A man in a sult and glasses stepped forward with sneer. “Let me tell you just how impressive Mr. Rhodes is he has complete control over Rhodes Corporation now, and he’s as powerful as any other head of the prominent family in Jayrodale.”
Another executive rushed forward to brown–nose Michael, looking down at Andrew with contempt. “Young man, in this business, Ignorance is a sin. The fact that you don’t know how powerful Mr. Rhodes is just proves you’re a small fry who can’t see beyond your own limited view–you’re less than an insect in his eyes.”
Marcus, who had been standing quietly in the back, stepped forward to mediate. “Sir, it’s time for the noou meeting, and Ms. Rhodes is here today. Perhaps we should head up.”
Michael scoffed. “Ah, right, I forgot Lauren was coming to the company today. Fine, let’s meet
blade her, but remember what I said earlier–choose your sides carefully. I don’t want my catching any foolish bystanders in the crossfire.
After that, Michael swept his threatening gaze across the executives, causing them all to bow their heads in submission.
“Don’t worry, sir, we’re forever your followers.”
“Mr. Rhodes, you’re the future leader of this company–we’d be fools not to know who to follow. We old–timers will always be loyal to you, the rightful heir!”

Michael laughed triumphantly and glanced at Andrew with amusement. “See that, This is the respect and treatment I command in the company now. While your precious Lauren is already yesterday’s news, relegated to the sidelines.”
“You seem capable enough–why not leave Lauren and work for me instead? I might even make you a team leader with a five–figure monthly salary,” Michael taunted, causing his suckups to burst into mocking laughter.
“So you really did steal Ms. Rhodes’s CEO position?” Andrew asked coldly.
Michael looked at Andrew condescendingly. “That’s right, I stole it. I wanted to show her that Rhodes Corporation belongs to me. She’s just a woman. She’ll eventually marry off and be someone else’s problem.”
Andrew nodded slowly. “Good, since you’ve admitted it, let me be clear–you won’t be CEO for long, you piece of trash. I’ll help Ms. Rhodes take back what’s rightfully hers, and this time, Michael, I’ll put you in your place.”
Andrew’s words triggered another round of laughter from Michael and his entourage, followed by a chorus of jeers.
“You? Help Lauren take back the CEO position from me? Who do you think you are, Andrew? Aren’t you overestimating yourself?”

“What an idiot! He doesn’t know his limits, spouting such nonsense without considering his own capabilities.”
“Come on, Michael, don’t waste your time with this hotheaded kid–it’s beneath you. Why bother letting a nobody get to you when you can just crush him?”
