Chapter 529
Two days after that, in the Conrad Group’s board meeting…
Nathan said in the Director office, “Mr. Conrad, the Chairman and Young Master Justin have arrived.”
“Alright,” rence replied. He sat in front of the desk while his finger knocked lightly on it like he was
deep in thoughts.
Nathan continued, “I’ve made arrangements with the airport. Everything is well-prepared.”
rence stood up after a few minutes. He said softly, “Let’s go.”
In the spacious meeting room, Dempsey was sitting on the seat of the host. Justin was sitting beside
Dempsey in his wheelchair. An empty seat was reserved on the right side of Justin’s wheelchair. It was
for rence.
Everyone had arrived in the meeting room.
Dempsey said when he saw rence walked in, “Now that everyone is here. I shall start with the main
purpose of this board meeting.”

As rence seated, Dempsey continued, “Everyone knows I have another son, other than rence.
Justin was in retreat before this due to health issues. Now that he’s almost recovered, I thought it’s
going to be a good idea for him to get out of the house more.”
“After all these years, I’ve realized that even rence was capable of managing thepany well, but
the Conrad Group is a bigpany, and rence could sometimes miss a spot or two. As rence’s
big brother, Justin too is the legal sessor of the Conrad Group. He should contribute to thepany
as well.”
Dempsey paused for a while and continued, “So, I was thinking that from today onwards, Justin will be
coming into the Conrad Group as a General Manager.”
The meeting room was filled with chatter and discussions as soon as Dempsey finished his
announcement.
Everybody knew that Dempsey only held the position of the Chairman in the Conrad Group, but in fact,
he didn’t have any say when it came to big decisions about thepany. The amount of shares
Dempsey was holding was very little.
Nobody would have an opinion if Dempsey brought Justin into the Conrad Group and gave him an
insignificant job.
But now, Dempsey wanted to give Justin the General Manager position. The position only held lesser
power than rence in thepany.
It indicated that the Conrad Group was going to have a dramatic change.
Dempsey would even regain his power in thepany.
Would Mr. Conrad agree with it?
rence remained silent and sat in his ce as people chattered and discussing around him.
Dempsey raised his hand, “Silent.”
Soon, everybody stopped talking.
Dempsey continued, “I know it is a difficult decision to adjust to, but Justin was holding forty per cent of
shares of thepany. I believe he is the best fit for the position of General Manager.”
People in the room was surprised, and they all looked at rence at the same time.
They were shocked by the fact that Justin was holding forty per cent of the share of the Conrad Group.
Before this, rence held a total of eighty-five per cent of the share, and he had the ultimate say for
thepany.
What was that?
Dempsey knew it was hard for people to believe in what he said.
So, he raised his hand and signaled the assistant to turn on the projector.
It was the agreement Jon sent back two days ago.
However, the image was blurry when the projector turned on.
Dempsey raised his voice, “What’s going on?”
The assistant replied, “I’ve checked before we came. It was functioning…”
rence said slowly, “I forgot to tell you. Some problems urred to our devices yesterday, and we’ve
no time to fix it yet.”
Dempsey was speechless.
The assistant quickly said, “Where is he? Haven’t he arrived?”
Without the document, rence could still say it is a forged photo even if they had a copy of the fax. A
copy of the fax wouldn’t be much of the help.
The assistant whispered, “He’s already got off of the ne, but something happened…”
“What?”
….
At the same time, in the City N International Airport.
Jon got arrested by customs officers once he got off the ne. The customs officers took him in for an
investigation as Jon was listed as a suspect for smuggling.
“Can I make a call then?”
The custom officer-in-charge looked at Jon with an expressionless face.
Jon had no choice but to hand in his phone, then cooperate with the investigation with a stack of
documents in his hands.
Damn it!
Jon had been experiencing several bad lucks these two days after he messed with rence.
Jon offended the mafia in London for no reason. He went through so much to get away from them, and
he managed to get into the ne to City N atst. However, the bad luck continued.
Obviously, it was a set-up by rence.
But what Jon didn’t understand was how rence made arrangements in London to get him killed on
such short notice.
As far as Jon knew, rence didn’t have much connection in London as London wasn’t his sphere of
Influence.
That was the initial reason why Jon set their location in London.
Who knew Jon almost got killed there.
At the outside of the airport, Vincent sent Nathan a text informing him that everything proceeded
smoothly.
…
Nathan whispered to rence in the meeting room after he got Vincent’s text.
rence replied calmly, “Understood.”
Dempsey red at rence. He wasn’t looking so good now. He knew rence was messing with
him.
Dempsey’s initial n was to get Justin into thepany. He was hoping that rence would take
their rtionship into ount and wouldn’t reject his suggestion.
However, Dempsey might not be able to go on with his n, considering what happened in the meeting
room.
If the document didn’t arrive in time, all his efforts would be wasted.
But Dempsey did prepare a backup n. The fax copy was his backup n.
However, the biggest obstacle in the n was rence.
rence voiced out before Dempsey, “I signed the agreement, and it was legal. So be it.”
Then, rence stood up and walked out of the meeting room after finishing his words.
People in the meeting room was shocked. They were confused.
Even Dempsey didn’t believe what he heard. He didn’t expect rence to agree with his suggestion
without a fight.
It was unpredictable.
Justin had been quiet during the meeting. He frowned and followed rence out of the meeting room
in his wheelchair.
As rence stepped into his office, a voice rose behind him, “rence.”
Nathan quietly stepped out of rence office and closed the door.
Justin paused and continued, “You shouldn’t do that.”
rence sat on the couch, “The Conrad was initially yours. I can give it to you if you want it.”
“But you knew. It wasn’t me who wanted the Conrad Group.”
“It’s the same for me. I would rather get it over with as soon as possible than to put you in the middle
and see you suffer.”
“But rence…”
rence said calmly, “I wouldn’t regret my choice since I’ve made up my made. Even if I’ve given up
half of the share of the Conrad Group today, I can surely take it back from him another day.”
Justin sighed. He didn’t know what to say anymore.
