Chapter 337: Untitled
The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray
Had this happened in the past, Louis might have really believed what these former senior executives had said and thought that Adrian had really made a comeback, while Louis himself was going to be in huge trouble. But now that Lucas, the chairman of the company, was standing near him, and Adrianâs conspiracy had already been exposed, Louis certainly wouldnât let them have their way.
Louis didnât believe them at all and naturally wasnât afraid of being threatened.
âWant to fire me? You can try doing it if you have what it takes!â Louis exclaimed sneeringly.
His provocative attitude and taunting immediately made these former executives feel that their authority had been challenged.
âHah, youâre just a lowly secretary! What right do you have to be so arrogant in front of us?!â
âReece, immediately get this bastard fired and kicked out!â
âSure. Iâll notify the company staff right now and have him fired immediately!â
They glowered at Louis scornfully as the former director of the human resource department resolutely pulled out his phone and called to the office to have Louis fired.
They initially thought that Louis would panic and be uneasy. But to their surprise, Louis remained composed and stood still with his arms folded. He was even staring at them with contempt and derision in his eyes, as if he was looking at a bunch of clowns.
âWhat? Who am I? Canât you recognize my voice? Iâm Reece Jacobs, the director of the human resource department! What did you say? A new director was appointed yesterday, so you no longer have to take orders from me? Damn it. Do you also think that Iâll never be able to return to my job? Let me tell you, youâll be the first person I fire once I get back to the office later! Screw you!â Reece hung up furiously.
âReece, whatâs the matter? Are those scoundrels in the office disobeying you?â The other former executives gathered around Reece and asked in disbelief.
Reece was so enraged that his face flushed red. Feeling embarrassed, he hollered resentfully, âHmph, once I get back to the office later, I must teach them a lesson and fire all those fools who defy me!â
âReece, youâre right! We should really keep those employees in line when we go back! Letâs fire every single one of them who stood on William Carterâs side yesterday! There are numerous people applying for a job at our company anyway!â
âExactly. Itâs time I discipline my subordinates in the business department!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSame goes for the purchasing department Iâm in charge of!â
These former executives tried to comfort Reece and even imagined the scene of themselves establishing dominance and getting rid of those who disobeyed them back in the Solar Corporationâs Orange County branch office.
Standing right in front of them, Louis pursed his lips after hearing what they said.
At this juncture, an extremely ordinary-looking black Nissan sped over from a distance and came to a screeching halt in front of them.
The car doors opened, and William and Adrian stepped out of the driverâs seat and backseat respectively.
âWhy did you brake so quickly? Are you trying to kill me?â Adrian rebuked William relentlessly.
William pressed his lips together tightly and was about to tell Adrian to hurry up and settle the issue with Franco so that the goods in the warehouse could be dispatched and delivered on time. But he suddenly heard the voices of the former executives interrupting him.
âAdrian, youâre finally here!â
âAdrian, you have no idea how disrespectful those bastards at the office are to us now, even though itâs only been a day since we left the company!â
âThatâs right! Just now, Reece called his subordinates at the office but ended up being ridiculed by them. They said that you and all of us no longer have any rights to give them orders because weâve already been kicked out of the company! Atrocious, huh? We canât let such people continue working for the company any longer!â
âYeah, Adrian. When you return to the company, you must deal with those who disregarded you!â
âYes, thatâs right! And this secretary of William Carter over here is absolutely obnoxious. He mocked us right in our faces and even taunted us to fire him if we have what it takes. Adrian, you must fire him just based on this statement!â
...
Upon seeing Adrian, the former executives flocked toward him and began complaining to him as though he was their closest kin.
After hearing their complaints, Adrian said coldly with a sullen expression, âHmph, donât worry. Once I get to the office, Iâll kick all of those arrogant punks out!â
At this moment, a cargo truck loaded with goods that had passed the final inspections and administrative processes was driving toward the main road.
Adrian was astonished, and only then did he realize that the burly men originally blocking the entrances and exits of the warehouse were no longer around. Furthermore, the warehouseâs workers were also doing their jobs of loading the trucks with goods and dispatching them as per usual.
âDamn it! Who allowed them to start loading and dispatching goods? Didnât I already say that they have to wait for me to get here before the goods can be released? Whereâs Franco?â Adrian hollered in rage.
As soon as he said this, Jimmy and the other five former executives were stunned.
They had noticed that the warehouse had reopened when they arrived just now. But they didnât think much of it and merely assumed that Adrian and Franco had already achieved their goal, thus allowing operations to resume at the warehouse.
But according to what Adrian just said, Franco had apparently unblocked the exits and entrances without informing Adrian. They couldnât help wondering what was going on.
In contrast to their puzzlement, William sneered and seemed to have figured out something. He looked at Adrian and gibed, âTurns out everything that happened was your doing! You hired that scar-faced man to do that, didnât you?â
William had been suspecting this for a long time, but he finally heard Adrian admit to it now.
Adrian had no intention to hide it from William. Besides, since he had almost achieved his goal anyway, he wasnât afraid of letting William find out at all.
âYes, I was the one who did it. So what?! Let me tell you, I must become the general manager of the company! Otherwise, Iâll get Franco to come and block the warehouse every single day. In just a few days, the company will go bankrupt and shut down. Letâs see what will happen to you when the time comes!â Adrian said arrogantly.
âI donât know what will happen to him, but I know that youâll be the first to die without knowing why!â All of a sudden, an icy cold voice sounded behind the crowd.
Adrian was startled to hear the voice, and he hurriedly turned his head around, with the other former executives following suit. They stared nervously at the source of the voice.
Lucas, the young chairman of the company who often kept such a low profile that they even thought he was an impostor at one point, was standing right behind them expressionlessly!
