Chapter 970
Mr. Haley of the EcoTraverse Group was a bystander for the most part, his eyes flitting from one person to another,
a smirk of contempt etched in his eyes. The contract was due to expire in three minutes, and the Raymond family
was already planning to announce Dennis as the new president of Raymond Corporation. Everyone was keen to
make a good impression on Dennis, so they opened the conference room door and invited the executives waiting
outside.
The meeting mirrored a previous one, with the same players present. However, the executives who had previously
supported lan were visibly exhausted after a four–day onslaught from Dennis and his supporters.
Pearson stood up, his face lit up with a smile.
“Since we’re all here, I’d like to announce that the new president of Raymond Corporation is my father!”
The room erupted in applause. Supporters of Dennis stood up, clapping their hands enthusiastically.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDennis‘ face was flushed with excitement. He had never dreamed that he would be able to topple lan. He looked at
the agreement he had signed with Mr. Haley, his voice steady.
“Mr. Haley, you currently hold 20% of Raymond Corporation’s shares. As per our agreement, I will buy them at
more than double the share price.”
Mr. Haley nodded, his gaze shifting involuntarily to the conference room door.
Dennis had invested heavily to acquire Mr. Haley’s shares. He had mortgaged his properties, invested all his cash,
and even borrowed $200 million from the bank. A wave of cheers filled the room as people taunted lan, saying that
his day of reckoning had come.
The executives who had sided with lan looked as if they were attending a funeral. They knew they would all be fired
once Dennis took the presidential seat. They had never expected lan to lose.
Dennis slapped the agreement with Mr. Haley, eager to exercise his power as president.
“We will be haying a three–hour meeting shortly to discuss the future of Raymond Corporation. I hope everyone will
attend. However, before that, some of the executives should voluntarily step down to make way for fresh blood.”
He smirked at the executives who had supported lan, his voice dripping with smugness.
“I’ve already chosen the replacements. At this age, being fired from Raymond Corporation means you probably
won’t find a good job elsewhere. You can only blame yourselves for trusting lan too much.”
Those who supported Dennis were rewarded with an additional $100,000 in annual bonuses.
The room was filled with cheers and groans. But amidst the celebration, the conference room door opened.
The Raymond family members frowned. Everyone who was supposed to be there was present, so who could
interrupt the meeting?
Then, a man’s voice rang out calmly.
“I hope I’m not interrupting anything?”
lan stood at the doorway, flanked by several staff members from the shareholding trust company, some lawyers,
and, closest to him, Jeff.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlan’s gaze swept over everyone in the room as he leisurely walked towards the main seat.
Dennis, sitting in the main seat, looked uncomfortable. How did lan get out?
Did the special investigation team not have any evidence yet, so they released him first?
But that shouldn’t be the case. Ian was the one who kidnapped Holden. If the team investigated carefully, they
would indeed find some clues.
After all, the team members were top–notch investigators.
Dennis was momentarily confused, but remembering that the agreement had ended, a smile returned to his face.
“lan, it’s good that you’re here. I can announce Raymond Corporation’s decisions in front of you.”
lan chuckled, and Jeff tried to push Dennis out of the seat.
This time, Dennis stood firm, refusing to budge.
“lan, this isn’t a place where you can throw your weight around.”
As soon as Dennis finished speaking, Mr. Haley stood up and, together with Jeff, pushed Dennis away.
Mr. Haley’s treatment of lan was nothing short of obsequious. He wiped the chair, mimicking Jeff’s actions from last
time, and only after disinfecting the chair did he dare to gesture for lan to take a seat.
