Chapter 526

Chapter 526:

“Alex, remember, I am now the general manager of Howe Group.”

“General manager?” Alex’s sneer deepened. “You know exactly how you landed that position!”

“You…” Anger made Aliza’s voice quiver. “Don’t push me too far, Alex!”

“Aliza, I’m here to inform you that as of today, you are no longer the general manager of Howe Group.”

“You…” Aliza’s expression shifted drastically at Alex’s declaration.

“You can’t do this to me, Alex! You have no right to treat me this way!”

“Enough!” Alex shouted. “Leave now! From this moment, I never want to see you again.”

“You asked her to leave? Where should she go?” Terrance’s voice boomed through the corridor like a clap of thunder. He approached with long, determined strides.

Even in his advanced years, his tall and commanding presence still reflected the handsome, upright man he once was.

Time had etched its marks on his face, yet his enduring authority rendered him naturally imposing.

His piercing gaze swept the room, finally landing on Alex with undisguised anger.

“Come here, Alex,” Terrance commanded, pointing towards the chair in the office nearby. “You too, Aliza.”

Aliza followed without hesitation, her demeanor subdued. As she passed Alex, she turned slightly, offering him a look filled with mixed emotions, as though she wanted to speak but restrained herself.

Alex felt a sinking feeling.

It was rare for Terrance to address him with such severity, especially in front of the employees.

It seemed this issue might not be resolved easily.

Taking a deep breath to quell his frustration, Alex followed them.

The chairman’s office at Howe Group was spacious and opulently furnished.

Terrance sat behind a large desk, his expression stormy.

His hands were clasped on the desk, his knuckles whitening with tension.

Alex stood firmly, meeting his father’s gaze with unwavering determination. Aliza stood slightly to the side, her head bowed, projecting an image of obedience and calm, her thoughts unreadable.

“Explain yourself. What are you attempting to do?” Terrance’s voice was low and controlled.

“Dad, I’m only trying to do what’s best for the company,” Alex replied, his voice calm yet assertive. “The issues with Wall Group’s maritime trade project were our fault, leading to delays and a breach of contract. We should proactively reach out to Wall Group to negotiate and find a solution, instead of escalating conflicts that could lead to mutual ruin.”

“Negotiate? Find a solution?” Terrance scoffed, his eyes brimming with disdain. “Do you think Noah is some kind of saint who will easily forgive us? You’re too naive.”

“Dad, in business, there are no eternal enemies, only interests that never die. Wall Group may be powerful, but they are not unbeatable. As long as we…”

“Enough!” Terrance slammed the desk, cutting Alex off. “Quiet! You know nothing. You think you understand the business world better than I do? Ridiculous!”

“Dad, I…” Alex began to counter, but the sharpness in Terrance’s gaze silenced him.

“Aliza has conducted an investigation. She uncovered the true cause.” Terrance’s tone softened but retained its firm authority. “The issues with the maritime trade weren’t accidental. Noah orchestrated it. They set us up to force us into a corner, aiming to take over Howe Group.”
