Luke was standing behind Harold. When he heard Kimberly’s words, his lips curled into a smile and he said, “Mrs. White, you don’t have to say these nonsense words, do you?” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Kimberly’s entire body stiffened.
“I told you to discipline your son, but you didn’t listen to me!” Bonnie shouted, “His elder brother was dead, but he held a gathering. Is that appropriate?”
Kimberly said sullenly, “It was inappropriate… I’ve already taught him a lesson…”
“You didn’t actually take action, did you?!” Bonnie made up her mind and said, “I’ll make the decision this time. Ask him to go to the ancestral hall to learn the family rules. 50 lashes, no less!”
Kimberly’s eyes widened instantly. “Mom! You’re going to kill Cyril!”
Bonnie stared at her coldly. “If I don’t teach him a good lesson, he won’t remember!”
The people around Bonnie hurried over to support Kimberly and whispered into her ear, “Mrs. White, Old Madam is doing this for Mr. Cyril’s good. She only punished him with fifty lashes. If Mr. Harold were to make a move… Mr. Cyril would die!”
Kimberly gritted her teeth and said, “…Yes… I know. I will ask Cyril to go to the ancestral hall early tomorrow morning…”
“What are you waiting for?” Bonnie glared at Kimberly with hatred and said, “Take him to the ancestral hall now!”
Kimberly wanted to persuade her, but in the end, she made up her mind and did not say anything. “Harold,” Bonnie spoke to Harold in a friendly tone. “I have already punished Cyril. Have you cooled down?”
Bonnie might not have any feelings for Harold, but she clearly knew that all of her glory in Fairby came from Harold.
“You must be joking, old lady.” Harold said lightly, “Why should I be angry? It’s not the first day that I know Cyril is a good-for-nothing.”
Kimberly gritted her teeth. “Harold, you…”
Bonnie said, “Cyril has been spoiled by the family, but your Second Uncle… has always been helping you in the company. But you asked your Second Uncle to resign as soon as you return…”
After such a long time, they finally got to the point.
The White family had always maintained a delicate balance.
Harold didn’t respect Bonnie, but he respected her dignity. Because of her, he was very tolerant of
the second branch. Bonnie knew this, but she also knew that all tolerance was limited. If it weren’t for Mark making a fuss, she wouldn’t have bothered about it.
“Luke.” Harold picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, “Let the old lady see how Mark has helped me these years.”
Luke responded. He placed a folder in front of Bonnie and said, “Old Madam, please have a look.” Bonnie didn’t manage the company before, but she understood what was written on it. She couldn’t say anything at all.
Luke said, “This is only the tip of the iceberg. If you’re interested in the rest, I’ll get someone to send it to you when everything is sorted out.”
…” Bonnie said, “There’s no need.”
She looked at Harold and said, “Harold, I know that your Second Uncle doesn’t have much talent, but if you directly ask him to resign, how can he face others in the future? How about this, you can arrange a job for him in the company. It’s fine as long as he has a good position. He doesn’t need to have real power…”
Hearing this, Kimberly couldn’t help but ask, “How can he not have the power?!”
