Chapter 75: Mother and Daughter Reunited

“Mother!”

“Isabella!”

Isabella threw herself into Lady Greta’s arms.

Lady Greta gently stroked Isabella’s head.

After three months apart, mother and daughter were finally reunited.

“Isabella, have you been well during this ti?”

Greta asked about how she had been lately.

“Don’t worry, Mother. Mr. Ryan has been taking care of this whole ti, so I’ve been doing very well.”

The mont Isabella thought of the intimate monts she had shared with Ryan at night, her face imdiately flushed red.

When Greta saw Isabella’s expression, she thought her daughter was simply overwheld by the joy of their reunion.

“That makes sense. We truly owe everything to Mr. Ryan this ti. Not only did he take care of you for three months, he even ca back to rescue .”

Greta turned to Ryan and bowed in thanks. “Mr. Ryan, everyone, thank you for coming to save .”

“There’s no need to be so formal, my lady.”

Ryan waved his hands repeatedly and said softly, “Mr. Alfred and I are business partners. Now that sothing has happened to him, it is only natural for to help take care of Isabella.”

Of course, he had simply been taking care of her a little too intimately.

Ryan kept that thought to himself and did not say it aloud.

As for his relationship with Isabella,

he felt it would be better for Isabella to tell Greta personally.

“All right, Nika, Nila, prepare dinner to celebrate Lady Greta’s arrival.”

“Yes, Master.” x2

By this ti, the Soaring had already left the Jurgen Family’s territory.

Dinner had also been prepared.

After three months, Greta was finally able to enjoy a proper al again.

While she had been under house arrest in the castle,

she had been given food and drink every day, yes, but the taste had been beyond criticism.

It had been enough only to fill her stomach.

During dinner, Ryan and Nika did not speak.

Greta and Isabella talked about everything that had happened during this ti.

Isabella animatedly told her mother about how much she had grown over the past few months.

Seeing such a great change in her daughter, Greta was overjoyed.

She knew that all of this was thanks to Ryan.

So the way she looked at him was filled with gratitude.

Ryan could feel Lady Greta’s gaze as well.

But he truly did not dare et it.

After all, he had already thoroughly made Isabella his.

If Greta were to find out about that, Ryan honestly did not know how he would face her.

After dinner,

everyone began discussing what to do next.

“Mr. Ryan, what should we do from here? Although I’ve been rescued now, my husband still doesn’t know about it. And if we want him to return to the Jurgen Family, that will be very difficult.”

Greta asked.

“Mother, you don’t know where Father is either?”

Isabella lifted her head and looked at Greta.

“I’m sorry, Isabella. I know Hermann has been tracking Alfred, but there is no way he would tell intelligence as important as Alfred’s exact whereabouts.”

“Isabella, Lady Greta, you don’t need to worry.”

Ryan cut in. “With Mr. Alfred’s strength, as long as he isn’t deliberately seeking death, no one in this world can kill him. We may not know where he is right now, but one day, we will find him.”

“For now, we only need to think about one thing.”

“What thing?”

Greta looked at Ryan.

“How do we let Alfred know that Lady Greta has already been rescued? I believe that as long as he learns this, he will return at once.”

Ryan spoke with complete confidence.

“Mm... that does make sense.”

Greta murmured quietly.

“B-But how are we supposed to let Father know that?”

Isabella voiced her doubt.

“It’s simple.”

Ryan smiled and explained, “Lady Greta will need to work hard to beco the interim family head, and then release notices related to the search.”

“That way, once Mr. Alfred sees the news, he will imdiately understand that Lady Greta has escaped danger.”

“The interim family head...?”

Greta lowered her head in thought.

She was weighing whether Ryan’s suggestion was feasible.

To be fair,

Greta thought Ryan’s proposal was excellent.

If they sent out a large number of people to search for Alfred,

then the entire Jurgen Family business might be affected.

And if that happened, then even if they managed to bring Mr. Alfred back in the end, the Jurgen Family would already exist in na only.

As things stood now,

under the rule of Hermann and Otto,

the Jurgen Family’s prestige in this land had fallen sharply.

Countless commoners had vented the dissatisfaction in their hearts upon the Jurgen Family.

And there were also countless small families simply waiting.

Waiting for what?

Naturally, they were waiting for the mont the Jurgen Family finally collapsed.

When a whale falls, all things thrive.

If Alfred were still the family head,

then no matter how weakened the Jurgen Family beca,

the surrounding small families would never dare set their sights on it.

But now things are different.

Now Hermann and Otto were running things together.

The two of them had charged ahead with great fanfare,

only to end up provoking public outrage.

And even after things had reached this point, Hermann and Otto still did not care.

Deep down, they arrogantly believed that the rabble of commoners could never stir up any real trouble.

