As Cedric and Vincent entered the mansion, they were met with a tense atmosphere. The capos, gathered by Miller's instigation, were clearly displeased and eager to voice their grievances. One of the capos, Marco, confronted Cedric with a scowl on his face."You expect us to take orders from that woman, Cedric?" Marco spat, his voice dripping with disdain. "She's got no experience, no understanding of how things work around here. It's a mockery to have her in charge!"Cedric stepped forward, his voice firm and resolute. "You all seem to forget that Gerald made this decision for a reason. He saw something in Virginia that we might have overlooked. She may not have the same background as us, but that doesn't mean she can't lead effectively."Another capo, Giovanni, scoffed. "Lead effectively? She can barely handle herself, let alone a criminal organization. This is a dangerous game we're playing, and we need someone with real knowledge and expertise, not some naïve outsider."Ced

Both Miller and Vincent paused as their nephew pointed at the flaw. Undoubtedly, they weren’t the perfect partners in crime. In fact, it was obvious that they had almost nothing in common other than their goal of taking over Gerald's mafia clan. Still oblivious to Cedric’s act of bringing conflict to their table, the two listened to him closely.“To be frank, I’m pretty sure Uncle Vincent is more worthy to be the successor than you, Uncle Miller,” Cedric said fraudulently.Vincent’s eyes lightened up in contrast to Miller who was still trying to comprehend what his nephew just told. In a huff, the latter protested, “Don’t you dare to patronize these experienced men, Cedric. You're just an immature brat who doesn't know anything about the mafia world.”“You’re wrong, Uncle.” smiled Cedric, which only fueled Miller’s confusion and anger. “Remember, you don’t share the same blood with my Dad.

Cedric took a step forward, his charismatic flair in full display. "So, gentlemen, are we to believe that this orchestrated chaos is simply your way of getting our attention?"Vincent's laughter, grandiose and boisterous, filled the air. "You catch on quickly, young Cedric. But then again, intelligence seems to run in the family."Cedric's retort was swift and sardonic. "Indeed, it's hard to miss when one is surrounded by such eloquence."Meanwhile, Virginia's subtle movements caught the attention of Vincent and Miller's men, who instinctively shifted their positions to maintain a perimeter. Virginia's gaze remained steady, her voice a blend of charm and calculated elegance.
