Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 5325

Susan said, “Look at where our son stands in our family. Sure, he’s been playing the part of an acting head for a while, but he hasn’t gained much loyalty.

“He never experienced the struggles we went through to rise to power. The position was handed to him by you, so he had it easy. He can’t truly understand what everyone else has been through.

“A lot of the senior members aren’t pleased with his attitude. He’s nowhere as respectful as you are. You keep a bond with them because they stood by us when we built everything up.

“Manny doesn’t share the bond we forged. He never went through the struggles with them. The way Manny sees it, they are just entitled old men living off the past glory, and he has been trying to cut into their interests.

“He hasn’t extended their children much grace either. He doesn’t want to give them special treatment. I can understand that he wants to hold onto power, but he has to throw them a little something once in a while. He can’t just withhold everything.

“Once people start comparing, they will realize that our children have nothing on Laurence.”

Tony had no words.

He knew that Susan’s evaluation was spot-on.

“Let’s not think about what’s going to happen to us. We should send our grandchildren away and pack whatever they can take. They should keep things on the down-low.

“It’s our way out and our best chance to preserve the family line. Otherwise, we’ll only end up like the former head when retribution comes.

Back then, the entire main branch was wiped out, leaving only a baby boy alive.

Tony and Susan did not have many children, but they were blessed with a house full of grandchildren. Tony had many daughters born outside of wedlock, many of whom had settled down and given him more grandchildren.

Nevertheless, Susan only cared about her own children. She could not care less about Tony’s illegitimate daughters.

She had shown enough grace by not harming those girls.

After much thought, Tony said, “Let’s go with your plan. We’ll arrange for the grandchildren to emigrate. They shouldn’t come back unless we secure leadership in the family. They can just live abroad.
