Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 242

She gives a long sign again and pets her daughter gently, "He said these is only to make Esme happy, Uncle Troy he... is not the one who can live with us."

"Why?"

"Only family members can live together forever, Uncle Troy he is just a friend."

"Friends can also be together forever, right... "

Karin is speechless, the complex feelings between adults which is in no way to explain to a child, naturally there is no way to explain to her with too much details.

"Well, go to sleep, after tonight, do not think about Uncle Troy again."

Despite the depression and unhappiness in her heart, in order not to let her mother worry about her, Esme nods her head obediently and gradually falls into sleep.

Seeing that her daughter is already asleep, Karin leans over and kisses her forehead, saying softly, "Esme, in this world, only mommy will watch over you for the rest of your life."

Zurich --

The atmosphere in the huge conference room of the Charlie Group is unprecedentedly serious and solemn, with more than two dozens shareholders expressing their desire to replace the chairman, and the mastermind behind this scheme is Troy's eldest uncle Lennon.

Lennon stands up, says with an angry face, "As the eldest of the family, I should not have been involved in the family business, but seeing that my father's foundation is about to be destroyed in the hands of this boy, I can no longer sit idly by and do nothing, my father clearly stipulated that the Charles Family is never allowed to develop our business in the L Country, and now his grandson is openly defy his rules, ignoring the family's last words. Since this is the case, I can only place righteousness above family loyalty!"

Place righteousness above family loyalty...

Troy is sitting on the chairman’s seat, and slightly raises his sexy lip and mockingly says to his uncle, "Lennon, now that you start the fight openly, I will talk to you straightforward, the first thing you can do is to take a look at the situation. The entire Charles Family and other families that are doing business with us, all of them know that you are aggressively eyeing up on the chairman’s position. After waiting for so many years to find an opportunity to pull me down, now you seizes the opportunity that I've developed our business in Edinburgh, you think I break our family rules? I am the grandson of the Charles Family, how could I not know the rules of my grandfather, but rules are fixed, people are flexible. Why did Grandpa set these rules, I think all the uncles here know it well, our Charles Family has a black sheep, who invested in L Country behind my grandfather's back to build a factory, and then lost a lot of money in it. In the end, my grandpa had to clean up the mess for him. And my grandpa, in order to avoid the same mistake happened again, he had no choice but to set up such a rule. To be honest, this rule is set for those who has an evil thought in Charles Family, my father is my grandfather’s only designated heir, and I have my father’s and grandfather’s shares, which means what? It means that I have the right to develop the Charles Family's business all over the world, including Britain, and the fact that I have this right means that I have the ability to do this! A person who could only let others clean up the mess for him, what qualification does he have to be a righteous person here?"

Lennon feels a deep sense of shame and anger, because he is the one who went to L Country to invest and build up a factory, but failed, and owed a load of debts in the end. It was because of this bad investment that he lost the opportunity as the eldest son to inherit the family business. And because of this, he has been holding the grudge for many years, thinking he is not incapable, just because he has a bad luck.

What makes Lennon unexpected and unacceptable is that his nephew has embarrassed him in front of all the shareholders, he slaps his hand on the conference table angrily, "Bastard! You still have the face to accuse of me? Think about what you have done!"

He pauses, "What the Charles Family needs is not only a capable chairman, but also a leader who is decent and maintains a good reputation, but how about you? A few years ago, your private life is messy, for a woman you can leave everything behind, just like now you want to establish our reputation in Britain, just because there is a woman in Edinburgh. You clearly know that the shareholders do not agree on this matter, but you still insist on this matter, you are so arrogant and never cares about what other shareholders are thinking, then why should we support you!"

Lennon is fully prepared for this meeting, his few words starts up an uproar among the shareholders, most of them start to condemn Troy, seeing the situation is getting better, Troy's fourth uncle stands up, "Troy, although you are our nephew, we should not be so intense to each other, but you really don’t do it right, I hears that the new company you want to start in Edinburgh this time costs us a lot of money. Are you really planning for the long term development for the Charles Family? If that woman is not in Edinburgh will you still make this decision?"
