Chapter 268
“Dad, I was wrong. I just kept thinking about his Stark family lineage.”
Robert’s face flushed with anger, and he yelled, “Your moment of kindness caused a massive disaster! Look what he’s done! Killing people without a second thought! He’s taken three lives!”
Lennon stood quietly, not saying anything.
Royce lowered his head without daring to retort.“You’re right.” He bowed his head even more, absorbing Robert’s harsh words.
Robert was extremely angry, unleashing his fury in front of the computer screen.
He held a prominent position in Washington and required permission to leave, so he couldn’t return right away and could only call Royce to give him directives.
After unleashing his anger for a while, Robert calmed down..
He spoke in a low voice, “I need to talk to Lennon.”
“Yes.” Royce turned the laptop towards Lennon standing beside him.
“Grandfather,” Lennon called out respectfully.
Robert glanced at Lennon, his expression serious as he asked, “What do you plan to do next?”
Lennon said, “Nikolas got a big project. I’ll make things tough for him. He’s put in a lot of time and effort. If it fails, it’ll hurt him badly.” “Hmm,” Robert grunted.“Teach him a lesson. Show him the Stark family isn’t a place for his tricks.” “However,” Robert’s face got serious, “he acts like a madman. Be fully ready when you face him.” Lennon looked down, voice flat.“I know. I wasn’t ready before, so he won.”
Robert gave a small nod.“Good to hear. You’re way more dependable than your dad.”
He glanced at Royce, who stood head down, looking sullen.
Royce didn’t dare say anything more.
After a moment.
Robert turned to Lennon and said, “Lennon, you’re not a kid anymore. It’s time you took the reins of the Stark family. Your abilities were restricted before, which made handling things pretty tough. But now, by handing over the family’s power and business to you, it’ll be easier to manage Nikolas. He’s been thriving overseas, and his influence is significant. Don’t underestimate him.”
Lennon replied calmly, “Yes, Grandfather. I know what to do.”
Robert nodded. “That’s good, I’m always confident in your abilities. However, you were really reckless protecting Mariela from that knife last time.”
