Therefore, Eugene didn’t want to pretend to be a happy family. After the incident years ago, both Eugene and Edward knew that their relationship was strained. “What’s the hurry? Do you have business with me? Eugene asked.
Soon, the secretary nodded politely and stepped out. She closed the door as she left the room. After that, Edward glanced at North, then at Eugene. After forcefully suppressing his anger, Edward asked, “Why are you deliberately targeting the Roberts Company?”
In response, Eugene lazily said, “It’s just some business competition. I have nothing else to say about the matter.”
Then, Edward walked to the desk. ‘Business competition? Compete for what, the pharmaceutical project? Nolan Group has never signed a contract with any pharmaceutical industry before.”
Under the accusation, Eugene said calmly, “It will be a new experience for us. After all, my girlfriend is a doctor. It makes sense that I would want to be involved in the pharmaceutical industry. On the other hand, why are you so anxious? You are also a member of the Nolan Family. Shouldn’t the development of the Nolan Group make you happy?”
Then, Edward growled, “The marriage between the Nolan and Roberts families is a matter of mutual benefit. Ever since you became the president, you’ve gradually cut ties with the Roberts Company. Now, you are even treating the Roberts Family as your rival. If you want revenge, just charge at me. Do not vent your anger on the company!”
Upon hearing that, Eugene sneered. “Are you talking to me as a shareholder or my father? Do not confuse business affairs with private affairs!” Shaking his head, Edward snorted. “Is there any difference?”
Eugene looked at him with cold eyes. “If you’re talking to me as a shareholder of the Nolan Group, then you should be supporting my decision to make this the company’s long-term plan. Even if you object to the plan, I can only treat it as a suggestion. You do not hold the power to dismiss it. However, if you are talking to me now as my father, I can tell you: this is just the beginning of my revenge!”
“Eugene!” Edward angrily slapped the table. “What are you thinking? You think you’re all grown up now, and that’s why you are starting to fight back, is that it?”
Eugene still had a frosty look in his eyes. The smile on his face looked playful. “In fact, I have you to thank for not kicking me out back then!”
With anger, Edward stared at Eugene with eyes that lacked warmth. “While I don’t like your mother, you are still my son. Never once have I ever thought of hurting you, so please don’t make me do it. You’re not like that shameless Brian-now that guy I have never thought of as my son!”
After years of abuse, Eugene thought he had long grown numb to his father’s verbal insults. Still, hearing how Edward was able to spit out these words without any hesitation, he could feel his heart aching. If Brian heard that, he would be so upset.
“You’ve never thought of hurting me? Or was it because I was under the protection of Grandpa that you couldn’t do it?!” “Of course not! There was nothing to stop me back then.”
Chortling, Eugene shook his head. “I don’t understand. Since you loved Lara that much, why did you still marry my mother? Why did you give birth to Brian and me? You’ve never taken up the responsibility as a father to raise us.”
Edward snorted. “Your mother was stubborn and never wanted to divorce. She was the one who plotted against me. She single-handedly sowed discord between us! Otherwise, Brian would never have been born. If anything, you should be blaming your mother instead!”
Upon hearing this, Eugene could feel a surge of rage rising from within. With hatred in his eyes, he slowly stood up from the seat. “You are not innocent either. You did everything to lure my mother to commit adultery to divorce my mother.
When you forced her to divorce, you also brought her reputation into disrepute. Do you really hate her that much? She just didn’t want to divorce. Was it wrong to love you? Did you have to use those dirty tricks on the woman who gave birth to two sons for you? Are you a monster?”
