Chapter 219 Samuel Harrett

Samuel Harrett was somewhat disappointed when he had such a member being in a high position, but his intelligence was severely lacking.

"Seriously, what kind of suggestion is that?" Samuel Harrett kept his composure and asked in disbelief.

"Did you think I hadn't made any arrangements regarding that matter already? If you think I'm incompetent enough to do that, then step up and take over my seat." He added, causing the person who had suggested the idea to shiver in fear.

"I-I did not mean any offense, Patraitch. Please forgive my recklessness." The member got up from his seat and went on his knees, pleading for mercy.

Despite being in a high position among most people, he knew fairly well that if you offended Samuel Harrett, then your livelihood was over.

"Your appearance is unpleasant. Get out of here." Samuel Harrett placed a hand on his chin and waved with his other hand, seemingly annoyed by his presence.

"Yes yes yes, I'll leave right away." The member hurriedly said, hastily running through the exit door, which Butler Wade kindly opened the door for him to leave.

Meanwhile, the other members who were still seated said nothing, but their stoned-face expressions explained a lot. It seemed as if such a scene was so common to them.

After the member left in a rush, Samuel Harrett returned his attention to the meeting table.

"Now, if you have some ridiculous suggestion like that person earlier, then step up now and leave the room." He then said, his eyes scanning each and every one of them.

The tension in the atmosphere was palpable, and Samuel Harrett understood that none of them were reliable. Either they were too afraid to speak up or they had dumb ideas like the person he had just kicked out.

'No wonder why we are so stagnated and have even been accused of every little bullshit that has happened. Those damn bastards seriously think we would attempt to create a monster wave to benefit us!' Samuel Harrett cursed silently, still feeling a bit frustrated by the other four families' accusation.

And what surprised him even more was the fact that even the Hill Family had joined in with the rest to accuse him.

Ever since the incident five years ago, the Hill Family had been quiet and kept to themselves, yet they were quite provocative this time.

Unable to fathom why the Hill Family suddenly wanted to take action against him, Samuel Harrett was exasperated.

While Samuel Harrett remained silent, seemingly stuck in his own world, Butler Wade took notice of this. He made a signal to the other members that they could leave and allow Samuel Harrett to be alone.

As a butler for so long, how could Butler Wade not understand the current turmoil and emotion Samuel Harrett was having?

A few minutes later, the meeting room that was originally packed, now became empty and desolate, with only Butler Wade and Samuel Harrett remaining.

"Patriarch, you should take a rest and stop overworking yourself. The Harrett Family would not fall." Butler Wade walked toward him and consoled him.

"I want to rest as well, Wade." Samuel Harrett sighed softly and stared at him.

"But look at all these incompetent fools that are under me. It's always me planning this and that. Without me holding the forte, we would have long fallen out as part of the Five Families." He added.

"There's still the Young Miss, Patriarch."

"That spoiled daughter of mine? I haven't even gotten over the fact that she snuck out to the wilderness with that brute from the Carlson Family!"

After saying that, Samuel Harrett stood up and glared at Butler Wade. "Why did you even allow her to go off when you're supposed to guard and protect her?"

"The Young Miss isn't that weak, Patriarch. We'll need to give her adequate freedom and the choice to do what she wants." Butler Wade was unfazed and kept his calm composure.

If it were any other people, then they might have already been frightened to death by such a threatening piercing gaze directed at them.

Snorting softly, Samuel Harrett turned around and said, "Since you made that judgment alone without notifying me. Then here's the punishment. You are to be promoted to lead the military team under us and succeed in regaining our honor."

"What about the Young Miss then?" Butler Wade enquired, clearly not a bit surprised by the arrangement, and was more focused on Olivia Harrett.

"That spoiled daughter of mine went too far this time! Had it not been for Hank's timely protection, then she might have died without me knowing anything. If my late wife were able to come back out, then I would have been too ashamed to even face her. She shall be grounded at home and not allowed to go outside until the monster wave has been suppressed." Samuel Harrett sneered.

Butler Wade nodded his head. He agreed with the judgment, believing it was safer for Olivia Harrett to remain within the walls.

The wilderness was filled with chaos and unpredictable variables. Even he was not confident in dealing with the matter, so how could he afford Olivia Harrett to face any dangerous risk.

"I shall head out to gather the military team, Patriarch." Butler Wade bowed slightly.

"Go ahead, I have already authorized your accessible level and changed your rank temporarily."

"Understood, Patriarch." historical

With that said, Butler Wade made an exit, seemingly rushing to the area that stationed the military team under the Harrett Family.

A few seconds later, Samuel Harrett was all alone at the top floor of their headquarters, his eyes gazing through the windows.

His eyes were crystal clear and held a profound expression, a far cry from his earlier outburst and unreasonable emotions.

'Wade is a trusted aide of mine, but those incompetent fools are different. One of them must have betrayed the Harrett Family. Otherwise, how can we always be a step behind everyone else?' Samuel Harrett pondered silently, clearly believing someone was messing with them.
