Colin wore a stiff expression, and his gaze remained fixed on the conference table. He did not look up as he was too afraid to meet anyone’s eyes.
Under tremendous pressure, huge beads of sweat were seeping out of Colin’s forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye. His throat moved and his lips quivered. Though slow, he remained firm as he said, “I said I agree with the motion Mr. Laine made.”
Boom!
Conrad smacked the conference table, no longer able to hold back the fury that tore through his heart. Amidst the thunderous boom, the frame of his expensive gold-rimmed glasses twisted and the lenses shattered in his hand. It tore the flesh of his hand, covering it in blood. The entire time, Conrad was unblinking.
“Do you have a death wish, Colin Walter?”
Conrad was so agitated that his voice changed. The sharp hiss made his voice sound particularly grating to the ears and especially terrifying.
Conrad stared fixedly at Colin, his gaze almost turning into two blades that threatened to slice Colin alive.
“Well, aren’t you really powerful?” Henry said sarcastically while leaning back in the office chair, looking at Conrad with a fascinated gaze as if he was staring at a monkey performing a show.
“We’re having a meeting, what’s with the rotten behavior? If you interrupt the meeting, then I will have no choice but to step in and take action.
“He has said it twice that he agrees with the motion. Do you not understand human language?”
Mitch stared at Henry with a sullen expression and sulked. “Can you shut up, Henry? What does this meeting have anything to do with you?”
“You want me to shut up?
“Who the f*ck do you think you are?
“Believe it or not, if I can bash all your teeth out in Harbor City, I can bash you up in the Mainland to the point where you can’t even find your teeth.”
Mitch was in a towering rage. He stood up and roared, “Don’t push it too far, Henry Law!”
“I enjoy bullying you, what are you going to do about that? Do you want to fight me one on one or do you want to call your parents? Why don’t we both call our fathers, or maybe go straight to our grandfathers?”
Henry stood up, looking sideways at Mitch while sneering.
Mitch’s breathing was getting labored, and his eyes were bloodshot. Clearly, his rage had gone through the roof.
Seeing how things were getting out of hand, Dwayne regretted not turning down the offer to preside over this meeting. His wrong move resulted in him getting sandwiched between two big shots and feeling the effects of their wrath.
Afraid that the situation would get out of hand, he said cautiously, “Should we continue with the meeting, gentlemen? If you have anything to say, say it after the meeting, okay?”
“Who do you think you are? Are you even qualified to speak? F*ck. Jasper has clearly bribed Colin, how the f*ck is this meeting supposed to go on?”
Mitch, who was in a towering rage, could not care less about his image anymore and turned around to spit curses at Dwayne.
Dwayne was livid. His expression then turned cold as he cast a chilly glance at Mitch, saying sternly, “The meeting still needs to go on no matter what. If you’re unhappy about this, Mr. Langdon, then feel free to report this afterward to the Securities Regulatory Commission so they can investigate it.”
Having said that, Dwayne announced straight away, “The first motion put forward by Mr. Laine of JW Investment Company is to dismiss certain unqualified company senior executives such as Mr. Benjamin Clark, the current general manager of the Investment Department, and investigate him for corruption.
“Those holding 54% of shares are in favor of the motion, 40% objected, and 6% abstained from voting. I declare that the motion is officially passed. This will be noted down in the meeting minutes. In the name of the shareholders meeting, this motion will be carried out with immediate effect.”
As Dwayne said those words, he turned around and looked coldly at Benjamin who was still in a daze, saying, “Mr. Benjamin, you’ve been voted out by the shareholders. Please leave the conference room and await further investigation.”
