Chapter 310 You Have the Highest Status Here

Now Gage was panicking too. Once this evidence was submitted, he'd naturally face legal consequences.

He didn't even know how much evidence Ambrose had. If he had evidence against Bodhi, then Bodhi's future would be affected as well.

He looked at Cody, who had been keeping his eyes down; his face showed a pained expression.

Cody hated seeing his family fight each other , so seeing them like this made him feel terrible.

"Dad."

Only then did Cody look up. When he looked at Gage, his eyes were sharp, "Gage, I've always turned a blind eye to what you've done, but why do you keep doing these shady things over and over? If you had the ability, you could take the family head position, but do you?"

He sighed. "I've given you chances. I've always been the one cleaning up your mess. If the company were handed to you, it would just go bankrupt. Ambrose runs it well. Isn't it enough to simply take your dividends peacefully?"

"Dad, I'm just saying it's unfair to Bodhi." Gage brought up Bodhi.

"But when Bodhi joined the company, we all asked you about it, and you agreed. Now why are you saying you don't agree?"

"He doesn't want to go to the business department, so where does he want to go? The CEO position? Does he have what it takes? If he does, he can have the position." Cody angrily slapped the armrest.

"That's because you didn't let him be CEO!"

"What has he done all these years? Other than eating, drinking, and having fun, what else has he done?"

"If Bodhi wants a high position, he needs to show real ability, not do shady things behind people's backs, sabotaging his own family's projects. Not only did he mess it up, but he also left evidence. Is this all you're capable of?"

Cody's words left him with no face to save.

Gage was left speechless.

The room fell silent for a long time. Finally, Cody turned to look at Ambrose.

"Ambrose, I know Gage has caused you a lot of trouble over the years, but you're still family. You can't air dirty laundry in public. Once this gets out, what will people think of the family? This can't be reported to the authorities."

Cody had always been like this. Every time Gage did something, he'd cover for him. But this time, Ambrose didn't want to spare his dignity anymore.

He crossed his legs and looked coldly at Cody. "Grandpa, you keep covering for Uncle Gage. Are you planning to let him do this again?"

"Don't worry, if there's a next time, I definitely won't get involved again," Cody said.

"You've said that more than once before." Ambrose laughed coldly.

"Grandpa, he's your son, I know. But my dad was your son too. You know best how my dad died. I feel it's unfair to him."

"Ambrose, I've told you, your dad's death had nothing to do with Gage. It was all an accident. I'm heartbroken too."

When Cody mentioned this, his face went pale.

Ambrose laughed coldly and said nothing more. He stood up, not planning to stay any longer.

"Grandpa, you decide. Either hand this over, or let the Boleyn Group take the hit and be destroyed."

Ambrose didn't care about the Boleyn Group. What he cared about now was just Cody's attitude.

Whether Cody would protect Gage or protect the company was Cody's decision.

Cody understood what Ambrose meant. He was making him choose between Gage and the company.

"Ambrose, why must you do this?"

"Because I don't want to be a fool anymore." After saying this, Ambrose left.

After Ambrose left, Gage ran to Cody and knelt down. "Dad, he's showing you no respect at all. He thinks he's so capable that he looks down on everyone. Dad, Bodhi has ability. Why not choose Bodhi? Bodhi will definitely listen to you."

Cody kicked at him. "Idiot! I've put up with you again and again, and you still won't behave. Are you trying to shorten my life?"

"No matter how capable Bodhi is, can he compare to Ambrose? In this family, only Ambrose has the ability to support the Boleyn Group. The Boleyn Group is the legacy of our ancestors. I can't let you ruin it. I've given you enough chances, but you insist on making trouble. Don't blame me then. I can't watch our century-old family business disappear."

After hearing this, Gage froze.

"Grandpa, this has nothing to do with my dad. I did it." Suddenly, Bodhi walked out from around the corner.

Cody frowned at the person walking over. "Bodhi?"

"My dad has always been fighting for power and hasn't accepted Ambrose, and he wanted me to compete too. I didn't agree at first, but later I wanted to join the new energy project. Ambrose didn't agree. I was upset. Why can't I? Ambrose controls everything himself—he looks down on me, so I wanted to fight for myself too."

After hearing Bodhi's words, Cody shouted angrily, "A bunch of idiots!"

"New energy is a project Ambrose is developing. He doesn't even tell me much about it. It's to create a backup plan for the Boleyn Group's future."

"You don't even have that professional background. When you suddenly asked to go to that department, how could he agree? Especially with your dad constantly undermining him. Bodhi, you can't aim too high. If you have talent, start from the business department. If you're capable, he won't object and will naturally think highly of you."

"Why should I need him to think highly of me? Just because he's the family head now? Grandpa, you've always favored Ambrose since we were kids."

Bodhi looked upset.

Cody sighed and waved his hand. "Since you want to think that way, there's nothing I can do. Handle it yourselves. From now on, all matters will be decided by the family head. I'm powerless."

With that, he got up and left.

The Boleyn family couldn't be allowed to fall because of one or two greedy people.

Ambrose returned to Lakeside Garden right at dinner time, but when he sat at the table, he had no appetite.

Scarlett noticed something was wrong. After dinner, she sat on the edge of the bed and asked him quietly.

"Did something difficult happen today?"

Ambrose sat on the edge of the bed, silently looking at her for a while before speaking.

"The construction site incident—Uncle Gage did it." Actually it was Bodhi who did it, just using Gage's name, but Ambrose didn't mention this.

Scarlett quickly understood. A family member doing this was creating trouble for him, and it was very difficult to resolve.

"Did you tell your grandpa?" She asked.

Ambrose nodded. "But from Grandpa's reaction, he's going to protect Uncle Gage."

Scarlett heard the disappointment in Ambrose's heart. She reached out and held him. At that moment, she didn't know what to say to comfort him.

Being treated this way by family—anyone would feel terrible.

"No matter whether your grandpa is partial to him or fair, you will always hold the highest place in my heart. No one can compare."

These words comforted Ambrose's heart.
