Chapter 78 Leave the Smith Group
After Clare had talked with Ivan, he frequently appeared in the company and began to intervene in various. company affairs. Ultimately, he flipped out on Alston in a meeting because of disputes with Alston.
At the Smith Group’s shareholder meeting. Clare looked at Alston coldly and said in an aggrieved voice, “Alston, I know that you are now the uncompromising person in charge of the Smith Group and don’t care me, even though I’m your uncle. But I also have the Smith Group’s shares. Why do you ignore my opinion.”
Alston sat on the chair, and his face was stern without apparent emotions. “Uncle Clare, you have the right to raise opinions, but your opinions are not suitable for our current project at all, so I also have the right to reject them.”
Looking at Alston’s calmness and carelessness, Clare was even angrier. “It seems you’re so confident in
managing the company that you don’t need me anymore and try every means to force me to leave. Since you
insist on your decision, I will also stick to mine. I can’t stay in the Smith Group any longer, and now I’m
officially separated from the company. Then I’m no longer your obstacle.”
Alston heard him confuse right and wrong and couldn’t help but sneer, “It seems you are determined to leave
the Smith Group. I can’t stop you if you leave the Smith family and establish yours. Then do what you want.”
After Alston finished speaking, Clare blushed, snorted coldly, and left without hesitation.
As soon as he left, the shareholders at the meeting started whispering. The scene was chaotic for a while,
and then one shareholder stood up. “Mr. Smith, we admit you are capable, but you are too young. I favor your
uncle’s idea this time. I’m sorry.”
After speaking, he followed Clare and left. Then several others went one after another.
Alston narrowed his eyes, looked coldly at the shareholders sitting below, and said in a low voice, “Who else
wants to leave? You can follow Clare, and I will not stop you.”
After speaking, the meeting room was silent. After a long time, someone stood up and said, “Mr. Smith, we
have been in the Smith Group for many years. After you took over the company, it developed even better. We
trust you even more and will always follow you.”
Subsequently, there were echoes all over the room.
Alston glanced at the rest. The people on Clare’s side had already left, including two principal shareholders
and a few small shareholders. But Mr. Johnson put it clear that he would support him this time, and the
number of people who chose to stay in the Smith Group was not small.
Alston nodded and said, “Thank you all. I, Alston Smith, will never let down your trust.”
A brief sentence was like to give everyone a much-needed shot in their arms, and their unease was settled.
After the meeting. Alston returned to the office, and Lloyd stood aside to report, “Clare and those
shareholders have sold off their shares in the Smith Group. I have arranged for people to buy them all. It’s
unclear how many benefits Clare promised them all, making them will rather follow him than stay in the
Smith Group.”
Alston closed his eyes and tapped the table lightly with his slender fingers without any worry on his face. Since he knew Clare’s thought of leaving the Smith Group, he had planned everything and waited to drive him
out of the company.
“Keep staring at them and report to me as soon as there is movement.”
Lloyd nodded. “I see!”
“By the way, when will the Green family arrive in Fort?” Alston opened his eyes which were as deep as a pool.
Lloyd answered, “I guess they will arrive next week, and I already get the news that the Green family is preparing to leave Coast City.”
Alston calmly nodded as if everything was under his control.
Lloyd stood beside him with an inscrutable smile.
After Cynthia learned that Clare had left the Smith Group, she found Alston was even busier, going out early
and returning late every day.
It was past midnight, and Alston had just returned home. Not long after he returned, Greg had something to
report, and the two went to the study.
Cynthia felt distressed when seeing him busy.
It was not clear where Stella went for fun. She didn’t spend the night at the Smith family these days.
Cynthia got up, went downstairs to warm up two cups of milk, and brought them to the study. She knocked on the door, and a low and hoarse voice came out from the study.
“Come in.”
Cynthia pushed the door open and went in, finding that Alston was still flipping through the documents and Greg standing aside. Both of them looked up when they heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
She smiled. “I warmed up two cups of milk. You can talk after drinking the milk.”
Greg hurriedly took over the tray. “Mrs. Smith, how can I burden you with such work? Let me do it.”
