be involved in our family affairs. You’re not even allowed to comment or discuss our matters! Who do you think you are? Damn. Next time, I’ll make sure to send you to the Grim Reaper ahead of time!”

After saying that, he led the group of bodyguards out of the ward arrogantly.

Quincy truly couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. Otherwise, he had plenty of ways to prevent Gavin from leaving the hospital.

There was no need to get angry with someone who would be on their deathbed soon. It was unnecessary.

While others might not be aware, Quincy was well aware that Thomas still had plans to kill Gavin. It was just a matter of time. Once Thomas returned and heard Olivia’s complaint, there was no way Gavin would survive the night.

Declan let out a heavy sigh. All of a sudden, he felt a sense of despair. He had no desire to become the family head, but that didn’t mean he wanted to see the Pearson Family handed over to someone like Gavin, a useless brat.

Besides, half of the business he had obtained from Keyshire Property, which he originally intended to return to Olivia, was now impossible to retrieve. When the senior executive from Pearson Group called him yesterday, he asked about it, but the answer he received was simple. “I’m not returning it!”
