CHAPTER 31: CHAPTER 31: STRICT WITH OTHERS

When Kyle Keaton arrived at the company, Nathan Jacobs and the others were already in the meeting room.

Originally, Kyle Keaton wanted to say, "Sorry, I’m late."

No matter what, he was still the assistant to the president, and he knew he sometimes had to say things that fit his role.

But before Kyle Keaton could speak, Nathan Jacobs, who was standing in front of the projection screen, spoke first.

"Assistant Keaton is really prestigious, making so many of us wait for you alone."

Nathan Jacobs was already displeased with Kyle Keaton, and today he happened to catch him being late in person.

What annoyed him even more was that Miles Jacobs insisted on waiting for Kyle Keaton before starting the meeting.

Nathan Jacobs was fuming,

and Kyle Keaton just happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.

Then don’t blame him for being ruthless.

But Nathan didn’t expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Miles Jacobs lashed out coldly at him.

"Nathan, didn’t you also just barely make it to the meeting room on time?"

Indeed, Nathan Jacobs had arrived just a few minutes before Kyle Keaton.

But being exposed for being late as well, Nathan furiously retorted, "Uncle, am I the same as him?"

After all, he was the general manager of the company.

But Kyle Keaton?

He’s just a president’s assistant.

There’s a huge difference in positions; how can they be treated the same?

But Miles Jacobs didn’t seem to consider that, and he even reprimanded him.

"How many times have I told you, in the company, I’m not your uncle."

Nathan Jacobs was furious, but he had no choice but to change his words, "Sorry, Mr. Jacobs."

Why should he apologize now when Miles Jacobs held all the power in The Jacobs Group?

"If it happens again, go home and stay there."

Miles Jacobs sternly scolded Nathan Jacobs.

But at the same time, it was also a hint to Nathan Jacobs not to target Kyle Keaton — this person was definitely not someone Nathan could afford to offend.

What Miles Jacobs didn’t know was that his hint to Nathan Jacobs was taken as his uncle making things difficult for him for Kyle Keaton’s sake.

He didn’t dare defy Miles Jacobs, but couldn’t he still deal with an assistant?

"Mr. Jacobs, you’re my uncle, and I’m used to calling you that. If I occasionally slip and say it at the company, it’s understandable. But if Mr. Jacobs insists on clinging to this point and wants me to go home for it, I accept that. But if Mr. Jacobs is really so strict, shouldn’t it be the same for everyone?"

Hearing Nathan Jacobs’ words, Miles Jacobs had a bad premonition.

But before he could stop him, Nathan Jacobs continued.

"Yet Mr. Jacobs is extremely indulgent when it comes to Assistant Keaton. Whether he’s late or leaves early, it’s ignored. So I don’t understand; why is Assistant Keaton treated better than your own nephew? Could it be that Assistant Keaton is closer to you than your own nephew?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the others in the meeting room wandered strangely between Kyle Keaton and Miles Jacobs.

Meanwhile, Nathan Jacobs looked at Kyle Keaton with a mocking expression.

But strangely, even though Kyle Keaton was sitting and he was standing, he still couldn’t feel any dominance over Kyle Keaton.

Staring at Kyle Keaton, he only saw the contempt in his eyes and an inexplicable, chilling feeling...

It shouldn’t be like this!

Nathan Jacobs couldn’t understand where this feeling came from, just as he heard Miles Jacobs curse, "What the hell are you talking about?"

Dressed in a floral shirt and white pants, with meticulous tinfoil curls, and even wearing perfume more prominent than a woman’s, Miles Jacobs knew swearing was unbecoming and ruined his image.

But he couldn’t help it!

This wretched nephew actually suggested he was closer to Kyle Keaton than his own family?

Wasn’t that deliberately leading others to think there was some unspeakable relationship between him and Kyle Keaton?

Moreover, if this wretched nephew had as much financial backing as a certain lord, with inexhaustible funds to casually throw a Caelan Sea-level project, he’d absolutely hold his nephew on a pedestal.

Hug and lift him high without hesitation, even if it meant getting trampled by a dog!

But could he say that out loud?

No!

Therefore, he had to reprimand Nathan Jacobs.

"Nathan Jacobs, there’s nothing improper between me and Assistant Keaton, don’t project those filthy thoughts onto us. Apologize to Assistant Keaton immediately, or leave The Jacobs Group."

But today, Nathan Jacobs seemed determined to cling to this issue; even after being scolded, he stubbornly refused to stop.

"If you want me to apologize to Assistant Keaton, have him first address his tardiness and early departures over the past few days."
