After Wade hung up the phone, the meeting room was dead silent.
He then smiled at Titus and said, “I didn’t know there was such a big dispute in the shares. Let’s cancel the meeting today and discuss it again next time, or we can discuss it in detail after you two settle your disputes in private.”
Titus glanced at him. “Did you know that the money Rosabella spent to hire your team to Lyons Corporation was also my wife’s?”
The smile on Wade’s face froze.
Back then, Rosabella offered to hire him with an annual salary of 3oo million.
“She spent my wife’s money and hired a piece of trash like you for 300 million dollars?” Titus did not conceal the contempt in his eyes.
“Mr. Costner, I don’t think I’ve offended you before. ” Wade took a deep breath and held back his anger. “If Rosabella hadn’t begged me to, I wouldn’t have come here.”
“Enough. Don’t treat everyone like a fool. You know very well who recommended you to Rosabella.”
Titus stood up slowly. “I have no reason to interfere in your company’s affairs, but I won’t let goo billion dollars go to waste. I’ll sue you to court.
Soon, 70 percent of Lyons Corporation’s shares will be frozen. As for your 300 million, I’ll recover it soon as well.”
Then, he looked away from Wade’s dark and stiff expression and shoved his hands in his pockets as he left with his assistant and secretary.
Cate watched Titus’s figure disappear before looking away, only to see Shaun staring at her in dissatisfaction.
How did she upset him again?
However, now was not the time to pursue this.
Cate smiled at Wade and said, “She hired you for 3oo million? That’s too expensive. I don’t think that’s necessary.”
“No matter how reluctant you are, Ms. Cox, Rosabella and I have signed a contract that has been stamped with the company’s official seal, ” Wade said with a sneer. “So what? We can break the contract, ” Cate said coldly. “Do you really think the company is yours? Don’t think I don’t know that Wesley is backing you. Let me remind you that once the shares in Rosabella’s hands are frozen and the lawsuit drags on for a while, the Lyons family will have the final say. When that time comes, we can tell you to get lost anytime we want.”
“You…”
“Besides, as the president, you refuse to follow the director’s orders, and you go against us instead. I even suspect that you want to take over the company. Look at Lyons Corporation’s top brass.
They’re all your people. Do you think any Tom, Dick, and Harry can come here and do as they please?” Cate enunciated each word with a tone so cold that it made Wade’s facial muscles twitch and tremble.
Shaun had never seen Cate so cold before, but this only made her look even more attractive. She was simply a cold beauty.
Wade sneered. “Ms. Cox, not only do you want to dismiss me, but you want to get rid of all the executives I hired as well, right?”
“What if I do? Will you get lost?”
Cate mocked, “People like you will stay here shamelessly anyway.”
Wade clenched his fists in anger.
“I know you won’t leave.”
Cate said, “But from tomorrow onward, Shaun will return to the company to assume the position of president. You’ve been demoted, but you don’t have to feel unhappy about it. When the board of directors exercises its powers, a worker like you has no qualifications to say no.”
Then, she held Shaun’s hand and walked away.
When they got to the door, the sound of a cup smashing came from the inside.
Cate gave Shaun a look.
Shaun immediately understood her. With that, he clenched his fists and turned around.
It was just in time for him to see Wade glaring at their backs ferociously and the shattered cup on the ground.
“Wow. Not bad. ” Shaun raised the eyebrows on his grim but handsome face. “It’s the first time I’ve seen a president daring enough to smash a cup and glare at the board of directors.”
“No, I accidentally knocked the cup down, ” Wade said coldly. “What? My facial muscles are twitching out of control too. I didn’t do it on purpose. Did you see me do it?”
“It’s my first time seeing a worker who’s more arrogant than the boss. Fine, you can get lost now. You don’t have to come to the company tomorrow.”
Shaun snorted in disgust and pulled Cate away.
However, along the way, the thought of Wade’s face still disgusted him. “Do you think he’ll leave tomorrow?”
Cate smiled. “Haven’t you heard the saying that it’s easier to invite the devil in than it is to send him away?”
“No…” Shaun shook his head firmly.
Cate was speechless. She forgot that he had lost his memory. “He won’t leave. Wesley must’ve bribed him and given him a lot of benefits, so he doesn’t even need his dignity anymore. If you come to the company tomorrow, he’ll definitely make the top management refuse to work with you. Even if you become the president, it’s just an empty seat.”
“They can dream on if they want to make me a figurehead.” Shaun’s eyes flashed with anger. ” Cate, I think you have it too hard. Do you have to deal with these kinds of scum often? Don’t worry. Sooner or later, I’ ll trample over them and make them respect and revere you.”
Cate turned around, and when she saw his serious expression, warmth filled her heart. ” Shaunny, don’t take it too seriously. After all, as long as Uncle Titus recovers the shares and stops Wesley and Jeffery from succeeding, Wade will be helpless. He’s just a scoundrel.” “Okay. Cate, I think Uncle Titus is quite impressive. ” Shaun suddenly looked at her with a complicated gaze. “Do you admire him very much? You kept staring at his back when he left. It was as if you were reluctant to look away from him.”
Cate was speechless. So that was why he was unhappy just now.
“Yes, I admire him quite a bit.” Cate nodded without concealing her admiration.
Titus may be both good and evil, but ever since he rescued Suzie, Cate began to respect the man from the bottom of her heart.
He pampered and cherished Shery as a husband, but he did not overindulge her. To be truthful, with Titus’s strength, Shaun and she might have died long ago if he went all out on them when he first came to Melbourne.
It was said that the more money a man had, the more bad habits he had. However, she could not see that in Titus.
He was truly good to Sheryl. Whether she was good or bad, he did not abandon her when she became sick.
Although she did not like Sheryl, she was envious of that love and marriage.
As for herself, her marriage was a failure, and Shaun was not as open-minded and tolerant as Titus either. Otherwise, he would not have been easily deceived and used by Sarah.
Perhaps he did change a lot after they reconciled, but not long after they got back together, he…
Cate looked at Shaun sadly and saw him frowning despondently.
“Cate, don’t worry. I’ll become an admirable man like him.” Shaun clenched his fists in determination. “I’ll study hard and take Lyons Corporation back.”
Cate smiled. “I admire him not because of how domineering he is in the business world. You won’t understand.”
“Then you can tell me. I can learn,” Shaun quickly added.
“What do you want to learn?” Cate gave him a side glance. “What I admire is his fidelity to marriage and how forgiving he is when it comes to love. Who are you going to use this on if you learn it?”
Shaun froze.
He was still very far from experiencing marriage and love.
He was a little distressed. He had never encountered these before yesterday. In fact, he could tell from the group photos on his phone that he had a close relationship with Cate.
However, Cate was married and had children. What relationship did he use to have with her? Shaun was very lost.
“Let’s go home. You still have class later.” Cate did not think too much about it. She admitted that Shaun was growing very fast, but how unlikely was it for him to understand love yet?
Not long after getting into the car, Mireya called. ” Cate, are you done? Rodney said he wants to go to the manor to visit Shaun. I also haven’t seen you for several days, so I’ll be coming along with him.”
“Tsk. You two are getting along quite well, huh? You’re even going to places as a couple now.
Cate teased with a grin.
“Don’t be ridiculous.” Mireya hurriedly warned her in a low voice.
Cate could instantly guess that Rodney might be present, so she smiled. “Okay, then. I’ll go to the supermarket later to buy some groceries. You’re more than welcome to come over.”
“Hehe. Remember to make a few more of my favorite dishes.”
Mireya grinned and hung up the phone. Once she turned around, she was confronted with Rodney’s handsome face.
