Chapter 1906 “Well, how much money do we have now? Is it enough to prevent this man from acquiring the remaining shares?”
The vice president shook his head. “We can’t do that because…”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “I understand that when Ms. Luna infused her money into reviving Landry Group, you had allocated some funds into a backup account for emergencies like this, but on the day you fell unconscious, Ms. Charlotte withdrew the rest of this money under your name.”
Jim immediately lifted his head to stare at the vice president in surprise. “Charlotte withdrew my money?”
The vice president nodded. “Yes. However, Ms. Charlotte didn’t use this money elsewhere and instead had infused it into Landry Group’s financial planning.
“Because of this, we were successfully able to unbind ourselves from Quinn Group as soon as possible and prevent further losses.”
Jim slumped back into his chair in defeat and rubbed his brows in frustration. There was a hint of tiredness in his tone as he said, “If that’s the case, there are only two solutions.
“The first is to force Luna to reallocate all her shares of Landry Group to me.
“The second option…is to find this man who is buying up all of our shares and beg him to show us mercy.”
As he said this, Jim glanced at the vice president and asked, “Do you know who’s been buying u p all our shares?”
The vice president lowered his head to glance at the page before him.
For a split second, he thought he had misread the words.
After making sure that he had not misinterpreted anything, he finally said, albeit hesitantly,” The person who’s on his way to becoming Landry Group’s largest shareholder…is Lucas Bean, Joshua Lynch’s personal assistant.”
Jim immediately furrowed his brows when he heard this.
He narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.
He had finally confirmed that Joshua had been planning this all along!
He could not believe that the man who owned the majority of Landry Group’s shares was none other than Joshua’s assistant!
How ironic.
The last two people who had positions on the board and, therefore, had a say in everything Landry Group did, were none other than Luna and Joshua’s assistant!
All of a sudden, the door was pushed open,
Charlotte strode elegantly into the room and gently wrapped her arms around Jim’s shoulders. “I saw from the second floor balcony that Luna has arrived.
“She came with her friend, and the person escorting her was Luke Jones, the leader of the largest gang in Merchant City.”
The vice president, who had been tidying his notes, suddenly froze when he heard this name.
Even though his actions were barely noticeable, they could not escape Jim’s hawk-like eyes. H e furrowed his brows and glanced at the man. “What’s wrong? Do you know this man, Luke
Jones?”
The vice president nodded, then suddenly shook his head. “There’s no one in Merchant City… that doesn’t know that name,
“Rumors say that Luke Jones is cruel and heartless and never hesitates when taking revenge o n the people that wronged him.
“The last gang leader in Merchant City, a man named Todd, was killed by Luke Jones himself.”
As he said this, the vice president started to shake. “I hear that Todd accepted a job offer that h e shouldn’t have and killed someone, but the person who was killed was Luke’s friend.
“Because of this, Luke had murdered Todd as soon as he found evidence of his crimes.”
The color drained from Charlotte’s face when she heard this. Todd was dead?
