Chapter 246
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 246<\/p>\n
At the round table, everyone looked wired.<\/p>\n
Caden\u2019s appearance did not change.<\/p>\n
But no matter how well he hid it, people noticed his pale face.<\/p>\n
Some people got that these ten days was difficult for Caden.<\/p>\n
Well, within ten days, everything had changed dramatically.<\/p>\n
Inside, the Shaw Group was in a crisis.<\/p>\n
He abandoned his wife and persecuted the innocent daughter of the James family.<\/p>\n
Caden, a man who had been like a god, was pushed down from the altar.<\/p>\n
Hale finally said, \u201cLet me ask you one last time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before Hale finished his words.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t,\u201d the man beside Hale said firmly,<\/p>\n
\u201cI know what you want to ask.\u201d<\/p>\n
There was a touch of anger slid past Hale\u2019s dark eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy answer is the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
The same!<\/p>\n
He said his answer was the same!<\/p>\n
Hale gritted his teeth tightly!<\/p>\n
He was extremely furious as he waited for his grandson beside him.<\/p>\n
The cane in his hand was knocked heavily on the ground, and he was so mad that he laughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cGood! As you wish!\u201d<\/p>\n
He called out to everyone, \u201cYou are all clear about the purpose of this shareholders\u2019 meeting of the Shaw Group. I won\u2019t beat around the bush anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
His pointed at Caden with his finger.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, let\u2019s talk about my grandson!\u201d<\/p>\n
At the round table, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, the liquidation had begun.<\/p>\n
Hale waved his hand, and Sam came forward to hand him a paper bag. Hale placed it on the table and listed Caden\u2019s three problems.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are callous for ruining the reputation of the Shaw Group.<\/p>\n
You are unjust for ruining the reputation of the Shaws, which has been maintained for generations.<\/p>\n
You are incompetent for the crisis that the group is facing.<\/p>\n
The group can\u2019t be handed over to someone as callous, unjust, and incompetent as you!\u201d<\/p>\n
Hale scolded, \u201cYou still have a chance to resign.\u201d<\/p>\n
This was Hale\u2019s attitude.<\/p>\n
Everyone\u2019s gaze was focused on the cold and arrogant man who had been expressionless for a long time.<\/p>\n
Kern would never be so stupid as to highlight his presence at this moment.<\/p>\n
In this round, he sat and watched them fight with indescribable joy in his eyes.<\/p>\n
Grandpa and grandson fought back and forth. The fiercer they fought, the better it was.<\/p>\n
The corner of his eyes swept out of the meeting room. There was a sneaky figure holding a camera. Kern lowered his eyelids without saying anything.<\/p>\n
It was sure that the headlines tomorrow would be the inside story of the Shaw Group meeting. A fierce battle between the grandpa and the grandson of the Shaws.<\/p>\n
Everyone\u2019s gaze fell on the leading man.<\/p>\n
The man who hadn\u2019t moved all this time snapped his fingers, and his assistant, the strong man behind him, also handed him a file bag.<\/p>\n
His gaze swept across everyone\u2019s faces calmly before he said indifferently,<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone\u2019s time is precious. Why do we waste it talking nonsense?<\/p>\n
Since the shareholders\u2019 meeting concerns the immunity and appointment of the head of the Shaw Group,\u201d<\/p>\n
He put his hands on his chin, looked ahead, and said indifferently,<\/p>\n
\u201cI suggest we vote.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hale was so angry that he laughed!<\/p>\n
Now, it was clear that Caden would be kicked out. \u201cVote? Okay,\u201d Hale sneered. He knew how arrogant his grandson was, but he didn\u2019t know Caden\u2019s blind confidence.<\/p>\n
Two of them agreed to vote.<\/p>\n
And the others would not jump out and refute it.<\/p>\n
Sure enough, Caden was at a disadvantage after a round of voting.<\/p>\n
The smile at the corner of Kern\u2019s mouth became more obvious, and the gaze he fixed on Caden\u2019s face was full of mock.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the vote result,\u201d Hale said, \u201cWhat else do you want to say now?\u201d<\/p>\n
When Caden expanded the business in the past three years, he did not rearrange the new territories in time. In addition, Hale had been secretly manipulating. His dominant stake had been diluted to only two thirds in these three years.<\/p>\n
In addition to the votes of the other shareholders, the shares in Hale\u2019s hands had already gained the upper hand.<\/p>\n
After announcing the final shares ratio, many people seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. They were afraid that if they failed to beat him down, they would suffer instead.<\/p>\n
The moment the result was announced, many shareholders looked at the once lofty man with ridicule. That man was once unattainable and indescribably noble. Right now, they could only see that the man\u2019s complexion had turned even more pale.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince the voting result has come out, then, Caden, please resign from the CEO of the Shaw Group.\u201d Someone struck him when he was down. After the result was announced, he stood up excitedly and berated Caden, \u201cPlease take your personal belongings and leave the company immediately. Your cooperation will be appreciated, otherwise, the security guard will send you away.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho said that?\u201d<\/p>\n
When the crowd was in the excitement, a voice suddenly sounded in the meeting room.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t voted yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Caden was still sitting there.<\/p>\n
Sam walked to the door of the meeting room and suddenly returned. He gritted his teeth and scolded,<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s your grandfather! How could you sit still?\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, he chased after Kern without turning back.<\/p>\n
In the meeting room, the crowd gradually dispersed.<\/p>\n
Caden was still sitting upright on his chair. Ladd shouted, \u201cBoss, everyone\u2019s gone.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, the man sitting on the chair didn\u2019t seem to have heard it.<\/p>\n
\u201cLadd, leave me alone,\u201d he ordered calmly.<\/p>\n
Everyone thought that Caden was heartless, but no one spotted that the hand on his knee trembled slightly.<\/p>\n
He did not explain to Sam. Just as he was about to stand up and take Hale to the hospital, his eyes suddenly darkened.<\/p>\n
The phone rang at the right time.<\/p>\n
He picked up the phone.<\/p>\n
On the other end of the phone, Humbert asked, \u201cIs it over?\u201d<\/p>\n
The man said indifferently, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you going to do next?\u201d<\/p>\n
Though he turned defeat into victory in the meeting, the calamity of the Shaw Group had had not finished.<\/p>\n
There were still a lot of things to deal with.<\/p>\n
The share price of the group was still plummeting.<\/p>\n
Caden was still notorious.<\/p>\n
All of this required a smart and capable group leader to deal with one by one.<\/p>\n
\u201cSleep.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSleep …\u201d Humbert did not have the time to think and answer. The next moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. \u201cWhat did you say? Sleep? At this time?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, sleep. I want to rest.\u201d On the other side of the phone, the man\u2019s face was incomparably cold and firm. \u201cI\u2019m too tired, I need to rest.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Humbert chuckled,<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s rare. Caden admitted that he is tired!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I\u2019m so tired.\u201d At this moment, his eyes had already regained their clarity. \u201cWell, I have to admit that I am not as young as before.\u201d He was so tired that his body couldn\u2019t hold on anymore. This time, he was blind for a short minute. What about the next time?<\/p>\n
He only knew that if his body fell before his yearning, he would no longer be able to accompany that woman.<\/p>\n
He still yearned to comb her hair, bathing in the sunset.<\/p>\n
When Humbert heard that he said this seriously, a big laugh echoed in his chest, \u201cAlright, have a sleep. I\u2019ll help you with the rest.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1451","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1451","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=1451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
