Respectfully, Jessica placed the ashes on the table and said solemnly, "These are the ashes."The room fell into a dead silence. People looked at her with various expressions.Old Commander Taylor was teasing his great-grandson a moment ago, before his face was slightly red, turning pale as Jessica continued, "David's ashes."A tense silence filled the room.Among the children's lively chatter, there was no other sound. Jessica dared not look up to see the reactions of the Taylor family members.Suddenly, a voice urgently called out, "Wife, my wife...""Sister-in-law..."David's mother fainted, and chaos erupted in the hall.As Jessica bit her lip and looked up, a young woman collapsed in her husband's arms, pale-faced. Old Commander Taylor looked at Jessica with a mix of emotions. Mr. Jason pulled Mr. Marcus aside, hastily asking what was going on.In the midst of the chaos, Old Commander Taylor picked up the ashes, his trembling hand clearly visible to everyone.As he removed the li

Saxon laughed. "Do you have that capability?""You'll see how much capability we have when you try us," Jessica smiled, running a hand through her slightly tousled hair. "Why did you call this time?""I was careless to let you escape last time. Next time, you won't be so lucky." Saxon coldly smiled.Even though they were on the phone, Jessica felt as if a cold snake was coiling around her neck. That feeling was uncomfortable."Next time? You better have a life to wait until next time," Jessica sneered. "The next time we meet, it might be your last. By the way, I heard about your father's situation at dinner. He seems to be in a pretty sorry state now. He worked so hard to protect you all those years ago. Why don't you come back and take care of him?""Jessica and Marcus are so amazing. How did you manage to convince the Taylor family to team up against the Mafia?" Saxon didn't answer but instead asked. The news came in last night that Old Commander Taylor had used all his connections

The neutral elder led the way in voting to oust Saxon, casting his approval.One advantage of this meeting was that the votes were public – when you voted in favor, you placed your plastic plaque down for all to see.So the Mafia's ousting of Saxon in the election this time around was almost a unanimous decision. This was what they call the herd mentality.This time it was a deterrent effect.The three elders who had already agreed to oust Saxon also voted in favor, making it four approving votes. The remaining elders had no choice, so despite their reluctance, they also cast their votes in favor.With a unanimous vote, Saxon was ousted.This action signaled Saxon's exit from the stage as godfather of the Mafia.Duncan's gaze was indifferent as he scanned the room, casually stating, "The Mafia cannot go a day without a leader. Given the current tension, there must be someone to lead the Mafia to quell this turmoil. So, those who agree with me becoming the godfather, please vote."Ther

As the news traveled overnight to W City, Mr. Marcus, Aaron, and Derrick found themselves caught off guard. Although Aaron and Derrick had never met Duncan and Herman and were unfamiliar with the brothers' tactics, they were equally surprised at how quickly they took control of the Mafia.There had been no warning signs. Saxon wielded absolute power within the Mafia, making it seemingly very difficult to topple him. How had the brothers managed it? Even if they succeeded in bringing down Saxon, there were plenty of others more qualified to lead as the new godfather.Mr. Marcus was feeling uneasy, even though with Saxon out of the picture, he wouldn't pose a threat anymore, but Duncan and Herman taking over the mafia put a lot of pressure on him."Maybe Rose and Camellia can handle them," Jessica suggested optimistically, believing in the power of love, especially from strong women like Camellia and Rose, who could easily win someone over."You never know who will come out on top," Mr.

Henry hesitated, and then coldly smiled, "Yes, we found him, but he escaped. The cunning rabbit has multiple burrows. Wherever he goes, he always leaves a way out. The Mafia is in the hands of Duncan and Herman now, with just a few loyal subordinates protecting Saxon. There's no real threat there. I've set up a net, he won't escape for long. He's now a wanted man, everyone is after him, and no one will take him in; it's good for him to enjoy this time on the run."It wouldn't be interesting to catch him too soon. The goal was to let him enjoy this period of escape. From being a figure of power and influence, the godfather of the Mafia, to becoming a wanted criminal - the taste of it would be quite enjoyable. Henry intentionally wanted Saxon to have that experience."Distorted traits are indeed hereditary," Jessica chuckled. He inherited Mr. Marcus's twisted sense of humor; he enjoyed hearing the sounds of people being tormented before they died."Mommy, don't worry about me; once you
