I transmigrated and got a husband and a son!-Chapter 1229: She’s a what?
Chapter 1229: She’s a what?
Hera already discussed her plans with Nigel before the meeting. Hence, he was aware that Hera would appoint him as the interim head until Charlotte was ready. Even so, he was a little worried about Hera.
Nigel was aware of Hera’s recent financial struggle. If she left now, even Dominic’s financial aid wouldn’t be enough to settle the entire financial problem. Hence, he discussed it with Charlotte as he believed that even if he was given the authority to decide, Charlotte still had the right to know about it and decide with him.
"Hera! Nigel told me about your financial problems, you can take our family’s money!"
Moose’s eyes blazed and quickly rushed to Charlotte’s side. "Miss Charlotte, are you sure about that?"
"Yes!"
"How much?"
Charlotte rubbed his chin and turned to Nigel.
Nigel smiled and said, "We’ll still need to recover the losses of the Oxley Family and compensate for the damages Florence Oxley caused. However, we’ll do our best to give you as much as the Oxley Family can."
Hearing this, Moose wasn’t reassured. Considering the ruins of the island and the damage Florence had caused, he already estimated how much the Oxley family would have to shell out just for those. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"Do not worry. The Ashton Family already decided on this." Suddenly, the young Mister Ashton’s voice was heard behind Hera and Dominic. They were just getting out of the meeting room, but the Reapers’ voices were so loud they heard everything. "We know because of what happened, the Reapers have to stop business for the time being. Our Ashton Family wants to give the reapers something as a means of appreciation and gratitude."
"Our family will help as well." the young Mister Capeti nodded. "I’m also very interested in Mr. Joker’s research work. If it’s okay with everyone, our family would like to fund his research."
Joker’s eyes lit up, looking at the young Mister Capeti as if he just met his new god.
"Our Silvers Family will also give aid," Lukas offered. "Just tell me the numbers. It’s fine."
Lukas then cast Dominic a knowing look, and Dominic just faintly smiled.
"As for our Ebonhart..." Mr. Ebonhart rubbed his chin. "I know Miss Hera doesn’t want anything to do with us. However, our Ebonhart Family will not mind granting each of your requests. Be it a new job or a new identity, a place to start a new or if you want to enter the Secret Society, we’ll assist you with the best of our family’s power. Though I think at this point, we’ve already considered you as part of the one and only secret family the five other families served."
Mr. Ebonhart didn’t offer more financial aid because Lukas and the young Mr. Ashtone already did. Among the five families, the Silvers were the wealthiest.
"Uh... can I make a request?" Primo raised a hand as he found his voice in this discussion. "Can you take Moose as far away from me as possible? If possible, he’ll be across the globe wherever I am?"
Mr. Ebonhart chuckled. "I’m afraid that is beyond our capacity. So long as it doesn’t harm others, or give you superpowers, we can make it happen."
Primo scrunched up his nose because that was the only thing he wanted at the moment. He shrugged upon earning a glare from Moose.
"Please, no pressure. Before you leave, I’ll give you my personal contact number. You can always give me a call in the future and I will answer it timely." Mr. Ebonhart amicably offered. His demeanor completely changed from earlier.
When Hera left the meeting room, the rest of the family were able to talk about some matters. One of them was to acknowledge the Reapers as the real Secret Family, not the sixth member, but the one on top of the chain, while the rest of the family was underneath them.
Hera might not want anything to do with the Secret Society, but they planned to uphold their subservience. In this case, if all five families knew they were under someone, they could avoid future problems regarding power. If the problems arise, then they could confront Hera.
Who would dare?
Regardless if Hera wanted this or not, they already agreed she could always claim what was hers. If not her, then her children could. This rule would be implemented from today onwards and forever, which the future generation would carry.
It was the best resolution they could think of.
"Good!" Moose was appeased by this. Not only he would get a big paycheck, but he also had a wish from the genie called Mr. Ebonhart. He knew he could use that request in the future.
"Since that is settled..." Hera cleared her throat and fluttered her eyelashes at Dominic. However, she suddenly caught Ulysses from her peripheral.
Her coquettish remarks rolled back to her throat and turned her head. Charlotte was beaming at her happily while Ulysses kept his eyes on Charlotte. Charlotte was still wearing a dress and his hair was styled in a pretty way, and it worried Hera.
She didn’t want Charlotte to live a life of deception. If Charlotte was still trying to hide his gender because that was what he was told, then Hera thought her cousin should know it was fine. But if being a girl is what Charlotte wanted, who was she to intercept?
"Oh." Hera cleared her throat and faced the other families. "By the way, have any of you aware this cousin of mine is a he?"
"Huh?"
Question marks filled everyone’s thought bubble at this random question thrown out there without a heads up. They all looked at her incredulously, only to see Hera raise her hand horizontally in front of Chalotte’s chin.
"From here and up looks like a girl, but everything down her neck is not," she explained in the simplest words she could. "So, young Ulysses, unless you’re into sword fights, then continue pursuing him."
For a moment, everyone just kept their eyes on Hera. When they intuitively shifted their eyes on Charlotte, their faces twitched and twisted in disbelief.
"She’s a what?!"
