CHAPTER 406
David felt a sense of relief. Thomas seemed to understand the importance of accepting his role in the company, announcing that he was the prospective chairman. At last, he had come to terms with his identity. "Wow, look at you, so young and already a prospective chairman! I bet old Thomas would be thrilled to hear that. Come on, take a seat!" The group's demeanor was not overly direct; it was a more comfortable social interaction, though everyone knew it was all just surface-level politeness. "Tonight, we're just chatting about some minor matters, and it just so happens we're discussing your company's shareholders meeting. I'm curious about how you plan to handle it." Before he could even settle into his chair, someone brought up the topic, calling it a minor issue. He quickly revised his earlier assumption-this dinner was not going to be as simple as he thought. David observed Thomas' expression, which remained unchanged. That was already a significant improvement compared to h
CHAPTER 405
Ava looked around at the various vehicles, feeling a bit out of place. She had just spoken with the school, and her son was thrilled about their new home. The real estate agent stepped out, noticing her lost in thought. He worried that he hadn't provided good enough service and couldn't afford to mess things up."Ms. Ava, let's double-check everything here. If there are no issues, we can head out. If needed, we can always come back," he suggested. Ava glanced at him. "I'll check carefully; going back and forth is too much hassle." The moving company had really done a great job organizing everything. They had arrived early in the morning, and many items had already been packed up again, making things look quite efficient.However, the distance between the two houses was considerable, and making the trip back and forth had already taken up a good chunk of the day. Once everything was confirmed, they finally hit the road. Ava drove, following the moving company truck, with the real estat
CHAPTER 404
Old Mr. Blackwood wasn't surprised; he knew today would be a tough battle. He sat across from Thomas, picked up his cup, took a moment to smell the tea, and then slowly took a sip."Mmm, this is good tea," he said, savoring the flavor."I'm glad you like it," Thomas replied, signaling to Miss Hutton to step out. As she left, she closed the door behind her, leaving just the two of them in the room. After sipping tea for a while in silence, Thomas finally spoke up, but Old Mr. Blackwood wasn't planning to waste any more time."I hope we can make the most of this rare meeting today," Old Mr. Blackwood began, his tone surprisingly gentle."Clinton, as a younger generation, I shouldn't be the one to start. Why don't you share your thoughts at this shareholders' meeting? Let's discuss it openly so we can conclude.""Alright, since you've put it that way, I won't hold back. My plan is straightforward: I hope we can show each other some sincerity."The concept of sincerity was a bit vague; to
CHAPTER 403
As Old Mr. Blackwood entered the conference room and looked at the leadership team seated before him, he couldn't help but feel a wave of nostalgia. It had been about six months since helast saw them. Clinton thought that six months was too short, while Old Mr. Blackwood felt it was far too long."I've gathered everyone here today because of the shareholders' meeting at headquarters. You all know about it, right?"At this, the room erupted in chatter. They had always been under the thumb of headquarters, even if the oversight wasn't too strict. Still, discussing headquarters within the company had become something of a taboo, so bringing up the shareholders' meeting openly was quite unusual."Of course we know! You're back for the shareholders' meeting, so it must be temporary, right?"This comment was intriguing, leaving many wondering about its intent. A lot of eyes turned to Clinton, who managed to maintain his composure, hiding any signs of the humiliation he had once faced. Old
CHAPTER 402
Old Mr. Blackwood could still be a potential target. After the two of them meet, he would decide how to deal with Lucas."Let me just say, I'm prioritizing Old Mr. Blackwood for now. Miss Hutton, can you please get in touch with Old Mr. Blackwood and arrange our meeting as soon as possible? Let's try to wrap this up in the next day or two. Thanks for your hard work."After Thomas finished speaking, he glanced at the various managers. He wasn't familiar with the next steps and felt more like a figurehead here."Everyone, keep discussing for a bit. I'll step out for now." He took a stack of documents back to his office, needing to read through them carefully. He wanted to familiarize himself with the company's processes and the movements of each branch before the shareholders' meeting.Once the boss left, the atmosphere in the conference room lightened considerably.Miss Hutton looked at the pile of work on her desk and felt like she was just digging her own grave."Honestly, ever since
CHAPTER 401
"Dad, I know I've been too self-centered, thinking you meddle too much in my life. I wanted to break away from the company, but deep down, I hesitated and couldn't take that final step. Lucas has been pushing me to make a decision, and that's why..."He didn't want to bear this responsibility alone. Since he couldn't meet Lucas anyway, he decided to just push it aside.The moment he saw his dad's cold smirk, he realized he could no longer hide the truth. If he continued to do so, his fate would be worse than his older brother's."Fine, since Lucas is pressuring you like this, then you should choose Thomas," his dad said. Clinton quickly picked up on the implication in his father's words. He didn't use the plural "you all," but rather singled him out, insisting that he choose Thomas.Choosing Thomas was definitely not an option right now.The talks with Miss Hutton had already fallen through, and there was no way they could negotiate with him. Besides, Lucas wouldn't back down easily;
