On the dance floor on the first floor, a group of people formed a wave-shaped circle with their bodies about an arm's length apart.

This group of people were uniformly dressed in black attire, with serious and cold expressions. The dazzling light of the crystal lamp reflected on the shiny leather shoes under their feet, making it dazzling.

They stepped on the marble floor rhythmically with their left feet in unison, making a series of cool "papa" sounds that echoed throughout the entire reception hall.

Jia Huan's heart was beating fast and she raised her eyes to look at Thomas. He saw Thomas standing straight and condescending, squinting at the dance floor with great enjoyment.

After a while, Thomas raised his hand, and the stamping on the dance floor suddenly stopped.

Thomas suddenly shouted - "Dedicate everything to the family!"

Everyone raised their right arms with their palms outward and repeated the same sentence.

Jia Huan didn't understand French, but he felt that these people looked weird, and the slogans they shouted were not loud, but they sounded like some kind of belief, which made people feel firm and unquestionable.

Thomas held Jia Huan's hand and slowly walked down the stairs, and the circle formed by the crowd gradually dispersed. The group of people came forward to greet Jia Huan, and couldn't help but look at Jia Huan up and down with their eyes.

At this time, Spinning stepped out from behind the champagne tower, bowed to Thomas, and then stood behind the two of them as usual.

Si Baining was also wearing a black dress. The young man looked more and more handsome standing next to these middle-aged people. When he thought that he was behind her, Jia Huan gradually relaxed his previous nervousness.

At this time, Thomas spoke again in a calm and majestic tone:

"Here I want to announce a decision to everyone. From now on, I will officially adopt Moy as my adopted daughter, and she will be the sole heir to my inheritance."

Everyone present was stunned, looking at Thomas and the strange girl beside him in disbelief.

Thomas still spoke in French when he said this. Jia Huan couldn't understand what he was talking about, but she felt countless stern looks shot at her in an instant, burning her cheeks.

Si Baining couldn't help but swallowed secretly, heir to the inheritance?! How could he give the inheritance rights to Jia Huan so easily?! This was simply equivalent to dropping a bomb within the Kabbalah family.

Sure enough, a middle-aged man with brown hair walked out of the crowd and stood opposite Thomas tensely.

Si Bo Ning unconsciously held his breath. This man's name was Donal. He was the second-in-command of the Kabbalah family. He was in charge of European securities trading. He was the family's financial advisor and a conservative Nozhidian (see related comments on the work).

Donal showed his beer belly and pointed at the family:

"Moy? If you want to adopt her, at least tell us who she is?"

"She is my adopted daughter." Thomas said calmly.

Donal was surprised, and then his eyes widened:

"Thomas! As the leader of the family, don't you know the importance of keeping the 'blue blood' pure?! Or do you want to use this child to humiliate someone?" ("Blue blood" means noble blood)

Donard was born into a noble family. Among his ancestors were three members of the Skull and Bones Society, and he was also a descendant of a noble marriage. Before Thomas took over as the leader of the Carrabba family, he was the person with the highest demand for appointment. Donard has always supported intermarriage among nobles, and he used the same method back then.

Reasons against Thomas marrying Moy, a commoner.

Thomas couldn't help but sneered when he heard Donal talking about his noble blood again:

"Whether blue blood purity is important, your son is the best proof."

As soon as this was said, there was a faint uproar from the crowd.

Si Boning took a cold breath. Everyone knew that Donal's child was mentally retarded, and out of kindness, everyone would never mention it in person. Unexpectedly, Thomas would poke Donal's pain in public for the sake of family fun.

"You——" Donal's eyes widened and his face turned red.

Thomas regarded Donal as nothing, looked straight past him, and looked at everyone calmly:

"There is no need to explain to anyone how to deal with my private inheritance. The successor of the Kalaba family will be made public before my death. I firmly believe that ability will always trump blood."

Having said this, Thomas glanced at Donal casually, and then smiled at everyone:

"The reception begins now, please have a good time."

Donal could no longer tolerate Thomas' humiliation to him, so he turned around and left Sherlock Castle angrily.

The huge crystal chandelier in the center of the hall looks like an upside-down hill, so bright that it is impossible to look directly at it.

Jia Huan's heart was beating fast. He looked back at Si Baining and saw that he nodded slightly. Jia Huan felt a little calmer in his heart. He looked at the marble floor under his feet, which was smoother than Xiling Lake, and quietly counted the numbers. There are white Roman columns with gold carvings on both sides of the main entrance. The family members admire everything here, it is dazzling and luxurious, as if it is the untouchable palace in fairy tales.

The guests returned to their usual elegant gentleman appearance, holding champagne glasses and smiling and chatting reservedly.

Although Jia Huan couldn't understand what Thomas and the man were talking about, she could feel that they were arguing because of her. From time to time, everyone looked at Jia Huan with doubtful eyes mixed with contempt, which fell on her like a needle prick. generally.

Although these people are well-dressed, their eyes are no different from those of the village women in Xiling Mountain.

These people looked down on themselves! Because of themselves, they even questioned Thomas and argued with him. Thomas held her hand and never let go for a moment, as if to prove that no matter how great the obstruction, he would never give up on family love.

Jia Huan felt sad, touched and very grateful to him. Jia Huan bit her lip and pulled Thomas' hand. When he lowered his head and looked at her, he gave Thomas a sweet smile:
Chapter completed!
