Chapter 616


    Hearing that, Eugene sneered. Then, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Lara. "How did you


    know that I was poisoned?"


    At once, Lara felt her heart sink. Immediately afterward, she exined herself by saying, "I was also


    deeply concerned about you. We couldn''t see you, and your dad was thinking about you. So, I asked


    my assistant to inquire about your condition. I have no idea who she inquired from and let us think you


    were critically ill, but it''s better now that you''re fine. It saves us the time and effort in worrying that the


    company has no leader and figuring out who to elect as the new president."


    Listening to Lara''s watertight statement, Eugene scoffed. "Deeply concerned about me? When I was


    critically ill, you guys convened all the shareholders together to fight for my current position. You guys


    even bothered my aging Grandpa to make a trip to thepany and fight with his own brothers to the


    point that his face turned purple with rage. And you dare to call this concern?!!!"


    At this moment, Edward frowned slightly as he was a little dissatisfied with Eugene''s attitude toward


    Lara. "You were lying in the hospital for a few days and didn''te to thepany. Do you know how


    messed up the situation in thepany was? Do you know how panicked thepany''s employees


    were? Lara and I were simply discussing how to help you stabilize the situation. So, how is that not


    regarded as our concern about you?"

    There was no ounce of expression on Eugene''s face while his pair of sharp eyes stared at Edward.


    Eugene then retorted with a cold and deep voice, "So, the solution that you guys discussed was to take


    over my position while I was critically ill? Not to mention, Doctor Maxwell had already made it clear to


    you all that I was fine. Even if I was really critically ill, shouldn''t you guys keep a tight lid on my illness


    and look for Grandpa to figure out a way to make thepany operate normally? Yet, you guys still


    allowed the news to continue circting around and let thepany fall into such a mess. Panicked?


    Instead of finding a way to solve the problem, you guys looked for someone to inquire whether I was


    really critically ill. Just like this, you guys still have the nerve to speak or fight."


    After he spoke, he paused for a while. His eyes blinkedzily. "From what I see, you simply wish for the


    company to be as chaotic as possible. That way, you can take advantage and gain profit from this


    chaos. For someone as selfish as you, do you think how long can you stay in position even if I give it to


    you?"


    Eugene''s words sounded fairly rude. Although there were only positions and no father-and-son


    rtionship in thepany, everyone clearly knew that they were a father and son.


    Aren''t his words the equivalent of pping Edward in the face?


    At that moment, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed to have dropped to a freezing point.


    Everyone was having butterflies in their stomach. He''s not being lenient even to his own father. At this


    point, we can''t even tell who will be the next to face Eugene''s wrath.


    Edward still instinctively choked when his eyes met Eugene''s icy gaze. He quibbled, "What profit can I


    gain? And why do I wish thepany to be as chaotic as possible?"


    After that, Lara also added, "Eugene, you carry your words too far! Edward did this to stabilize the


    situation. You can say that his approach isn''t rigorous enough, but you can''t say that he''s acquiring


    profit in times of trouble. You can''t say he wishes thepany to be as chaotic as possible. He is your


    biological father! He even told us that he would return the position of president to you once you have


    recovered. Do you know how much it hurts his feelings to think that you doubt him so much?"


    In a swift, Eugene shifted his gaze to Lara. "Well, he probably didn''t think that far, but he has you,


    hasn''t he?"


    At once, Edward was anxious again. He pointed at Eugene and scolded out loud, "Eugene! Speak


    properly and stop this insulting behavior! These are all my ideas! They have nothing to do with Lara!


    Stop implicating her in this!"


    Eugene''s aura changed drastically when he heard that. He was most annoyed whenever Edward


    defended Lara. At that moment, his entire body was no longer indifferently idle like how it was from a


    while ago. Resembling a shadow that suddenly shrouded him, there were tints of inexplicable hatred in


    his gaze as he looked at Edward.
