If they followed Vanessa... who knows what kind of chaos the company will face!
“Uh, can I say something?” One of the minor shareholders stood up and said, “Look, I don’t care if it’s the White family or the Costello family in charge. As long as I make money and get my dividends every year, I’m good. So, for this vote, I’m neutral…I’m neutral.”
Another shareholder stood up, “Yeah, I’m neutral too…”
“Me too, sorry Johns…”
Several others who had promised to back Johns also stepped back.
Colby spoke slowly, “By the way, your old buddy, Dominic, has just been kicked out of the company. If anyone else here wants the same fate, feel free to stand up.”
Hearing this, Johns’s face turned dark, “Colby! Dominic was one of our major shareholders. What gives you the right to fire him?”
Colby replied calmly, “I own sixty percent of the shares, which gives me absolute authority. If anyone wants to leave Costello Corporation, just say the word. I have plenty of money to buy back your shares, and more ways to make you want to leave voluntarily. If you don’t want your shares, there are plenty of people out there who do.”
Everything Colby said was the harsh truth. Those who had been pushing for Colby to step down were now too scared to even breathe loudly.
“Colby… I’m sorry. My family depends on these shares to live. It was all Johns and Dominic’s idea! I had nothing to do with it! I know I messed up!”
“Colby! I realize my mistake too… I won’t do it again! Please, Colby, have mercy!”
The shareholders who had been reprimanded were now kneeling on the ground, begging for forgiveness.
Everyone in the room knew about Colby’s ruthless methods. They had just forgotten the sting after their wounds had healed, forgetting how Colby had dealt with those who were on the fringes of the White family.
“Anyone else want to leave? I’ll count to three.”
