They threatened him, and then they humiliated him!
Bernardo Delgado was so dizzy with anger that he began to breathe fast and his face flushed as if he were about to faint.
Amber pretended she didn’t understand that he was upset about Jared’s behavior. She brushed her hair at her ears and added, “Mr. Delgado, relax. I know my decision to kick you out of Goldstone Co. is going to be hard on you. But I had no choice. Only one of us can stay at Goldstone Co., and I am the chairman of Goldstone Co., and I own the most shares, so I’m not the one leaving. Well, if it’s not me, it must be you, Mr. Delgado. Well, I wouldn’t have thought of it, even if you were secretly setting me up, but I’m not gonna do anything to you, Mr. Delgado, because you’ve been working hard for Goldstone Co. But…”
Amber’s smile faded and she turned cold, “But everyone’s tolerance is limited. You know, I was gonna let you stay at the office if you just pulled back a little bit, but you’ve gone way too far, using my background, bringing out my parents, and driving a wedge between Jared and me. You have worn out all my tolerance for you now, so I can no longer tolerate you, you must be removed. Although you own some shares, and I can’t just fire you, as chairman, I have ways to trap you into selling your shares. As soon as your shares are gone!”
Amber stopped and didn’t say the rest.
But her point was clear.
Without shares, he was not a shareholder, just an ordinary employee.
As the chairman of the board, Amber could easily fire a regular employee.
Bernardo Delgado certainly did not doubt that Amber could not do it, but with a pale face he made a final effort, “Amber, how dare you!”
“How dare I?” Amber lifted her chin slightly and said coldly, “Remember, I am the chairman of Goldstone Co., and you are just a shareholder. I let you be the general manager of the group just for the sake of the past, it does not mean that you can do whatever you want as the elder statesman of the group. You disregarded me as the chairman, and you conspired with Braylee to bring me down again and again. I have spared you so many times, just to give you a chance to behave yourself, stop making trouble and do you job as the general manager. I can let bygones be bygones, but I think it’s wrong. People like you don’t sit still. My repeated forbearance only makes you think I’m someone who can be bullied. You think I really dare not do anything to you, so you are more and more rampant.”
Amber’s face turned red as she spoke.
Jared patted her on the back, telling her to calm down and not get all worked up over a piece of garbage.
Amber sensed his message and realized that she had been emotionally overwhelmed. Taking a deep breath, she calmed down a bit, “But now I see I was wrong. I should have just shut you down the first time you joined up with Braylee, so you wouldn’t have had a chance to show up and disgust me today. But it doesn’t matter if it’s a little late. It’s not too late for me to wake up. So, for now, Mr. Delgado, make the most of your last time at the group. I told you, the best way to get back at someone is to make their life a living hell. I’m waiting to see how miserable you are when you get kicked out of Goldstone Co. and never get it.”
With that, she gave Jared a look as Bernardo Delgado watched in horror.
Jared nodded and hit the elevator door button.
The elevator opened with a ding to the lobby of Goldstone Co.’s first floor.
In fact, the elevator had come to the ground floor a long time ago, just in order to confront Bernardo Delgado, she pressed the close button when the elevator reached the ground floor.
Therefore, after the elevator reached the first floor, it did not open.
Now, away from Bernardo Delgado, Amber got out of the elevator and smelled the air, and suddenly felt better.
It was good not to breathe the same air with a scumbag.
Watching Amber relax, Jared pulled the door open for her.
Amber bent over to get into the car.
Jared suddenly stopped her.
“What’s wrong?” Amber put one foot in the car and then came out again, looking curiously at the man.
He also looked at her, “What you just said to Bernardo Delgado in the elevator, aren’t you afraid Bernardo Delgado might take it out on you?”
Bernardo Delgado was so intent on getting Goldstone Co., he had her in his sights all along.
