Chapter 5 Confrontation
Colin was uninhibited and straightforward, so he was mean when speaking.
He had always thought there was no need to show respect to his enemies. Since they had done those shameful things, he was justified to scold them and expose their evil deeds.
Hearing his words, Hank maintain the smile on his face and hypocritically apologized, "Colin, there must be a misunderstanding. My mom and Helen didn't expect her to get so drunk then."
Colin drank up the wine that Hank had handed over in one go and grinned, "Everyone looks quite kind from a distance."
Hearing this, Hank kept silent.
Colin handed the empty wine glass to him, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered, "Are you worried that I will compete for the position of the president of Farrell Media with you? Don't worry..."
He paused for a few seconds and lowered his voice, saying, "I will compete for it with you."
Hank smiled elegantly, "Colin, you misunderstood me! If you want to be the president of Farrell Media, I won't fight with you."
Colin stood straight, stepped back with an arrogant smile, and said, "Really? I do want the position. Could you please go to tell Grandpa you want to withdraw from the competition? I'm sure he will be glad to hear that."
Hank suddenly tightened the grip on the empty wine glass and could barely maintain the gentle smile.
Colin sneered, "Hank, drop the hypocritical acting in front of me!"
After he strode upstairs, the smile on Hank's face instantly disappeared.
Helen had been watching them from a corner for a long time. Seeing Colin going upstairs, she stopped hiding and ran up to Hank, asking, "What did Colin say to you? Your face is pale with anger."
Hank loosened the tie around his neck in exasperation and replied, "He said he wanted the position of the president of Farrell Media."
Helen exclaimed in surprise, "Is he insane? He told you this directly?"
