?Chapter 907:
Hannah, usually sharp-tongued and a master debater, was not in the mood to argue because Sergio’s old illness had red up, and his life was at stake. She had decided to stay silent as long as Gerry didn’t cross the line.
However, Gerry’s remarks grew increasingly offensive, and she couldn’t help but coldly respond, “Even if Sergio never wakes up and Landen isn’t fit to be his sessor, it’s still not your son’s turn to lead the family. Understand?”
Gerry was annoyed by her words. His efforts were aimed at iming the family leader position for his son, and Hannah’sments felt like an attack on his borate ns. He retorted, “I don’t see my son, Crosby, as less capable than Landen. Crosby is five years older than Landen, which makes him more mature and stable. Also, he scored much higher than Landen in today’spetition.”
Hannah gave Gerry a mocking look.
“Your son spends his days in bars and clubs, getting tangled in scandals with various celebrities. He’s constantly in the gossip tabloids. Do you really think he has the dedication to sharpen his medical skills?”

She then surveyed the room and continued, “Do you honestly believe someone like Crosby is fit to lead the family? Would you entrust our family’s future to him?”
Gerry, mortified by the mention of Crosby’s reputation, red at his son. Crosby, feeling somewhat ashamed yet defiant, argued, “Guys my age are full of life. What’s wrong with having a few flings? Plus, I’m trying to change. I promise, if I take over as family patriarch, I’ll never go to a club again. I’llply with the family’s wishes and marry a respectable woman to lead the Nash family.”
“Exactly! Crosby is right,” Gerry said.
“Crosby’s interest in women is minor. He can change that. He is the most outstanding among the young ones and is the most qualified to take over as family head.”
Some of the other family members nodded in agreement with Gerry’s words.
Despite being at a disadvantage, Hannah remainedposed and scoffed.
“Ha! Who says Crosby is the most outstanding among the young ones?”
Gerry scowled.
“Back then, A did outperform him in medical skills, but she’s no longer with the Nash family. Crosby won first ce at today’spetition.”
Hannah sneered.
“Crosby won first ce because another young member of the Nash family didn’t participate in thepetition. If she had, Crosby wouldn’t have been first.”
“Who are you talking about?” Gerry asked, looking annoyed.
“Didn’t participate? I don’t remember anyone being absent.”
Hannah stared at Gerry as if he were an idiot and said, “Stop pretending to be oblivious. Tiffany didn’t participate. Remember?”
“Tiffany?” Gerry scoffed.
“Hannah, have you lost your senses? Everyone knows Tiffany is a failure. Even if she had participated, her scores would likely be below Landen’s. How could she ever match Crosby?”
Hannah retorted, “Gerry, have you lost your memory? Have you forgotten that Tiffany is now a peripheral member of Riss’s team and the famous artist Only?
“So what?” Gerry retorted sharply.
“She’s just a peripheral member. Landen is Riss’s personal disciple and is still not up to par. How does being a peripheral member make her better? And even though Only is impressive in the arts, what relevance does it hold in our medical field? Are we to start trading in paintings under her direction?”
Hannah replied, “Tiffany’s acim in the art world speaks to her intelligence and capability. She could achieve simr sess in medicine. Don’t overlook how she skillfully saved Mrs. Arabe Daniels and Trenton. You might dismiss her saving Mrs. Daniels as mere luck, but you can’t deny what everyone witnessed when she saved Trenton at the banquet. After only a few days with Riss’s team, her progress was immense. Now, with more experience, her medical expertise has surely grown, definitely surpassing Crosby’s. Therefore, if Landen is unfit, Tiffany should rightfully take over as the family head.”
Caught off guard, Gerry responded, “I won’t ept—”
Marissa asked calmly, “What’s your objection, Uncle Gerry?”
