“So it really is your fault, Jasper,” Echo spoke, looking at the man coldly.
Jasper sat on his seat and replied calmly, without even looking up at Echo. “I don’t think I understand what you mean, Mr. Welch.
“How am I at fault?”
Echo scoffed. He did not want to waste any more time arguing with Jasper, so he turned to Wayne with a dark look in his eyes.
“Mr. Marlon, you claimed that this is Abbylon Inc’s shareholder meeting. So what is this irrelevant person doing here?”
By irrelevant person, Echo was obviously referring to Jasper.
“Mr. Welch, the most important agenda of today’s shareholder meeting is to discuss whether we should allow JW Capital to invest in Abbylon. Therefore, it is only right that he is present,” Wayne replied unfazed.
Echo scoffed and said, “Very well. Then according to your company’s articles of association, you should’ve sent a letter of notice to your shareholders three days before the meeting. Yet, you’ve only told me today. Aren’t you being too clear with your intentions?”
Wayne found Echo’s aggressive questioning distasteful and replied indifferently, “Perhaps you did not take a proper look at our company’s articles then, Mr. Welch. Should there be any special and urgent agendas, I have the right to hold a meeting immediately.”
Echo’s eyes shone with a frigid glare.
The two previous questions might have seemed like Echo was intentionally antagonizing Jasper and Wayne, but it was actually a method he used to test Wayne’s stance on the issue.
Now that he had finished asking this, he had gotten his answer.
The situation was not in his favor.
Wayne himself was completely leaning toward Jasper, which was horrible news to Echo.
“Mr. Marlon, it was Mr. Shon from Softwin than invested in Abbylon when you needed funds the most. We were the ones who helped you then.
“But this is how you repay Softwin and Mr. Shon?!”
Wayne looked up at Echo and replied, “First of all, our deal is purely professional. Be it Softwin or Mr. Shon, your relationship with me and Abbylon goes no further than business partners. It’s a relationship built on mutually benefiting off each other, so there’s no need to make it sound so ostentatious.
“Secondly, once again from a professional perspective, I only have one goal. I’ll make whatever choice that benefits Abbylon the most, and I’m sure Mr. Shon will understand this.”
Echo sneered and replied, “How professional of you!
“Why are we the only ones here for a shareholder meeting? Where are the other shareholders?” Echo asked expressionlessly.
“The other shareholders have authorized me to vote on their behalf,” Wayne replied.
The corner of Echo’s lips twitched and he spoke expressionlessly, “If you’ve already written your scripts, then what’s the point of asking me to come and act it out with you?”
“Mr. Welch.”
Jose had no choice but to step up and speak upon seeing the atmosphere in the room turn tense. “No matter what, Softwin is still Abbylon’s majority shareholder, so we still need to follow procedures for formalities sake.”
“Ridiculous!”
Echo slammed his hand on the table and pointed at Jasper while barking, “You think I don’t know what you’re thinking?
“What did you agree with him? What did he promise you, huh? Did you forget how Softwin helped you during your most difficult times? If so, why are you working with him to target Softwin?”
After this, Echo’s sinister gaze fell on Jasper, and he chuckled.
