Chapter 1766

Benny’s expression grew even more menacing as he lowered his voice to a threatening whisper.

“Are you Gerry? Did you set all this up?”

His eyes were full of hatred, as if he wanted to tear Matthew apart.

However, no matter how hysterical Benny became, Matthew remained calm and composed.

He spoke as if nothing significant had occurred.

“It’s not me.

I’m not the only one you’ve offended.

”

“Who else could it be?” Benny demanded, his facial muscles twisting in fury, his eyes blazing red like those of a wild beast.

But the policemen gave him no time to pursue the conversation further.

They quickly intervened, dragging him away before he could say anything more.

It was the first time for Prosperity Group that a senior executive was taken by the police right in the middle of a shareholders’ meeting.

The shareholders looked at each other, unsure of what to say to alleviate the tension.

Matthew returned to the head seat and took charge of the situation.

The shareholders eagerly tried to ingratiate themselves with him, saying, “Mr.

Clark, it’s a good thing you’re back; otherwise, the company would be in disarray.

”

“During this difficult time, not only has Mrs.

Clark been deeply upset, but we’ve all been struggling.

”

Someone quickly agreed, “Absolutely, Mr.

Clark is much more astute.

Ever since Benny took charge, he’s grown increasingly arrogant and reckless.

We’ve been fed up with him for a while.

”

“But he’s been too ruthless.

If we hadn’t complied with him, we might not have even survived.

Frankly, we felt we had no other option but to support him.

”

“Now that Mr.

Clark has returned, Prosperity Group is finally out of danger.

”

“Okay then.

” Matthew cut them off and got straight to the point.

“Due to my injury, Benny took advantage of the situation and negatively impacted Prosperity Group.

Thank you all for your perseverance.

”

Despite his courteous tone, no one dared to reply, responding only with awkward smiles.

Matthew continued announcing his decision.

“Next, we will cancel all of Benny’s projects.

The revenue will be accounted for; all illegal earnings will be surrendered, and the legitimate funds will be donated to charity on behalf of everyone here.

”

All the shareholders supported Matthew’s decision.

Matthew then outlined the company’s future direction.

“Going forward, the Prosperity Group will concentrate on two initiatives: film and television, and apparel.

Stella will continue to be the project manager, overseeing the apparel project.

”

Having led Prosperity Group for many years, Matthew’s capabilities were well recognized, and everyone was prepared to support his decisions.

If not for Benny’s interference, these projects would have been advancing smoothly.

Only Stella’s reaction was different.

Her eyelids twitched upon hearing the plans.

The room was too crowded for her to voice her concerns.
