Chapter 105 Fighting for position
Garland held the document in his hand and weighed it. In an instant, everyone's minds followed his movement and weighed it.
All eyes were focused on the document in his hand.
Just as the dean was wondering what it was, Garland quickly raised his hand.
With a turn, he threw the brown paper bag in front of the dean.
His knife-like gaze suddenly sank and swept across everyone.
"Look what this is."
As soon as Garland finished speaking, the dean opened the document without caring about his face.
He quickly pulled out the paper inside and just glanced at it. His face changed drastically and turned visibly pale in an instant.
"You...you...are not married?!"
When the dean said this, everyone was in an uproar.
Everyone stared at the two people confronting each other in shock; no one expected that things would take such a turn.
"Why, the dean seems unhappy?"
Garland crossed his legs again, his sharp eyes closely following every subtle expression and movement of the dean.
The dean was stared at so hard that he broke out in a cold sweat and his back couldn't help but shiver.
"Where...where..."
The dean immediately climbed up from the main seat like a dog and walked in front of Garland.
He tremblingly took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"That…"
"Am I qualified now?"
As he spoke, Garland, who was originally sitting opposite him, suddenly disappeared in full view of everyone.
The next second, Garland suddenly appeared on the main seat again.
He was in high spirits and looked at everyone with great pride.
“Yes…yes…”
The dean had been completely overwhelmed by the great pressure of the day. He stammered in his reply and wished he could get out of Lanburg immediately.
"So…"
"It's really lively today."
Who would have thought that before Garland could finish speaking, a loud female voice came from afar.
She interrupted Garland's unfinished words, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
The door was opened from both sides, and a tall figure that Garland was very familiar with came against the light, lighting up his dim eyes.
Evelin was seen in a black formal dress, with half of her face vaguely visible under a black veil hat.
"Since everyone is here, I'll just get straight to the point."
"Today, I am here to inherit the Lan family."
"Evelyn!"
Garland stood up suddenly, the shock in his eyes evident.
He never thought that one day, Evelin would actually compete with him for this position.
"Your Highness is joking again. The first heir of the Lan family is Lan Dian."
The dean was the first to speak, trembling, and gave Garland a flattering look as he spoke.
He had already offended Garland just now, so with such a good opportunity at this moment, of course he would be the first to stand up and show his ability.
"Isn't this the dean? Are you still alive?"
"Sure enough...what is it?"
"Good people have short lives, and longevity is a blessing, Dean."
Evelin glanced at the dean expressionlessly, and the words she spoke were full of irony, causing everyone to laugh out loud.
"you…!"
"Your Highness really is...really loves to joke..."
The dean could no longer bear it but had to swallow his anger.
"Let's get down to business first."
The elder on the other side shook his head and changed the subject.
"Yeah, let's get down to business."
"This is ridiculous. A little girl is competing with her brother for the position of heir."
As soon as the topic returned to the inheritance of the Lan family, everyone couldn't help but chatter.
The dean stood aside, although he didn't say anything.
I feel a lot better now.
Go ahead and make a fuss, make as much noise as you can, it will only end up hurting both sides, and it would be best if no one can inherit it.
At that time, according to regulations, the Lan family will naturally be taken over by the Senate!
"I understand everyone's questions."
"As grandpa's grandson, of course my brother has the first right of succession."
"However…"
Evelyn deliberately prolonged the tail tone, and Garland's pupils were so gloomy that they seemed to be dripping with water.
The hearts of the elders and high-ranking officials were once again in suspense, and they all held their breath waiting for Evelin's next words.
"What if I were Edward's daughter?"
After the words fell, Evelin raised the paper in her hand.
Yuri, who was extremely shocked, immediately took it and handed it to Garland who was sitting in the main seat.
This remark spoke volumes, and everyone gasped and discussed in a very low voice.
Everyone could sense that the more Garland read Edward's handwritten letter, the colder he became.
"It is indeed written by Grandpa himself."
Garland raised his eyes and stared at Evelin angrily.
Those pupils filled with anger seemed to be spewing flames, and the words were squeezed out from between his teeth.
"what?!"
"This is a sin!"
The elders spread their hands, and the dean shook his head, pretending to be sad and angry.
"The prince would actually do such a thing..."
"please."
Evelyn walked slowly to Garland and stretched out her hand in a gesture of invitation.
Even though he looked polite, he was completely different from before.
She stared down at Garland's ink-black face with a provocative look.
Garland held his breath and walked down from the main seat. Evelyn sat down without any hesitation and looked down at everyone.
"From today on, I am the head of the Lan family, and I am also the king of the blood clan."
"I hope you will all attend the coronation ceremony in three days."
"It's time for the vampires to change their rules."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Everyone stopped whispering and, under Evelin's intimidation, knelt down with their left hands supporting Lan Qiangwei's chest.
"see a visitor out."
As Evelin finished speaking, the Lan family army surged out like a tide, leading everyone to quickly leave this place of trouble.
Everyone had bad intentions, and most of them were afraid of Evelin’s last words about changing the rules.
We are not afraid of her re-establishing the law, but we are afraid of her thoroughly investigating everyone.
No one here is innocent.
Either you have blood that you shouldn't have, or you have taken money that you shouldn't have.
"Humph, as soon as he took office, he announced that he would clean up his house."
"She is not afraid of pushing the people below her to impeach her!"
The dean walked out of the door with a completely different look on his face.
What he feared most was that one day he would be found out because he had not done many good things during his tenure.
It is easy to gain benefits and bully others by taking advantage of one's power.
It seems that he can't just sit there and wait for death, and he needs to quickly unite with others to reorganize this new king.
She is just a young girl, no matter how capable she is.
What kind of waves can be created amidst the rebuttals of the crowd?
“Evelyn, what do you mean?”
After Yuri left, Garland spoke first. He wanted to hear Evelyn give him an explanation in person.
"I can not understand what you say."
Evelyn stared into Garland's gloomy eyes, and now she was almost expressionless when facing him.
Strangely enough, now she seemed unwilling to explore what exactly made him angry.
"Are you grandpa's daughter?"
"You can do such a thing?"
