Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1696 âYouâ¦â
âBesides, as the president, you refuse to follow the directorâs orders, and you go against us instead. I even suspect that you want to take over the company. Look at Hill Corporationâs top brass.
Theyâre all your people. Do you think any Tom, Dick, and Harry can come here and do as they please?â
Catherine enunciated each word with a tone so cold that it made Wadeâs facial muscles twitch and tremble.
Shaun had never seen Catherine so cold before, but this only made her look even more attractive. She was simply a cold beauty.
Wade sneered. âMs. Jones, not only do you want to dismiss me, but you want to get rid of all the executives I hired as well, right?â
âWhat if I do? Will you get lost?â
Catherine mocked, âPeople like you will stay here shamelessly anyway.â
Wade clenched his fists in anger.
âI know you wonât leave.â
Catherine said, âBut from tomorrow onward, Shaun will return to the company to assume the position of president. Youâve been demoted, but you donât have to feel unhappy about it. When the board of directors exercises its powers, a worker like you has no qualifications to say no.â
Then, she held Shaunâs hand and walked away.
When they got to the door, the sound of a cup smashing came from the inside.
Catherine gave Shaun a look.
Shaun immediately understood her. With that, he clenched his fists and turned around.
It was just in time for him to see Wade glaring at their backs ferociously and the shattered cup on the ground.
âWow. Not bad. â Shaun raised the eyebrows on his grim but handsome face. âItâs the first time Iâve seen a president daring enough to smash a cup and glare at the board of directors.â
âNo, I accidentally knocked the cup down, â Wade said coldly. âWhat? My facial muscles are twitching out of control too. I didnât do it on purpose. Did you see me do it?â
âItâs my first time seeing a worker whoâs more arrogant than the boss. Fine, you can get lost now. You donât have to come to the company tomorrow.â
Shaun snorted in disgust and pulled Catherine away.
However, along the way, the thought of Wadeâs face still disgusted him. âDo you think heâll leave tomorrow?â
Catherine smiled. âHavenât you heard the saying that itâs easier to invite the devil in than it is to send him away?â
âNoâ¦â Shaun shook his head firmly.
Catherine was speechless. She forgot that he had lost his memory. âHe wonât leave. Wesley mustâve bribed him and given him a lot of benefits, so he doesnât even need his dignity anymore. If you come to the company tomorrow, heâll definitely make the top management refuse to work with you. Even if you become the president, itâs just an empty seat.â
âThey can dream on if they want to make me a figurehead.â Shaunâs eyes flashed with anger. â Cathy, I think you have it too hard. Do you have to deal with these kinds of scum often? Donât worry. Sooner or later, Iâ ll trample over them and make them respect and revere you.â
Catherine turned around, and when she saw his serious expression, warmth filled her heart. â Shaunny, donât take it too seriously. After all, as long as Uncle Titus recovers the shares and stops Wesley and Jeffery from succeeding, Wade will be helpless. Heâs just a scoundrel.â âOkay. Cathy, I think Uncle Titus is quite impressive. â Shaun suddenly looked at her with a complicated gaze. âDo you admire him very much? You kept staring at his back when he left. It was as if you were reluctant to look away from him.â
