Hearing that, Eugene sneered. Then, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Lara. "How did youknow that I was poisoned?"

At once, Lara felt her heart sink. Immediately afterward, she explained herself by saying, "I was alsodeeply concerned about you. We couldn't see you, and your dad was thinking about you. So, I askedmy assistant to inquire about your condition. I have no idea who she inquired from and let us think youwere critically ill, but it's better now that you're fine. It saves us the time and effort in worrying that thecompany 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 wascritically ill, you guys convened all the shareholders together to fight for my current position. You guyseven bothered my aging Grandpa to make a trip to the company and fight with his own brothers to thepoint 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 towardLara. "You were lying in the hospital for a few days and didn't come to the company. Do you know howmessed up the situation in the company was? Do you know how panicked the company's employeeswere? Lara and I were simply discussing how to help you stabilize the situation. So, how is that notregarded 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 takeover my position while I was critically ill? Not to mention, Doctor Maxwell had already made it clear toyou all that I was fine. Even if I was really critically ill, shouldn't you guys keep a tight lid on my illnessand look for Grandpa to figure out a way to make the company operate normally? Yet, you guys stillallowed the news to continue circulating around and let the company fall into such a mess. Panicked?

Instead of replaceing a way to solve the problem, you guys looked for someone to inquire whether I wasreally 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 blinked lazily. "From what I see, you simply wish for thecompany to be as chaotic as possible. That way, you can take advantage and gain profit from thischaos. For someone as selfish as you, do you think how long can you stay in position even if I give it toyou?"

Eugene's words sounded fairly rude. Although there were only positions and no father-and-sonrelationship in the company, everyone clearly knew that they were a father and son.

Aren't his words the equivalent of slapping 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 thispoint, 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 Igain? And why do I wish the company to be as chaotic as possible?"

After that, Lara also added, "Eugene, you carry your words too far! Edward did this to stabilize thesituation. You can say that his approach isn't rigorous enough, but you can't say that he's acquiringprofit in times of trouble. You can't say he wishes the company to be as chaotic as possible. He is yourbiological father! He even told us that he would return the position of president to you once you haverecovered. 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! Speakproperly 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 Edwarddefended Lara. At that moment, his entire body was no longer indifferently idle like how it was from awhile ago. Resembling a shadow that suddenly shrouded him, there were tints of inexplicable hatred inhis gaze as he looked at Edward.
