Chapter 566
Ethan wiped his hands with a warm towel. "I've said it before, Mr. Jent. In front of Madelyn, I'll address
you as my father-in-law. We're family, after all. What I'm doing is for your own good. The Azure
Corporation becoming part of the Arnold Corporation will be a win-win situation for both of us, after all.
"Currently, Azure Corporation has an annual profit of around 50 million. Under Arnold Corporation, its
estimated annual revenue would be at least three billion. Three billion is a minor sum for Arnold
Corporation, hardly worth mentioning. Moreover, Arnold Corporation will not interfere with Azure
Corporation's decision-making unless necessary. Mr. Jent, you'll still hold the same position, but the
role of CEO will be replaced by someone else."
Hayson's temples pulsed with veins, anger flaring in his eyes. However, he still maintained a calm
facade with a smile. "Mr. Arnold, the company's performance under Zach's leadership over these years
has been evident to all the employees. If there's a sudden change in leadership, the projects under his
purview will..."
Ethan said, "Mr. Jent, there's no need to worry about these things. I'll arrange for a smooth transition.
Of course, if you have trusted individuals, they can also be involved.
"Oh, yeah. I heard Azure Corporation has had some financial difficulties lately, and SilverLinc Bank has
been delaying the disbursement of funds. It seems the heir you've been grooming may still need some
improvement in terms of competence. It would be prudent to remove the individual responsible for
causing a company-wide crisis, to prevent them from causing even worse trouble later on."
Ethan's gaze turned casually to Hayson. A faint smile played on his lips with a calm demeanor. "Mr.
Jent, after all this talk, I believe you understand my intentions. Once this contract is signed, Arnold
Corporation won't reclaim a solitary cent of the benefits we've provided to Azure Corporation. We'll
even cut you a check to keep the project going. Otherwise, you'd miss my wedding with Madelyn."
If the development of the Alma property did not proceed according to the expected schedule, it would
result in a tenfold penalty. If they could not pay it, Hayson would also face imprisonment.
Without waiting for Hayson to respond, Ethan stood up and fixed his gaze on him before speaking, "I'll
leave the contract here for you to review the terms. If you have any doubts, we can discuss them
anytime. You have half a day to think about it. We will not grant any extensions after the deadline."
After saying that, Ethan left immediately, and Leyton left the contract on the table. Hayson kicked the
table in front of him after a silent half-minute.
The waitress who was originally going to come in to clean the room stood still upon seeing this. Zach,
who was walking toward the door, patted her shoulder. "You can leave now, but keep this quiet."
The waitress stuttered, "O-Okay, sir."
The waitress hurriedly left the room before getting a chance to get a clear look at Zach's appearance.
"Ethan just wants to dismiss me from my position. Father, there's no need to get so angry," Zach
poured a cup of tea, walked over to the sofa, and held it up.
Hayson snorted and took the teacup. "You heard everything?"
Zach nodded, "He simply can't stand me being in the Azure Corporation because he sees me as a
threat. After all, because of Madelyn..."
It seemed the things Ethan had investigated had really upset him to the point of losing his composure.
However, for Zach, this was all just the beginning.novelbin
Hayson's mood improved somewhat after taking a sip of tea. "Have you thought about going abroad
with Ms. Young? Now is the perfect opportunity for you to leave and lay low for a while."
Zach stood to the side, chuckling, "Father, you seem to be taking the words of a young girl seriously.
Our alliance with YTCorp is merely a public display of opposition to Arnold Corporation. You saw what
happened at the engagement banquet. The timing isn't right for us to join forces with the Young family."
Hayson glanced at him. "Are you implying that you have your own matters to attend to?"
Zach replied, "Recently, there have been some issues in Hallsmouth that I need to handle."
"That's fine. Once we resolve the company's issues, I'll find a way to get you back into the company.
For now, take a good rest."
"Okay, Father."
