Chapter 425
Michael grinned with confidence. “Lauren, I warned you before–If you just quietly played your role as Vice CEO, no one would bother you. But if you
challenge my authority as CEO, I’ll
show you who really runs this corporation.”
“Michael, do you really want to take it this far?” Lauren asked icily.
Michael’s eyes turned bloodshot as he remembered how Andrew had humiliated him in the past. “No, you’re wrong. This bastard is the one who took things too far, making my life hell. I won’t rest until I see him behind bars!
Edward sneered. “The police commissioner is an old friend of mine. With just one call from me, Donald will make sure to give Director Lloyd special treatment.”
Her
He emphasized “Director Lloyd” mockingly, dripping with sarcasm.
The executives continued their taunts. “Your 1% shareholding might save your life, but you won’t escape punishment entirely!”
Though Andrew’s director status was confirmed, Michael and Edward’s joint attack gave the executives new hope. They all joined in verbally attacking Andrew.
Marcus was speechless. He finally understood that Andrew’s 1% stake had given him the courage to speak out, but he had severely underestimated Michael’s influence as CEO.
“Andrew, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Show us everything you’ve got,” Michael smirked confidently.
“Even if they go through legal channels, I won’t let you touch Dr. Lloyd,” Lauren gritted out.” Anyone who dares touch him will lose their hands!”
Michael replied with disdain, “Lauren, stop trying to protect your pretty boy. The laws are beyond our company’s rules. Do you think your influence will change the outcome?”
Eunice leaned close to Lauren’s ear anxiously. “Miss, you should stop defending Andrew.”
Lauren was annoyed. “Are you also going against me?”
Eunice quickly waved her hands, saying, “No. I wouldn’t dare. Mrs. Rhodes is watching through the surveillance cameras.
Lauren cursed internally. She was not afraid of Michael but of Tiana, who currently ran things. in Jayrodale. If Tiana saw Andrew fail this first challenge, the ruthless mother would never give either of them another chance.
Just as Lauren
was about to make emergency calls to Marvin and Mark for backup,
Andrew spoke up casually. “Ms. Rhodes, let me ask you something–my 1% shareholding doesn’t carry much weight in your family’s corporation, right?”
Chapter 475.
“Dr. Lloyd, 1% of Rhodes Corporation isn’t cheap” Lauren explained with a bitter smile.
