Chapter 245
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 245<\/p>\n
The shareholders\u2019 meeting of the Shaw Group was a big event. Not only were the shareholders and senior executives of the group closely related to the meeting, but people from all walks of life were looking forward to it.<\/p>\n
If the Shaw Group was a colossus, then Caden was the emperor standing at the top and looked down on all living beings.<\/p>\n
There was nothing in this world that could make people sigh more than seeing a once unattainable emperor be beaten down and turn into nothing.<\/p>\n
The Shaw Group.<\/p>\n
In the conference room.<\/p>\n
Many of the shareholders arrived early and sat upright at the round table.<\/p>\n
After some noise, one of the shareholders, Darby Reed stood up and said, \u201cHello, Master Shaw.\u201d Darby was sophisticated. He smiled and welcomed Hale. His gaze lingered on the young man beside Hale for a few seconds. \u201cMaster Shaw, this is your grandson, isn\u2019t it? Last time on your birthday, I looked from afar and found he was so extraordinary.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m so lucky to be close to you today. It\u2019s my honor to meet him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Darby\u2019s tactfulness was known to all in the business circles.<\/p>\n
Kern looked at Darby\u2019s hand, lowered his eyes and smiled faintly. He reached out to hold it, but quickly let it go.<\/p>\n
Darby was shocked. But soon he blinked. A genial smile appeared on his face again, and he still socialized with Kern.<\/p>\n
Kern frowned slightly to hide a trace of boredom in his eyes.<\/p>\n
He had heard of Darby.<\/p>\n
To put it mildly, he was tactful. But he was a two-sided man who bent with the wind.<\/p>\n
Three years ago, Darby helped Caden expel Hale from the Shaw Group.<\/p>\n
Three years later, for the sake of profit, Darby would still change his mind \u2026 Darby took side of Hale in private. Hale had made an offer that he would not refuse. Once it was fulfilled, his career would be brighter.<\/p>\n
Such a person was unfaithful, the same as the slave with three surnames in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. How could Kern try to get well along with him?<\/p>\n
It was just a matter of face.<\/p>\n
After exchanging greetings, Hale suddenly knitted his eyebrows. \u201cWhat time is it?\u201d He coughed twice before asking Sam behind him.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nine fifty-nine, Master Shaw.\u201d<\/p>\n
At ten o\u2019clock, the meeting of the shareholders started.<\/p>\n
Hale snorted, \u201cIf he doesn\u2019t show up on time, it will be considered as a waiver.\u201d<\/p>\n
He wanted to deprive Caden of everything, including the Shaw Group and the woman\u2019s hatred!<\/p>\n
\u201cDarby, announce it. Caden is late and abstains from voting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hale said, showing no mercy though Caden was his grandson.<\/p>\n
Darby hadn\u2019t said anything.<\/p>\n
The door to the office was suddenly open.<\/p>\n
His cold voice was flat, but others\u2019 hearts tightened. \u201cI\u2019m not late, am I?\u201d Although it was a question, it didn\u2019t sound like one. Ignoring the people around, the man, in a custom-made suit, walked towards the front of the conference table.<\/p>\n
Master Shaw was sitting on the chair.<\/p>\n
Without any instructions, Ladd had already pulled out an armchair, side by side with Hale who was sitting in the main seat. And then he pulled the chair for his boss to sit.<\/p>\n
Everyone in the meeting room saw that the tall and cold man with a strong aura was sitting next to Hale without any courtesy.<\/p>\n
At that moment, he gave people a feeling that he was sitting in the main seat, while Hale, who was sitting in the center, was inferior.<\/p>\n
Kern looked over and smiled strangely \u2026 Grace, look! The person you loved and hated so much didn\u2019t even know that his last hour had come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1450","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
