Chapter 997
Camilla let out a desperate scream and clutched her pregnant belly as she dropped to her knees, trying to beg Andrew for mercy. โMr. Lloyd, Iโm pregnantโฆ please, Iโm begging you for the sake of my baby, spare us! Please, just give us a second chance!โ
However, Andrew stepped to the side, refusing her plea without a second thought. โSorry, but begging now is a little too late.โ
He turned to Alfred and asked calmly, โAlfred, Iโm thinking of appointing Nyla as the new head of the Goth family. Do you believe sheโs fit for the role?โ
Alfred did not hesitate for a second. โMr. Lloyd, absolutely. No question sheโs more than qualified. Butโฆ if I may add just one small conditionโฆโ
Before he could even finish, Andrew cut in with a cool tone. โI already know what youโre trying to say. You want me to spare the Goth family, right? Donโt worry. As long as Nyla takes the leadership role and you support her properlyโฆ Iโll personally make sure the Goth family bounces back. In fact, Iโll help them rise even higher in Jayrodale than ever before.โ
Alfred blinked in surprise, then a huge grin spread across his face. โMr. Lloyd, did you just say youโd support the Goth family?โ He bowed with excitement, doing his best to contain the joy in his voice.
Andrew shot him a glance with a half-smile. โDo you think Iโm the type to joke about this?โ
With full confidence, Alfred stood tall and declared, โNyla, from this moment forward, you are the new head of the Goth family. You have my full support, as your great-uncle.โ
Dominic felt the world spinning around him. His vision blurred, and he nearly collapsed as he roared, โUncle Alfred, you canโt do this! This is a coup!โ
Camilla burst into tears beside him, screaming, โIf Dominic loses his position as head, then what happens to us? What about our child?โ
Alfredโs eyes were ice cold as he growled, โThe two of you should get the hell out of my sight! None of this wouldโve happened to our family if it werenโt for your incompetence and arrogance. Right now, Nyla is the future โ the core of our legacy. Are you deaf? Didnโt you hear Mr. Lloyd say he will personally support her?โ
Dominic and Camilla were speechless, their faces ghost-white.
Andrew had not raised a hand against them. All it took was a few words to shift the entire power structure of the Goth family. He did not just oust a family head โ he made the entire household turn against their own leaders.
โWe support Ms. Goth as our new head!โ
โThatโs right! From today on, Nyla leads the Goth family!โ
โDominic and Camilla have no strength or integrity โ they donโt deserve to lead! Get them out of here!โ
One by one, the other family members stepped forward, voicing their support for Nyla.
Andrew had not forced a single word out of them, but now it was clear โ Dominic had lost the trust and loyalty of his entire family.

Camilla grabbed Dominicโs shirt, sobbing in panic. โDominic! Do something! Say something!โ
However, Dominic shut his eyes, looking like a hollowed-out shell. โItโs over. Weโre done. Didnโt you hear them? Everyone wants us gone.โ
Camilla exploded. โUseless! Youโre a complete disgrace! Nyla is your daughter โ beg her! Beg her not to go through with this! Do it!โ
The realization hit Dominic like a lightning bolt. He scrambled across the floor toward Nyla. โNyla, I was wrong. Iโm sorry โ I truly regret everything! Please, give me another chance. Spare me and Camillaโฆ weโll do anything!โ
