Saniogo smiled faintly. How could he not know what his son meant? "Don't worry. I haven't reached the point where I don't know right from wrong yet. Besides, I like Cecil very much. She is not scheming and she is very generous. Few women are truly like this."
"Yes, this is also why I like her." Alexander lowered his head as he listened to Saniogo's words. There was a faint glow in his eyes.
Saniogo chuckled and said, "Let's go out. We can't just ignore the others and talk to each other here."
"That won't happen," a female voice came from outside.
Both of them were stunned and looked at the door at the same time. Cecil pushed the door open and walked in with a faint smile on her face. "I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. The servant said that she wanted to call you two for supper."
"You heard it."
"You praised me, but I didn't hear anything else. What did you say about me?" Cecil widened her eyes and asked curiously.
Alexander and Saniogo looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Alexander chuckled and said, "I just want to know when I can propose to you," Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Cecil's face suddenly turned red and she bowed her head without saying anything. He saw that she was shy and did not tease her. "Let's head down and have supper."
"You may leave for now. I'll take care of some matters first," Saniogo waved his hand and told the two of them to leave first.
Without saying anything, Cecil and Alexander turned and walked out.
In the dining room, she said to him "I heard what you said before. What did Lugman mean?"
"What do you mean? Don't worry about it. I'll solve it as long as I'm here," he said indifferently, picking up the food for her.
Looking at his behavior, her eyes sank and she did not ask any more questions.
The next day, Everleigh came to the hospital for work. Xavier was fine, and he was ready to be discharged.
"Xavier, when you go back, you must restrain your temper, do you understand?" She exhorted.
He nodded. He would pay attention to it.
"I won't let anything bad happen to me."
"Your brother will pick you up from the hospital later. I still have a lot of things to do today, so I can't send you off," she said as she filled in the casebook.
He understood. Just as Everleigh was about to leave, Theodore appeared with Moses and Yantsey to help him pack up.
On the road, the four of them did not speak, but Xavier kept staring at the computer.
"You can have a look once you get back," Theodore said in a deep voice.
"You already knew, didn't you?"
"Just a little earlier than you."
Xavier smiled; he raised his head and looked at Theodore. "How can I forget? My brother will not be easily manipulated. You know it clearly. I believe that your people have already penetrated into the bones of Godfrey Group,"
"Don't say such words. After all, my shares belong to Godfrey Group. Am I in the position to ignore this matter?" Theodore replied in a self-righteous manner. He didn't feel guilty in the slightest.
Hearing this, Xavier felt uneasy. It seemed that Godfrey Group was torn apart. It was impossible to manage it well.
When he returned to the villa, Xavier couldn't help but be impulsive. He looked into Godfrey Group's finances to take a sum of working capital, and deliberately left a little clue for Wilson.
He couldn't take the money away without telling his parents. That would not be good.
Theodore looked at his actions and didn't say anything. However, he knew that trouble would follow. Xavier must have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
Sure enough, Wilson soon found out about the funds. He knew that it had been taken away by Xavier.
He was so angry that he smashed the office's computer.
"This brat has the nerve to move the company's working capital."
"Mr. Godfrey, we need money for our next project. What should we do?" The secretary asked with concern. If they hadn't needed the money, they would not know that the money had been taken away.
Wilson's face was gloomy, and his face was red with anger.
"Will the board of directors be summoned tomorrow?"
"Yes," the secretary answered truthfully.
"Tell Xavier to come over." Wilson had no choice but to approach him. He could only ask him to come over in the name of the meeting.
Xavier received the notice with a smile on his face. He knew that Wilson would panic. Fortunately, the people who had been arranged before were all there. Now, it seemed that they had a role to play.
"Mr. Xavier, are we going to attend tomorrow?" Yantsey asked.
"Yes. Why not?" Xavier couldn't wait for this opportunity. He wouldn't miss it, but before he left, he had to call Theodore. He had to give an explanation the following day. Now that Wilson had more shares than him, he didn't have much chance of winning.
Theodore didn't speak for a moment after receiving the call. "I'll go with you tomorrow,"
"Okay," Xavier readily agreed as well.
With his brother by his side, he would present better.
The next day, Theodore and Xavier came to the meeting room of Godfrey Group. Many shareholders had already taken their seats. When they saw the two brothers, they were stunned. What was even more surprising was that Xavier had woken up. They hadn't paid much attention to him before.
Xavier looked at the unfamiliar faces, and his heart was full of irony. "It seems that there were more people involved when I was in a coma. I don't even know them," he said softly.
Theodore spoke coldly, "When there's a new emperor, change is bound to happen." They were not familiar with the people besides the ones who were under them.
Two batches of people had been changed out.
This was all Wilson's doing. He made sure to change the people to those whom he trusted.
The other shareholders saw the two former CEOs arrive. They knew the meeting would not be peaceful at all.
When Wilson came over, he didn't expect Theodore to be there as well. His heart skipped a beat, and an ominous feeling welled up in his heart.
"What are you doing here?"
"I also have shares here. Since you want all the people who hold shares to come over for a meeting, I am not an exception," Theodore explained with confidence. It was obvious that there was nothing wrong with his presence.
Without saying a word, Wilson could only accept him being there.
The meeting was about someone taking away the working capital, and the first person to start the
meeting was the finance department.
"How does your finance department manage the money? Why was the capital taken away so easily?"
"We have followed the normal procedures. There is nothing wrong with it," the manager of the finance department said righteously. It was clear that the department didn't take his accusation seriously.
Xavier and Theodore sat off to the side. They could say whatever they wanted, just like outsiders.
When Wilson saw this, he couldn't control his anger. "The money is all in Xavier's hands. Although you are also the president, you have no right to take away this money."
"You have accepted that I'm one of the presidents, so why can't I take it away?"
