Chapter 619
Ethan sat in the main seat without uttering a word.
Usually, his gaze alone was enough to scare one. But everyone was gutsy enough to tell him off today.
“Ethan, you’ve never let me down with your capabilities. That year, everyone agreed to the idea ofhanding the company over to you. And you didn’t disappoint us. You’ve been managing the companywell.
“But how could you make such a big mistake? It’s not only the share price, but our reputation andcompany have been ruined overnight. Our ancestors worked so hard to build them up. As thepresident, you should give us an answer to this.”
With a cold expression, Ethan said briefly yet confidently, “Wait.”
“Wait? Wait for what? Do you know how many people are waiting to see us fall to rock bottom? Andhow many people are biding their time to make things harder for us so that someone else can replaceus?
“Honestly speaking, even someone who doesn’t mingle around much in this industry is aware of howimportant the PR department is. It’s been a day, and what has Miller Group done? What have you doneas the president?
“You can wait, but we can’t. How about this? Since your wife is the cause of this, let’s hold a pressconference. Ask her to apologize to the victim and the public as our representative.”novelbin
As soon as Ethan heard this, he shot a cold stare at that person.
His voice was icy. “Apologize? Mr. Hopp, an apology should be made by someone who has donesomething wrong to convey their regret and make up for their mistake.
“My wife stood up for the right cause, and she’s innocent. But she’s suffering from backlash now. Thisis the first time I heard that the victim is supposed to apologize to the perpetrator.”
“Forget about the truth. Is Ms. Fordham really innocent? The victim had a fight with her before passingaway. When the victim was dead, Kelvin showed up at the crime scene too. We believe that he’sinnocent, but will the others believe the same?
“Ethan, people sometimes don’t care about the truth. They simply want to believe what they think istrue. Call Ms. Fordham out to make an apology.”
“I agree. It won’t hurt to make an apology.”
Everyone agreed to that. When they spoke enough of it, Ethan drank some coffee to wake himself up.
After hydrating his throat, he raised his head. “Have you guys said enough?”
Despite his soft volume, the weight in his tone was significant enough to cause a wave of immediateimpact.
The noisy people hushed instantly, and pin-drop silence dawned upon the place.
Like a school principal, he swept his gaze across all of them. “Instead of talking about whether my wifeshould apologize or not, I think you should give me an explanation.”
“What do you mean, Mr. Miller? What does this have to do with us? You and Ms. Fordham are thecause for this.”
Ethan smirked. “What does this have to do with you? Had it not been for this matter, I wouldn’t haveknown that there’s a rat in the senior management. He’s benefiting from both me and my opponent.”
Everyone began exchanging glances. Some of them dropped their gazes as they didn’t dare to look atEthan.
He slammed the table, and two people fell off their chairs immediately.
“Dear shareholders, are you guys mistaken? I gathered you here not to listen to your nonsense or giveyou any explanation. As long as I’m still sitting here, there won’t be a day where you’ll be in the positionto give me orders.”
Ethan’s grandfather transferred all of his shares to him after his grandmother passed away for unknownreasons.
Ethan only took some of it under his name. He transferred some of the shares to his confidants.
Even if someone revolted and took Ethan’s shares, no one could shake him off as the core of MillerGroup.
Obviously, some of the shareholders didn’t know that Ethan and his grandfather had a backup plan.
Now that the topic has come this far, Gary Miller-Ethan’s uncle-said, “It’s wrong of you to say that,Ethan. You’re the president. We can’t interfere with how you usually manage the company.
“But the company’s status is shaken because of you. As the shareholders, we have the right to suggesta vote.”
He glanced at Ethan’s expression and gulped before continuing, “You brought this to the company andaren’t going to save it. You’re also turning a deaf ear to our opinions.
“As a shareholder as well as one of the Millers, I can’t let you have it your way anymore. So, I proposeto dismiss you from your position as the president.”
