Chapter 1667

“What should we do now?” Lucy said, feeling frustrated and depressed. “Is our company really going to…”

Before she could finish speaking, the office door was pushed open, and Chris and Jesse strode in cockily.

Jesse, who was puffing on a cigar, plopped himself down on the sofa and shot a look at Chris.

“Mr. Sterk, the meeting is starting soon. Shall we have a chat first?” Chris asked coldly.

“What do you want to talk about?” Johann glared at him and asked. “Chris,” the man replied.

“Huh!”

Chris was no longer making efforts to conceal his identity and said directly, “You know very well that the current situation is not in your favor. Charlotte is also finished. There’s no point in you holding on. Why don’t you sell the five percent shares of the company you are holding to us? We’ll give you a good price…”

“Over my dead body!” Johann shot a fierce glare at the man and scolded, “Who do you think you are? Don’t you dare get any ideas about me. Let me tell you, no matter how much you offer, I will never sell my shares to you.”

“The company is going to change its name soon. What’s the point of you staying here?” Jesse blew out a circle of smoke and looked at Johann with a warm smile on his face. “Isn’t it better for you to take the money and retire comfortably?”

“What do you mean?” Johann froze for a second before pointing at Jesse and questioning Chris in an agitated manner, “You… Have you sold your shares to him?”

Chris lowered his head and did not reply.

In fact, that was not his original intention. At first, he had only joined forces with Jesse to make use of Jesse to get his revenge. Even though he did agree that he would reward the man for helping him, he did not expect Jesse to be that ambitious…

Even more unexpectedly, Chris found himself being entirely under Jesse’s control and was completely defenseless against the man.

“You bast*rd!”

Johann was trembling with rage and raised his hand to slap Chris.

However, before he could do that, Jesse’s subordinate caught his wrist and pushed him away coldly.

Johann lost his balance and nearly fell to the floor, but Lucy steadied him in the nick of time.

“He is now my son-in-law. Other than me, no one has the right to discipline him.” Jesse fixed a cold gaze on Johann and said, “If you are willing to sell your shares to us now, I’ll give you a good price. Don’t force me to do it the hard way.”

“Scram! Get lost right now!” Johann bellowed furiously while pointing at the door.

“What a stubborn old buggar.”

Jesse narrowed his eyes and glared at Johann frostily.

Two of his subordinates immediately walked toward the old man with murderous intent in their eyes.

“What are you guys doing?” Lucy widened her eyes in shock.

Chris could not bear to watch the situation anymore and reminded Jesse softly, “Mr. Sterk is a founding member of Nacht Group and is in charge of all technological matters. Without him, Nacht Group might suffer huge losses…”

“Do you really think I’m intending to manage Nacht Group?” Jesse sneered and continued, “I would rather sell it.”

“You…” Chris widened his eyes in shock. It was then that he realized that Jesse was just after money. After taking over Nacht Group, he would sell it immediately, exchanging it for cash.

“Old git, I guess we will have to do it the hard way then!”

Immediately, those two subordinates grabbed Johann forcefully.

Seeing that those people were going to take action on Johann, Lucy exclaimed, “This is too much! Do you guys really think that you can do as you wish?”

The woman tried to stop them but was being pushed to the ground instead.

Just then, the door suddenly swung open and someone said coldly, “Stop it right now!”

Everyone looked up toward where the voice was coming from and was stunned…

Who’s this shorty?

It was a woman dressed in office wear, looking like a secretary. Her face could not be seen as she was wearing a mask. However, her spirited big eyes stood out…

“Get out of here!”

Just when the bodyguard who was standing next to the door tried to shove the woman away, he started having a convulsion before he could even touch her. Seconds later, he collapsed to the ground in pain…
