Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 322

This was definitely one of the lowest moments the company had ever been in.

Jacob looked at the two men in front of him and felt sad.

"What does the board of directors think of this matter? I need your opinion on how we are to deal with these men." Jacob gestured to the two men before him as he asked the others in the room. His tone was serious.

Both Kim and Allan trembled as they looked at the board members. Even though they already knew the result, they were still hoping that someone would speak up for them.

"Mr. Jacob, we think that it's best if you would make the decision. We appreciate that you informed us of the matter. But it is inappropriate for us to interfere. We believe that you will deal with this fairly, with the company's best interest in mind,"

said a seasoned member. He was one of the older board members, and served the longest. He echoed the members' thoughts on the matter. The board did not want to offend Jacob, nor did they want to further humiliate the men involved. But their main motive was to protect themselves and not meddle.

Kim and Allan felt disappointed. Jacob then stood up.

"In that case, these are my decisions. I will take over the shares of Kim and Allan. They will be removed as directors in the company. We will never employ or do business with them ever again. I will also take responsibility of explaining this matter to the other company. I will announce the result as soon as I am done. However, I will not disclose the process."

After his announcement, Jacob eyed everyone in the room who seemed relieved about his decision.

James squinted his eyes. At that moment, he finally figured out what Jacob was really up to. No wonder his nephew was calm and confident. Jacob even concealed his plan to him.

But his concealment was also the right decision. It only showed Jacob's wisdom and ingenuity in dealing with the problem.

"Does anyone have any question? Anyone?" Seeing that nobody spoke or objected, Jacob quickly added, "Alright then, it's done." The board of directors nodded their heads. But Jonathan had a hard expression in his face.

Kim and Allan didn't dare say anything. They made a huge mistake. They were lucky they wouldn't end up in jail. But their future was now in jeopardy.

Getting fired and their shares taken away was a major blow to their professional and personal lives. But their biggest problem was yet to come. They were still to face some vengeful people in their future.

"Of course, in order to not completely ruin their lives, I will do my best to help them with the current problems they are facing." Jacob looked at the two men. His eyes were cold. The directors silently agreed with him and nodded their heads.

Jonathan was livid inside. But he could not reveal his anger. If his anger got the better of him, other things could be exposed.

"That's settled then," Jacob said. "If there is nothing else, let's call it a day. Meeting adjourned, everyone."

The board stood up one by one and left the room. But Jonathan remained at his seat and glared at Jacob. Jacob looked back at Jonathan. He sensed that Jonathan wanted to have a word with him.

Jonathan stood up and said, "Watch your back. You were lucky this time. I'm not so sure about the next." Jonathan was fierce with his warning. James looked at him, his eyebrows raised.

"I don't know what you mean, Jonathan," Jacob said as he leaned back on his chair, ready to accept the challenge from his cousin.

"Just a fair warning. You know exactly what I mean," Jonathan said before walking out of the door.

After he left, James revealed the pen-recorder he was holding. "What do you think, Jacob? Should we make this public?"

Jacob shook his head. "There's no need for it, Uncle."
