Chapter 268: Replaced Him
Chapter 268: Replaced Him
Looking at Joey, who was as sharp as a sword, Ben could no longer be as calm as before. He had to
admit that Joey had changed. She was no longer that easy to bully.
However, Ben had only been nervous for a short while before he became calm and composed again.
He leaned over to whisper upon Joey's ear, his eyes filled with threatening, "You’ve changed a lot, and
I’m impressed. But there is something you should know. When your transgender friend bought the
photos and videos from me four years ago, I kept a copy, and I still have it now. If you return Vivian's
5% equity to me, I will give the last copy of the photos and videos."
As despicable as it was, this was the only bargaining chip Ben had against Joey. He had no other way
apart from threatening her.
He spent a lot of effort to build the company over the past four years. This was the proudest
accomplishment in his life. He would never give it away. Therefore, he was willing to try any despicable
methods.
Unfortunately, he had underestimated Joey's determination to take revenge. She was ruthless now.
With a fierce gleam in her eyes, Joey said coldly, "I knew you wouldn't have given all the copies of the
photos and videos to Fiona. I've thought about this before I come back and stand in front of you. I used
to be afraid of the things in your hands, because there were people I cared about. But now, I don't care
about anything. The things in your hands are no longer a threat to me. You can go ahead and expose
them. But I can assure you that the next day you expose them, I will use the evidence that I’ve been
keeping from that year to keep you in prison for the rest of your life."
Actually, Joey could have punished Ben through the legal channel, but Joey did not do so.
There were many ways to get revenge. Joey wanted to torture Ben slowly. She wanted to take away all
the things he cared about bit by bit, such as his company, his money, and his status. She wanted him
to suffer the pain of losing everything before using the law to completely destroy his life.
Facing Joey's resolution and madness, Ben had no doubt that she was capable of doing what she said.
His only bargaining chip became useless instantly.
Finally, he panicked.
He watched her company fall into Joey's hands but couldn't do anything about it.
During this conversation, Joey and Ben spoke in a low voice. The managers of Phoebus Company Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
could see the hostile look on their faces, but they could not hear the tit-for-tat confrontation. Only Philip
could hear it.
He was standing close to Joey, so he could hear everything they had said.
It was not until now did he realize that Ben had something on Joey. Joey had never mentioned it to him.
Despite his puzzlement, Philip stood quietly beside Joey.
Now it was not the time to ask her.
Undoubtedly, Joey replaced Ben as president and sat on the master seat that Ben had previously
occupied.
As for Ben, although the share he owned was only 2% less than Joey's, this insignificant 2% had made
him fall to the second place in the company.
After taking her post, the first thing Joey did was to retract Ben's plan of building the largest commercial
building in City A. Instantly, Ben was so embarrassed that his blood vessels almost exploded.
Despite the high positions they were in, the department managers were just working for a paycheck.
They would listen to whoever was the boss. Although Joey was a woman, they had seen her ability
today. This new female boss was probably not inferior to Ben. In order to save their jobs, they adjusted
their attitudes immediately. Whatever Joey asked, they would answer honestly.
In just half an hour, Joey had a rough idea about the structure of Phoebus Company, which surprised
her. Phoebus Company was far bigger than she had imagined. It seemed that she had a close win this
time!
At the end of the meeting, the HR manager reported a trivial matter-at Ben's request, Phoebus had
been recruiting secretaries for the president. The HR manager had already selected three people from
nearly 100 interviewees yesterday, and they would come to work tomorrow.
This was originally a trivial matter that did not need to be raised at the meeting, but there was
something unusual. One of the five secretaries who had been hired was a man.
