Without any hesitation, I called Marcus.
“Scar?” Marcus sounded surprised.
“Why did you not tell me about White Corporation’s trouble?” I demanded. I hated being kept in the dark.
“It has nothing to do with you,” he sighed and left it at that.
I had no time for casual talk, so I went straight to the point. “I don’t know where you are now, but if you trust me, send a power of attorney to White Corporation and grant me agent powers to act as White Corporation’s chairman in your absence. I will represent you in the acquisition bid negotiations.” Before long, news of me appointed as acting chairman of White Corporation spread like wildfire through the city.
I was expecting GW to come knocking at the door first. Surprisingly, it was Ashton.
It was ten in the morning. He should be at his office at this hour, but he suddenly came back and barged into the study.
I was having a video conference with the shareholders of White Corporation. I turned to look at Ashton, then resumed the meeting, unconcerned.
Obviously, Ashton would not take that disregard lying down. He marched over and pulled the plug on the monitor.
I lowered my gaze and remained silent for a long while. “What do you want?” When I finally looked up to speak, my expression was cold. “
