Chapter 306 A Sabotage
Currently, at Spinfluence Group. Conrad appeared at the company in the morning. He stood in front of Matthew’s desk and looked at Matthew, who was engrossed in work.
However, Matthew disregarded Conrad.
Thunk. Thunk. Thunk.
Conrad knocked his knuckles on the desk with a displeased expression. “Matthew, you’re Veronica’s god-brother. How do you plan to deal with this matter?”
As soon as Matthew heard Conrad’s question, Matthew didn’t even bother to lift his head. Matthew held a black pen in his hand and continued to scrawl his signature on a document on the desk. Subsequently, the former closed the document and lifted his head to look at Conrad. “Uncle Conrad, are you here because of this matter?”
“Her matter has become widely speculated and our company’s share prices have dropped significantly since the start of trading today and trading has now halted. The major shareholders of the company don’t dare approach you about this, so they’ve pressured me to deal with this. They’ve expressed their opinions and if you choose to stay out of this, I’ll be appointed to take sole charge of this matter,” Conrad expressed solemnly.
Matthew placed the document folder aside and leaned back in his chair lazily as he lifted both hands in the air. He revealed a wicked smile. “Uncle Conrad, do you wish to take sole charge of this matter or…”
Matthew paused and purposely dragged his voice. “Take sole charge of the company’s matters?”
“Are you just going to sit back and let Veronica’s issue fester and persist?”
Conrad stuck one hand into the pocket of his pants and clenched his fist with the other. He knocked the desk gently with his knuckles. “Her personal matter has had an adverse effect on our family and Spinfluence Group. Even if Old Mrs. Kings dotes on her very much, that doesn’t mean that everyone else in the family has to suffer the consequences because of her.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Matthew placed his elbows on the armrest of his work chair and used his fingers to support his temples. He looked relaxed, yet there was a slightly wicked aura that he gave off. “Uncle Conrad, do you have any suggestions on what to do?”
“Veronica’s close to you and everyone in Bloomstead knows this, so you should be the one to decide what to do.”
After Conrad said that, he added, “Of course, if you have no intention of dealing with this matter, you can just easily turn a blind eye to things. However, you would have to explain the situation to Old Mrs. Kings and the other major shareholders.”
“Okay, I have no problem explaining the situation to them.”
Matthew was quite nonchalant about this. “Uncle Conrad, could you please inform the shareholders and whoever requires an explanation from me to come here to see me if they want to? I’ll give them an explanation personally.”
“You!” Conrad didn’t expect Matthew to keep up with this ambiguous behavior, and the former was quite resigned.
“You keep trying to stay out of this, but have you spared a thought about Veronica for all the pressure that she’s facing from the public?”
“That’s her issue. It has nothing to do with me.”
“So does this mean you intend on severing all ties with her?”
“Uncle Conrad, why do you say so?” Matthew snorted derisively. “I’m just her god-brother. The only person linking the two of us is Grandma, so there are no ties to sever anyway. You’re being ridiculous here.”
Conrad moved the hand in his pocket and sneered coldly as he nodded. “Okay. I’ll go to the press and tell them what you’ve just told me so that our losses can be contained as soon as possible.”
After Conrad said that, he turned around and left.
Meanwhile, Matthew kept his eyes on Conrad’s retreating back, and the former lifted his dark eyes.
Half an hour later, Matthew’s and Conrad’s conversation was instantly posted on the internet, and the ‘Matthew-Veronica relationship’ was a source of interest for the public, so swiftly enough, the recording of the conversation became a trending topic.
As soon as Troy saw the trending news, he rushed into Matthew’s office immediately. “President Kings, take a look on Twitter…”
However, before Troy could complete his sentence, he heard the sound of a recording from the laptop on the table, “Uncle Conrad, why do you say so? I’m just her god-brother. The only person…”
