"Try to prove it then!" Kevin echoed with a smirk as he crossed his legs. It was so obvious that he wasn't taking the situation seriously.
Kim loathed the casual attitude of the man before him.
Suddenly, he released a domineering aura around him. His eyes looked at Kevin from head to toe. Then, he turned around and left.
He was not a contentious type. He would prove himself using his abilities.
While watching Kim leave, Kevin curled his lips into a smile. 'It's time to know which one of us is more capable!
Let's test each other to the limit!'
Then, he also got to his feet and was about to leave. The shareholders also stood up with eyes filled with guilt. Although some of them wanted to tell him something, they could only sigh helplessly.
When he saw this, Kevin let out a deep breath. "It looks like you want to tell me something but are held back by some unknown reason. Fine. Let me tell you something."
Everyone else exchanged confused glances. When they noticed that Kevin sat again, they also took their seats.
"Mr. Collins, you've been a part of this company for so many years. I once wanted to buy your shares. Unfortunately, you told me in a firm tone that you would never sell them!
However, you let Kim buy them!" While shaking his head, Kim glared at one of the shareholders.
The man grew anxious. He met Kevin's glare and let out a helpless sigh.
A chuckle escaped Kevin's mouth. "I've dealt with Cory for a long time now. Naturally, I know him better than you. I already have an idea of how he plans to deal with you guys. When he contacted you, I immediately knew about it. I thought that some of you would ask me for help or advice. Unfortunately, it seems like I overestimated myself."
Everyone felt embarrassed and lowered their heads.
"Some of you did it for money while the others did it to ensure your family's safety. However, I have little regard for your reason. In the end, you still double-crossed me. More precisely, all of you betrayed the company!
I understand that Cory's promise is very tempting. Nonetheless, I know you already have an idea what will happen once he controls the company." Kevin tapped his finger on the table. His eyes became deeper and more focused.
"It took two generations of our Fu Family to establish the AN Group. There's no way I will hand it to Kim. No matter what, I will defeat him. For the rest of you, reflect on your disgraceful actions.
Everyone will be selfish in front of calamities. That's why I won't blame any of you. However, do you still think you deserve to be shareholders of the company you betrayed?" After his speech, Kevin turned around and walked away without looking back.
'I don't care if those shareholders withdrew their investment. I don't care if the worst comes to the worst.
In hindsight, I might be crazy.
However, none of them matters. Those people aren't needed in the group. I will maintain the perseverance of our Fu Family!'
Meanwhile, everyone in the meeting room let out a helpless sigh and awkwardly looked at each other.
Despite all the glory they got from the group, they all opted for betrayal. They reflected on why they did it. One reason they had was that Cory forced them. Another was the benefits he offered them.
As such, they listened to Kevin and thought about it more carefully.
When Kevin arrived home, he saw Anne sitting on the sofa. She got to her feet and asked in a worried tone, "What's going on with the group?"
With a chuckle, he pulled her into his embrace.
As they saw the couple, the servants walked away to provide privacy. With her face flushed red, Anne playfully hit Kevin's arm. "Don't act like that in front of the servants."
"Why shouldn't I? You're my lovable wife after all." A sweet smile flashed across his lips.
In front of that reason, Anne felt helpless and dropped the argument. Then, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, what happened?"
"It seems successful. Kim made a bet against me. Everything is going according to plan," Kevin answered in a low voice. There was a hint of exhaustion in his tone.
Then, he tightly embraced her. A warm sensation spread across Anne's heart as she lay in his arms and listened to his heartbeats. "Even spouses care only about themselves in the face of calamities. Self-preservation is part of human nature. Don't dwell too much on it."
"Ha-ha!" Kevin let out a snicker. Since he was in a good mood, he kissed her forehead. "I'm just planning my next move. It's not like I care about those shareholders.
Even though the group brought them glory and money, they treated us like a cash machine. Those bastards forgot their obligations and responsibilities.
To be honest, I've always wanted to have another group of shareholders instead of them. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a suitable opportunity. But now, such a chance just presented itself!"
Although she nodded, Anne let out a sigh in her heart. If they changed shareholders at this time, they would only make the already bad situation worse.
Nonetheless, she believed that Kevin could solve the problem!
There was no need for her to worry about the situation. All she had to do was to believe in her husband.
"We're headed to W City early tomorrow morning." With a gentle pat on her back, he said in a serious voice, "Come with me!"
Selma and their children were safe since they were abroad. The only vulnerable person right now was Anne. Kevin would only feel at ease if she was with him.
With a nod, her eyes grew cold and grim. 'Kim, if you want to fight, we'll fight you to the end!'
Meanwhile, Kim was drinking coffee. He placed the cup in front of him and revealed a disgusted expression. In a disdainful tone, he said. "It tastes horrible."
"Well, I'm just a shareholder of a small company. There's no way I can afford a luxurious lifestyle. For now, this is the best coffee I can afford. Stop being picky," the man across him joked in a gentle voice. However, there was a touch of softness in it.
With indifferent eyes, Kim raised his head and stared at the man.
