"I intend to do so. I have the priority right to take control."
Dexter Davenport stared at her, stunned. Her declaration had shaken his usual composure, but more than that, he was pleasantly surprised.
In all these years, no Sect Leader's wife had ever offered to take control, let alone pass the Sect Leader's assessment.
Ethan Lockwood had told her all of this, but he hadn't told her to do it; this was her own decision. That way, no one could use Dexter Davenport's health as an issue anymore.
"Well..."
The relatives were speechless for a moment. Such a rule did exist, but for many years, it had existed in name only.
"A woman running the family? That's preposterous..."
Rosalind's gaze fixed on the speaker. "We're in a new era. Besides, I said I will pass the assessment. You can rest assured."
