Norman was rendered speechless with a sullen look. At that moment, he had no words to defend
himself.
James looked at Norman indifferently and said, “Mr. Chairman, at this point, the best and only way is to
bring your wife and apologize to Wickam Group.”
No one opposed the suggestion – Norman had even lost support from those who used to side with him.
During times like this, each one’s benefits came above everything else. Now that their benefits were at
risk, Norman was nothing but a piece of trash.
True enough, a shareholder who was once Norman’s ally spoke up coldly. “We wouldn’t be bothered if
the opponent was an insignificant business, but it’s Wickam Group, our main collaboration partner and
income source. If we lost them as a business partner, given the current situation, who else would dare

Group!”
Another person nodded in agreement. “He’s right. Although Darcey Group and Wickam Group are at
daggers drawn too, Darcey Group has no business dealings with us. Neither will Tabor Group possibly
collaborate with us. What other options do you have if you refuse to apologize to Wickam Group?”
Norman’s face darkened even more. Of course, he knew that was the best solution now, but he had
already spat those harsh words. It would be humiliating if he went to apologize to the Wickams now!
Norman became more frustrated the more he thought about it. To make things worse, he couldn’t retort
to the shareholders as he realized his mistakes too. Back then, he had not expected the Wickams to
get back at him in the dark…
D*mn it!
Norman was exasperated being caught between a rock and a hard place.
“Mr. Chairman, we have yet to get a response from you. Is it because you’re ashamed to apologize to
the Wickams?” Jessie continued pinning Norman down.
Finally, a shareholder who still chose to bootlick Norman said, “Miss Green, don’t you think you’re
being too aggressive?”
Jessie snorted. “I’m aggressive?”
The shareholder replied, “Am I wrong? Mr. Chairman can’t possibly hope to sabotage the company. Put
yourself in his shoes, would you be willing to lay down and surrender to the opponent?”
Norman’s expression finally softened slightly, but James smiled and commented, “We are a company
and a team. We should discuss things among ourselves before making any moves. Otherwise, the
purpose of setting up a company will be defeated. It’s useless to explain it away – one has to bear the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmconsequences of his actions. Mr. Chairman, do you think there’s any problem with this principle?”
At once, the sulky look restored on Norman’s face, and it was even more ghastly than before.
“Mr. Chairman, you have been remaining silent since just now. Do you have any other comments?”
Jessie glanced at Norman coldly. In fact, all the shareholders were annoyed at the family’s reckless
actions this time, but due to Norman’s identity, they didn’t fall out with him directly.
Norman took a deep breath and finally uttered, “Regarding the incident this time, I should have been
more prudent. However, I hope you can understand my situation. After all, I’m a well-known
businessman, yet the Wickams did such deeds to my daughter. If you were the parents, you couldn’t
just let it go either, could you?”
Norman made an emotional appeal. But alas, his family affair was none of the shareholders’ business,
so they naturally wouldn’t empathize with him.
