"As a member of the Nolan Family, Eugene's father as well as a senior employee of the company, Ithink there's no one more suitable than myself. I've already spoken to the chairman, and he isn'tagainst this idea. Now, we would just like to listen to what the shareholders have to say."

As the shareholders were already bribed by Edward, they would speak up for him as expected. One ofthem took the lead and said, "Master Nolan, your leadership is clear for all to see. I have no opinionsabout it."

After he said that, someone else immediately chirped along, "I don't have any opinions, too."

"As President Nolan's father, no one else is more suited for the post than you, Master Nolan!"

All of a sudden, almost half of the shareholders in the conference room had voiced their opinion, exceptfor Amos, who was seated across from him.

Amos snorted before he said, "You do seem a little anxious to take over your son's position as thepresident of the company while he's still hospitalized, don't you?"

Edward's face fell. Previously, Amos was the only one who didn't want to join their side, but it wasn'tbecause he was siding with Eugene; it was because he wanted this position as well.

"I'm not trying to take up the president position, and anyone who is capable can take up the post. It's allfor the sake of the company's development. Furthermore, we can't be leaving such a huge corporationwithout a leader, can we? I just think that I'm more suitable, but if you think there's someone else morecapable, you can recommend them, Amos!"

"How are you suitable for this position?" Amos sneered. "It's true that you're Eugene's father, but areyou that close with him? Everyone knows what happened back then. I'm also a shareholder of thecompany and a member of the Nolan Family. When it comes to ability, I'm just as capable as you, if notbetter."

Knitting his brows tightly together, Edward said, "Isn't this the reason we're having a meeting this time?So many shareholders are here, and even our father is here. You don't have to think that you're betterthan me, and neither do I have to justify why I'm more suitable. Everyone present can see it forthemselves, so let Dad and the shareholders decide on this matter!"

"Do you think I don't know you?" Amos snapped. "All these years, you've been active, and almost allthe shareholders here have been bought over by you."

Slamming the table, Edward sprang up from his seat. "Amos, that's too much. When have I beenactive?"

"That's enough, you don't have to put up an act. Even if you're not active, what about your wife? Shepersonally went to my house, but was chased away by me because I don't want to be in cahoots withyou!"

"Amos Nolan!" A furious Edward shouted, "Aren't you active as well? The people seated here are eitheron your side or mine. We're just the pots calling the kettle black, but do you have to spell it out?"

Amos snorted. "Don't throw accusations at me. I didn't do anything like that. Did I visit your house?"

After she patted Edward with assurance, Lara then stood up slowly. With a smile, she said, "What's tohide about this? Is it worth it that you're so angry over it? It's true that we visited the shareholders, butonly because we would like to hear their opinions so that we can have their support and conform to thepeople's views. We didn't force our ideas on anyone at all, just like when I visited your place. It's great if

you'd support us, but did we say anything when you didn't? However, I can't leave you out of thisbecause what if you pick on my fairness? I just didn't think that you would put it so harshly about whywe visited the shareholders. Should we live with our doors closed then? Going by your way, can thecompany continue to grow?"

Chuckling sarcastically, Amos responded, "I must hand it to you, Lara. No wonder you're able to keep atight watch over Edward all these years. That's because of that glib tongue of yours! So, it's just aregular visit even if you promise them some things and give them some assurance?"

Lara giggled. "Even during the election period, the candidates are given the chance to speak. In orderto receive support, of course you have to do what you promised to. Not only did I make promises, I'lleven go through with them. In contrast, do you only speak and not mean it?"
