Chapter 613
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 thepany 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 ncing at each other or lowering their heads in deep contemtion as none of
them dared to disrespect Merlin. After all, he held twenty-five percent of the shares in Nn Group,
and this was enough to control the entire group!
Taking the initiative to stand up, Lara then ced a ss 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 ept this reality, but the shareholders seated here
are all thinking for the sake of thepany''s development. While we are able to do our jobs, the
direction of thepany''s future development in addition to the stock market which is falling frequently
needs someone from the family to stabilize the situation in the Nn 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 nonchnt 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!"

An astonished Lara gawked at Merlin with an aggrieved expression.
Meanwhile, Edward furrowed his brows tightly and pulled her into his arms instinctively. "Dad, what are
you saying? What about me?"
"Shut your mouth!" Merlin scowled.
"Dad, I know you have opinions against me because Edward married me back then, and you keep
thinking that I destroyed him. However, what you think is right may not be the right thing and what you
think is good may not necessarily be good either. All these years, Edward and I have been loving to
each other and I''ve served you attentively. I think I''ve done everything a daughter-inw should do, but
you shouldn''t keep picking on me!"
Despite her humble choice of words, her tone was rather aggressive!
While maintaining his gaze at her with eyes as sharp as des, he spat, "That''s because Edward has
no idea of your true colors!"
Knitting her brows tightly, Lara somehow had a hunch that some things were slipping out of her control
and she stared at Merlin''sposed face with confusion. Then, she watched as he whispered
something to Curtis next to him, after which Curtis stood up to open the door of the conference room.
Everyone else was equally baffled, thinking that the things Merlin had just said was very profound, and
they all turned to look in the direction of the door.
The door of the conference room was pulled open by Curtis, and the person appearing at the door was
the same person whose life and death they were discussing earlier—Eugene!
Dressed in a dark-colored suit which was ironed so smoothly that it clung tightly to his sturdy figure, he
showed no emotion on his stunning face as his entire being was encapsted in ayer of cold air.
When his icy eyes slowly scanned across the room, the noisy conference room suddenly became so
silent that a pin drop could be heard.
