Asher Land spoke with a calm composure, his gaze casually swept over the crowd in the meeting room, and some of the timid ones were already becoming restless.
Indeed, his goal was to make everyone at Hush Sky anxious and ultimately bring it down.
"President Land, isn’t your approach a bit inappropriate?" Oliver Johnson’s face was tense, yet despite his inner turmoil, his exterior remained calm as still water.
"Sorry, President Johnson, I’ve mentioned that it’s the intention of the major shareholders. I alone cannot reasonably oppose their opinions, just as though I am a shareholder of Hush Sky. I can’t just stop you single-handedly from building that resort, can I?"
On the surface, Asher Land expressed himself as powerless, while subtly hinting to everyone present that he owned 30% of Hush Sky’s shares. In the next shareholders’ meeting, for any decisions regarding Hush Sky, based on the principle of one vote per share, he had the right to support or oppose a matter with his 30% stake, which he believed was enough to turn Hush Sky upside down.
Oliver Johnson clenched his fist tightly, as the meeting fell silent, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Asher Land with their own thoughts.
He smiled without saying a word.
About ten minutes passed, and he suddenly pulled back his chair and stood up.
"President Johnson, your meeting can continue, I have other matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave first." His face showed not a trace of hostility, but rather his lips maintained a slight curve throughout. Check latest chapters at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
Yet Oliver Johnson knew, this was absolutely an act of revenge.
The impact Hush Sky once had on Golden Era, he intended to return tenfold, a hundredfold.
Oliver Johnson sat in his office with his thoughts in chaos; today, Asher Land could let a hundred million for Hush Sky go to waste, and next time, it might be much more than this.
"Big brother!" Henry Johnson entered without even knocking.
"What’s the matter?" He leaned his head against the leather chair, with no intention to open his eyes.
"Big brother, are we just going to let Asher Land keep messing around, step by step, ruining Hush Sky?"
"What do you want to do then?" He casually asked.
"Make him withdraw his shares."
"How is that possible?" Oliver Johnson chuckled lightly, "He will only aim to have more control over Hush Sky, why would he easily exit?"
Henry Johnson seemed to contemplate something, then paused briefly before speaking.
"Don’t we still have a bargaining chip in our hands?"
"Last time, we obtained Golden Era’s secrets because of that woman. Perhaps we can use the same method again, but this time, play bigger to certainly force Asher Land to withdraw his shares and stop meddling in Hush Sky’s affairs!" If last time he was caught off guard by Hush Sky because of a woman, then this time it should surely work again, Henry Johnson was firmly convinced in his heart.
"Do not target her." He spoke indifferently.
He absolutely refused to hurt her a second time.
"Big brother!" Henry Johnson was furious, "What time is it now? Are you still not willing to strike back? Or is it that you can’t bear to use that woman as a bargaining chip?"
"Henry, say no more." He rubbed his slightly aching temples with a look of impatience.
Henry Johnson slammed the door on his way out, feeling very disappointed with Oliver Johnson’s attitude.
After their father’s death, the two of them took over the company, but not long after, such events unfolded, and it was very likely that Hush Sky would be doomed under their watch.
Oliver Johnson closed his eyes, forcing himself not to think of that woman’s figure.
However, for some reason, her image with a smile and a baby bump lingered in his mind, impossible to dispel.
