"Dismissed?" Everyone was shocked by Alma's announcement."Do you have the authority to do that? My daughter was personally appointed by the patriarch of the Nicholson family! You have no right to dismiss her!" Florence was furious."Exactly! Ever since Dahlia assumed her position as chairman, she has brought in great revenue for the company! She managed to bring in over 500 million in profit within just a month! What right do you have to dismiss her from her position?" Julie was extremely pissed by Alma's actions.Before Dahlia became chairman of Nicholson Corp., it had always been in a state of loss. It was only through Dahlia's hard work and determination to reform the company that it was brought back to life. Now that it was finally starting to pick up, Alma was going to dismiss her as she wished. How ungrateful!"I am now standing in as head of the family, so what I say goes! None of you have the right to interfere with my decisions!" Alma bellowed."Y—you … you're too much!"
Chapter 708
As Alma left Nicholson Corp., she was in a terrible mood. A person of her status has never had anyone question her decisions. But today, she was publicly challenged and even lost one of her loyal aides. There was no doubt that she'd be in a foul mood. However, they are currently in Balerno. If she wanted to get revenge, she'd have to arrange for her trusted confidants to come over from Glenstead."Grandmother, Dahlia was personally appointed by Grandfather to be chairman of the company. Will it put you in a predicament when Grandfather comes around to find that you've dismissed her from her position without consulting him about it?" Julian asked hesitantly. Although Alma's actions had pleased him greatly, he was certain that such overbearing actions would be frowned upon."What do I have to fear when we don't even know if he's ever going to come around?" Alma said nonchalantly."Isn't Grandfather just suffering from some of his old ailments? He should be alright after resting up for

"I see. But why did you get Hank to murder James, then? Isn't that unnecessary?" Julian wondered why his grandmother would waste such effort to have James dead. James was an unimportant side character, and it was a waste of resources to even deal with him."James? I don't even know who that is. Why would I want to kill him? I suppose Hank decided to take things into his own hands and just get rid of him. Anyway, that's not important. It doesn't affect us in the least what happened to him." Alma waved her hand dismissively.As she spoke, she suddenly shuddered, and her breathing became erratic. A piercing pain hit her and spread out across her entire body."Are you alright, Grandmother?" Julian immediately noticed that Alma didn't look good."It's nothing new. Go and get me my medicine from the car. Hurry," Alma instructed. "Yes, Grandmother." Julian dared not hesitate even for a moment and quickly ran over to the Rolls-Royce parked in front of them before he started rummaging aro

"Grandmother!' Julian was terribly shaken when he saw Alma collapse suddenly. Without a moment to spare, he quickly started the car and sent her to the hospital.After the doctors tended to her, Alma was no longer in life-threatening danger. But her condition was far from good."Doctor, how's my grandmother doing?" Julian immediately went up to the doctor the moment he stepped out of the ward."Mr. Nicholson, has your grandmother been frequently taking some special medication?" the doctor asked."Yes. She's been feeling unwell, so she takes some supplements occasionally," Julian admitted."I'm afraid those aren't as simple as supplements." The doctor shook his head. "The patient's heavily reliant on the medication, and she has great amounts of toxins in her body. And with her old age, I'm afraid there isn't much we can do for her.""How is this possible? This is the best hospital there is! Is there nothing you can do?" Julian frowned."The best solution now is to let the patient

"Dahlia, are we really leaving?" Julie seemed reluctant to part with the huge and luxurious office. Due to her position as the chairman's secretary, she got to enjoy lots of benefits. No matter where she went, people were ready to shower her with attention and flattery. As a result, she even slept with several young and attractive men. But now that Dahlia has been dismissed from her position as chairman, Julia was no longer her secretary."We've got no choice. They have the final say. Before the head of the family comes around, we have no choice but to obey their instructions for now." After she cleared up the office, Dahlia sighed softly. It had not been easy for her to get to where she was. Of course, she wasn't ready to give up yet. But Alma was now in charge, and Dahlia had no means of going up against her."This is all your fault! If you hadn't crossed the matriarch of the Nicholson family, Dahlia would not have been dismissed from her position!" Julie turned to glare at Dustin,

Thrown off by the sudden slap, Julian held his burning cheek with his hand in disbelief. No one had ever dared to hit him all his life, so it took some time for the fact to settle in with him.Florence and the rest of them exchanged looks between themselves and stared with bewilderment. Dustin was too bold to slap the eldest legitimate grandson of the Nicholson family!"You … How dare you slap me?" When Julian finally came to his senses, his expression was dark, and his gaze looked like he could murder them at any moment."Yes, I've slapped you. So what? You speak so arrogantly. Did you think you didn't deserve that?" Dustin countered calmly."You impudent bastard! Get him!" Julian bellowed."Yes, sir!" The bodyguards pulled out their weapons and charged toward Dustin. But before they even managed to lay a finger on him, Dustin kicked each of them and sent them all sprawling to the ground. Just like that, the fight was over.Julian's face fell as he stumbled backward. They were

It would not change a thing if Dahlia was reinstated. If the Nicholsons weren't happy with her performance, they could still dismiss her at any moment they wished."And the third condition?" Julian pressed."My third condition is for you to transfer all the shares of Nicholson Corp. to Dahlia with absolutely no charges." Dustin raised three fingers."What? All the shares? You might as well rob a bank or something!" Julian's frown deepened. Nicholson Corp. was worth over 100 billion dollars, and the company had a promising future ahead. With the shares that they currently had, they would be worth at least 60 to 70 billion if they converted them into cash. Even for a family as wealthy as the Nicholsons, it was considered a huge amount."It's quicker to extort you than to rob," Dustin said reasonably. "Anyway, I've listed my conditions. It's up to you whether you agree to them.""No way! That's impossible!" Julian turned him down without much thought. Once he becomes the family head,

"Madam Alma agreed?" Both Florence and Julie were dumbstruck when they heard that. All their grumbles and doubts transformed into pure shock. They hadn't expected the Nicholsons to agree to the unreasonable request from Dustin. Those were shares worth billions! Could they bear to let it go like that? Wasn't that too much of a price to pay?At that moment, even Dahlia looked surprised. She could not comprehend why the Nicholsons were willing to pay such a ridiculous price for just a bottle of medicine."Since she's agreed, then get your grandmother to make a trip here to sign the papers. We'll make a fair transaction." Dustin smiled. He wasn't the least bit surprised by Alma's choice. He knew very well what people heavily reliant on Zirtanium were like. They would never be able to resist the temptation. After all, the Nicholsons had trillions in assets! Sacrificing one company wouldn't hurt them too much.When Julian finally drove off, Dahlia could no longer hold back her curiosity.
