CHAPTER 401
"Dad, I know I've been too self-centered, thinking you meddle too much in my life. I wanted to break away from the company, but deep down, I hesitated and couldn't take that final step. Lucas has been pushing me to make a decision, and that's why..."He didn't want to bear this responsibility alone. Since he couldn't meet Lucas anyway, he decided to just push it aside.The moment he saw his dad's cold smirk, he realized he could no longer hide the truth. If he continued to do so, his fate would be worse than his older brother's."Fine, since Lucas is pressuring you like this, then you should choose Thomas," his dad said. Clinton quickly picked up on the implication in his father's words. He didn't use the plural "you all," but rather singled him out, insisting that he choose Thomas.Choosing Thomas was definitely not an option right now.The talks with Miss Hutton had already fallen through, and there was no way they could negotiate with him. Besides, Lucas wouldn't back down easily;
CHAPTER 400
Clinton glanced at his father, knowing that this cup of tea was essential. At the moment, everything seemed calm enough; it was a good time to talk. Old Mr. Blackwood continued to fiddle with his teacup, showing no signs of direct opposition."Dad, I know you're giving me a chance today... I have something I want to say directly. You've probably heard some rumors." Certain things couldn't be initiated by his father; it was better for him to speak up first, leaving some room for negotiation. He knew his father's temper all too well. Old Mr. Blackwood looked at his son, wondering if this attitude was meant to convey remorse. It seemed more like a temporary compromise, not a genuine admission of truth, but rather an attempt to find a loophole.He found this behavior extremely frustrating, only regretting mistakes after they were made, and doing so with a sense of luck. Old Mr. Blackwood remained composed, looking at him."Oh really? No rush. Let's finish this cup of tea and take our time
CHAPTER 399
"Dad, you're not old at all! I'm still so young, I definitely want to grow up under your protection." She was really worried that Old Mr. Blackwood would start assigning company tasks right away. Being her age was a disadvantage, and she feared that most responsibilities would fall on her two older brothers. She didn't want to be under their care, especially not the kind of care they offered."Stop with the sweet talk and sit tight. I'm discussing something serious here." Old Mr. Blackwood's tone remained gentle, but Allison knew his temperament all too well. She quickly created some distance and sat up straight. When he spoke like this, she didn't dare to keep joking around."Recently, the headquarters has been holding a shareholders' meeting. What do you all think about it? I want to hear your thoughts, one by one."Hearing him say this brought back memories of the past. He often liked to pose questions to each of his children, encouraging them to share their opinions, and those who
CHAPTER 398
Lucas stood up abruptly."So this is the attitude you bring when asking for cooperation today? If that's the case, I don't see any reason to continue this discussion."Clinton quickly followed her, forcing a smile as he walked alongside her."Auntie Clair, that's not what I meant at all. I just wanted you to know that we're in this together, and we can't afford to play both sides."He blocked Lucas's path, but instead of leaving, he shot her a cold smile. He had underestimated her. He initially thought she was just a stubborn mule, oblivious to family arrangements and overly ambitious. But now, it was clear she had some insight and was pushing him to make a choice. However, he couldn't give up on her just yet.Where did he get the idea that she was still wavering between him and her father?"I believe my cooperation with you over the past few days has shown no signs of doubt. Why do you think I would make a different choice between you and your father?"After saying this, he knew Luc
CHAPTER 397
"This matter doesn't require too much tension until David and I reach a specific conclusion." Sometimes, stirring the pot requires a careful approach."Should we keep everything on hold? Do we need to pay attention to the other shareholders and board members?"A shareholder meeting isn't a one-man show; it involves considering others."No need. I'm targeting what Lucas cares about, and he's the boss. It's best to take down the leader first." Thomas didn't have the energy to manage so many shareholders and board members. It would require a lot of manpower, and he clearly couldn't trust too many people."The conditions we need to discuss with David won't be simple, but as long as we have this lead, that's enough."Lawrence nodded. Thomas had already spent enough time on company matters recently. It was unclear when the shift hadhappened, but the company was gradually coming under his control."Right now, the company is in a tense situation. You might not be able to take breaks on time,
CHAPTER 396
"Why is that?""Because your son is pretending to cooperate with me, while the real partnership is with Lucas. You should know how our boss feels about Lucas." At this point, David felt a surge of anger rising within him. He had been wondering why that kid would resort to such a foolish method. It turned out to be a double trap, like a mantis catching a cicada while the yellow sparrow waits behind. He had underestimatedthem, not realizing they had thoroughly figured out his bottom line."So, Miss Hutton is suggesting that I handle my son myself, which would benefit the headquarters and Mr. Thomas?"The use of the word "benefit" clearly indicated his dissatisfaction."Chairman David, why don't you understand my point? Think about it, if you align yourself with the headquarters, the real estate will be securely under your name, and the company will continue to grant you some authority. There won't be any major issues."The idea of "granting authority" was entirely the secretary's own s
