Chapter 3
He wailed and fell on his back.
Then, no one dared to move.
I walked over, stepped on his face and said, "You keep saying that I am super male, then you should know how cruel I am. Since you know it well, how dare you mess with me? Why, did my slutty mother forget to give you a brain when she gave birth to you?"
"Call the police!"
Harry immediately shouted. "He hit someone, call the police and arrest him!"
"Ah, are you upset that I didn't hit you when I hit him? Why are you so impatient?" I said while looking at him with a murderous look.
Harry was so frightened that he immediately stepped back.
My mother quickly said, "Lucian, they are ignorant, so don't bother with them."
"If they are ignorant, then aren't you ignorant too?"
"You are over fifty years old, aren't you?"
"Did you ever tell me when you brought these two bastard home?"
"Not only did you bring them back, but you also yelled at me. Is it because I haven't beaten you in a long time that you thought I had a good temper?" I questioned.
"Lucian, she is your mom after all, how can you talk to her so rudely?" My father angrily rebuked.
I raised the frying pan and swung it over him, but he raised his hand to block it. His defense was so skilled that it made me feel distressed, after all, he was used to it.
"You, you ...." My father jumped in anger, but he did not dare to continue talking.
"Stop driving me crazy!" I sneered.
Then I walked in front of Kimberly, pinched her chin and said, "Behave yourself, don't think I don't bully women!"
As soon as I finished my words, I went back to my room.
After returning to the room, I immediately contacted my assistant to inquire about the current situation of the company.
The assistant said that there had been no personnel changes in the company recently.
Kimberly joined the company, but she was at the lower level.
As for the two brothers, Harper and Harry, they went to the company several times with my mother. Although they pretended to be cool, they did not get the job.
The current management system of the company was also in accordance with the policy I formulated before I left.
The previous projects had been maintained well and the new one were also relatively stable.
I then breathed a sigh of relief and asked the board of directors about the attitudes of those shareholders.
Those shareholders were all considered veterans of the company. After my grandfather passed away, they tried to sideline me. A few of them were very restless and were later suppressed by me, but they still had ulterior motives.
Now that my parents had brought their daughter and son with them, they must be ready to make a move.
But the assistant said that the board of directors was very quiet and there was no movement.
No movement was the biggest movement.
I did not say anything. After hanging up the phone, I sent a few more messages.
Then I needed to call important partners to keep in touch with them.
That was why I did not like doing business. There were too many intrigues and scheming and it was very tiring. But I was actually very lazy.
I was so busy until dark that I even had dinner in my room.
I had nothing to do, so I turned on the surveillance.
Soon, three people were seen in the audio-visual room.
It was Harper, Harry and Kimberly.
"Kimberly, don't be afraid, I can protect you!"
Harper's face was swollen, but he still blew the bull very loudly.
"What you guys want to do is your own business."
"I am different from you. You are here to rob this family property, but I am here for revenge."
"I don't want any of this family property, I just want Lucian to die," she said coldly, then stood up and left.
Want me to die?
Revenge?
Does sh have a grudge against me?
Besides, she looked very different from how she looked at the dinner table.
Interesting.
I would like to see what she could do.
Chapter 4
Ten minutes later, Kimberly returned to her room.
Just as she locked the door, she saw me behind the door in surprised. "You ...."
She almost screamed and I covered her mouth.
I squinted at her and asked, "You want me to die? Revenge? Tell me more, do you have a grudge against me?"
Hearing what I said, Kimberly was so shocked that she was speechless.
However, she was clever, she had guessed that there were surveillance cameras in every corner of the house.
"If you want to have a good talk, just blink your eyes," I said with a smile.
She blinked. Wow, these big, pure and watery eyes look so beautiful when they blinked.
I let her go, walked to the bed and sat down, then patted the bed and said, "Come on, let's talk in detail."
She twitched at the corner of her mouth, but she did not get angry. Instead, she calmly said, "From your reaction, what you just said doesn't seem like a lie, so you really don't know why I wanted to kill you?"
"I have no idea," I said with a nod.
She nodded and said calmly, "That means your dad lied to me. He said that it was you who caused my mom's death."
"My motive for attacking your mom could only be to vent my anger for her, but as you can see, I have no feelings for my parents."
"And you're not my dad's daughter, you don't pose any threat to me."
I smiled and asked, "Then guess who benefited the most from your mom's death?"
"After my dad passed away, most of my family's business was done with your dad's help," she replied.
"Even though the shares of the company are in my hands now, several of the company's main projects are in your dad's hands."
"So that's why he arranged for me to join your company. On the surface, it seemed like he was giving me a chance to take revenge, but in reality, he was also trying to sideline me?"
After her brief analysis, her eyes were full of hatred, but she still said to me, "I will investigate it myself, I can't believe everything you say!"
"Just let me know if you need help anytime."
I reached my goal, got up and left.
What a joke, how could my dad, a man who only did things for the sake of profit, dare to take the risk of getting hit by me to bring Kimberly home?
There must be a profit in it.
The next day.
I arrived at the company early and half an hour later, the board of directors came one after another.
They asked me how I had been doing in the past six months and I just answered them casually.
Since everyone was gathered, the board of directors's meeting had officially begun.
"In the second half of the year, I plan to launch several projects for the company."
I got straight to the point.
But at this moment, Garvin Agler, who had always been at loggerheads with me, said, "Lucian, you are the chairman, but you are rarely in the company. This is irresponsible to the company and to our shareholders."
Oliver Winston agreed and said, "Yes, Lucian. If this continue to happen, the company will be in trouble in your hands. Why don't you resign and let your father manage it for you?"
"Those who agree raise their hands," Garvin said as he raised his hand.
It seemed that it was a planned meeting to dismiss me as the chairman.
Oliver also raised his hand and the other directors who were on good terms with them also raised their hands to vote.
My mother added. "Dear all board of directors, as the mother of Lucian Hartnett, I can responsibly say that he is a super male, cunning, cruel and inhumane. He is not suitable to sit in this position."
Harper cried bitterly and said, "Yesterday I just took the dishes in front of him during dinner and he beat me. How can such a person manage the company well?"
Harry pointed at Kimberly and said, "And as soon as he got home, he immediately targeted Kimberly. If we hadn't stopped him, she might have been ruined. Such a person is simply a criminal. How can we let him manage the company?"
Everyone's gaze was on Kimberly.
It seemed that as long as Kimberly nodded, they would vote to remove me.
The rest of the people, except for those who support me, were just waiting and watching.
At this moment, the door of the meeting room was pushed open.
My parents came in, followed by Harper and Harry, as well as Kimberly.
The swelling on Harper's face should have been better, but it looked even more swollen, like a pig's head.
My father said with some grief, "Lucian, you are really not suitable for this position. Yesterday you beat your brother just because you're unhappy. If you get stronger one day, will you also beat your partner?"
