Chapter 635
"I have encountered many devious people, but I have never seen someone as cunning as you. Peace Group was created by all of us. How could you deceive us like this? You completely lack moral integrity."
Another director admonished, "You're still young, don't be so ruthless. Always leave room for maneuvering, or else you won't even know how you met your end." Cassie found herself in the eye of a storm, facing a barrage of criticism from a group of irate shareholders. Their fingers pointed accusingly at her, their words sharp as daggers.With a calm that belied the tension in the room, Cassie took a leisurely sip of her tea and placed the cup back on the table with a resounding clink. The sound echoed in the room, slicing through the cacophony and bringing an abrupt silence.She lifted her gaze to meet the hostile eyes around the room. "I had no intention of being ruthless," she began, her voice steady. "At our first meeting upon my return, I made it clear that this company does not bear the name Huo. Yet, how did you all respond? You treated Joseph and Megan like gods."She paused, her gaze turning icy. "Just a few days ago, in the company lobby, Joseph and Megan pointed fingers at me, berating me in front of everyone. And you, the shareholders, groveled at their feet like dogs, even going so far as to tell me to leave. If you're so fond of flattering Joseph and Megan, I suggest you go find them yourselves."Edward muttered under his breath, "We didn't want to offend them, for the sake of the company. Had I known you'd found a construction company willing to work with us, would I have stooped so low? Everything I did was for the company."Another voice chimed in, "That's right. We've been through hell and high water for this company over the past three years. Where were you?"A threat hung in the air, "If you don't return our shares today, don't even think about leaving this room." Cassie's lips curled into a smile. "Is that so? I'm quite curious to see how you plan to keep me here." At her signal, over twenty security guards filed into the room, forming a human barrier around the group of shareholders.The shareholders, the youngest among them in their forties and fifties, were visibly taken aback by this show of force. Their earlier bravado seemed to shrink in the face of this unexpected development, their arrogance deflating by the second.
