Mag turned to Gloria, and a smile appeared on his face.
He didn’t think that the first person to stand with him would be Gloria.
It appeared that she was braver than he had imagined

Aside from Cyril’s pitifully low IQ and EQ, the deeply ingrained preconceived notions about social hierarchies were the true source of his confidence.

However, Mag still couldn’t understand why Jeffree insisted on trying to groom such a retard into the successor of the Moreton Family.
Did he want his family to fall in the near future?

It was indeed normal for children to inherit the heirloom of their fathers, but surely not just any child was deserving of their father’s heirloom.

Back in his past life, his father had been much wiser.
He knew that Mag wasn’t interested in, nor was he capable of, inheriting the family business, so he hired a professional manager to take care of the business.
It was an easy and highly efficient decision, and it was certainly much better than forcing Mag to take over the business, and then inevitably run it into the ground.

In comparison, even though Gloria had only recently kindled the urge to try and claim her birthright, she was a much more suitable candidate in Mag’s eyes.

She appeared to be quite frail and vulnerable but her judgment and executive ability were clearly far, far superior to Cyril’s.

Anyone with even a tenth of a brain wouldn’t say something like this in front of the city lord.

The entire banquet hall had completely fallen silent as all of the guests looked at the disheveled Cyril with peculiar looks on their faces.

The young master of the Moreton Family had been reduced to such a sorry state by a spell cast by a four-year-old girl.

Furthermore, Mag was pinning the blame on Cyril and delivering a vicious insult in the process, making everyone wonder what was going to happen next.

Of course, what was even more astonishing to everyone was that after Mag had expressed his intention to donate to Luna’s foundation, Gloria had stepped forward and done the exact same thing.

Gloria was a young mistress of the Moreton Family; technically speaking, she was also Cyril’s niece.
However, her decision to donate was undoubtedly a slap to the face for Cyril.

The two of them were both candidates to inherit the Moreton Family heirloom, and it could be seen that competition was quite fierce between the two.

Initially, everyone hadn’t been optimistic about Gloria’s chances.
However, following her stunning entrance and her recent actions, which pitted her directly against Cyril, many people were starting to change their mind about her.

Looking at this beautiful young mistress, everyone couldn’t help but think of the young mistress of the Buffett Family, who had well and truly established herself as the family leader.

Despite Jeffree’s sexist views, would he pass on his position of family leader to Gloria just as Old Man Buffett had? That was the question that had appeared in everyone’s minds.

“Damn! She got there before me.” Scheer stood at the entrance to her booth and looked at Gloria with a slightly frustrated expression.

“This little girl is quite interesting.” Michael looked at Gloria, and a smile returned to his face.
He then turned to Amy, and the smile on his face grew even wider.
That ice fire ball that she’d just unleashed really hit the spot.

Jeffree’s clenched fists slowly relaxed, and he nodded slightly as he looked at Gloria, but he still didn’t say anything.

“That guy seems to a stumbling block in my way.” Camilla’s eyes narrowed as she looked at Mag.

“Huh? Is that jealousy I smell?” The black cat looked around with a confused expression.

“Mr.
Mag!” Luna looked at Mag, who had positioned himself in front of her and Amy, and her flustered heart was immediately put at ease.
She felt as if nothing could harm her with Mag shielding her.

Cyril’s backside was throbbing with pain, but aside from that, he remained largely unscathed.
However, he had been thoroughly humiliated in front of so many people, and his face was as red as a monkey’s bum.

Of course, what enraged him even more was Mag’s nonchalant attitude, and the fact that Gloria had decided to stand directly against him.
She had already stolen far too much of the spotlight tonight.

“You’ve only temporarily taken over the Blue Suede Textiles Shop; what gives you the right to donate 10% of its earnings?” Cyril looked at Gloria with a cold sneer on his face, and said, “Also, the Blue Suede Textiles Shop had been incurring losses for three consecutive years.
You’ve been in charge for so many days, yet you haven’t even sold as much as a single roll of fabric.
In half a month, your shop is going to completely close down; what are you going to donate with, then?”

“Exactly! Do you really think that you’re an important member of the family now? How dare you make such a decision on your own?” Herny scoffed.

“And why are you dressed in such a revealing manner? You’re an absolute disgrace to our Moreton Family!” Herty also chuckled coldly as she glowered at Gloria with burning jealousy in her eyes.
She had dominated the spotlight tonight, and it was all because of that beautiful dress.

“Looks like it’s time for me to swoop in and save the damsel in distress! This time, I’m going to beat those bastards until they’re half-dead and win the heart of the beautiful maiden!” A dangerous light suddenly flashed in Camilla’s beautiful eyes.

“The president has already agreed to give me the Blue Suede Textiles Shop if I can make it a profitable business within a month.
Hence, why don’t I have the right to donate 10% of its earnings?” Gloria completely ignored Herty and Herny as she looked at Cyril with a carefree expression, and retorted, “I have absolute confidence in my ability to make Blue Suede a profitable business.
By the way, it’s no longer a textiles shop, but a clothing store instead.
This dress that I’m wearing now is one of the new products that our store is releasing.”

The cowardly ugly duckling has grown up to become a confident and beautiful swan.
It’s quite a heartwarming transformation.
Looks like I was right to invest in her.
Mag turned to Gloria with a gratified look in his eyes.

In business, as well as many other aspects of life, one should never place all of their eggs in one basket.
Collaborating with Scheer could change the Chamber of Commerce from the outside, yet investing in Gloria could change the entire Moreton Family, thereby transforming the Chamber of Commerce from the inside.

“H-how is that possible?” Cyril stared at Gloria’s blue dress with an incredulous look in his eyes.

Gloria’s dress had attracted the attention of all of the guests present, and if such a gorgeous dress was made at her clothing store, then one could imagine how many orders she would receive from women desperate to get their hands on such a prized item of clothing.

Furthermore, she had successfully advertised her Blue Suede clothing store and the dress that she was wearing to all of the guests present.

These noblewomen had an immense spending power.
Cyril couldn’t even imagine how much they’d contribute to Gloria’s clothing store’s income.

However, what he could be sure of was that as long as Gloria could provide a sufficient number of dresses, not only would Blue Suede become a profitable business, it would become a highly profitable one.

Cyril laid a hand on the shoulder of a knight standing beside him to prop himself as a crushing sensation dawned on him.
He had clearly already been defeated in this Blue Suede challenge, and the level of threat Gloria posed to him was no longer just a joke.

“Jeez, she’s not affording me any chances.” Camilla had just stepped forward when she withdrew her foot with a frustrated look on her face.

“I think she might like men,” the black cat murmured.

“Shush! How could there possibly be true love in a heterosexual relationship? The only thing fueling such a relationship is an animalistic reproductive instinct!” Camilla punched the black cat’s head again.
