Chapter 109
Ken chuckled softly and said, âIt seems like you hid under my bel and saw the whole process. I didnât expect you to have such a hobby. If I had known earlier, I would have bought a high bed to make it easier for you to crawl in.â
âYouâ¦â The directorâs cheeks instantly turned red. He said furiously, âKen, Iâm considered your elder. How can you talk to me like that? Besides, everyone in Silverlake knows what youâve done. Whatâs wrong with us talking about it?â
âOh? Does everyone in Silverlake know? Then why donât I, the person involved, know that I crippled Ulricâs legs? How do you know better than me, the person involved? Donât tell iné youâre the one who crippled Ulricâs legs. Mr. Hunter.â Ken still looked calm and casual.
Although Wendell Hunter said he was related to the Swanson family, he was actually from Astridâs side. Naturally, he spoke up for Astrid and Ulric.
Wendellâs expression instantly darkened. âWhat nonsense are you talking about? How could I do such a thing!â
Ken shrugged nonchalantly and said, âWhether you did this or not, I didnât see it lying under your bed, so I canât say. However, regarding the acquisition of Taynorma Capital. Mr. Hunter, you did spend a lot of effort, right?â
Kenâs sudden mention of Taynorma Capital made Wendellâs eyes widen in horror.
He was in charge of the acquisition project of Taynorma Capital, but when he investigated this company, he realized most of the data submitted by Taynorma Capital was fake. It was not worth the Swanson Group spending a lot of money to buy it.
In terms of price, he could have used the fake data to suppress Thynorma Capital, but he did not. Instead, he went to find the chairman of Taynorma Capital at that time with it.
The Taynorma Capitalâs chairman immediately gave Wendell a lot of benefits to keep his mouth shut, so he naturally filled his wallet. And now, the acquisition was nearing its end and was about to be completed.
However, no one else knew about this other than him and the chairman of Taynorma Capital.
âHow did Ken know? Why did he suddenly mention this? Wendell wondered.
In his panic, Wendell subconsciously denied it. I didnât confiscate any benefits from Taynorma Capital! Donât slander me!â Ken chuckled. âI didnât say you took benefits from them, Mr. Hunter. Why are you reacting so agitatedly?â
Wendell held his breath.
Indeed, Ken did not say that he had received any benefits. Wouldnât what I said just now expose myself? At the thought of this, Wendellâs entire face turned red. He opened his mouth for a long time but couldnât make a sound, afraid Ken would find any loopholes.
However, Wendellâs sudden silence made the other directors feel something was amiss.
According to Wendellâs usual personality, he would argue with anyone who slandered him
But now, Wendell did not say a word. It was abnormal
Could it be true that Mr. Hunter received benefits from Taynorma Capital? But wasnât it Kenâs first day at the headquarters? How did he know about these things that we donât know? With the questions in mind, everyone could not help but start to fear Ken.
Before the other directors could ask, Ken said, âItâs my first day working at the headquarters today, and this is our first meeting, so letâs not beat around the bush. Now, letâs start our routine meetingâ¦
The people present had more or less done something dirty. They were afraid that Ken would know their secret, so they naturally did not dare to argue with Ken.
A meeting that should have been filled with bloodshed ended smoothly under Kenâs lead.
In the end, Ken suddenly said, âI want to finish the acquisition of Taynorma Capital myself. This is also the first project Iâll do at the headquarters. I hope you guys will cooperate.â
When Wendell heard this, his expression immediately turned dark.
However, he was afraid Ken already had enough evidence, so he could only smile apologetically. âKen, Iâve been monitoring this project, and itâs about to be completed, Is it good to let you do it now?â
Without waiting for Ken to speak, Wendell quickly added, âOf course, Iâm not saying youâre incapable. We all know your ability. The branch company in Insterimond developed well under your leadership. However, the handover alone will take a few days if we change people to do this acquisition now. And time is important for the acquisition project, so Iâll do it. What do you think?â
Ken smiled faintly and said, âMr. Hunter, youâre so dedicated to the companyâ¦â
âYouâre flattering me. Only if the company is good can we be good!â Wendell thought that he had fooled Ken, so he finally smiled again.
However, Ken said again in the next moment. âHowever, you donât have to worry about the time. I came early today and have already gone through the entire project. Thereâs no need to arrange another time for the handover.â
Wendellâs face stiffened. âYouâ¦â
âWhy?â Kenâs dark eyes met Wendellâs coldly. âDonât tell me that you had indeed accepted benefits and are afraid that Taynorma Capital wonât be able to withstand my investigation?â
âHow⦠How is this possible?â Wendell denied hurriedly.
âThatâs good. Since you have no objections, this matter is settled. Ken decided. He picked up the meeting notebook and left not giving Wendell a chance to speak again.
Wendell knew that there was nothing he could do. He immediately stood up shakily and walked out dejectedly.
The other people in the meeting room couldnât care less about Wendell. They started whispering and discussing Ken
âDo you think thereâs a chance that Mr. Ken didnât cripple Mr. Ulricâs legs?â
âBut thatâs what the rumors say. Moreover, Mr. Ulric is indeed still in a wheelchairâ¦
âBut I think what Ken said just now⦠Could there be another reason for Ulricâs matter? Otherwise, according to the chairmanâs wifeâs personality, how could she let it go and not send Ken to prison?â
âPerhaps itâs indeed a rumor⦠In our circle, what kind of dirty things wonât happen?â
âIn any case, whether itâs true or not, we shouldnât provoke him. If itâs true, heâs an outlaw. We cherish our lives and canât afford to offend him. If itâs not true, he might inherit the Swanson Group. We canât afford to offend him either. Itâs better to
avoid him.â
âThatâs right! Look at Mr. Hunter⦠Mr. Ken must have gotten something against him. Did you guys notice his expression just now? It was as if the end of the world had arrived.â
