At the Moore family residence.
In Johan's room.
Followed by a crash, Johan threw the teacup in his hand on the floor. His face was gloomy. Even though he was old and had left his descendants to their own devices, he still had a temper. Jepherson had gone too far that time.
Johan had just seen the news on the TV that morning. He had never imagined that the Richards family, who were never a threat in the past, would behave like that. If he had known about it earlier, then he wouldn't have criticized Hansen in public.
It was dead silent in Johan's room. Elina's face was pale. It was her second daughter's fault. Her son had made it clear to her, but he wanted to hide the truth. Even if Johan got mad, they couldn't say it. Otherwise, her son would be finished if Yousif found out.
Elina was a scheming woman. It was impossible for her not to know how important that matter was. She could only let her son bear that responsibility alone. She promised that she would teach her second daughter a lesson when she returned home.
Elina kept her head down. Flynt, who was standing opposite her, did not do anything. Johan looked at Flynt. Even though the child had failed, his attitude was not that of an ordinary person. When Johan threw the teacup, everyone else in the room shuddered. Only Flynt stood there, not once did he flinch. Was he not afraid, or had he already thought about his punishment?
Johan narrowed his eyes slightly. Right then, although there were a lot of children in the Moore family, only a few of them were outstanding. Especially the boys, where not many of them were capable. Flynt could be considered the most outstanding one among them.
Johan looked at the people around him and ordered, "Get out, all of you. Flynt, stay."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Everyone, including Yousif, backed out of the room. After they were gone, Johan looked at Flynt. "Come here. They're all gone. What are you still standing there for?"
Flynt stepped forward to face Johan. Johan glanced at the butler and said, "Bring a chair over for him."
The butler was in a hurry to do what Johan had ordered. He moved a chair for Flynt. Flynt sat down and looked at Johan face to face.
"Old Master." It was normal for Flynt to address his great- grandfather that way, according to tradition. However, it was the first time someone in the family had addressed Johan that way.
At first, Johan wasn't used to it. He didn't respond to it immediately, but then he chuckled. "You're indeed bold. Looks like your mother taught you quite well."
Flynt said, "It was my negligence this time. Old Master, please punish me."
"Punishment is necessary. If there's no punishment, then you will not learn your lesson. However, we can put it aside for now. When you want to undergo this punishment in the future, I will give it to you."
Johan said. Flynt looked at him and asked, "Old Master, there's something I don't understand. Why has our family been in charge of politics all these years and refuse to step into the business world?"
Johan chuckled. "The Moore family has always been loyal to Capital City for many generations. It has never had an inordinate wish. On one hand, the Moore family had created great achievements pre- independence. No matter where these achievements are placed, they are more than enough for our family's living expenses. The government officials have also been good to our family. These years, they have been taking good care of our family, and we've also tried our best to help the country."
