But Brody felt that this wasn't his concern. It had nothing to do with Camille or him personally. After all, Armstrong Corp was now nominally under Horace's control, and he was merely a dividend-earning shareholder.
So Brody made it clear that he had removed himself from the situation entirely. He even stated, "The statement I published on my personal account is my personal matter. I haven't mentioned Armstrong Corp in the slightest. Now that Armstrong Corp is affected, you can't blame it on me!"
Horace found Brody's logic somewhat amusing. He asked, "So, your implication is that you have no connection to anything that happens to Armstrong Corp, correct?"
"Exactly!"
"Does that mean I can dissolve Armstrong Corp without involving you?"
"Are you trying to dissolve Armstrong Corp? Horace, do you even know what you're saying? Armstrong Corp may have the largest share of stocks in your hands, but that doesn't mean you can make decisions on your own." Brody's tone was defiant.
Horace remained calm. He said, "I understand your point, but the current situation at Armstrong Corp is clear for everyone to see. While you claim no connection to Armstrong Corp, the evidence suggests otherwise. If you continue to be involved with Armstrong Corp, there's only one outcome for the company."
"What do you mean?"
"My point is simple: sell all your shares to me. If Armstrong Corp's problems are resolved and no further significant losses occur, I will compensate you from your interests. However, if the losses exceed an amount that neither you nor I can handle, I will take legal action, and you will have to comply with the court's decision, whether you like it or not."
Horace's words left Brody silent. His face slightly changed, and he wanted to say something more, but before he could speak, a servant came to report, "Mr. Simpson, Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley have arrived with several bodyguards. They want to see you and Mrs. Simpson."
Horace overheard the servant's words and decided to end the call himself. He said, "Since you have other matters to attend to, I won't disturb you. Contact me when you've made your decision."
With that, Horace disconnected the call.
Brody stared at his phone, which had been hung up, his expression turning cold and chilling. Once again, he heard the servant's voice, "Sir? Should I let them in?"
Brody's face darkened considerably as he glanced at the servant. His gaze was so sharp it could cut steel.
He looked at the servant and said, his voice indifferent, "Let them in."
He had a feeling that if he refused to meet with the Wesley family at this critical moment, something else might happen.
The servant quickly ushered Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley into the room, accompanied by three bodyguards, while the driver waited in the car. The burly bodyguards crowded the spacious living room, making it seem somewhat cramped.
Brody narrowed his eyes and looked at them. He spoke indifferently, "What is the meaning of this? It's late, and you bring all these people to my home, Mr. Wesley and Mrs. Wesley. Are you here to threaten me?"
