Ethan shut his eyes in the car, taking a break. Cyril noticed that the air in the vehicle was so silent that it creeped him out.Thus, he took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Miller, did the negotiation go bust?""It's not that. The negotiation was impossible in the first place. She's ill." Ethan covered his forehead. "It's been so many years, yet she hasn't changed at all. She's even become worse than before. I shouldn't have softened up and saved her back then."Ten years ago, he saw the suffering Kayla by coincidence when he was passing by a village in the mountains.Her family favored sons over daughters.Her brother went to a high school in another area, and her family wanted her to quit school to marry her off to an old man in the village.They were planning to sell the wedding gift so that they would have the money to send her brother to school.

Ethan sat in the main seat without uttering a word.Usually, his gaze alone was enough to scare one. But everyone was gutsy enough to tell him off today."Ethan, you've never let me down with your capabilities. That year, everyone agreed to the idea of handing the company over to you. And you didn't disappoint us. You've been managing the company well."But how could you make such a big mistake? It's not only the share price, but our reputation and company have been ruined overnight. Our ancestors worked so hard to build them up. As the president, you should give us an answer to this."With a cold expression, Ethan said briefly yet confidently, "Wait.""Wait? Wait for what? Do you know how many people are waiting to see us fall to rock bottom? And how many people are biding their time to make things harder for us so that someone else can replace us?"Honestly speaking, even someone who doesn't mingle around much in this industry is aware of how important the PR department is. It'

Ethan's slender finger tapped on the table. Finally, Gary had shown his true colors.As soon as Gary finished speaking, all eyes were on him.Some of them understood the situation, while some of them were furious and questioning what he was doing.On the contrary, Ethan, the main character of the issue, appeared calm.

There will be some

Thinking about the shareholder voting that was going to commence half an hour later, Cyril wasn't afraid of it.He felt sorry for Ethan instead."Mr. Miller, you've poured so much effort into the company, and that's why it could achieve such achievements. How could they repay your favor by trying to dismiss you from your position?"Ethan lit a cigarette. "This might not be a bad thing. I've long noticed someone plotting something behind the scenes. I can use the opportunity to lure the rat out.""Are you trying to clear the decks, Mr. Miller?""It'll happen sooner or later." Ethan exhaled a cloud of smoke. "I'll make him know what's the consequence of coveting something that doesn't belong to him."Cyril took his phone out and glanced at it. "As you've expected, Kayla met a man after you l
