Chapter 624
Even After Death
While the discord between the two men was going on, the others had already split into two groups,
standing with the person they supported.
It was as if they had discussed doing so beforehand. The voting hadnât even started yet!
Although Darrell was an illegitimate child, Kenneth showered him all of his love. After Kenneth divorced
Ethanâs mother, Darrell officially held the title of Mr. Miller.
Still, Ethanâs grandfather wouldnât acknowledge Darrell as his grandson. He didnât even want to
acknowledge Kenneth! Ethanâs grandfather went as far as removing Kennethâs name from the family
tree!
Since it was the Millersâ family matter, it wasnât something everyone could intervene in.
But now, the future of the company was depending on it.
Everyone stepped away from the duo, who were fighting for the right to be the president of Miller
Group, not wanting to get
into trouble.
No one expected Ethanâs public display of affection would cause this.
The top company was cornered by competitors and suffering from internal conflict at the same time.
Everyone thought that they would be able to witness something unprecedented with their own eyes.
Considering that it was a fight for the throne between the two sons, the others were sensible enough to
keep their mouths shut. They didnât even dare to breathe loudly.
It was a duel between two great men! They wouldnât want to get into trouble by joining the fray.
Now that Ethan was driving Darrell out of the room, Darrell said calmly, âItâll be my place soon. I just
wanna know what it feels like to sit here beforehand. Do you have an opinion about it, Ethan?â
Despite his gentle demeanor, his formidable aura didnât lose one bit.
âItâs either you get out of here yourself, or Iâll help you with it. Which one do you choose?â Ethan gave
Cyril a look.
Cyril cracked his knuckles intimidatingly.
Darrell read the room and stood up. âFine. Itâs nothing to rush anyways.â
He then sat on Ethanâs right, and Ethan frowned. It seemed like Ethan didnât like the close distance
between them.
The others took their seats. An untrammeled Darrell played with the water bottle in front of him.
He lowered his voice. âEthan, I dare to sit here because I can guess what your trump card is. But you
might not know whatâs mine.â
Ethan was uneasy for a second upon hearing that, wondering if there was a variable to the situation.
Darrell continued, âYour trump card is the shares Grandpa gave you. But Ethan, youâre foolish for
transferring them to others to maintain the deceptive peace within the company.
âPeople change their minds very easily. Do you think that things will go according to your
expectations?â
âIt looks like youâre confident that itâll be your win.â
âEthan, do you still remember what I said when I was young? I said I will steal everything from you. Iâve
poured so much effort into this.
âWhy are you the successor of the Miller Group when no one likes you? That should be me.
âGrandpa is stubborn as a bull. Since he didnât want to give it to me, I might as well steal it myself. You
think that you own 45 percent of the company shares, donât you?â
Ethan was taken aback at how unexpected Darrell was.
âIt looks like I guessed it right. I know that you were aware of me buying the company share in secret.
And you were relying on Grandpaâs confidant. I can tell you that youâve lost this game.â
Ethanâs gaze
landed on one of the people. That personâs gaze was wavering as he was embarrassed. âIâm sorry, Mr.
Miller. I have my reasonsâ¦â
âJeez, let this younger brother of yours teach you a lesson, Ethan. About why the trick is always the
opted method in situations like this.â Darrell grinned as though he was confident that he would win.
âLetâs start the voting.â
Right then, the door was opened. Standing by the door, Olivia looked at Ethan. âIâm not late, am I?â
