Chapter 1076 The Hamilton Family Is Still Strong


    As the dispute continued on both sides, the conference room door was pushed open, and Liam led


    his entourage in.


    The moment they saw Liam, the room fell into an instant silence.


    Natasha was following right behind, and even though she didn''t say a word, her presence was too


    strong to be ignored.


    At that moment, amidst the crowd, there sat an individual. The instant theyid eyes on Natasha,


    their gaze became extraordinarily intense.


    Liam walked straight to the front, taking the central seat. He looked at the quieted crowd and spoke


    softly. “Why has everyone stopped arguing? Go on, continue, won''t you?”


    The most vociferous person spoke up. “We''re not arguing. We''re merely discussing.”


    “Has a decision been reached from the discussion?” asked Liam.


    The person fell silent.


    Liam swept his gaze over them. “I''m not dead yet. So, are you all so eager to remove me from my


    position?”


    “Old Mr. Hamilton, you''ve been retired for so many years now, and Keh has been in charge all


    this time. You handed such argepany over to him, and now he says he won''t manage it


    anymore. There''s no word on where he''s gone. Don''t we shareholders have any say in this?”


    “So, what are you trying to say, Mr. Leedon?”


    “I''m not saying anything in particr,” Albert stated. “If Mr. Hamilton could show up and provide us


    with a reasonable exnation now, we would consider the matter settled. But if he still doesn''t


    appear, then he can''t me me for taking harsh measures!”


    Liam did not speak, his resolute expression appearing extremely serious. Having spent a long time


    in the business world, he had long since developed a gravitas thatmanded respect by default.


    His gaze swept over everyone present as he asked softly, “Is this what everyone thinks?”


    No one spoke.


    Suddenly, Liamughed, his voice low and resonant, causing an involuntary shiver in those who


    heard it.


    After a long while, he spoke softly, “The Hamilton family is thergest shareholder. Anyone who


    wants to hold a re-election would require this amount of support, wouldn''t they?”


    “Old Mr. Hamilton, you are advanced in years, and Mr. Hamilton is clearly not up to the task due to


    his youth. His heart is not in it anymore. There''s no one else left in the Hamilton family. Forgive my


    frankness, but there''s no point in clinging to this position. It would be better to let someone more


    capable take over!” said Albert.


    As soon as his words fell, a few murmurs of agreement echoed from the crowd.


    “Exactly.”


    “That''s correct.”


    “Thepany can''t continue like this forever.”


    Listening to the discussions below, Liam said, “If anyone has any opinions, feel free to voice them


    out. My hearing isn''t good, so speak up so I can hear!”


    The room instantly fell silent.


    “Why has everyone gone silent?” asked Liam.


    “Old Mr. Hamilton, aren''t you just trying to oppress us by doing this? We''re just stating facts!”


    “Is that so? Did you feel oppressed by my request for you to speak louder?” asked Liam.


    “The truth is, since Mr. Hamilton has been consistently absent, thepany''s numerous projects


    have been unable to progress. Our interests have been harmed, and we have every right to


    protest!”


    “The boss might not be at thepany, yet not a single project was neglected. How did you all end


    up with losses?” At this point, Fabian, who was standing by, couldn''t bear it any longer and spoke


    up.


    At that moment, Albert immediately spoke up. “That''s not the way to see it. If Keh were in the


    company, we might be working on ten projects. But now that he''s not here, who knows how many


    opportunities we''ve missed? Isn''t this a loss for us?”


    “You—”


    Suddenly, someone retorted, “You''re just an assistant, do you even have a say here?”


    Fabian watched on, his fists clenched in anger, yet he felt utterly helpless.


    At that moment, Liam, upon hearing this, showed no signs of anxiety. “Fine,” he said, “You all just


    want an exnation, don''t you? I''ll give you one!”


    Listening to Liam speak, everyone''s gaze fell upon him.


    Liam''s icy gaze swept over everyone before he finally spoke. “Keh has indeed been unable to


    come to the office in person recently.”


    Upon hearing these words, everyone was taken aback, looking at each other.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Their gaze and words were filled with spection.


    “Old Mr. Hamilton, do you mean...”


    “Mr. Leedon, I know what you''re thinking, but I''m afraid I''m going to have to disappoint you. The


    Hamilton family may be small in number, but we''re still strong.”


    Strong? Who else is there? Could there possibly be an illegitimate child?


    Although it wasn''t said outright, the meaning was clear in everyone''s mind.


    In the crowd, a figure had been fixated on Natasha, their gaze lingering on her. Only when they


    heard what Liam said did they react, retracting their gaze and looking toward the center of the room.


    Liam spoke unhurriedly, his gaze shifting toward Natasha at his side. “Thisdy here, I believe, is no


    stranger to any of us. She is Keh''s wife, and also a member of the Hamilton family. All of you


    should have already met her at the previous banquet.”


    Upon hearing these words, everyone was taken aback, looking at Liam in confusion.


    “What do you mean by this?” Albert asked, looking at Liam.


    “Isn''t it clear enough? Keh couldn''te to the office, so he delegated his role to her


    temporarily!” said Liam.


    Upon hearing these words, Albert was the first to stand up in opposition. “Old Mr. Hamilton, isn''t this


    inappropriate?”


    “How so?”


    “This is a corporation, not a child''s yhouse. Not just anyone can manage it, right?” Albert said,


    then looked at the crowd who erupted in an uproar. “What we need is someone with real leadership.


    If Mr. Hamilton can''te and sends his wife instead, how will that look if word gets out? It doesn''t


    seem quite appropriate, does it?”


    “Exactly!”


    “Indeed, it''s indefensible!”


    “Mr. Leedon makes a valid point!”


    “I support what Mr. Leedon said!”


    At that moment, there was nothing but support for Albert.


    There was also a group of people who remained silent. It was clear that they were from Keh''s


    side, but evidently, they weren''t entirely in favor of Liam''s proposal.


    Liam remained silent, and Natasha also stood by, silent and expressionless.


    It seemed as though the crowd''s opposition had absolutely no effect.


    After their discussion, Albert turned to Liam and said, “Old Mr. Hamilton, as you can see, it''s not just


    me who objects. Everyone disagrees with this proposal!”


    A sh of indifference crossed Liam''s face, then he looked at Albert and asked, “Don''t forget that


    the Hamilton family is thergest shareholder. So what if you don''t agree?”


    “You— You''re being unreasonable!”


    “Mr. Leedon, why don''t you tell us who you have in mind?” Liam asked, pretending topromise.


    Albert was taken aback for a moment, clearly not expecting Liam to ask such a question. However,


    he quickly regained hisposure. “Old Mr. Hamilton, I''m not as single-minded as you. What I


    mean is, let''s have a vote. It''s fair and just, and no one can object!”


    Everyone nodded, indicating their agreement.


    However, Liam didn''t take the bait. Instead, he looked at Albert and asked, “Mr. Leedon, I heard that


    you sold some of your shares prior to this, is it because you think thepany is not doing well?”
