Chapter 85: New owner

Hellis’ house has been silent for several days since Lorrain Hill’s visit that

day. Miss Meilu ordered that the entire Chamber of Commerce headquarters be

completely closed, and everyone is not allowed to enter or leave at will.

A few days later, the door to the headquarters of the Hellis Chamber of

Commerce opened, which seemed to be the same to outsiders, but the internal

staff found that some faces had disappeared. It is said that they were

assigned to work in a far away branch.

Later, the main managers of the various branches of the Hellis Chamber of

Commerce, especially those of Meilu’s uncles’ relatives, received invitations

from the master’s family. The invitation said that due to Patriarch Fawth’s

recent excessive enjoyment, the priest of the Angel Temple After the

diagnosis, he said that he was afraid of life soon, so he invited everyone to

come to discuss matters concerning the heir of the Chamber of Commerce.

If it’s for some meetings in normal times, these relatives of Hellis love to

go, and they don’t show up much, but when it comes to the transfer of the

chamber of commerce and the distribution of property, they are like flies that

smell fishy, and they swarm for fear of going. Can't drink the soup late.

In just one week, these distant relatives rushed to gather together.

Hellis house, main chamber.

Hoth sat in the upper part of the hall, his complexion a little pale, his vain

and fat body was like a lump of soft white bread, and the maid next to him

from time to time sent medicinal soup for health preservation. On his right

hand was the eldest daughter Mei Lu, and next to him. It is the youngest son

Bell.

Among the many stewards in the audience, all kinds of eyes looked at the

Patriarch in the middle. There were envy, jealousy, fear, greed, and desire.

All kinds of eyes looked at the members of the Patriarch’s house. The meeting

is still Before the beginning, they were whispering underneath, communicating

with each other, trying to know what attention each other was doing.

Mei Lu looked at the group of people below. The faces were so familiar, yet so

strange. When did they come to this point with each other? Without the warmth

of the past, only the right The craving for money seems to be the only value

and meaning of life.

Or maybe this is the normal state, people's hearts are changeable, only the

benefits are long-lasting, moving, and unable to extricate themselves. She

sighed silently in her heart, and then a slight tugging sensation came from

her arm.

"Bell, um, don't be afraid, just sit there obediently, and my sister will

protect you."

Mei Lu shook his younger brother's hand to soothe his uneasy emotions, and the

meeting finally officially began.

The host clapped his hands first, let everyone quiet down, and briefly

introduced the reason for calling everyone this time. As the owner of

Patriarch Huos was unwell, he now decided to abdicate.

"I'm sorry to summon everyone at this time." Hoth said, his speech was not

fast and his voice was a little weak.

"The owner of the house is too worried, your health is the most important

thing."

"Yes, don't worry too much, everyone is here."

"Yes, don't worry."

Some stewards responded below that although they were all words of concern,

their excited eyes were not as if they cared about Hoth. I am afraid it was

more of a secret joy. After all, Hoth is the son of the previous generation of

Patriarch. Although he is not strong enough, Seniority can still hold them

down. But once he retires, who can he change?

Bell is only 14 years old before he reaches adulthood. No one cares about him.

Although the eldest daughter, Mei Lu, has certain strength, she is a daughter.

Sooner or later, she will marry, an outsider. What qualifications do she have

to manage the family? At that time, they will not have to be entrusted to

handle the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, hahaha.

"So, I am going to hand over the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce to my

daughter, Mei Lu, who will handle it."

When Hoth said this, there was an uproar from below, with unbelievable

expressions. The faces that were kind before suddenly became hard to look, and

all kinds of doubts sounded.

"Patriarch, think twice, Mei Lu is just a little girl. It is too much to be in

charge of her."

"Yes, why give the Chamber of Commerce to a daughter."

"The chamber of commerce should be led by experienced people"

"I think Master Vito is right."

...

The voice below suddenly became noisy, and many people began to make noise.

Everyone expressed their opinions and said the most suitable leader in their

minds, and some simply recommended themselves. Hoth sweated on his head and

said a few more words, but unfortunately no one listened. They only vented

their dissatisfaction and argued over who is qualified to lead the Chamber of

Commerce.

Mei Lu stood up and patted his father's back, and said a few words in his ear,

before Hoth's anxious face slowly eased, and then several escorts escorted him

and Bell away from the nearby small side door. Covered by the noise in the

chamber, the sound of armor colliding outside the door seemed so

inconspicuous.

Some people noticed Hoth’s departure and prepared to come forward to question,

but they were stopped by the attendants who had been prepared. They seemed to

stand sparsely in front of the stage, but guarded against those who wanted to

come forward.

咚——

咚——

The big bell in the deliberative hall was struck, and the metal trembling of

the bronze bell spread clearly throughout the venue. At this time, the scene

gradually calmed down. When everyone saw that only Mei Lu was left on the

rostrum, they finally felt something wrong.

"Miss Meilu, where's Master Hoth?"

Several stewards began to ask, and the others looked at Mei Lu, waiting for

her answer.

"My father is unwell, he has already gone back to rest first, and I will take

care of the rest."

"May Lu, get off the stage, Hoth is ignorant, how can you be a girl to take on

such a heavy responsibility."

An uncle said loudly that some other people began to echo ~www.mtlnovel.com~

and more people were sitting on the sidelines. At this time, no one stood up

to speak for Mei Lu.

Mei Lu slowly stood up from her seat. She was wearing a dark green long dress

with a bright yellow camellia pinned on her shoulders. Her face was

indistinguishable from the darkened chamber, except for the chestnut golden

length. The hair hangs on the chest.

"Uncle Vito also thinks I am inappropriate?" Her voice was a little cold.

"Yes it is."

"But I still want to do this, what should I do?"

"You don't want to be like this, we also do it for your good."

"But I want it."

Looking at the familiar uncle in front of her, Mei Lu's voice became colder

and colder and more determined.

"you......"

Before the uncle could finish speaking, Mei Lu directly picked up the tea cup

on the table and threw it on the other person.

"You are only a member of the Helliss branch, what right do you have to yell

in front of me."

"I usually call you uncle respectfully, do you forget your duty?"

Everyone looked at Mei Lu in shock. No one expected that Mei Lu, who is

usually gentle and pleasant, would dare to say such things.

"From today, the Hollis family will be unified again, everyone, all branches

must obey the orders of our master!"

"And I, will become the new owner of the Hellis Chamber of Commerce, you can

tell me any dissatisfaction here."

The voice was categorically decisive. Mei Lu looked directly at the relatives

and elders present, her black eye pupils slowly swept across the audience, as

her words fell, teams of heavily armed guards filed in through the side door,

and they There was silence, and only the sound of metal collisions could be

heard. A total of three hundred steel armored guards would be completely

sealed off, and no one could escape this silent hall.
