Chapter 1676 The Price We Pay
Rnd finished in one breath. He saw that yton fell silent and felt apprehensive. Did he say too
much?
However, after a night of tossing and turning, Rnd felt that yton''s decision was a bit detrimental

to himself.
This was not like yton’s style.
yton was a profit-oriented investor.
The elevator arrived.
The two of them went out of the elevator, walked outside, and got into the car.
The car steadily drove but inevitably encountered the rush-hour traffic.
yton spoke lightly and exined.
"Do you think that by keeping those people, we can avoid thepany''s decline? From the beginning
of Isaac''s private deal, the entirepany was pushed to the forefront. There are many who want to
push us down when we''re unstable. What I’m doing now is pushing myself down so that others won’t
have the chance to."
Rnd paused. "But the price we pay is too much."
yton let out a lightugh. "The price?"
His voice was a bit cool and dull. "It''s not on me. It''s on the Sloan family. When thispany was in
Isaac''s hands, I didn’t get a single cent from them. If they want me topromise for their benefit,
that’s just a pipe dream."
Rnd’s chest sank. He suddenly understood yton''s position.
Rnd almost forgot that although yton was a Sloan, the Sloan family forced him out and put him in
this position.
After all, the Sloan family did not give yton any benefits. yton could survive because he was
tough.
Thinking of this, Rnd had the sense to shut his mouth.
Now, the controlling shareholder of Sloan Corporation was Nicole. The reason yton personally came
back t o clean up the mess was most likely because he did not want Nicole''s money to go down the
drain.
yton was not doing this for the interests of the Sloan family, but for Nicole''s interests.
Thus, it made no difference to yton if those people left or not.
On the contrary, if they started anew, they could be even cleaner and bigger a few yearster.
Rnd believed that yton was capable of achieving this.
They arrived at Sloan Corporation.
Everyone in the office looked very depressed.
yton took the exclusive elevator straight to the top floor.
He did not have a dedicated office, so he went to the acting president, Jake''s office.
yton was not really working. He was just there as a n aid.
The acting president, Jake, was basically living in the office. He looked disheveled and came out of the
lounge, fixing his tie. His shirt was still the same as the day before.
Seeing yton appear so promptly, Jake froze and smiled.
"You''re going to stress me out by being so diligent!"
ytonughed and reached out. "Just carry on with what you’re doing. I''m just borrowing a ce to
do my personal business."
Behind him, Rnd took aptop over. yton opened the stock market analysis chart and continued
to look at the trends.
His investments were all over the world. Whether it was physical or virtual, the new industries recing
the old industries were most likely to produce new business opportunities.
A qualified investor would not let go of these opportunities.
The acting president Jake smiled. He went in to change his clothes and wash his face, then came out
again. He attached great importance to his image as h e even shaved his stubble.
The two of them upied half of the office respectively and did not disturb each other.
yton was in the lounge area inside the office and had a clear view of what was going on outside, but
he could not be seen from the outside.
Jake was very capable, but it was exhausting dealing with those old employees who have been with
Sloan Corporation for decades, including those who threatened to resign.
They threatened to resign and criticize thepany for being ungrateful.
Jake was not at fault, but he was criticized anyway.
If he were a Sloan, he might not be so miserable.
However, he was just hired to be the acting president with a high sry. In the end, the one holding
actual power was Nicole.
Yet Nicole was not bothered to step in to solve this problem.
