“Tell him the truth.”
Satisfied with his answer, Lucinda reached for the knob and opened the door wide. She looked straight at Enoch, who was huffing as he sat on the sofa.
“Hello, Mr. Roberts. It’s been a while since we last saw each other, but your foul temper is still the same. It’s no wonder that Logan is reluctant to hand the Roberts Group over to you. His misgivings are well-founded.”
Her words definitely hit a nerve, and Enoch froze and seethed.
He had always resented the fact that his father never recognized his abilities, and to have it laid down in the open by Lucinda, of all people… He was livid.

But then… Enoch had coveted the position of CEO for so long. He couldn’t just watch Lucinda, who wasn’t even a Roberts, take it away.
