I’m simply doubtful of you, Liberty. “I’d rather choose someone else amongst the Fisher family than let you be in charge. Any of them will be way more suitable than you.” Liberty faked a smile. “Since you’re aware of the family rules, don’t you know that the successor must be a descendant of the main family? “Is any daughter within the family a descendant of the main family?

Conrad turned to him with some judging gaze before he sighed. He was calm now.
