Chapter 421


    John red at Joaquin sharply, like he was furious, but his son wasn''t even fazed. Joaquin knew his


    father would bring this up. This whole fiasco was only a show to force Joaquin to be the bridge between


    W Co. and Levisay Group. They thought he would do it to keep his shares.


    Before he could say anything, John noted tersely, "I know you don''t want to lose your shares, and I


    don''t wish to see that happen either. If you can bring profit to thepany, I can let you off the hook.


    We wish to have a part in one of W Co.''s projects. If you can take it for us, it''ll be great for the


    company''s future, and you can keep your shares. That''s not all; if you can take the project and form a


    partnership with us and W Co., I can offer you a position in thepany, and you''ll be among the top


    brass. That''s a good idea, isn''t it?"


    Amused, Joaquin wanted tough. He hung his head low, and his shoulders bobbed. He looked like he


    had just heard the best joke in the world.


    However, the other shareholders wondered what he was doing, and John frowned. "This is serious.


    Why are youughing?"


    Soon, Joaquin''s smile disappeared, but there was mockery in his eyes. "Something I heard was


    amusing."


    John narrowed his eyes in response. "What is?"


    "You. You''re a joke," Joaquin said curtly.


    John shot up, his eyes filled with rage, and he mmed his hand on the table. "Watch your tongue,


    boy! You''re talking to me."


    Then, Joaquin cocked his eyebrow, but he didn''t stand down. He was still looking nonchnt. "I know


    who you are, of course. The famous, prideful, proud president of Levisay Group. I don''t understand


    how naive you can be as an experienced businessman. Do you think thepany can take over W


    Co.''s project as it is? It''sughable. Even if I were to present the project to you, Levisay Group could


    never get a single cent of profit from it. No, in fact, this project will be its death knell."


    John was surprised by that, and everyone was confused by his statements.


    "H-How so?" someone asked.


    Furious, John roared, "Nonsense! We''re the top corporation in Hovington! Who else can take the


    project but us? Our partnership is the best deal on the table and will not impede thepany''s growth!


    Are you trying to curse us? You think I can let you handle any projects as you are right now?"


    Joaquin sneered at his remarks. There was no need to be courteous any longer, and he tossed a file


    over to John. "I bet you have no idea what''s happening with yourpany. Here, check it out. See how


    your most trusted allies have taken thepany''s assets bit by bit."


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Everyone was bbergasted, including John. He was in a daze for moments, then when he snapped


    out of it, he turned his attention to the file. A moment of hesitationter, he picked it up, looking grim.


    He then took the documents out and skimmed through them. When he saw the content, his face turned


    ck as coal.


    At that moment, Joaquin watched him in silence, and he smiled. "I see you have no idea about all


    these things. You call yourself thepany''s leader and have no idea what your subordinates are


    doing. That is a fatal w in thepany. Mr. Levisay, thepany has not regressed under your


    leadership, but it is no longer as powerful as it was during Grandpa''s tenure. Haven''t you wondered


    why? Maybe it''s you."


    Angrily, John gnashed his teeth, and he roared, "What do you want?"


    Joaquin cocked his eyebrow in response. "Smart. That is but a copy of the original document. I have


    more. If you don''t want thepany, or you for that matter, to fall, you should step down as president


    and hand over the position to someone else. Being a chairman has its perks, you know. You wouldn''t


    lose any fame or renown and wouldn''t have to be concerned about thepany. All you have to do is


    sit at home, and we''ll pay you dividends. Good choice, isn''t it?"


    "N-No, that''s not great at all!"


    John''s supporters eventually spoke up after hearing those remarks.


    "Yeah! Mr. Levisay is in his best years. He can''t retreat like that. What are you doing, Joaquin?"


    "He''s been the one holding thepany together all these years. You can''t just tell him to resign


    because you have some papers in your hand."


    Joaquin looked at them as they kept attacking him, then he smiled. "Ah, you guys still don''t understand


    what this file means. Fine, I''ll exin." He looked around coolly and continued, "Within these files is the


    evidence of your wrongdoings. These acts of wrongdoing are enough to warrant an arrest and jail time


    of… Probably a decade or two. As thepany''s leader, Mr. Levisay will also be arrested. Once your


    deeds go public, thepany will be locked down, and you and Mr. Levisay will be taken in for


    questioning. Then, it''s time for your verdict."


    Everyone was shaken by the statements and turned their eyes to John, asking him to confirm if it was


    true. Nheless, John''s face was ck as coal, and he red angrily at Joaquin. Through gritted


    teeth, he hissed, "Where did you find these?" These files are confidential, and they suffice as evidence


    of their deeds. There''s no way he could''ve found this unless… He has allies in thispany! Then, he


    shot all the shareholders with a sharp look, trying to see through them. Some stared at him in disbelief,


    but some remained seated and calm like they weren''t involved.
