Chapter 482 - "A Chairwoman"
I'm screwed!
I forgot she could read my mind–
Ainsley almost slapped her cheek.
FCC, I SHOULDN'T THINK ANYTHING AT ALL! SHE CAN READ ME!
Ainsley felt like her brain wasn't working properly anymore. This was the first time she met a mind-reading ability user...so she didn't know what to do!
Sensing Ainsley's anxiety, the woman stopped teasing Ainsley and sighed.
"It's okay...I'll try not to read your mind, so you don't need to be on edge around me, okay?"
When the woman said that, her voice sounded a bit melancholic, and her previously bright face turned gloomy.
'Yeah, no one likes to get their minds exposed to another person, after all. Even my son…'
Jacqueline realised that she was going to think too far once more. Thus, she immediately stopped her thoughts and tried to divert the conversation.
"Anyway, I called you here because I wanted to meet you. You don't mind, right?" Jacqueline giggled while ruffling her poodle-like hair. She's truly unique in a sense.
"Hwum. I don't mwind…" Ainsley nodded at Jacqueline.
It's actually an honor to meet someone from the Billios Family, anyway….even though it's a bit nerve-wracking.
"Then, do you know what my position is in the Billios Family?" Jacqueline looked at Ainsley, and she couldn't help but show a slightly evil smirk…
When she smiled like that, she resembled Jake's easy-going yet evil nature by a lot. Oh no, that young man might have inherited the attitude from a certain someone!
"Uh...youl position…" Getting asked like that, Ainsley was caught off guard. The baby moved her legs a bit while still sitting on Jacqueline's lap.
Her position in the family? Must be quite high, right? Maybe a main descendant...uh...the family head's auntie? A daughter-in-law?
Ah, no, no, she's definitely the Billios Family's main descendant.
Uh...then...what is it…
"An...advisol? Vice head?" Ainsley tilted her head as she made her guess. At first, she didn't think much and wouldn't really care whether Jacqueline held an important position or not…
But when Jacqueline opened her mouth...Ainsley's expectation was thrown to the sea.
"Well, I'm the chairwoman. You can say I'm above the family head, like the family head's supervisor. You know...like the empress dowager."
!
There's a position higher than the family head??
Ainsley was absolutely baffled. The girl looked at Jacqueline with eyes full of questions.
"Isn't the famiwi head position...the highest?"
Since she's also the family head and held the most authority in the family, she couldn't help but be curious about the woman's words.
Even when they had just met a few minutes ago, Ainsley felt that she could trust this woman and asked her tons of things.
As expected, Jacqueline didn't refuse to answer and immediately replied to Ainsley's question.
"Well, things can be different in the non-mafia family. But let's talk about the mafia family first."
Jacqueline took a deep breath before continuing.
"Usually, mid-rank mafia families have the family head at the highest position, but for high-rank families and above, they still have elder councils or chairperson."
The elder councils or the chairperson was usually the family head's direct family, such as their father, mother, uncle, auntie, grandma, or grandpa.
It all happened because high-ranking mafia families were too big to be managed by only one person. In this case, the family head.
The elder councils or the chairperson supervised the family head and made sure that they're not doing things as they pleased.
That's why Evan couldn't immediately make Ainsley's family as his family's sworn ally because he didn't get the elder councils' approval yet.
The elders were all the direct descendants of the family that had retired. They could be the previous family head, or the grandma, grandpa, auntie, uncle…
So on.
"For a non-mafia family like ours, we usually adopt the business-style hierarchy. In a company, there can be the CEO, the chairman, the director and other shareholders too, right?"
It didn't mean one person controlled everything like a tyrant or a king in the medieval era. If that happened, under Jake's easy-going nature, the Billios Family would have sought trouble here and there…
"And I'm coincidentally the current family head's mother and I'm from the direct descendant line. Thus, instead of my husband, I become the chairwoman."
Jacqueline grinned when she said that. She looked really proud of her position and what she had done for the Billios Family!
Seeing Jacqueline's triumphant smile, Ainsley couldn't help but laugh.
"So auntwie is actually swo powerful? Cwool! I bet your son must be an outstanding famiwi head too...because ywou are amazwing!"
Ainsley's honeyed tongue made a move once more, and Jacqueline couldn't resist the temptation.
The woman unknowingly blushed while giggling like a maiden despite her age around fifties.
"Hahaha, you are such a sweet child! But well, my son, the current family head, isn't that kind...he is brilliant and all but his personality...ugh. He's a devil."
When Jacqueline mentioned her son, she instantly looked a bit gentler than before but there's also this silent rage in her eyes.
If her son was right in front of her, she would have spanked him to the moon.
Seeing Jacqueline's reaction, Ainsley's curiosity was tickled. The baby tugged on Jacqueline's ribbon accessories on her chest and asked innocently.
"Who is your son, auntwie? I have nevel seen the Billios Famiwi head's face...he's too mystewious..."
Oh, well, even Jacqueline was mysterious. If not, she would have recognised the woman as the Billios Family's chairwoman!
When Ainsley asked like that, Jacqueline appeared to be a bit confused as she poked Ainsley's cheek.
"Haven't you met him already? He's the Billios Casino owner...the young man you met under the name 'Zack', ah!"
….Z-ZACKKKK??
