Chapter 86 The Old Fools of the Elders
Sure enough, the Godfather's next sentence answered Tang Tang's doubts.
“He is my cousin, and the only person who is competing with me for the position of head of the family.”
Before Tang Tang could speak, Alberto continued to explain, "But he fell in love with a woman from a rival gang, for which he was willing to leave the Newman family, but in the end, the poor lovers did not have a good ending."
“That woman named Isava was captured by his father’s enemies while she was pregnant, and she and her unborn child died,” Alberto sighed, somewhat regretfully. “Stephano later grew to hate family affairs, but he stayed in the family to avenge that woman.”
"The council of elders is the most powerful position besides the head of the family. Stefano kicked many of the old elders off the stage one by one before finally securing his current position."
Finally, Alberto concluded regarding Stefano, "In short, Stefano has no vested interest in me, or rather, he has no vested interest in any of Newman's factions."
"He's like a finely tuned machine devoid of emotion, cold and indifferent to everyone, but that doesn't mean he's easy to fool. In fact, I've always thought he's the smartest one in the entire Newman family."
"Secondly, there is Mrs. Tease. She is the only female elder in the Senate and the only female head of the Newman family."
Alberto thought for a moment, then suddenly chuckled, a hint of mischief in his voice, “She would probably like you a lot. When Ryan was little, she was very beautiful. Mrs. Tiss even took a picture of Ryan wearing a dress.”
Tang Tang nodded thoughtfully; it sounded like Mrs. Tease and the Godfather had a pretty good relationship.
"However, there's a rumor I'd like you to know: Mrs. Tease's husband was originally in the Senate, but later committed suicide in the bathtub at home."
The Godfather slowly cut a veal steak. "Oh, you know, later Mrs. Tease's family requested another member to join the Senate, and that person was Mrs. Tease's brother."
"A fool, who was eventually shot by his lover... Although, the lover appeared very suddenly and disappeared quickly after the shooting."
Tang Tang quickly understood the secret behind the Godfather's words after hearing these few short sentences—all the people who had blocked Mrs. Tiss were dead.
Her voice was subtle, “But in the end, it was Mrs. Tease who remained and has held power until now.”
“That’s right,” the Godfather said, taking a bite of Italian sausage. “Mrs. Teass is the winner, and no one has ever dared to say a bad word about the winner.”
"Where are the remaining few?"
“Stelter is a good-natured fat old man. He’s a scoundrel in the Senate, but don’t underestimate him. Remember, a dog that bites never barks.”
"There's another one named Redhill. I think you'll be spending a lot of time with him later. I have to remind you, dear Nicoletta, Redhill has a very bad temper, but he'll most likely be in charge of teaching you skills later."
Tang Tang had no doubts at all; even a fool would know that as the heir of a family, one must learn a considerable number of skills.
Therefore, most of the so-called extravagant and wasteful rich second-generation heirs in the eyes of ordinary people are either nouveau riche who do not pay attention to the education of their offspring, or they have no right to inherit at all.
Otherwise, rich people aren't stupid. Wouldn't they know what kind of idiot their heir is?
Unless he's gone mad, he wouldn't hand over his entire fortune to an incompetent good-for-nothing.
Of course, as a family heir, you don't actually need to do everything yourself. What you need to do more is learn how to manage your subordinates, how to understand the operation of the industry, and how to manage the overall direction.
Therefore, Tang Tang had already prepared for her studies.
And there's more good news: she also studied management in her previous life, and as a top-tier major, Tang Tang studied it very deeply, gaining a deeper understanding during the years when she was struggling to make ends meet in Fortune 500 companies.
Tsk tsk, you even have grassroots experience yourself. If I'm not the chosen one, who is?
Tang Tang's main focus now is on boosting her confidence.
"As for the last two old guys, I hope you can take care of them later."
"Hmm?" Tang Tang put down her knife and fork with interest upon hearing this and asked, "Is there something wrong with these two?"
The Godfather shook his head. "I haven't caught them red-handed yet, but since Ryan's death, only the two of them have been making no attempt to hide their restless hearts."
“Fort is hot-tempered and ruthless, and has many illegitimate children,” the Godfather said with disdain, but then changed the subject, “but the most important person is not him, but Camille.”
"Camille has always been known for his taciturnity and aloofness. Most people believe that he has always been loyal to the Newman family, but I have always had my doubts about him."
But there must always be a reason for doubt.
"So, why do you suspect him?"
"Because one of Camille's lovers used to work in the Blackfly Gang's bar, I don't think this is just overreacting. After all, Mrs. Tees' husband died, and his lover disappeared too, didn't she?"
"This lover's identity is just too perfect."
Tang Tang nodded. "I understand."
"The members of the council of elders will arrive this afternoon, along with a medical team. My people have already been placed there, so you don't need to worry about the genetic testing."
As for the pupils...
Tang Tang gently tapped her pupils, which were identical to her godfather's, and chuckled, "Absolutely foolproof."
......
None of the elders are easily fooled.
Whether it was those supposedly on the Godfather's side or those whom the two Godfathers suspected, Tang Tang had to be on her guard.
She needs to ensure that her every word and action conforms to her persona and pleases the elders, since they will likely be spending some time together afterward.
She doesn't have the peculiar taste to go against old men and women.
Tang Tang came to eat breakfast barefoot in slippers. She was deep in thought when suddenly something cold and rough touched her calf.
She looked down and met the gaze of the big, beautiful man staring at her.
Oh dear, I forgot to feed the crocodiles.
The Godfather watched with a smile as the girl stroked the crocodile's head a few times, then stood up to take his leave, saying, "Then, Mr. Godfather, I'm leaving."
“My dear Nicoletta, please make yourself at home. Newman Manor is now completely open to you.”
This morning, the lab submitted the final analysis report for the drug; it only needs to undergo final clinical trials...
Alberto watched Tang Tang lead the crocodile away, a determined look rising in his eyes.
He had to live, to avenge Lei An, for the child who had come into this world because of his own selfishness, and to see how much glory the girl before him could gain in this bizarre lie and cooperation.
