“Whenever the acting patriarch wants to take something, he just tells me and takes it. Sometimes he takes it first and calls me afterward to let me know. I don’t even have a chance to stop him. Even if I did, I wouldn’t dare to stop him.”
Titus looked at Lonbin for a long moment before saying gently, “I’m sorry to trouble you. I’ll ask Timothy about this matter. In the future, if anyone comes here to pick something up, have them ask me or Jennifer first.”
“They can only take things from here after they get our permission.”
Lonbin thought he had gotten away with it, so he quickly replied, “Yes, Patriarch. I’ll do as you say from now on.”
If anyone tried to take advantage of him again, he could simply invoke the patriarch’s authority. People who were used to taking advantage of others would naturally resent the patriarch if they were stopped.
Did Titus really think he would be safe just because he had taken the position of patriarch?
Titus stood up and said, “I’m moving in next week, so this place needs to be spotless. I have extremely high standards when it comes to cleanliness.”
