Merlin looked at Eugene. “‘Don’t lift a finger. Just leave them all to the police to deal with!” Eugene sneered. “Then, they’ll only be sentenced for a few years!” Then, Merlin emphatically reminded, “He’s your dad. You always have to leave a way out for him.”
“As his son, it’s my filial piety to let him die in clarity. What’s more, doesn’t he want to stick with Lara regardless of what happens? I’m merely helping him with this.” “Your father doesn’t have to die, though!”
Eugene retorted, “Don’t you see? Even at this point, he didn’t think he had done anything wrong. You have asked me to leave a way for him to live, so how are we as the ones who
were hurt by them supposed to feel?” Merlin answered, “He was just a stubborn guy who fought to the end for what he believed, but he understands what he did now!”
Eugene sneered again. “He just feels that he has been deceived, and he only cares and feels bad about himself!” The grandfather and grandson were chatting so casually, as if the people present around them) were invisible and could not hear them!
In fact, Eugene had already asked Edward this sentence several times today: Is there anything else you want to say? It was at least three or four times that Eugene did so. He was clearly set on letting Edward die!
Merlin thought for a while and tempted Eugene, “Fine. If you promise to hand them over to the police station, I will send you the gift in advance.” Eugene frowned and looked at the mysterious old man. “What?”
Merlin smiled before he looked at the shareholders and said slowly, “After this time, I’ve also figured out some things. It’s better to be open and upright than to keep things a secret. Today, we will take this opportunity to discuss it. I know what you are thinking, and I know that you think I am biased in private, but what I want you to consider is the development of the entire Nolan Group. You are fighting back. and forth, but can you guarantee that the Nolan Group will do better in your hands than Eugene’s?”
Amos was embarrassed by what he said and whispered, ‘I naturally have no opinion about Eugene, but it may not be the same for the others. Anyway, I don’t agree with anyone except Eugene.”
As he spoke, he also glanced meaningfully at Edward. Edward couldn’t care about what they were saying at the moment and he sat on the chair feeling a little lost.
When everyone heard the words, they also followed suit. “Yes, yes. Over these few years, the annual income of the Nolan Group has been rising.” “Yes. President Nolan has always been capable, and we are all convinced!”
Merlin went on to say, “The Nolan Group’s a century-old enterprise and you will have the chance if you have the ability. Besides, ther income will be doubled year by year. I don’t need to tell you all what you already know in your heart. Don’t think I am biased, but I know who is most suitable for this position.
I can’t watch the country built by generations of the Nolan Family get ruined like this. You only know how to fight for the company, but do you know how to manage it? Do you think that the presidential seat is so easy to sit in? Eugene takes on more than you think. You can sleep peacefully after work, receive monthly wages, and receive dividends at the end of the year, but he can’t.
As a company leader, he has to deal with the working opportunities of tens of thousands of employees in the company. To make a living, he must look ahead to the development of the company and ensure that shareholders’ wallets are full. Who among you can share his burden?
Even when he is seriously ill, you are not thinking about working with a peace of mind and maintaining the company’s reputation, but whether your wallet will shrink or not, or whether you should fight to be the next president? It seems that when you become the president, you can do everything in the world! Can’t you all see the pressure he’s under, though?”
His voice was not very loud, but no one made a sound. Some bowed their heads whereas some nodded frequently. “Everyone knows that I have 25% of the shares in my hand, and there may be many people who have been thinking about getting their hands on it, but let me tell you this: don’t you even think about it. I have already made the necessary arrangements for these shares.”
