He mulled over his options for one long moment before looking up at Nathaniel.
“What are you doing, just standing there? Take a seat. You’re the second-largest shareholder, after all.”
Hearing this, Lucinda turned to look at Nathaniel as well.
He pursed his lips, but said nothing and merely lowered his head. He stayed in place.
Pleased with his subservience, Lucinda turned back to Enoch and flashed him a grin.
“He is my manservant now, you see. He is not worthy of sitting with us, especially when we discuss important business matters such as this.”
Enoch gaped at her in disbelief, his eyes darting frantically between Lucinda and Nathaniel.
When it finally clicked in his mind, he burst out in renewed fury.
“You mindless fool! Did you sell yourself out to her? Why are you being so obedient to this good-for-nothing wench? You are a disgrace to the Roberts family name!”
Enoch was a traditional man, and he was adamant about his bigoted beliefs.
At first, he had been bitter about Nathaniel’s undeniable potential.
However, even he could not deny Nathaniel’s accomplishments. The young man had taken the Roberts Group to new heights since he had taken office, and soon, Enoch became content with just raking a substantial amount of dividends each year.

Outraged, Enoch shot to his feet and lunged at Nathaniel, landing a sound slap on the young man’s face.
“You ungrateful brat! If your father and grandfather didn’t teach you what you should and shouldn’t do, then I shall do it on their behalf!”
Nathaniel had anticipated this much, but he didn’t dodge the blow.
Unfortunately, he was too weak to withstand that single hit, and before he knew it, he lost his balance and tumbled to the floor.
He let out a muffled groan. His left cheek was rapidly swelling up, and a smidge of blood was peeking in the corner of his mouth.

Lucinda hurried over and helped him up.
Meanwhile, Enoch was already raising his hand again to deal Nathaniel another blow.
But Lucinda acted quickly, grabbing the man’s wrist and pushing him back.
“Let me remind you that this is not the Roberts residence. If you want to teach your nephew a Lesson, then do so in your own turf.
You can drag him back to your ancestral hall for all I care, but don’t you dare act up in my domain.”
A bodyguard soon appeared and forced Enoch back to the sofa.
