Eugene’s voice was flat, and his facial expression looked like he was engaging in a small talk. However, no one thought he was actually chit-chatting with them.
Wasn’t he just calculating what we have done? Everyone lowered their heads, wishing they could hide like quails. As of this moment, they all secretly regretted their decisions. Why did we believe Edward and Amos’ words? They said Eugene is dying soon. If so, who’s that sitting here?
“Why aren’t you all saying something? Didn’t you all rave just now?” Eugene spoke again. Even after his voice fell, no one made a sound. The entire conference room was silent.
We know what we’re doing. We’re trying to turn Eugene into a mere figurehead, but who dares to say this out? One is Eugene’s father while the other is his uncle. They’re closely-knit kinsmen. Regardless, they’re still a family until the end of life. What’s the point of us shareholders getting involved in this matter?
Seeing that no one still dared to utter a word, Eugene shifted his gaze to Amos. “Amos, speak!” Amos’ heart jolted instantly as he looked at Eugene in astonishment. Why does he demand me to speak? It wasn’t me who egged on this matter!
However, he did not dare to have any complaints when his eyes met Eugene’s sharp gazes. This nephew of mine is not mediocre. One can imagine how terrifying he is, considering he can stay alive until today and survive from Edward and Lara’s torments since his teens.
Amos stuttered, ‘T-This… I-It’s your Dad. H-He thought you were critically ill, so he wanted to elect a new president. We even visited you last time, but we couldn’t see you in person. Didn’t I ask Master Merlin about your condition earlier? I told them we should wait for your return. The company will only be able to thrive well in your hands.”
After Amos’ voice fell, Edward glanced at him with contempt. “Amos, are you not ashamed at all to say this?”
