Chapter 303

Chapter 303:

“Don’t sympathize with the capitalists! I stand with Chapman Group!”

“Go Chapman Group! If those blueprints hadn’t been stolen, Chapman Group couldn’t have presented the same ones! I hope they win!”

“Wow, big changes might be on the way! Johns Group is the richest in Gemond!”

Many netizens rallied behind Chapman Group, convinced they wouldn’t have initiated a lawsuit without solid evidence. Meanwhile, numerous spectators were just there for the spectacle.

When the news broke, Johns Group’s stock prices took a nosedive. Glenn promptly called a high-level meeting.

With a stern expression, he surveyed the room. “Who accessed my safe while I was away?” His intimidating gaze made everyone uneasy.

Everyone denied it, shaking their heads. “We haven’t entered your office in your absence.”

“That’s right. It has nothing to do with us.”

Glenn’s assistant then turned to Rowan. “Mr. Johns, Rowan has been to your office.” All eyes darted to Rowan.

Rowan waved his hand immediately. “I only checked for any unresolved documents since you were away. I wanted to make sure nothing was overlooked. That’s all I did. Besides, what benefit would it bring me if Johns Group collapsed?”

His words were reasonable, and everyone looked away from him, but their anxiety remained.

Seeing that no one suspected him anymore, Rowan turned to Glenn. “Glenn, you bear significant responsibility for this mess. We understand you’re grieving the loss of your daughter, but how can you ignore your responsibilities at the company? Many depend on you for their livelihood. If you had been present, perhaps those confidential documents wouldn’t have been stolen so easily.”

The executives pursed their lips, somewhat agreeing with Rowan’s accusation.

Glenn responded with a deep, solemn voice, “I admit my mistakes, but now isn’t the time to dwell on them. Our priority must be to identify the traitor within the company!”

“The surveillance system was conveniently down recently,” one executive said, his tone tinged with irritation. “We can’t find out who accessed your office.”

“Moreover, it’s possible someone from outside did this. If Chapman Group had been determined enough to steal our files, they might have hired someone to break in, maybe even through an office window.”

The investigation proved to be incredibly challenging. “We must start the investigation immediately!” Glenn declared, slamming his hand on the table.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After the meeting, Glenn dialed Jeffry.

Speaking calmly yet with a forceful undertone, he said, “I didn’t expect you to be this capable.”

Jeffry felt an inexplicable chill—Glenn’s commanding presence had intimidated many over the years.

Reminding himself that they were not the disadvantaged party, Jeffry retorted, “Mr. Johns, we are the victims here. You stole our blueprints. It’s outrageous! You owe us an explanation.”

“An explanation, is it? Then come to Ansport.” Glenn’s voice was cold and unyielding.

Jeffry’s face contorted with disbelief. “We’re the victims here, and you expect us to travel to Ansport? Shouldn’t you be coming to Gemond to discuss this?”

“You have ten hours to get here, or I won’t hesitate to take this to court,” Glenn declared, then abruptly hung up.

As Jeffry put down the phone, Jenna and Phyllis, who had been waiting nearby, immediately approached him. “What happened?” Jenna asked anxiously.

Jeffry’s face was dark with frustration. “I didn’t expect Glenn to be so confident, even at this stage. He’s demanding we go to Ansport or face legal action!” Jenna’s brow furrowed as she considered the situation.

“Then let’s go. Our goal is to take over Johns Group. If Glenn is willing to hand it over without a fight, we can avoid a lengthy lawsuit.”

Jeffry nodded in agreement. “Alright. We’ll head to Ansport.”

The family quickly set off for Ansport.

In Ansport, the two parties arranged to meet in a private room at a hotel.

Jeffry deliberately adopted a cold and arrogant demeanor, hoping to dominate the negotiations. However, the moment Glenn and Rowan entered the room, the atmosphere shifted palpably.

Glenn’s indifferent gaze swept over the Chapman family, and Jeffry’s shoulders tensed instinctively; Glenn’s aura was formidable, and it was clear that his confidence was unshakable.

This was Rowan’s first encounter with the Chapman family. He wasn’t sure why Glenn had insisted on bringing him along and felt an uneasy knot in his stomach.

Glenn took his seat across from the Chapman family and began sipping his coffee leisurely.

Jeffry waited for Glenn to speak, but the prolonged silence made him increasingly uncomfortable.

“Mr. Johns, what’s the meaning of calling us here and then staying silent?” Jeffry frowned, clearly irritated. “Are you playing games with us?”

“Are we the ones playing games?” Glenn replied calmly. Rowan, observing from the side, noted Glenn’s composed demeanor with surprise. Even under pressure, Glenn remained unfazed, which was impressive and unnerving.

Jeffry’s heart skipped a beat, but he tried to maintain his angry facade. “Glenn, what do you mean? You’ve plagiarized our work, causing us significant losses, and now our project is stalled. And you accuse us of playing games? What’s your plan to resolve this issue?”
