Chapter 2676
As someone experienced in relationships, Shaun had a feeling that if
Chester insisted on being involved with Eliza’s matter, Chester might one
day be in great trouble.
Late at night, Shaun took Chester, who was quite drunk, into the car. Then,
he reminded Ken, “Send him back, but drive slowly.”
“Thankyou, Young Master Hill.” Ken nodded. Only after Shaun left did he
turn around to look at Chester, whose face was flushed red from the
alcohol.
He rarely saw Chester drink so much. It was probably because being in jail
for three months was too depressing.
“Young Master Jewell, where would you like to head back to?” Ken asked,
“The Jewell family’s residence, the villa, or the apartment?”
Chester opened his hazy eyes. “Go... Go to Eliza. I have something to... ask
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther.”
Ken was speechless.
‘You’re really drunk.’
After some thought, Ken sent Chester back to the villa.
The next day, Chester was woken up by a call from his assistant. “President Jewell, a few directors came to your
office this morning, and Director Carlson was the one who led them.”
“Alright. I got it. I’ll come right away.”
Chester chose a black suit from the wardrobe, quickly dressed himself neatly, and then left the house.
When he arrived, the directors already had several cups of coffee. They were all fuming as they waited.
“What time is it now? Is this how Chester serves as a president? Well, he has long since been unqualified to be the
president.” The speaker was Finn’s father, Director Carlson.
“It looks like Finn wasn’t taught a proper lesson yesterday.” Chester pushed the door open. In a trim-fitting suit, he
exuded a mature and composed presence.
Following behind him were several sturdy bodyguards.
The few directors’ expressions shifted a little. At the thought that his wife was missing, Finn immediately became
embarrassed. “Chester, don’t be too arrogant. This company doesn’t belong to you alone.”
“Of course, it doesn’t belong to me alone. Otherwise, all of you wouldn’t have earned so much money since I got
this position. Look at yourselves. You’re getting fatter and fatter with each year. Watch out for fatty liver disease.”
Chester sat opposite the few of them and leaned into the couch, his legs crossed. The air of authority around him
made the others afraid to breathe.
“You’ve gone too far, Chester.” One of the top three shareholders of the company, Director Sutton, pulled a long
face. “The company is in this horrible situation now because for one, your reputation has greatly affected the whole
company, and secondly, the lower-level management is full of problems. Now that those issues have been exposed,
and many competitors are joining the market, the company will be at stake if the issue isn’t dealt with properly.”
“That is why I’ve come up with a solution.” Chester said indifferently, “I’ll publically resign from my position as
president. After that, I’ll have Kingsley take over the role while I stay behind the scenes and manage things. Isn’t
this the best explanation to the public?”
“Haven’t you hatched such a brilliant plot? Everyone knows that Kingsley works under you,” Director Carlson said in
a huff.
“Are you not satisfied with that?” Chester shot a look at Ken. “Communicate
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwith
Director Carlson and make him satisfied.” Ken strode toward Director
Carlson. Ken’s sturdy figure left the others gasping for air.
“Wait a minute. Let’s talk it out.” Director Sutton leaped to his feet and
promptly stopped Ken before he said in embarrassment, “Director Carlson
didn’t say he’s dissatisfied. In fact, we still trust you, but accidents do
happen.”
“What do you mean?” Chester tapped his fingers on his thigh.
Director Sutton let out a light cough, feeling embarrassed. Only after filling
the cup with coffee did he say, “Chester, you just came back yesterday, so
you might not have noticed the changes in the company’s shareholders.”
“...Say it.” Chester’s eyes slowly darkened.
Director Sharpe said, “When you were in jail, someone short sold the
company’s shares. A few timid shareholders have sold off their shares, so
there have been changes to the shareholders.”
“Who did they sell the shares to?” Chester squinted his eyes.
