Chapter 550
"Big bro, aren't you too naive?" Hollis raised her gaze, her expression calm. "The business world is full of deceit. Without a bit of cunning, the Lumi Group would have been crushed long ago."
Cauth coldly pursed his lips. "I haven't spoken to you in ten years. This is the first time. Cancle the project."
“Why?” Hollis stood up, her eyes narrowed. "Big bro, you're acting strange. I've used these tactics against competitors before, and you've turned a blind eye. Why are you accusing me today? Oh, I see, because of Haley, right?"
Ava, biting her lip, said plaintively, "Uncle, you let it go when Haley insulted me twice. How can you let Haley's actions affect our business at the Lumi Group?"
Cauth maintained a stern expression. "Hollis, will you withdraw from this project?"
"No." Hollis smirked. "I've used quite a few means to get Mr. Miller to agree to help me. How could I give up halfway? And the next phase of this project is for Ava to handle. If she does well, the old man will be pleased and make Ava the next heir of the Lumi Group. This project is crucial for me, Ava, and the Lumi family. It can't change just because of my brother's selfish desires. So, I can only say sorry, my brother."
Cauth's face turned gloomy in that moment.
"Big bro, are you defending Haley so much?" Hollis raised an eyebrow. "Are you smitten with the first beauty of Watertown?"
Ava pouted. "Haley is so beautiful. It's not surprising if Uncle is attracted to her. But this woman is about to get married. Why is she still out there seducing men?"
"Shut up!" Cauth picked up a teacup from the table and threw it on the ground.
He was usually gentle and rarely lost his temper. He had never spoken harshly to his only niece in over twenty years. This time, he started smashing things, frightening Ava.
"Big bro, you've gone mad." Hollis said coldly. "Company matters are none of your business, and I won't say a word about your personal life."
After speaking, she grabbed Ava and left.
Cauth's chest heaved with anger. Unable to contain himself, he smashed another cup on the ground.
Because he had voluntarily given up the position of the Lumi Group's president, he now couldn't even protect his own daughter.
He regretted it, truly.
He wasn't lacking in business acumen, but he simply wasn't interested in running a company, so he handed over the presidency to his sister.
Cauth slumped in his chair, holding his head.
"Dad, what's going on? Why did you argue with Aunt?"
A young man in his twenties walked over, standing in front of Cauth. His features bore a striking resemblance to Cauth, with a clear and refined appearance.
"Nothing happened." Cauth pressed his temple. "Why are you home today?"
Bark pursed his lips. "I just heard Aunt won't let you interfere in company matters?"
Cauth remained silent.
"Dad, the company should have been yours."Bark clenched his fist. "Because you gave up the position of the Lumi Group's president ten years ago, you've faced so much unfair treatment over the years. And I've been ridiculed for having an incapable father! Now you want to return to the company, but there's no chance anymore!"
Cauth slowly spoke, "Indeed, I have no chance, but son, you're still young..."
