CHAPTER 241
After receiving a text from his secretary, Daniel only saw two words in reply: "Come back."Sitting in the car, Daniel glanced up at the road ahead, realizing they were heading toward the hotel. A wave of fear washed over him as he looked at his secretary."I really don't want to go. My brother is definitely going to be furious with me. Maybe I should wait a couple of days before I go."Hearing this, the secretary rolled her eyes and glanced at the driver, giving him a slight nod.There was no way to change direction now; the driver had already received orders and understood the situation. Daniel's brotherwas the boss, and if he were upset, no one would escape unscathed."Mr. Daniel, don't worry. No matter what, he's still your brother. We need to go and face this. If we keep delaying, who knows how it will end?" The secretary had been by Daniel's side for a while, and she knew exactly what kind of person he was. But two years ago, she had been working for Justice, Daniel's older br
CHAPTER 240
"Those who are reckless will surely facetrouble. I don't know if you've heard this saying, but this piece of clothing isn't worth much, just like your pair of leather shoes. However, to teach you a lesson and help you learn to reflect on your actions while you're still young, I think it's worth the price." Thomas inexplicably adopted a tone like that of an elder, which only made Daniel grind his teeth in frustration. He stepped forward, ready to argue, but his secretary firmly pulled him back.The secretary had a clear view of the situation. Emily and Marcus were merely watching from the sidelines, and seeing Emily treat the man with such respect made it clear that his status was not as simple as it appeared."Cut the act! Who do you think you are, my elder? You're just some broke guy hidingbehind the name of a company, trying to act tough. They might be scared of you, but I'm not. I don't care about these shares anyway."A few people nearby let out cold laughs athis words. Thomas'

"Everyone, let's get back on track. I still haven't had a chance to introduce myselfto the shareholder who just walked in," Marcus said, trying to redirect the attention and ease some of the pressure off Thomas. It was clear to anyone paying attention that he was doing this on purpose, and it inevitably drew the focus onto Daniel.Daniel glanced around at the curious facesand silently cursed his bad luck today."I admit I was late, but let's move on and properly welcome the new shareholder. We can consider this matter settled," he said smoothly, though the few people present didn't seem pleased."Well, that's fair enough. Traffic can be unpredictable, so there's no need to dwell on it. Let's continue our discussion about the company's dividend plans," Marcus replied, appearing very generous and genuinely unconcerned. Daniel felt a bit relieved. However, when he looked over at the person next to him, his relief faded. Emily was not smiling. He knew that while she might not beholding
CHAPTER 238
The family couldn't help but chuckle at the situation. It was amusing that, at this point, someone would still want to drag in other shareholders. They wondered what this woman was thinking."Looks like this shareholder has quite the influence, huh? Bigger than the last one, it seems. What excuse did that person give for not coming?"Hearing this, Emily furrowed her brow slightly. She knew they were referring to another shareholder, but she wasn't sure if Thomas would show up."Our shareholders' meeting can proceed as planned. If they arrive, they will, but let's continue discussing Mr. Marcus's matters for now." It was difficult to confirm Thomas's attendance or whereabouts in advance, soshe chose her words carefully, leaving some things unsaid. Marcus was about to respond when he faintly heard some arguing in thehallway."I swear, do you have no eyes? Do you have any idea how expensive these shoes are? You couldn't even afford to buy them if I sold you!"Thomas watched the scene u
CHAPTER 237
"You're here for the first time, so I have to make sure we meet properly. As for that mysterious friend, who knows, maybe we both know them." As he said this, he was almost certain that this woman had brought Thomasalong. He felt a bit nervous inside; it seemed she had quite the influence to get that guy, who wanted nothing to do with anything, to come here. It must have taken some effort. He turned to study her face, trying to figure out what was going on, but he knew he couldn't read her mind. He had no idea what method she used to summon him."The start time is approaching, and it lookslike people are trickling in outside. I'll take a seat now; feel free to join me whenever you like." This felt a bit like she was taking charge, and the secretary beside her looked a bitanxious. Samuel thought to himself, "This is interesting." The strong presence she exuded was something he hadn't noticed before.Sure enough, he saw Marcus leisurely taking his seat. Even though he was just next t
CHAPTER 236
Marcus arrived at the company once again and noticed that there were noticeably more people than there had been just a couple of days ago. It seemed that the upcoming shareholders' meeting was drawing everyone in. He heard that the chairman had confirmedattendance, and the meeting was set to start at 11:00 AM. With only an hour to go, the shareholders who had caught wind of the news were already gathering. Marcus raised an eyebrow at this development. It appeared that this woman had managed to maintain a strong grip on the company in his absence.Originally, she had acquired Veritas Group's shares, making her the largest shareholder, with Marcus in second place. Now that he had returned, her position as the second shareholder was firmly secured."Mr. Marcus, I sent the relevant list to your email last night. Did you receive it?"The secretary appeared early in the morning, and Nathan noticed the slight dark circles under her eyes. She hadn't seemed to work late the night before."I r
