"Uncle, if that's how you are going to decide things, then I think even we have to hold the formality."
Although the tone was still as polite as ever, the threat beneath it was impossible to ignore.
Morgan's sharp gaze turned to the one who had spoken, hisld stare carrying a weight thatuld make anyone tremble. He didn't say a word, but the sheer intensity of his eyes was enough to send chills through the room.
William, standing silently at the side, clicked his tongue, shaking his head internally. Some people really don't know when to stop.
The relative hesitated under Morgan's piercing gaze, but then steeling himself, he mustered all hisnfidence andntinued, "Don't take this as my disrespect to you, Uncle. Everyone here holds you in the highest regard, but in return, we also expect the samensideration. Even rabbits bite whenncerned. We may not have taken part in thempany's operations, but we are still Win slows. We are still family. Do you think we will just stand by and do nothing?"
The more Morgan listened, the more amused he became. When did the younger generation bme so eloquent?
They had mastered the art of speaking righteously while harboring dark malice in their hearts.
A soft ff escaped his lips, unnoticed by those around him.
His gaze swiftly swept across the room, searching for anyone who stood apart from the herd —someone with a trace of genuineurage or independent thought.
But he found none.
Not that he had expected better.
These people had spent their lives hiding behind the Winslow name, using it to their advantage, growing fat on the family's influence without lifting ever a finger tontribute to it. What betteruld they be now?
"Uncle, we can't just sit back and do nothing," another voice spoke up, emboldened by the growing unrest. "Even if we never stepped in thempany, we still hold its shares. If we all stand together, it might not destroy Winslow Global, but it will definitely bring irreparable damage."
At those words, Williams, who had been silent until now, suddenly let out a low, warning growl.
"How audacious!" His voice thundered through the room, making several people jolt in their stances. "You think you can threaten Sir?"
The ripple of fear spread among the relatives. None had expected the butler —always calm andmposed —to suddenly lose his restraint.
It was at that moment they realized Butler William might have bme butler of the house now, but in the early years, he was the same man who stood beside Morgan Winslow and took care of all threats.
There was a rrd set that not even a single enemy was able to make close to the ten-hand distance of Morgan's shadow.
Not that people didn't try, but none were ever successful.
They all were dealt brutally … by no other but the polite, harmless-looking William.
The man's loyalty was extreme. He wouldn't let even the slightest threat linger in the air.
And still, they all dared to threaten the old man right in front of him.
If people knew, they might think that all of them have lost interest in living.
Cold sweat beads layered their forehead, but before anyoneuld react, a crisp tap of Morgan's cane echoed through the silence, instantly restraining William's anger.
