Chapter 29
"Don't you know?" As the employee carried a pile of documents in his arms, he quickly explained, "Our company's capital chain has broken! President Wynn is going to transfer her share of the company and the signing will be the day after tomorrow! The new president, Alex Wynn, has brought a new batch of middle-level managers into the company to review all of us! Also, those who aren't willing to betray President Wynn have all been fired! That's why everyone is denying their connections with her since they don't want to be seen as her henchmen and lose their jobs! I can't waste time talking to you anymore. I need to hand this relationship chart to the new manager right now before others try to take credit!" As soon as he said that, he ran to the elevator in great haste.
Right then, Kingsley's eyes were filled with coldness. Alex Wynn is the new president?! With a sullen face, he took the elevator to the top floor only to discover total chaos at the usual peaceful hanging gardens.
"Reene Wynn, the document I gave you two days ago is still unsigned, right? Give it back to me now! I need the signature of the new president!"
"Oh, and my project proposal too! All my latest ideas are in it! Hand it to me right now!"
"Mine contains all confidential information! Where did you keep it? I’ll get a lawyer if you're not going to return it to me!"
Even though Reene's office door was shut, the sound of the crusade inside—which was adding insult to her injury—could still be heard from outside.
"Everybody, there's no need to panic. I'll do a proper handover with Alex and I won't get in your way, I promise."
"You'll do a proper handover? How can we believe you?"
"That's right! All the documents contain the company's highest level of classified info! I don’t believe you’re kind enough to not take any of them with you!"
"You’re not to leave unless you warrant us to conduct a body search or you could just walk out of here naked! Otherwise, our legal department will charge you for theft of confidential info!"
As the accusations and threats increased, Kingsley could not stand it anymore. Bang! He kicked the office door open and shouted, "Neveah Store has yet to change its regime and y'all are already so eager to turn your backs on her?!"
That powerful voice stunned the whole office, including the business elites in their suites.
A surprised Reene asked, "Kingsley, why are you here?"
"Well, I’m glad I'm here." The sullen-looking Kingsley walked to her side. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen how these ungrateful idiots are walking all over you!"
As soon as he said that, the whole office turned into chaos once again.
"Hey! Who are you calling idiots?"
"Reene, who's this guy? How disrespectful of you to let outsiders stomp in here!"
"Right! Even a random little brat can come in here to tell us what to do. Can the company get any worse than this?"
Reene was flushed with distress and quickly explained, "Everybody, please calm down. He's my little brother. He didn't mean what he said so please don't—"
Before she could even finish her sentence, the assistant manager of the legal department, Gordon Rhodes, waved his hand impatiently. "So what if he's your brother? It doesn't matter to us! What we want now is a body search and then you’ll get the h*ll out of here!"
Benjamin, who was beside Gordon, nodded as he chimed, "Heck yeah, body search! We’re not letting any confidential information be sneaked out of this room! Then, we can take our time checking her room and computer!"
Without any hesitation, a few obscene-looking men came forward and volunteered. "I'll do the search! I'll search every part of her from head to toe!"
"Over my dead body!" Kingsley shouted and stood in front of Reene. If he was not his sane self, he would not have waited another heartbeat to kill all these b*stards off!
These idiots fawned over Reene like dogs with treats back when the company was still doing well, but look at how the tables had turned! It would be redundant to keep people like them; they would be the scourge of the company!
His hazel eyes glanced coldly at everyone in the office as he uttered, "Why don't you try?!"
At that moment, they were dominated by his ferocity; looks were exchanged in the room while the
'tributes' who previously volunteered were nowhere to be heard.
Kingsley’s expression could not be any colder at this point. "Rubbing salt to the wound, huh? Aren’t you afraid to be fired by President Wynn once we pull through this crisis?"
"Pull through this crisis?" Gordon sneered. "Are you kidding me? Jacob Corporation is obviously trying to bring Reene down. It's patently absurd if she's still able to get any investment to save the company!"
While crossing his arms across his chest, Benjamin gave a contemptuous look and left a comment. "Do you think we're as dumb as you? Who doesn't know that the Wynns will be taking over Neveah Store? Alex Wynn is taking over the office and Reene is already in the doghouse!" Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
When Kingsley heard that, he turned to Reene and asked, "Reene, have you signed the equity transfer agreement?"
"Not yet. We've agreed to carry out the handover with Clark Corporation the day after tomorrow," Reene sighed. "But Alex just couldn't wait. He has already brought people over to handle the personnel of the company."
At this moment, his face turned cold in an instant. Clark Corporation?! It’s Clarence and Alex Wynn! Oh, they’re definitely getting bored of their peaceful life. They think they can just walk all over Reene while I’m here, huh?
"Quit dragging this out!" Benjamin shouted impatiently. "Our strategy development department is going to have a meeting with the new president in the afternoon. Hand me all the document proposals. Now!"
The others were getting grumpy as they echoed, "Right! Our brand management department needs the
documents urgently too! The new manager wanted us to collect all the information about the suppliers!"
"Not as urgent as our finance department! Don't you know the financial statements are going to be the first thing he checks?!"
"Reene, give them up right now if you still wanna retain some respect!"
Watching these hideous faces pushing Reene to the sideline, Kingsley bellowed with a cold tone, "The equity transfer agreement has not been signed yet, which means Reene is still the president! And I can tell you for sure that Neveah Store will not change ownership!"
With that, the others looked at each other and jeered, "How does a little novice like you know how to run a business?"
"Shut your crap. You don't even have the right to speak up here!"
Just then, Gordon walked up to Kingsley and poked his shoulder provocatively. "Kid, Young Master Caleb has previously asked me to look into you. You’re in big trouble, aren’t you, big boy? So, I’ll say, mind your own d*mn business before I ruin your whole life!"
A thundering slap landed on his face seconds after his threat! It was Reene! You can screw me over but not my brother!
While gnashing her teeth in rage, she snapped, "This matter is only between us! Don't you dare involve him!"
Gordon's cheek was burning hot from her slap. With a scowl, he yelled, "You f*cking b*tch just slapped me?!" In his anger, he grabbed a chair from the side and threw it right at Reene.
