Chapter 970
Mr. Haley of the EcoTraverse Group was a bystander for the most part, his eyes flitting from oneperson to another, a smirk of contempt etched in his eyes. The contract was due to expire in threeminutes, and the Raymond family was already planning to announce Dennis as the new president ofRaymond Corporation. Everyone was keen to make a good impression on Dennis, so they opened theconference room door and invited the executives waiting outside.
The meeting mirrored a previous one, with the same players present. However, the executives who hadpreviously supported lan were visibly exhausted after a four–day onslaught from Dennis and hissupporters.
Pearson stood up, his face lit up with a smile.
“Since we’re all here, I’d like to announce that the new president of Raymond Corporation is my father!”
The room erupted in applause. Supporters of Dennis stood up, clapping their hands enthusiastically.
Dennis‘ face was flushed with excitement. He had never dreamed that he would be able to topple lan.He looked at the agreement he had signed with Mr. Haley, his voice steady.
“Mr. Haley, you currently hold 20% of Raymond Corporation’s shares. As per our agreement, I will buythem at more than double the share price.”
Mr. Haley nodded, his gaze shifting involuntarily to the conference room door.
Dennis had invested heavily to acquire Mr. Haley’s shares. He had mortgaged his properties, investedall his cash, and even borrowed $200 million from the bank. A wave of cheers filled the room as peopletaunted lan, saying that his day of reckoning had come.novelbin
The executives who had sided with lan looked as if they were attending a funeral. They knew theywould all be fired once Dennis took the presidential seat. They had never expected lan to lose.
Dennis slapped the agreement with Mr. Haley, eager to exercise his power as president.
“We will be haying a three–hour meeting shortly to discuss the future of Raymond Corporation. I hopeeveryone will attend. However, before that, some of the executives should voluntarily step down tomake way for fresh blood.”
He smirked at the executives who had supported lan, his voice dripping with smugness.
“I’ve already chosen the replacements. At this age, being fired from Raymond Corporation means youprobably won’t find a good job elsewhere. You can only blame yourselves for trusting lan too much.”
Those who supported Dennis were rewarded with an additional $100,000 in annual bonuses.
The room was filled with cheers and groans. But amidst the celebration, the conference room dooropened.
The Raymond family members frowned. Everyone who was supposed to be there was present, so whocould interrupt the meeting?
Then, a man’s voice rang out calmly.
“I hope I’m not interrupting anything?”
lan stood at the doorway, flanked by several staff members from the shareholding trust company, somelawyers, and, closest to him, Jeff.
lan’s gaze swept over everyone in the room as he leisurely walked towards the main seat.
Dennis, sitting in the main seat, looked uncomfortable. How did lan get out?
Did the special investigation team not have any evidence yet, so they released him first?
But that shouldn’t be the case. Ian was the one who kidnapped Holden. If the team investigatedcarefully, they would indeed find some clues.
After all, the team members were top–notch investigators.
Dennis was momentarily confused, but remembering that the agreement had ended, a smile returnedto his face.
“lan, it’s good that you’re here. I can announce Raymond Corporation’s decisions in front of you.”
lan chuckled, and Jeff tried to push Dennis out of the seat.
This time, Dennis stood firm, refusing to budge.
“lan, this isn’t a place where you can throw your weight around.”
As soon as Dennis finished speaking, Mr. Haley stood up and, together with Jeff, pushed Dennis away.
Mr. Haley’s treatment of lan was nothing short of obsequious. He wiped the chair, mimicking Jeff’sactions from last time, and only after disinfecting the chair did he dare to gesture for lan to take a seat.
