?Chapter 414:


    Humorous


    Clearly, Neil was up to no good and hade prepared. Yet, Connor was not disturbed by this. Over the years, Neil had frequently caused trouble, aiming to topple Connor from his position and see him fall. Connor had grown ustomed to such attempts.


    “Do you want to discuss a family or business matter?” Connor asked calmly. “If it’s a family matter, please wait until I’m home after work. If it’s about business… I’m afraid you have no authority to discuss it.”


    With a smile, Connor continued, “Grandpa made it clear while he was still with us that aside from my immediate family, you and the other rtives are not allowed to interfere with any business in thepany. You just receive a monthly allowance to enjoy yourselves.”


    These words struck a nerve with Neil. His expression darkened as he clenched his teeth and said, “Connor, Grandpa has been gone for years. Stop treating his words like they’rew!”


    He then pointed at Franco, visibly upset, and said, “Even your cousin is employed at Daniels Group, but Derek, a direct descendant, isn’t allowed to work here. It’s absurd.”

    Turning back to Connor, he said, “That’s what I’m here to change. I want Derek to have a position at Daniels Group too.”


    Connor narrowed his eyes and asked, “Neil, are you suggesting we overturn Grandpa’s rule?”


    “We should uphold the good rules and discard the bad ones,” Neil said firmly. “Why should you run the family and inherit the entire Daniels Group while I lead such a modest life?


    Even my children are barred from working at Daniels Group. You were the favorite of our grandparents and parents, and you took over as the head of the family. You get to use the Daniels Group for your own goals and dreams.


    What about me? What about my sons? Don’t we have the right to have ambitions? Don’t we deserve to stand on the shoulders of our ancestors and reach for greater heights? Why must we only receive a monthly stipend and wait as if waiting for death?


    Even in the ancient royal families, after the crown prince ascended to the throne, the other princes still got opportunities to pursue their own achievements and dreams. Why must you be so harsh and deny us even a single opportunity?”


    Neil took a deep breath, his voice resonant. “I can’t ept this.”


    After venting his frustration, he continued, “If you can’tprehend my frustration and discontent, think about your future children. If you have one child, maybe it’s manageable. But if you have several, will you hand over everything in Daniels Group to just one like Grandpa did, while the others just get by?”


    As Neil grew more agitated, Connor remainedposed. He listened quietly to Neil, then responded lightly, “Your points have some merit.”


    When Neil heard Connor’s softened tone, his eyes brightened, and he asked, “So, you agree that Grandpa’s rule is unfit, right?”


    “Not exactly,” Connor said calmly. “So, what role do you envision for Derek at Daniels Group?”


    Neil was straightforward with his request, saying, “Derek studied robotics research and development at the university. He’s eager to make his mark in that area. How about we ce him in the newly formed Robotics Research and Development Department at Daniels Group?”


    Before Connor could reply, Franco couldn’t help but burst intoughter.


    Neil’s expression turned sour. “What’s so funny, Franco?”


    Franco didn’t mince words, saying, “Don’t you think it’s a bit humorous to suggest Derek work in the Robotics Research and Development Department?”
