Of course, when Leroy proposed to bring the three of them to the Sloan Family, the family elders and the higher-ups opposed his idea.
"That's when we know that we need an heir to the family, but not the twins. We can't accept the twins because of family tradition."
Homosexuality was still a taboo among the mafias, so it was not a shocking thing that the family didn't recognise the twins as the rightful heir to the family.
"That's why we ask Leroy to make another baby. This time, because we don't have a lot of money left, we chose a surrogate mother…"
And that's how Ainsley was born.
"Leroy stayed with the family to raise you for three years before he suddenly disappeared. None of us kidnapped him or anything, really."
Leroy just didn't want to stay with this declining and corrupt family anymore.
He chose to leave and reunite with his little family outside of the Sloan Family.
"Then, as per tradition, we push you to be the new family head…and the rest of the story…you also know it."
Yes. After Ainsley became the new family head, many people in the family thought that she would be a puppet family head.
Many foxes and snakes tried to be her guardian to control her. Anyway, her father left her alone. So, anyone could be Ainsley's guardian.
Who would have known that Ainsley was smart and didn't let herself be controlled by her guardian?
She even cleaned up the family and restored the family full of corrupt people to a clean state!
And she did it in less than a month.
In less than a year, she successfully brought the family to be a high-ranking family, and now, she's developing a guild belonging to their family.
She even had a lot of cooperation with many powerhouses, including the non-human races.
Even the Sloan Family in their glorious era also found it hard to contact the non-human races, much less do business with them.
But Ainsley managed to do it in just a year.
The higher-ups couldn't help but reveal a trace of pride and awe of Ainsley.
They looked at the baby with a gentle smile on their face.
They're not kind-hearted people at all. They were all mafias, and they were all selfish inside.
But once they found a good leader, they would lower their heads and stop thinking of doing anything that might harm the family.
In the past, Leroy was really useless and not even strong at all.
Thus, the family had many corrupt members and brazen people.
The mafia family had always been like this, and Leroy couldn't accept that.
But now, with a competent leader like Ainsley, even those with evil thoughts couldn't help but be loyal to Ainsley.
After all, if the family thrived, they also benefited from it.
No need to be corrupt or something. Just be obedient and enjoy the benefit.
"So…the thing about us kidnapping Leroy and kicking him out of the family by making use of the family rules…it is false."
Leroy left on his own, and the family never kicked him out.
This is the truth.
But maybe, Leroy did leave because the Sloan Family pressured him, and the young man couldn't take it anymore.
In the end, he chose to leave his youngest daughter and put all the responsibility on her shoulder.
If someone asked why Leroy didn't bring Ainsley with him, and whether he really loved Ainsley or not…
Well, the answer is simple.
Leroy did have feelings for Ainsley. He did have a fatherly affection for her.
After all, no matter what, even if Ainsley didn't have Ren's genes, she's still his daughter.
The one who inherited most of his genes.
That's why Leroy didn't immediately leave after Ainsley was born. He waited until he couldn't hold on anymore before leaving.
As for why he didn't take Ainsley with him…it was clear that the family elders wouldn't let him do that.
Ainsley was indeed neglected and no one cared about her. But she's still an heir in name.
The elders insisted on pushing Ainsley to be the next family head, all to preserve the family rules and tradition.
As for who was the one in charge of the family…no one cared.
Anyone could compete for that position as long as they became Ainsley's guardian.
This is why Ainsley would never agree with Leroy becoming her legal guardian.
Even if he said that he wouldn't interfere with the family matters, he still had the authority to do that.
And if he did use his authority, Ainsley could do nothing about it.
Even the family elders and the higher-ups could only curse the previous generations for creating this kind of rule.
So far, no one dared to change the family tradition and rules.
But Ainsley planned to do that after they officially became as strong as the 7 sacred families and reclaimed the glory they had lost.
If it's like that, she could change the family's dumb rules and traditions, right? Even the previous generations wouldn't oppose her.
After all, none of them became dead spirits and lingered around the Sloan Family Mansion to guard the family anymore.
No one could actually oppose Ainsley if she wanted to change the family tradition and rules.
Only the elders and the higher-ups' would resist but in the end, they would also agree that what Ainsle did was all for the family itself.
These traditions and rules were good in the past, but as time passed, it needed to change.
And Ainsley is here to change it and bring a new era to her Sloan Family.
After listening to the higher-ups' explanations, Ainsley rubbed her chin and fell into deep thoughts.
Now, now, what to do to refute Leroy?
