Hearing that, Eugene sneered. Then, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Lara. “How did you know that I was
poisoned?” At once, Lara felt her heart sink. Immediately afterward, she explained herself by saying, “I was also
deeply concerned about you. We couldn’t see you, and your dad was thinking about you.
So, I asked my assistant to inquire about your condition. I have no idea who she inquired from and let us think you
were critically ill, but it’s better now that you’re fine. It saves us the time and effort in worrying that the company
has no leader and figuring out who to elect as the new president.”
Listening to Lara’s watertight statement, Eugene scoffed. “Deeply concerned about me? When I was critically ill,
you guys convened all the shareholders together to fight for my current position. You guys even bothered my aging
Grandpa to make a trip to the company and fight with his own brothers to the point that his face turned purple with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrage. And you dare to call this concern?!!!”
At this moment, Edward frowned slightly as he was a little dissatisfied with Eugene’s attitude toward Lara. “You
were lying in the hospital for a few days and didn’t come to the company. Do you know how messed up the
situation in the company was? Do you know how panicked the company’s employees were? Lara and I were simply
discussing how to help you stabilize the situation. So, how is that not regarded as our concern about you?”
There was no ounce of expression on Eugene’s face while his pair of sharp eyes stared at Edward. Eugene then
retorted with a cold and deep voice, “So, the solution that you guys discussed was to take over my position while I
was critically ill? Not to mention, Doctor Maxwell had already made it clear to you all that I was fine.
Even if I was really critically ill, shouldn’t you guys keep a tight lid on my illness and look for Grandpa to figure out a
way to make the company operate normally? Yet, you guys still allowed the news to continue circulating around and
let the company fall into such a mess. Panicked? Instead of finding a way to solve the problem, you guys looked for
someone to inquire whether I was really critically ill. Just like this, you guys still have the nerve to speak or fight.”
After he spoke, he paused for a while. His eyes blinked lazily. “From what I see, you simply wish for the company to
be as chaotic as possible. That way, you can take advantage and gain profit from this chaos. For someone as selfish
as you, do you think how long can you stay in position even if I give it to you?”
Eugene’s words sounded fairly rude. Although there were only positions and no father-and-son relationship in the
company, everyone clearly knew that they were a father and son. Aren’t his words the equivalent of slapping
Edward in the face?
At that moment, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed to have dropped to a freezing point. Everyone
was having butterflies in their stomach. He’s not being lenient even to his own father. At this point, we can’t even
tell who will be the next to face Eugene’s wrath.
Edward still instinctively choked when his eyes met Eugene’s icy gaze. He quibbled, “What profit can I gain? And
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhy do I wish the company to be as chaotic as possible?”
After that, Lara also added, “Eugene, you carry your words too far! Edward did this to stabilize the situation. You
can say that his approach isn’t rigorous enough, but you can’t say that he’s acquiring profit in times of trouble. You
can’t say he wishes the company to be as chaotic as possible. He is your biological father! He even told us that he
would return the position of president to you once you have recovered. Do you know how much it hurts his feelings
to think that you doubt him so much?”
In a swift, Eugene shifted his gaze to Lara. “Well, he probably didn’t think that far, but he has you, hasn’t he?”
At once, Edward was anxious again. He pointed at Eugene and scolded out loud, “Eugene! Speak properly and stop
this insulting behavior! These are all my ideas! They have nothing to do with Lara! Stop implicating her in this!”
Eugene’s aura changed drastically when her heard that. He was most annoyed whenever Edward defended Lara.
At that moment, his entire body was no longer indifferently-idle like how it was from a while ago. Resembling a
shadow that suddenly shrouded him, there were tints of inexplicable hatred in his gaze as he looked at Edward.
