NovelEnglishThe shareholders' meeting of the Shaw Group was a big event. Not only were the shareholders and senior executives of the group closely related to the meeting, but people from all walks of life were looking forward to it.
If the Shaw Group was a colossus, then Caden was the emperor standing at the top and looked down on all living beings.
There was nothing in this world that could make people sigh more than seeing a once unattainable emperor be beaten down and turn into nothing.
The Shaw Group.
In the conference room.
Many of the shareholders arrived early and sat upright at the round table.
After snoise, one of the shareholders, Darby Reed stood up and said, "Hello, Master Shaw." Darby was sophisticated. He smiled and welcomed Hale. His gaze lingered on the young man beside Hale for a few seconds. "Master Shaw, this is your grandson, isn't it? Last ton your birthday, I looked from afar and found he was so extraordinary.

Kern looked at Darby's hand, lowered his eyes and smiled faintly. He reached out to hold it, but quickly let it go. Darby was shocked. But soon he blinked. A genial smile appeared on his face again, and he still socialized with Kern.
Kern frowned slightly to hide a trace of boredom in his eyes.
He had heard of Darby.
To put it mildly, he was tactful. But he was a two-sided man who bent with the wind.
Three years ago, Darby helped Caden expel Hale from the Shaw Group.
Three years later, for the sake of profit, Darby would still change his mind... Darby took side of Hale in private. Hale had made an offer that he would not refuse. Once it was fulfilled, his career would be brighter.
Such a person was unfaithful, the sas the slave with three surnames in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. How could Kern try to get well along with him? It was just a matter of face.
After exchanging greetings, Hale suddenly knitted his eyebrows. "What tis it?" He coughed twice before asking Sam behind him.
"It's nine fifty-nine, Master Shaw." At ten o'clock, the meeting of the shareholders started.
Hale snorted, "If he doesn't show up on time, it will be considered as a waiver." Darby smiled and nodded, "You are right. How could him be late for the shareholder meeting? He is so arrogant. Besides, you are here holding the meeting." What he didn't speak out was that Caden took Hale for granted.
Kern didn't say a word, and his thin lips curved slightly... Caden was going to be nobody, but he still dared to put on airs.
The hand he placed on his knee tightly clenched into a fist ... Grace, when Caden lost everything, I wonder if you could still be so calm! The woman's face kept appearing in front of him.
He had always thought that Grace was calm like stagnant water, without any ripples...
But, no! That woman was also emotional. She could be excited, shout and sneer loudly! All of these were due to another man, instead of him, Kern.
The first the saw that woman becexcited, Kern was shocked... He thought that Grace was only a walking dead in a man's world.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, it turned out that there was a soul beneath it. She was alive but for that man! Even if she hated him deeply, it was caused by a surge of love! He wanted the tired, stagnant-water-like woman in his eyes to be alive for him once! He wanted to deprive Caden of everything, including the Shaw Group and the woman's hatred! "Darby, announce it. Caden is late and abstains from voting." Hale said, showing no mercy though Caden was his grandson.
Darby hadn't said anything.
The door to the office was suddenly open.
His cold voice was flat, but others' hearts tightened. "I'm not late, am I?" Although it was a questionat didn't sound like one. Ignoring the people around, the man, in a custom-made suit, walked towards the front of the conference table. Master Shaw was sitting on the chair.
Without any instructions, Ladd had already pulled out an armchair, side by side with Hale who was sitting in the main seat. And then he pulled the chair for his boss to sit. Everyone in the meeting room saw that the tall and cold man with a strong aura was sitting next to Hale without any courtesy.
At that moment, he gave people a feeling that he was sitting in the main seat, while Hale, who was sitting in the center, was inferior.
Kern looked over and smiled strangely ... Grace, look! The person you loved and hated so much didn't even know that his last hour had come. X
