Chapter 453 After Athena accepted Matthew's proposal, Matthew took Athena's hand and led her to Nicolas.

He told Nicolas with a smile, "Dad, Athena has accepted my proposal. We will hold the wedding after she graduates. Please give us your blessing." Nicolas was so angry that his eyes turned red. He grabbed a vase at the side and threw it at Matthew. He roared, "Get lost! You're not worthy of being my son. Get out of this house and Graham Group." He pointed at Athena next and yelled, "How dare someone from an insignificant family like yours marry into our family? Dream on! We will never let you have your way." When Brandon saw this, he was furious and wanted to rush up to rebut Nicolas on the spot.

However, Matthew spoke first. "If you scold my fiancée, you're criticizingtoo. I cto your birthday party and even introduced my most important person to you. How could you scold me? "You leavewith no choice but to leave. You can celebrate your birthday yourself." Then, he held Athena's hand and left at once, not giving any thought to embarrassing Nicolas. Athena did not say goodbye to Nicolas either and left with Matthew with a smile.

When the Donovan family saw their daughter leave, they did not stay. They threw Nicolas disdainful looks and left as well.

Before Brandon left, he pointed his middle finger at Nicolas rudely, attracting everyone's attention and uproar. Josie secretly made a face at Nicolas too and whispered "Bad Guy" before running away.

Everyone was speechless. They had heard Josie's words. They wondered if the Donovan family was fearless because they were ignorant, or so tough they did not fear being beaten. But no matter what, Matthew had completely broken off ties with Nicolas. Nicolas was also humiliated.

For the remainder of the birthday party, Nicolas went back to his room to rest because of his poor health. Neil, Derrick, and the other big shots did not appear either.

As it was inappropriate for the guests to leave immediately, they sat down for a casual meal and gossiped about what had happened. After chatting, they left.

***** The next day, news of Matthew proposing to Athena on his father's birthday, falling out publicly with his father, and leaving directly exploded on the internet. The entire Intewas discussing this matter like crazy.

At the stime, Neil personally gathered all the directors for a board meeting. There was only one goal for the meeting and that was impeachment.

All the directors were here, including Matthew. Nicolas turned up in a wheelchair too. Even the directors who were overseas took a plane back overnight to attend the meeting despite their old age and fatigue. To put it bluntly, this meeting was targeted against Matthew.

Neil did not speak up but instead waited for the other directors to speak first. Most of the directors were old. They had long disliked the young and unruly Matthew, who always wanted change and reform.

In the past, Neil and Nicolas supported Matthew so they could not do anything to Matthew. Now that Neil and Nicolas no longer stood on Matthew's side, they did not hold back.

One after another, they pointed out what Matthew had done wrong, and how he had gone overboard over the years.

Matthew listened quietly. He wasn't impatient or anxious, nor was he in a hurry to refute or counterattack.

He was like a well-mannered audience listening to a boring talk show. From tto time, he would sip his coffee. He did not talk until the show ended.

Nicolas glared at Matthew and thought, 'When the tcomes for the vote, all the directors will agree to impeach you. Let's see if you will still be smiling.' Nicolas was the last to accuse Matthew, recounting how disrespectful Matthew was, and how he bullied his stepmother and step-siblings. He was very passionate in his speech, and the directors looked at him wn sympathetically.

Strangely, Archie, who was usually at odds with Matthew, did not accuse Matthew, in this meeting. He even defended Matthew. However, his defense was criticized and be was warned by the other elder folks.

Soon, Archie shut up.

As for Neil, he only said, "Graham Group still has to respect the opinions of the vast majority.

Pom Matthew, what do you have to say for yourself?" Matthew smiled, "I have nothing to defend myself with." Neil closed his eyes to hide his disappointment. "Let's start voting." Just like that, the meeting finally cto the voting segment after more than two hours.

There was no doubt the majority of the board of directors, or even all of them, supported Matthew's om impeachment. Matthew's withdrawal from Graham Group was already set in stone.
