âWhat?â Lucinda exclaimed in disbelief.
âAre you out of your mind?â she cast a sidelong glance at him.
âYouâre just his uncle, and his mother is his direct family.
She should be the heiress of his shares, not you,â she stated firmly.
âButâ¦â Enoch tried to argue.
Enoch remained composed despite being mocked.
He explained, âAmanda isnât capable of managing the company.
Look at what she did to it before.
Sheâll ruin the company if you give her the shares.
Besides, she treated you poorly in the past.
Are you willing to trust her with the shares? I, on the other hand, can be of great assistance to you, and I deeply regret everything Iâve done to you.
I promise I wonât oppose you in the future.
â
A sneer formed on Lucindaâs face as she accused him, âAre you trying to deceive me with your sweet talk? If you get the shares, youâll become the largest shareholder of the company.
Your ultimate goal is to become the president of Roberts Group, isnât it?â
Enoch hesitated, not wanting to give away his true intentions.
After a moment of silence, he finally responded, âWellâ¦â
Enoch realized that it wasnât wise to confront Lucinda directly, so he devised a more indirect strategy.
âI donât want to hear your excuses.
Beating around the bush makes me sick.
Whether you can take over the company actually does not depend on you,â she said, cutting him off.
He remained silent for a moment with a grim expression.
Realizing her shrewdness, he understood that now that she was aware of his plan, she would be even more cautious in her dealings with him in the future.
âHow about this? Since you suggested Amanda should receive my nephewâs shares, why not have her come here today to sign the share transfer agreement in the presence of a lawyer?â he proposed.
He didnât care if Amanda received the shares.
He was confident he could steal them from her sooner or later.
As long as Lucinda didnât acquire them, everything would eventually work out for him.
Lucinda sneered at him.

Just as she was about to respond, the office door swung open.
Amanda entered the office with her usual elegance and composure, appearing less despondent than she had been a few days prior.
Enochâs face lit up upon seeing her.
âAh, we were just about to request you to come and sign the transfer agreement!â he exclaimed.
Lucinda leaned against the chair, crossing her arms over her chest, and said nothing.
She was curious to see what the two of them were planning to do.
As Amanda approached, he stood up from his seat and offered it to her.
Without any show of modesty, Amanda elegantly seated herself and told Enoch, âItâs not within our authority to decide how to allocate my sonâs shares.
â
âWhat do you mean?â he asked, taken aback.
His expression was one of shock.
