Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 250 - 214: Meeting an Old Acquaintance Again

"Although the company’s performance has declined recently, President Hawthorne’s contributions to the company are obvious to all. The hotel industry, as well as the oil and energy sectors, were all initiated by President Hawthorne, bringing great benefits and prospects to the company. We cannot completely negate the benefits President Hawthorne has brought to the company just because of some current losses..."

"Vice President Cross makes a valid point; we cannot sentence a person to death based solely on the first-half performance."

"No matter what, I believe the company’s situation will surely improve once President Hawthorne returns..."

Amidst these opposing voices, Wade Hawthorne coughed lightly and said with pretended sincerity, "Since opinions are divided, let’s follow the principle of the minority submitting to the majority."

Wyatt Hawthorne sneered, "Big brother, I see you can’t wait to sit in that position!"

Having his intentions exposed, Wade Hawthorne angrily retorted, "Second brother, what nonsense are you spewing? This is a senior management meeting of the company. Is it meaningful to talk about irrelevant matters? Are all major company decisions made solely by me? It’s necessary to ask the shareholders here whether they agree."

He spoke righteously and shirked all responsibilities.

Wyatt Hawthorne glanced at Jason Hawthorne and saw his indifferent expression, not at all inclined to help. He couldn’t help but wonder: What is the fourth brother thinking? Could it be that he really doesn’t care about this position at all?

The voting began, and the results were unsurprising.

Jason Hawthorne maintained a tranquil expression all along. Even when he heard that the board’s vote resulted in the suspension of his position as executive director, he didn’t appear shocked.

It seemed as if he had anticipated it all along.

The happiest were Wade and Jasper Hawthorne, who almost couldn’t contain their triumphant laughter...

After the meeting, many quietly lamented for Jason Hawthorne, feeling he lost too unjustly, though he clearly should have fought for reason. But why...? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Wyatt Hawthorne couldn’t hold back any longer and followed Jason Hawthorne to his office, "Fourth brother, how can you still remain so calm? I see that big brother’s tail is almost raised to the sky! Once they secure the executive director position, I’m afraid we’ll never have good days again..."

He rambled on for a while, but it seemed as though Jason Hawthorne didn’t hear him.

"Second brother, what can I do? This was a board election. Even if I’m unwilling, I have no choice but to accept it. For now, I can only wait for a suitable opportunity to make a comeback."

"Fourth brother, it’s good that you have that mindset. After all, the company developed so robustly under your management. It’s unbearable to hand it over just like that."

"Second brother is right; one must strive to some extent."

Upon leaving Jason Hawthorne’s office, Wyatt Hawthorne still felt something was amiss, wondering if the fourth brother was just waiting for the right moment to strike back?

Honestly, watching the shareholders line up behind Big Brother is frustrating, but he hid his intentions too well.

Forget it! He wouldn’t involve himself in the struggle between Big Brother and the fourth brother. Right now, the most important thing is to promote the marriage between Fifth Young Master Xavier Jonah and his daughter, Vivian.

Once his daughter marries into the Xavier Family, he would have much more leverage in front of his father!

Wade and Jasper Hawthorne were in their office, celebrating with champagne.

"Dad, today’s battle was a brilliant victory! You didn’t see the aggrieved look on Uncle’s face; it was so damn satisfying!"

"Indeed! Today was truly refreshing! The fourth brother probably didn’t anticipate this."

Wade Hawthorne wore a proud expression, almost as if he could announce it to the world with a loudspeaker...

Jasper Hawthorne suddenly said, "Dad, do you think Uncle might have some tricks up his sleeve?"

Wade Hawthorne’s expression darkened, "Keep a close eye on him during this period; we can’t afford any mistakes. We must secure the opportunity we’ve gained with great difficulty."

Jasper Hawthorne nodded, "Yes, sir, I understand."

After Wyatt Hawthorne left, Mason Cross came in, "BOSS, the elder brother is inquiring about that mysterious share. We..."

Jason Hawthorne’s eyes held a deep and inscrutable smile, "Let them investigate if they want!"

Mason Cross hesitated for a few seconds, "But..."

Jason Hawthorne nonchalantly replied, "No problem. Since we’ve given them a taste, we must give it to them in full."

Mason Cross paused, "As expected of BOSS, your foresight is thorough."

Jason Hawthorne’s eyes held a profound smile, "Just wait! Within three days, they’ll have to come begging. Meanwhile, I’ve decided to give them a week, so I can take a break."
