I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 245

The shareholders’ meeting of the Shaw Group was a big event. Not only were the shareholders and senior executives of the group closely related to the meeting, but people from all walks of life were looking forward to it.

If the Shaw Group was a colossus, then Caden was the emperor standing at the top and looked down on all living beings.

There was nothing in this world that could make people sigh more than seeing a once unattainable emperor be beaten down and turn into nothing.

The Shaw Group.

In the conference room.

Many of the shareholders arrived early and sat upright at the round table.

After some noise, one of the shareholders, Darby Reed stood up and said, “Hello, Master Shaw.” Darby was sophisticated. He smiled and welcomed Hale. His gaze lingered on the young man beside Hale for a few seconds. “Master Shaw, this is your grandson, isn’t it? Last time on your birthday, I looked from afar and found he was so extraordinary.

I’m so lucky to be close to you today. It’s my honor to meet him.”

Darby’s tactfulness was known to all in the business circles.

Kern looked at Darby’s hand, lowered his eyes and smiled faintly. He reached out to hold it, but quickly let it go.

Darby was shocked. But soon he blinked. A genial smile appeared on his face again, and he still socialized with Kern.

Kern frowned slightly to hide a trace of boredom in his eyes.

He had heard of Darby.

To put it mildly, he was tactful. But he was a two-sided man who bent with the wind.

Three years ago, Darby helped Caden expel Hale from the Shaw Group.

Three years later, for the sake of profit, Darby would still change his mind … Darby took side of Hale in private. Hale had made an offer that he would not refuse. Once it was fulfilled, his career would be brighter.

Such a person was unfaithful, the same as the slave with three surnames in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. How could Kern try to get well along with him?

It was just a matter of face.

After exchanging greetings, Hale suddenly knitted his eyebrows. “What time is it?” He coughed twice before asking Sam behind him.

“It’s nine fifty-nine, Master Shaw.”

At ten o’clock, the meeting of the shareholders started.

Hale snorted, “If he doesn’t show up on time, it will be considered as a waiver.”
