Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 257

Hearing Simon’s question, Robert couldn’t say a word at all.

He really couldn’t do anything at that time.

If Marina had not rushed over in time, his hand might really have been chopped off by Yenny.

Thinking of this, Robert’s head drooped even lower.

“In the past. I thought you were still young. It’s fine if you fooled around and didn’t take things seriously then, but take a look at yourself. How old are you now?

“Although Marina is your aunt, she’s about your age.

“Have you seen how she deals with things and people usually?

“I don’t expect you to be successful, but you have to be able to protect yourself when you encounter danger, right?

“If Marina hadn’t arrived in time, have you thought about what would have happened to you?

“You’ve always told me that you don’t want to inherit the company. That’s fine, but all the shares you have belong to your

father.

“This is the only thing your father left for you. Can’t you even protect that?”

Simon rarely said so many words.

Yet now, every word was like a sharp blade that ruthlessly stabbed into Robert’s heart.

Robert moved his lips, seeming like he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he heard Simon mutter.

“Forget it. I shouldn’t compare you to Marina. How can you compare to her?”

Robert was rendered speechless.

These words were even more hurtful.

“Let’s talk about Peter. His reputation is similar to yours, but at least he’s serious in his work.

“Since you could actually contact Peter, I’m sure you know a thing or two about him.

“I won’t blame you if you can’t become Marina, but you should at least be similar to Peter, right?” Simon’s expression was

calm.

Robert felt more and more ashamed of himself the more Simon spoke.

In the end, Robert slowly lowered his head. “I understand.”

“From tomorrow onward, I will give you a subsidiary company to manage. After a year, I want to see that you have improved. Otherwise, even if your hand is really chopped off in the future, I will definitely not care anymore!” Simon said word by word.

When Robert heard this, he wanted to say something, but when he saw Simon’s gaze, he swallowed his words.

This time, he was indeed too incompetent.

“Then… where is the subsidiary company located? It can’t be in a godforsaken place like Solemwood, right?” Robert had already chosen to compromise.

After all, in front of his uncle, he had no choice but to give in.

“It’s not in Solemwood, Simon said calmly.

Robert immediately heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

“It’s good that it’s not in Solemwood! Thank God!”

It was so boring to stay there.

It was far and remote. There was no entertainment there at all.

Usually, he couldn’t even find anyone he knew.

Other people only knew how to flatter him.

“It’s in Sakno City, Simon said after a pause.

“What? Where did you say it was?” Robert, who was rejoicing a second ago, immediately widened his eyes at this moment.

“Sakno City,” Simon repeated.

Robert finally believed that he had not misheard Simon.

“Uncle Simon, I’m your nephew. How could you treat me like this?” Robert almost cried.

Sakno City was at the northernmost point of the map.

It was so cold there, and it was even more remote than Solemwood.

“If you weren’t my nephew, do you think you would still be standing in front of me now?” Simon gave him a look.

Robert instantly swallowed his words.

“Um… I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I’ll definitely work hard in the future..

“Please don’t send me somewhere so far away. Can you just give me a position at headquarters?

“I’m fine with any position. I can even sweep the floor and guard the door!” Robert pleaded.

“Do you think you’re even qualified to sweep the floor and guard the main entrance of the headquarters?” Simon’s tone was

calm.

Robert was at a loss for words.

“I’ll give you one night to pack. I’ll drive you to the airport myself in the morning.

“Of course, you can also choose to refuse, but don’t call me Uncle Simon anymore.” Simon’s tone was firm.

There was no room for negotiation.

Robert was really in tears now.

If he had known this would happen, he would not have called Marina to help him.

Even if his hand had to be chopped off, he didn’t think it would be worse than what he had to deal with now.

“I understand.” However, Robert didn’t dare to resist.

He only lowered his head and replied.

Then… when can I come back?” Robert was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and asked Simon.

“You can come back when you achieve results,” Simon said.

“Alright, I won’t mess around this time!” Robert gritted his teeth.

Then, he turned around and left. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

It was not until Robert’s figure completely disappeared at the door that Simon slowly retracted his

However, his eyes were filled with a mixture of emotions.

Gavin, who was standing at the side, stared at Simon.

gaze.

Gavin then let out a long sigh. “I hope Mr. Robert will come to understand your good intentions this time.”

The reason why Simon wanted to send Robert to such a remote place was not because Simon wanted to punish Robert at all.

He wanted Robert to be as far away from the danger in Janeborough as possible.

Simon was actually protecting Robert.

“He is Edward’s only bloodline. I don’t expect him to bring great honor to the Hernandez family. I only hope that he can live a peaceful life.” Simon’s voice was a little low.

“Mr. Robert will definitely understand,” Gavin said firmly.

“Let’s hope so, Simon replied in a low voice.

“How’s the Pembroke family?”

At the mention of the Pembroke family, Simon’s expression instantly turned cold.

The reason why Marina was injured this time was because of the Pembroke family.

“Yenny has not made any huge moves. He probably doesn’t know that we’re back yet,” Gavin replied.

“What arrangements does Yenny have recently?” Simon’s expression was solemn.

“He’s going to attend the opening ceremony of one of his subsidiary companies tomorrow.” The moment Gavin returned, he already started tracking Yenny from all angles.

“Very good. I’ll give him a big gift tomorrow!” Simon said through gritted teeth.

During this period of time, Yenny had been continuously making things difficult for him.

Simon had always wanted to track down Lambert, so Simon tolerated Yenny no matter what he did.

Now, it was finally time for Simon to launch a counterattack!

Simon thought, “Yenny, let’s settle the score between us slowly!”
