Conrad smacked the table hard and roared, “Don’t be so full of yourself, Henry Law! Do you think you can disrespect us just because your father is rich?”
“Hehe…”
Henry removed his feet from the conference table and stared at Conrad before saying, “Anyone else is qualified to say those words but not you, you old braggart. Got it?
“Had it not been for your rich father, would you even have stood a chance to be here today? You’re just a f*cking idiot.
“Darn it. We’re both trust fund babies with hard-working dads, so don’t pretend like you’re some sort of VIP in front of me!”
As he spoke, Henry grinned at the sullen and livid Conrad, adding, “Oh that’s right, you forgot something. I not only have a hard-working father, but also an awesome grandfather. Your father is the only one you can fall back on, so stop boasting in front of me or I’ll smack you to death.”
Conrad was losing his mind.
He merely said one thing about Henry in a fit of pique earlier, but Henry shot back like rapid fire and said at least seven to eight things about him.
Moreover, there was no room for him to refute.
Truth be told, he had indeed relied on his family’s business to get to where he was today. Had he not been a Monty and had he not been lucky enough to be born in a well-off family, he probably would not have achieved what he had achieved today.
Conrad gritted his teeth, and with a trace of sanity left in him, he said with a sneer, “Just because you have a stronger backing than me, you think you can disregard me as a human? Fine, I’ll find someone who’s on par with you and see how you can handle that.”
As he said those words, Conrad got up and walked toward the conference room’s lounge. He opened the door and said, “It’s your turn now, Mr. Langdon.”
Having said those words, Mitch Langdon walked out of the lounge with a smile while everyone’s attention was on him. He first glared bitterly at Jasper and then looked at Henry while smirking. “Hey, Henry. Surprised to see me?”
Henry was surprised indeed. “F*ck me. No wonder Conrad is so full of himself. It’s because you’re here to back him up, huh?”
As Henry said those words, he chuckled and continued, “What’s wrong? The slap you received in Harbor City wasn’t painful enough? Do you want me to do it myself?”
Mitch’s expression changed abruptly.
He thought his presence would leave him shocked and stunned, but little did he know, both Jasper and Henry were completely unstirred.
The words that Henry said felt like a knife twisting in his wounds.
It had been absolutely humiliating for him to receive a slap in the face by his fiancée at the celebrity cocktail party in Harbor City. For a fine young master like Mitch, getting humiliated in public was worse than having his life taken.
All the old and recent grudges swept over Mitch, and he said coldly, “Henry, keep being so arrogant and someone will claim your life one day.”
Henry replied with a sneer, “Well, I’m already eager to die. Do you want to claim my life?”
“…” Mitch was livid, saying, “Calm down. It’ll happen one day.”
After Mitch spoke, he gave Henry no chance to rebuke and said to Conrad, “What are you doing, Conrad? This is your company, how could you allow outsiders to make irresponsible remarks like that in the shareholders meeting?”
Conrad had calmed down tremendously by now. He took a deep breath and replied, “That’s right. We’re in a shareholders meeting. Let’s not talk about things unrelated to the motions.”
Upon hearing his reply, Dwayne, who had long felt as though he was sitting on pins and needles, breathed a huge sigh of relief.
To be honest, he felt as though two gods were fighting each other, and he was afraid that they would take their anger out on him.
At this moment, he quickly said, “Back to the meeting. Mr. Laine, do you want us to vote on both of your motions?”
“Yes.”
Jasper did some stretches. He seemed as though he had just come back to his senses and became aware of the things he needed to do.
“Hurry up, I’m in a rush to go home for lunch!”
