Chapter 267 Relinquish Your Title
Oscar was deep in thought. On one hand, he was quite fond of Abel’s character. Abel had a moralcompass, unlike Landen and his wife. On the other hand, letting him use the company fund was out ofthe picture. The company’s interest came before Emmeline’s.
Adam stood up. “Grandpa, if Abel insists on putting the entire Ryker Group at risk, you should revokehis title as the CEO. He isn’t acting like one anyway.”
“Adam!” Abel interjected. “This is not a reckless act. My overseas projects are lucrative enough to earn500 million dollars in six months. Not to mention my other projects too.”
“Do you have proof?”
“Go check the records in the office, Adam. Why would I fake that?”
Julianna decided to speak up. “Either way, you can only reassure everyone here if you’re willing torelinquish your position.”
“Julianna! You’re just trying to force Abel to step down here,” said Rosaline.
“Blame your son’s incompetence. How can he be the company’s CEO when he’s willing to risk it all fora woman.”
“And someone ungrateful who is willing to let the mother of his son die is better as a CEO?”
“I can’t believe Emmeline had such disgusting in-laws,” uttered Rosaline sarcastically.
“Enough!” Oscar tapped with his walking staff. “I will give Abel a chance. Write me a military ordernow.”
Adam, Julianna, and Landen could only grit their teeth.
“If Abel can repay 300 million dollars in time, he will continue working as the CEO. After all, I’mimpressed by his performance so far. Failure to do so, however, will result in his expulsion. He will haveto surrender his title and his shares.”
“Thanks, Grandpa.” Abel nodded. “I’ll write you the military order now.”
“Bring us a pen and a piece of paper,” Oscar commanded his assistant.
Lewis and Rosaline were relieved to hear that. Meanwhile, Landen could only hope that Abel would failto procure those 300 million dollars.novelbin
After the military order was written, the whole debacle subsided. Right then, Adrien staggered into theroom. No one really cared if he would come anyway.
“W… What’s the occasion?” Adrien slurred, seemingly from alcohol.
Oscar didn’t like what he was seeing and retired into his room. The decision had been made. Theothers could iron out the details on their own. Landen and Julianna were dismayed to see Adrien in thisstate. While Lewis’s and Rosaline’s face was full of derision.
“Abel.” Adrien approached his brother. “I heard there’s a meeting. Is it over already?”
“It’s nothing of import. We are just borrowing 300 million dollars from the group.”
“300 million dollars?” Adrien almost jumped on his feet. “Abel, do you think you own the company now?You can’t borrow a large sum like this!”
