As he spoke, he turned to Amos. “And you, too! As his elder brother, you even have the cheek to call him out when you’re just the same as him! The president of the company is merely hospitalized and the doctor didn’t announce anything yet, but the both of you are already: fishing in troubled waters. Who has my support, you ask?
None of you! The likes of you are not fit to take this position! The people seated here are either Eugene’s uncles or cousins, all of whom are the closest to him. How could you bring yourselves to scheme and fight for his position as the president when his life and death is still uncertain?”
Although Merlin was in his twilight years, every word he said had an influential impact! Everyone was either glancing at each other or lowering their heads in deep contemplation as none of them dared to disrespect Merlin. After all, he held twenty-five percent of the shares in Nolan Group, and this was enough to control the entire group!
Taking the initiative to stand up, Lara then placed a glass of water in front of Merlin and said gently, “Don’t be mad, Dad. Both you and Edward have seen Eugene, and we all know clearly about his situation in our hearts. I know you’re unwilling to accept this reality, but the shareholders seated here are all thinking for the sake of the company’s development.
While we are able to do our jobs, the direction of the company’s future development in addition to the stock market which is falling frequently needs someone from the family to stabilize the situation in the Nolan Group. After all, this concerns everyone’s pockets, and yet, Eugene is lying in the hospital. Just as you said, we’re his closest kin, so of course we’re upset as well, but we have to continue living our lives, don’t we?”
After she finished speaking, she received a lot of agreement as the shareholders nodded. Looking at her, Merlin no longer had a nonchalant look as before. Today, his eyes seemed inexplicably fierce, and his voice was also cold. “If it was not for you, Edward wouldn’t have turned out like this today!”
