"You may leave now."
After the meeting, Jessica stood up and was about to leave when an old shareholder said in
displeasure, "Ms. Greenspan, I have known Mr. Stark for so many years and know what kind of person
he is. You should honestly tell us where he has gone. He can't let you take charge of the company!"
Jessica stopped and looked straight at him.
"So do you think that I hid him somewhere?"
"It is very likely!"
In this company, he and Mr. Stark had been here for the longest time while Jessica had just gotten
here. From his standpoint, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Why would I do that? Mr. Stark has shown me nothing but kindness, if not for him, I will not be
standing here today. Don't you think your idea is ridiculous?"
"But as the saying goes, greed drives men insane. Maybe you are not satisfied with your current
position and you want more?"
Jessica smiled, "I don't think I'm the one who wants more, but you."
The look on the old shareholder's face suddenly changed, "What are you saying?"
"Isn't it true? No one else here raised an objection. You are the only who objected. Is it because you
have been in lower position than Mr. Stark and you want to replace him?"
Her words brought all the attention of the rest shareholders to this old shareholder.
The old shareholder was unhappy, he angrily said, "That is absurd! Everyone here knows that Mr. Stark
and I have been friends for years. You think you can sow discord between us with just a few words!"
"Sow discord? I don't think I can make it. Everyone here has his own judgment, I believe that one day
the truth will reveal itself when the time comes!"
With that, Jessica left.
The old shareholder looked at everyone, who looked at him with suspicious eyes, he became angry
from shame.
"You have worked with me for so long and have only known her for a few days, you chose to believe
her instead of me? Don't you feel it ridiculous?" Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
All of them were in quiet deliberation.
"Fine, just wait and see, if you insist on believing in that woman, the company will go bankrupt sooner
or later."
The old shareholder went straight out.
He was upset in the company that he didn't want to stay anymore, so he left the company building.
He was surprised that Sophia would appear in front of him.
"Mr. Johns, it's been a long time!"
The old shareholder looked at her and sighed, "Ms. Lawson, let's find a place to talk. I know a nice
place."
Sophia knew that he was a smart man and she smiled, "Alright."
As soon as the two left, they were seen by someone, who then told Jessica about it.
Jessica sneered and said, "What should I worry? They just met."
"Ms. Greenspan, think about it. Mr. Johns met Ms. Lawson at this time. The two will certainly collude
against you."
"Since even you know that they want to collude, why should I worry about it? Now that I have gotten
Mr. Stark out of the picture, the biggest threat now is Mr. Johns, why can't I take this chance to get rid
of him too?"
The person seems to understand what she meant, "Ms. Greenspan, you are brilliant! I didn't think of
that at all. In that case, should we give it a little push?"
Jessica smiled, "Okay. I will leave it to you. Do it well!"
"I will."
The man turned around and left.
In a remote but unique restaurant, Sophia and Mr. Johns sat down.
"Mr. Johns, I know you have been friends with Mr. Stark and you must be really worried now."
Mr. Johns sighed, "To tell you the truth, I am really very worried about him. Jessica Greenspan said that
Mr. Stark was dealing with an emergency, but she did not help him. He had been supporting her all this
time and she took it for granted. She must have ulterior motives."
Sophia, stirring the coffee, said, "It's only normal she has ulterior motives. After all, she's just an
illegitimate daughter of the Greenspan family."
Mr. Johns seemed to understand something, "So, you mean, she wants to get the whole Cannon
Group?"
Sophia smiled, "Do you think that's all she wants?"
Mr. Johns did not understand what she was implying.
"Don't you know why Jessica is against me?"
Mr. Johns had known something about Jessica, but he didn't know much about the feud between
Jessica and Sophia.
He started to understand what was the problem after talking with Sophia.
"You mean, she has done so much to get Mr. Riley?"
"Yes, of course, she wants my husband. My husband is a decent man, but there are always women
coming after him, I just have to get rid of them for him."
Mr. Johns looked at her, "So, you are going to get rid of Jessica?"
"Jessica has been really annoying. She knows that Drake and I are on good terms, but again and
again, she wants to sabotage our relationship. She's just like her mother."
"God has punished her mother; she should get punished as well."
Mr. Johns thought carefully, "But killing is illegal!"
"I know, of course. Maybe I don't have to kill her. I just need to send her behind bars."
Mr. Johns seemed to understand, "What's your plan, Ms. Lawson?"
"Keep pushing and you will be bit back. Since she has just had a victory, she won't do anything to me
for now. But if I took what she wanted away, she would snap. Before that, I need to find Mr. Stark first."
Mr. Johns nodded, "Since you are a friend to the Cannon Group, I naturally want to cooperate with you.
Just tell me what to do."
"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Johns. What I need you to do now is that you should stay in the Cannon
Group and try not to conflict with her. When I am trying to find Mr. Stark, you should firmly hold on to
your shares from Jessica."
"I see. I will!"
"Thank you, Mr. Johns."
"You are welcome. We are both doing this for Mr. Stark's sake. He's in danger now and I can't sit by
and watch."
Sophia said enviously, "Mr. Johns, you know? I am really moved by your friendship. In most
companies, there are only interests and never friends. People turn against each other for benefits."
"But you two are different. You have been good friends since you founded the Cannon Group and you
are his best right hand man. Mr. Stark is really lucky to have a friend like you."
Mr. Johns smiled, "Ms. Lawson, I have heard of such words before. I have never told anyone the story
of Mr. Stark and me, but now I'd love to tell you."
