Chapter 579 Too Overindulgent "I have no objections. I support Ms. Thorne's decision." 875 +5 Pearls Rowan's face turned green. "Herbert, what do you mean by that? Are you a fence-sitter, switching sides so quickly?" "Mr. Cobb, Josiah called out.

Rowan turned around, speaking in a respectful tone. "Mr. Guerra, did you needfor something?" "Not really. It's your turn to speak next, isn't it?" "Correct." "Do you mind if I grab something to eat?" "Huh?" "I'll take care of the leftovers from Lysander. You can proceed with your speech without interruption." Rowan was stunned.

With only one pair of cutlery available, Josiah quickly cleared away the remaining dishes using the ones Lysander had used just moments before.

"Mr. Cobb, why haven't you start yet?" Josiah asked, "There are dozens of people here. If one person delays for ten minutes, then for dozens of people, it's hours wasted. Everyone's tis precious." Rowan was utterly bewildered.

He watched as Josiah ate the leftovers that Lysander had left behind.

"Mr. Guerra, you're indeed quite considerate." Rowan's smile seemed forced. “She's just a family friend, not a real sibling. You should still be mindful of hygiene." "What did you say?” Josiah asked.

"I said personal hygiene should be observed. We use serving spoons outside..." "My hearing isn't the best. What did you say?" Rowan began shouting, "Mr. Guerra, I said these cutlery were used by Ms. Thorne...” "Who used them?" "Ms. Thorne!" "Who?" "Ms. Thorne" "Who?" 1/4 87% Chapter 579 Too Overindulgent There was only Lysander between them, and Josiah was too young to be hard of hearing. It was obviously intentional Herbert intervened with a smile, "Mr. Guerra, Mr. Cobb misspoke. He meant Ms. Thorne." Herbert's voice wasn't loud, but Josiah nodded. "Oh, Ms. Thorne." "Yes," Rowan was still looking bewildered. "Isn't it the sperson? What's the problem?" +5 Pearls Herbert reminded him, "Ms. Thomne now holds the highest authority in the company Remember to address her by her title in the future. Despite her young age, her position commands respect." Josiah chuckled in satisfaction. "Mr. Castillo is indeed a pillar of the company. No wonder Mr. Thorne, always said, you have outstanding abilities and a promising future." Herbert smiled. "Mr. Guerra, you flatter me." "Okay, let's proceed. Mr. Cobb, please continue with your speech." After a small episode, Josiah continued eating the leftovers, while Lysander continued to note down the key points of the speeches. Most of the people in the company, including Herbert, understood the current situation and remained silent.

Only Rowan, still relying on his seniority, continued to belittle Lysander, thinking she was unworthy. However, this time, Josiah remained silent. He simply smirked when Rowan mentioned Lysander was "disrespectful to her elders" and "women are long hair creatures with short sight." His voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough for everyone in the meeting room to hear Finally, when the meeting ended, Josiah was about to approach Lysander, but Rowan intercepted him.

Josiah stopped, his expression indifferent. He coldly said, "Mr. Cobb, it seems you have something to say?" Rowan hurriedly nodded, abandoning his previous authoritative demeanor in front of Lysander. Josiah glanced at his watch. "I have other arrangements. I can spare twenty minutes at most." "That's enough. It's already a great honor that you're willing to spare stfor me," Rowan said, ingratiatingly, Josiah's expression remained unchanged, merely indicating that Rowan should speak quickly.

Rowan began to lament, "Mr. Guerra, we didn't mean to disturb you, but as you saw today, this new Ms. Thorne is indeed the apple of Mr. Thorne's eye. However, she's just a little girl. She's too young, and yet she's so audacious. The competitive tendering hasn't even begun, and she's already talking about winning He continued, "Logically, this is an arrangement made by Mr. Thorne, and we shouldn't question his decisions as employees of the company. But we really can't help but feel sorry for him!" Casually losiah nosed a question "Mr. Cobb do you lack confidence in the competitive tendering?" 2/4 10:56 Thu, 20 Jun GU Chapter 579 Too Overindulgent Rowan was stumped.

87% +5 Pearls A senior employee immediately chimed in. "If you were handling the business now, we'd definitely be confident. But the person in charge now clearly isn't professional. How can we trust her? She's just making empty promises!" Josiah's face suddenly darkened.

The senior employees were peeping around in the back, but when they saw the flattery had backfired, they recoiled and fell silent.

Rowan gathered his courage and began to play the victim. "Mr. Guerra, she's been targeting us senior employees since she arrived. It's really disheartening. Back when we were fighting alongside Mr. Thorne, other companies tried to poachwith high salaries, but I stayed loyal." Josiah didn't respond, nor did he interrupt.

Rowan continued, sounding more genuine, "We all know you're doing this for Thorne Constructions and Energies' sake. So we must say this: please persuade Mr. Thorne. If the company keeps letting this girl mess around, it won't be long before it collapses!" Josiah cut him off, “As long as I'm here, Thorne Constructions and Energies won't collapse." With Lysander now the CEO of Thorne Constructions and Energies, Josiah's words hinted that he might intend to take back control of the company.

Rowan began to ponder the underlying meaning of Josiah's statement.

No one dared to directly question Josiah's stance.

Twenty minutes flew by quickly.

Lysander finished packing her documents, carrying her laptop bag and folders, and walked out of the conference room without a glance at anyone. The two sides met in the corridor.

Still seething with anger, Rowan and his group glared at her with Lysander ignored them and walked away as if they didn't exist.

a mix of anger and fear.

Suddenly, Josiah quickened his pace to follow. Being tall with long legs, he swiftly caught up and walked in stride beside Lysander.

The senior employees assumed he had something to say to Lysander and watched eagerly.

In the next moment, a scene that completely took everyone by surprise unfolded.

Josiah reached out naturally, making a gesture to take her laptop bag.

"I can carry it myself," Lysander murmured softly.

Josiah slowed his pace to match her steps in high heels. "It's heavy, give it to me." As he spoke. he gently to took the lanton bag and all the documents from her hands, carrying ip them himself.

Rowan was dumbfounded, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

Isn't this sibling being overindulgent? Why is he acting like her assistant? Even an assistant wouldn't eat someone else's leftovers! That's too rude. Besides, we're talking about Mr. En- Guerra here. He managed Thorne Constructions and Energies for years! Isn't it safe to say that he's her benefactor? Even Mr. Thorne didn't dare to summon and dismiss Mr.

Guerra so casually. Why should this girl get away with it?

Turning back, he angrily asked the other senior employees, "Isn't she going too far? Mr. Thorne spoiled her rotten! An overindulgent father raises a spoiled daughter! She dares to act so high and mighty in front of Mr. Guerra. If she makes him angry, she'll face the consequences!" Other senior employees: Can't you guess why she's so high and mighty? X
