Chapter 334: Chapter 332: 332: Turmoil in the Lin Family_1

Ethan Locke’s mind went blank as he stared dumbfounded at Greg Jensen, even suspecting he was hallucinating.

He couldn’t believe that the country bumpkin he had beaten into an idiot had actually taken over the entire Locke family business.

The conference room was silent.

Under the many gazes, Greg Jensen slowly stood up, approached Ethan Locke, and, with a mocking and scornful look in his clear eyes, said softly,

“When you beat me into an idiot, I lived over two years of nightmarish days while you got off scot-free.

Why?

Just because you’re a member of the Locke family?

Just because the Lockes are the foremost family in Jamae City?

So, you can do whatever you want?

Well, now that I’ve taken everything from your Locke family, isn’t it fair?”

“You… you…”

Looking at Greg Jensen’s mocking gaze, Ethan Locke was so furious that his lips trembled, and he couldn’t speak.

“He who oppresses others will be oppressed in turn!”

Greg Jensen said coldly, “From the first day you abused the Locke family’s power to do as you pleased, your fate was sealed!”

Without waiting for Ethan Locke to respond, Greg Jensen indifferently turned around, returned to the head of the table, and then, as if swatting a fly, casually waved his hand and ordered,

“Call security, throw him out!”

“Yes, Mr. Jensen!”

The senior executive who had spoken earlier stood up again, approached Ethan Locke, and said coldly, “Ethan Locke, you can leave now. If you don’t, I’ll call security.”

Ethan Locke lifted his head, his eyes already bloodshot as he glared at the executive and sneered, “Dillon Walker, your wings are strong now, clinging to an old classmate, huh?”

“Ethan, weren’t we classmates too?”

Dillon Walker said blandly, “To treat my mother’s illness, I knelt in front of your villa for a whole day and then served you like a dog for two full years. What did you give me?

Over two years, the one hundred and fifty thousand I borrowed from you was deducted from my salary. My current position, I have climbed up bit by bit on my own merits.

You look down on me because I come from the countryside, so you deliberately suppressed me. The project was clearly my work, yet you took the credit for yourself.

Had it not been for our classmate status, perhaps I would have climbed even higher, wouldn’t I?”

“You… you’re doing well, but don’t think that clinging to Greg Jensen means you can rest easy. We shall see!”

Ethan Locke shot him an angry look and then glanced at Greg Jensen sitting at the head of the table before turning around and striding out of the conference room.

In the corridor, many employees of the company saw Ethan Locke emerge and immediately stood to one side, casting strange looks at him.

Clenching his teeth, Ethan Locke faced the bizarre gazes and brazenly stepped into the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed, followed by the sound of heavy breathing like a pair of bellows.

He viciously ripped off his tie, gasping heavily, eyes red with anger as he cursed,

“Greg Jensen, just you wait! If I don’t destroy you this time, I’ll take your name!”

Ethan Locke went to the underground parking garage, got his car, and drove off like a madman, weaving through the traffic, quickly returning to the Locke family estate.

Having resolved the crisis of the Locke family, Jeffrey Locke was in high spirits, playing mahjong with a few other family members.

Seeing his grandson return so soon, he was somewhat puzzled but did not think too much about it and asked cheerfully,

“Our Mr. Locke is back. How did the meeting go?”

“Ethan is back?”

“Haha, my dear nephew, you’ve had a hard day. In the future, it’s up to you to take care of this family.”

The others also spoke one after another, smiling as they greeted Ethan Locke.

As Ethan Locke looked at his beaming grandfather and relatives, his steps faltered, and a pang of heartache made him stand there, helpless and uncertain about how to begin.

He stood like a statue, his expression one of utter despair, his mouth opening and closing, yet unable to utter a single word.

Jeffrey Locke was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed, his smile carrying an indescribable meaning as if he had already thought of some unfortunate events.

“What happened? Don’t be afraid, tell grandfather. With me here, there’s no hurdle we can’t overcome.”

Ethan Locke grimaced, forcing a smile uglier than a cry, and said, “Grandpa, I’m afraid this hurdle truly can’t be overcome.”

Jeffrey Locke paused again, his expression turning slightly more serious, “Speak, what is it?”

Ethan Locke gave a sad smile and said, “Our Locke Corporation… it’s gone…”

The room immediately fell into a silence as still as death.

At that moment, including Jeffrey Locke, everyone was stunned.

“What happened?” Jeffrey Locke asked.

Ethan Locke said, “It was only when I went to the company that I found out, Greg Jensen now holds thirty-eight percent of the shares, and he’s the largest shareholder of Locke Corporation.

When I arrived, they were in the middle of a board meeting, deciding on the new chairman.”

Hiss!

Upon hearing his words, everyone gasped in shock.

Suddenly…

Thump!

Jeffrey Locke’s eyes rolled back, and he collapsed face up, fainting on the spot.

“Grandpa…”

“Call an ambulance, quick!”

“Try pinching the philtrum!”

The Locke household was instantly thrown into chaos!

After about half an hour, Jeffrey Locke finally came to, his breath weak as he asked, “Are you sure that kid has thirty-eight percent of the shares?”

Ethan Locke glanced at his grandfather, hesitant and afraid to speak, worried the old man’s health would suffer from anger.

Jeffrey Locke’s facial muscles twitched, and he ground his teeth. “Speak, how do you know how many shares he has?”

“He…”

Ethan Locke cautiously said, “He has a certification issued by the management department.”

“What?”

Jeffrey Locke’s face froze, he stared blankly for a long while before murmuring in disbelief, “Impossible, they only bought fifteen percent of the shares, where did the rest, the twenty-three percent, come from?”

A thought struck him, his face suddenly changed, and he turned to look around, angrily exclaiming, “Where is Joe Locke? Where is that bastard Joe Locke? It must be him, that wretched beast!”

After all, as an old hand in the business, the moment he thought of the shares that had suddenly appeared in Greg Jensen’s hands, he immediately thought of his eldest son, Joe Locke.

Because only Joe Locke still held a large number of shares in Locke Corporation, and the numbers matched perfectly.

Furious beyond measure, he searched through the crowd for a while, but could not find Joe Locke’s presence, “Call Joe Locke, tell him to get back here immediately.”

From within the crowd, someone said timorously, “Elder, we already called Uncle earlier, but his phone is switched off.”

“Switched off…”

Jeffrey Locke slumped onto the couch, bereft of strength, “Of course, the shares are all gone, Locke family is ruined, how could that wretch dare to show his face?”

“Elder, please calm down for a moment, maybe Uncle was also deceived.”

“Yes, please take it easy.”

Without Locke Corporation, is the Locke family still the Locke family?

The Lockes’ faces were very grim, everyone knew that without Locke Corporation, all that belonged to the Locke family would cease to exist.

All those who had been living in luxury around the Locke family would also lose their support.
