Chapter 1122
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
âJames doesnât deserve to be the CEO. Dismiss him!â
When Carlosâ car came into view, the crowd swarmed around the Emperor.
It would be hard to press forward without running anyone over. Luckily,
Frankie had called in more security guards beforehand to make sure everyone was safe.
âCarlos, please ask James to quit. Can you take over?â
âOur companyâs stocks are plummeting. Get him out, Carlos.â
âYes, Carlos, we are looking forward to your leadership.â Despite his sternness, Carlos was righteous,
just, and extremely competent. The employees knew this, and Looked up to him. Hilton Group was a
thriving corporation with him at the helm.
On the contrary, James wasnât as capable as Carlos. He played favorites, and put yes-men in positions
of power. And he Lived a rotten life, dragging the companyâs reputation down with him.
Carlos looked at the employees, stone-faced. All of them fell silent under his gaze.
âThe board is investigating the matter. When they figure it out, theyâll Let you know. Go back to work.
Anyone out here protesting when theyâre supposed to be working will be fired. Hilton Group doesnât
need employees who turn on each other in a crisis.â Carlos stood amongst the crowd. He didnât have to
get mad or yell to make people Listen to him.
His awe-inspiring presence did all the work
After that, he turned around and strode into the building, followed by his assistants and bodyguards.
They Looked like a royal procession, and few would soon forget what they witnessed.
Under pressure from the Internet and the other employees, James resigned. The board voted, and it
was unanimousâCarlos was back in the saddle again as the new CEO. He was also made CEO of the
New York branch.
ALL the accusations that Debbie had made were bulletproof. James had no way to fight against them.
He was so pissed that he passed out and was moved into the ICU.
As soon as he came around, Carlos handed him divorce papers and asked him to sign his name.
James turned to the last page and saw that
Tabitha had already signed hers
He was mad, but mostly calm, til he came to the clause that said he wouldnât see a penny out of the
divorce.
âWonât get a penny?â When he read this, James tore the papers into shreds, tossing them into the air.
As they rained down around them, he shouted, âI wonât get a divorce. I wonât sign my name! I raised
you like a son, and you do this! Everyone has turned against me, but youâre my kid. I promise Iâll be
good to your mom. Iâll fly back to New York as soon as I get well.â
Carlos shifted his sharp gaze from the pieces on the floor to him.
âI need to know what you did to Debbie three years ago. What makes her hate you so much?â he
asked coldly.
James was stunned when Debbieâs name was mentioned.
âDidnât I already tell you everything?â he said.
âWhat you told me isnât reason enough for her to take revenge on you like this,â Carlos said. He could
sense that Debbie was way too eager to destroy James. âShe must have some other reason for it, â he
thought .
James was reduced to silence.
