Chapter 336 Hunter Gets His Comeuppance, Left with Nothing
Since her falling out with Martin, Charlotte had moved out of the Ellenstein Villa District, using the last of her savings to rent a modest studio apartment nearby.
She kept calling Hunter, tirelessly.
Her calls went through, but Hunter continuously ignored them without the mercy of turning off his phone, leaving her hanging.
In the US.
At the Miller Group Corporation.
The CEO's Office.
Crowds, crowds surged into the CEO's office, blocking the entrance completely.
Ever since the crisis, the Miller Group had stumbled, unable to recover. Partners clamored to terminate contracts, leaving the once-mighty corporation in an unprecedented mess.
James locked his office door from the inside.
Leading shareholders like Davis Sadie Davis couldn't get in, pounding on the door feverishly.
"Hunter, open the door! !" the shareholders shouted. "Do you think hiding will make all this go away? Look at the mess you've made of the company!. Open up; we need to strategize immediately," yelled the shareholders.!"
Another chimed in,. "Yeah, Mr. Miller, retreating isn't solving anything. This situation is huge, and our company is in jeopardy if we don't address it now, our company is in jeopardy."
"Do you have any ideaknow how many companies are circling us like sharks right now? If we don't come up with a solution, we're going to getwe'll be taken over."
"Our products have been pulled from shelves worldwide. Every retailer is demanding returns and compensation for their losses. What are we supposed to do now? You've got to make some decisions!. Hiding out isn't going to cut it!"."
Their words fell on Hunter's ears without missing a beat.
Hands on hips, Hunter paced the office, visibly seething.
James said, "The leaked formula that day was mostly slander and forgeries. ." James said, "There's definitely a rival stirring the pot behind the scenes. And people, well, they only believe what they want to believe, ignoring our side of the story."
Hunter's handsome face twisted in frustration,. "What's the point of bringing that up now? EvenThey won't believe us even if we show them the real formula, they won't believe us."
What mattered more was that revealing the complete formula would be like laying all of the Miller Group's cards on the table.
They would lose all their edge in the cosmetics and skincare industry.
Their rise to the top relied solely on superior technology and their secret ingredient mix – it was their ace in the hole.
James looked downcast, his gaze falling to the floor in silence.
Impatiently, Hunter asked, "Are the lab results in? ?" Hunter asked impatiently. "A report from an independent testing facility would be far more convincing than any formula we release."
James nodded,. "They're on their way. But..." he hesitated, then added truthfully,. "I don't think it's going toit will make much of a difference."
Hunter's Hunter pursed his lips thinned into a line, his features set into an icy glare, cold and intimidating.
At that moment, theThe office door burst open.
A crowd poured in, filling the spacious office to the brim.
Sadie Davis Sadie never missed an opportunity to confront Hunter, and she went straight for him, delivering a slap acrossslapping his face.
"Smack..."
Hunter's head jerked to one side, a crimsonred handprint marking his bronze skin.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
The previously clamorous office fell into a sudden, stunned silence.
No one expected her to lash out like that in full view of everyone. They inhaled sharply, hearts in their throats, too afraid to make a sound.
The left side of Hunter's face burned. He pressed his tongue against the cut on his lip. A dark and foreboding muffled laugh crawled up from his throat, sending a shiver down one's spine.
He pressed his tongue against the cut on his lip and then, surprisingly, he laughed.
A muffled laugh crawled up from his throat, dark and foreboding, sending a shiver down the spine.
Davis Sadie's breath hitched, legsand she instinctively steppinged back.
Just as she was about to give up, William nudged her from behind,. "Moma, this is our shot to dethronetopple him. We can't miss it."
Bolstered by his nudge, Davis Sadie stood her ground.
"Hunter, if you can't cut it, then step down and let someone else take the reins. Look what you've done to the company!. If you keep running things, bankruptcy is just around the corner."
Hunter locked his gaze on the big woman before him, short and plump, his pupils shrinking in fierce resolution.
Just as DavisAs Sadie braced for his fury, he spread his hands and shrugged nonchalantly,. "Fine!. I'll take the hit for my poor decisions and resign today!"."
Caught off guard by the ease of this turn, Davis Sadie eyed him suspiciously.
"You're... you're really stepping down?"
With a tight-lipped smile, Hunter replied, "Effective today, I'm stepping down. Time to find someone capable for the job."
Without looking back, heHe walked away without another look.
Davis Sadie stood there, dumbfounded, "...??"
, William, equally taken aback, "...??"
Alland all the shareholders, "...??" stood there, dumbfounded.
Watching him leave, James saw no reason to stay behind and hurried to catch up, squeezing into the elevator just as the doors were about to close.
Hunter wasn't too surprised by James's loyalty. James was his protégé, whom he raised, and was loyal to his core.
After all, he was a protégé, raised by Hunter's own hand, loyal to the core.
Driving away from the Miller Group, Hunter sped through the streets.
James, riding shotgun, clutched the seat belt and asked tremulously, "Mr. Miller, are you really just handing over the company to Sadie Davis Sadie?"
Hunter flashed a sly grin,. "If she wants it, she can have it!. Let's see if she can steer us clear of disaster."
In a flash, James got his meaning.
Hunter continued,. "This crisis has hit the Miller Group like never before. Instead of joining forces with me to tackle the challenge, she's after power. Lack of foresight—that's her problem. Now, let'sLet's see how she plans to save the Miller Group from this mess."
"And if she can't?" James asked.
Hunter flashed a wicked grin, determination glinting in his eyes,. "Then she'll be the eternal scapegoat for the Miller Group!. Sure, my management may have led us to the brink, but it's under her watch that it'll crumble."
James, anxiously, inquired, "Can you really bear to watch the Miller Group, which you've built with your own hands, go down like this?" James anxiously inquired.
The conversation came to a halt.
With a screech, athe Ferrari pulled up to the curb.
Hunter pulled outlit a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag. He fishedThen he pulled out his phone and dialed a number he hadn't contacted in ages.
"Trouble again?"The phone was answered by a woman's voice.
"Trouble again?"
Hunter's long fingers tapped gently on the steering wheel, a. A sly smirk forminged as he chuckled mockingly, a hint of scorn twinkling in his narrowed eyes.