The people from the other families, of course, had no intention of telling Hermann that.

On the contrary, they even had family mbers who were on friendly terms with Hermann and Otto invite Hermann out to gatherings, all so that he would ignore the family’s current state.

They were waiting for the day when a falling wall would be pushed by all.

Greta raised her head and looked steadily at Ryan. “Mr. Ryan, your thod is excellent. The only problem is that winning the support of the elders will be extrely difficult.”

“There is no need to worry, my lady.” Ryan spoke with confidence. “Do you happen to know about the business arrangent between Mr. Alfred and ?”

“Of course. It’s the product called perfu, correct?”

“That’s right. perfu.”

Ryan nodded and continued, “It has already been three months since I began working with Mr. Alfred. Not long ago, I received the first profit share from the perfu business. My share alone was 600,000 Gold Coins.”

“Six hundred thousand? Gold Coins?”

Greta cried out in shock, then imdiately covered her mouth, realizing she had lost her composure.

But there was no hiding the astonishnt in her eyes.

“You heard correctly, my lady. In just three months, my profit share alone reached 600,000 Gold Coins. And rember, I only receive thirty percent of the profits. The Jurgen Family receives seventy percent.”

She had known that perfu brought in trendous profits, but she had never known the exact amount.

Today was the first ti she had learned the true profit figures from Ryan.

It was practically profiteering.

The profit from perfu sales alone was already roughly equal to the total profit of all the Jurgen Family’s other businesses combined.

“Mr. Ryan, your idea is...?”

Greta already had a guess in her heart, but she still wanted Ryan to confirm it himself.

The mont Ryan saw the expression on Greta’s face, he knew she had already guessed it, so he did not keep her in suspense.

“You’re a clever woman, my lady. I’m sure you’ve already guessed what I’m thinking.”

Ryan smiled and continued, “If I tell the Jurgen Family elders that perfu must be managed by you, my lady, do you think they would agree to let you beco the interim family head?”

“That... yes, that really would make the elders agree.”

After thinking for a mont, Greta gave an affirmative answer.

The elders would definitely agree.

After all, this was not a business involving one or ten Gold Coins.

This was a business involving millions of Gold Coins.

Not even Hermann could defy the will of all the elders.

And on top of that, Hermann and Otto’s actions during this period had already brought disgrace upon the Jurgen Family.

So the elders would certainly support Lady Greta.

The reason the elders had originally appointed Hermann as interim family head

was because Greta had been placed under house arrest by Hermann, while Isabella had gone missing.

With no other choice available, the elders could only appoint Hermann as interim family head.

But now everything was different.

Greta had already escaped confinent.

Isabella had also returned to Greta’s side.

And on top of that, there was Ryan’s support.

With all of those conditions combined, Greta becoming the interim family head was already a foregone conclusion.

“And even taking a step back, if the elders still refuse to let you beco interim family head, then Isabella can beco the interim family head instead.”

Ryan turned his gaze toward Isabella.

“Isabella is Mr. Alfred’s daughter and the young miss of the Jurgen Family. While Mr. Alfred is absent, it is only natural for her to serve as interim family head.”

“Ah? , interim family head? N-No, I can’t do that.”

Isabella waved her hands frantically.

“I’m not saying you would truly take over as interim family head. You would simply be an alternative option, and my lady would still be there to assist you.”

Ryan explained.

“Oh, I see.”

Isabella let out a sigh of relief.

She knew her own abilities. They were nowhere near enough to lead the family.

“My lady, if the elders try to obstruct this by questioning Isabella’s strength, then Isabella can simply demonstrate her abilities.”

Ryan added.

He had taken the issue of a family successor’s strength into consideration.

No one had ever said that the family head absolutely had to be the strongest mber of the family.

But a certain level of strength was certainly required.

In the past, Isabella had been nothing more than an introverted recluse, unable to prove her capabilities to the elders.

But that was in the past.

Now Isabella had been completely transford.

After enduring Ryan’s intense training, her ntal fortitude had improved dramatically.

And the growth in her combat ability was even more obvious.

Earlier, when Ryan and the others had confronted Marcus, Isabella had already displayed remarkably impressive combat ability.

That level of ability was enough to qualify Isabella to beco the family head.

It was only because Mr. Alfred was still alive that Isabella could be nothing more than the interim family head for now.

“All right, I understand. Then we’ll proceed according to your plan, Mr. Ryan. In Alfred’s na, I will convene a family council and strip Hermann of his position as interim family head.”

Greta agreed.

“That settles it for now. My lady, you must be tired. Isabella, take your mother to rest. I’m sure the two of you have a great deal to say to each other.”

Beaming with happiness, Isabella took Greta by the hand and led her toward the bedroom.
