Chapter 680 What Are You Guys Trying To Do?
On the other side, there were more than a dozen board members and shareholders.
Since Roland and Marty had grown up, Buckley delegated several responsibilities to Roland.
He, on the other hand, was in a semi-retired state.
As a result, even though all of the major shareholders attended today's meeting, Roland would be the host.
Everyone had no objection to this matter.
After all, Roland's abilities were on par with Buckley's, and he was even slightly capable.
Everyone was also quite convinced by him. In addition, Buckley had already intended to hand over the business to Roland a long time ago. Even though he didn't say so, everybody knew Roland was the Blaine family's heir.
As a result, when everyone noticed that he wasn't feeling well, they couldn't help but be concerned, not knowing what had happened.
Just then, several shareholders' phones buzzed.
They sneaked it out, and their expressions couldn't help but change when they saw it.
Despite Roland's attempts to prevent the news from reaching the public, the accident occurred during the day after all, and worse, it happened on the main road.
The media might be afraid of the Blaine Group and therefore refused to report it, but some bystanders were unconcerned.
Furthermore, since the major shareholders had their own sources of information, it was challenging to keep this news hidden from them.
It was also because of this that Charlotte immediately called Roland after learning of the accident. She wouldn't even let him go to the hospital. Instead, she suggested that he remain in the company and help stabilize the situation.
"Something happened to the chairman!" someone exclaimed, standing up with a pale face.
"What?"
When the rest of the people who hadn't read the news heard it, they couldn't help but be stunned. They were all taken aback by the person who was speaking.
The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was Blaine Group's second-largest shareholder.
His face was glum at this point. He then gave Roland a serious look and said in a deep tone, "Mr. Blaine, can we end here first for today's meeting? Since the chairman had a car accident, we can't leave him alone. Everyone should go to the hospital first."
As soon as he finished his words, all the people present burst into an uproar.
Immediately, someone asked anxiously, "What? Was it a car accident?"
"Yes, I've just got the news. He's now in the operating room, and it's unclear whether he's alive or dead, according to what I've heard!"
"Yes. I've also received the news. Since such a major accident has happened to the chairman, of course, we should go and have a look. Why are you guys still here? Let's go quickly."
As he spoke, he was about to leave with a group of people.
However, it was at this moment that Roland spoke.
He was neither anxious nor enraged. Instead, he asked in an almost idle tone, "What are you guys trying to do?"
Everyone in the room was taken aback and turned around.
Roland, on the other hand, sat in the chair with his legs crossed as he looked at them.
There was a mocking look in his eyes, as well as the coldness that would make one retreat.
Everyone was flabbergasted by his imposing aura and instantly held their tongues.
"We just want to visit the chairman at the hospital," someone answered after a while.
"Visit the chairman?"
Roland narrowed his eyes slightly. "Are you guys doctors? What can you do there? Or, in fact, you don't care about my Dad, but are worried that if something happens to him, the company's claim will fall into the wrong hands."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room suddenly fell into silence.
All just stared at each other, not daring to say anything.
Only Mr. Synder, who was the first to speak just now, stood up when he saw this.
"That's not a nice thing to say, Mr. Blaine. What exactly do you mean when you say we're not concerned about the chairman? We have known the chairman for more than 20 years. Even if we are really inhuman, we worked with the chairman together when we were younger. Our friendship can't be fake."
"You are the son of the chairman, and he is lying in the hospital with severe injuries. If you don't want to see him, that's fine, but how can you stop us? Don't you think it's unfair to do so?"
This sentence was excellent.
He not only demonstrated his care and loyalty toward Buckley, but he also hinted at Roland's ambition.
Furthermore, it was appropriate if they did not visit Buckley, but it was unacceptable for Roland.
Roland raised his eyes to Mr. Synder, a cold smile on his face and slightly narrowed eyes.
"Really? In that case, just take it as I'm the one who stops you from visiting my Dad. Anyway, he only has two sons, and he can't bear to blame us. Mr. Synder, today is a good day for you to take a break from work. Don't worry. I will take the responsibility if my Dad blames you."
Mr. Synder suddenly froze.
His face had turned pale for a brief moment.
The other directors frowned and expressed their dissatisfaction with Roland's response when they saw it.
Roland didn't care about them at all but directly ordered Quan next to him, "Take the best coffee bean from my father's office and make coffee for the directors. Many people are irritated today. I believe that drinking coffee would put you all in a better mood."
When the assistant heard this, he responded in a low voice and turned around.
It didn't take long to make the coffee.
The exquisite cups were placed in front of everyone, and each of them was given a cup of coffee. Roland, of course, had one in front of him as well.
He looked at the fragrant coffee and took a sip.
The rest of them were enraged for a moment when they saw this situation, but they didn't dare to say anything.
However, they noticed the door had been guarded as they turned around, and they were unable to leave the conference room.
In any case, Buckley was only undergoing an operation at the time, and it was not critical. Hence, despite their dissatisfaction in their hearts, they did not dare to be openly aggressive at this time.
In the end, they had no choice but to sit down unwillingly.
And on the other side, in the hospital.
By the time Marty arrived at the hospital, Buckley had not yet emerged from the operating room.
In the empty corridor, there was only Charlotte sitting there and a woman next to her. He soon recognized that it was Sue, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
However, he did not have time to ask so much. "Mom, how is Dad?" he asked after quickly running a few steps.
Charlotte looked up at him, and there was no emotion on her face. "He hasn't come out yet. I don't know the details."
At her words, Marty frowned deeply.
Seeing this, Sue kindly comforted him, "Buckley is a lucky man. He will definitely be fine. Marty, don't worry too much."
Marty glanced at Sue before turning to face Charlotte. Then, he couldn't help but ask, "Mom, why are you guys together?"
