NovelEnglishgreedy and asked for exorbitant compensation.
They were blinded by greed.
Although the Charrington Group could afford to pay the compensation amount the families asked for, the group
could not just give in to unreasonable requests. If they did, they would be inviting more people to scam the
Charrington Group in the future.
Moreover, someone was clearly instigating this and blowing things out of proportion.
"What do you suggest | do?" asked David with a grim face.
Geoffrey sat up straight and said matter-of-factly, "You should, of course, compensate the families according to
their requests and issue an apology online."
David's eyes were deadpan. With a cold voice, he asked, "Do all the shareholders agree to the suggestion of Mr.
Charrington, the general manager?" When Geoffrey heard David mention his title, his facial expression turned
ugly instantly. He was the general manager of the Charrington Group.
However, he hated others mentioning his title because it was his mark of shame.
A small shareholder spoke up. "Mr. Charrington, | think your father’s suggestion is feasible. Now that the stock
price is dropping, we have to quickly stop the public from discussing this issue."
A few major shareholders seconded this opinion.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDexter Randall, one of the major shareholders, argued, "We can’t resolve the issue like that. If we apologize,
won't it prove that the Charrington Group is a black company just like what the netizens say? We should let the
legal department settle it.
We'll compensate accordingly."
Someone retorted, "Mr. Randall, you're a major shareholder of the company. Of course, you're not afraid. You're
rich, but small shareholders like us aren't as wealthy as you. The stock price is dropping now." Dexter replied
angrily, "Your suggestions will only negatively affect the company in the long run. The workers’ families are
obviously being greedy."
Edward Price, another shareholder, voiced his opinion. "I agree with Mr. Randall. If we pay the lady whatever she
wants, the others will follow suit and ask for more."
Johan Quaid said, "I think a public apology is feasible. We have to resolve this matter immediately and bring the
stock price up. We're wasting money and resources by not resuming the Hillside Resort project as soon as
possible. We will risk delaying its completion too."
Johan was one of Polly’s distant relatives. He had always been a firm supporter of Geoffrey.
David sat at the head of the table with a cold expression. He listened to who these shareholders sided. He
planned to use this opportunity to get rid of Geoffrey's men.
The shareholders had different opinions on this matter and kept arguing. David interrupted their argument and
said, "Are you done arguing?"
Even though he didn’t raise his voice, his tone was intimidating. Everyone in the meeting room instantly fell
silent. They got carried away in bickering and forgot about David.
