Andrew's tone was calm yet sharp. "I want to discuss how you blatantly disobeyed the CEO's orders and what consequences you should face for it." Jay's eyes widened in shock before he snapped in fury. "Andrew, stop acting like you have real authority! Do you think I'm scared of you?" Andrew did not waste targuing his face remained cold as he delivered a brutal slap. Jay did not even have tto grunt before blood gushed out from his mouth, and he was sent flying. The moment he hit the ground, he passed out cold.
The effect was immediate-several of Michael's lackeys, who had been acting tough just moments ago, shut their mouths tight. One by one, they lowered their heads and kept quiet, suddenly remembering how to behave. Andrew flexed his wrist like he had just swatted away an inconvenience. Then, as if nothing had happened, he said, "Someone, take Mr. Brown to the infirmary." He added casually, "Since he got injured on the job, the company will cover his medical expenses." 'Injured on the job? Are you kidding me?' Michael and his lackeys were in disbelief at Andrew's audacity.
Lauren stood there speechless for a moment, stunned by Andrew's ruthlessness. Nonetheless, desperate times called for desperate measures, and she was not about to object to his methods.
Andrew quickly refocused and addressed the room. "Let's not forget-Mrs. Rhodes has officially handed over authority to Ms. Rhodes and me." Andrew glanced at the others, his voice calm but firm. "Cooperate, and everything will run smoothly. Once the company is back on track, everyone gets paid. But if anyone wants to be a troublemaker and play games with me, just take a good look at what happened to Jay." No one dared to speak.

Lauren continued, "Now, the biggest issue we're facing is the online attacks against our company. Mr. Chapman, I'm putting you in charge of handling this. Whether it takes money, influencers, or PR campaigns, do whatever it takes to réstore our company's public image as soon as possible." Marcus nodded. "Rest assured, I'll take care of it." Michael's face darkened as he snapped, "Mr. Chapman, watch your words! The acting CEO right now is Mrs. Rhodes, not anyone else." Marcus remained unfazed. "I don't
see anything wrong with what I said. With Ms. Rhodes and Mr. Lloydm working together, saving this CS only a matter of timeSo, let's be honest-if anyone deserves to take over Rhodes Corporation in the future, it's Ms. Rhodes." Michael's expression twisted in anger. "You-" Andrew cut him off, pointing at him. "Mr. Rhodes, you're drivingsomewhere later." Michael's face turned beet red. "What did you just say? You wantto be your driver?"
Andrew shrugged. "Is there a problem? Mrs. Rhodes gave mem authority so if I tell you to drive, then you drive."
The moment he heard Tiana's name, He Michael could not argue anymore. clenched his jaw and hissed, "Fine, I'll drive. But my skills are terrible—if I drive us off a cliff, don't blme." Andrew let out a chuckle. "As long as you go down with me, I won't complain."
