Franklin Yates was taken aback.
Elder Cole said he was keeping a woman?
So, not only do they know he privately seizes the Cole Family’s assets, but they also know he keeps a woman outside?
This, this can’t be covered up, right?
Realizing this, Franklin Yates didn’t bother pretending with Elder Cole any longer. Official source is n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
"Since you know everything, I’ll be straightforward. Yes, I privately moved some of the Cole Family’s assets under my name, that was my mistake. But after working so hard for the Cole Family for so many years, even if we divorce, can’t I take these with me?"
Indeed, now that everything is exposed, Franklin Yates only has the option to take a portion of the Cole Family’s property through divorce.
In his mind, even if he takes most of the Cole Family’s assets, he can still manage and grow the business based on his talent.
As for the Cole Family, he doesn’t have to face them anymore.
"Haven’t you divorced Lana long ago, leaving with nothing? What daydreams are you having, wanting to take our family’s assets?"
Initially, Elder Cole still appreciated Franklin Yates’s dedication to the Cole Family over the years, but with Franklin Yates’s sudden change of face, his last hope was dashed.
"When did I divorce Nora? Are you out of your mind?"
"If you don’t believe me, go check it yourself. Anyway, you are no longer associated with our Cole Family, don’t appear at our doorstep again."
Elder Cole, unwilling to waste words, promptly turned back into the house after leaving these words.
"What divorce? I never signed a divorce agreement with Nora, how is it a divorce?"
"Come back, old man! Explain yourself clearly!"
Franklin Yates shouted at the door for a long time and didn’t get any response, so he had to leave.
The first thing Franklin Yates did upon leaving was heading to Cole Corp.
On the way to Cole Corp, Franklin Yates kept cursing.
"Even if all my bank cards are frozen, so what? Now the entire Cole Corp is firmly in my hands. Making their family end up on the streets is just a matter of talking."
So Franklin Yates’s plan was to return to Cole Corp, suspend Elder Cole and Nora’s positions, then sell off the shares and the movable and immovable assets he had control over.
By then, he would take that big asset and disappear, leaving the Cole Family to live under bridges.
Thinking of Elder Cole and Nora, ragged and living with uncertainty, brought him indescribable pleasure.
However, things didn’t go as planned.
He never expected that when he attempted to step into Cole Corp again, he was stopped by security guards.
"Non-personnel, please do not enter our Cole Corp premises."
"You bunch of idiots, I’ve only been away from the company for a few days, and you don’t recognize me?"
Franklin Yates angrily berated the security guards.
"Who are you?" asked the guard again.
Franklin Yates felt these security guards looked unfamiliar, thinking they were new, confidently introduced himself: "I am President Yates of your company."
Who knew the security guards, after hearing his introduction, didn’t show any panic or confusion, instead they mockingly said: "So this is the famous Mr. Yates. I was wondering who it was!"
In every way, these people didn’t take him seriously.
This made Franklin Yates feel his dignity was trampled. His voice rose significantly:
"You’re just the damn gatekeepers here, acting like you own the place? If you don’t make way, I’ll make sure you all get fired and go eat dirt at home!"
Once he received that huge property, the first thing he’d do is make them regret coming into this world.
But his shouting led to this response: "Both are gatekeepers, who’s more refined?"
