"Why!"

"Why did you, Cook, still choose Gao Ren even though I've shown such great sincerity?"

"Why!!!"

Cook looked at William, who had clearly emphasized his second "why," and replied with a slightly amused expression,

"Support the obedient Eli to replace you..."

"Or rather, it was Gao Ren who suggested that George be plunged into internal strife within the entire Rothschild family!"
