Chapter 353 My Rules Are the Rules
Andrew was already furious, yet he still had to look at Paige's calm and superior expression, which made Andrew even angrier than exposing his crimes. "You set me up, you bastard who came out of nowhere, how dare you set me up?"
Andrew was caught off guard by Paige.
The things Xanthe Ellison had in her hands were enough to send him to prison for the rest of his life.
Just this alone was enough for Andrew to turn against her at this moment.
Paige naturally wouldn't tolerate Andrew's insults.
With just a look from her, Kimberly immediately stepped forward. "Mr. Andrew, please apologize for your words and actions immediately. Otherwise, your charges will include defamation!"
Andrew sneered, "You're trying to scare me? You dare to go against me behind my back. Do you know who you've provoked? The Universe Group of Arcadia rightfully belongs to me. My family has managed the Universe Group for three generations. Without us, this group might have been taken over long ago. I'm telling you, no one can take the Universe Group from me. I'll show you what it means to anger a sleeping lion."
Andrew kicked away the clutter on the floor and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, before he could leave the office, a group of black-clad bodyguards had already entered from outside.
And they were clearly not his men.
The black-clad bodyguards blocked Andrew's way.
Andrew immediately turned to look at Xanthe Ellison, who had already walked into the CEO's office and was standing in front of the CEO's chair.
Andrew said impatiently, "Xanthe Ellison, are you declaring war on me?"
Paige turned to look at Andrew. "Mr. Andrew, you misunderstand the concept of war. This is not a war, this is a house cleaning! Because you are not qualified to go to war with me. Have you forgotten my last name?"
Andrew was deeply humiliated by Paige's words.
Ever since the last head of the Ellison family, Wesley Ellison, passed away more than a decade ago, the Ellison family's business disintegrated overnight and was managed separately.
Given enough time, all those managing these companies would eventually turn the business into their private property.
But now, Andrew was just one step away from success.
He didn't expect an heir of the Ellison family to emerge, crushing his dream of success just before it was realized and dragging his high status through the mud.
How could Andrew tolerate this?
Andrew said, "Who exactly are you? When Mr. Ellison was alive, he never mentioned having any descendants. But after his death for so many years, you suddenly appear. I now have reasonable doubts about your identity being fake!"
Paige found Andrew's noise annoying.
At this moment, she no longer needed to waste words with him.
Paige glanced at Julian and said, "He's too noisy!"
Julian immediately took action.
He and his subordinates directly lifted Andrew and took him to a nearby room to be guarded.
Paige looked around the office and ordered, "Seal this office temporarily. No one is allowed to touch the documents inside!"
The documents inside were all evidence.
Andrew was locked in the room with no way to escape.
Here, he was considered an important figure. But Xanthe Ellison had caught him off guard, so at this moment, he could only be controlled.
Paige knew this too. Andrew's family had been entrenched here for generations, and now she had to strike quickly and catch him off guard!
If Andrew had time to prepare, things would be much more complicated.
Julian's men guarded Andrew.
On the other side, Paige directly held a meeting as the global CEO of the Universe Group, retaining all evidence of Andrew's crimes and dismissing him from his CEO position.
At the meeting, the people from the Arcadia branch of the Universe Group saw for the first time the new generation heir of the Ellison family, the global CEO of the Universe Group, Xanthe Ellison!
After the meeting, Paige went to the room where Andrew was being held.
Andrew seemed to have bipolar disorder. After being locked in the room, he had destroyed everything that could be destroyed.
When Paige entered the room, Julian saw the mess inside and immediately followed her in, afraid that Andrew might attack Paige.
She was pregnant now, and if anything happened, he wouldn't be able to be an uncle!
Andrew indeed wanted to attack Paige.
But seeing Julian standing by her side, he knew his little combat skills would definitely suffer if he made a move now.
He already knew that before Mr. Ellison died, he had raised a group of orphans, secretly trained them, and their combat skills were exceptional.
Andrew spoke up, "Xanthe Ellison, do you think taking my CEO position means you've gained control of the Arcadia branch of the Universe Group? You underestimate my arrangements over the years. If I didn't have backing, would I dare to take over the Universe Group?"
Andrew added, "I'm telling you, my goal has never been just a small branch. You don't understand my ambition, and you're not worthy of understanding! Let me out, or restricting personal freedom in Arcadia will be a very serious matter."
Paige lightly nudged the things Andrew had destroyed with the heel of her high heels. "Embezzling billions of dollars in public funds is a much more serious crime than restricting personal freedom. Mr. Andrew, have you thought it through?"
Andrew yelled, "What do you want? Keeping me here, what else do you want? Send me in? My family has worked diligently for the Ellison family for generations. How can you treat me like this?"
Paige shook her head, "At this point, let's not talk about diligence. Let's talk about whether your future will be spent in prison or in a scenic place."
Andrew was confused. "What do you mean? You're not going to pursue it?"
Paige replied, "I want to see the people behind you who conspired with you!"
Paige's condition wasn't difficult.
But Andrew was very shocked and immediately refused. "Absolutely impossible!"
Paige asked, "So, there's no possibility of cooperation between us?"
Andrew said, "Xanthe Ellison, you can't keep me here. If I don't go home by the end of the day, my subordinates will immediately come to check on my safety. Do you think this is Northwind? Remember, this is Arcadia. The rules of Northwind don't apply here."
Paige replied, "Andrew, remember, whether it's Northwind or Arcadia, I canuse my own rules."
With that, Paige leaned closer to Andrew. "Follow my rules, and you can walk out. Don't follow my rules, and let your people carry you out!"
