Meng Li scrutinized Jon, her brows furrowing as she coldly remarked, “You do resemble Jon, but unfortunately, you’re not him. Jon has been in a wheelchair for years and is likely dead by now. Are you trying to impersonate a corpse, thinking you can escape scrutiny?”
“You can call to verify if I’m real,” Jon replied with a smile.
Seeing Jon’s calm demeanor, Meng Li ’s expression grew increasingly uncertain.
“I have the contact information for Jon’s granddaughter, Alice. I’ll ask her right now,” a young girl said.
The young girl connected to Alice via video call and turned the camera towards Jon.
“Grandpa, what are you doing here?” Alice exclaimed, surprised to see her grandfather on the screen.
“Alice, they don’t believe I’m your grandpa and want to confirm. Now that it’s verified, you can hang up the video,” Jon said with a warm smile.
“Grandpa, next time you go out, you have to take me with you,” Alice pouted.
“I’ll definitely take you next time,” Jon chuckled.
After hanging up the video call, everyone was convinced of Jon’s identity.
Meng Li ’s face darkened as she momentarily lost her words; this man truly was her uncle.
“You… weren’t you supposed to be dying? How come you look so well now?” Meng Li asked incredulously.
“When your mood improves, your health follows. Meng Li, let your grandson apologize to Mr. Jiang,” Jon replied.
“Ha! Even if you are Jon Delson, what does it matter? The only thing connecting you to the Delson family is your surname; as for who you are, you’re no longer one of us. You have no right to be here at our family gathering today. You’d better leave before we throw you out,” Bowen interjected with a sneer as he regained his composure.
“Bowen is right; you’re not one of us anymore. What are you doing here today?” Meng Li questioned sternly.
“I came for the same reason you did. Although I’ve been away from the Delson family for years, I am still one of them. How could I not attend such an important event as the Clan Leader election?” Jon replied calmly.
“What do you mean? Are you here to compete for the Clan Leader position?” Meng Li ’s expression darkened.
“The Clan Leader position is mine for the taking today,” Jon declared confidently, standing tall. With Jiang Chen backing him up, he felt he couldn’t keep a low profile even if he wanted to.
The crowd erupted in murmurs upon hearing that Jon intended to contest for the Clan Leader position—some scoffed while others were shocked.
Of course, most regarded Jon’s claim as an arrogant joke; he was not even eligible to be on the candidate list for Clan Leader.
“Ha ha! Jon, even if you're alive, what does it matter? The Clan Leader position is elected by us. Ask around—who here would vote for you?” someone mocked.
This remark drew laughter from the crowd.
Now the Delson family had split into three factions of equal strength; Jon’s sudden appearance did not warrant any serious consideration from any side but instead turned him into a laughingstock.
"You will vote for me," Jon said with a slight smile, exuding confidence.
"Why would we vote for you? Are you out of your mind?" The crowd burst into laughter. Jon's words were utterly absurd, yet he delivered them with such unwavering confidence that the stark contrast was simply amusing.
