Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 480
Lea’s expression hardened. “Your grandfather has retired. I’m reminding you not to do things so ruthlessly. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not going easy on you.”
“I’m not sure what you mean by those words, but…”
Shaun suddenly took a remote control and turned on the big screen on the wall. The faces of a few major shareholders of Hill Corporation appeared clearly on the screen. “Excuse me, Mom. I was having a video call with the shareholders. They’ve heard everything you just said.”
Director Kennedy, who was the eldest among the shareholders, said, “Vice Director Hill, if we take back the 80 billion dollars, we could divide it among ourselves and we’d each have a few hundred million. Of course, we know that you’re rich and you don’t care. You can reject the money and just give it to us.”
Director Martin said sarcastically, “We understand that the Campos family is your husband’s family, so we turned a blind eye to your underlings in Hill Corporation back then. But we never knew the Campos family had taken 80 billion dollars. This is just too ridiculous.”
Director Morris harrumphed. “My son worked faithfully in the project department for decades. Even if he took some benefits for himself, he only took 400 to 500 million dollars. You, on the other hand, gave the Campos family 80 billion dollars for no reason. You’re always siding with the outsiders.”
Director Kennedy said, “Your son, William, signed another project with the Campos family again not long ago and gave up five percent of the profits to them. Luckily, Eldest Young Master Hill terminated the collaboration. Otherwise, the Campos family would have earned more than thousands of billions.”
Director Morris said, “We don’t need a vice director who always sides with the Campos family.”
Lea’s face became paler, and her body was trembling.
She had managed Hill Corporation for decades, and this was the first time these shareholders were criticizing her. “Gentlemen, I admit that I lent Campos Corporation a helping hand before, but it’s impossible that they took as much as 80 billion dollars. This is all made up by Shaun.”
Director Kennedy smiled. “I don’t think these allegations were made up from nowhere. The Campos family is most likely ambitious, so maybe even you were kept in the dark.”
“No way!” Lea did not believe it at all.
Shaun raised his head toward the screen and said, “Alright, shareholders. I’ll communicate this with my mom properly.”
“Thank you, Eldest Young Master Hill.”
The video call ended.
